Hi! Im finally bringing this up to the general community after a month of suffering from this thing my Sony S Tablet is experiencing through. My Sony S Tablet randomly touches itself on the screen, to be more specific the lower function buttons ( Back key, Home Key, and Recently used app Key). Its really annoying when im browsing the net either stock browser/dolphin HD or watch videos on Gallery/Quickpic the tab touches the back button or home button and repeatedly does that and wont stop until i lock the tab or even turns it off. Its getting more worst as each day passes by. I think i noticed this one after doing this one:

Then you are very, very, very, very lucky. LOL One of the only regions left that we can root (as Sony removed 3.2.1 from servers when 4.0.3 ICS R1A/R2A came out.
You are on 11000 version so flash this:
0035
http://www.mediafire.com/?cti11ejoxpxx4cm
This will give you 3.2 (newer than 11000) kernel 10 (don't worry about the k10 issue, not relevant with 3.2)
Then flash this:
0042 (under kernel 10 3.2.1 : ) )

There are the files to install:
Move to SD card (not possible without SD)
Insert SD card
Turn off tab
Hold VOL DOWN BUTTON
Turn on tab, while still holding VOL DOWN
TAHDAH recovery menu. Flash as above
NB vol up, down are up, down and use power to select, install update from SD card, choose update from zip.

When i first recieved this one all was well. but only when i tried rooting/upgrading it for the first time and it became worst when i successfully upgraded from HC to ICS 4.0.3 RC5
I tried:
1. Factory reset via Recovery Mode
2. Factory reset via settings
3. Erasing everything on the external storage
4. Changing into "Medium" the touch and hold delay
but still the problem persists. Anyone got any clue regarding whats happening on my Sony S Tablet? I also got queries
1. Could this be a problem with virus? i tried clearing up the external storage but its still there
2. How could i revert back to the original ROM i was in when i first recieved it? i dont care if its HC as long as the annoying problem disappears
3. What if i lost my Original receipt of my Tab could i still avail its warranty if i finally decided to send it back to the service team?
4. And is there any cure to this madness my tab is into?
5. Anyone knows whats the specific name my tablet is experiencing? Google cant be my bestfriend if i wont give him specific items to be searched
Any forms of help, suggestions and advices are warmly appreciated. Thanks!
Do you have a screen protector installed? Had the same problem about one week after installing the protector. The problem disappeared after some air escaped after rubbing the screen protector. Looks like there was some sort of static interference with the touch screen. Haven't had this problem again since. Good luck!

Probably from Heating
Touch screen recognizes touch from heating. I had the same problem too, and here is what I noticed:
when the battery level goes to ~<20%, the problem starts. charged it to full, and it was gone. checked 2 times. Doesn't cause problem when fully charged.
when the battery level goes down, the tablet slightly overheats at the bottom. I think that is what causing it. Try charging it to full and report it here if the problem still persists
Have that issue also. Don't think it's too common actually. The reps. at my local Sony Center just laughed at me, and said they never heard such thing before.. Never noticed if it's battery related, but will look for it, next time it occurs. That'll mean it's a hardware defect that can't be solved without changing to a new unit.. =(
Batery is probably at the same location.
If thats the case i be worried, sony has bad reputation when it comes to batery's if they become hot verry rapidly they can explode.
Sony vaio team is the one that made this tablet and the xperia tablet s.
my batery is in top near camera can become warm, i defiantly put my tablet upside down next time it becomes warm to see if i can re produce this, if thats the case others probably have same issue also.

I have the Same Problem. I can't use it anymore.
Still waiting A Response from sony support.
Any clue how To Solve this?
Even with full batery, the tablet is crazy.
-bump- the problem returned... anyone else experiences the same thing?
Still present after JB update. This time though, it is more aggressive than before.. :S
Sent from my Xperia Z
anyone tried sending it back to sony or has found some answers to this annoying presses?
I have had Mine to service at Sony Center twice. They replaced The mainboard both times and The screen The second time. Definately not hardware related.. Will send it back a third time tomorrow and Ask for a refund. Will be cheaper for Sony, as the mainboard probably costs almost as much as The device it self..

You go search to internet and search for the previous OTA firmware of STS (Sony Tablet S)... for examples 4.0.3 Release 1a (signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002).
- Download it (in zip file)
- put it into your sd card (in zip file)
- switch off your STS
- switch it back on while holding button 'ON' and Volume + button (hold together)
- Once the Sony logo appear, release the button 'ON' but not the volume +
- Once the blue screen appear with menus then release the volume + button
- Choose 'Update via sd card' ( scroll with volume - & select by pushing 'ON' button )
- Once choose then wait until it reboot.
- tadaaaa...finish...you are now downgrade from 4.0.3 Release 5a...and the screen touch by itself will no longer appear.
pssst : STS will ask for update to 4.0.3 Release 5a..... i don't think you would since previously we having the issue.
Good day.

my girlfriends heros touch screen has stoped responding for instance if i press menu i can press scenes but while im in scenes and select a new one i cant press done i have to use the scroll ball... anyone had anything like this??
any help greatly appreciated
thanks
It happened to mine, the only thing you can do is send it back. It sucks but the screen is faulty.
Send her round with it........... I'll see if I can help
Seriously though, buggered screen I'm afraid..
Had the same problem. Sent it in for a repair and got it back in 10 days.
I've got the same problem!!! I used to say that it was the best phone I've ever used but my mind is changed! :S
Same problem here. I can type with the top and middle of the screen, but the bottom is less responsive/sometimes non-responsive, and backspace doesn't work. Dave Hagenaars: Did you have to pay for the repair?
Aslong as it's under warranty HTC will repair it for nothing. It seems it's a fairly common fault. It come's back with a sticker asking you not to leave the phone in your pocket whilst sat down. Bless them.

same problem here, i need put it back everything to stock before going to t-mobile shop. did u go to t-mobile shop or u just called them? thanks in advance
My touchscreen works fine when holding it upright, but when the phone is laying down it gets really unresponsive. Anyone else having this issue?
Since it works sometimes, I'm guessing it must be software issue...
Hey,
Sometimes my HTC Hero acts weird.
Sense starts to jump between 2 screens (as if I'm constantly giving it input) when I'm doing nothing.
Also sometimes a press anywhere on the screen makes the phone think I'm pressing something at the bottom.
And last but not least, sometimes when I try to type something I lose the function of both the bottom left and right part of the screen, meaning I can't use backspace, the L, P, A and other various keys that reside there.
Does anyone also have these problems?
Is this hardware related or can I hope that this problem is solved with the 2.0/2.1 update?
Mine does the same
It happens to me as well, and i bought it abroad so no repair for me
Also - mine does the CRAZIEST thing - i can move the screen without touching it!! This is crazy - i just hover the finger above it and i can move the desktop left to right ("feature" only available when teh screen starts to jerk around)
I have no idea what to do - it drives me crazy - all my presses are wrong, and some dont work at all!!
I have figured a "way" to make it normal for a while, i just press the end key to close the screen and then turn it on again and it kinda, kinda, works again.
anybody there knows whats is the fault? if its software or hardware?, anyway i sent mine for repair and still waiting.
It's a hardware issue, no doubt. I have experienced all the issues described in the last 3-4 posts. Will have to send it in for repair after christmas - but I'll probably have to get back to the original firmware first.

well i took off the screen protector, and still pretty the same issue. anyway but now atleast it's under repair. so waiting for the phone i hope to get it before xmas.
I have a dead spot around the O and L key when typing messages in the landscape position.
Should I back-up my phone and remove all private data when getting it repaired?
had a sticker - same thing
i removed mine as well - and same thing.
talked to HTC - but they dont have a repair place in Israel - so i will have to send it abroad to the UK maybe for repair.
I still dont understand - if this is a hardware issue - how does it fix it for a short while when i press the "end" key, and re-open the phone.
if the hardware was defective it should always happen and wont be "fixed" for a short while.
Same problem, dont believe it is hardware
Got the same problem when i update to another rom LOX or Hikari.
Wiping and going back to Modaco 3.0 and everything is perfect again. Have the feeling that it has also something to do with the radio images
Maybe also something to do in which order the roms and radio's are updated. Still testing but got the same problem. Reverting back to my modaco 3.0 nandroid and everything works again.
For me this is the stable version where the bottom line works:
Firmware: 1.5
Radio: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel:2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.9

I have a similiar problem on my Hero. Did you find a solution to it?
What's weird is that it isn't constant. It comes and goes.
But when flashing the cya mod with 2.1 my phone was stuck on the enter sim card code screen.. Could not press OK to continue.
Did anybody here experience on SK17i that when you install an APK coming from say, a file explorer or even the "Application Installer", then you click on the program you want to install, you can't click the "Install" button?
I mean you can click it but it won't register. And there's nothing you can do about it, unless power cycle the phone, and randomly experience the issue again.
I am pretty sure that this is not a hardware problem as the touch screen works everywhere, only in Installation this problem comes up.
I noticed this on the stock .335 firmware, and now that I flashed the .368 I thought it was fixed, still there sometimes, randomly.
But when it works (immediately after a power cycle), it works just as normal.
Installations coming directly from Android Market does not have this problem.
I don't install/uninstall apps regularly so its not much of a big deal but I really find this strange. As I am not fond of doing reboots and waiting for phone to start up just to find out it has that issue again, what I do is just install using "adb install" when connected to my laptop.
Any similar experience, and how is this resolved?
i was .335 now .368 but i don't have this issue sorry.
I'm curious when you say reboot do you turn off the phone completely or you have an app.
in the market Fast Reboot closes all app but keeps phone still on. maybe that can help in some strange way instead of turning off the phone, if thats what you mean.
thanks for the response. like i said its rare i encounter this, but at some random instance it happens. if i had no choice i power cycle the phone (sorry i mentioned reboot in the 1st post), but it is power cycle. i know the "Fast Reboot" application, but what that does is just kill all apps, not really reboot
btw, a program that really reboots the phone on one click is "Reboot Control Widget", which I have installed (rarely used though) and it needs root.
Same issues have happened here randomly. I am running the .368 firmware with google market automatically updated to the newer version (the windows phone 7 like).
Nope. Didn't have this problem
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Could that be because the installation file is corrupted or invalid?
^ Not so, because after a power cycle, its almost 95% the error disappears and you can install it normally. Strange huh...
I have this issue sometime,which the version is 4.0.A.2.364
and will try the 2 'reboot' app mention in this post,thanks.
2 days ago my phone totally lost responsiveness of touch screen. As in touch screen dead. I'm sending it back today for seller to replace. Good thing I bought a cheap arc yesterday.
What's evident here now, is this issue could be telltale signs that eventually the touch screen will die so arrange for backup and warranty.

Just an update on this matter.
It seems the app "Screen Filter" which helps reduce the brightness contributes as one of the cause or maybe the main cause of this issue. I happened to observe it on Xperia Arc on rare occassions. When I turn off the app, Install clicking works afterwards.
my Sony xperia z ultra goes berserk and haywire quite often........I guess the software is quite unstable ... Sometimes after opening the home page the phone strangely starts operating on its own.. The pages gets changing, sometimes the contacts gets clicked, phone calls get activated...once my phone was lying ideal and after i got a missed phone the phone automaticaly started went on a dial mode dialing the phone number from my call logs
Today suddenly the wifi got activated, the home page got rotating and kept changing....I mean the phone is lying in front of me and i am not even touching the phone and everything is happening on its own the phone going berserk......
Help .. has anybody else going through this same problem........
Today while i was browsing the twitter ...suddenly my twitter went overactive ...automatically getting clicked on send tweet tab and sending blank tweets....
Godd..........is it a ghostttttttttttt.... i am lost and pulling my hair.. never seen a phone behave like this in my 20 years of having a moble phone with me...
Note: If you initiate this process, you will lose all the data stored in your phone’s memory. All settings within the apps will be lost. You will only retain the data on your card; like your music, photos and videos.
1. From your Home screen, select ‘Apps’
2. Select ‘Settings’
3. Tap ‘Backup & Reset’
4. Now, hit ‘Factory Data Reset’
5. Tap ‘Reset Phone’
6. Then hit ‘Erase Everything’
Once this process is completed, your Sony Xperia Z Ultra will reboot itself. That’s it, most smartphones abnormities are solved by simply performing a hard rest.
Model?
Firmware build please?
-Latest is 14.1.B.1.526. (if your is lower, update it)
-Download Sony update service
-Follow instruction.
its firmware ending with 510 .. no we havent got the new update of 526 in our country.... as jutley said will try doing a hard reset.. hope it works..
Even with the latest firm the phone its far away from the stability in the 475 firm. In my case it must be with the backlight optimization on if not acts funny (not only for the booting...)

Dirty screen? have it if i touch my screen with water on my hands or flour. It stick to the protection and do like if I was touching the screen again and again until I clean it ^^
If I have to pick which Z Ultra C6802 firmware is the most stable, I will definitely go for the .475 firmware, without any doubt.
In all honesty, with the latest firmware updates, it feels more like a downgrade to me. With Optimised backlight always on, the colors of the display looks dull & faded.
If you untick Optimised backlight & restart your phone, then it will go haywire to the point that you wish you've never purchase it in the first place.
Sony has taken a step forward & 2 steps back with their latest firmware updates - Tell me What's the point of rolling out enhancements & new updates, at the expense of firmware stability?

There must be dirt or water in the screen due to sweaty hands on you r screen causing this. I had the same pribelm. Lock the phone and wipe the screen with a neat cloth or paper. It will be gone.

Tried everything damn thing you all guys asked me do.. even resetting it twice... nothing seems to work...... finally called the sony service center guys... well they admitted its a software issue and needs to be updated and quite strangely its a an update which they claim can be done only in the serivce center and not in my home thru pc companion nor over the air thru from my mobile....
Its sound quite strange to me and hearing for the first time about a software update which sony service center provides exclusively provides and which is no available to the end user..
Anyways i am quite exacerbated by the whole thing and finally decided to go back to my note 2 which i have still retained..
Sorry Xperia guys ...do u have think i have made a mistake by changing over to z ultra from note 2 .. or its a just a one of thing.... which should get settled by this sony service center upgrade...

This is your bad luck. I never had any problems with Zu, now I,m on third firmware, I have changed the country code, rooted etc. And never had any problems with the phone. Maybe your problem is deeper than o simple firmware install, that is why they asked to send the phone to service. I guess it's just bad luck

Because it's already perfect.
Nah, i don't know. Maybe the updates are location based, i.e the models that got sold in Asia have some problems, and Sony is trying to fix them, and the "western" versions are from a newer batch and don't have these problems. Maybe Sony noticed something funky from the first batch, but then it was too late, so they went like "**** **** ****! Execute them updates!", and meanwhile in peaceful Europe - nothing. We got the good ones.
This is of course completely wrong and i have no idea what i'm talking about, but it could be. Could. But i doubt it. Yes. I doubt it. I'll stop now. Soon. OK, now.
usually, Restore factory setting can solve it

Hi..my hp start crazy justnow..so try with reset with secret orange button (inside sim slot) with needle or pin.
Press along 5 second..till or hp was shutdown. Now my phone coming back to normal...
Hi everyone!
This is my first post unfortunately, I'll try to keep things short and clear. I'm in pretty deep $#&@.
My Prime:
-4.1.1
-WW sku
-firmware 10.4.2.18
I was happy with it for two years I have never touched it other than updating it from HC all the way to JB. Two years later out of nowhere the screen gets garbled the tablet started to give screaming sounds through the speaker at max volume and then it went dark. I couldn't switch it on only after a whole night on the charger although it had enough juice on it. Since then every time I boot it it tries to install an OTA camera firmware update, but it fails each time, it gives the exclamation mark once in android, same result.
Issues after the incident:
- SD card slot not working,
- USB port not working,
- whenever the tablet has to make sound through speakers the screaming goes on until I shut it down or it goes dark by itself,
- the tablet recognises false power and volume button presses only in android in the recovery they work fine,
- sound through any type of external speaker, headphone earphone works, but occasionnally there is noise in the background
- the camera firmware is completely missing, upon opening the app it says it can't work without the firmware and asks me kindly to update it (in the about tablet the firmware version is X-ed out)
- if I close the tablet with the dock, it can't be unlocked again, it must be rebooted in oder to use it
- te tablet doesn't get recognised by my and any other PCs although it charges fine (that was an old issue i bought another cable with the same result)
- varoius little bugs, wifi switching on and off, gps weakness, notification bar not opening
What works:
- microSD card slot (i have a fat32 formatted microSD with 4GBs of storage)
- keyboard with all keys
- touchscreen
- all apps & games
How I tried to solve the problem:
I factory reset it about 4 times since without success obviously. The device is no longer under warranty so I unlocked its bootloader with the ASUS tool. It worked fine. I can't achieve root however because of the connectivity issue, Framaroot says my device isn't vulnerable. I tried to update the firmware through my microSD card, but the exclamation mark doesn't appear even after a reboot or hard reset (maybe because I had the latest already installed). There is no RMA in my country, and the fee of the service and the transport all the way to and back from the Czech Republic is way too high for me to pay.
So here I am with a more or less functional Prime robbed of nearly all the features, helpless and not knowing what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, although I really do think that it is beyond saving.
Cheers,
Peter from Hungary

Yes, the stock recovery works perfectly if that's what you ask!
IS there a slight chance of making it work again?
Hey all,
My gf has an M4 Aqua.
She has never done anything with it.
No root, no custom roms etc.
Suddenly today phone shut down, Sony logo appeared, blue booting waves and then just pure blue screen.
She did the Software Recovery via Xperia Companion.
It booted normally, she set up everything (although she said it was running very slowly) and while she was just in the home screen it shut down again and did the same thing.
She clicked the red reset button and it booted fine.
Edit: Shut down and blue screen again.
Edit2: After Software Recovery she is on 6.0.1 now.
Edit3: Even when idle it gives the blue screen after some time.
Any ideas why that is happening, how to fix it permanently?
I've seen posts but people said the Software Recovery helped them which is sadly not working for us.
We just need to wait till next month so she can give this one for proper service check.
Is this a hardware issue? I've never encountered a pure blue screen on Sony before.
Cheers, thanks for any help.
Hello friend, i have an xperia m4 aqua dual, same problem than yours, already used xperia conpanion 3 times trying to solve the problem, the cellphone works like a charm for 10min and the problem gets back again, blue screen if i launch some app like facebook and running slooooow, i have read that this is a hardware failure, but don't know what is the ic failure.
Edit: Now i found the problem, the xperia has 2 module of 1gb of ram on the motherboard, when the phone boots (congrats no blue screen) you can go and see how much RAM it haves, it will just show 883mb of total RAM. so... 1 module of RAM is dead.
Edit²: Saw on the xperia forum that sony is pushing an new update on xperia companion, solved the problem of ram and blue screen for some people, i will give i try later today, can be just a software problem.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply!
Will check RAM and try the Xperia Companion again. Gonna update soonish with the results.
It happens alike, ram, blue screen, and in my case at first had problems with the network signal (it was for a while), and the camera (worked sometimes in or out an error log . So YouTube I found this:
Apparently there is a problem with this smartphone after a period of use, and seeking information on the internet apparently called blue screen of death, and happened to the iPhone 5 and even g3 lg, but in this smartphone presents with different symptoms. Unfortunately in my case it is out of warranty two months ago
By the way the new version of PC Companion commenting here will not let me install it, I get a kernel32.dll error in Windows, but the previous version if you install without problems, someone knows what is due?

Thanks for the vid. Good to know it's kind of popular. My gf gives it to service today so we won't check ram etc. But ye this is a bit of a ****ty phone.
These memory problems, speaker broke now this.
I hope they gonna give her a new one.
Also check a statutory warranty (i think that's how it's called) in your country.
Here in Poland apart from the producers warranty we have a warranty from the seller. (its a law)
If seller sells us a product that breaks (no matter if it's producer fault) they need to repair it or exchange for a working one.
This warranty is valid for 2 years.
i updated my xperia m4 , the problem got worse, can't pass the blue screen now, just a constant boot loop of blue screen, i never want a xperia again --'

Hey all,
My gf has an M4 Aqua.
She has never done anything with it.
No root, no custom roms etc.
Suddenly today phone shut down, Sony logo appeared, blue booting waves and then just pure blue screen.
She did the Software Recovery via Xperia Companion.
It booted normally, she set up everything (although she said it was running very slowly) and while she was just in the home screen it shut down again and did the same thing.
She clicked the red reset button and it booted fine.
Edit: Shut down and blue screen again.
Edit2: After Software Recovery she is on 6.0.1 now.
Edit3: Even when idle it gives the blue screen after some time.

We did it with Xperia Companion which is the same **** as far as I know.
The phone is sent to service, she'll probably get a new one.
Thanks for the tip though!
Had the same blue screen after installing a incompatible xposed module. But i had not that ram problem. It sometimes booted and sometimes reboot at bluescreen. Re-flashed firmware using newest Flashtool (include "wipe Sin, wipe Misc TA") blue screen was gone.

Hey all, i had same problem with my M4 before, blue screen, ram just read 883 mb, suddently restart, n very difficult to turning on.
I get problem after upgrade to marshmallow. I have been tried to reset, flash software, and downgrade, but my M4 still problem.
But now the problem has been solved.
Root cause of problem on my device is bad emmc connection.
I found it when i tried to hit my m4 caused felt angry, but my device be normal.
So i tried resolder the emmc n test.
I don't know what the related problem bad hardware connection with upgrade software, but that's actual root cause the problem on my M4.
Currently i use the last update of android 6 on my M4.
I hope my experience can help you to finish this problem.
explain please
