Hello, I want your help to fix my xperia go touchscreen problem. Well, Ive searched the similar problem on the forum but what I found is about "touchscreen not working" only.. was, it's very easy to text and slide trough the screens without any "not so responsive screen".. after few months my xgo became less sensitive like before, when I tried to type as fast as usual. The screen cant detect my touch.. I compared with my friend's xgo and it is easier to text on his xgo.. its because I flashed wrong rom? I flashed one roms so far (superJB and currently back on stock with phantom 1.0.9 kernel) thanks.
Xgo .100 JB with UBL.
Open your device's build.prop using any text editor and check
ro.sf.lcd_density=??
Compare its value with your friend's xperia go and edit it accordingly. After you've done with editing, restart your device.
Check screenshot in the attachment.
Note: Do not put value similar to that of screenshot. It is just for your reference.
If I helped you then press Thank you.

My Xperia Go has the exact same problem recently. It just started happening a few days ago and nothing has changed on the device (software etc). I used to be able to text VERY fast but now it sometimes takes a few pushes of the keys for the device to recognise my touch. I can't believe it is anything in the build.prop as this would have suddenly changed right? MY LCD density there is set to 160 (which is the same as default).
Any help appreciated...
EDIT - I also noticed that since my touchscreen has become un-responsive I had got battery drain issues. The last 2 nights I have gone to sleep and when I have woken up my battery is almost dead... hmmm

I have same problems with my xperia go .it became unresponsive ..
i didnt drop it just became like that .
I get this issue too since i accidently drop it. But when i try to testing games and the phone getting heat up and now its more sensitive than before. Maybe not as sensitive as back there at GB but its better now. Almost as sensitive as when i try using JB at 1st time i think.
Oh yeah.. i even already try to open it before to check if the connector are losen or something like that with no result. And already prepare to changing my touchscreen but i think its not necesary now. Hope this help

Nice... because i am planning to replace my digitizer by my self too when i got my digitizer spare . Just need to know what the other things i would need to change it perfectly (Make sure my XGO still have water resistant capability). Sooo... i would appreciate if u could reporting back when you done it .
Same problem.. My phone is not sensitive as usual.. When typing and gaming, it is really annoying.. :'(
How much is the digitizer for Xperia U?
I didn't do nothing and the phone just became not sensitive to touch.. Sliding is good but when I press 3 times to screen.. Only 2 times approx is known to touch..
Help me out ? Only way is change digitizer?
Just make sure u didnt get touchscreen issue from lag. I use custom rom and the touchscreen is feel better, but some area still hard to use because mine is defect already. U could try search on google for ur digitizer price .

Hi I was wondering if anyone has the same problem as i am having right know.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini pro White SK17I. It was working well untill when i tried to press the back button. I had to wait for so long to get a response from the back button. I tried the same thing with the menu button (Not the physical hone key) it still had the delay. The delay is about 5-10 seconds. Sometimes, you have to wait extremely long or you have to press it again. sometimes it runs normally. But rarely it does work as normally should. I only had the phone for 2 weeks. I was wondering if i can exchange it since i have a 12 Month warranty. thats all the problem I'm having right now
thank you
Me too but not always i discovered that it depends on memory usage.

me too..need to press harder..but not usually like that..most of the time, it works normally.
same here..just to make a point, did you have the noise problem as well?
I have the same problem. I think has to do something with the temperature/humity. If its warm outside and i have sweat on my fingers its happens, when its cold and dry everything works fine. I tested with /dev/event/input and with wet fingers it does not even trigger any events.

I got this problem right after installing NFS Shift. Now the back key often doesn't work and the Options key is unresponsive.
It is a known issue related with temperature, affecting more and more people every day (including me). SE is not responding, but seems a design problem:

You'll be surprised, but I do not have such problems

I rebooted, but the problem is still there.
my back key is okay, only menu key is unresponsive at all. i think this is because of hardware problem.
i bought it 1 day ago, though. gonna bring my phone to SE service center tomorrow.
Guys I fixed my problem. This guy on facebook had the same problem as I did. He fixed his and so did I. The reason it lags isnt because of the memory usage. Its some other reasons that I dont remember. Anyway, if you guys still need to fix yours, heres how. First you got to have cottons and a screen protector. The Sony one that you get from the box works. You have to apple one TINY drop of soap onto the cotton then wipe it over your display. Make sure you clean the buttons cause thats the priority. Make sure you cover the top bits. After you done that. Get your clean cotton and wipe it to get the soap out. DONT USE WATER. After thats done, make sure there is no string of cotton left in your screen. After you checked, apply the screen protector then its done. I just did mine today and its going well so far. Trust me guys this isnt a trap to break your phone or anything. I trusted this guy that told me the steps and it worked. What I am trying to say is just give it a go. If you did it like I did, I think you should be fine. I love my xperia again hope it works for you guys

I have no back button issues so far. I once had it slowing down but that was related to an application hanging so low memory might be related.
No problems here so far, but it seems like german phones don't have problems at all. Ive been checking amazon ratings all day long but no1 ever mentions problems with the button
Well some people have the problem. I just wanna help them.

Yea thats nice My guess is, some countries get worse quality phones :/
As far i have the phone the back and menu keys work very fine for me, in fact they are very sensitive... and works fast
I had no problems until the update to Android 2.3.4.
Now I can't even play a game for 10 minutes and it presses the back button a lot.
It looks like it can be related to the firmware.
-----------------
I've seen on another site that other people also are facing more heating after update to 2.3.4. Well, since overheating is related to the issue, it may be possible that it is causing the back button issue for me.
Its Due to Memory Blocks aswell
The Problem is mainly due to too much of moisture in your hands...
to get rid of the problem, wipe off your hand of all moisture, and clean your cellphone screen and the buttons with a soft cloth.
And also remember to clean the used memory. usually its both the problems occurring at the same time, due tio which it seems no to be working..
hope it helps
I've had this problem too and I found out that the cause is the sweat from my hands.

I beg to differ, but my German Mini Pro does have the back-button-issue!
Don't know if it's due to sweaty fingers, I'll try one of these capacitive pens some day.
But I can say, as soon as I plug in the power cord, the button is working again.
Has anyone notice the L button doesn't work every time you press it? I called verizon they said it's a known issue. my white n2 worked perfect. Now the grey one has that problem.. Press on the L key real fast and u will see what I mean . it doesn't register every time. I don't have to do it real fast for it not to work on mine.

So this is a wierd situation for me. My old Thunderbolt had this exact same problem, certain keys would not register most of the time, and I'm pretty darn sure L was one of them. When I downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en and tried pressing on the screen where my L key generally is, I could see what was going on. Something was wrong with the digitizer or how the software was interpreting the input.
Now this is where I got scared. You are not the first person to talk about this problem with the Note 2, and when I tried it after reading the first post a few weeks ago, I too was having the problem. It was about in the same spot as the L key. And sure enough when I opened up the touch visible app and checked that spot there was something wrong. There was like a dead spot in the shape of a circle in that area. Now I don't know what happened to it, but that was on stock unrooted. Once I unlocked and installed Jelly'Beans' the problem went away and I haven't had it since... knock on wood.
If it's software then whatever, software can be fixed easily. Hardware though.... ugh I do not want to replace this thing.
Hmmm I hope I dont have this problem, that exact thing happened on my thunderbolt also and drove me nuts it just started one day always had to use in landscape thats why I got the note 2...hopefully its just some sorta software issue

Actually I thought I messed up the first one, there was dust under it and I took it back off by prying instead of taking the phone apart. It also worked if I rotated the phone 180 degrees

I noticed the same thing with my Thunderbolt. If I put the phone in landscape those dead spots worked just fine using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en to see if the screen was registering. This lead me to believe it was a software issue, and it unfortunately was never resolved.
Thankfully though I am not on the Note 2 and am not experiencing and screen dead spots, yet (knock on wood)

Just out of curiosity...are any of you using the Otterbox Defender? I have the dysfunctional 'L' key, and I think it's because the screen protector built into the case is raised at the edge of the screen. When I take it out of the case, I never get the 'L' key problem. Oh, and also the backspace key as you've noted. LOL I'm just glad I'm not alone.
Hey could someone help me diagnose whats going on with my Galaxy Tab 10.1?
I haven't used it in a few days. I knew it was dead. So I went to charge it. It turned on
and the screen is showing crazy ****ed up lines and flickering. I cannot get to recovery or download mode.
My wife says its this "Carbon Rom" that I installed. I say bull****. If it was, I would be able to at least see recovery mode.
To me it seems the video card or screen, whatever produced the picture got screwed up. Please take a look at the pic and let me know what you think. Can this be fixed? Whats the cost? Is this something I can fix or do I need to go to a repair shop?
Is there a warranty on these things? Its a year old. If I send it to Samsung, will they be able to tell a custom rom was flashed which will void the warranty? Im guessing so... Someone please help im sad
The picture is attached.
Thanks for any help. Appreciated

Its been sitting for 5 minutes now and I went to turn on and it shows a White screen now.
This seems like definite damage. The only things I could think it would be is last Saturday I was sitting by the pool reading
and I cover it back up with my flip case, had it sitting on the chair while I was swimming. It was fine after that though.
Last time I used it, it was Tuesday and it was fine. The only other thing is if my daughter got a hold of it... But there's no way to tell
either way if these were the cause. Any thoughts?
I remember someone posting a topic with the same issue like a yezr zgo or so, i can't find this topic anymore, the problem was with the screen or the cable of your screen, i think he had to replace his LCD screen

Seems in my opinion that you have a screen fault. Maybe it was caused by you without your knowledge or it is a manufacturing defect. It us really hard to say but a screen replacement should fix the problem.

Thank you for your reply.
So you think its the screen, same here. But im doing some you tubing and see that the screen is pretty much just a piece of clear cover that
goes over the lcd screen. I will need a new lcd screen, correct? Is it worth taking apart and checking the cables?
Theres no cracks or damage to the physical screen so it has to be internal.
If anyone can find a link, please let me know. Thanks for your help!
What do you think it would cost to fix at a repair shop? and / or samsung vs. joe blows repair shop?

So it looks like a small part of the top of my screen is dead, already tried everything and no luck, The draw line test shows about a 10% of the screen not working. I think this might be a hardware problem, but not sure.
If its the hardware, is it possible to only replace the Digitizer glass, without replacing the LCD screen?
Where can I buy the part (hopefully Original, I read that third party replacements are usually disappointing, because of quality.)? I tried searching in ebay and amazon and was only able to find for the HTC one X not the plus version.
Is it too hard to replace or i'm better saving for a new phone?
Do you mean the area where the status bar is? My HOX+ also doesn't recognize touches there. It happened suddenly 5 months ago when I was playing games . However, I used to it and it is not a big problem, I will give it to repair when I get on vacation .
I already made some researches on the internet and it is not an uncommon problem for touch screens. Yes, it is the digitizer's fault.

Exactly the same problem, upper part of the screen (all notification bar). I have an OCD and this tiny things bug me a lot. I guess now I need to find a digitizer to replace it, the problem is that on ebay and other sites there are not HOX+ available, all are for the HOX.
Is there any difference between HOX and HOX+ digitizers? I thought both got the same screen.
I'm not an expert so I won't fix it on my own, better send it back to service .
Btw. I've read one time that you can put a piece of paper between the bezel and grill to clean some mess up which could get inside the phone. I was wondered that I was able to slip the paper there, but it didn't work .

yes it will work, but you can't only change the digitizer, it's too hard glued together. I broke my LCD connector while replacing the screen although
I was really careful, so it's not as easy as everyone says.

At this phone you can change only the digitizer or digitizer with lcd i reccomend this one. The digitizer for this phone is glued on lcd.
At my wife phone appeared some shadows on screen when she droped the device on watter.
I opened the phone(bye bye warranty, chinese waranty) and dried the phone. Shadows are gone now.

i think they must be video(not picture) because the lcd is fine. flawless. the problem is about the touches. i dont touch it but it act like i touched it. do you understand the situation? i didnt do anything but it( the lcd) act like i touched it. i dropped the phone few times but nothing happen. until one day, the phantom touch suddenly occur. the touchscreen is quite ok for now. it acts normally since last night. before that i let the battery drained out and recharge until half of the capacity. so what do you think?
