Dear all,
My Xperia phone is really nice and I have been using it for quite a while. However, something happened to my phone about 3 weeks ago. The right side and bottom of my screen has become totally unresponsive and since then, I really had trouble typing letters like 'p', 'l' and 'm', and also pressing space bar and enter. The bottom of my screen is occassionally okay, and I will sometimes be able to type space bar, comma and fullstop as per normal, but it is only sometimes. I have been putting up with it by tilting my phone whenever I type, but recently, I accidentally set a screen lock(password) and since the 'Done' button was at the bottom right of my phone, I am totally unable to press it at all. I tried tilting it, but it seem that the screen would not orientate at all, not before unlocking it. I used the Xperia phone companion on computer to factory reset my phone. Just as I thought that the problem was over, Xperia guide comes up and prevents me from using my phone. Since the 'next' button is located at the bottom right of my screen again, I am unable to press it at all. I tried tilting but it does not work at all and it seems impossible for me to use my phone now. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.
Its probably a hardware problem you must change the touchscreen by yourself or bring it so service center

Hey, I was just playing with my phone this morning and noticed a strange problem... The top part of my screen, just under the notification bar, does not respond when touched, if an app is running. For example, I cannot hit the location/search/layers button in gmaps, or the search button in market (this is only in portrait mode btw), but on the main screen, it responds just fine. This problem did not exist yesterday either, and I have already tried rebooting, and that did not fix it...
Might want to provide a bit more info if you want help.
I.e. What rom are you using, what kernel, any speedtweaks, etc.
Oops, sorry, it just seemed to fix itself randomly, but I am running CM7 1.2/MR2 radio, no other tweaks, just in case anyone else has the same issue in the future...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Im hoping it was just a fluke for you, but keep an eye on the issue, if it happens more it would sound like you could have a bad digitizer (its what controls the touch screen)
So it happened again today, not sure what set it off, but this time it wasn't just the top part of the screen. Phantom presses would happen, the notification bar would go halfway down and then pop right back up, the 4 buttons on the bottom wouldn't respond... I did a battery pull, and it seems to have fixed it for now, should I be contacting verizon to replace this one? It is a replacement of my original one (which bricked)...
Hi there to everyone, I broke only the glass on my screen couple of weeks ago (it felt face down from about half a meter, thats stupid) and I change only the glass my self but since then i have a problem with the screen like: if I press a bit harder anywhere on the screen for about 2 sec the screen became irresponsible and also the back and menu buttons, home and power button work normal. If I press the home button it react as it should, it goes to home screen, so it's just the screen frozen on touch and I have to lock and unlock the phone to go to normal. On daily use it's not such a big problem as i don't press the screen too hard, the problem mostly occurs when playing games.
I would try a hard reset but I not rooted as I use some apps that don't work if I'm rooted and I can't save all my settings, saves and apps and personally I hate to reinstall everything back again.
I'm thinking this is a hardware problem but why it goes to normal only after lock/unlock procedure and i also find on a forum that this can be from the screen protector. It's something similar with the phone in this video the difference being that mine it freezing and that it moving by itself. youtube.com/watch?v=isBDKgxB5vs
Did anyone also experience this?
PS. I sorry for my english as it's not my own language but I'm trying to make my self clear as best as i can, Thank you
This is happening on an HTC Desire Z (A7272) with Android 2.3.3. A few days ago I was unable to input the pattern to unlock my phone. It wasn’t that I was putting in the wrong code or anything. The problem is as my finger slides over the pattern “buttons” the bottom three buttons don’t register. It is not that the bottom portion of the touchscreen is dead. It shows a green line connecting to the tip of my finger through the button. It just won’t turn the button green (or red for that matter).
I performed a complete factory reset today. It didn’t fix the problem. The only way for me to unlock it is to slide the keyboard out and have the pattern screen turn sideways. It then allows me to input the pattern. I took a photo of what is happening and attached it to this post. It shows that my finger has slid from the top center button, through the center button and over the bottom button. You can see the green line there, but the button itself doesn’t register it. I have also recalibrated the touchscreen after the factory reset. I’m out of ideas. There was no obvious cause of damage or anything (like dropping it). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dear friends, see this, see in the youtube:

I activated the phone in their own settings of android to show screen touches and strokes that you can see in the video above, and installed YAMTT app to better show the problem.
The Problem on mobile touch in the middle of the screen there is a track that is not recognized touch, but if I press the screen sinking, she returns to work temporarily, and now recognizes the touch - but after a few minutes the problem back and touch is not recognized again.
The screen is perhaps dished up, and when I press down her back to be in contact with the part of the cell that recognizes the touch, but with time the screen should be getting back dished up (this is my guess, not i'm sure).
Detail, not always when I press is running, sometimes I press the screen to the center of the touch again be recognized, but it seems that the phone is registering touches alone.
What would be a solution, and change the screen (it does not mean that changing the screen the problem solved), want to try other alternatives before changing the screen.
Perhaps heating up the screen with hot air, in theory it will expand and become more pliable, and then if I press down the center panel of the phone with something for a while until it cools, in theory the screen would remain indefinitely, and if that is the problem could solve -
Anyone have any thoughts, has been there?
Thanks in advanced!
Hi all, i received my Verizon Galaxy Edge on friday and the phone is perfect, but i'm having a issue. I've looked everywhere to see if others are having the same issue as me but nothing, zip, nada.
The issue im having is with the touch screen, lets just say i'm texting, i normally keep my left thumb near the volume down button, kinda touching the edge screen but not really much, well im texting and sometimes i dont have to be pressing the keyboard, but its the issue with the left edge screen, it's making it press in the center where my thumb would be. i've turned on to show my input presses and all that and its confirmed the center of the screen touch input when i'm only touching the edge. any help or issues? does this sound more of a hardware defect or a software defect?
This is weird. I'm kinda having the same problem, but not "frequently". I wonder if other people do. I think it has to do with our palm/fingers accidentally for a short period of time so it registers as a touch, then if you were already touching somewhere else then it'd mess up and register the touch in a random place, but I'm not sure. For me it isn't in the centre but it's annoying when it happens.
Well its not all the time dead center, but yeah its annoying. We might have same issue
an update, today i was typing on facebook and i noticed my right thumb was kind of near the L key but it was recognizing presses with my other hand without touching the screen (heat presses) tried to get the video but it went back to normal 5 seconds after the video, will record when it happens again.
