I got the update through PC companion in UK. Connected to PC Companion and immediately update popped up. However, with 4.2.2 I saw 2 major problems. One, the "back" button ( of the back, home, history group) is on the middle now instead of on the side making it difficult to go back with one finger while holding the tablet. Secondly in the drop down panel at the top, the Wifi connection name is visible only when the notification panel has only one line displayed. 2 lines, and the wifi name is cutoff in half, 3 or more it is not displayed at all. I am unable to take a screenshot to show this as when I hit the power button for screenshot, the dropdown panel disappears. Has anyone noticed this issue ?
I have a UK SGP 311 . I have a photo of the problem ( taken using a camera)

Bump !!!
No response so far.. Not sure if I am the only one with this problem. If so does someone know how to fix it ?
This only seems to happen in landscape mode, is that correct?
On my drop down, I have my AF notice, then for example, an update app install notice, then the wifi name, and the wifi is cut off horizontally. Not really an issue for my, and seems to be an oversight with Sony, hopefully they'll fix it.....
I don't see why they are three thin vertical lines underneath the wifi name except to act as a highlight that is not needed.

Yes that seems so. I mostly use the tablet in landscape mode, in fact I hardly ever use portrait mode. It is not so much of a "big issue" but having paid such a high price for what is described as one of the best tablet of its time- I believe it too btw-, I would expect a bit more "correctness" in the display.

Phone works and everything but the touch screen is not responsive.
Does anyone know how to call up the "Start" menu just using the keyboard?
or
How to press "Send" using just the keyboard for SMS msg?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure that it is possible. this has happened twice to me* (see below) and those were the only 2 things that I could not do. you can go to the program tab to the far right and start any programs you may still be able to use...
*I've had this happen to 2 of my touch pros...What I was told by a rep was there is a small plastic tab on the back of your screen. If you look on your phone where the volume buttons are...opposite side. That small plastic tab should be removed because this rubs against some connector inside the phone that causes the touch screen to die. soooo long story short you'll need to take it in and get it replaced
Sort of the same issue:
I've got a stock ROM, PhoneAlarm (latest beta) and a few other applications installed on this device, only recently has it caused me as much of a hassle as it has. I get a phone call and no matter if I press the softkey "Answer" button or the answer button on the bottom left below the jogdial, NOTHING picks up a call. Sometimes if I stab at it wildly enough it answers and immediately places a call within a call which means I can't get back to the original one i answered. It's frustrating and really annoying.
@sanjsrik - I'm having the same issue.
Using a Sprint issued TouchPro. Along with the 'Answer' issues, I'm also having problems with the screen jogging around. When I go into applications or the phone keypad, the screen is skewed, however if I touch the screen (in the correct spot), the correct command happens. For example, if my keypad screen is skewed (which only happens sporadically), it shows the '7' where the '9' should be and if I touch the screen there, the '9' correctly apprears. I plan to take the phone to Sprint either tomorrow or next and hopefully will have a clearer verdict.

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...

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)...
I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
This phone has never been modified, no custom ROMS, never rooted, using the latest OS from AT&T ...
And today, for whatever reason, when making originating a phone call, and once I've hit "dial" ... the phone screen goes completely black except for the status bar at the top (the one you can swipe down). I'm saying that whereas usually, after hitting "dial" and as the phone dials, you can actually see a screen full of information (hang up botton, number/name of who your dialing, etc.) ... in this case and now, there is just a black screen.
Though there is a black screen (other than the status bar at top), I can still hear the phone ring and even have a conversation should somebody answer. But when the call is over (the person on the other end has to end the connection because I have no screen interface to do such), the screen remains blank (other than the status bar at top) and none of the bottom, permanent keys are operative either ("home" / "back" / settings / etc.). To get back to the home screen, I have to pop the battery and re insert it and re start the phone. But even then, it's acting weird: when booting, at the "Reimagine Possilbe" screen (I think that's what it says) it hangs there for about 45 seconds (usually only about 5 when functioning correctly) and will eventually end up at the home screen.
But if I originate a call, the cycle repeats.
I've completely reset the phone to factory defaults at least three times, formatted the USB storage and the whole nine yards but it remains glitched as described above.
...
So... has anyone seen/heard of this?
I'm thinking of just warrantying the phone as it's only about 5 months and I figure AT&T should have no issue as it's such a replicable problem and it certainly doesn't seem to be software related as it's completely stock and multiple factory resets have not worked but wanted to put a line out here first to see if anyone else has experienced this.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Best,
Joel.
I think the network is fugazi right now, as I had issues with the phone, and read about another user having same troubles. I'd give it a little time.

I sure hope so. Even though I've reset the phone (which sucks) ... I'd prefer that over having to go to the store and all...
Odd that a network problem could cause such, though ....
Thanks for the word ...

Just a llittle update ...
I changed the "Proximity Sensor" to OFF and now the normal iin-call screen appears but it never goes away, which can be problematic.
In general, I've always had the proximity sensor set to ON as this allows the in-call screen to blank after a few seconds (complete blank with no status bar at top) and then reappear when I remove the phone from my ear.
But when I re enable the proximity sensor, now ... the screen blanks immediately (excepting the status bar at the top) and never comes back ... even after my call recipient ends the call ...
I'm just gonna warranty at at the local service center; at this point (two days now with all my friends AT&T phones working fine) I'm pretty sure something is glitched with the internal sensor that manages the proximity settings ...
Thank God for warranty.
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
