Hi !
Need some help and some guidance from the members regarding a serious issue with my Xperia Sola
The main issue with my Xperia Sola is that the screen freezes 2 or 3 times a day on various situations like when i am browsing on the internet or just browsing thru menus and or even when i write a text message. A random freeze i can call it! The screen freezes and looks like when you're watching a 3D movie without glasses. it's a bit..i don't know the exact term to decribe it but looks exactly like i said. So, after that it becomes unresponsive and the only thing i can do is to restart the phone using up volume button + start button at the same time! Then, it's coming back to life and...i am waiting for the next **bleep** freeze again!
The phone is upgraded to the latest version of android 4.0 with the Latest available software: 6.1.1.B.1.54. I allready performed an repair thru the pc companion on my pc and also tried SUS but the problem is still there.
I don't know wether is a hardware issue or a software issue!
Any ideeas?
Thank you!
Might be hardware issue.
Does I happen on clean firmware with no apps installed other that come with stock?

Likely the GPU, makes no difference if it's GPU CPU ram or anything else that's on the mainboard they are not going to fix it just replace the mainboard.

holy sh..! i guess that would be expensive, replacing the motherboard and stuff !
i will send it these days to the local sony service if you trust that is 80 % a hardware issue!

Well I'm not an expert, but since it happens after flashing clean firmware as well it seems to be some kind of hardware issue even if it's a loos contact.
Won't be cheap question is how exensive.
See if it's worth you repairing or buy a new phone.

Yeah man, clean software, nothing but the stock firmware on it and keeps on freezing. Some days he's behaving ok. I mean ...what am i saying, not a day goes by without one or two of those freezees! sometimes during a call! :/
Yeah, got the same advice from someone! I'll see if it's worth repairing! I really like this phone
I'll keep you posted ChikeD and thank you so much for reply!

i was just reading the topics about the 0% issue, when my brain suddenly thought of an idea. a lot of people have tried to find out what's the source of this issue. but, unfortunately, all we actually know is that it happens when the phone is being downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2. there has been a countless number of logcat outputs, and whatnot, but nobody has really figured out the root of the issue.
so, what my brain thought about is - have someone with this problem actually looked at what's happening in the bootloader? not the kernel, not the ROM, not the hardware, but bootloader? maybe there's the problem?
i'm not too educated about Android bootloaders, i don't know if that can even happen, and i don't know if the bootloader is user-accessible to rummage through it to look for something, it's just what i thought about. kind of a noob idea actually
hm... i guess nobody really cares?

Sorry to disappoint,but that "idea" of yours is thought of looong ago...
And I can't see what's weird about software damaging hardware?
If you upload bad software onto a chip and now it doesn't communicate with other hardware components the way the main software expects, that chip is pretty much dead.

I got my Titan today and the first thing I noticed was that the touch was a bit slow, nothing to really care about but coming from the iPhone I expected the same "tracking" but it ain't there. Anyone else feeling this?

You on 8107? Did you start out with a Fresh Install? Any apps that might cause this?
Probably Digitizer issue... If you got warranty with AT&T/UK/whoever replace it

Yes 8107, I booted the phone and I had a few updates available so I updated it completely (I don't know what firmware it was from beginning, but definitely Mango at least). I'm not sure what you mean with Fresh install, please elaborate.

Fresh Install as In... A Factory Reset.... Like its better to start out with a clean slate then to start using a phone that was already being used and had some caches/apps loaded onto it...
Its best to ruled out any software issues before blaming Hardware (replacement)
And the digitizer is definitely not faulty.

Basically if its lagging it would be software related... There's a delay from when you do something to when WP7 responses to it... I would suggest backing Up and doing a Factory Reset and see if it makes a difference.
Did you load up the phone with stuff? Supposedly there's an issue with AT&T models that lag when low in memory even if you don't have that model it could be related

It was brand new, never used before so it should have been from scratch already (I had to go through the setup thing and so on)

I got like 15 apps installed but I really don't feel like resetting the phone, I can live with this.

if it's an ATT model, I won't be surprised. Plenty of issues heard in the past with earlier batches too.
Make sure your thumb is not touching the sides as the screen comes so close to the sides that i was touching it and not knowing it, which made it appear to lag or not press numbers to unlock and such. The easy fix for it was to get a hard rubber case which raised my thumbs up so they wouldn't brush the screen edges when typing.

It's not an AT&T model, it's totally unbranded.

I press the screen straight on with my fingers. Anyway, I might just be overreacting here but it definately feels like the touch is a liiiiiittle after, delayed or whatever you wanna call it.

Looking at your video it seems perfectly normal to me, None of my WP7 devices have ever been any better than your Titan, (2xHD7 and a Titan) Maybe it's just a case of getting over your last phone and adapting to the way Windows Phone works, Took me ages after win Mo 6.5
Hi ArtieQ,
I have the same feeling as you : the scroll doesn't follow immediatly the finger, compared to my Omnia 7 or my iPhone. I hope HTC will fix this with an update, but I'm dreaming...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one, because yesterday I was about to send in my Titan for warranty repair but later changed my mind. I really hope this is software related, but I think not.
I was also glad when I saw your post because nobody except you has noticed it. But if you look at any video of the titan, you'll see the problem is always here...

I found this thread as well: http://forums.wpcentral.com/phone-wars/184480.htm
I have both an Omnia 7 and a Titan and one thing i noticed on the Titan is that if I don't hold the phone with one hand and use the other for touch the screen lags and failes to register the finger at times. On the Omnia 7 I don't have this problem. The Titan might be worse either way but it's a huge difference when not holding the phone on my Titan atleast
It's easy to reproduce in some games... I get missed swipes (fruit ninja) or birds that fly when I am still trying to get the perfect angle (angry birds).
I was hoping for a firmware to fix this but didn't know if anyone else have a problem so havent bothered reporting it to HTC. I guess if we don't the wont know it's a problem?
//Mikael P
Its got nothing to do with the OS if someone is wondering that! this is an HTC thing, evry phone from HTC have this, its just thay are not as responsiv as a Samsung phone or an IPhone, just look at HTC phone with Android its the same slow respons. if im not worng, this is an Screen issue, i mean an HTC issue HTC use on there phones.
heres the prob. i can use my phone for a few minutes then the screen stops senceing my souches, in texts , apps , games, the browser all stop working. im runnning the latest version of viperROM, i re-flashed and it went away for a while but came back. if my screen stops responding i just shut the screen off then on for a a second and i regain control for a few more minutes. im running leedroid tweeks and the stock kernel. i was thnking of running the senceless kernel. please some advice, Gary
Maybe try installing the latest firmware updates they are listed in the development section. I had this problem before and my case was the digitizer went out with seems to be common with this phone. Hope it helps
****'ll Buff Out
RE:
yea, im thinking that its a software prob, not hardware only bacause i can make it go away just by turning the screen on and off. im trying the the screen testing app now

Here's the solution I found it works phenomenally, the phones faster less glitchy and has so many improvements with the Ice Cream Sandwich reboot.
ZR3DX ics 2.1 , if this doesn't fix your problem, . it's a digitizer issue, make sure you do a complete wipe and use Titanium Backup

In this case, I would recommend him to reflash a stock ROM instead of custom ROM to check if everything goes well.
Check CPU settings, maybe 1 core is off line when it should be online. Min CPU frequency is set to low or high
Signature (Don't ask me for help, couldn't care less if your phone explodes)

I also recommend using SET CPU it's totally worth the 2 dollars you pay for it., it dynamically changes processing power /voltage going to your cores, it easily doubles your battery life, and you can have manual control if you want. It's really handy when playing hi res movies and games. I use a dock and the mhl adapter to watch stuff on my 42" through a standard hdmi cable. My phone is faster then my laptop (2ghz) .
I love the face lock feature in ics.
The only real con to my suggestion is its a bit like going from windows xp to vista in that gui is different. But once you learn your way around, you'll never know how you got by without it. I went through about 10 roms before I decided on this one. Good luck !
Sir, your problem has nothing to do with apps or firmare. the problem is more than likely a kernel or hardware issue. Test this by flashing a different Rom and or kernel. If problem still persists then you will have to get it serviced.
Most probably digitizer issue
Hi it seems more of a digitizer issue than software one. If in warranty then get it replaced or order it on amazon and use video guide to replace(not that easy, BE CAREFUL)
best of luck. :fingers-crossed:

hello, i have a problem with my xperia u, i cant text properly with it, some times the letter cant be pressed(im using the 3x4 keyboard not the qwerty, but even qwerty keyboard cant be pressed the letter sometimes). my girlfriend experienced it on her xperia u too 2months ago, but its under waranty that time so the service center did repair it successfully. but now my phone's waranty is already expired, we took it too service center too, but they did not succeed on repairing it, they said the touch screen must be replace. i dont want to think this way but i dont believe it because my girlfriend's phone has been repaired with a very similar problem, now i think that they said that to me so they can get more money if i will agree to them to replace the touch screen. does anyone know how to fix this? its different on other not responsive screen problem, i check the service test on touch screen and there is no broken line, its just hard to press sometimes on texting but there is no problem making a line. factory reset and repairing via PCC and SUS is not solving the problem(both on mine and on my girlfriend's phone when she is experiencing the problem) thank you very much in advance to everyone.
If it's a hardware problem no one here can help you fix it.
Lots of touchscreen problems woth U and Sola, I would think Sony should fix them free of charge.

actually i dont think that it is a hardware problem, because like what i've said, my girlfriend's phone experienced the exact problem that im encountering right now, and they fixed it with i dont know what they did but they didnt replace anything, meaning its only a software defect. if i was remembering it right, they are talking about software calibrate or something like that but im not so sure about it. maybe they dont want to fix it with free charge now thats why the saying that it is a hardware problem for me to pay. i really believe someon could help me here, i would be very thankful and im thanking now in advance.
