Everyone who own a Z2 plz READ! - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
The main reason i sold my Z1 was because he has a lot of issues.
but the biggest issue was the touch screen problem.
bassicaly it was stop reconize the touch and it was creates sord of stops on the screen. (will upload a video later for an example),
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNV_jat9Z5Y
So i afraid that the Z2 will suffer from this issue too, i decided to open this thread for testing.
if someone on this forum have a model in his house, plz do the following test to see if the problem persist.
1. put the device on a flat surface like a table, naked without any case.
2. Open any sketch app. like drawer.
3. leave the app open on the surface for atleast 30 seconds.(if the screen goes off u can change the "screen on time" in Settings -> Display.)
4. after that draw a line, if the problem persist u will see it.
if someone can film the test when he does it will be even better and highly appriciated.
Thx guys

Yes, I got my Z1 with that same issue covered by warranty. They tried fixing it 4 times and I was patient for about 2 months because I really wanted to keep it. Finally I got fed up and returned it for a full refund under warranty - just didn't want to go through that again.

No problem mate, cuz it was a big issue on the z1 section i tought the z2 maybe suffer from this too. speacially when some z1 compact users report they experiencing this problem too.
So again friends, if someone has a prototype or a model plz do this test asap

---

I have the Z1 and never had this issue. I know it exists from the thread in the Z1 forum, just pointing out that not everyone suffered from this. That being said, it's a horrible problem to have and if I did have it on the Z1 I would never be getting the Z2.

---

I had Z1 & suffered from the same issue.I only preferred Z1 coz it can be rooted without loosing warranty.Also I think if z2 users face above issue they might also face screen not responding after playing games like dead trigger 2 for half an hour.Not to mention the yellow hue on screen

Trust me you will love this Phone. its something special from all Xperia's
Enjoy

As the Z1 screen is surrounded by aliminium(I read somewhere in the forum that that's the problem),and the Z2 is aluminium+rubber I think the Z2 will not have this issue.

Since you already have a Z2 prototype - can you confirm that there still is a UMS mode available to switch the way you can connect your phone via USB? My car stereo sadly does not support MTP, so my only option to make the internal SD card available is via UMS.
thanks and sorry for hijacking the thread.

Some users in Tawian are reporting touch issues...
But it seems they are running a newer version of the firmware.

I tested this and saw touch problem but it s not just Z1 that shows touch-problem in this experimental situation.
if i remember correctly G2, htc One & etc shows same problem in an experimental situation.
But i hope like lots of software tweaks on XZ2 they do something for metallic frame and touch.
they changed frame design little-bit i don't know if it effect on touch panel or not!
:good:

One more question. Is it possible to hide embarrassing photo albums in gallery or Sony still did nothing about it?
