when I'm reading web page, and I'm scrolling up or down, the tablet randomly ZOOMS right in to part of the page i'm on. Often to a section that I'm not even reading. Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
thanks, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about cuz it's driving me crazy!!
This happens to me sometime, all I can say is that the touch screen is too sensitive, I have to make sure that my finger doesn't stay on the screen to long.
Yeah the screen seems to have a sensitivity issue.
I'm just sayin!

Can't say it'a an issue, this happens to ipad and Samsung Galaxy tablet as well when I tried my friends' devices.When you get used to your device, this will happen less.

Hopefully this is the case. Then I'll less likely feel this is a problem isolated to my unit.

The Sony S is super sensitive to quiver-fast double taps and finger jiggles (that you may not know you are doing.) Pretty sure that you'll get used to it and, even without thinking about it, simply adjust your browsing method. Takes a day or so to get beyond it.
Well, I've got my tablet for a few months now and I think every day that this is a pain in the ass. Regarding this issue I love the ipad. Or my galaxy s. Neither of them have this issue.

Did you put a screen protector on the screen without removing the factory one? I did at first and was having the same issue as you. Couldn't even type a message because it kept double tapping letters i was trying to type and scrolling while browsing sucked.
I took off the one I put on and just have the factory one now and, though it still happens some times, it is definitely better than it was before.

Yeah I had to do this same thing. The extra screen protector desensitized the hell out of tablet S. I've taken it off and it's much better, but still double taps at times on 1 tap.
I'm just sayin!

The salesman at the sony store put it on for me. So im not sure. I'd like to this he dd it properly.
I truly believe my tablet is defective. The problem I mentioned above plus horrible and slow scrolling, widgets disappearing, widgets freezing. Etc....
My tablet has been a lot better since I removed the protective film covering the screen. The cover was kinda thick. Now the colors are brighter and the viewing angle is better. I like the texture of the glass too.
I also don't notice the "ghost touches" that would happen right after I'd touch the screen, kind of like a double tap. Those were few and far between, but I've been enjoying my tablet sans protector enough, that this is just a bonus.
I'm not guaranteeing it, but this might fix your issue. You could also try replacing it with a thinner protector. My nook color's touchscreen was crazy without a protector, maybe this tablet is the opposite.

It also sounds like you could use a factory reset. I was having issues with my tablet being crappy and slow, and after doing a factory reset, freezing the unneeded apps (pretty much all of the Sony ones), disabling the media scanner, and applying the V6 supercharger script OOM values, my tablet has been pretty snappy.
I've been using the new Go Launcher HD home app in place of the default launcher which I froze (aka disabled the package).
Wait, there is a screen protector coming with the tab? I purchased the sony screen protector and put it on. So I've got two protectors on it?

Same with me, my tablet came with a free protector and the shop put it on for me. I am not sure if there is one already there as some insisted here but I have no sensitivity issue even if there are two screen protectors!
Yes it has a protector on it. It is very tough to keep the screen from getting cracked. To remove it, start at one of the corners with your fingernail. I used the bottom rounded corners to start. At first the screen will feel a little rough, but that's from the adhesive. Clean it with sone electronics spray and a microfiber cloth.
I like mine better with out it. The screen feels like glass now instead of plastic.
Yes..the tablet comes with a screen protector preinstalled which you can see if you look closely at the edge of the screen.

Here's a thread with pictures and info on how to remove the factory screen protector...

screen protector
I have the same touch sensitivity problems on my Tablet S (16GB WiFi) purchased in Singapore. Frequent hypersensitive touch behavior leading to random zooming and double taps, 'stickiness' in scrolling menus etc.
I read about the factory installed screen protector here on XDA but was unsuccessful in removing it...couldn't even get the edges to come off. Went down to the local Singapore Sony Service center and asked them to take a look at the hypersensitive touch issue...and what do you know...I couldn't reproduce it on the spot. Tried for 15 min, but the tablet behaved perfectly during the period . Couldn't convince the service tech that something was wrong.
Anyway, i asked them to remove the factory supplied screen protector and they said it should NOT be removed since it's not merely a protector, but a necessary part of the display for improving color reproduction and decreasing glare. Don't know if he was BSing me, but I left it at that. Note the image on this official website under the 'Sony’s amazing TruBlack™ display' section...
[EDIT: Looks like I cannot post a URL as a new user. Please check the Sony Singapore Tablet S official website]
I bought the official Sony screen protector (matte type) and had them install it. The sensitivity is much better now and the frequency of random zoom and double-tap has decreased drastically; but it's still there and pops up occasionally.
I am unsure of what to do next. Could it be a software issue? Among the browsers, I notice that it is most prominent/frequent in Opera Mobile. Occurs less frequently in the stock browser.
Today, I noticed that we have a possibility to set the sensibilty in our settings. Just go to input help (probably not the correct word... mine is german. It's the setting with the hand as a symbol). Within, there is a setting called something like touchscreen gestures. My tablet was default set to short. I changed it and now I don't experience the zoom issue anymore.

It's Touch n Hold Delay under Accessibility and default setting is Short.
I have no screen sensitivity problem on my tablet with extra screen protector on (I'm not sure if there is one factory installed on my tablet until today) so this function is useless to me
Hmm it seems that the touch and hold adjustment worked for me so far. Nice find!

Hello to all,
First of all i wanna thank you for any help in advance.
I have a mentioned phone for a litle while but the problem appeared when Xperia fell on the ground. Now my mobile looks like it went tough a war.
I decided i will change the housing, but i have few question.
When you buy a new housing is there the front screen protector, or this is allready the screen? i needto know if sony xperia housing has someting over the screen or is it the display allready?
And if this is changable i would like someone to describe the procedure.
You can se pictures below. All the dots on the display are deep dents.
Thank you for all of your help

I just bought a Tablet Z 32GB WIFI version model SGP312 from Hong Kong. The stock firmware version is 10.1.C.0.344.
It seems to me the touchscreen is very sensitive. E.g. when I am scrolling in Google play, it often "register" my finger motion as a touch and opens up the apps. When in Google Chrome, when scrolling a webpage, it will something zoom in, or open up new links instead.
It makes the tablet almost unusable. Anyone having similar issues. I read from this forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289978 the following"10.1.C.0.353
Released on 8 May
Touch responsiveness improved."
However, I tried using Flashtool to update the newer firmware (I've unlock my tablet's bootloader) but it doenst flash at all, no error messages.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Yes, mine is oversensitive, too. Same Firmware as you, unrooted, untouched firmware.
I will send it back anyway because additionally the screen is too yellow, the headphone protection is not firmly in place, video playback from SMB is stuttering, YouTube has out of sync problems, and the USB port isn't able to power my external disk (something my other tablets do without problems).
This device is seriously overrated; I think the reviewers are kind of dazzled by the thinness and low weight and thus too willing to overlook the weaknesses.

Youtube works fine with mine, and you can pull the pre-installed screen protector out and replace with an after-market one, thats should take care of the yellowish, and by external disk you mean the portable one?

After you pulled off the matte protective layer, there's another pre-installed screen protector, its causes the yellowish and fingerprint - magnet, pull it off and replace with after market screen protector

Thanks! I will give it a shot today. Does it come off easily? Coz it wasn't apparent there is a screen protector, I am guessing it's not that easy to remove.

You should prepare another screen-protector to put in after u pull the pre-installed one off. AND YES, its hard to pull off, super sticky so be careful not to scratch your screen

Anytime, it is a shattered proof film, but thats film mean to protect you, not the screen, its contains glass fragments in case the screen get broken, so feel free to pull it off and buy a replacement one on amazon, i did the same to my xperia z phone as well, the pre-installed film attracts alot of dust, and fingerprints magnet.

Start from the corner using a pin and tap some water on it, be careful not to scratch the screen, once the corner peel off a bit the rest should be easy

@jerdog posted this video earlier. Anyone else notice this with either their Xperia ZU or their ZU GPE?
I checked mine and it seems to not be as bad as jerdog's . On mine it seems to only happen when I press one particular spot on the screen
WHY did you have to show me this? I just checked by opening a black image in Chrome, and it does happen in one spot if i push hard. Looks like a part of the LED "feels the pressure".
Edit: Oh, also, the Z Ultra uses a "zero gap" display, which means that the LCD panel and the glass is one part, so by pushing the glass down, we also push the LCD panel down.

Yes, Sir. I read it somewhere on the Sony blog or whatever. You can easily see this yourself by holding your finger straight down on the screen while it's on. It'll look like you're touching the piuxels and not the glass (which looks to be really really thin)

Yeah similar with mine. But it is more pronounced in the left and right of the screen about 2/3 from the bottom of the phone. Not a problem i guess.. But that just shows you how sensitive the display is and might need some extra care for not putting too much force on it.

Yup, it doesn't surprise me, being an LCD display, but it's only noticeable if i press much harder than i'd usually press, so it won't even be noticeable under normal (human) usage.
Love my phone but had large phone in small pockets and upshot is it fell out and I accidentally drop kicked it across the room.
The plastic piece under the power and volume buttons broke and created a disconnect with the power (constant restarts and even booted into safe mode) so I had to remove it to stop the plastic from continuing to jam the power button.
I have ordered a replacement front/sides for the phone but searched high and low for a fix-it or tear down video.
Anyone know how I can get the old one off and the new one on?
Any Videos around?
The phone is usable but I would prefer it whole. Can anyone help?
Cheers.

Thank you very much for this manual which assisted me in the teardown of my Z Ultra.
I broke the screen in my pocket, glass and digitizer were broke making the phone useless.
The only thing missing was taking the coverglass/lcd off the frame, seems Sony replaces screen and frame as one unit.
I used one of the various guides for Xperia Z, heat and prying tool, and im now ready to put a new screen in, trying to find the best deal now.
