For several days, my Z2 display random flickering spikes.
Is a Z2 D6503, locked bootloader, stock DRM key, rooted and Z3 firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 for Z2.
Earlier I tried to increase the brightness of the screen, editing /system/etc/pre_hw_config.sh with these values:
"fi dev =/sys/class/leds echo 4200 > $dev/lcd-backlight/max_brithness echo 4200 > $dev/WLED:backlight/max_brithness fi " (the maximum being 4095 stock).
I did not obtained a higher brightness, but lower brightness, set automatic at maximum 255.
I tried and “echo 265 > $dev/rgb/max_brithness” , same resultat.
I put back stock pre_hw_config.sh and everything returned to normal brightness.
But, for several days, my Z2 display random flickering spikes; coincidence?
I tried repair with Sony Pc Companion, install stock 23.0.1.A.0.167 rom, but no results; display random flickering spikes.
Help little, chek Disable HW overlays under Developer options, but still random flickering spikes.
Actualy i am on D6503_23.0.1.A.0.167_Customized UK (unbranded), rooted, locked bootloader.
Everything works fine, except random flickering spikes.
Something help?
Fix?
….Or broken screen hardware?

I think the GPU is slightly disoriented, overlay problem.
By the way, in landscape mode, almost no problems; some games, applications have problems in landscape mode; in portrait mode all have problems.
In fact, I think the problem came when i updated multimedia application Album, Movies Walkman ...
I upload a video for vizual description.

Can anyone tell me how completely disable the video GPU?
Thanks for help, problem solved.
Sony design problem.
The phone had little humidity inside.
Probably when we opened door to charge usb phone, or copy music phone, humid air penetrated inside.
Where Sony comes out humidity from the phone, if it is sealed?
To many people complain that they get water in your phone.
Even you can not completely seal usb connectors, microSD, and SIM, like headphones connector?
Halal waterproof phones! ... Maybe phones full of water!
My problem was solved by exposing the phone with the covers open and microSD card and SIM taken out at a heat source for 3-4 hours.
I like going and exposed to sunlight with the covers open.
I recommend that all phone owners xperia z .. to do this.
PS: I apologize because I thought the problem was from Sony updates (We are all know that the updates are not always hidden partitions of phones).
Have a nice day.

Hi there,
I have brand new Xperia Mini - ST15i. I have same issue like many users with it and that is flickering screen. However my flickering is still slighty visible when having 100% of brightness, with lower brightness it gets worse.
I wonder whether is this bug present in all Xperia Minis or only in some models because I can still return it to supplier.
Thanks in advance.
On your position I would return it to the shop,and try to get enother device.I dont have this model but no mather you paid money for brand new phone witch should work properly.
you can fix it via hw_config file. here it is (needs Root)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18404603&postcount=6
Hi, first sorry for my english, I hope that it will be clear enough to understand my problem...
My Xperia Ray, updated to ICS, display a black screen (with backlight) when waking up after a stand by. I have to wait for undertermined time to have something on the screen, sometimes I remove the battery and boot the phone to be able to use it.
I updated it to last 4.0.4 ICS thinking it will resolve the issue, but it has not.
I can still use the phone when connected to MyPhone Explorer with the phone keypad, while the mobile's screen is black the MPE windows shows me the "normal" mobile screen. Everythings else works normally.
I'm afraid to give it to customer service, it was a SFR branded phone and I flashed it with a generic firmware.
Locked bootloader, sfr gave me unlock code for sim cards, lost my root with last upadte too.
Any help ?
Did it also occur on Gingerbread firmware?
Didn't try with GB, it happened when on ICS .562, SEUS update to .431 didn't fix the problem.
I have the same problem with my Xperia Ray.
It already happened on GB and now also on ICS.
The screen stays black if you try to wake it up after standby (doesn't matter if power button or home button ).
This happens around 80% of the time.
The only things that help are: Waiting a few minutes, taking out the battery, or hitting the power button like crazy and eventually the screen will show up again after around 10 times on and off.
I brought my phone to the service center of the shop 3 times and every time they tell me they won't repair or switch it because the hardware looked fine in their opinion (they don't switch it on there, the one time I showed them the switched on phone with the error, they told me they could see the problem but as long as nothing inside is broken 'it's not their problem' . I told my lawyer and now he is trying to get me a replace phone.
The problem even comes right after you factory reset so I don't think it's an app.
It happens without the sd card in.
I had an different homescreen launcher installed around the time it first happened, but I removed it and it still happened and I factory reseted and it still happened. So I think it has nothing to do with that?
I tried software repair with the SE Update Service and it told me everything was alright.
Does someone around here have an idea what could be the cause?
I brought it to SFR customer service (here in france) 2 time, the 2 time they just downgrade it to GB, diagnostic was "update problem". They didn't take in consideration what I told them.
One of the shop employee told me that the third time normally they have to replace it by another one. If they don't want to change it I think I'll mess up their shop...
This even happens on Xperia Mini
when ever i try to wake it up by pressing Home button or Power button
it takes about 3-5 seconds to wakeup
it should be instant isn't it?
I also experienced 2 times that even pressing
all the buttons doesn't wakes up the screen
but only back light, then i have to restart the
phone by removing the battery.:crying:
Me too !
I have tha same problem !! I can't take it esay..It's bad thing in my Idea! very disgusting :crying:
I've got the same delays on my Lww, sometimes my phone doesn't wake up at all, and sometimes it takes several seconds. I haven't found any solution for it, but it seems to be a Sony-specific problem.
Sent from my Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I have also the same problem from some days
tried to reset all with flashtool with no luck
the problem is also during kernel loading,tried different kernel,logo and cw doesn't appear 90%times
if someone is able to read in logcat file I have attached one here
thanks for any help
me also
i also have the same problem with my xperia x10
bad news for all of us.....

I turned the sound for messages and phone calls back on. On 'silent' the phone just vibrated.
It hasnt fixed the problem of the black screen completely, but it is happening a lot less for me.
Finally I brought my Xperia Ray to the shop where I got it for the third time.
I bought it 159 Euros in december 2011 (plus Sony gave me 50E back) and they refunded 270 Euro in november 2012 !
Not exactly a refund because I had to choose another mobile, so I took the Xperia T which was 430euro, so I had to pay 160 E for the XT.
Good deal for replacement of a one year old mobile ! Only problem is that I can't unlock the BL.
It is a strange hardware problem since the screen can eventually be turned back on, so maybe it is something in the firmware that is screwed up and doesn't get completely fixed by SUS. If I were you guys I would try this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492805
It may not work, but it is better than throwing your Ray in the trash.
I have the same problem. My phone (xperia ray) after standby or after reboot has black screen with backlight. At first waiting for couple of seconds and trying to wakelock would solve the problem, after few weeks to wake up my phone I needed it to reboot (pulling out the battery). Now I need few reboots to start the device with screen on.
I found workarounds like Llama combined with Nightclock (both from Google Play) for the screen never goes off, but this eats battery and also sometimes the screen would go off. I don't believe its a hardware problem because with this workaround the phone is usable few days (until Llama delay the "events").
Found a way to make a logcat from starting the device. Two are for unsuccessful startups (black screen with backlight) and one for successful (screen on).
I think the problem is in the kernel for not loading drivers, but someone who knows to read logcat will tell us/me for sure. I can't flash new kernel because the phone is with Bootloader locked (Bootloader unlock allowed: NO).
Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf
Stock Rom 4.1.B.0.587
rooted
PS. Sorry for my english its not my native language.
Just to add one or two more informations: even with black screen and backlight the phone is usable, like I can answer on calls, it vibrates when I slide to unlock... I also thought the problem is in proximity sensor, but if it was that case the touchscreen would be locked.
If you fully discharge the battery and after switch on,it start normally?

Hello all and please forgive my poor english
I really love this tablet (thickness, battery, weight, screen) BUT i have a major problem with it : i often need to tap 2 or 3 times on something in order to launch/select it and it ruins my global experience with the tablet :crying:
Do you guys have this problem and is there a way to alter the sensivity of the screen ?
Thanks

Yes, I have the same problem. Some say, it's software issue, and suggest to wait until tab gets updated.

Many people have this problem, including a number of reviewers.
Nevertheless Sony refuses to acknowledge the existence of the issue. When I called them, the guy said "You are the first to report such a problem". (Probably he lied and was advised "from above" to say so...)
The customer is left in the cold!
Some people have a return policy - what if one waits for a software update, the return period expires, the update comes, but it doesn't fix the problem and it turns out to be a hardware problem??
The information politics of Sony and other companies (yes, Google, you too!) is an absolute PILE OF S**T!!
Yup, me too. The annoying thing it is difficult to document. Yesterday my tablet was charging and I turned the screen on using power button - lock screen didn't react at all to my inputs. Tried switching screen on/off a few times but it didn't help. Also tried double-tap to wake with no success. Went to get my camera to document, then of course it started working...
I've written this elsewhere, but this is how I notice the touch screen problems:
For me the tablet randomly doesn't recognize touches during the below instances. In all cases either going to the home screen and relaunching the app or turning the screen off/on will solve the problem. The problems occur several times per day but not constantly.
Sometimes opening apps will cause everything but the bottom android-buttons to be non-responsive. This can happen in any app it seems, including native ones such as Google Play.
Sometimes the lockscreen doesn't recognize touches at all.
While charging I've had issues getting the touchscreen to recognize touches, disconnecting the charger has helped.
Double-tap to wake seems to be very moody, sometimes working sometimes not. Sometimes it turns the screen on even by me just holding the tablet with my palm resting against the screen.
While not a bug per se, also the android-buttons seem very picky that you have to hit them right on the spot to work.

Damn ! i'm not alone....
One forumer said he thinks that switching OFF Stamina mode helped a little bit...
I don't have my tablet with me, can someone test this ?
"A little bit" help is NOT enough.
The touchscreen MUST work perfectly, whether with Stamina Mode on or off or whether with Mode XY on or off. No discussion.
Sony HAS to fix this.
Already solved in .55 firmware

The same experience with Z1 compact and support. Told them the camera is really broken - they told me there is absolutely nothing wrong with the camera and I'm the first one who got this problem. That was some weeks before, now they officialy added that maybe some devices are defect.
But that´s Sony, they give a **** about u, don't even try to contact the support.
I'm also having this issue, if I'm using the Sony sleve it's impossible to use the touchscreen as it will tip over when I press hard enoug for the screen to actually register it.
No problem here.
Only early days yet. The only prob I've got atm is Dropbox isn't showing up in the Album.
Edit: Fixed the Dropbox problem by using the Dropsync app.
I also seem to get this. The tablet works fine when tilted at an angle but for some reason can be completely unresponsive when it's laid flat. Would this suggest a hardware issue or a software bug?
I also get this, sometimes it's like I just need to press harder (so hard the tablet falls over when using the cover as a stand), but other times it seems that no matter how hard I press or how many fingers I apply it doesn't register a thing for periods at a time.
I'm lead to believe that this is either software or firmware considering the intermittent nature. Are there any custom ROMs out yet that we could flash to eliminate the software aspect?
I have same problem, most noticeable in Chrome, switching tabs fails to register 10% of time. I can only think Sony have a hardware quality control issue with the digitizer as if it was firmware related, surely everyone would be suffering. Strange none of the reviews have picked this up, but I'm going to have to return mine.
No, no, no.
It's most surely a firmware problem!
The electric current threshold for registering a touch is set too high. So if the tablet lies on a non-conducting surface, and especially if it was not touched for a longer time, there will be touch problems. Also touching the tablet with a fingernail will not suffice because nails conduct current worse than skin. Other tablets which have a lower current threshold also accept fingernail touches.
I'm very sure: If you hold the tablet with one hand and touch with the other (and don't accidentally use fingernails), touch will be OK! Right? This is because more current will flow.
The .55 firmware which is out for LTE devices already and will follow for WiFi devices lowers the threshold and thus fixes the problem.
Up to then always take the tablet in your hands when operating it.
Interesting theory, just gave it a go, inclusive, but does seem worse in case. However if Sony aware, why have they not rushed out firmware as otherwise initial user experience is ruined.

POTENTIAL FIX FOUND (ROOTED ONLY)!
Rooted users can try this fix, works for me! Touch seems to work perfectly now, also when tablet not in hands and lying on non-conducting surface!
Edit the file
/system/usr/idc/clearpad.idc
and alter these two lines:
Code:
touch.pressure.scale = 0.0001
(original value: 0.1)
and
Code:
touch.filter.level = 1
(original value: 2)
Don't forget a nandroid before
Please report whether it helped! :good:
P.S.: just for the curious - on the first Tablet Z, the two values are also lower: touch.pressure.scale is 0.0074, and touch.filter.level is also only 1.
Thanks for suggestion but dont wish to root (I use it to watch Sky which wont work if rooted) - seems there is more assistance on this forum to the issue than from Sony. I'll give it another week for a firmware fix before returning it.
elaborate...

My bad, didn't read all the way through, ignore me.
Now after a few days I can say:
With the root fix described above, my tablet works like butter. Simply perfect. :good:
Only instance where I have still problems is when the tablet was lying around for a while and I try to operate the touchscreen without taking it in my hands. Then sometimes (not always) the screen doesn't react, but only for a short time.
The problem seems to be related to static electricity.
So some of you with white Z5 compact phones might have had this touch sceen bug with repetitive key presses and unstable touch screen behaviour bug which was previously "fixed" by a software upgrade:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/10/21/white-xperia-z5-compact-touch-screen-fix-arriving-next-week/
Lo and behold. This bug is back in MM, and there is another guy in the thread which I can see also have the bug come back
It is not always there, but sometimes its just there. I dont know what triggers it. A restart seems to help until it comes back again.
For those of you not familiar with this bug, it usually shows by repetitive touches, and highly unstable touch screen.
For example when i press the key "s", it usually put in "sssssss" like i have pushed that key 5-6 times.
Also the bugs shows, when for example you are scrolling in facebook/internet, it will not let you scroll. Whenever you touch the screen, it will enter, whereever you lay your finger on screen.
Lastly it also shows by the screen becoming completely unresponsive when you press anywhere.
I have clean installed MM and restored my apps via Sony Backup/restore app.
I am so pissed how a phone color (white) can somehow decide the behavior of the phone touch screen, and I believe sony is hiding something.
In the beginning I was thinking that maybe they made different builds for the different Z5 colors, so they might not have included the "newest" touch screen drivers for at launch time for the white version.
But the same bug appearing AGAIN in MM i have a very hard time understanding that should be the case that it was a software bug. I believe there are some hardware bug, they have somehow omitted by a software circumvention, and they forgot to add it to the white version for the MM launch.
Personally I have always had a problem with the "return" key when the phone is placed. Patch or not, this button works once out of 10.
For information, I just bought this phone. I also think there is a hardware problem. This is average for a manufacturer like Sony. I thought for a moment it back in service but when I see the number of dissatisfied with the service Sony in France, I preferred to keep my phone in the hope that a solution comes a day. We have the right to expect in my opinion ...
I did clean install via flastool also and i have/had this problem. Yesterday i did software repair via pc companion and restores apps after that and so far problem has not occured.
I also made a repair with PC Companion but nothing changed.
So there are other people here with this annoying problem.
You all have a white xperia yes?
This bug is so annoying I feel sometimes like tossing the phone into a wall.
If there was an alternative to this phone in this form factor and specs, I would have bought it yesterday.
But unfortunately there isn't
It's a poor ground connection from the digitizer most likely. You can replicate this "bug" on any device with a bad USB charger. I had a charger that would cause my Nexus 7 to detect random touches.
The software fix was likely adjusting the voltage threshold for touch events to be considered actual presses. It was likely forgotten about when they updated and just needs to get readjusted again. Too bad we don't have the ability to adjust the threshold ourselves in developer options
That being said I have a white z5c and I've only had this "bug" happen once and I just chalked it up to me being plugged into the wall and didn't think much of it. I use my phone constantly too.

Interesting theory. Do you think it is likely that this issue only occurs for one phone color (WHITE), and then only for some whites.
The assembly line for the phones should more or less be the same, no mater the color.
I also have Sony Z5 compact white version which had the touch problem from start. Now after the Marshmallow update its back. As said above, it could happen while browsing (or on home screen) e.g. Entering links instead of scolling i.e. It triggers multi click. In these situations all menu keys will also be none responsive. Its starts acting normal again after a quick push of the power button, i.e. puttning the screen to sleep.
As a former developer for mobile software, both for apps and the android platform, i thinking i would agree with the above conclusion that the problem is hardware based, and not due to a difference in the delivery software version, as i was hopping. So the question is; will this always be a problem for these versions of Z5c white, i.e. they are forgotten in new builds?
Unfortunately I'm having the same problem with my white z5 compact...

it happens that for different colors are used different materials.. probably white ones have different properties..
i can confirm that using bad cable/chargers this kind of bug happens with every device, with random touches and impossible scrolling.. if you have a well-known bad adapter and you note no differences with your white z5c, that's definitively the answer..
i think sony should recall all white z5cs and replace them with newer or different release
What revision of compact Z5 are you? Personally I have a revision 3 (that is written on the box).
I also had a touch of problem before moving to the latest version of Android (6).
My girlfriend also bought white Z5 Compact and funny thing... I put the Panzer Glass on the screen and guess what? Sometimes she can't turn off the alarm clock in the morning and sometimes navigation buttons are not responding. I tried then without the screen and it works without a problem. I am not sure if this is a problem with Panzer glass or sony's bug.
I have Z5 and have no problems, but mine is black edition
Mine is z5c white version as well. The bug started again on MM
And the bug quite annoying.
I bought it on updated lollipop.
And never had this problem before.
This plus Bluetooth is really making me hold off on not moving up from .200 lol
Argh - just saw the visual representation of this bug:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/10/06/xperia-z5-compact-owners-reporting-touch-screen-problems/
and it sounds A LOT like the one from the OnePlus One (driver & firmware issue)
easy blame: Synaptics - fix your ****
Anyway:
try enabling the double-tap-to-wake if it's not already enabled, lock the screen - give it some time to settle (~ 30 seconds),
wake it up (double-tap) - do some stuff - disable the double-tap-to-wake and lock the screen again.
Unlock it via power button and see if that improved the "situation".
Sony recommended a few times to boot into Safe Mode,
does this Mode exist on Android Marshmallow ?
Does it make any change ?
Had this in Nougat is there a fix?
It feels like a software problem! You can try to reinstall the system!
First consider whether it is a system problem. You can refresh the system to see if it is back to normal. If it still does not, then you may need to update a new LCD screen. You can go online to find the repaired video as a reference. The witrigs repair video is doing great, you can check it out!
TAKE A LOOK A THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OF NEW XPERIA X F5122
I HOPE THEY WOULD BE NOTICED AND FIXED (sorry for bad english)
PROBLEM 1 (MAJOR)
-major software problem which appears to be only in sony phones (since i never experienced it in other brands devices)
-everytime i connected my device to pc in mtp mode, many of the files on sd card are either absent or shown with 0kb size rendering my files completely useless
-reinstalling drivers did not help since the phone is detected right
-the only solution i could find is to erase data of external storage and media storage in apps and then restart
but the problem appears again when i connect it again in a couple of times
PROBLEM 2 (MAJOR)
it has a great camera but it cannot focus when the object is near to lens (like taking a shot of 4x4 photograph) (not too close)
the camera had to be taken far from the photo in order to get it focused (too far for me in terms of near focus)
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it
PROBLEM 3
while playing music its back metal panel vibrates too strongly to cause vibrations in whole body
and too much dirt gets into the space of front speakers (makes the empty space of speakers white, like dirt and sand)
----so i guess sony needs to make structural changes in future models in order to make a sturdy built device----
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping
occurs more when in stamina mode
noted.
F5121 here and only experience problems 3&6 not that it really bothers me.
Please explain this - "the double click to lock screen works fine"?

You can enable it through settings in the launcher. And it only works when you are in the launcher, you can't lock it while in an app.
Edit: thought i was hit by number 5. But i wasn't, was using forced 2d rendering and that caused it to be come hotter than normally. Have none of the issues mentioned above.

Good to know, as I'm using Apex Launcher, I wasn't aware of such default launcher functionality. But as Apex is still better, I just configured it's double tab to launch Greenify hibernate & lock and this does the same job.
I got 6th problem.
You are very right. I can't believe what just happened to me. Have been crying since yesterday. I connected my Xperia x to computer to access a file from SD and I search for it but couldn't find it. I had to disconnect phone from pc and reconnect to see if i could access file. To my shock and surprise i couldn't see any files in my SD again. My SD was holding data size of 46GB but in a twinkle of an eye i lost all, phone shows only 9GB all files completely disappeared! What kind of phone is this? Am completely confused, i have to sue sony for this, this is completely unacceptable. Have never experienced such since have been using phones in my life.
All my data saved and I depend on in my work are completely lost just like that. How can I spend huge money on Xperia x to suffer this kind of loss? What do o do now?

TAKE A LOOK A THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OF NEW XPERIA X F5122
I HOPE THEY WOULD BE NOTICED AND FIXED (sorry for bad english)
PROBLEM 1 (MAJOR)
-major software problem which appears to be only in sony phones (since i never experienced it in other brands devices)
-everytime i connected my device to pc in mtp mode, many of the files on sd card are either absent or shown with 0kb size rendering my files completely useless
-reinstalling drivers did not help since the phone is detected right
-the only solution i could find is to erase data of external storage and media storage in apps and then restart
but the problem appears again when i connect it again in a couple of times
PROBLEM 2 (MAJOR)
it has a great camera but it cannot focus when the object is near to lens (like taking a shot of 4x4 photograph) (not too close)
the camera had to be taken far from the photo in order to get it focused (too far for me in terms of near focus)
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it
PROBLEM 3
while playing music its back metal panel vibrates too strongly to cause vibrations in whole body
and too much dirt gets into the space of front speakers (makes the empty space of speakers white, like dirt and sand)
----so i guess sony needs to make structural changes in future models in order to make a sturdy built device----
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping
occurs more when in stamina mode

Never occurred to me: problems 1, 2 and 4. I am not sure about 4, but compared to every single other device I have used I didn't notice any problems with the jack. Also, focus on the camera is OK for a 4x4 picture.
3 - yes, that is 101% true. The vibrations are unbearable.
5 - yes, although not always (eg. when charging mine almost never overheats, only with 7.1.1 broken version)
6 - idk
well the issues are now 1 year old,, but worth replying!
please see my replies in RED

its Windows MTP issue! even on Galaxy phones, the largers the counts of file(not size) , mtp fails to load. I use wifi servers on Fx File Explorer, ORR the BEST is MYPHONE EXPLORER http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

I never faced such issue! X takes awesome pix! however try the latest build nov17 , on 7.1.1
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it

I find vibration as normal as any device! however the speaker volume was low which after rooting i replaced xml file to loud them further.. and yes X don't have IP rating! so its not dust, water resistant!
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
I always found it very low! so if you have ROOTED X, you can replace the attached mixer_paths_wcd9335.xml file at /system/etc (make backup of the original) // then reboot! the device will be so LOUD
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
flash FCS_thermal_Xperia_X_V.1.3.zip using twrp and heating problem will be solved to 30%
battery is just 2600mAh , no solution for that
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping
occurs more when in stamina mode
my friend has black version, works amazing!
my lime version also don't respond to double tapping at times! specially on stamina mode!
in new line of xperia they have removed this batter draining feature!

since its your first post and I believe you have X which is not rooted.
the first tip i will give you is to EXTACT DRM KEYS! before unlocking the boot!
xperia X in one of the few lucky devices whose drmkeys can be Extracted!
in 2017 line of sony phones! its impossible (as of now)

Problem 1; I don't seem to experience this on my single sim variant, except this Mtp crap is buggy and unresponsive with almost every phone I've used from android 1.6 days.
Problem 2; That is due to the 120 degree G lens. You'd realise that other phones have a much narrower field of view compared to the XX and thus, you'd be holding the phone much further way to get the same macro shot as you would on the XX hence the focusing problem.
Problem 3; Oh yes definitely agree with you on that.
It is also worth nothing that the main speaker (top) is louder than the bottom one.
Problem 4; yes with speaker and the 3.5mm jack.... ummmm really? How loud do people listen to their music?
it drives my 60ohm Sony headphones just fine. It's a bit lower volume than my tablet or laptop, but the XX's output is more than enough. If you're talking about the stock headphones.... man you're just damaging your hearing.
Problem 5; only on stock camera app, but yes like after 3 minutes of 60fps full recording. Google Camera, Line Camera and Snapchat work just fine even when the phone is boiling hot.
But my battery is just fine.
Problem 6; that only happens when I have a glass screen protector on.
All true!
All true!
Everything you describe is exactly what I experience with my device. It is also model F5121
I also say that when it's hot in the car or outside it's worse and the device gets really hot and the screen gets almost dark with the wase when it's hot in the car, especially in the summer so the device heats up as well. I took a video at night and the device did not get hot but on this day it's really bad. In short, Sony did not deal with the heating problem because I read that they said that this update will work out but it happened.
Solution for problem 1:
Restart the phone when you want transfer files using mtp from sd card. The reason you don't see those files is because of the way android (or the Linux kernel in general) handles file transfer.
