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?

Do you mean the protective layer that is there to protect it during transit or is there an additional screen protector pre-installed?

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

Oh crap, I wonder if its a shatter proof film and if its such a good idea to remove it then.I don't have a replacement for sure! But I'd definitely love to get rid of the yellowish tint.
Thanks again!

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

does this fix the problem or improve it ? and is it still waterproof? maybe its on there for that reason ?
Some oddball complaints I just heard (not saying they necessarily make sense):
- Screen image yellowish: Apparently an early production issue?
- Power button sort of wobbly
- Bad protection film on screen ( can't it just be pulled off and replaced by a 3M or so?)
- Videostream playback crappy when Bluetooth is active?
Protection
I have seen the display protector on Youtube, he thought it was a standard one and thought it could be taken off, so I would say it's not good. Maybe we can just replace it
I can confirm that on me device (SGP311DE):
Screen image is yellowish!
my SO- 03E screen is heavy yellow!!
will you return it?
Compare the Xperia Z display to a white sheet of paper. If one has other devices (many of which can have a blue/hi temperature cast to them) the sudden change to a white or even a warm screen can look very yellow.

It has a yellow tint compared to a white paper too.
I am not bothered by it though.
So, basically:
screen yellowish: yes.
power button sort of wobbly: yes..but not even close to the "I am afraid it will fall off" area or something like that.
bad protection film - cannot confirm, the film is fine
bluetooth audio - got nothing to test that.
On my Tablet Z the USB port doesn't deliver enough current to power a 2.5" external harddisk.
The disk works fine with a Nexus 7 and an Acer A700.

Screen colour looks absolutely fine to my eyes.
Power button is a little bit wobbly. I can't understand why that would bother anyone though.
I immediately removed the screen protector film. It looked like standard packaging stuff rather than attempt at a proper permanent screen protector. I never use screen protectors anyway.
Video playback of a full HD movie with sound playing through bluetooth speakers was faultless.
Hope that helps.

err... You do not mean the sticky tabe which was on the screen fresh out of the box? Because that isn't the screen portector film.
Do you still have the Sony logo on the top left? That one is printed on the screen protector film, so if you had removed it there would be no logo anymore either.

I do still have the logo, in which case I would say it's very, very good screen protector film.
Is the back of the tablet made by the same back material used in the xperia s?
And is ir true that the wifi models don't include sd card support?

- on 3g model - it's perfectly white, without any yellow hints, but I heard it's a problem only with wifi-only models. But cannot confirm, since haven't hold them in my own hands.
- kinda, little bit, doesn't bother at all.
- Yeah, it is bad. It doesn't really help with fingerprints, and it scrathes really easy. I've removed it on my tablet, and, by the way, logo printed on tablet itself, not on the protection film.
- haven't tested it, but even if so - it sounds more like software problem, so it can be fixed in the future.

WOW, I didn't even know there was a screen protector on it, I bought one with the table and was slowly getting round to fitting it...guess I have a spare now.
I've been very happy with mine, Bluetooth audio and SMB movie streaming from my Windows server works great. Powers my external SD card reader without additional power.
But I have just raised a case with Sony about my screen, since this morning I've got a very yellowish area along the right hand side of the screen, only noticeable on light backgrounds. Looks like a burn mark or something similar.
Will have to see what happens there.

Last time I saw partial screen yellowing along an edge, it was due to glass separation along that edge from the chassis on a 32 GB Wifi Nexus 7. The image was also grainier than on my old (and currently only) 16GB Nexus 7. Don't know if that helps in the diagnosis.

Did you put a new screen protector on? From the sounds of it I'll be taking it off straight away, but I don't like screen protectors, so I don't want to add another.
If so, is it fine? Are there any hairline scratches? Cheers

No I haven't, but plan to do it later, cause the screen itself attracts to much fingerprints. But in terms of scratches - there are none so far, even though I don't use cover also. And I doubt there will be anytime soon, cause if I'm not mistaken they use dragontrail glass, same as on Galaxy Nexus, which I didn't bother to put protection on, and which is still like new even after a year of intensive usage.
Screen is clicking around and starts apps and so on i have an screen protector on and i have not removed the Old protector
Can someone help i have c6833 and .532
I have noticed the exact same behavior! Also on the C6833 with .532 firmware, and using the Nova launcher. I have replaced the anti-shatter sheet with an anti-glare screen protector.
At first I thought that I accidentally touched the screen while the phone was in my pocket, but today I saw the device was starting my Flipboard desktop widget all by itself. Firmware bug?

Very weird i had so high thoughts about this phone in the beginning, but now i dont know i hope that sony can fix it soon.
Just happens when the screens dirty. The screen is very sensitive to pick up any point for handwriting, so any dirt or moisture will trigger it. Just wipe clean and see if it reoccurs.

My new Xperia Z2 touch screen sensitivity seems to be too sensitive. I applied Sony Xperia Z2 Screen Protector GLAS.tR NANO SLIM and it is very good one. The problem is the screen registered finger hovering as a touch!! I don't even touch the screen, just hovering it, it seems to press by itself. By using Style Cover Stand SCR10 - Sony for Z2, it get even worse. The screen touches the cover while I am walking, sometimes it changes music and calls someone too. This is very hard to use. While I talk on the phone, the cover touches the number and sometime touches at End Call. I have checked the Glove mode, and it is always Turned off. I asked Xperia Care, they suggested that, I need to turn off the Glove Mode, and turn off, Double Tab to wake. I did them, but the issue is still occurred. I have updated firmware to the newest one, the problem is still occurred. Has anyone encounter the same issue as I have? If you have, can you solve it? if so how to do so?
Please help me.
Thank you very much
You could try going to settings > accessibility and then at the bottom change touch and hold delay to medium or long. Might make a difference.
Thank you very much for your suggestion. i will try it =]
Do you have ever have this issue before? i just wonder that, this over sensitive is due to the screen itself, or the glass protector

I've had it were I've accidentally exited apps or tapped on something by mistake as the screen was too sensitive. That setting seems to have made a difference though...unless I'm just more aware of the problem so make a conscious effort not to leave my fingers hovering over the screen. I've not tried the phone without a screen protector so can't say if this has made any difference or not.
Thank you very much =]
Well I've not notice an improvement with different screen protectors. Started with a Spigen antiglare one and have a Roxfit antifingerprint one on now. Same sensitivity.

Hello, remove any laucher you have till new update of the firmware it will definitely bug your phone :/
I'm using stock launcher. Yeah I hope Sony fixes this with their next update - and hopefully they are aware of it.
Check you don't have "gloves mode" switched on. I had that on and I think it increases sensitivity so when hovering it registers. I've since turned it off and seems to work fine. Settings, display, glove mode.
Hope it helps

Hi, Have you tried with screen protector yet? do you have screen sensitivity issue like mine?
Thank you very much
Hey mate sorry I forgot to get back to you.
Yes I'm using the protector ans no, no issues at all. Everything's fine.
So I have had the Xperia Z ultra for over a year, and today I have had a problem with the screen. The problem is that the screen auto-touches itself, so basically I can not do anything the phone I tried the next things to fix the issue, but the issue is still there :
- Clean the screen
- Remove the anti-shatter film
- Clean screen again
Does anybody knows a fix for this? Do I need to dimantle the phone to repair the issue?
Ok, decided to do some tests. I used a hair dryer to heat up the Z ultra screen, after that, the screen was more responsive that before (didn't go crazy, more than half of the screen was working all right.)
It is possible there was moist on the screen which caused the freak out .
