Hi guys,
After the smallest of drops my Z2 has gone a bit odd. It thinks there is a constant touch in the top right of the screen/notification bar. Unfortunately this is rendering it fairly useless.
Does anyone know of a way I can disable touch in a specified region (X,Y coords?), I had a quick search but everything I found was for app development rather than usability. Perhaps I wasn't using the right terms.
Any insight would be wonderful!
Screenshot of the current problem - touch in the top right on the clock is a ghost/phantom touch that is constant.
Apparently I can't link outside urls because I'm new but if you were to go to i.imgur.com/nqT4nxA.png you would see a screenshot of the situation
I think there's not such an app yet.

Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices
Update:
Flashed phone to KitKat (17.1.A.2.55) and there was no touch at all in the top status bar!
Thinking I had perhaps somehow fixed it I then flashed phone to Lollipop (23.1.A.1.28), 5.0.2, and the spot/touch came back in the status bar
Anyone able to make some suggestions? I probably should have made a more detailed thread for this problem.
I may unlock the bootloader and try a custom rom and just pray? Or I guess I'm stuck running KitKat?

Hi all,
Running a stock, but rooted SGS3 here in UK, not carrier specific. Was having a problem under ICS where tapping the clock and going into the clock app and then into world clock only works with the city list by name. If I try to select the globe view then I just get a black screen and a second or two later, kicked back to the clock app main screen.
Updated to JB via Kies hoping it'd fix the problem but no joy.
I have No Bloated a few bits out, probably took out something too much... Any one have any ideas or links to the clock APK that might help me?
Thanks
Adam.

Thanks for the help everyone. I got it fixed myself by going in to Settings -> apps and cleaning out the cache for the system application 'clock'.
Just in case anyone else is having the same problem.

Hi, I have SGP311 and just upgraded to 4.2.2 and i noticed a major drop in screen resolution, it is noticeable since the boot animation, all videos played from Movies, MxPlayer and so look crappy, the stock font also looks blurry. I was wondering if anyone has the same issue?

That's not good, I won't upgrade until this is responded too (not that i can update yet, I don't have OTA ....)
Can you do a screeny if you believe that it will be evident to see?

I would but it is not that evident, it came to my attention since the first boot after de XPERIA logo, the lines look extremely blurry in comparison with 4.1.2, I'm not that demanding in terms of screen res but i can notice it even with 1080p movies i used to play looking super crisp, also on Firefox and pdf's, I've been browsing threads but found no comments regarding this..I am looking for a downgrade but I'm a noob and dont want to brick this thing, I was hoping if someone could tell me if the right way to do it is via Flashtool + FTF file with full wipe??
I upgrade to 4.2.2 and do not have this everything is the same.... I find the scrolling on mine a lot better more fluid with the tip of the thumb..... only one thing so far but I will wait to make a battery drain and recharge to be sure but I find the battery is draining faster in sleep mode (stamina) I lost 4% leaving the tab doing nothing I thing it was better before. and also be able to root the device...... I like the new camera software in Superior auto .... Wifi also improved .....
I haven't experienced this, everything looks the same, and when doing a full screen application the top status bar disappears and the bottom bar icons turn into dots (less obvious), not 100% but I think the bottom navigation bar is not as tall as when it was a combined navi bar, if that's the case more screen real estate for full screen which may be causing your movies to not look as crisp as they need to fill in more room on the screen?
I'm not sure there is, but it may be a problem with assets (icons, stock wallpapers, etc.) if they're specifically optimised for the original bottom combined navi/status bar and now they're being stretched but any other content is just displayed within the boundaries of the bars without resizing or dpi change (just less being visible)
Just downgraded
I just downgraded to 4.1.2 and it is all back to normal, Im aware that it may sound like a thing of perception since the new notification bar was added an so but I swear its not, maybe its just my xtz..the only thing i miss is the speed of 4.2.2

I'm used to zooming in chrome with a double tap + slide up for zoom in or double tap + slide down for zoom out. Has this feature been removed?
Nobody?

There was no zoom feature on my Nexus 5X out of the box totally stock. Still no zoom with an OTA to 6.0.1. No change with Chrome Dev. Not rooted, not unlocked, totally unmolested vanilla Marshmallow.

So we Talk about that it doesent works on n5x and not z3c??
Wow thats weird i couldnt imagine how to browse an that giant screens without that double tap to zoom i use my phone 60% one handed... Cant even believe they disabled it, Maybe Google again f***ed it up... -_-, but,
You did maybe a search on Google if some other experiencing the same issue? Maybe need to set a switch or sth..??
I will go tomorrow to a tech Shop & try it. On a 5x and 6p and report back.... If they really disabled it, then... Google need to not take so much stuff ?

Yes I use my phone one handed all the time, or at least I used to. Now I have to fumble with the phone to use a second hand or try to pinch zoom one-handed. Quite annoying.
I have searched Google and there are reports over the years of the feature being missing but nothing seems specific to N5X or Marshmallow...
I think most people don't know the feature is there and that is why they don't notice it missing.

I can really feel ur pain but also cant imagine they removed it Most of my friends have Android phones in all classes like old or new some are flashed with CM or something and i think it works there everywhere... Im sure for the Most phones.
What i read is that some had this Problem, because if you enable "zoom gestures" in accesability settings, it dont works. Maybe you check that?
I will also see hows on the nexuses here, tomorrow. But im pretty sure the dont removed it. Its a bug when. There would be apps and xposed modules at least to bringt that functionality back...

Yes I can't imagine they removed it, I think it must be a bug. I had this feature working just last week on my Nexus 5 (2013) before I got the 5X. I was running Cataclysm (AOSP 6.0 + tweaks I think) and the feature was there.
I also read about the zoom gestures, but that can't be it because it was never enabled... until I started searching all the menus of the phone to remedy the problem and found that zoom gesture (was disabled when I found it, but I enabled it in an effort to bring back the one-handed zoom). The gesture offers some one-handed zoom but it is really crap in comparison to the regular double-tap + slide. After messing around with the "triple tap magnify" in accessibility menu and finding it crappy, I disabled it. Still no double-tap slide zoom. Garrgh..

Well here's an update. I noticed I DID have the double tap + slide to zoom feature in chrome, but only on particular pages and only if I tapped in certain spots on the page. I'm probably just an idiot.
Regardless, I've unlocked, rooted, and flashed Cataclysm last night. No issues. Double tap + slide to zoom works as expected. Case closed!
I installed marshmallow today and my zoom feature no longer works on chrome either. I have a Samsung s6 edge
sorry if this is the wrong place but for life of me i cannot find anything about my problem when i flash custom roms likr dirty unicorn and all the new ones the screen overlaps the status bar with the battery and time half displays on the top of the screen and the other half on the bottom can any help or point me it the right directions
thanks in advance !!!
Guys please im desperate here
Some more info if i flash stock 5.1.1 or any other android 5 there is no issue but any other android 6 or 7 rom i have the screen position issue .
i have tried at least 5 diffident roms
it seems like the screen position is slightly too far up
is there any way for me to change the screen position?
i have sort of got it to work by changing the resolution slight it does correct the overlapping but then i sit with a small space of unused screen on the bottom .
ok so if i take a screen shot it shows perfect so first pic is a screen shot but second pic is what im actually seeing
Thanks again
no one ?

I have the same problem
I have exact same problem. Not only on CFW (Ressurection Remix N v5.8.3 20170525) but also in Recovery -> TWRP (3.0 and on two 3.0.2).
My phone: Xperia Z Ultra C6833, Unlocked bootloader
UPDATE, I have checked the lcd panel. I bought my Xperia and I have "somc,novatek_default_panel", so this is the problem...

Wow i thought i was the only one with this issue but seems not ... so you say its the panel ? by panel do you mean the lcd screen ?
was the screen replaced with a generic one ?
I have replaced my lcd screen as well so if that is the case this is not good
I really hope some one can help us out here ???
you can use an app to edit the resolutions a bit the screen does not overlap any more but you do loose a small space on the top and bottom of the screen .

I have done a lot of research and it is problem with screen recognising. Roms that works great are the one which recognise screen as default novatek. In all of those with screen overlapping hardware is recognised as renesas sharp. This is main problem. I think that if we change definition of screen in kernel arch/arm/boot/dsi-panel-togari.dtsi it will run as it should.
Similar problem experienced z3 users. And it was kernel related bug. They had problem with screen flickering. After patching kernel it started to work. I know that nailyk - xda senior member fixed that problem. screen was recognised in cmd or video mode and I do not remember now which was correct and which was not.
Let's all stay in contact maybe we will fix this at our own or someone will help us
About screen - i do not now if it is aftermarket one or not, I have bought used Xperia Z Ultra because I have always wanted to build my own rom. Right now I'm trying to compile lineageOS for togari but it is not as that easy, but I will definetly make it!
PS. and for editing display settings you do not need any app. You can do it with ADB commands:
adb shell wm overlay
adb shell wm density
but as you have said you can show all top status bar - but the touch screen will be working a little bit lower and you can do nothing with the bottom one.
i wish this could be solved
did any of you figure this out , have the same problem
Ahoy, XDA.
My Huawei Mate 10 pro recently updated itself to EMUI 9 (Android 9) and one change is really annoying me quite a bit: the network and wifi indicator icons are now positioned with the other, transient notification icons on the left hand side of the notification bar.
How can I move these indicators back to their proper place: the right hand corner?
I have been using Android since 2010 and, seriously, I never asked for and don't want such a pointless change. I like to have the left hand corner clean -- meaning all transient notifications have been dealt with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What does that has to do with network icons on the other side?
you can turn on notch in developer settings and it will make sense

It only simulates having a notch, which makes no sense at all when the phone doesn't have one, and it makes the statusbar icons lower

Thats why there is at the end of sentence . As huawei has ton of phones with notch i guess it was easier for them to make same layout across all phones.

I just received the update today. Saturday January 26th. Certain icons to the right don't bother me either.
It appears that they made the active icons to the left and the static ones, i.e., battery and time to the right. Seems logical to me and less clutter on one side only.
Any solucion?
My Mate10pro was automatically updated with emui9 as well. I agree that the mobile network and wifi status icons are VERY ANNOYING on the left side. In my understanding the status bar should show status icons on the right and notifications on the left side. It is simple as that.
Any idea how to fix this and return the icons to their proper place???!
