I was wondering if anybody experienced problems with the touchscreen on the lockscreen.
When I wake up the phone from deep sleep and try to enter the pattern to unlock the phone the touchscreen behaves like it has a loose connection. While I am drawing the pattern it cancels the input as if I was not touching the screen anymore. This happens at completely random times but only on the lockscreen.
After a few seconds, maybe around 20, it works as intended again.
This happened already on GB and continues to do so on ICS. Having changed the Kernel and Roms a lot with all kinds of wipes lets me think that it is a hardware issue.
Does that happen to anyone else?
Hey i can't use the lockscreen face recognition. The phone fails to open the config. Anyone knows what to do?
Stock ICS
Firmware upgraded to XXALF5
Problem solved
How ? If someone else runs into it too. Thanks
Here are my issues with face unlock.
1) Not as secure as you'd think.
Test, take your picture with another phone, hold the phones face to face - unlock
2) SLOW.... If it fails to recognise you, it goes to pattern or pin unlock. This in itself is fine, but in low light it will really struggle to recognise your face. You will waste valuable seconds waiting while it tryies only to have to use pattern / PIN anyway.
Comclusion, nice try, nice gimmick but not the next big thing. Biometrics would have been good, like the Atrix.
Hello!
I recently changed a cracked display on my l7777.
When I turn on the phone everything works just fine, including all tests using *#0*#.
But if I lock the screen or it locks itself after some time, the screen is upside down, really bright, and the touch inputs are reversed, for example to pull down the top bar, you have to drag from the bottom. Also sometimes crashes the *#0*# test or it shows failed.
Im not sure what is causing this, I tried apps that force the screen to certain rotation, but they barely work and the touch inputs are still reversed.
Sadly I only have access to limited technical support (I live in Bolivia) but I was wondering if there is any way to fix this, if the phone works perfectly on start up, maybe someone knows how to remain like this, what happens when the screen is locked?
Thank tou very much in advance for any help

Sounds like the digitizer was inverted somehow when the screen was replaced.

I would say, go back to the tech that replace it for you and tell them to fix it at no charge. But if you were the one that did it, I would suggest to go to someone that know how to do it.

Thank you, is there any way I can check if this is what has happened?
I cant take it back, Im afraid they could make more damage, and there is no good tech service near me, I have searched a lot.
Is there any way I can do this myself?
I was hoping that since everythings works ok until the screen locks, there may be a software fix for me.
You can do the repair yourself. I'm sure you can find a YouTube video to walk you through it. It might be worth it to tear it down and then rebuild it so you can make sure all the connections are secure and nothing is binding. There is not a lot of space inside, and it's easy to bind the ribbon cable.
Good luck!
Hi, same thing happen to me. Could you fix it?
I find my Xperia X still very useful, I'm currently using another phone as my daily phone but I still use my XX to record audios from my practices (I'm musician) and video, because the quality is better than my daily phone's.
However, what got me tired was the fingerprint scanner. It's very inaccurate and fails to unlock the phone almost every time, and I find this very frustrating. I don't know if this happens because I have fat thumbs (LOL), the phone has some defect or there's a problem with the fingerprint/power button. Does anyone else have the some problem?
My real question is: may be possible to remap the power button so it acts only as a fingerprint scanner? Considering that we practically don't need a power button to turn the screen on... My current daily phone is a Honor 8, and I just love the fingerprint scanner in the back, which I use 98% of the time for turning it on and unlocking it at the same time. The thing is that the fingerprint scanner and the power button are not tied as in the XX. I think remaping the power button to act as a fingerprint scanner would give me more chances to try to unlock it before disabling the scanner after many attempts, because the screen would be actually off and it wouldn't be necessary to press the button everytime, it'd be only needed to put my finger on it.
It sounds really complicated I know, but if there's any chance, please tell me. Or, do you think ROMs like AOSP or Cyanogenmod would do this? I'd like to think so, but ufortunately I see poor development for the XX
My face Unlock works fine. Maybe a little too fine. I would like to actually see the lockscreen. Which I can't. Maybe I just want to have a glance at the time or notifications. I don't want my phone unlocking the moment I look at it. Maybe a neat little feature where it unlocks but still is a swipe away from going into the home screen / desktop. Right now the closest thing I can do to achieve that is hold the phone away or tilted just so that it doesn't detect my face which is weird. So help me out people. Is it just me or does anybody actually need this? Thanks.
