THX

I also have this problem, if you have sorted this can you let me know how you went about this.
Thanks, tjpearson
i have a link to video on Yt.Pm me
i have no permission to able link from outside forum.
Thanks for reply
That would be good, I've mailed you.
If and when I repair this phone I'll create a slide show with instructions, already done that for a few gadget repairs.
The latest is detailed view on how to solve the A/C cut out with Compaq Presario R3000 if anybody is interested, saved me £300 plus doing it myself.
Help is what these forums are all about.
I have the service manuals with lots of pics and details to fix neo. I don't know if I can upload them here. Maybe you can find help in those. Google them or pm me your email if you need them.
I actually have the manual as well, devrruti but sadly it doesn't provide much info on how to stick the touch screen back to the frame, only tells us to use something like a "pressure tool" set at 60N and press the touchscreen towards the frame.
But we don't have that kind of tool so there must be a workaround...
DO NOT try to change the touch screen yourself, unless you first find a way to safely detach the touch screen from the front face body of the Neo.
I tryied myself and have not yet managed to separate the two things, it seems it is glued or something like that.
If anyone finds out the way to pull it off, please let me know.
I managed to find a similar guide, but for the Xperia Play. It's a different device, but it's probably based on the same principals. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-Sony-Xperia-Play-Digitizer/7593/1 ... BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS!
I managed to disassembe the device. The problem that I have now is that I cannot prevent dust from getting in between the lcd display and the touch screen glass at the moment I connect them back.
Any ideas? any practical recipe to avoid dust?
Hello dear XDA Devs,
Is there a fix for screen ghosting (random touch input) for a ZU? Mine often goes crazy if i have warm hands and come near to my device whith them. Same happens if i breath a little bit on the display.
Water marks are white and the device has Root + Locked bootloader
Thanks and Greedings

Firstly try to clean the screen without any stain or greases...
Try to tweak the sensitivity by changing the figure in /system/usr/idc/max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc (touch.filter.level = 5)...
Try to play around to get the best for ur device...
BTW white water marks due to water damage device??

This device has no water damage, that's what i wanted to say . Because of touch.filter.level: Sorry that i didn't sayed that i already tryed this whith best results @ 7, which is too high for a pen input, but the device doesn't go crazy that often.
Yesterday i've seen that you can fix this on Nexus 4 by reisolating a cable. If this is the case on ZU i'm gonna send it in for Warranty.

Better just send back to Sony...
I'm facing similar problems with my ZU =/
After I've tried to replace a protective skin for my display, the phone started to present ghost touching. I mean, a LOT of ghost touching. As my warranty expired a few months ago, I sent the phone to a private maintenance and now they want to replace the whole screen.
Do you think I'll have to replace the screen or maybe there's a way out of this? Here in Brazil, replacing the screen can be as expansive as buying a new phone (and I must confess that I'm tempted to forget about my Z Ultra and buy a Z2), so if I could fix this in some another way... well, that would be terrific.
Thanks in advance!

maybe this will help. Its the Fix i found for the Nexus 7
I started to have a lot of that Phantom touches after taking off my aftermarket screen protector. **** was so annoying. I still have the anti shatter film but don't want to mess with that crap so I installed another screen protector and everything is normal again.
It has been 1 month since installing the new screen protector and no ghost touches.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Free mobile app
Well... I must confess that the idea of installing a new screen protector never occurred to me
I guess this could worth the shot, actually. Anyway, I've ordered a new display (got a really good price... way way cheaper than the official maintenance was charging), so if the new screen protector won't work out, I'll proceed to replace the whole display.
Hello people!
I just dropped my phone display first into the floor.
The only visible damage is a tiny arced crack at the right edge of the screen, but that was enough to screw up the whole touch screen because the phone seems to activate touch around the crack, which leads me to my first question:
1 - Is there a way to disable part of the touch screen?
I can live without touch in the area of the damage, just not without any working touch
2 - Is there a way to hardware test using a PC to evaluate the extent of the damage?
3 - Do I buy just the screen, the screen + LCD or screen + LCD + frame?
4 - How do I know which OEM of Ebay to buy? Can I trust the ones saying it's an original Sony Screen + LCD?
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I do believe there are more people out there with same or very similar questions.
HI,
I had craked my z2 screen twise
in my experience u need to replace the whole LCD screen .
i had craked my Z before, but for Z , the crak didnt affect other parts , you can use the phone , but for z2 no hope.

in this case no, Z2 LCD display is seperateed from the glass
you can weirdly find glass and screen put as one but thats some sort of odd scam :/

Thank you so much for giving me the answer I wanted to hear. Unfortunately I can't find any videos on how to do this for the Z2. Have you done it? I'm curious to know whether the display is allover glued to the digitizer as in the case of the Z1 or if it's just glued around the corners of the screen as in the M2. Mind you that this is simply observations I've made from watching youtube videos, so the above mentioned information might not be correct.
man, u cannot separate the display and digitizer . its a single glass. for Z2. u need to replace the single glass
You could try finding parts from aliexpress, try looking through the feedbacks before ordering.
Or if you are not too bothered by the cracks you could just put on a screen protector or a tempered glass screen protector.
Try going into youtube and search witrigs for teardown and repair videos.
Wish you good luck! ?

Hi guys,
My Screen cracked, i order a new screen. I install it right with instructions. LCD screen works about 1 minutes, but now the phone has so called ghost touches.
What might be a problem? LDC-screen is broken?

Yeah!
I did take a chance and purchased a new glass without display. Good news is I never got an opportunity to use it, so I might be able to return it. Bad new is I'm now buying a front glass and lcd.
Even though it might technically be possible to just exchanging the front screen, I would say it's highly improbable that you will successfully do so.
Judged by my level of technical tinkering, I would say that a vast majority of the people in this forum will probably fail in exchanging front glass without exchanging lcd.
I'm not saying this to put anyone down, but I'm giving you the advice I wish I would've gotten before getting over-confident.
So for goodness sake,
BUY FRONT GLASS+DIGITIZER+LCD, and save yourself both time, headache, and possibly money
Hi, i'm waiting for my Z2 replacement screen and i have a question for those who have changed it, does the sensitivity of the touch screen is the same like the original? I mean the option that you can use the phone with gloves...
Thanks!
How much did it cost u, repairing the screen

Yehh...nothing ..me to..
Being searching for weeks. Nothing. I also can not find a local guy to replace my digitizer
There is no teardown video for Xperia Z3 tablet compact, just for Z4 its the same you have to heat the front and take off the screen, take care with the screen. I just did it cause my tablet waa dead, disconnect the battery and its working now.
I tried to replaced my Z3 tablet cracked touch digitize but working tablet and ending up with a non functional tablet. It seem impossible to replace just digitize or LCD display, both LCD display and touch digitize glue fused together to keep thin.
Hope that help.
Cheers

lookup firmware version on settings->about and try updating the phone
connect it to a pc that has Sony PC companion and the software should recognize the phone as Sony Xperia Z2 (D6503/D6502)
also check the body of the phone see if its intact whether it looks like its been opened before or not
also test the weight of the phone on a weighing scale and check if it is exactly 163 g (5.75 oz) without screen protector i guess
check the internet for photos of Xperia Z2 the color you are buying and check the phone with the photos if they look like the same thats it
it is very unlikely to open z2 replace hardware and reassemble it you cant get away with that it will most definitely leave a mark
+ check the waterproof ability (coz thats important)
There are multiple ways of checking whether it's a genuine phone.
First of all waterproofness. You can check that by testing pressure sensor. Just Google for it and you will know how to do it.
Another thing is that the device model should be d6503/2, but this one may get faked easily.
So test the pictures. Take some picture in manual mode (20mpx) and check the resolution. The resolution should be over 5000x3000 and at least 5MB.
Under right flap there's additional information about the phone, you just have to pull it out.
Anyway, there are so many ways to check whether the phone is genuine.
If you only get an opportunity to hold it in your hand you will notice it.
But for me the waterproofness test (with pressure sensor) would be the main deal breaker. Fake phones aren't waterproof (or don't have pressure sensor).

Is pressure sensor an app?? if it is i have to install that on the z2 and check the pressure i guess..is there a standard pressure limit or amount of pressure that should exist in z2?? (Sorry to bother u..googled it but not so sure what to do)

NO need to install anything.
On the device, goto the phone app and type *#*#7378423#*#*
A new app will open. Go to Service Tests, and look for Pressure Sensor.
Make sure all flaps are closed. Apply pressure to the touch screen of the phone. If the device is air tight, the values on the screen should go up a bit, then fall to the starting values. If you stop applying pressure, the values should change again. If it does this, then it is air tight, and that also means it is water tight.

How can i make sure that it's bootloader was never unlocked???i don't want loose drm keys due to camera problem..

Whilst in the Service Menu, goto Service Tests, Security.
If the bootloader has never been unlocked, then it should show a bunch of lines of text, each ending with [Key OK][Active].
If the bootloader was relocked by restoring the TA image, then it should show the same thing as above.
If the bootloader was relocked without restoring the TA image, or is still currently unlocked, then it should be different from above.
