when I'm reading web page, and I'm scrolling up or down, the tablet randomly ZOOMS right in to part of the page i'm on. Often to a section that I'm not even reading. Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
thanks, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about cuz it's driving me crazy!!
This happens to me sometime, all I can say is that the touch screen is too sensitive, I have to make sure that my finger doesn't stay on the screen to long.
Yeah the screen seems to have a sensitivity issue.
I'm just sayin!

Can't say it'a an issue, this happens to ipad and Samsung Galaxy tablet as well when I tried my friends' devices.When you get used to your device, this will happen less.

Hopefully this is the case. Then I'll less likely feel this is a problem isolated to my unit.

The Sony S is super sensitive to quiver-fast double taps and finger jiggles (that you may not know you are doing.) Pretty sure that you'll get used to it and, even without thinking about it, simply adjust your browsing method. Takes a day or so to get beyond it.
Well, I've got my tablet for a few months now and I think every day that this is a pain in the ass. Regarding this issue I love the ipad. Or my galaxy s. Neither of them have this issue.

Did you put a screen protector on the screen without removing the factory one? I did at first and was having the same issue as you. Couldn't even type a message because it kept double tapping letters i was trying to type and scrolling while browsing sucked.
I took off the one I put on and just have the factory one now and, though it still happens some times, it is definitely better than it was before.

Yeah I had to do this same thing. The extra screen protector desensitized the hell out of tablet S. I've taken it off and it's much better, but still double taps at times on 1 tap.

The salesman at the sony store put it on for me. So im not sure. I'd like to this he dd it properly.
I truly believe my tablet is defective. The problem I mentioned above plus horrible and slow scrolling, widgets disappearing, widgets freezing. Etc....
My tablet has been a lot better since I removed the protective film covering the screen. The cover was kinda thick. Now the colors are brighter and the viewing angle is better. I like the texture of the glass too.
I also don't notice the "ghost touches" that would happen right after I'd touch the screen, kind of like a double tap. Those were few and far between, but I've been enjoying my tablet sans protector enough, that this is just a bonus.
I'm not guaranteeing it, but this might fix your issue. You could also try replacing it with a thinner protector. My nook color's touchscreen was crazy without a protector, maybe this tablet is the opposite.
---
It also sounds like you could use a factory reset. I was having issues with my tablet being crappy and slow, and after doing a factory reset, freezing the unneeded apps (pretty much all of the Sony ones), disabling the media scanner, and applying the V6 supercharger script OOM values, my tablet has been pretty snappy.
I've been using the new Go Launcher HD home app in place of the default launcher which I froze (aka disabled the package).
Wait, there is a screen protector coming with the tab? I purchased the sony screen protector and put it on. So I've got two protectors on it?

Same with me, my tablet came with a free protector and the shop put it on for me. I am not sure if there is one already there as some insisted here but I have no sensitivity issue even if there are two screen protectors!
Yes it has a protector on it. It is very tough to keep the screen from getting cracked. To remove it, start at one of the corners with your fingernail. I used the bottom rounded corners to start. At first the screen will feel a little rough, but that's from the adhesive. Clean it with sone electronics spray and a microfiber cloth.
I like mine better with out it. The screen feels like glass now instead of plastic.
Yes..the tablet comes with a screen protector preinstalled which you can see if you look closely at the edge of the screen.

Here's a thread with pictures and info on how to remove the factory screen protector...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501144
screen protector
I have the same touch sensitivity problems on my Tablet S (16GB WiFi) purchased in Singapore. Frequent hypersensitive touch behavior leading to random zooming and double taps, 'stickiness' in scrolling menus etc.
I read about the factory installed screen protector here on XDA but was unsuccessful in removing it...couldn't even get the edges to come off. Went down to the local Singapore Sony Service center and asked them to take a look at the hypersensitive touch issue...and what do you know...I couldn't reproduce it on the spot. Tried for 15 min, but the tablet behaved perfectly during the period . Couldn't convince the service tech that something was wrong.
Anyway, i asked them to remove the factory supplied screen protector and they said it should NOT be removed since it's not merely a protector, but a necessary part of the display for improving color reproduction and decreasing glare. Don't know if he was BSing me, but I left it at that. Note the image on this official website under the 'Sony’s amazing TruBlack™ display' section...
[EDIT: Looks like I cannot post a URL as a new user. Please check the Sony Singapore Tablet S official website]
I bought the official Sony screen protector (matte type) and had them install it. The sensitivity is much better now and the frequency of random zoom and double-tap has decreased drastically; but it's still there and pops up occasionally.
I am unsure of what to do next. Could it be a software issue? Among the browsers, I notice that it is most prominent/frequent in Opera Mobile. Occurs less frequently in the stock browser.
Today, I noticed that we have a possibility to set the sensibilty in our settings. Just go to input help (probably not the correct word... mine is german. It's the setting with the hand as a symbol). Within, there is a setting called something like touchscreen gestures. My tablet was default set to short. I changed it and now I don't experience the zoom issue anymore.

It's Touch n Hold Delay under Accessibility and default setting is Short.
I have no screen sensitivity problem on my tablet with extra screen protector on (I'm not sure if there is one factory installed on my tablet until today) so this function is useless to me
Hmm it seems that the touch and hold adjustment worked for me so far. Nice find!

I had a bunch of requests for Wave Control to have this functionality. I thought it best to do a dedicated app so here it is!
Flip Case Control was designed to work with Samsung's Flip Case on the I9300 while using as little battery as possible. (I left it running all night ~8.5 hours and the battery dipped 1% more than usual)
IMPORTANT: If your case is black or dark on the inside, the sensor doesn't read correctly when the case is closed. To fix this, put a piece of light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor (located next to the front camera)
Note: A Samsung based ROM is required. CM won't work well.
Here's a demo video:
Play Store Links:
24 Hour Trial Version
Full Version
Could you guys with the Flip Case test it out?
All feedback is appreciated greatly!
I would like to try it for you but unfortunately i don't have flipping cover for this lovely device as it is not here yet everyday im searching everywhere but nothing
Waiting OP to give us their opinion about this app

There shouldn't be but it is conceivable that if the case surface facing the proximity sensor is black and absorbs too much of the IR from the LED on the prox sensor then it wouldn't register a near reading.
The proximity sensor is an IR LED and light sensor. It detects distance by the amount of IR light that get reflected back off the surface in front of the sensor.
If this is the case, you could try to put a piece a light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor.
Let me know if this works. What's brand of your case?

Are you running the full version? I limited that function to that version. Great to hear the tape fix worked

It works OK at the moment, I think the sensitivity should be decreased though as something passing an inch or two above the proximity sensor will still turn off the screen. Seeing as flip covers get up close and personal with the proximity sensor this seems a bit too sensitive.
EDIT: Definitely too sensitive, seems to turn off at random at times. Just had a phase where it wouldn't let me keep the screen on.
Maybe a failsafe of sorts could be implemented? Leave the screen on until timeout/power button press if turned on by the power button?
Edit 2: I uninstalled the app to stop it turning the screen off constantly, but it continued even after a reboot, I went into the display settings and saw the screen timeout had been changed to "()"and this was causing the issue, as soon as I changed it back to 30 seconds it was fine. Is this supposed to happen?

Ah.. crap. I thought I fixed that bug before I released it. I guess there's still a way for that to happen.
I'm working on an update to help filter out false triggers and will patch that bug. It shouldn't happen. Sorry.

Proximity Autolock is a nice app with some excellent features but uses too much battery on The Note 1, an additional 8% overnight. And it doesn't work well on my Note 2.
The app works well. I bought it
It's a very useful feature that Samsung should have built in, but hey, I don't mind supporting you.

I agree Samsung should have made this app. When I first showed it to a friend, he said "Isn't it already supposed to do that?"
A Beta
Here's what I'm playing with right now.
It should hopefully fix the bug D3_ ran into as well as reduce the false triggers. There will still be some due to sensor placement but this should make it much less sensitive. Also response time to turn on the screen should be a little bit faster. It's working well on my I9300, hopefully it should be the same on the Note II.
Let me know if this is performing better for you guys.
Still coming:
Disable in Landscape Mode
Disable when plugged in
[Edit: Removed Old Beta]
Just installed the beta, will report back after some use of it.
V1.05
Just uploaded version 1.05 to the Play Store
Changes:
Reduced false triggers for screen off
Changed button UI
Added notice about dark cases
Updated icon
Sped up screen on response a little bit
Cant you just do this using Tasker? I already spent money on the flip cover, so kinda hesitant to spend more for this functionality (which should be there in the first place!)

I've been looking at these, launching in November.
I'm really in 2 minds about them though.
I don't generally buy cases & hate all the flapping about to answer calls etc.
What are you guys thoughts on the smart cover?
I don't usually like these type of flip covers. However, the official flip covers for the Samsung S5 were great. Really good build quality, and a nice feel to them.
It's hard to be able to make a judgement when the case isn't released yet, so I'll be waiting to see some more photos and reviews before shelling out on one of these, as they're hardly a budget offering.
Looking at a couple of videos on YouTube, it looks like these cases will attach with a kind of adhesive? I'm yet to be convinced.
Not a fan.. The flap is always there which is the problem with these in my opinion.
I decided to buy one of these cases.
Let me tell you right now... I hate cases. I've never had a case for a single one of my devices.
However, I was a little annoyed at how scratched the rear of my Xperia Z became.
Been using this case for a few days now & it's great.
It doesn't attach to the case in the normal way, it 'sticks' to a large strip on the inside rear of the case.
I've removed & replaced the phone numerous times & it's had no effect on the stickiness of the strip at all.
There's no side protection to the case so it's not going to give much on the side of impact protection if dropped.
The style window is awesome though.
You can set multiple lock screen widgets to it to flick through when closed. Closing with screen on switches to style window widget for a few seconds & opening unlocks the screen.
Text notifications are shown on the window & incoming calls can be answered by swiping the window without opening. If a call is placed on the phone the case can be closed with caller id & swipe to hang up on the style window.
The case can be folded behind easily & there's access for all buttons & flaps & can also be placed on magnetic charging dock while closed (included with the case is a dock adapter for case width).
Swiping the camera icon on the window or holding the camera hard button down allows to take pictures while showing camera preview on the style window without opening the case.
Playing music is also shown on the style window with track buttons.
The slimness adds next to nothing on phone thickness.
I'm quite impressed with it tbh.
Is that the only official case available to buy? Or is the wireless charging cover for sale now too?
I just bought one of these cases and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Couldn't find one for sale in Canada so I bought from the UK. I had one like this for my LG G2, but it snapped on the back. The quick window is a necessity for me.

It does attach with a large sticky pad.
The phone comes off easily leaving no residue on the back of the phone.
I've removed the phone numerous times & it's had no adverse effect of the stickiness of the pad.

Hi, i have one if these but cant read text messages in the window as you are supposed to be able to do. I can see a notification but have to open the cover to read it.
U did the NFC thing and downloaded and set the theme, the box is ticked in the read notifucation in the security settings.
Did you have to do anything extra to read texts in the window?
Thanks.
I don't see the contents of messages either, just message alert.

Will do.
So I bought this Case from Sony directly in Copper.
It shines a bit so it looks a little gay.
For the rest I can confirm what the others said. It is small so your phone won't get that much thicker.
The smartwindow function is pretty cool.
I wish there would be a magnet to keep it closed and have it more straight on the phone because sometimes you have to press the case a little more on the screen to get the touch responsiveness.
I am very happy with it.
I bought the DK48 Dockingstation too and will add details on how it fits with the case when I got it.

I too got mine today (quite mad for Sony to have kept us waiting this long - and given the two day delivery, Amazon has clearly got these from elsewhere in the EU so they're probably STILL not on sale in the UK officially yet).
I got mine in copper, to match the phone. Let me just say this - DON'T GET COPPER! It is indeed quite shiny and actually looks quite tacky, but having waited so long I decided to unpack it and set it up, so I guess I'm stuck with it.
If you have the copper phone, I'd say go for black. It will contrast nicely and look a whole lot more professional. This case looks like something you'd get from a market.
As has been said elsewhere, including YouTube video reviews, the cover doesn't sit flat unless it's flat on a desk - and even then it raises up a bit because there's no magnet or sufficient weight in the front cover to hold it down.
I downloaded the app and basically it's just like a lock screen with the usual lock screen widgets. No major problem there, and from the home panel you can also launch the camera in a mini view - but it also takes 4:3 pictures and doesn't let you change modes. I assume it uses the superior auto mode, but it doesn't say if it detects the scene or anything. Frankly, just use the normal camera button if I were you.
It also comes with a new dock insert, which is good. You keep the cover closed when it's docked, unlike the Roxfit flip cover (that also acts as a stand, which this does not because it's glued on the back of the phone) and when it's docked, the cover falls forward a bit - which isn't exactly helping stop it gradually getting looser and looser. And I used a Daydream 'screen saver' on the phone before, to show a clock and weather. It still loads, but as you might have expected - it doesn't resize and is now useless. There's no Xperia Daydream mode so the best thing I've found so far is Timely and using that to show the time/date.
As for the way it's stuck on the back.. I removed my rear film protector as I didn't want that peeling off with the cover - but even now it doesn't feel like a rock solid adhesion. If I dropped this phone, would it realistically hold in the case? I expect not and most likely it will fly off if you did drop it.
Worse still, if I want to take it out of the case then how many times will I be able to re-stick the case to the phone before the glue has all gone? There's no way to change this, so are you supposed to just bin it and buy another one? To me it seems like an insane way to connect to the phone. Why not the usual grips around the edge? To keep it thin? That could come at a huge cost.
Anyway, despite all the negativity I've just pointed out, it's quite nice to have the window showing key info at a glance (and to finally turn the screen on/off by opening the cover) - but you do still need to open the cover to do anything beyond seeing a notification or info on a widget (e.g. BBC News headlines). Given how few are likely to sell, don't expect loads of developers to be queuing up to modify apps to show through the small window either. What you get now is probably what you'll ever get.
That said, if anyone does find any other good apps/widgets that work well with this cover then please do post here. I can't help but feel this case will drop in price fairly quickly.
Edit: Another thing; when a call comes in, you can answer from the window - but with the cover on the proximity sensor obviously can't work. Thus you can't get the screen back on (it had gone off on mine, presumably after the usual timeout) without opening the phone, or using the power button.
I got this case the other day and so far I have mixed feelings. I like how thin the case is but I don't like that there is plastic in the window. I had an LG G2 quick view case on my last phone and the window was empty. This made using the screen with the cover closed a lot easier. Also the window plastic gets very dirty.
Lastly, my biggest complaint is that when you have the front flap open and flipped around to the back it covers the camera. So with this case you can only take full screen pictures with the case hanging open. This may seem minor but I feel like it is these little oversights that make a big difference. I really expected more from a Sony made case.
For the widgets, Zooper Widget shows up in the list so you can use that to make a lot of interesting widgets. Also Media Utilities. I have also found that Plex, Yahoo Weather, podcast addict and hoopla widgets work in the window.
"The first time you use Style Cover Window SCR24, you establish a connection to your Xperia™ Z3 and get the opportunity to download dedicated smart window widgets and apps. This makes it possible for you to decide exactly what happens when you open and close the cover. Customize and enjoy smart window functions the way you want them".
Get the opportunity? Hm...
Where to get it?
I did not discover any widgets and apps on Google Play . Only themes...

If interested, not sure if Amazon UK have made a mistake, but the smart view case is on for just over £10, currently only the black version is available to order but not due until next week.
of course ordered one as have used the one for the mate 10 pro and find its a good case

mine finally arrived today, enquired why when it was on prime delivery it took 3 days after dispatch to arrive, and they advised depends where it was at time of order, so they gave me an extra months prime for the delay
but as with the mate 10 pro case, it well worth the price
So am I right in thinking always on display doesn't work with the half of the screen that is visible through the case?

i don't use always on display
Does it offer any camera protection or is it flush with the camera?

Yep it's strange, what's the point in having a clear section when 2 seconds after closing the case, the AOD turns off?
Seems like a software fix is required on this as it seems to defeat the purpose of the case design.

because you can see anyone calling and answer or dismiss them, see alarms and cancel these.
True but the marketing images shown certainly give the impression that the screen will be displayed with time/notifications etc, not be there briefly for 2 seconds and disappear.
Agreed, great case but having the aod stay on, umm, always would be great
If you close the case, then hit the power button, the AOD will stay on. Only just discovered this, so not sure how long it stays on for - it's been 3 minutes so far... I've set the screen sleep to 10 minutes, so it might go off then. Not sure how I set the screen not to sleep at all, as it wasn't an option in the settings?

It only stayed on for about 5 minutes, which isn't really that useful. That is a bit of a design-flaw in the software. The AOD works fine with no flip cover, but becomes Sometimes On Display when used with the flip cover. Not the end of the world, but annoying. I'm trying some 'screen always on' apps to see if they can help, but so far, no joy.
Did somebody find a solution to this problem?

problem to your issue is, you gota enable feature called allways on display notification. When that is enabled it will adjust it's display to show on side at right or whever the window/transparent box is.

Yes it does that, BUT after about 5 seconds the display goes off, until you either open the case or press the power button. IMO the display should stay on in the little window to the right.
Just had mine delivered.
Cover doesn't settle flat on the screen. I suspect it may be because I have a tempered glass screen cover (Spigen).
I like the case (looks smart) but I'm not convinced I want to take the protector off. Will see if it settles over the next few days.
Similar issues here, when closing the case the screen goes off.. If I power it on then it stays on for the 2 min duration where the "auto screen off" is set. I'd expect that to be overridden by the "always display information" setting. And it seems to work perfectly well without the case attached / kept open.
I have also removed the screen protector which was on when I got it, seems redundant now I have a case, and attracts a lot of fingerprints too... but that has made no difference.
Really disappointed this doesn't work.. had smart cases on the last couple of HTC's and this looked like a step up, but in fact it does less, as the notification range is more limited.
I wonder if the case covers the sensor.. because if I let the screen go off with the case open, then the screen stays on correctly..

Yeah, as another poster states, this is not true. I have AOD on and the display still goes off when case cover is closed. Very annoying. Guess I'll be returning this case.

I ordered the same phone and case.. mine have not arrived yet though
I did see on my wifes P20 pro, there is a separate toggle for the smart view case that needs to be turned on. Is that option on?

Yeah i have it on !
What it does is when its on when you close the cover it turn off the screen and display the time and when you open the cover the screen turn on*
but if you turn it off nothing work when you close the cover so the option work as intended
i also tried disabling touch disable mode that prevent the phone to perform action when in pocket but no luck
same issue in this post with huawei mate 10 pro but no answer since may 2018 :/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/mate-10-pro-display-smart-view-flip-case-t3719751
Just saw this video and it seems to happen to this dude i can't understand to what he say but i think its not a problem its designed to be that way....
Its so frustrating because i alway listen to music via my phone and when music is playing i have the cover on, the phone display the music control for 10sec and it dissapear so useless :'(
Same problem here!
It's not going to stay on, without the case closed and AOD on cover all the sensors on the notch with your hand and the AOD will turn off, there is no way to keep it on with the case shut. I found this out with my P20 Pro last year.
I got sick of this cover after 10 seconds due to the case covering the notification light, blurry front view window and AOD switching off after 10 seconds. At first I thought the ambient light sensor being blocked by the case was the problem (the sensor which is an inch to the right of the earphone speaker, which determines whether or not your phone is face down, or in your pocket/bag in order to switch the screen/AOD off to save battery) so I took a knife to the cover to see if that helped. It didn't. Even after cutting a section of the case out and exposing the ambient light sensor it still doesn't keep AOD on. I have attached a photo in the link below of my butchered cover for comedy purposes

It's by design, cause in the Smart View window the content does not move like full-screen AOD without the cover. So without moving the content it's going to burn-in, and therefor AOD is not implemented in Smart View.

LOL... now you have double window flip case
I have an issue where sometimes the smart cover doesn't activate when I have an incoming call and I would have to flip the cover open to answer call. How can I fix this problem
Just got my mate 20 pro and that cover. Sucks to have no clock. It works on the P20 Pro. So much for burn in...
Hi, same boat like you guys. Hope that 9.1 is magic but I don't think so

Lets hope so. I changed to a silicon case + screen protector for now. I really want that AOD.
