I've had the phone for about 2 weeks, and for some reason the touchscreen is unresponsive. I don't just mean it freezes, I mean that it won't even light up or activate. I know the phone itself is still functional as it recognizes that it's plugged in to a charger and It still vibrates and rings whenever I recieve calls or texts.
I've a one yr old xperia play. It worked fine until I installed Temple run few days back. My phone would not respond to the touchscreen when I try unlocking it, but it would respond once I slide the joypad, press power button once or twice etc. But after few days, this became worse and now even the Home button became unresponsive.The current situation is that I cannot unlock my phone as the touchscreen is not responding at all.
When this problem started, I had checked the running services to ensure whether there were any malicious programs taking up CPU usage. I could not find any.
Yesterday when I replace my live wallpaper with a static preinstalled wallpaper that definitely came from sony. My phone hangs then the wallpaper shows only black. Then my touchscreen didn't work. So I decided to soft reset my phone, but no use. I can't even unlock my phone because my touchscreen was unresponsive. I tried to hard reset it but I also can't even hard reset it. The notification bar is working properly but I can't pull it down to update my version because I saw in sony website that I have to update it.. But how if I can't connect my phone to computer because I can't tap the connect to phone in the notification bar.
I recently dropped my phone about 2 feet and the screen cracked a bit in the upper right-hand corner. The phone has been fine for about a week since the incident, no problems at all. Yesterday I noticed there was some slight bugginess with regards to the touchscreen. I turned it off then back on, and it began to be unresponsive entirely, so I put the phone away and ignored it for a minute. I try again and it works just fine. A few minutes later, the same issue happened again, but I had no luck just ignoring it. I am unable to unlock my phone at all. I can still navigate through the power options just fine using the d-pad. I tried connecting it to a computer and to a power source and had no luck with that either. The phone won't charge and won't mount on a computer.
I'v had my Xperia play for exactly a month, today, and just yesterday night I've encountered a problem where about 2/3s down from the top of the screen there a small area from the left side to the right side of the touch screen that doesn't respond. I can't use my Swype feature, and when I switch to the regular Android keyboard I can't hit the "O"button because of it's location (Area where the screen doesn't respond when its vertical or horizontal).
I've been doing some internet hunting and the closest name I've gotten close to is "dead zone"
i have a xperia mini, and suddently the touchscreen freezed!I can't turn my phone off, It won't charge or anything. I don't know what to do, and I can't live without my phone
I used my phone about 15 minutes ago. When I went to check the time it was off and now it won't turn on. Is their anything I can do to fix it or do I have to go out and get a new phone?
My xperia asked my if I wanted to update the software, I pressed yes then later on when that was done, a message popped up saying that another part of the update would turn the phone off for about 30 minutes or so if I remember correctly. Now it will not turn on again. When I hold the power button it just vibrates for about half a second then pulses. Like vibrates for half a second then waits another 3-5seconds the vibrates again etc.*It's not a charging problem the green light shows when it's fully charged and that still operates.*I think it is rooted. I gave it to a friend to do it he said he put some of the root items on their but couldn't fully do it.
After trying to charge what was left on the battery (10%) with my PC, the phone simply did not charge. Tried to use the charger but the power button doesn't even flash and the phone doesn't charge.
My Xperia Play decided to turn off out of the blue. it didnt fall or anything all i get is a vibration when i turn it on and that it its like the screen doesnt work im wondering is there anything i can do to fix it or is my phone also i only got the phone last january
I recently bought the Xperia play 4g but seems to have trouble connecting 4g. how to turn the 4g on so I could get access to the internet w/o having to use a wi-fi? I encountered the same problem with my mom's Samsung Infuse but figured it out. I just need to know how to turn the network data on in this thing
I was checking my phone one morning when it asked me to update, after that a message popped up saying that for the next update the phone had to be turned off for about 5 minutes. It never turned on again after that.I already posted a discussion notice about it not turning and the wonderful team member helped me and told me to flash my phone and try the updater. I've done both now and my phone is yet to turn on.I believe the flashing must of done something as now the LED light on the power button flashes red when I hold down it. But it still does not turn on.This has been really frustrating and the problem still continues to go on.Now when I try pc companion update service and hold the back button and connect the phone my PC doesn't recognize the device. Same message pops up if I just plug my phone in normally.
*I've been using the phone 2-3 months before this happened *I bought it online and cannot return *I really need help.
was playing angry birds this morning when my phone suddenly froze and shut down...not powering on since then. tried removing sd, charging using power charger, removed battery etc. nothing works.When i connect to my pc, it says 'USB Device not recognised and has malfunctioned etc.'cannot repair or update through PC Companion.
I got a blackberry storm from my friend about 2 weeks ago. When I got it, it worked perfectly, I personalized eveyrthing and I loved the phone. However, this week I was at work and I'm pretty sure the phone died. The red light stayed on, and when I was charging it in my car, it wouldn't hold a charge. It didn't turn on for 2 days, other than the white screen with the battery. I did a few battery pulls and left it plugged in. Now, it turns on when it wants to but the touchscreen realizes that my finger is there, but it doesn't click. What should I do? I took it to verizon and since I don't have insurance on it, they won't give me a new one.
Since this morning i experience the problem that when i switch my phone on i cannot use the touchscreen. No input is accepted. When i switch the phone off and remove the battery and then switch it on the problem dissapears...
My message notification tone used to play all the way thru when I received a message now it only plays two seconds then cuts off I have tried changing the tone but they are all the same.
had my play for a few months now and love it. However, when i play Battlefield two and attempt to use both touch pads to move about, the game freezes and locks up until i cease touching the two game pads. FYI, im using the stock launcher and i recently reboot the phone so the stock games were deleted. its a canadian phone on the Rogers network. Should i just bring the phone in?
Bought a SK17i about 1 year ago, I was perfectly happy.. Then after some time the touchscreen responded slower as normal. Helpdesk advised to do system update. Problem seemed solved, but returned after some time again. I removed pictures and movies and emptied out the inbox, phone worked normal. Last month it just failed on me, it just stopped working.. I get no respons from the touchscreen, tried recalibrating & system update & even hard reset ( advised by sony helpdesk) without result! When I slide it open to use the keyboard, the display flips and I can navigate with the arrows ect so the phone seems still fully functional except for the touch screen
I've been having this problem from the beggining and I really do not know what is the problem. I've tried different types of rom, i've removed the sim and sd card but nothing seems to solve the problem.After pressing the power button and the cpu gets out of deep sleep, touchscreen is not responding just volume buttons and power button. I have to keep press the power button until at some point the touchscreen responds.
Yesterday my Xperia started having what's described as the "ghost touch" issue.After shutting the phone down, nothing was looking better. At this point, when I boot up the phone, I can enter my sim-pin, start the camera by the dedicated button and touch objects to focus. I can also select things in the restart/shut down menu. However, the lock sceen is all but responsive. The fact that I have partial touchscreen functionality gives me the hope that the problem is software related rather than a hardware issue. However, since I can't get past the lock screen, it's also impossible for me to reboot the phone to factory settings.
My SONY Z3, only 20 days old, Brand New phone had suddenly stoped responding from the top part of screen, I cant dropdown the navigation menu on POTRAIT MODE but its operative in LANDSCAPE MODE,
Made all the efforts like... Factory Reset, Software Repair through PC Companion etc...
I have a Sony Z3 and out of the blue yesterday the touchscreen became completely unresponsive. I have restarted countless times (with power & volume up button), fully charged, given it 24 hours and have just tried a repair using Sony Bridge.
