Xperia Mini/pro :: Touchscreen Not Working Correctly - Massive Dead Spots
May 28, 2012
My Xperia Mini Pro was fine, then one morning i woke up and the touch screen wasn't working correctly. It had massive dead spots which made things like flicking through the menus impossible, or selecting button that were in a certain place. The weird thing is I think these dead spots are random and change around. Also it would feel like was getting an input from other parts of the screen at the same time, like as if somelse was touching it too.
For example it would keep doing that overview of all your widgets randomly. The problem isn't as bad as it was originally, but is still very unusable. I did some service tests to give you an idea of what was going on. I tried the tests like 30 seconds after each other, and one had a clear dead spot and the other completely fine. It seems totally random. I've tried repairing it with PC Companion, everything is set to how it was when I bought it, and still that had no affect.
as of today my phone has dead spots on the touch screen where it will not read my touch at all. and the other spaces that will react slower. is there anyway to resolve this without having to go back to verizon and getting it replaced....for the 5th time?
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
Yesterday i saw i had a text message and wanted to read it. When i slid to get lock of half way it stopped, flickered and got back in begin posistion.Since then i cant use my touch screen. Battery removing and such doenst work. Cant do a repair cause cant use my touchscreen to get in required usb modus.
touchsceen on my Xperia mini pro is not working so when I power the phone on i get to lock screen and thats it. I want to perform factory reset to find out whether its software or hardware problem, but how to do it, when I can't select factory reset in the menu. how to get into recovery mode, but none of them worked.
I plugged my x10 into my Macbook Pro with Sony Bridge for Mac installed and the touchscreen suddenly stopped working. When I unplugged the cable the touchscreen remained unresponsive but then after a while it became responsive for half a minute before going off again. All this time the phone keeps telling me I've got new email coming through but I don't know where that email is. Now I'm getting texts but I cannot read them.
How can I get my touchscreen to work again? This appears to be a software problem? Can I read or export SMS messages without using the touchscreen?
I would erally need to back up my SMS if I need to wipe the phone but so far have not found a way to do this. I have never updated the system of the phone so I assume it's still in the original factory OS.
Just recently noticed that my data consumption was getting higher and higher, it started 2 days ago that now my e-mail app is consuming 1.65 GB of background activity and I have received a SMS from my data supplier that I have used 90% of my capacity for this month! Also this is draining up my battery like crazy , in less than 1 hour my battery went from 100 to 55 ... My cellphone model is SK17A. Could it be for the ICS update?
I updated my Z3 Dual to 5.1.1 Build 23.4.A.1.200 (Hong Kong) a few days ago. I found that my touchscreen has some "dead zones" when playing games or typing on the keyboard, mainly a vertical line about 2cm from the left of the screen and also a bit on the lower right.
I wonder if this is software related? I have already tested the touchscreen using YAMTT.
today my X10 black running on android 2.1 firmware suddenly dead. I was on a call and suddenly the touchscreen is not responding at all. I can not get it to silde to unlock or what so ever. I've tried take out the battery to turn it off and switch it back on. I've also tired to connect it with my computer with the sony software to repair it. But none of those work. The touch screen seems to respond once after i touch it thirty or forthy times. But still i have no way to silde to unlock the phone. Is that means my phone is brick or just the touch screen is broken
Over the past couple of months, my iPhone 3GS has had dead spots on the left side of the screen, preventing me from using the r, d and x keys, the number 4 and the semi colon and comma keys.Just a note; I can't put my phone to sleep or turn off as my lock button isn't working, so I'm using the AssistiveTouch settings.
I have a problem when I open the keyboard...the touchscreen died!the rest of the funcionality still working perfectly, but the cant do anything with the touchscreeny help on this please???I have to take off the battery and restart the phone to make work again, but I cant open the keyboard cause it will break again the touchscreen
I have a problem with my z2 with dialer app which is not working correctly. When I try to dial either by manually entering phone number or choosing from contacts or choosing form history...it's not working for the first time. When I tap once again it works. Then I can call anyone without problem but after changing app or returning to main desktop situation happens again.
I have a Sony Ericsson X10 mini and my problems stared last week. The phone was really slow, and just unlock the phone took 1 minute! Few hours after that the Touchscreen didn't respond and the buttons didn't work, just the lock button, and when I try to power the phone off it just come 3 alternatives Quiet mode, Flight mode and shut down, but I can't get further it just ends there and i waited 1 day to empty the battery and to update it, and i just can't update it because i can't get to the menu and put it in USB mode and the back button don't work so what should I do?
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've had this problem for more than two weeks now. The touchscreen is not responding at all. Before I give it to the Sony Service Centre for repaiir, I need to take the backup of contacts.
Is there any official solution to my newly bought xperia mini st15i? Its brand new but when i plugged to charge or to connect to pc, suddenly the touchscreen become abnormal or unstable. How can I fix this? and when i see my SI 1246-7912 and found out that theres no available ICS update for this device even if i connected and try update using latest PC Companion still no update..
Is there any safe or official fix for these problem with my new st15i?
I've just started getting a problem where a certain area of the touchscreen doesn't register the input. For instance, I cannot get the letter "d". As I move my finger very slightly I will get either "s" or "f", but not "d" inbetween. However if I hold down and slide across, the d will register, at least sometimes. Surprisingly I have problems with the same letter in either portrait or landscape mode, which is a different place on the keyboard.
With this, it's hard to play some games, like Fruit Ninja.
With a MT tester app, when I move my finger fast, it acts like my first finger was the second. Is it a hardware or a software issue? It was on GB, and yesterday I upgraded to ICS, and it is too.
I am an addition to that list wherein the touch of my phone has gone completely dead. Have tried the repair option via the PCC but that has not helped. Rebooting multiple times has had no impact. Although the soft keys on the phone still operate but the touch has become completely unresponsive.
After using the HTC sensation for almost a month. I have observed the following issue which only HTC can answer.
1) Random Reboots 2) Touch Screen unresponsiveness (Rather a dead screen)
Most of the people complain about the touch screen being unresponsive. Whereas for me the touch screen goes dead and I have to do a hard reset every time the screen goes dead.
My Xperia Mini Pro is totally dead after getting caught in rainstorm, I've tried various things to dry it out, but nothing has worked and the phone is totally dead.
I rinsed my phone under the tap today because someone got chocolate icing on the screen. I didn't submerse it in water and i haven't dropped it. I simply ran it under the tap for no more than 5 seconds then dried it on my shirt and now the touchscreen doesnt work.
I made sure the flaps were closed and i've checked the indicators, on both sides they are yellow/white and not pink.
I'm trying a repair through the computer as restarting the phone has done nothing.
After I update my xperia pro to ICS when I run the games the touchscreen not working but when I close the mobile and open it again touchscreen working fine for some minutes and back don't work again I have already done software repair and factory data reset after upgrading to ICS but still having the problem.
I use Xperia Z2 and SCR10 cover. There is a protective glass, but problem was before I started to use that glass. A firmware is the last 23.4.A.1.232, but problem began earlier (about two months ago).
During a phone conversation the cover Scr10 is closed, the screen is switched off (no lighting). But a touchscreen is still working, and by my ear I press the buttons on the display (lighting of screen is turned off!!!), I start programs, I open the top bar, I come into settings (most often in power management, because battery is on center of top bar), etc.
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.
