I'm mostly satisfied with my Z1, but I frequently have a weird problem.
The touchscreen on the Z1 just goes crazy; it touches everywant it wants or touches wrong place.
My friend had a simliar problem with his Z Ultra and it got better when he took the infamous anti shatter flim out, so I tried that too, but it got worse.
Sadly, Sony service centers had no idea why it was happening.
Uhh... it makes me tired soooo hard.
unfortunately its a common thing but how much it does varies. I'm on my second phone and it doesn't do it as much as the first one did.
well i experience it sometimes.. cleaning the screen works for me and swiping apps from recent
put a new film (a good quality one) ASAP. my xz1 also goes crazy without ASF

I assume that you can edit a file to turn down the touch on the Z1 just like the Z-U. have a search in the Z-Ultra forum, I think the fix was posted by @hamdogg
Yeah like some other people said, clean the screen, finger oil/grease easily makes screen go mad, an example is if i play a game and the joystick on the screen just doesn't want to co-operate
Curious, it only happens occasionally when I plug in the magnetic charger. I foxed it by using the disable dock module on xposed framework.

I'm not sure if this is a common problem across all touch screen phones or just the xperia but I find that if I get any moisture on the screen it becomes absolutely useless. If my hands get a bit sweaty the unlock screen just trips out and goes nuts, does anyone else have this issue?

Does anyone else have this issue? Primarily my umm.. My Home and Back button are really worn, like they're losing their gloss/silver finish and are now turning black, I am not sure if this has ever been addressed, but is there a way to buy replacement buttons or re-apply some silver marker ink on this to fix this? I know it's fairly trivial but still. It bothers me, like.. when a sticker starts to peel in just it's corner and kinda curl, it makes me want to rip the whole thing off, OCD maybe!? :silly:
You are not alone
I will be having my Xperia PLAY for a one year at the end of August, during this time I was always caring about it, placing it only on its back, never on its front/touchscreen. But about 3 months ago I noticed that the bottom of back key (about 1 milimeter wide, 2mm long) started to wear out. Also the bottom left corner of search key is worn out, the same thing with bottom left corner of the menu button. But these spots are only mili/micro ones. I don't really care about it.
I think its somehow "normal" if I can name it in that way.
Also I think it's possible to buy new keys but IMHO it's waste of money. I suggest you to deal with it as I did

I was thinking of doing the same, would be interesting, and yeah it would fit the phone's color scheme (at least mine) if it was all black.
I only had play for five months and it's already happening, my back button is wearing out.
This is probably the worst build quality phone I ever had. I love it so much, I wish the build quality and materials were better

Little black specs appearing on 4 hardware buttons on the front panel ... slightly annoying but no big deal as long as the buttons themselves don't wear out and stop working.
If possible though, I'd like to either replace them or have them totally black.
oh good, I thought it was just me
someone has to sell a replacement part for those keys right? has anyone checked ebay?

Is that case sturdy enough? I've owned some really horrible phone covers so far, one of which being Otterbox. They're not entirely bad, but the Xperia Play's versions are absolutely horrible, if you press the R or L button, it would slide off entirely. Trident cases are nice though, but they don't cover as much.
Mine are worn very well ...

Hi
I got my HTC one just under a week ago on three and I'm in love with it. But there are some things I'm worried about. One thing is that when I play games or plug the phone in charge the cool aluminum back becomes rather uncomfortably hot and makes me have to switch hands, it doesn't burn but it does irritate...
Secondly I've seen some posts about gaps at the top and I have those but I was wondering if anyone else has a very fine bulge of the plastic above where the usb port is? I don't know if this is a fault of my phone or it is a general thing so I don't know whether to ask for an exchange or not... If anyone wants pictures of the gap just say!

I can see it, i have excactly the same on my One, im just living with it though as everything else is soo perfect!
The only thing im worried about, is were that is, were the charger plugs in, the 2 little 'Catches' on the charger that hold it in rub on the white bit, in other words the hole seems to small, only slightly, i may contact HTC about this as im a little worried it will cause future problems like a Broken Charger or Charge Point etc. . .
Yeah that's exactly what I was worried about with the charger thing, if you do contact HTC let me know how it goes

Mine gets very hot too, I'm guessing that is a metal thing though, the gaps don't bother me or any slight overhang.
For me the issues are...
Blinkfeed
Heat
slow charging
home button is so hard to hit because it's small and in the corner
no battery percentage
no file search on the phone

Try a launcher or put blink feed to the side and disable all sources? The file search apps on the market do me fine but normally they put something on the battery so there is less heat transfer to one spot I n the metal but I don't think they've done that in the first batch :/ and mine charges pretty fine as well

I too have the overhang on the charging port. I have had two handsets (first one replaced due to gaps at top which moved when pressed) and its been on them both.
Second one has a slight dent/scratch in the white band, so ill wait another week (still in 28 days) and try and get another swap out. I do love the phone, battery life is immense, I'm getting about 2.5 days out of it at mo.
I have owned so many HTC phones it boggles the mind. In that time I have had to have 3 go in for repair. On stopped charging (one S) another had the wifi GPS glitch (one X international) and one just plain died one day to never turn on again (ATT one x+). All of these were taken care of by HTC. Can't say without issue, the international one X they scratched the case and took a little while to get a new one but in the end all my issues were taken care of. I would really say wait until HTC has resolved these issues and then they will take care of you 100%. You will need to be able to send the phone in for repair but they are fairly quick about 10 days total turn around time. They also didn't have any issue at all repairing a international phone at the USA HTC repair center something that is not true with Samsung.
Are you in the UK or America? Cus if you're in the UK I think I can get an exchange as well

I posted a question in regards to this on Q&A section of the forum but no one was answering my question. I went ahead and did a bit more research. I finally figured out the way to change the sensitivity.
I have seen people asking in the past about this so I decided to post it here.
Note: root is required unfortunately. You will need a root file manager in order to save the file after editing. (Es file Explorer works well for me and it's free)
First, if you are using Es file Explorer, you need to enable root explorer on the manu, then locate the file:
/system/usr/idc/max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc
Opened it as text, I chose to use Es note editor that came with the Es file Explorer
Under '# Touch Filter' you can see
'touch.filter.level = 2'
Change the number to higher to make the screen less sensitive and lower to make the screen more sensitive.
Save and restart the phone.

To clarify, this is to change how far your finger(s) have to be from the screen to be registered as a 'touch', correct? I've had an issue where my thumb would hover over a button and accidentally press it, more than a few times. If this fixes that then I guess I don't have to make a question thread of my own haha
What value did you end up settling on for sensitivity?
Dude. I thought I was going crazy. The screen is too sensitive on mine. A zillion times it would register a touch when my thumb hovered over it, sometimes a long press response. Glad to see I wasn't imagining it.

well sort of...I think it's related to how hard you need to press the screen as well, so I would call it sensitivity instead.
I had the same issue as you that's why I tried to figure out a way to make it better.
3 works fine for me, but you might want to change it to your liking. don't go nuts and set it to 10 or something. otherwise, you will have to press the screen really hard to get some a response.

Hmmm...Sorry I don't really know how to do that. I assume it's one of those parameters in that file.
It's also a good thing tho I'm thinking it's super sensitive so that a pencil could work. I use my pencil so often I thinks it's so cool and don't understand why Sony didn't advertise this pencil feature because it does work really well.

Not to me. If they want it to be a feature, at least give people an option to disable it. It really irritates me.
After playing around with the "touch.filter.level", I realised it makes NO improvement on the stylus...
My issue I have with the stylus is that when scrolling, it often registers a "lift" and "touch", thus selecting stuff inadvertently...
I need to reduce the touch area that registers a constant touch, like a scroll...
Anyone clued up with the other settings? SONY Devs?
UPDATE: I turned on GLOVE MODE in Settings-->Display and then changed touch.gloveMode.deflatePressure = 1 to 0.1. Working like a charm now.
My Z2 also has this hypersensitivity problem, it reacts without my thumb even touching the screen, just by getting close to it. This is extremely annoying.
I'm trying this to solve my problem, but the screen sensitivity doesn't change, no matter which value I put in the touch.filter.level, I tried from 0.1 to 50 and nothing changed.
Is this really a software problem? or is it a hardware problem?
Was this made on porpose by Sony? Because for me it is really annoying, the screen registers unwanted touches all the time and when i'm playing something, it also annoys me.
screen sensitivity is a Firmware issue with Xperia Z2. sony has said they are working on fixing in upcoming firmwares (it had a s at the end so this probably means that sony ment it wont ever be fixed... any time soon)
static can cause ghost touched with xperia Z2 to my experiance.
I also have the screen sensitive issue. Have tried to change some values from the file, but no effect. Finally, I've solved the issue by using a tempered glass

But the issue was still there . Tried to take off the screen protector, still the same s**. Then started the diagnosis and here it is??? How is that possible that screen protector do something like that?

My phone intermittently has the same issue, but horizontally in the middle of the screen.
Sometimes it works great and sometimes the touch just kind of lives its own life in that non-responsive area and makes touches all by itself.
I've made a video showing some of it when dragging lines like yours in an app called YAAMT. I could link to it later if there's any demand.
Right now my phone is in the repair shop for said issue. Not sure what they'll say, though, since it's an intermittent thing and they need to see it before they can confirm it...even though I've got the video. And sometimes the phone works great for days before the problem comes again.
To be clear, the screen protector did not cause this. Mine was like this out of the box.
I'll try to change my for new one. Now I tried to give you thx and had to touch it 3 times to make it work.

I have attached a screen shot of it now u can see...... So may be its just due to some lose connection internally which gets fixed by a drop or so (fingers crossed).... So its up to u people what u want to do( may be try a small drop) but i cant gurantee anything for u guys its up to u people i say again really i worked for me and i am happy for my phone now..........

Not so for me. I had it on the old build as well.
The repair shop exchanged the display and digitizer as well as the back glass on warranty. They also gave me complimentary screen protectors for both the front and the back since I had to wait two weeks for the repairs. It came back factory reset with the latest software update.
I've installed the protectors, and my phone is a totally different beast now. Incredibly responsive with all touches now. No more missed swipes, no more trouble typing and no more of the screen living it's own life.
In other words, in my book, this is clearly a hardware issue.
