i am having problems with my touch screen on my other wing there is no respone at all. can anyone help at all?
did you flash a custom rom? have you tried a hard reset? the same thing happened to me when i first turned on my wing i had to hard reset and its happened after flashing a new custom rom also just reflashed the rom and all was good, also iv heard that the touch screen can just go out then you have to replace it, but i dont know much about that
Do you have a screen protector on? The last time I put one on, I had pushed the edges of the protector under the edge of my phone. The result was my touch screen would not work.
Hello there, this is the order of the day...
Just when I'm about to sell this phone (going for an Inspire) which has gave me a great service -but for the bootloader issue- this morning when I wake up, I tried to unlock the screen and no reponse.
Last night I just leave the phone on the desk and remain untouched, no damage no nothing, just the touchscreen stopped responding.
I just did a factory reset through the recovery console since I can not access the software and it seems to not help. Still no touch screen.
The phone is pristine, was rooted but not further mods and still with eclair.
Is there anyway to determine whether this is a hardware problem or software problem?
How to unlock the screen using the keyboard or buttons combination?
Is there any common hardware issues related with the touchscreen on this phone? Since it has the slide thing I assume it might have few but I barely use the physical keyboard so I'm lost.
Any help/input highly appreciated.
Has anyone had issues with their Z3 compact screen becoming unresponsive to touches? This happened to me last night even after hard shutdown via power button + volume up key.
My phone is encrypted so after restarting, I was stuck at the code unlock screen but the touch screen was completely unresponsive. After a few more hard shutdowns, a few hours off and alot of cursing, the touch screen finally started working again as if nothing was wrong.
Any ideas guys? I don't want to send this phone in if this was a one time thing, but I'm afraid it won't be the only time...
I guess I'm the only case of this happening?

It can occur for lots of reasons
This can be only software lag instead of touch panel problem.
and even 3rd party app can freeze your phone like this.
anyway the possible solution and way to understand if it s software or hardware problem is to repair firmware by PC companion
:good:

The reason I don't think its software related is because after the reboot my phone goes into the device encryption unlock menu right away. This menu theoretically should have little to no software loaded at this point, yet it still didn't response to touch. Now, I did recently downgrade from the latest UK ROM to the next available U.S. ROM. Not sure if that may have affected anything...
No more problems yet though...

Was the phone wet? Water can mess with the capacitive screen but shouldn't still be a factor after drying it with a rag. I'm assuming you realized this already, but doesn't hurt to double check.

Screen is not the issue… its the system

My Z3 do this too.. i dont know what to do
Same here. Happend 5 minutes ago and since no response from the phone -.-"
I hope it settles itself again.
Edit:
Now it works again. Strange behavior
I just returned my Z3c because of a touch screen malfunction. But in my case, it wasn't unresponsive, it just went nuts. It located taps at totally different spots from where I was touching, so typing, scrolling, etc. just was impossible. Luckily, this state only lasted for a couple of seconds up to a minute max, but occurred several times a day. Phone now exchanged for the "big" Z3 (due to arrive tomorrow), hope it hasn't the same issues.
I have found the reason my phone was unresponsive. I disabled some apps through adb, one of them seems to have caused the issue (dunno which though).
So I just restored the phone using the pc companion and since then no unresponsive touch screen.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
Z3 Compact top half of touch screen not working
The top half of the screen of my Z3 Compact doesn't register any touches anymore. The bottom half is OK.
The phone wasn't dropped or anything. I did a repair with PC Companion and nothing, still the same....
Sigh!
hello, well the same thing is happened to me but my phon is z3 dual, this happened just before hour ago
Any solutions ..
I've just bought it about 2 weeks ago
I have the same problem, the touch is not responding and I can't use the phone since yesterday.
did reset by buttons and also by that yellow reset button and still nothing, it powers on but I am stuck when it asks me to enter the PIN code, because the touch is not working.
Anyone got a solution for that?
Which apps you have disabled on adb and say cause that issue?
Same trouble over here. Experimenting this unresponsive touch panel since today, several hours without working at all. I just blocked some boatware apps, but this should not affect touch panel, right?
Just restored the whole phone using official from Sony PC Companion software. It remains the same trouble with touch panel.
Today, in house, we put the phone under tap water just a blink. Do you think this could have damaged the device, though is water resistant? Do you know where are the humidity sensors, that could have change? Thank you for helping!
