what can it be its annoying too much problems in this device

Yes I see the patterns too when the screen is switched off. But I don't see how that can be construed to being a "problem"...

Recalibrate touchscreen?

Is there an app that will recalibrate the touchscreen? The corners of the, screen as well as the bottom above the 4 buttons is acting funny. I d press one place and it would think I am touching elsewhere. Cm6rc1

Standby for a second, then turn it back on and the problem goes away. It's a common problem, but I've never heard a real reason for it or found a pattern to when it happens.
There is no calibration for capacitive screens.

Just to clarify:
Standby means turning the screen off via the top button right?

Yes, just hit the power button, or as my wife says "Turn the screen off".

That made me laugh a little. Yes, as he said, capacitive touchscreens do not need to be calibrated.

[Q] Faulty screen : squares and dots on it (with photos)

Hi guys,
Yesterday I bought a Nexus 32gb in Fnac, and I realized that with the screen off the light of a close reading lamp is reflected in it and because of this I can see a dotted line and "squares" in the screen (I suppose it's the tactile panel)
The weirdest thing is after seeing the dotted line with the screen off, when I turn it on with the highest bright and a white background I keep on seeing those points
Would you be so kind as to check this?
Thanks for all.
My one x and asus transformer have them too.

I'm very grateful for your answer.
Do you still see them in the same place when you turn the screen on for a few seconds and put a white background in it?
The squares are in an obvious pattern. There is no way that could be a bad screen. All HP touchpad had it.

Ok, but I dont think it's normal that I can see the points with screen on (with background white)

I see this with the Kindle Fire but not with the Nexus 7.

I've noticed this pattern on my Nexus 7 as well, but only when the screen is off and hit by a bright light at just the right angle. And even then, I have to really look for it.
I've never been able to notice it while the screen was turned on though.

No problem here. All screens have this. Its the touch sensor.

ah no, i can only see them when the screen in off and i am outside with bright sunlight on the front face... no chance of seeing them on white background here. :good:
It is normal. Stop being paranoid and just accept what people are telling you. It is normal to see that pattern while the screen is on if you have a bright background.
Edit: If people say they cant see them they are not looking for it correctly. All capacative screen has em'. True story

[ISSUE] Screen not functioning during call

Hey guys!!
So i'm a proud owner of the white international version of the Xperia Z, but there is a problem that I've noticed with the phone!
When i make calls, and the other end picks up, phone screen turns black, I try and turn the screen on with power button and no luck, the screen is unresponsive and does not turn back on until the other end hangs up!
Glitch in the software? Anyone else by any chance?
BTW phone is rooted
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check if the proximity sensor is working.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Thanks!
just dial that number, i went to service test and i presume proximity switch (no proximity sensor) and on the screen it says 'Proximity switch ON' and made a beep sound
So, by any chance has anyone else got this problem? Please help

Yes I did! I never thought the spigan glas.t would be the cause!
I've been giving my headaches thinking about this!
Guess the solution is to either remove glas.t or the proximity sensor app.
Thank you both for the advice and help

Yeah I did that nothing happened, I think it's what pvilla mentioned above with the screen protector.
Thanks for your help and input, much appreciated

Should I exchange my phone?

I got my one from best buy, last night I noticed that when the screen is on, on the lower left side part of the screen is a little brighter, it's about half inch in diameter, it seems like the screen is being pressed, bc if I press the screen myself a little lower, it goes away and the same thing happens where im currently pressing. The is also a small bright dot right in the middle of the screen, which also is only noticesable with s black background.
And last thing, I don't know if this is normal, but the touch screen is not accurate at all

All of that is normal. They actually made it like this as a selling point.
Jk. Not normal. Take it back. I have none of those issues.

Lol, I'm just wondering if they will exchange it since it's barely noticible if it's bright outside, and only with a black background, like when a YouTube video is loading or the app drawer

Be prepared to demonstrate the defect and be firm that you want an exchange...

It's screen bleed! It is a defect and if your within your 14 days they can't say no. Just say you'll return it if they dont

Extra sensitive screen.

Has anyone else noticed how sensitive the screen is? I constantly find my phone has woke up because of a notification. Then my pocket does all kinds of random things. pockt dialing, pocket facebooking, pocket gaming and last but not least pocket txting lol.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using xda app-developers app
Yeah its meant to be. If you go to settings>control>auto-adjust screen sensitivity and uncheck the box it should help.

Oh I know about that. Thats for when you have gloves on. Its not checked. The screen is just sensitive. Its not bad just alot more sensitive than any of my other galaxy series of phones.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using xda app-developers app
Same issue and my friend has the same problem. If they'd get rid of the stupid screen on for notifications it would help but it's also not good that when squatting down its easy to press the home button in your pocket since it's not fully flush with the body. Thus allowing you to still accidentally unlock it the same way

I do enjoy the sensitivity for normal use. It's the abnormal things that get you lol.

Wait... your phone wakes up when you get a notification? Like the screen turns on when you receive an email or text? My phone stays locked and just flashes the LED light.

If you're rooted, you can make the home button not wake up the device with Wanam. I found that this caused a more problems than the brief wake on receiving text messages.
Not sure how to make it not wake the screen when you get a text message.
I've never seen it wake the screen for anything other than text and calls, though.

Yes and the phone vibrates again when I pick it up before unlocking it.
