I am facing the problem recently last 2 3 days
my Xperia restarts automatically
sometimes there is 30% to 40% charging left still its shut automatically and never been start.. i have to change new battery
any solution for this or anyway to find the problem?
regards
anybudy would like to answer this please?
I'm having a similar problem...my x1 sometimes shuts down while in the middle of doing something, like opening apps, sliding out the keyboard or even navigating touchflo. I suspect it could be a battery problem, as someone in the forum discovered, having also shut down problems, that his battery is loose and the connectors are not properly met so he stuck a bit of hard paper to fix it, but I checked mine and the battery is not loose. I don't want to spend on a new battery if these shut downs weren't really cause by faulty batteries, so yeah anyone has a clearer understanding on this?
Hi all
I am also having a similar problem the past 2 days and as of now i cant use the qwerty keyboard because just as i begin to slide the qwerty out the screen goes black and the phone need to be rebooted.
I have just changed to Valkyrie 2.4 yesterday thinking that maybe its was software problem with Touch X but the problem still persists. Only difference is that with Touch X the phone would reboot itself.
Anyone else having any similar issues and what would the fix be, or shall i be off to my nearest service provider for repairs?
Thanks
Uhm.. about that problem when you slide it out and the device turns off.. i had that too and i send it in to repair.. it will probably be fixed under warranty, and stock rom or custom rom doesnt matter the problem was still there... and it happend to me 5 days ago..

'When i slide the thing out it sometimes restarts'
I used to have that with the stock ROM so this all might be more software related...
yeah I am having the same problem, No Water Damage btw. i found that if i sometimes in portrait mode if pressure is applied to the top right region, it will shutdown and/or restart. When I slide my screen up to landscape mode it screen is just black. I'm going to contact Sony Ericsson to see what they have to say about this.

It resets when the phone freezes. Sometimes it freezes so bad you have to manual reset.
My phone is doing the same thing but when i slide it up. The screen goes blank and then it restarts by itself. I never flashed my phone so I thought it was a firmware issue. I finally updated to the R3A firmware and lo and behold the same results, but instead it didn't restart, it just turned off or the screen goes blank. I've sent the phone to Sony Ericsson and they told me that I would have my phone back in 7 to 10 business days, but they're liars!!! It's been 13 business days and counting and no word as to whether the phone can be fixed or updates on status other than it's in "work in process". So then I called again today and complained to SE and the result is that they are "awaiting parts and Xperia parts are on back-order". After further probing SE told me that they would call me on Monday to officially let me know what the hell is going and why it's taking so long to repair my phone. I paid $800 usd for the phone and I would expect that their repair service would be a lot better and quicker than what it is! During my wait time for my phone, my PS3 broke down, I sent it in, got it fixed and returned already. That was within a week. There is definitely something wrong I tell you! They just need to send me a new phone!
Sorry about my rant guys, but I'm pissed!!!
My damn phone has the same issue, Until now, this hasn't been repaired for it's crack. And I'm almost out of warranty days, I think I bought it 2md day after the xperia was released. I'll try testing abou the presuure point though. I give you update
I did have the same problem..

Hi,
Lately i am experiencing a lot of troubles while typing a message or just unlocking my lockscreen.
The touchscreen respods bad, sometimes it starts moving out of itsselve... Its really annoying to work with the phone like that...
Someone facing the same problems?
Suggestions? Fixes?
Btw. The phone is stock, nothing changed or replaced...
The onling thing i did was removing the shaterproof film (and my Sony logo )
Try repairing it with Sony's PC Companion or Sony's Update Service first.
remember to backup your stuff before proceeding.
Do full wipes.

Did you try to shut the phone down for 30 seconds and restarting it, seems to fix many unusual android issues.
I have noticed sometimes that my phone on the odd occasion does not repsond to screen press.
I am also experiencing the same problem.
Did a factory reset but still the same problem comes occasionally.. any solution ?

I've had this problem only sometimes when charging outside...When u feel that the touch isn't working as it should,put on your earphones and look out for a low buzzing sound..if u hear anything,then unplug the charger from the wall and check in another socket..hopefully the problem in my phone was that current was leaching onto the capacitive screen so if I touch just once,it registers a number of touches..hope this helps u get rid of the problem
Hit thanks if I helped u.Sent from my Killer Xperia Z(C6602) using xda premium.

That may be the solution to the problem you had but this isnt the problem here , it happens when whether the phone is charging or not and I think themichelanne is having the same problem.
Power off the phone with power+ vol up - wait for 1 vibrate followed by 3 vibrates and leave the phone then wait for 30 second before powering on, solved it for me....no problem in touch till now and i hope it does not come in future.
BTW This phone is really really full of problems.
Also happens to me when using some chargers
I bought my unbranded UK Xperia Z in Expansys, since I live in Portugal they sent a extra charger for the european standard socket. I had this exact same problem with it, the screen was extremely unresponsive and unprecise while charging. Now I use the charger from my old N900 and have no issues. Also, charging from a lower volt/amperage source like a computer I have no problems.
Since the capacitive screen is very sensitive, a low quality AC-DC adapter will generate issues (possibly due to the current/voltage not being 100% stable).

The issue is still unresolved, i did a factory reset but still the touchscreen stops responding ocassionally...
Need serious help guys...
Could be a bad screen protector.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
me too
Im also experiencing the same problem. So annoying, especially while texting. Xperia Z's touch not proving to be how it should be.
This happens with this phone for me, and previous android phones. Usually its just the app open not responding to touch events, but my softkeys still work and I can force kill and restart whatever im doing. Sometimes I have to reset. It seems to be happening more frequently since updating to 67, but its not often enough really bother me. using a tool like romtoolbox to increase the amount of touch events android can process seems to improve it somewhat.

Have you found any solutions for this? I have been experiencing this since 4.2.2 update. I don't know what happened. Can you please explain what's wrong and what's happening? Have you got it fixed yet? My screen freezes frequently so I'm unable to use the phone.
I have been experiencing this problem since a long time. But I have found no solutions for it. I took out my screen protector and the freezing thing got to normal but still it freezes sometime, but more when the screen protector is on. I'm pretty sure this problem is caused by the screen or the android farmware. I'm downgrading my OS, please reply to this. Mine is C6602. C6603 doesn't experience any problems like that.
How I fixed my Xperia Z5 touch screen
Hi everyone,
So, my Z5 touch screen was not working at all anymore, I have tried every manipulation recommended on the internet but did not succeed to get it working that way.
Here is what I did to get it fixed eventually:
- Installed sony companion
- Launched the "fix software" program (I don't know the exact name of the program in english)
- Followed the steps (took a while, something like two hours)
Then my phone rebooted, but nothing, still the same issue. Tried taking off the sim card, rebooted and same problem. Then, I put it back in the phone, and for some reason, the touch screen decided to work again. Although, I lost a lot of data in the process, but worth it.
I don't know if it is a general fix, but on my phone it just worked that way. Although, I have noticed that my phone started overheating something like two weeks before the touch screen problem appeared, I assume those two problems are linked in some way. Still did not find any fix for the overheating problem except putting it under cool water or let it cool down for 10 minutes.
I hope I helped with my post, good luck for those who are experiencing this issue.
hi, not sure if anyone facing same problem.
sometime when messaging, while i want press on backspace, it will just register random character from the keyboard instead of deleting.
It also affect the lock screen pattern grid or while playing game. Usually it happen randomly and last for around 1 minute or less.
Not sure is just software or hardware.
Hope to find out more on this issue before I decide whether i should restore the phone or send in for servicing.

- have u experience any water damage?
- are you root user? and install any module that effect touch?
If not then follow these >>
first connect ur phone to pc and Repair firmware by PC companion
It will install fresh firmware so can solve almost all software issue.

- water damage, not that i know off
- non-rooted since some of my app can't run on rooted phone
tested in developer mode enable pointer location, when the problem occur, any touch will become like a swipe line.
will try repair using PC companion as you suggested.
Thanks
after repair using PC Companion, so far look ok.
will keep monitoring but initial suspect is some app I installed or the touch-to-wake module as mentioned by my friend which is causing the problem.
hi,
i have a dead zone in the upper part of the touch screen, i have found multiple references to problems with touch scree, but i discovered that my issue is in software not in hardware.
if i run a diagnostics in settings->about phone>diagnostics->test->touchscreen everything works and i am able to clean whole display, so hw works, but no application including system is not able to use a rectangle with y=<150,280>
i also enabled developer options->show touches and the problem is probably in api, dead zone is there too, so no wonder that all apps have a problem.
i dont know when this problem started, but i am sure it was after 5.x upgrade
any ideas?
My phone has a similar issue, and I have only noticed after updating to lollipop too. In my case, the screen does not recognize touches in a portion of the notification bar. After trying a lot of solutions, including repairing using FTF and PC Companion, I tried to downgrade to Kitkat. Although the notification bar worked normally, testing through the service tests menu (type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer) revealed the problem was still there, but the area affected was a bit smaller, what explained why I could lower the notification bar again.
I believe this is a hardware issue. What makes you able to wipe the screen through the diagnostics menu is the fact that the area you can wipe is large, so when you swipe near the affected area, it wipes a larger area around it.
I've attached some screenshots showing what I got using the touch screen test (service tests menu).
I also found someone with a similar issue in another thread:

My phone's still under warranty, I will contact them in the next weeks. If I can get any news I will post it here.
Sometimes when I turn on my phone the upper part of the screen doesn't work as well. Usually, turning the screen off and on again makes it go back to normal.
I don't think it's a hardware issue because I had my phone replaced (not because of this) and the problem persists. It doesn't bother me that much, however.
for last few days I m unable to swipe down the notification bar,its unresponsive over the whole notification bar. I cant even clear that zone while running the diagnostic test. please reply who has solution. I m really tensed. I don't have any warranty.
Have the same problem here. Does anyone already found a solution ?
Iam having the same problem on more than one place of the screen. Any solution?
Same Problem - Top half not working
I have about the same problem as the whole top half of the screen is unresponsive. Had it for about 3 weeks when it suddenly happened. Sent it away for repair about two weeks ago, still waiting on the outcome.
Hello, exactly the same problem with my Z3 Compact, I am sending it for repair next monday. Any updates from you guys?

I Have the same issue after update with pc companion 23.4.A.1.200
Reinstalling the software didn't fix the problem in my case. If so many people have this issue i'd say it's about the built quality.
I got this issue in my device also. Just paid attention to it today. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes no. I tried the test from diagnostics in the phone me, and sometimes i couldn't reach the upper area, around 1-2 millimeter width, but sometimes it works fine also in the test. I didn't perform any software upgrades, the phone has build 23.4.A.0.546, Android 5.1.1. May be it can be solved with any screen calibration? Any ideas will be appreciated...
I've recorded screen video, so you can see the problem area: https://youtu.be/rfn4j1yGluU
Thank you
Same problem. My device is d5833 brought in Australia last Christmas day. The problem occur three ago with the build 23.4.a.1.200. It wasn't fixed if upgrading to build 23.4.a.1.232 or wiped all to reset.
This evening my another d5833 also had the same problem with the build 23.4.A.0.546. I brought them on the same day.
I no sure if the android 5.1 cause this problem, but everything is ok before I upgraded. Probably the screen sensor was broken by the upgrades .
I have contacted the store, where i bought my device (www.clove.co.uk), and they will take care of sending it to Sony service center and repairing under warranty.
I also read about this issue on other forums, it looks like hardware problem, which can be fixed by touchscreen replacing.
I sent mine back to the store (handtec.co.uk) aswell. They are currently taking care of it. Anyway, I was told that I will be able to track the progress online, but I don't see the device in my account. Tried to contact them few times, so far they told me twice that the device was already sent back to me, and once that they have just received it back from repair. Opened a ticked, current status is "your item is booked with the manufacturer as soon as we got any information regarding your item from manufacturer we will update you via email". Let's see how it goes.
If you're rooted, reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik & cache (you don't lose any data or settings)... problem solved!

10x, but my phone is not rooted. Already sent to service... Now i just have to wait...
Mine is also not rooted, and made entry in Sony for repair on 02/10, so far no response on the status.
Suddenly my xperia Z3 compact's Home button, back button or even the button which shows the background apps is not working. Although these buttons work perfectly when the device is locked which means nothing is wrong with the touch screen/display (at that time the call button, lock button and camera button are displayed respectively). But I don't understand why these buttons aren't working when the device is unlocked. I've already tested on "safe-mode". It didn't work. Then I flashed the device using flashtool and reverted back to kitkat. But still the same problem persists. I have attached two pictures so that you can understand my problem. Now someone please help me out.

Odd issue
Did you wipe anything with Flashtool?
I have a similar issue. I think it's a hardware problem.
You can try the service tests menu (type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer), but maybe it won't detect any problem since the affected area is in the navigation bar.
I believe your phone recognizes touches in that area when the device is locked simply because it is possible to unlock the phone by swiping up starting from points a little higher than the area where the navigation bar is placed.
The complete description of my problem is in this thread, and I've also found someone who posted screenshots too.
I've attached some screenshots of my phone (using service tests menu).
Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet, so I'm thinking about sending it to repair.

btw....Using "Glove mode" helps a bit.....I just don't get it what's wrong in normal mode?
And I've rooted the device....used Gravity box to tweak the navigation bar. I've increased the navbar height from 100px to 110px. So. now it works somehow but only in horizontal mode. In landscape mode it's the same as before. And this thing not works when I'm running any apps. So, It's become kinda irritating to use any apps and lately the right side panel of the status bar has also stopped working. I just don't get it!

Yeah, Unfortunately It's a hardware issue.....I went to the service center today and they told me something like the Digitizer should be replaced meaning the whole display should be changed. As I've got no warranty, that leaves me with no choice but to spend a whole lot of money right now
I want to answer like "you have 1 centimetre screen protector or something?" but you already repaired your phone. Hope your phone will be better and your money spent is paid off with a great experiences. And i also hope your waterproofness will not gone after repair.:banghead:

Root your device. Install Resolution changer. Open it, leave the width value same, and the decrease the height value, it will make the back key panel null, and your back key position will change. you can use touchscreen smoothly with no problem, even in any app or video player
i have the same problem. Then i use the phone horizontally, everything is ok, anywhere on the screen responds my touch. I think it is a software problem.
Same problem
Inviato dal mio GT-N8000 utilizzando Tapatalk
facing the same problem second time...
This is still a problem for me. I believe it is a software problem. I tried the screen on a game that uses the screen, Piano Tiles 2. The game menu is at the bottom of the screen, right where the Home/Back button is supposed to be. But on the game, this area actually works. Whereas if you exit from the game, that same are-- that same area where it doesnt have a problem in-game-- no longer works when interacting with the sony OS.
What gives?
I also tried updating software, a different launcher, and nothing worked so far. Its been months now and it seems to be deteriorating.
I have the same problem, too. I think it is a software problem, because in the lock screen there is no problem. Using the buttons, in horizontal mode with Sony logo on the right, works.
I'm using official 23.5.A.1.291
It seems there are a lot of devices with this issue (mine is one of them)

I sent my phone to the assistance last week, I've just received the confirmation it has been repaired but at the moment I don't have any report.
I'm asking myself if this kind of issue could start again in the future... when the warranty will be expired
If any of the capactive keys ( Home, Back and Menu ) buttons don't work. The Z3 Compact has soft-keys so you could try either of the two:
1) Flash a clean ftf, wipe everything. If it works after this it was most likely just a software bug/glitch, but if it still persists..
2) Its most likely a hardware issue related to the digitizer, you could either send it to Sony if you have warranty, or get it fixed by Sony or a black market fixer if you want to save some cash
Good luck

In your opinion isn't quite strange a lot of users have the same issue in the same range of time? This make me think to a bug, not to an hw issue.
Furthermore now also the Z3 seems to have the same...

A solution that worked for me
Hi,
I'm no expert but the following worked for me.
It seems an app was installed or upgraded that invisibly smothered the screen and prevented interaction.
1. Goto Settings / Apps / Settings (cogwheel) / Draw over other apps / Change all the apps to "No".
2. If you have installed the "Back Button" app, goto Settings / Accessibility / Back Button / Turn off.
The above got it working again - just.
Then goto Settings / Display / Glove mode / Turn on.
Worked a treat. Good luck.
