Not sure what happened, there probably was something broken inside the button, and water helped it to stop the button functionality.
Take it to the service center.

Any news yet? I have similar problem with my physical camera button..but it works fine when the camera is already open. The only problem is that when I am in the home page or any other app, when pressing the physical camera button, it does NOT launch the camera app. Any response would be a lot of help, thanks!

The button isn't the most responsive, the amount of times that i've ended up with a blurry pic because of that button is ridiculous, try a selfie with the button, it's a right pain in the ass.

Oh, I hope they get it fixed soon. Any idea on how long the repair process will take? My local service center said that it would take a simple repair of replacing a water proof flap two to three months. Just wondering if it good the same in your place.
And btw, my camera button is working just fine, I was just not pressing it long enough.

I sent mine off for repair when I killed my phone via carphone warehouse and got it back within 6 days, which is remarkable.
Not sure if it's going to be the same for you. 2 Weeks is usually what customers are told in carphone.

I'm glad things move quickly with your situation.
Well, I asked our local service center how long it would take to replace my USB flap cover, because it came off. Such a simple task right? She estimated that it would take at least 2 months for that one.
So, instead, I ordered an OEM set for all the flaps. 40 days shipping time. I'd rather wait for 40 days target than not being able to use my phone for 2 months. Any reference for reinstalling the flaps?

Just pull out the flaps from the small hole and be carefull to do not cut the rubber stripe, a drop of oil will help a lot, and then when you got the new flaps you will see, is very easy, just push them back into the small hole first and then close them.

[Q] Screen sensor bug. Please help

Hello,
After a month of using Note, I take the bug, that make device unusable. Touch screen press themselves, without of contacting of my fingers in the left bottom corner (near button 'z' on screen keyboard). And it become more and quickly.
But this problem have the "solve": when I connect the phone via usb and charge it, bug falling away. But if I disconnect, they return.
I try a lot of roms and kernels, but problem have not solved.
In the program "Multitouch vis test" i find that sensor take pressure in pixels placed 1108-1109 y and 95-120 x coords. So, maybe I can stop processing of touch sensor in that rect? How can I do that and can I do that at all?
Maybe charging let the screen sensor to be less sensable? Can I do this via programm (or kernel)?
And I don`t understand is it the problem with screen sensor or usb?(usb module is mush sheaper).
Sorry for long thread and bad English.
Thanks in advance, Giggsoff

Thanks for links, but it don`t solve problem.
I record video, with my phone. May be it describe my problem
youtu.be / kXzTh0UB7oc
Just saw your video.
Looks really weird.
How long does this bug exist? From the beginning?
your sensor is very sensitive
I got that after month of using (two weeks ago) when playing "Order & Chaos Online", or maybe I start notice that. In the bottom right corner of screen (in landscape orientation) the button, that mean fire, was located. So I press it fast. But I get massages "select the target" when I don't press any key.
I was in hospital, when I notice problem, and it didn't falling away, when I connected the charge. But when I back home, connect there phone to charge it is disappeared. I mean, that it was result of my operations (I open the phone and clean, reinstall os), but it was only because I had connected the phone. Now, I try to use S-Pen, cause it lock touch screen, but it's hard and don't a way out. So I am going to return the phone. It's hard, because I am an international buyer - from Germany to Russia. Intresting thing - when I open my box I see, that on charge was words in Russia (maybe cause in it )
It's going crazy
Returning it back is a good solution, I think.
It's definitely a hardware problem.
Ok, thank you. I will do it next week. Sadly lose that amasing phone for a month or longer, but I shall have to do it.
When I had returned my old Galaxy S it just took 10 days until I got it back, so let's hope the best

[Q] Xperia Z wont stop vibrating

My Xperia Z started to act weird from two days ago, when it started to vibrate during all the time.
I restarted the phone,discharged the battery and recharged it again but it does not help me at all. It keeps vibrating even when the phone is turned off and it seems that it will never stop.
Did you guys had any similar issue?
Plzzz somebody help me:crying::crying::crying:
Did you tried a hard reset?(hold power and Vol Up at least 15 seconds)
And if i understand right, it vibrates too if you shut it down, or only from boot on?

I now that it seems crazy but the problem started in my pocket when the phone was together with my bio-metric passport for a couple of hours. Maybe it s caused from the chip of the passport?!
I want to share another fact with you:
Always before having this issue when I was pressing the phone from both sides with two fingers close to the menu button it starts vibrating but stops immediately after releasing it. I don't know if it happens to all Xperia Z mobile phones.

Doesn't happen on mine.
Maybe you should Send it to a Service Center or go to the shop where you bought it and ask for warranty. Did you Already tried to re-flash Stock Rom using FT?
Try flashing an old 4.1.1 one, it could be the NFC sensor. The downgrade will Also downgrade the NFC software. It may help.
If I should upload mine 4.1.1. ftf, just ask.

no, NFC does not interact with vibrator motor. That two devices is so separated
Sony must replace your phone in any reason. That's definitely sony fault.
Just had the same problem, My sony Z is a repaired one just over a month old. It is Always in a Leather Case. Just 15 min ago the Phone just started vibrating (thought it was a call) non stop. Turned the Phone off but didn't stop. Turned it on again but nothing changed.
meanwhile searched the web for solutions, only thing i could find that it was hardware related.
Since the Phone is little to big for my pocket i thought it could be from flexing the Phone or something like that. So i put it back in it's case, and put it flat on my hand and gave it a firm tap on the back with my other hand. The 2nd try was succesfull and the Phone stopped vibrating.
Checked if normal vibration still works and found no problems.
My experience with the latest Phones is getting worse with every model they (HTC / Sony) release. Feels like the phones suffer more and more from stupid (hardware) problems. Looks like the Urge of releasing a new model every half year is showing its flaws...
Mine vibrating too and getting worse!
The store guy told me it was the cover I had it in. Bollocks. The cover has been off for two weeks and still it vibrates! Seems to be worse if I charge it via a USB charger in my car. Related perhaps? I just tried the suggested holding down of power and volume and it has stopped vibrating. Fingers crossed! Glad I'm not the only one but need a fix
same thing here. my phone is vibrating RIGHT NOW!
my z3 is dual sim model the D6633. only 2 weeks old.
the phone first stop working on the touch screen. phone would not react to any finger. so when its locked, i can use the camera button to wake up and take pictures. still will not respond when i touch it.
then the phone getting warm at top area near the headphone.
so i google it how to turn off z3 with button, so i did, power+ volume
when phone turn back on, no screen. only a black screen with back lighting on. i can tell when i put phone right infront my eye.
then the phone start vibrate!!! none stop vibrate.
at this moment, i CAN turn off the phone with power+ volume but WON'T stop the vibrate.
really need a help, im in US and purchase this Z3 from NEWEGG and it is a DUAL SIM model, can i get warranty in SONY retail store????
GOD! why me
vibration problem
Hello,
I had the same problem.
Sony claims that there products are waterproof.
We as customers like that and want to try it out.
Maybe not in a swimming pool but at least clean it under de faucet.
That should be no problem, it is waterproof right!!!
After a while this vibration problem occur to your device.
Because none of these solutions help to stop this problem I decide to open my Xperia Z2.
My surprise was that I saw very small tracks of water inside!
Then I put it in the hot sun while it was open en the problem disappeared.
My conclusion:
It is NOT waterproof en a small short circuit causes the vibration problem.

Help with touch related problem

Hi guys,
My Xperia ZR started behaving abnormally some days back, I put "screentouchtest" app and found that there were random inputs on the phone which made the phone go useless... Check the screen shot attached.
So I tried to make an app that will disable only that part on my screen and I was successful at it... Check screenshot attached. I could then at least use my phone to some extent.
But now the frequency of these random touch inputs have increased and that has made it again go unusable...
Problem is that I made this app as a floating app and whenever user touches other part of the phone , touch below the unblocked area is activated.
SO now I wanted to disable the touch completely over this area...any help will be appreciated.
Sony says it is due to water logging in the motherboard and no warranty will be given.
You are not alone!
Having the same problem here. Random touch inputs on the top right corner of device. I can assure you it's not because of water log of any sorts because i have opened ,checked, dried and even tested the touch display. Its a software related issue I guess which I am not able to pinpoint or understand. I wish someone from the forum helps with it.
water logging? did your phone get wet some time? its waterproof phone and no warranty given? :laugh: screw sony in consumer court

Sorry to say unfortunately custom ROM doesn't help either. After I installed one just to see if the problem persists, To my surprise it didn't! But after a week or so the pendulum was back to square one. So I had to roll back. I really don't know how to go about this problem I think the problem is because of a bug of some sorts which causes the chip to send signals to the display addressing that its being touched or whatever. Anyway this is just my guess. You can try installing a custom ROM for your device and see if the issue ceases. In that case my problem would be just device specific. Do share your results after you install a custom ROM :good:.

May be there is a problem with the touch digitizer under the LCD panel which is misbehaving. No software can fix it. You will need to replace the touch digitizer along with LCD screen as they are sold as single unit. Check online if you can find the parts and ask any local mobile repairer to replace it. :good:
NO Luck with Custom ROM
I put Android Lollipop (CM12 Port) and there have been no change. Looks like the problem is with digitizer, last time I told local repair shop to replace the screen they said they cant separate the screen and had no clue. But I searched and found out from youtube videos that it can be done. Now all I have to do is buy Screen+Digitizer.
As you can see the random touch strip have moved little upwards from my earlier screenshots. That happened months back. If anyone wants the app I made then let me know. It helps me to some extent.

Since there are random touches on my phone, I made app that blocks this touch... Check the screenshots, I have "Show Touches" Option ON from Developer Settings. This makes all the touches show white marker... So I made app that floats over the screen and wont show any response when there are touches over that area. "Semi Transparent Area" in the screenshot - Touch wont work over that part. App wont completely disable the touch though, if we press other part of screen for that time app gets disabled...

I have this problem too but it only happens if the phone screen get wet
Some time it happen randomly but when i press on the screen at bottom and on led gently it disappear and back to normal
Thank you!
The Float APK solved the major issue of my faulty touch screen in my Nexus 4. There are two lines in my screen where the touch is not working anymore. One of them is having several crazy clicks making my phone somehow useless. By using this app, I can prevent that, which is great!
Two issues I've got:
- the textbox to set the distance from the top is located exactly in the first dead line! So I need to turn my phone sideways to be edit to click there and edit its value.
- when using the phone in horizontal mode, blocked zone turns as well, but the faulty zone is fixed there.
I'm wondering if you might share with us the source code or maybe you consider to make some improvements on it?
Thank you so much for sharing this app here!
thanks for this app solution.
I too have problem of ghost touches. This app definately helps with that and makes the phone somewhat usable again.
The only problem is that some ghost touches are continous (it's like someone presses their finger on the screen and keeps holding it there). This makes action by other touches unresponsive.
Maybe we can find a solution for this in the float app?
Source code for the app
Finally since many of you requested, here is the source code! - Stop Touch - Source Code

Desperate for help on proximity sensor

Hi there everybody.
Just bought an Xperia Z3+,its been 4 days from now and since i did all updates,my proximity sensor doesnt work and screen stays always off during call and i cant bring it back.And i cant even end or close the call if the other part doesnt end the call.Sometimes it work and sometimes not.I dont use any cover or protection.
Its been 4 days till today since im mad,i tried searching everywhere and every app people advised but none seems to fix it.
Really desperate for help or an advise.I love this phone,but this problem is driving me crazy.
Thank u very much.Waiting for your answers.
If it´s only 4 days old you should take it back to the dealer and complain.
Btw... have you made a hard reset?

Before you do resets or return it, restart it and if that doesnt help do the volume up + PWR button for 5 secs when the phone is on. If neither of these work open up the SIM card port and above the sim card slot there is a white button, get a pin or something and hold it for a few seconds. If this also doesnt workdo a reset via PC Companion and lastly if this does not work just go back to the shop and tell them whats happening and they will probably give you a new one if its only been 4 days

Oh thats kinda sad, you probably got a bad one, they should be able to just swap it if its been 4-5days otherwise I think you will have to send it to service :/ But hopefully after that it will work fine
@lastsamuraial
Try these to see if your proximity sensor is working or not.
1) Dial this in your phone dialer:
*#*#7378423#*#*
This will take you to service stuff. Next, go to:
Service tests > Proximity switch
Move your hand or anything over the sensor which is located to the right of "SONY" on the front of your phone. It should go "On" when it detects something and "Off" if it doesn't.
2). Another test you can do is found at:
Settings > About phone > Diagnostics > Test > Ear Proximity
This will also test your sensor.
Thanks to all for your help,but i send it back and a new one is coming.
You can also use Z-Device Test from the Play store to test just about everything on your phone.

Xiaomi MI5 - Randomly unresponsive touchscreen

Hello guys, so I recently received an MI5 I ordered on Gearbest, in the 64gb international version (MIUI Global 8.2.2.0).
From day one, the touchscreen had the bad habit of going unresponsive randomly, meaning i have to struggle to swipe/click. Using hard keys (home, power) somehow fixes the issue for a few minutes but that's all. I unlocked the bootloader with Mi Unlock, and tried the latest build of LineageOS, and even flashed next the latest MIUI international developper build (29/06). On all of these 3 ROMs, the issue persists (and I went full wipe each time).
At the phone start, it is generally OK for a bunch of minutes, and then randomly becomes unresponsive.
I searched on the internet and did not find fixes, and i'm still unsure whether it's software or hardware related, even though I fear its the second option.
Would any of you have any more information on this subject?
To rule out any possible software issues, I'd flash the latest stable ROM.
Give that a shot and then see if the problem persists.
Well, the phone came new with the latest MIUI Global ROM (8.2.2.0), and since first start the problem was here. In the beginning I thought that it was just the phone lagging while setting up, but as time passed it was still there, no matter which ROM I flashed.
So, is there a potential software fix, or is this an hardware issue?
I am having the same issue, i hope its not hardware related :/

Unfortunately, I'm starting to think it is, considering what I found on the internet. I'm kinda deceived by Xiaomi, which I thought was great value for the price. There is not even an official statement about this, even though many users reported the issue.

Sadly thats the problem with Chinese phones,some of us that will face this problem's have no protection,we cant return the phone and get a new one,its better for us just to buy a new screen off aliexpress for 20euros than to wait 2 month's to ship it back and wait for it to be fixed and then returned and you pay the shipping costs and also the repair costs,but thats the risk we accept when we want the best bang for the buck.
Also poor quality control on the products to cut the costs is the real reason behind the problems we face
Had the same problem, it got fixed in the latest developer 7.6.29.

Hi, I indeed tried this solution, even thought it worked for a few hours.. But it came back soon enough
Guys,hello! I have a good news for you,i hope so. Ok. 1st of all I defeated the error with the screen off.
Here is my story.
I just wanted a black mi5. After some time found on ebay. I bought it, he arrived, after two days the touchscreen stopped working absolutely randomly.
The seller said that everything will do. I sent, he did nothing! Sent me. It all happened twice. Exactly twice I sent my mi5 from Russia to China! I read all the messages and tried everything. Nothing helped.
That's what I tried and that does not exactly work.
1. It does not depend on the version of miui or linegeOS.
2.This does not depend on time.
3.This does not depend on temperature.
I experimented, heated it, lay in the refrigerator. I clicked on the screen / body.
In the end, I understood the reason-static electricity.
HOW TO FIX IT!
1.Remove the back cover.
2. Twist the screws in the center and bottom, possibly a pair on the right side.
3. Try so far without the lid closed.
4.If the screen stops responding, try unscrewing the other screws.
5.Repeat, until you find the right combination and the touchscreen will work constantly.
Guys, I really helped it.
I hope this also solves your problem with the screen. Good luck!

Guys,hello! I have a good news for you,i hope so. Ok. 1st of all I defeated the error with the screen off.
Here is my story.
I just wanted a black mi5. After some time found on ebay. I bought it, he arrived, after two days the touchscreen stopped working absolutely randomly.
The seller said that everything will do. I sent, he did nothing! Sent me. It all happened twice. Exactly twice I sent my mi5 from Russia to China! I read all the messages and tried everything. Nothing helped.
That's what I tried and that does not exactly work.
1. It does not depend on the version of miui or linegeOS.
2.This does not depend on time.
3.This does not depend on temperature.
I experimented, heated it, lay in the refrigerator. I clicked on the screen / body.
In the end, I understood the reason-static electricity.

Hey guys, thanks to Griha3212 I found out on my Mi 5 it's the screw in the top middle part of the phone, the one with warranty sticker. Just loosen it a bit. It works fine after I loosen it. Tried tightening it too and the problem came back.

Hi Guys, I hope my solution helps to solve your problem. It is definitely about the screws. For me, I have found out that one screw is very slightly thinner than the others (of course the one with warranty stick should go to the centre and there is one silver metal going top left). This thinner screw should go up middle. That worked for me.
Does the screws trick work on your phone? Plz tell me.

Did you mean that, when loosen it, the problem dissapears immediately without rebooting? Because I've tried it and it does not work immediately.

I think your explaination is a little bit confusing. Did you mean that the thinner screw (the number 1 on the image attached) has to be swapped with the number 2? Or with the one with the warranty (number 5)?
Please if any other one found a combination that works, post it using the numbers of my attachment as reference. I have been tried several combinations amd no one seem to work.
