Touchscreen Fix, Testers Please - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Go to System\usr\idc and open file clear_ped.idc with a text editor
look for the line
#Pressure
touch.pressure.scale=0.2
I changed to 0.1, save and close,
Secondly go to System\usr\idc and open file clearpad.idc
look for the line touch.filter.level = 2
I changed the level = 2 to level = 4
Reboot and enjoy.
My touchscreen now works flawlessly and I hope this fix works for others please test and report back your findings.
Remember to hit thanks if I helped you in any way.
You can try other settings, You can change the 4 , from 1-7 1 being most sensitive, not always best and 7 being the least. Each device will be different and vary in results. I wouldn't recommend going to 7 though as your touchscreen might become unresponsive.
I found 4 was the best on my handset,. Good luck.

I did that and I think it's a bit better now...

You need a file manager such as Astro Manager, then just follow the instructions given here... go to System\usr\idc in the file manager.

After trying to edit the file it refuses to save. I have tried 2 different file managers now, Is it read only or something?

What Rom and Kernel are you on

What Rom and Kernel are you on, I think some 4.3 ROMs still have an issue with the system being read only, I'm by no means a dev and you would need to read about this on whatever ROM you have thread, once you gain access to system being read, write you will have no issue saving.

Try other settings

I'm sorry I'm really not sure why it's like that, as other post said depending on your ROM, it's best to contact the developer who made it. If you're using stock, then reply to me and I'll try and help further

Try pressing and holding power button and volume up until it vibrates 3 times, after you've rebooted the phone.
If that doesn't work:
Best thing to do is link it up to PCCompanion and reset the phone to all it's factory settings. Try that?
Edit, best we talk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49018376#post49018376

Hello guys! I came here to show you this video:
[Search Youtube for XPERIA Z1 タッチ切れ再現法 The method of reproduce] Sorry, new users can't post links it seems. But please check the video out.
I wanted to ask if any of you could give a reasonable explanation of it. If this is a software issue - how could it be reproduced in such a manner, by touching the metal frame of the phone? The video shows it pretty well. I also managed to reproduce the bug like this on my Z1. It has been in service for about 20 days now. I am worried that they might just 'mask' a hardware issue with software filtering. My initial assumption is that this is due to bad grounding? Why else would human contact trigger it? You can see it can be reproduced on-demand like this.
Thanks for reading! I hope someone can explain it.

Actually,you don't have to touch the metal frame!
Just put Z1 on a desk,wait for 30 seconds,touch screen and the bug will happen !

video demonstrates that a touch is being registered when touching the frame. It's kinda weird since why did the screen reacted to the touched frame. I have done that also and it's the same with me. But even after touching the frame and screen registered the touch, still screen fails to produce a continuous touch.
Sometimes it produces phantom touches which can be the cause of the random zooming and highlighting when browsing
Also tried changing the touch filter and failed to save. I think it needs root access

Im also facing such issue like I touched in sketch app & locked phone with other finger.Unlocked it while keeping the finger at same spot,then scolling the finger missed the touch
Also after playing GTA SA for about 30 min the touch sometimes stop responding.Any solutions
I tried above method but nothing works.I don't want to give this phone as I got it in replacement regarding yellow hue issue.

This is really a widespread problem across the globe. even Z1s owners are plagued by this problem and most likely even the z1 compact.

@Banwell13 I've not tried this as my touchscreen problem seems to have fixed itself? Strange.
But i'll definitely be keeping this thread in mind if it re-occurs.
Thanks for your efforts m8, appreciate it.

Think what he ment was if you hold the frame then the issue doesn't occur, well that's what happens on mine at least, putting it down on a desk usually makes the bug show it's face. Holding the frame fixes it.

@dladz, @brapicoco, Guys, we said this 20 times, the issue don't show on our devices in the same mode.

I did a OTA up software update, and now, even though ive put it to keep keys lit at all time, it still goes off after a few seconds?any one else had this problem?

Got my phone today with 10d on it. Almost immediately got an update to 10f and exactly the same - the front key lights always turn off after what I believe to be 1.5 seconds, no matter how I set it
Hm...same here. Lights turn off after 2-3 sec.

Not exactly, no. That setting gives you the option of '1.5 seconds' or 'Always off' and only applies to how the lights work during Power-Save mode, not normally.
Nice try to make us look stupid though :banghead:

I'm not sure if you are intentionally trolling or just stupid.
It is quite clearly stated that setting to 'Always On' makes no difference at all.
Do you have v10f on your phone? Do you even have this type of phone?
Calling all owners. Is there anyone out there?
OK, so I have raised this with LG Tech Support and they are telling me that it is an "Isolated Issue". Here is the copy of my emails with them;-
ME: I purchased this phone yesterday in the UK. I immediately got an OTA update to v10f. With this version there appears to be a bug. The "Front key light" setting doesn't change anything. I want to set it to "Always On" so that the lights are on whenever the screen is, but the button lights still go out after about 2 seconds.
This appears to be a software problem as other people on the forums have reported the same issue.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THEM: Based on the information you have provided me with, and after reading through your query, I would recommend that this is a standard setting on the handset unfortunatly unless in use the LED lights will power down, if you touch the LED lights they should illuminate again but unfortunatly there isnt a setting that you can change. Unfortunatly we are unable to do anything here at LG currently but we will raise this as a issue and you will have to wait for another update or bug fix if this is a software issue.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ME: This is definitely NOT a standard setting. Under software v10d this worked perfectly - as long as the screen was on, the buttons were lit up. The setting has the option of "Always On" and the fact that it doesn't work means that something is broken in the code. I have looked on XDA-Developers.com and found that I am far from the only person with this problem. There is also a partial solution which may point to the problem;-
"EDIT: OMG, changing the content of this file to 1 did fix it instantly! I'm not sure, if this app caused this behavior to happen but if anyone has the same issue, the exact location of the file is:
/sys/devices/platform/button-backlight/leds/button-backlight/br_maintain_on
EDIT 2: the file will be set to Ɔ' on each reboot, even with read-only permissions and when this app is not installed. It looks like this could be a firmware bug?
Maybe this will help - but at the moment I am seriously considering returning my phone and getting something by a different manufacturer as this is more than just annoying. Having those buttons flick off so quickly is a real nightmare when you are actually using the phone.

Click to collapse
THEM: Based on the information you have provided me with, and after reading through your query, I would recommend that this appears to be a islolated issue, as said before i will raise a Voice Of Customer which means that i will be raising this issue to head office and they will read this and look into the case. Unfortunalty i must inform you that your handset is covered by LG for 12 months under warrenty but you will fully void this by changing the codeing or altering the data inside the handset in anyway, this will also mean that the LG engineers will not repair this as it will be deemed as rooted.
Click to expand...

Can anyone out there confirm that they are running v10f and that the screen buttons work correctly for them. It would be interesting to tie this down and see if it is a problem with all v10f versions, if it is location specific, or if it maybe only effects certain batches of the phones.
---------- EDIT -----------
Thanks to this post by k1337Ultra, it appears that this can be fixed by disabling and then re-enabling the Automatic Brightness. Hope this helps others - very annoying though to find the solution buried in a totally irrelevant thread
---------- EDIT 2 -----------
And it works after a reboot as well. Yippee!!!!!
Good news for that you have fixed your problem .. Don't blame me with that because I am using V10C firmware and it is superb with no problem on LED buttons

Thanks - it would also have been helpful if you had either;-
1) mentioned that you were using an old version of software
2) actually read the OP and my post, realised that we were talking about a problem only in the latest version, and realised that posting would be fairly pointless.
its nice to see im not the only one that has the issue!! similar to you, if I enable the auto brightness the buttons stay lit fine, soon as I put it back, it goes back to going off after a few seconds!very annoying given they are not real buttons so can be a pain to find, grrrrr!

camera lag
I have the camera lag. when I open the camera app it takes complete a second or two to open. and if you open it from lock screen it takes for ever. well at least from the lock screen it was laggy on .569 too. other than that the UI is slightly slower and laggy than .569.

Xperia Z1 KitKat 4.4 Issues (May be Individual issues)

Hello everybody (Xperia Z1 Owners with Official KitKat 4.4.2)
I recently bought Xperia Z1 and updated it to 4.4.2, but after updating I'm having some issues.
1. When exiting any app, phone should go to home screen, for example I opened the Camera with the dedicated button and used it and pressed back button. As soon as I pressed Back button, the Settings comes up, sometimes dailer, sometimes some other app. Also it just not for Camera it happens mostly for any app I use.
2. When I get call, as I lift the call by dragging the green button the calls automatically starts with loudspeaker sometimes.
3. Battery drains faster sometimes.. like it was 95% and after few minutes it goes 92% (I was not using the phone at that time, it was idle)
4. Unlock animation, most the times while swiping I get smaller bubbles.
Any body having same issues, or any of the above.

1. I have the same problem as well, for me the app just comes up and then quickly closes again though.
2. I don't call too often, but I think I've had this problem once, I also could've accidentally turned it on with my cheek though.
3. Not a clue, could be a personal thing.
4. No idea what you mean but doesn't seem to be a major problem.

1. That happens sometimes with the KK update, the best way to fix that is simply do a factory reset of your phone in the settings
2. Known problem start with Factory Reset, if this not help repair via PC Companion
3. Known problem too, KK update make battery calibration that drain battery, that's back to normal after one or 2 days if not then it's because the SDCard access has be removed from 3rd app with KK that cause battery drain and overheating (i have this one with a 64Gb SDCard :crying: ) to be sure remove your SDCARD and test if there is no battery drain anymore then join us to the SDCard Crying Group and wait that Sony Fix that...
4.That's what you have by default you can change it in settings.

Its not a problem it has been done on purpose.
Sony will not fix it because its implemented by google to fix security issues. All companies running Android are bound by contracts to use this feature. It actually makes you phone more secure.

No i wasn't talking about that, many people haven't the battery drain/overheat problem but with some certains SDCARD/Capacity that cause that, let me explain : if i use my 64GB class 10 SDCard with KK that cause huge battery drain and overheating and ONLY with KK, not a single problem if i reflash the phone to JB 4.3 and i've tested all that is possible to do, format, reset etc... nothing works with KK :crying:

It stops third party apps reading anything you keep on your SDcard, like passwords, bank details and other sensitive information you may keep there. For example, I use online banking on my phone and I have sensitive information like that on my SDcard, now no other app can read it.

No i wasn't talking about that, many people haven't the battery drain/overheat problem but with some certains SDCARD/Capacity that cause that, let me explain : if i use my 64GB class 10 SDCard with KK that cause huge battery drain and overheating and ONLY with KK, not a single problem if i reflash the phone to JB 4.3 and i've tested all that is possible to do, format, reset etc... nothing works with KK :crying:

Yes, its on KK because KK stops third party apps reading the SDcard, so some KK un-optimised apps keep trying to read it but cant, causing overheat and battery drain

Then i need to wait that apps update right?
Sadly i have no idea what apps cause that it's too hard to find the way because even with no app and the official stock rom i still have the battery drain overheating problem, the only solution for the moment is to remove my lovely cuttie 64Gb class 10 SDCard
If you are rooted and can change the permissions to remove this access.
Look in the general section, you just add one line to a permissions file. There is also an app in the play store that does it for you automatically

But I can keep them on Internal (as the Internal is also a SDcard, External SDcard1, and they do the same job) so to me do not make sense.

Top of the screen becomes unresponsive suddenly

I've noticed since I first got this phone that the top of the screen becomes unresponsive randomly. Starting a touch registers nothing, but the screen still functions like normal in a dragging touch situation.
The only way to fix it is to reboot. It's gotten to a point where it's annoying to deal with, especially if you're trying to do multiple things at once like replying to several text messages.
Any idea what the issue is?
Sounds like you need to call Motorola

I don't think it's an actual problem with the hardware, but rather the software.
For example, when it happens it usually prevents me from swiping down the notification shade, but if I tap on hold in the middle of the notification bar, it appears long enough for my to pull it down.
Besides, if it was hardware based, how could a reboot fix it?
And I also bought this phone second hand so I don't know how that would affect calling Motorola.
Hmm have you done a factory reset?

I did whenever I unlocked my bootloader and flashed RR, but I had the screen problems before I did any modding.

The only thing I can think of is if the phone was damaged and the glass replaced there could be an issue with the repair or the top of the digitizer.
Does it work when you apply pressure?
Do you have a screen protector on it? Tempered glass?
Do you have a case like the otterbox that has the screen protector built in?

1. No, its more like the top or the screen becomes disabled. One quick reboot and its back to normal until it happens again.
2. It did have a tempered glass screen when I bought it but I took it off.
3. No, I use my phone completely naked.
It's not much of an issue, its just a huge inconvenience.

That would make me mad when it does happen.
You could go into safe mode and run that for a day to see if the issue pops up. Then you will know it's a software not hardware issue.
Push and hold the power button until the power menu pops up. Press and hold the power off until the safe mode prompt pops up.
Give that a try.

I'll have to do this some other time, as I have classes today and I need my apps. I'm starting to think it might be a bug with Lollipop, my apps, or maybe a combination or both as I have experienced it on two ROMs, and I'm thinking of trying another ROM.
In the mean time, any other ideas?
Are you using Facebook Messenger? I've read quite a few times (on XDA and Reddit) that Facebook Messenger and more specifically "chat heads" are causing dead spots in the top corner(s) even when none are on the screen.

I have never installed Messenger, only the regular Facebook app. I uninstalled it just yesterday however.
Perhaps I have another app that causes those dead spots? But they would have to create it all across the top part of the screen.

Do you have any other app that has the ability to produce floating "chat head" like items? The only other app I know that uses such a feature is Flyperlink, a new app (or maybe not so new, I don't know) that a lot of people just started talking about recently.

Thanks for the help.
I'm about to flash CF's ROM and run it for a few days with my most essential apps and see if I experience the problem again.

Just curious... Have you changed DPI? My notification shade acts a bit more finicky since I changed DPI.

Not that I am aware of; unless I did it a while ago and can't remember.
I think I may have figured it out though. I use AwSMS as my primary messaging app, and the Heads Up notification allows for quick reply if you swipe down. I think it behaves sorta like the floating chat things someone said earlier, because I can watch videos and leave most games running in the background without it pausing as I type.

Phone frequently hangs or touch screen unresponsive

I'm experiencing hangs or touch screen unresponsive, I think its the touch that stops responding unless you lock and unlock the phone.
I have three weeks with the phone and started yesterday right after a Factory Reset. Before that, it never happenes.
Today its better but still happen
Attach an image with the touch's firmware version
Has it happened to you?

same thing happens to me from time to time, i have the phone for 8 days now, it started maybe 3 days ago, screen unresponsiveness happened maybe 4 times to this date
temp fix for me was downloading Google GO files and using it to delete cache, it works for now, no screen freeze up to this point
I think is not the same issue, I refer to touch issue thats come unresponsive some times until you lock and unlock screen. Now I'm testing android P which have another firmware for the touch panel. I will report later if dont presents the issue.
I installed the preview of the Android P developer and used it for two days and after a day of use I had the same problem, very disappointing, I went back to version 8.1, I do not understand why this happened, I never hit it, threw it, nor nothing. I was very carefully with it.
Has this issue been fixed yet?
We have a few of these phones in our family and one of them is doing this sporadically, several times in a row and then it's fine for days.
I can't see a pattern as to when it happens though.
Short Question : any of you using the Nova Launcher? Ive got same problem but using the Nova Launcher since years. Yesterday i did a clean Nova Launcher (stable) install and not taking my Backup file... And my Problem with hanging (Touch panel not recognized often my Touch) seems gone. Dont know why but after testing a whole of things im trying the standard Launcher and it works better.. So i did a clean install of Nova.

I had a Novatek V7 version with firmware V1.017.20 with unresponsivness of the screen when laying and got it replaced. Now it's also Novatek, but with Firmware V1.017.16. what version of Android you have? I am using 8.1 Oreo. Does the android update change the firmware version of the screen?

Hi guys, do you guys Enable or Disable "Tap to wake" function? If not, try enable that function, maybe that help.
Same problem in my Nokia 5.1 Plus. automatically touched at top of time side and battery indicated area. and i cant open notification bar.
I turned ''Tap to Wake'' on and my screen has worked perfectly since then. So i think this is definetely bug, not HW problen.
has anyone managed to solve this? its diving me nuts since the past few weeks and i dont know what to do with it. I would try to fresh install the OS but if that does not fix it, ill loose everything (game saves and such) but dont fix it.
i noticed sometimes the screen does some kind of refresh and then it starts working again. But mostly i have to lock and unlock to get it working again.

The only thing that worked for me was returning the phone untill the screen was replaced.
Everything else I tried (reset, reinstall, change settings, ...) led to the same problems after a while.
