I have done a reasonable amount of searching on this and have not found anything specific to my problem so figured I should post a question.
I have an issue with my Dimaond when it gets hot generally either using Wifi or Phone Data connection that the screen goes out. Basically everything goes to the left side of the phone so if you hit the Task Icon in the top right corner you get the Start Menu. Phone is basically useless at this point and you have to wait for it to cool down. Has happened since day one and is generally worse when using it when charging. I was watching Utube on it the other night 5min video while on AC charge and it went out. I am running Dutty 2.5 Rom and 25.07 radio have tryed 25.08 and 25.05 no difference was happening when the phone had orginal HTC ROM as well. Also will happen on a long call if the screen is on.
Basically feel issue is hardware related and maybe faulty screen still under warrenty so wanted to know peoples opinion on weather I should send back. Problem is will take a couple of weeks and I don't really wnat to wait that long if I can help it. Also assume it would be best to flash standard ROM back, should I do anything with HARDSPL eg should this be changed back as well if I send it back.
And before anyone says it I have tryed searching this topic and have found lots about HOT dimaonds but nothing related to screen going out at the same time :-(
Thanks
I had this issue in my JasJam (Hermes) whre the screen would simply go white after a while of use and I would have to leave it for a while for it to work again.
Unfortunately it sa hardware issue and you should claim a warranty repair on it
I can't see how this could be a software problem so I figured it must be the screen eg hardware related. Would be nice to know if anyone has had the same issue with a dimaond... Seems we may be spending some time apart, just hope it doesn't take long to fix..
I've had the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428976
My first device had been replaced recently (i.e. today) by my network provider (o2) and the new device seems to work without any problems now even if it's "hot".
(i.e. default screen adjustment + creating heat by activating the phone, wlan, bt + recharging it)
I sent an email to HTC regarding the fault and they said it would have to go back for a warrenty repair. I brought it through a resellar so has to go back to HK from NZ so will be away three weeks uurggghhh... Just seems odd I don't have any physical damage on the screen but hte problem has been around since day one as I remember having the problem the first day I got it. Juyst seems to be getting worse and is easily reproduced by usiung utube over wifi gets hot and it is all over. Just wondering if I should put an offical ROM from HTC back on the device before I send it back as I currenty am running Dutty ROM, what do you think....
i put the original rom back on and they still found out the the rom had been flashed, and would not repair on warranty
yep, i also asked about this problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438733
there are some youtube video's of how the phone behaves
my phone seems to do it less frequently since stopping using panosha's rom
im using alpha zero 7 at the moment..
i've also noticed that it isnt necessarily a heat issue, my phone does it completely at random
yesterday i found though, that when the phone did the alignment issue, i gave it a good shake.. and hey.. its all aligned again?!
maybe it was just a fluke, it hasnt freaked out since..
holding thumbs
Hey,
I also have the same screen problem, but my Alignment goes to right.
If I press on the left side, a press on the right side is recognized.
Good to know that Im not the only one with this problem.
greets doena
I got my phone back a week ago replaced the screen has been away for over two months, complete disaster, anyway all sorted now and I have not had the problem since....
I had this exact same issue (out of the box).
It was a hardware fault and I exchanged it for another one.
Haven't had any problems since.

Hardware's fault ? Most likely not. I will give u an example of why I think it was software related. My device ran hot as well but I simply switched roms and now it's the complete opposite. Your most recent device most likely come with a different Rom in the phone.
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..

I'm disappointed..
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.

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.
Hello lovely people of XDA.
Both my wife and me have the Z1, i for my part have experienced screen self cracking and now she is experiencing touch malfunction.
It acts out from time to time, making typing a pain in the a** and playing games even more dificult.
F.ex. if she presses the F key, it registers the D etc.
Ive made a video of this availible here:
http://youtu.be/McGnrGfVpq8 (Sorry about the music, but there was too mutch background noise).
This happens on the home screen, during Candy Crush(yeah i know) and during texting.
Ive repaired the phone twice(previous and newest firmware) via Sony PC Software and still its no good.
It even acted out on the first boot.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
Can't seem too find any solution.

Theres a well documented thread about touchscreen issues, I myself was one of the people it affected, your problem sounds slightly different.
The method to test was put the phone on a flat surface and make contact with the screen, move around and if you notice a break in contact then you more than likely have the bug.
Holding the metal frame of the phone in your hand eradicated the issue for some (me included) but it was certainly a pain.
My problem went away on it's own but some weren't so lucky.
Have a search for the thread in here, it's more than likely still active.
If nothing helps from that thread then it's more than likely a case of doing a warranty repair. (if it's the same issue)
Hello there and thank you for your reply.
As it seems to me there has been no solution to the problem, ive tried holding the phone without a case and the problem persist.
People are talking about the new update fixing it, but ive tried both updating and reseting the phone so that did not do anything.
It seems like the only thing to do is to send it in for a warranty repair.
With my self cracking the workshop told me that some of the frames where faulty placed in the factory and therefore might crack the screen after a long time under pressure.
Perhaps this is related somehow, though it feels and looks like a software bug.
Thank you for your reply, i'll be sure to keep a look out on that thread. (i found it now, but i could not find it before i posted this :S)
Thanks again
The kitkat update was rumored to remedy these touch screen issues. Have you updated? My C6906 was giving me occasional touch screen issues but they are non-existent after updating.
Sent from my C6906 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes i have installed Kit Kat, seemed to help at first but started acting out again the same day.
I even did a factory reset with newest firmware downloaded through PC Companion.
I'll keep looking around and post my findings.(If any)
Update:
So we both sent our phones to the service center and sold them right afterwards. Could not find a solution for the problem and the service center ended up replacing my handset and my wifes screen.
I now have a Nexus 6(it's so fantastic!) and she has an iPhone6 plus(Blaaarh...)...
Dear friends,
I am having serious issues with my HTC one m7 lately - cant remember if they started exactly after the 4.4.2 update or not.
Anyhow it seems that there is a dead spot on the screen that it doesn't recognize when i touch it. Plus the phone has been acting weird lately like it doesn't have signal and when ever i try to call from it although it has full signal it doesn't call.
Has anyone been experiencing the same problems? :crying:
My phone is completely stock, never got rooted just following the usual OTA updates.\
Phone was working great and i loved it, but now it's just unbearable- i cant press buttons on a horizontal line in the center of the screen.
Need your help.
Thanks.
