So having installed the latest version of the CM7 port for Milestone from here: android.doshaska.net I have now encountered a new problem - ghost touches.
My problem is very similar to what is being shown in this thread over on the cyanogenmod forums: (I would post a link here but it seems that as a new poster I an unable to! - search google for "cyanogenmod 7 ghost touch problem" and there's a video on the first link. Alternatively, the youtube code for said video is s5Zm_pSxDZE ) - I'm getting multiple, constant touches on the left hand side of my touchscreen about 1/5th of the way from the bottom.
This has only started happening since flashing to that particular version of CM7 (previously I was on stock 2.2.1 with NO such problem) so I am very seriously doubting a hardware issue. It seems way too coincidental.
Anyone on here had any such issues and managed to fix it?

Sorry, as the people say in the video comments, and as my phone has.. This is a hardware problem... Give it to warranty, if you are out of luck (or warranty), you can repair it changing the digitizer.
Xperia X Performance (F8132) Accelerometer failure & Screen Auto-rotate irresponsive
Hi All,
I got an issue bothering me since I bought Xperia X Perfomance (F8132) Mid June.
The auto rotate function failed after a while but everything goes fine after reboot.
When it fails, I use "Xperia Service Menu" -> "Service Tests" -> "Accelerometer",
then all X,Y,Z are zero and the ball just sticks and freezes at mid.
I bought from Taiwan and I can find 15 more people having the same symptom with me on 2 forums
( http://mobile01.com and http://gamer.com.tw ).
Hence I don't think it's only me and it's a common issue or common yield problem for Xperia X Perfomance.
I post here because I'd like to find more people with the same issue and raise the attention of SONY in order to find the root cause (i guess it's either over-heat causes this or accelerometer yield issue) and give a patch.
Now I'm using a APP "Rotation Control" to workaround this, but all photos cannot records correct orientation data and no auto-rotate is kinda inconvenient.
For a flag-ship and high-priced cellphone for SONY this year, it is very disappointing to me. :crying:
Version: 35.0.A.1.227 and 35.0.A.1.238 both occur

I also have that problem. No more auto-rotation after a while (1-2 days) . Only a reboot fixes that

Thank you for letting us know.
It shows it's not a regional FW issue but a global HW or FW one.
I wonder if SONY knowing this. If not, we need to address this and push SONY to work it around.
And if it is not workaroundable, SONY will have a big problem.
I have the same issue on my Xperia X (F5121) bought in Sweden. Haven't checked the accelerometer but the behaviour is the same and reboot is only fix.
I have not had any problems with auto rotation, my accelerometer works fine but my touch screen is messed up

Can you specify "messed up"? I've had issues with the touch screen also, mostly that it registers a tap while I'm scrolling resulting in involuntary tapping on links. Also it often takes a while to start scrolling, as if the screen has a hard time recognising the swipe.
I have the same problem. The accelerometer stop working 15 minutes after reboot.
Help me verify if is caused by a third party app or not.
Use your phone in safe mode for a while.
I'm from Hong Kong, the accelerometer and its auto-rotation of my x performance has the same problem that it won't work until i reboot my phone.
I dont think that is caused by a app crashing when the problems occuring in all around the world.
The issue didnt come to me when I was not yet update to 35.0.A.1.282. Please notice this problem SONY. It seriously affected the satisfaction from user of the phone from your brand.
There is a topic on the Sony support forum - see here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-X-Performance/Accelerometer-stops-working/m-p/1158490#U1158490
At least they are aware of the problem. As soon as it happens again on my phone, I will send them my logs. I will report any development...
It seems that I uninstall the AR effects in my phone and reboot, it works again
Rotation fails
Hello guys,
I have the same problem. Yesterday it worked fine, but today, the auto rotate don't work. Very disappointing. Only a reboot can help but not every time.
Sony has to do something with it.
Gyroscope/Auto-Rotation Issue
Hey everyone,
I'm also having this same issue, but only since the most recent update from late September. When trying to make a pic display as fullscreen by rotating the phone, nothing happens, unless I reboot the phone. Then within day or two, it starts happening again. When I go to camera it loads up and STAYS in landscape mode, no matter what I do, even closing it out and clearing out the cache & force stopping it then reactivating it. It seems like a software issue that Sony needs to address PRONTO!
It appears another thread here on XDA is dealing with the same issue. I tried shenlong85's idea and it seems to have fixed the issue, but I need another day or so to make sure. If you don't hear from me by Sunday (10/23), assume it's been fixed. Hopefully the Nougat update we're all about to get any day now will permanently fix it!
The memory uninstall updates only prolong the issues. Seems like the firmware issue earlier on.
Nougat... When are u coming?

Well, we'll see. I am giving my XP 'til Sunday........if no more auto-rotate issues by then, then I will consider your idea to be gold. lol Of course, once we get Nougat, I'm hoping it will ensure that the issue never comes back period. As of this time, the issue has NOT returned.
I bought my Xperia X Performance from Kogan who sells imports in Australia from Asia and I have the exact same issues with my orientation and touchscreen. However my jumpy touchscreen only seems to occur while charging.

I tried shenlong85's idea, but less than 24 hours after trying it, I switched my phone from Portrait to Landscape to view a 16:9 widescreen pic I had in my Album, and it WOULD not auto-rotate the pic. So unfortunately this "trick" doesn't work either.
Just have to hope Sony includes a fix with the Nougat update we're about to get any day now from them.
I'm noticing now too that once the Auto-Rotate function stops working, so does Smart Call Handling. Have to swipe screen once again to take calls. Hurry up Nougat!! lol
I'm having the same issue and the only help I'm getting from Sony support is to factory reset my device :\ I'm hoping Nougat makes it's way to our devices soon. I really like this phone and this is a pretty big issue to have.

I agree Spencer. And yes Sony Mobile told me the same thing. I'll do a repair (which yes, includes a factory reset) only IF Nougat doesn't fix it. They say we're getting it "in or close to October", so I'm guessing it's gotta be coming any day now. Hopefully they include a fix with Nougat though and I don't have to do that. Getting tired of this BS with Sony. My Z3 had an issue where if I turned on Stamina Mode, it would 1) mess with my MMS (group/pic/video) text messages.........you don't know how many times I had to ask ppl to resend those to me and how much that sucked lol 2) Cause a "random" battery drain. Only fix was a factory reset. I FINALLY got wise and realized it was SM and kept it off. Found a great app called 360 Hibernation Master that did what SM was supposed to do but better, MINUS the buggy BS. But OF COURSE it doesn't work on any X series phone (at least not my XP), so I'm stuck with SM now. At least Sony Mobile FINALLY fixed that bug with SM so that's not an issue anymore. lol
It is a big issue, and it makes me not want to keep buying their phones.
Hello,
I don't know if it has already raised by someone or it's just my impression but with the latest MIUI EU update (v.12.0.4.0) I experience a slight delay with the feedback of the touchscreen, basically the phone freezes for few seconds. This happens rarely, it's not a proper issue but still, it is.
I suppose this will be fixed with the next (and I hope) imminent (hopefully) system update. Has someone experienced this issue too?
My phone popped up with an update the other day. My wedding day no less. It was the one with the July security patch and said camera improvements.
Now it seems like auto focus is broken on my camera. I have tried resetting the settings in the camera app. The wide angle lense looks fine. I've tried 3rd party camera apps and they are the same. One of them popped up a message saying the lens could be dirty but I know it's not.
I'll likely try a factory reset next before I send it back but just wondering if anyone else has this issue. Not sure if it's a hardware or software issue.
Ok so I've read online... Hit it!
Sure enough a sharp tap on the side and it suddenly auto focused still not sure if that's hardware or software but it seems many people on the Samsung forum have the same issue.
Wow...that sounds scary..almost like OIS locked the lens and was not letting go.
Yeah I'm still not sure if it's a hardware fault or what but it can't be healthy for it. I'm glad I'm not the only one but a little worried about it.
There has got to be more people with this issue?!
I am also facing the same issue since the August software update.From my previous experience with note 20 ultra I can tell that is a software bug that can be fixed by an update.But I wonder when they addresses the issue and fix it.

My network O2 have accepted it as a repair request. I have had an email saying they are sending out a REPLACEMENT device. Not my original one repaired... I'm wondering if this means it is indeed a hardware fault.
Same problem here also. Blurry on zoom. Zoom doesn't work anymore. Not bigger than x9.9
Same here since the last update. I'd say odds on 90% Chance software issue rather than hardware.
The July update is the issue I think. Before then no issues at all
I'm nothing this too. Stuck on the the July update here in Aus and thr camera constantly blurry
Whatsapp video call camera quality is garbage its like sketchy version
Also video massage in telegram
Are you guys facing this and how to fix it
It seems like camera is not optimized for such apps
Hi! I bought the 6Gb RAM version today and I just realized that whatsapp video it's just as you describe, a terrible quality, but in Facebook Messenger it's the expected quality. It seems other people is having an App video quality realted issue too.
have you tried turning off power saving on whatsapp ? that can mess up apps

Will try this to see if makes any difference
I have this issue as well.
I reported to them about this Bug via Feedback function three months ago.
Is xiaomi/redmi known that they dont bother to fix these Kind of Bugs? And leave it like that forever.
Do you guys think they will fix it soon? Or did they already fix it with a12 beta?
