[Q] Xperia Z gpu or screen problem? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all new to this,
i recently broke my screen after dropping it, so i bought a new screen and replaced it all ok everything worked fine etc etc
But yesterday after playing a game i noticed my phone screen was showing half a dozen blurry line on it that moved with the image on the screen scrolling up and down and would refresh when the top of the screen was reached.
So i restarted, soft reset even factory reset and its still there.
It eases up on the home screen but if i view an image from album it would be really blurry.
So is it graphics related or screen? Im assuming graphics and also my phone when playing certain games viewing videos always has got hot on the case at the back top of phone where the motherboard sits. Any ideas?!?
Cheers
See picture attached or both image and home screen.

Line on Screen sometimes

I have a problem with my Tilts screen, on some programs I can see a line running across the screen right where the bottom bar for the softkeys is located. When I am using the camera it appears to be green, and when i open up the tab for the options it is white, its not that visible to most people but I can clearly see it, and it and it is extremely annoying I will take some pictures of it later, just wanted to know if anyone has the same problem
looks a hardware fault to me...is it happening on landscape and portrait mode?
I have problem with horizontal line on the screen only in camera (3Mpix) mode. This line apper on the taken foto. I thin it must be camera ... I hope this will be fixed soon...
I send mine back for repair, because of the horizontal and vertical lines in camera mode.

it happens on both, the problem kinda reminds me of those old crt monitors where if you had the same thing on the screen too long it would burn in. the line is on the left side of the screen and looks exactly like the shiny part of the left softkey is.

Bouloama:
Was it repaird or did you get a new one ? I now that it's diffrent in every country but how long were you left without phone ?
I'm still in the waiting, the TNT guy just picked it up. They promised me it will take 10 days max. This includes the time for sending it back to me.
So hopefully i'll get it back before 15 dec. I think they will replace my cameralens, since there is a white dead pixel on it. But who knows...
Im having the same problem.
I just received my MDA Vario III yesterday.
I installed the hardSPL and flashed with dutty's latest rom.
I also took a contacts pic of my dad, hehe.
But today, I started the camera and noticed a red line running across the cam.
So I took the picture, and checked the pic. It seemed the red line was taken with the picture. This does mean there's some hardware problem. Also, I found another topic on the internet with more people complaining about it:
Click!
I just called T-Mobile and they wouldnt help me cause the contract's on my dad's name. (A few years back when I wasn't 18 yet)
Anybody else who has experienced this problem?
i just took a pic of my monitor in low light conditions - i have a totally black screen with only the taskbar visible (light gray) i found that taking a picture in landscape mode, the night mode or some **** is causing all pixels along that line to darken (??) see this link for an example (3mp @ fine)
note: this happens in landscape mode probably because the orientation of the line of pixels is in line with the pixels of the camera (cant seem to reproduce it when the device is upright [ie the taskbar spans the 240, not the 320]) - this could either be the utterly _crap_ nightmode filter software or could be due to the ccd itself - i dont really know enough about camera technology to determine which is the cause (you think maybe the crap nightmode filter determines the gamma of horizontal lines based only on the pixels in that line? that would explain this effect and if so thats just plain ****)
My Kaiser has new camera. It took only one day to repair it. I've heard that camera in Kaiser is made by Samsung ... (it was mentioned in service report)
Now it's all ok. I wonder how long ...

Problems with pictures in touch flow

sincetoday a have this problem...when going to touch flow pictures and make a fingertip to the photo it goes big and in one ore two seconds it goes back to the touch flow screen by itself.
any chance to correct this ? scrolling through the pictures is no problem but when I open it it goes small by itself
someone the same problem ?
Try soft resetting your Diamond and see if it still happens...if it does then try a hard reset..if it still does it then it could be the phone is faulty and needs to be returned.
Mine doesnt do that as far as i can see.

display errors

HI guys..
I have a weird problem..
Sometimes the screen shows up with a weird diagonal overlay. A couple of times the screen has just been blank, but with full touch screen capability. Anyone else experienced this?
I am presuming that its ROM related, as removing the battery for a few seconds seems to solve it (the blank screen issues) or soft off-ing and on-ing the device for the diagonal lines.
it is weird though!
I'd try hard resetting your phone, to test if it's gone. If it isn't after a hard reset, then I'd send it back.
Frozen screen
My TD2 was just a week old. After I installed a screen canvas software my screen did not react anymore except the hardware keys. I have no other choice but to hard reset my TD2. Another weird is that I was still not able to have my screen reactable in the connection setup once after the hard reset. I have to remove the SIM card and try another soft reset and this put back my TD2 to have the connection setup again without problem. I wonder if I have my TD2 back to service centre or to the shop for a return, but the device seems not having trouble now. Wish my TD2 can work without this issue again.
My TD2 sometimes have a VERY little white line in the very upper-left corner of the display.
If i rotate the screen in landscape mode, that line will remain in the upper-left corner, but in landscape (in vertical mode it will be in the upper-right).
And with Coreplayer i always see, in fullscreen mode, 2 purple lines or a green lines in the upper screen.
Even yours TD2? I tought it was finixNoverbattery, but even uninstaling it the problems are there.

Does anyone else have an unresponsive touch screen?

I first noticed this on a running game where you have to hold down either the left or right side of the screen to move in that direction. It would usually register the first press, but not that I had held my finger down so I wasnt moving properly. I thought this was due to the game it's self rather than my phone.
I've just downloaded Naugh where you have to rotate the screen by touching either side of the phone, and again the same issue. It's really unresponsive - It will recognise the tap but not that i've held it, it will stop working. Occasionaly this will also happen when scrolling a page.
I did a quick google search and found that the Z1 had this issue, but havent found a fix.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or if not, any suggestions on figuring out whats wrong?
Edit: I recorded a video of exactly what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW2gCWpThWc
I don't know if my problem with my screen is related to yours, but i'm experiencing some problems as well.
On the picture i attached in this post is a picture taken of my screen with a black background.
In the middle of the screen there is a slight discolouring, and in this particular spot the touch screen is very unresponsive, i'm especially noticing this when playing candy crush, making it almost impossible to swap the two candies in this particular spot
Both of these sound a bit like my problem was at first, but mine quickly got worse (in hours) and then I found the hairline crack in the screen.
Bottom corner and not in a part of the screen that displays anything - just the 'glass' front at the bottom - but a third of the screen near the middle doesn't respond to touch.
It gradually got worse over a couple of hours until it stopped responding altogether.

The Hardest Problem: Home screen glitch-only

Hey guys!
So I'll put a video of my cellphone and how the problem looks like right below.
Last week I installed a few apps from Play Store for studying and after a while the phone screen started to behave with a glitch: It started to flash some vertical lines and sometimes parts of the screen are placed in other places. If I touch the screen where an icon used to be but due to the glitch it is in another place of the screen the app opens normally. Like this glitch is more about an illusion. Sometimes the whole screen can go black or white and then it turns off. Sometimes the colour scheme is inverted. (In the video you can see itbetter)
When I try to turn on the screen again by pushing the Power Button the screen can blink quickly so I can't unlock it.
I saw a lot of things on internet but actually nothing really helped me. I suspected that it was a kind of virus but I changed the ROM 3 times (flashing Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android 4.4 KitKat) and the problem still haunts me. When I'm setting the cellphone up the screen is OK and everytime I can open an app this glitch stops. (As you can see in the video) But when I go to the home screen this glitch starts immediatly.
I've heard that it has to do with the battery or it is a hardware problem. But I don't know why this problem only happens in the home screen. On fastboot screen the screen is OK too.
I'm trying this forum really hoping that someone appears with the solution. Thank you so much!
