[Q] Xperia SP multitouch problem? - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem

Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?

I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?

CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

I see! Thanks for the info.
Please post your results after the factory reset, I will do the same if it works for you!

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.

Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Yeah but when I start the phone it works just fine...It's after a while that the problem happens...
Even if I don't open an app, it's still happening...

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.

I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

Well safe mode isn't the solution....you can't be onto safe mode for ever...
It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

When I start up the phone and start a game like Shadow Fight, it works fine for me too. But when I launch another game that's where it starts to delay...
I don't know what else to do...thanks for your help man

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

If it is a problem with the sd card, dismount and mount the card (format) should fix the problem...
If not, re-flash it.
Bahh! i think i found it!
Peeps... don't disable music player in apps
I'm restored phone to factory... and tested app by app (lot of restarts was here =) and after i disabled music player BANG! reboot was broken.
The bad is if you enable it again - reboot will be still broken ... until new factory recovery.

If you had mentioned in your OP that you were screwing around with the apps then you would have got the correct advice a lot sooner, rather than running around in circles. Next time, please post ALL salient information when you ask for help.

Yea.. but i was not sure ... anyway its happens again... and is completely random =( (so - not app problem)
Sometime "Power of and restart" work OK .. next time no =(
Tried with all versions of Euro-open firmware, restored, factory reset and its same story. Strange is that
phone works just normal when i power-on on button (long hold) boots OK and all functions are OK.
I'm noticed that restart is happen when phone check sdcard (or mount) and checks for media (and just power off).
I removed sdcard but problem is still there =(
Is it possible that maybe heat can course shutdown?
Any ideas?

Its not the heat , unless you keep it in the oven while its off, and the oven must be on... :laugh:
Downgrade to a earlyer version, v10a or other, then do a factory reset, upgrade to the latest BY WEB!!! root and factory reset again deleting all data.
Should be enough :fingers-crossed:

[Q] [HELP] Phone Freezes!

Hello guys,
I`m from Brazil and was on UK 10H for weeks, maybe months with no problem. One day trying to increase my battery life I disabled all the safe list found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018587&page=4
From that day forth I started to get phone freezes everyday for no apparent reason, so I did a factory data reset, flashed to official Brazilian V20a through LG Mobile support tool. Re-rooted, factory reset again and the problem is still here!! ::crying: Now on JB it seems like it usually freezes after unlocking the first screen, but sometimes randomly using any app.
I made a video with it today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4IPNb8mNC8&feature=youtu.be
At first when you unlock, the screen looks right, but when you try to click anything it doesn`t respond. After a while it says: "home has stopped working" I click to close it and I get exactly what you see on the video. Looks like the lock screen clock continues to work, but the "inside clock" doesn't.
Do you have any ideia what I could do?? Currently using superuser. Pleease help!
Thanks :highfive:

There will be other opinions, choose the best for you...
My advice is, re-flash your phone using LGFlash Tool.
Root it, install SuperSU and install it in system (Superuser will be uninstalled and all related files).
Install Busybox if you'll need it, for Lucky Patcher etc...
After that, proceed with uninstall/freeze un-wanted/ no needed apps.
Clean Dalvik-cache and it should be all.
Already tried to install another launcher? I think it is launcher related

I`ve read somewhere about bad widgets on the home screen, so I removed all my widgets and I`m waiting to see if it works. Almost a day now with no problems.. if it doesn`t work I`ll try your ideas! Thanks!

[SOLVED] My Xperia t touchscreen suddenly doesn't work anymore

Yesterday I went to a party, nothing wrong with the xperia t. When I got home I let it recharge. I think it still worked at that moment. Pretty sure it did. Went to sleep. Woke up. My phone battery was empty lol. Still in the recharger. Did some stuff, let it recharge some more. Got it to boot up again. Now touch screen doesn't work anymore . Tried wiping cache, factory reset. Still not working.
I have cm-10.1.3-RC2-mint installed. I think I might have to update it. This could be the problem.
Any more tips for if it doesn't work? never had this problem before. I hope it is a software thingy.
I updated the firmware but still doesn't work. I think im gonna re-install the stock firmware, and flash a stock kernel which will unroot my mobile. Any tips? please? I can't use my phone at all atm. It just stays at the cyanogenmod install screen..
Reflash the touch firmware

I would like to try that thing with adb, but as I have already reinstalled cyanogenmod, developer options/debugging is turned off. I can't use ADB. Unless you know another way.
So this is totally getting out of hand.. (and I don't know if that is also a english expression lol).
I tried reflashing a stock firmware. Worked, but touchscreen still doesn't work. Then I noticed, that I now don't have cwm anymore... how the f?
SO I probably forgot to exclude the kernel. So now I tried reflashing a kernel with cwm, but flashtool doesn't recognize the kernel files... I don't know what is going on..
Ah already found the problem. Got cwm back phewww..
So here is what needs to be done. I want to try gregbradleys adb shell fix but my usb debugging is off and this means that I can't use adb, as I don't have touchscreen.
So, is there any way, any way at all, to enable usb debugging without touching the screen? Maybe a kernel with that settings automaticly set?
Im getting a bit angry at my phone now.. I didn't even do anything to break it in the first place. Just tried recharging it, and that killed the touchscreen? lol. Help will be appreciated. Im out of ideas.
Get a usbotg cable and attach a usb mouse
Then use that to turn debugging on
When you flash a stock firmware you lose recovery.

thanks, I'll get one tomorrow. I hope it will help. You've helped me before so im pretty confident that you fix my problem again haha. You are a boss.
A non responsive touch screen happened to me too after I flashed a wrong firmware. I flashed back the version that was on before, but it didn't help. Only after I flashed this (pretty old) version Xperia T - 7.0.A.1.303 Generic DE with Flashtool, the touch screen started to working again. I am not sure, maybe any ftf would work. But I know that I had success with this one.
You should try gregbradleys method first though. Funny, that your touch screen stopped working, without you modifying anything. Hopefully it's not a hardware problem.

hmmm, I tried this and it worked. problem solved. I did however not have wrong firmware installed, but it was an rc2 version of cm. So it can be unstable and stuff, but this was kind of a big problem.

Hey, glad your phone is ok again. I remember when that happened to me. I just had the phone for a couple weeks. Shat my pants, thinking I wrecked it. It worked out at the end, though. Feels good to recover a bricked phone, doesn't it.

I'm pretty sure it's not a virus (are there even mobile viruses?) so you should be 50% calmed down now. As for the problem, I've got no idea what's happening, but you should flash a completely stock ROM (without wiping nothing at first) and see if the problem persists. If it does, try factory reseting the newly installed stock ROM and then everything should be OK (however make a backup of all your important data as you'll lose it).

Seriously annoying problem after lollipop upgrade

I have the HTC one m7,stock/unrooted. Im not sure if this problem is because of a bug or a setting that needs to be changed. When the screen is off I'm somehow able to turn the screen back on by pressing either volume button. This becomes annoying when I have it in my front pocket when I'm working and I take out my phone to check a message and see that the screen was on the whole time. Then when I double tap the home button to see my recent apps, I notice that random apps are open including the camera and sometimes it would call/text random people. If you are wandering how it is sitting while in my pocket, the power button is @ the top,so the only keys being pressed is the volume rocker. Before lollipop I never had this issue. I have already tried a factory reset (not a app issue) and clearing system cache to no avail. Another thing I've noticed I'd when I'm on the home screen with the phone unlocked I'm able to use it in landscape mode. If anyone can give me a permanent solution to this problem I'd greatly appreciate it.
This is very odd since the problems you're telling is actually a feature of some custom roms. I'd suggest you to backup your internal storage and RUU.

Yes but not the one you make on the phone. You download the RUU tool to factory reset the phone, it should fix your problem.

RUU will wipe entire OS and reflash it. Phone factory reset wont work if some of your system files are corrupt or missing. You can find them on android developement section prior to your variant
