[Q] Flickering Screen - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
Have a problem with my Xperia Z, screen seems to start flickering (3lines, from top to the bottom of the screen) You can only see this while playing games. I've already had a screen replaced due to the same fault. With my previous screen it started exactly the same. First I noticed playing the game. Gradually became worse and worse (in the space of two weeks). In the end I couldn't play or browse because I was not able to see anything due to the fact the whole display flickered. Looks like its going to be the same. Hope someone can help me with that. Appreciate for any help.
Regards Luke

Half-responding screen

Left part of my screen doesn't respond to clicks! (Screenshot, issue area is on red)
Issue persists between roms (Tried GDX and stock).
A few minutes ago I realized that left side of my screen has some bright, so I compared right side (Photo) with left side (Photo).
No, that white bright is not wallpaper reflection. It's white on color wallpapers too and even on completely black wallpapers.
Any idea?
First thing that comes to my head - did you drop anything on it?
Secondly how long has this issue persisted?

1.- if you mean hit: all hits it had (almost none) were from about 15cm high.. nothing to worry about....
if you mean liquid: no
2.- about a year, because I thought it was a rom issue and I never used any other....
it has 1 year and 6or7 months
thanks for replying! i thought nobody was going to haha!
It's definitely a faulty screen or digitizer. If the issue persists across all ROMs and kernels (you don't have to check each one of them), then you should get your screen or digitizer (can't really put my finger on which is causing this) replaced.
F***.. So, there is no doubt its a hardware issue? Then i'll have to live with it -.-

[Q] Intermittent smearing (blurry) screen

Hey all,
I got this badass LG R watch for Xmas and it's never had a problem. Then a day or so ago it's started "smearing" on the screen. Anything white/lighter colour sort of ghosts or glows like it's being viewed through frosted glass.
The touch screen still works and any and all functionality is still there with no problems. It's only the view that's sort of washed out. I don't use "always on" and it's not screenburn as I've tried different watch faces and it still does it.
Worst part is: It's not permanent. It's completely intermittent and I have no idea how to duplicate it. I went to take a picture of it to go with this post, and now it's not even bloody doing it.
Not sure if it's related or not, but I've been having difficulties with my phone's OS upgrade at around the same time (4.4.3 is giving me ****s) and it's paired to that, so I don't know if that'd cause issues. Dog knows that the phone is having issues...
Any help/advice is much appreciated! Cheers!
Have run another upgrade across the phone and it appears to be bringing down the frequency of the blurriness. I'm seeing it only once or twice a day since then.
Any ideas?

Well, i think your screen is faulty. It has either been not of top notch quality like SOny and thus when there are more colours than it can produce, it flickers. It could also be due to an old screen on which water/any other liquid had been spilled. I think, wherever you got it replaced, you should go there and get it replaced again.
Good Luck.

[Q] Weird Issue with display

So I'm having some weird issue with my Sony Xperia Z, the screen works absolutely fine, but there's this mystical dissolve(my apologies, couldn't find the right word to describe this problem).
The phone have been dropped before, but nothing happend. It have always been protected by case and tempered glass. One day I noticed the text on menu starts to blur a bit. Then few days later the same started to happen with album. And the thing is I haven't dropped it in a long time. And I have never sat on it either, so that's not the cause.
And what's is most frustrating, that the pixels tend to dissolve only when picture is in background, if its pure black or any other color nothing dissolves. And screen works perfectly in games, but when I view pictures or i open even the menu it starts to act real weird.

PS - I already tried reboot in safe mode, complete factory reset through sony companion, opened it up and reconnected everything connected to lcd and digitizer.
PSS - Today I noticed that the picture blurs on colored image, while on black&white one it is perfect, any ideas?
I am facing the same problem. Havent got a solution yet.
Dont have a perfect solution but atleast i can help you with a trick of my own.
This is going to drain your battery quicker then normal
Go to google play and download screen filter and set it b/w 30 and 34 and adjust your phones brightness to half or even more than that
Im sure you wont be satisfied but atleast it wont give you tears while looking at the screen.

Screen Problem

I've bought an Xperia Z3+ two months ago, recently, I've discovered a certain bright spot on its screen, it's particularly available in white and bright backgrounds, it's less noticeable in black backgrounds, and not at all noticeable in non-solid backgrounds.
I know that it's a hardware issue, but the warranty here is a joke, and I don't want to pay for a new screen for such a small issue.
But on the other hand, once I noticed it, it's all I could see in the mobile, and it removes the whole premium feel in it.
I've manually removed the back cover and there's no issue in the battery that would make it press towards the screen and cause such issue.
I was wondering if there's any manual fix for it? I know that it's a light diffusing layer problem, mostly caused by a certain pressure, but is there a way to make it normal again? A certain pressure in an opposite way, or heat, or suction from behind, etc.
Here's a picture that indicates the issue "It's more visible and annoying in real life"
I have the exact same problem at the very same position as you point. My country does not support officially the Z3+ and so the cost is really high. I searched enough on the internet and i think it is where the vibration is but i cannot confirm it. I also see it all the time because i simply know it is right there. At my case, there are other 2 spots but not seen so easy.
I only hope not to get bigger. I wish i knew what caused this so to be carefull (such as sun exposure or something else - although i am REALLY careful as a person with my mobile phones). I cannot help you and i got really dissapointed after my long search on the web so i will have to live with that. It is hardware problem as i really tried everything to find out that.
Hope someone has any solution. It is not only on our phone but to others too. I hope the post won't get lost after some days!

That's so weird, I thought it was caused by an anonymous fall that I wasn't aware of, the other point is barely noticeable but it's at the top left.
Also, my upper speakers started to produce mixed loud and faint sounds when i play something whike the volume is below 25%.
It's winter, and I usually text near heatrrs, which made me think that the speakers problem was caused by the heater and the screen problem was caused by a particular fall.
Since the warranty is useless I've manually disassembled the phone and there's nothing behind that spot of screen except battery, the vibrator is way below the navkeys, there's no screen on the other side of it, which actually seems to prove that our spots are similar by coincidence, because there's no pressure on the other side except for battery, and I highly doubt yours is faulty, because mine isn't.
My z3+ single sim also has the spot at the same place, but it isnt that noticable since i use auto brightness, really weird, i thought because maybe of accidental high press when the phone was in my pocket.Anyway, I'll switch to XZ premium in december, that sh*t is dope
On the top left corner i have too! So it is not a coincidence. Something is there that you couldn't see when you opened it. I only hope it doens't get worse..
I have it too not only there also in the right bottom corner and a line of 1 centimeters like 1 inch bow in the left upper corner one day was not in there and to the other plaff they appear
Sent from my E6533 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Now that multiple people have it, I started to suspect that there's actually something.
I might open if again when I can't live with it anymore, but for now I'll try to enjoy it as it's new, and hopefully won't get worse.
I have a z3 and z4 that also have these white spots..no way to fix. look up tv lcd problems your not gonna be able to fix....it gonna keep me from buying anymore sonys till they switch to oled.
I have the same problem in the same position and it was happen after a warranty repair.... Sony didn't have noticed it....
