I just updated to lollipop a few days ago, wasn't having any issues and then all of a sudden my front facing ('selfie') camera stopped working.
The button simply wasn't there for a while and the stock camera app or third party apps won't work (Google camera, instagram, etc.). After rebooting into safe mode I got the camera switch button back but the screen is just black when I switch to the front camera, and I'll get an error after a while / it'll freeze.
I recently did a PC companion repair and it still won't work. I've also deleted camera data and cache, reset, at least 3-4 times and nada.
Could someone help? I was going to factory reset it but if the repair didn't do anything I thought I'd ask here first so I don't have to set everything up again. I asked on sony support forums and they weren't helpful...surprise surprise. I think this is a lollipop glitch, I've heard of similar issues with the Nexus 5 / 6.

Anyone else have this issue?
No one else has had this issue?
I don't want to send the phone back if it's a known Lollipop bug...

Hi
I've updated from ICS to JB about a week ago, now experiencing too many self reboots from my phone, when I have a call it reboots, when I searching something in a menu it reboots, when I just look at it it reboots, sounds crazy and funny but its true, I thing Xperia T is one of the worst products made by Sony, quality is a wrong word for this phone.
Does anyone know how to fix this bug, please help!?

Try to update, it will tell you the phone is up to date but give you the option to Repair My Phone.
It is probably some HW issue
It doesn't matter if I have stockrom or custom (as we speak iHackers stockrom 1.1) the touch drives me crazy.. For an example when I surf on the Web and want to scroll down it works time to time then suddenly when I press my finger on screen it locks on that spot and start zooming page instead.
Exact same problem with the Facebook app.. Some setting? Would really like to disable it. If it's possible.

There's already a thread dedicated to the touch issues if you search a bit. In my opinion it's a hardware issue. I think it has something to do with a short somewhere between the case and screen.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47791462
There is no need for forum members to start a new thread about the same issue every day. You could have posted your question in any of these 4 threads that discuss the exact same issue.

And to answer your question, it isn't a setting and it isn't related to any specific apps. It's a widspread issue that affects a lot of Z1's and while there are many suspicions, there isn't any confirmation whether it's a hardware or software problem. A Sony rep called Rickard has posted about a fix that is coming in the next software update here but it remains to be seen if that fix actually works.
Right now the best advice we can give you is to take your Z1 to the place you purchased it from and ask them to get it repaired or replace it with a new one under warranty.

Welocome aboard with the Touch Screen Issues. (just kidding, I know its not happy time)
BTW, return your phone to the Store where you bought it to repair or replace via warranty. It's 100% faulty device.

I didn't. Do you have the link? I think they are aware now of this problem and they try to fix it, I hope so, but for the solution we still waiting.
Mine did the same thing, I tried rebooting it and the problem went away for a day or so, so now I use an auto reboot to reboot every morning at 3am. Done this for three weeks now and the problem has vanished.

Maybe on 4.2 you didn't know how to reproduce it but if you want to know my touch screen get worse after upgrade to .290 so you are not the only one.

It's the same. Touch screen do not recognize the movement of the finger but it do like you will just touch it one time, touch screen problem. Had problem even on scrolling pages.

correct, also when long pressing you can see that the screen fails to recognize the touch after a few seconds. really annoying when playing games.

I recently rooted my xperia z1 using the easy root method without installing any custom recovery. So now im on stock 4.4.4 build ___.157 and i recently realized that my camera button is not working anymore. That is to say that whenever i press it just nothing happens. Even when the stock camera app is on, the button doesn't click anything let alone focusing. This happens in all the camera addons. The only root apps i have installed right now are root checker pro and xposed framework (modules: advanced power menu, full acess sd kitkat). Please help me through this. Also, this is my first android phone and my first time rooting it. Please help. Thanks.
Is it focusing alone and doesn't do the click sound? I think your camera button is broken.

I think I already mentioned that it is neither focusing nor clicking anything. It's just lying there like a plastic show piece and nothing happens when I click it. Also my phone is only 10 months old and this problem has started only after I rooted my phone.

Sorry, my mistake. I am very curious to know what happened to that button, your best bet is to unroot and send to service center if its in warranty. But rooting won't damage hardware parts as far as I know.

Yeah that's what I've been having a hard time understanding too. But how come it stooped working right after rooting? I guess I'll have to repair it.. No other choice left I'm really disappointed with this situation plus there's no diagnostic test for such a situation too now. It's saddening!
I hope your device gets repaired as soon as possible. :/
Oh and post what happened and what was repaired if don't mind.
Hi guys,
I just bought an Asus Rog 3 in "used like new condition" and I am experiencing glitches on my screen. Here is a screen recording of a site I experienced this at its worst:
This also happens if I am on a video call and at the same time I am browsing on google.com
I've also experienced this (in a minor way) while playing Call of Duty. Is it a minor glitch? Can it be corrected via a software update or is this a hardware problem? Is it a settings issue? Do I need to send the phone back?
Any help is appreciated.
Is the question really serious?

Okay, to be honest this don't look like a software issue.
Or something that can be fixed with an update. It looks like an hardware failure.

If it were hardware failure then the screen recorder would not pick it up. not ruling hardware out completely but it is a software problem
If a clean flash using the unbrick firmware does not correct the problem definitely send it back
I factory reset it and I can't seem to find the glitch again. I video called for 20 minutes and browsed at the same time and nothing happened. I just hope nothing comes up in the future because of this.
Shouldnt, if it hasnt happened since the factory reset you should be in the clear.... software issue like I said.
Hi. So the other day out of the blue the speakers started doing what I've posted in the 2 videos attached.
It's very bizarre. At first I thought it might have been a software issue. I was running latest weekly mmx ROM at the time.
Since then I have done a clean flash of aosp ROM ricedroid. Issue is still there. So this suggests it's a hardware fault of sort.
I'm still a bit baffled with how's it come along as I've never dropped the phone nor has it ever gotten wet. Always been in a armour case from day 1. I've never messed with sound mods at all.
I did try installing viper4android after to see if it fixed it and nothing.
Anyone know what this may be? I really like the phone but I don't think it has any warranty left on it. Had it since the release of the mi 11.
Another weird thing is if I reboot the phone sometimes that solves it and speakers work fine. Then issue starts again at some point. Also if I open recents or start closing apps it then sorts itself out. Very weird. Anyway I hope someone on the forum can guide me to try and sort this or even find out what it is.
Thanks

Hello,
I have the same problem with Xiaomi Mi 11, I have installed Stable ROM with clean install.
On the other hand, I have changed the upper and lower speaker, the charging flex and the LCD and also the charging plate, which is where the lower speaker is mounted, the problem persists.
Has anyone been able to fix this error somehow?
