If it's with specific one ROM, then try Wiping (everything) & try again OR flash another ROM ............
If problem remains, open you handset carefully & check the cables down to Motherboard 2 wide black strips (coming from LCD) (check if properly attached) -------- which I hope might not be the problem
Best of luck

If not attached properly, open it & do press that cable a little hard so it get into slot. If problem persist, contact some expert, as I think u can't detach the cable yourself from LCD (you might ruin your Digitizer OR LCD itself)
PS: Don't open your handset if you don't have guide in your hands.......

You say it will only *turn* on... does it STAY on if you snap it back?

for me it doesn't stay on. the screen freezes.

its fully functional when keyboard is open. on portrait mode when keyboard is closed nothing works. i tried wiping and all that. so i guess ill try to open it. i figured its a hardware problem. its just strange because it happened all of a sudden. its not like it dropped or anything.

[Q] Soft key lights stay on permanently

Hello there, first post on here.
Anyone have/had a similar problem to this? The three soft key lights on my Optimus 4X now stay illuminated permanently. Even when the phone is switched off, they remain lit. I went so far as to completely drain the battery (or so I thought) so that there was insufficient power to turn the device on but the lights are still on. Does anyone know of any fix for this? Obviously, having these lights on all the time drains my battery quicker. I've tried the options in settings to switch it off and nothing works. I can only assume that this is a hardware fault.
Any thoughts?

Maybe its some kind of short circuit...
You didn't do nothing like messing with firmware (flashing or rooting), or any crazy app?
It was always like that?

Nope, I wouldn't even know how. I've done a factory reset so it appears it is a short circuit. You think this can be fixed? I'm thinking I have an expensive phone on my hands that I can't use now.

Could these be related?

Unlikely. The other thread is a well known problem with the phone, whereas this thread is the only time I have ever heard of the lights staying on all the time.

Is it? I couldn't find a forum thread about this specifically so I thought only a few had this strange problem.
But you're right that this probably is a different problem than what I'm experiencing.

Weird lockscreen issue

I've had my Xperia SP for more than a month and I've had any problems with it up until yesterday(December 31st). I was coming home from the gym and I turned on my phone and notice something weird on the lockscreen - see attacthed image.
I have no idea where that came from or whats causing it. I tried rebooting my phone and disabling/re-enable the lock screen, but it still won't go away. Has anyone had an issue like this before? It's really weird.
Thanks

Ah! Thanks for the help. I never had this happen before so I was very clueless about it.

touch problems, starts zooming instead of scrolling

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.

Dude have you seen the latest leak of Sirius in XB? Maybe what the sony rep is saying a fix will come is that they will port the glove mode to the z1

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.

I totally agree, Sony dropped the failbomb on this. I just hope my method solves the problem for other people too.

i am also experiencing this problem, just after upgrading to 4.3.
on 4.2 it never happened to me.

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.
BTW @eclyptos did you got your phone back?

Screen/GPU problem on my Rog 3 - Need advice

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.
