Yesterday when i take my milestone out of my pocket I noticed that the Settings touch button(second from left) wasn't working, every other "bar" button was working fine, except that one. Then I noticed there's a vertical line, that goes from the Setting button to the top of the phone that doesn't work. It simply stopped working... Some1 Help me pliz. It' s a Software or Hardware problem, and if it's a Software problem this thing will solve my problem??

same with my phone, may be digitizer was broken
Are u using a custom Rom or the Original ? My touchscreen had a similar issue, and reflashing the ROM solved it. It took 2 flashes, but the issue is gone.
Dont know if yours is the same, but if the issue still remains, atleast it can confirmed that its a hardware issue and not a software one.

I have used CM6 on my phone, but when i got this issue, i made my phone back to 2.1. The problem is still standing.
uh oh. Looks like a Hardware issue then. U still might wanna take to the store and get it verified. Is it still under warranty ? Any possibility of an exchange ?

Havent seen any such issues.. Thanks god..
it's similar to my problem, I had the back button through the top of the screen not working..
I have tried flashing, factory resets, and whatever I can do, but still no changed,, so I tried to ask the closest customer service and they said that it's the touchscreen panel must be thrown away to get the new one..
is it really true ?
please share this problem,,
thanks,,

Hi all!
I was having the same problem with the column of numbers 3, 6, 9 of dialpad. Looking for the solution in google, I have read that this problem is probably caused due to the moisture... so yesterday I turned of my milestone, removed the battery, SIM and SD cards and left it inside an enviromental chamber @ +70 celsius degress for 1 hour and guess what? Problem solved!
I hope that it works for anyone that are having the same problem!
Regards
Lucas

I have had good success with a combo of rice (inside a ziplock bag) to absorb humidity and/or a toaster over at the lowest bake setting.
Worked on MANY electronic devices over the years.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
Same problem here. I've solved it by changing the digitizer (ebay 25 euros). Works fine now but in the mean time I change for a Desire HD... good by Milestone !
If you decide to change the digitizer, be patient, fixing th Milestone is not an user friendly task But if you take your time it's ok !
ive the same problem, and i believe that's because of moisture. because every time when its raining except the problem with right side of screen im not even able to use the phone touch screen doesn't work at all and the phone just does something by itself! this issue started with small vertical bar from right side of screen and it growing everyday now im not able to use right side of screen till home button.
i want to know do i have to replace touchscreen or i can fix it with something to absorb humidity?
thanks in advance
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.

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.

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.

Sure, when mine Z1 come back or I will find something I will spread all over the xda!
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.
-Ed
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. 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?
