[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] xdafan:
Hi, I've only had my xda (wallaby) for 2 weeks and I love it, but I think I've just bust it!

Help would be greatly appreciated.

1. I cooked a 3.71.03 version, saved as executable.

2. Verifed ActiveSync was talking to my XDA.

3. Fired up rom.exe.

4. Programme A dialog box comes up, a few questions and it starts communicating with PDA.

5. PDA screen is wiped and the Upgrading progress bar appears, it will take about 5 minutes ...

6. Then I get an error that the loader cannot communicate with USB port?

PDA screen is left with the Upgrading progress bar message. Rom.exe exited saying: your upgrade is incompatible with your PDA:

Your device: model: PW10A1, ROM 3.17

Your upgrade: PW10A1, ROM 3.16

ActiveSync can no longer communicate with PDA as the upgrade process appears to have wiped ActiveSync on the PDA out.

Tried both soft and hard resetting (many times) but nothing changes.

What next?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] xdafan:
Thanks Stefan

I had been looking at this, though I don't have an SD device so will have to find one first.

I can't figure out where to get a ROM Image from though, i.e. whatever the file is that I have to put on the Sd card?

So I was looking though my gallery and found a screen shot from a few months ago of the 'easter egg' you get when you click android version an bunch of times..

Hoping someone recognizes what rom it's from.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d2616ae26016:
Hi. Some info about my Nexus 5:

ROM: stock

Kernel: stock

Bootloader: unlocked

Since when I have updated to 4.2.2 (flashing the update using CWM) my Nexus 5 overwrites any custom recovery with the stock one and it unroots during boot. This is very strange: it never happened before. CyanogenMod talks about this:

So what?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Flash CWM again and before you reboot it'll ask if you want to disable the stock recovery flash so you just say yes
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d2616ae26016:
Well I have flashed it many times but it never asked me that...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
After the OTA it will as the OTA adds a file to replace a custom recovery with stock. I just said 'yes' to remove this feature and it kept CWM from then on
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d2616ae26016:
So shall I flash the 4.2.2 OTA again? Or is it just too later?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Flash CWM again and when you reboot it should ask if you want to disable the stock recovery flash
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d2616ae26016:
It didn't ask me. However I followed this guide to do that manually and it worked. Thank you for your help.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] router0520:
1.Turn on your display and wake app like the paintsoft.

2.Put your Z1 onto a insulated one, like rubber sheet and your Z1 has to be naked.(without any cases)

3.Wait 30sec or more.

4.Draw a line, and during drawing, touch the side panel. Left side and right side should be touched by two fingers. and cover of microUSB port and sim port should not be touched.

5.About 70-80%, You can reproduce the problem.

The movie is here

http://youtu.be/CeAw17LrdKE

This problem may be caused by bad insulating.

But I don't know this problem is occurred in all Z1s.

This problem of touch panel can be occurred variable timings.

People who playing games or using pattern lock will recognize this problem easily. but difficult for who Not playing games or Not using pattern lock.

This method can detect the potential error of your Z1 it looks no problem.

Please test your Z1. and if the problem is reproduced, you should go to store and make a claim!

and replaced one if you get, please re-test and report here.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
confirmed in my case.. really bad...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orzech.miron:
My Z1 also have this problem. After 40seconds i even didn't have to touch this two sides of phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
For few weeks I never saw that problem on mine so I was not worry about it but today I tested few nice games and I realized that after a minute playing the game (Minimotor or HAWX) the virtual joystick stopping working. I have to retouch the joystick with my hand or take off my hand from the phone. All the time.

My question: this is a Hardware problem?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] router0520:
This ploblem can solve by updating the driver software. like Xperia tabletZ.

Hang in there!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemeziz 56th:
In the next week i will buy this phone when i have enough money.

How often come the problem?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] router0520:
I think hardware. but can be solved by software.

The touch panel is too sensitive?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] router0520:
Yes. Sometime it is occurred without touching side panel.

Already reported a lot in japan.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
This is bad, so the Flagship Device is comming to be a Crap Device.

How it's possible the problem of the touch screen is because is too sensitive? I hope there is a solution via software but for there is some lack of insulated between the touch screen and the rest of the phone. That why when you touch the frame the touch respond very badly.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] router0520:
I think the screen react to very few electrostatic.like touching side panel.

so to make less sharp ,It will be ok. perhaps.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
Confirm the problem in my device, hopefully a fix can be found, mine ain't so bad I guess cos it happens only when I press the sides
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veghov:

Actually, It is reported that replaced one has this issue too in Japan.

Sony don't recognize this issue yet!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I did a video by myself and I don't get it! Where is the problem? I mean where is the problem causing the touch screen failing to work. The only 1 thing what I am sure is if I leave the phone for 20, 30 seconds the issue show up with my touch screen with or without touch the aluminum frame.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nizarnoor:
Yes I would like to confirm this as well. I didn't even have to touch the side panel.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
I can attest to this one as well. Issue occurs especially when gaming and prolonged touch on the screen and without even touch the side panel.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Exactly, I think we are close. The problem appear after long or prolonged use with the touch screen.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
No issues here, i tested for like 20 minutes and its perfect here

No issues with games, paint or the service test

So maybe the C6906 doesn't have it?

MYTHBUSTED:

Touching alu frame makes the screen work- not true even touching it screen goes nuts

My Assumption:

After a certain period of time when the finger is placed prolonged on the touch screen, it goes nuts. Somewhat it overloads or something goes haywire.. There might be a chance that a software update can fix this. since we have tested also the different parts of the screen and found no dead spots.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Whatever, we are close anyway.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] router0520:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks for posting this method. I am also having it but I'm not going to settle waiting for a possible software fix (which might not even be possible). Taking this Z1 to be replaced or fixed first thing on Monday as I'm not home until weekend.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
not sure if you refered to my posting but i ment touching the alu frame makes it stop working.

i do think it has something to do with electrostatic charge, since the problem happens more often when the phone is on non conducting surface, I.E. not in a human hand.

if i put it on a table or the bed i can easely reproduce it, but when held in hand it's harder, our body discharge the phone.

hopefully it's something that can be changed by software if sony we undervoltage the touch screen or something...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
I saw your post, what I mean by this one is the that I saw in sony forums that they say when touching the alu frame makes the device work..

Is it possible that we place something in the phone to improve the conduction?

Can you take us updated about this, I mean I will like to know what they will tell to you when you go for the replacement for this problem. Thanx.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Sure I'll post what happens to this thread. I guess first they will take it for repair and if it comes back with no fixes I will demand a replacement. If they won't do that I'll go for the consumer laws and demand a full refund. But I'll let you guys know how it goes.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
It really is good in other countries. Here they even charge for repairs and steal your parts after that phone is ruined and no replacement.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rambo420:
It happens for me every time after I leave the screen on for 20 sec, without touching the frame...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:

But this problem is occurred in other androids too.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I managed to find some time today at lunch and took my Z1 to the shop I got it from. As I assumed, they took it for repair after I explained the problem. I did give very comprehensive information about the issue and how to reproduce it and also told them that there are several videos on the internet but I'm not sure how much did they write on the form that they will send to Sony together with my phone. Now it will take 1 - 2 weeks to get it back and I'll update you guys how it goes once the phone comes back.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @ARC-S@:
It's true that the touchscreen is affected by the Aluminum frame, just tested and I'm extremely disappointed :(

It was my dream to get a high-end Sony Xperia device after years of buying mid-end Xperias... But then, after saving all my money, not eating enough lunch for a year cuz I save all meh money, I get a high-end WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS... Please Sony, have mercy on us customers... Please fix the hardware issue... Just please... Anyway, Anyhow...

So... My dear XDA friends, which phone should I get next? I might sell the device(I'll miss the camera).... I'm not sure what to get? Maybe a Nexus 5 or....

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

I think temperature has something to do with that since it's easier to reproduce it when you play games and phone gets hot.

It's only an assumption but happens also when not hot. We need to bust the root cause of this problem

OMG, if you cover this and do that and wait 30 seconds all whilst standing on one foot, rubbing your stomach and scratching your head at the same time the screen glitches........ GET A LIFE!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vippo321:
hmmm

For me it is reproducable only if I wait till the screen adjustment goes dimm and after that I start swiping. It seems like a software bug.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
There's no need to be a smartass. The problem occurs in several situations such as scrolling in apps or using the web browser. It also makes any sliding keyboards almost impossible to use.

This is just a method to reproduce the issue so that the people who have the problem can show their retailers/Sony/repair place what the problem is. If you don't have it, be happy and move on to another thread please.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTCC:

It is about 5% this method can reproduce after update.

4.3 did not solve this problem for me..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Right, I finally got my Z1 back from repair a few hours ago and I promised you guys I'd let you know what happens. So first things first, they DID fix something - more specifically they replaced the brackets/fasteners (or whatever you call them) that attach the screen to the device. I've been fiddling around with the Z1 for just a few hours now and *fingers crossed* haven't seen the issue yet. I also re-tried the test to reproduce the problem and I couldn't make it appear again. However I wasn't able to consistently 100% reproduce the issue earlier either so it might mean nothing. But so far it's looking good and I'm happy they did more than just a software update and factory reset. I'll keep testing and using it as normal and I'll post more results here after a few days and the first week.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
Im not having this problem, the problem for me is when the phone is hot (after playing some heavy games) i just cant scroll my finger, the touch act like im touching the screen and not passing by. This is happening always when i play Dead Trigger 2 im walking and shooting but suddenly the touch stops and i cant use it, im using android 4.3 now and i dont know if i was having this issue with 4.2, i tried to reset the phone but still on 4.3, how can i roll back to 4.2 to see if this problem persist?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You don't have to roll back. I can confirm this, still also on 4.2 because I got the same issues as you when I was on 4.2 and now on 4.3. Sorry to say but you have problem with the touchscreen like all of us. Mine stop all the time when I play a game, I have to take off my hand for 2 sec and touch the screen again. Same symptoms. Welcome aboard.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This is the same problem mate. It just occurs in different situations depending on the usage. I don't really play games so I don't see it the same way as you do but when your touch stops while playing it's the same problem. Some people have the issue and are unable to reproduce the problem in this method and some people can reproduce it almost always - but it's the same problem. It is a physical (hardware) issue and software won't fix it. My best advice for you right now would be to take your Z1 to the seller or Sony repair to be fixed. Mine seems better after it got fixed but I'll keep testing before I can say for sure.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidrums4:
I had no problems yet with my phone, but I just made the test and mine is affected too in the very-bad way, but most of the part because I put a thick plastic cover. However, I'm with .290 JB 4.3, unrooted, bootloader locked and such. Tomorrow I will change that plastic cover and see what happens.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richardchiu:
Also encountering this touchscreen issue on my C6906. This is actually my second 6906, exchanged the first one because of the erratic touchscreen. Now having the same problem with current device. I can't reproduce using the steps in the original post. In fact, the only way I notice the issue is when I'm using the phone for extended periods of time (browsing, playing games). The touchscreen becomes erratic and the phone feels warm. If I let the phone cool down, or I grip the phone in my other hand, the issue disappears. Sometimes not entirely, but far better than if I were not holding the phone.

Other users are experiencing same issues on Sony Mobile forums. No response from Sony yet regarding this issue.
