[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i meant there lots of term in it

i know there s some units with touch problem and etc while u use them normally

but putting on special thing then touch special coordinates and another terms means all phones can get some issue when use them in a specific conditions.

and this means experimental terms and condition.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Of curse, if the touch working bad in heavy special experimental conditions we will not even noticed that but actually we are affected with the normal use as scrolling pages, unlock the phone with patterns and play games and all this stuff.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
Ok, ok, ok, now on my third Xperia Z1 looks like its everything fine, and heres why:

The other 2 phones was made here in Brazil and i had this problem, now my 3rd Xperia is made in China, the front of the phone is different, looks like its more robust and the light and proximity sensors are more visible than the Brazilian one, and at least for now im not having any issue, everything is fine, but i will test more to see what happens...

Here is common things like this, ALL the Brazilian products are terribly made, another example: My old Galaxy SII was made in Brazil and didnt came with Gorilla Glass, because they said that Brazilian version is "different". So we pay more than anyone in the world for a phone and recieve a piece of s**t.

But as i said, now with my made in China Xperia everything is fine, i hope it still fine.....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
my ****ty z1 came from Brazil and it has touch issues..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffp.:
Brazilian C6943 here. I can reproduce it like the OP, but i can't reproduce it in the phone diagnostics. I think i got it sometimes while playing. I will test a little more to make sure.

Does anyone knows why this is happening? Does a case or a screen protection affect the problem at all?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
The store told me that the made in Brazil version had a problem during the mount process. So when you are touching the back face of the phone or you left it on a flat surface the touch will fail, its a bad contact problem, when i get home i will show with photos the difference between Brazilian and China version, seems that China one is made carefully, with first class pieces, the touch is more sensitive and Brazilian one looks fragile, make a test, if you tap the back of the phone you wont hear a solid sound, it seems that the back part its empty....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffp.:
Well, i don't know if mine was fabricated in Brazil, i ordered it on internet., but i dont think it's a brazilian production issue, since there are a lot of user complaining about it and they don't have the brazilian model.

EDIT: And the only way i can reproduce it is doing exactly what the OP says. Played like 10 min of Vice City and got no problem. Can you give me another example of how it fails, besides the OP test? I mean, i will never be doing those steps in my daily use.

PS: When i leave it on the desk/sheet and test touchscreen with one hand it works flawlessly...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
Take a look on the box of you phone and see if its write made in Brazil, because they are mountig phones here and sending to the entire world, here they are making the C6943, C6903 and C6906 version.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffp.:
Can you give me an example of its malfunction? Could you play GTA? What about the test in settings?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
At least for me i could reproduce the problem in 2 ways:

- The first one is when you are playing for more than 20 minutes, the phone goes hot and then the bad contact will enter in action. Boom, good bye touch, wait untill phone gets cold and use it without problem.

- The second one: Put your phone on a surface (without any case), wait 30 sec and use it normally, after a while if you try to scroll a page for example it will fail, you will zoom in and out the screen, will select links, everything will happen except the scroll that you want. Try to use just touching the screen and test touching the aluminium part with your fingers.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Same here but actually if I touching the aluminium frame nothing change to my touch screen, it do not working well anyway.

BTW, mine is Made in China, C6903, and I have touch screen problem so where is made have nothing to do with it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MakaMika:
what does "wake app like paintsoft" means??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidrums4:
3. In Feedly, when you reach the "You're all done with this section" screen, you have to tap the screen several times to mark your articles as read (when you're supposed to tap the screen once). An again, to "check for new articles", you have to tap the screen several times, while you're supposed to tap it once.

I'm not sure about this one, 'cause I doubt if this is really about the screen thing or maybe Feedly's fault. Would be nice if anyone can confirm this.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdman4368:
I also have the same problem from time to time, especially in gaming, that's really make me mad...

I'm wondering that its a hardware problem or software problem? Because it not happens all the time, seems not like a hardware problem. Just like a firmware bug causes the touching screen failure. Hope sony can explain it and solve it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodson66:
Lucky here no issues with touch screen, tried three different ways but still it works. I have taken off the ASF has anyone tried to see if that fixes it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
Mine is from brazil and have the erratic problem! have you seen the disassembly of z1s in xperiablog? maybe our screen is not the problem but the flex and other materials attached to it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hontouni:
Reproducible on c6903 "made in china" version, have not noticed any errors playing games/scrolling/etc, only happens in this very specific scenario.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Many did and said it will not, vice-versa, the problems come after removing the ASF. So it's not the case.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffp.:
Have any of you taken it to be repaired and actually got it working? If yes, how long did it taked to repair? And who just changed the phone, does the new one works?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunlianghere:
do let us know for those have send for repair, which indeed have solved the problem?

thanks alot!!

so can conclude tat its hardware problem?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
Definitely it is a hardware problem guys..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I did and I will let you know.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I took it for repair, took 2 weeks and when I got it back it worked without the issue for about 4 days. Then the problem came back and got even worse than before. Now it's at the repairs for a second time and if the issue persists I'll ask for a replacement.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
looks like there is an upcoming fix for the issue in the next update. As confirmed by a Sony rep

here's the link. you can check it here
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks for the link. It's nice to see that they have at least acknowledged the issue somehow but I'm still a bit sceptical about them being able to fix it with a software update. It will remain to be seen if the fix actually works or if it only helps a portion of devices.

When I get my Z1 back from repair next week if the issue is still there, I'll get a replacement even if a software fix is coming.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
Well maybe this is just a temporary solution of the sony rep for us not to flood the thread anymore. I doubt that the problem will be fixed
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevbodian:
I have this problem as well. Although I didn't use same procedure.

For me, I was just reading news using Feedly. I loaded a story from Mashable and it started doing this... while scrolling up and down the page was zooming in an out and jumping around.. as if I was releasing and tapping but the whole time my finger never left the screen.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MakaMika:
Hi there

I got my Z1 two days ago,I still didnt use it intensively but i was able to get the problem.from the diagnostic app.I tried waiting for 30s and scrolled down normally.You think it will appear again?I dont have much apps in it bcz i didnt want to log in my gmail account knowing that i might return it.what to do?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Celeron787:
Hey, i had my z1 for about 3 months, I'm not really sure whether this considers as a touch screen problem.

Generally, the touch screen works perfectly fine until I attach the magnetic charging cable. When placed on a flat surface, it seems to be unable to follow my touches (cannot follow my finger when doing pattern unlock) and sometimes when typing it seems to registering touches at other areas.

Problem only occurs with magnetic charging and when on flat surface, once I lift the phone up it's fine.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Does this happen when your device has no case on it? Cause I have a case on mine and I never experienced it before. I won't bother trying to reproduce the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
i was defenetly able to reproduce it during games and in the sketch app before i've got my case, now that i have it it rarly happens...

but if i try really hard i can reproduce it even with the case. doesn't effect daily use though
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffp.:
So, does the case help? I'm thinking about getting one, but i would like to have a definitive answer before
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
If you are lucky! :D because in some cases the touch screen get worse without touching the aluminium frame so definetly if you have this issue send it back to repair or replace, don't try to find a solution, you paid for it and the phone should be issues free.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunlianghere:
FYI, there will be a fix in the next firmware update.

Diagnostics Tool in Settings

Hello guys :)

I'm able to reproduce the issue with a drawing app and even in every normal screen (at least in Chrome and in Settings) but there is an option in "About Phone" to test your phone... In german it's called Diagnose (maybe "diagnostics" in english). There is also an option to draw lines (maybe called "Touchscreen test") but i wasn't able to reproduce the issue in this context...

Does anybody know the difference between this screen and any other?

Ok, After a few more tries it also failed in this app... It's absolutely a Hardware Problem..

Best regards,

Ben-Ho
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you haven't done this yet, then do it now. Take your Z1 to where you bought it from and tell them to repair it or replace it with a new one.

I just got my Z1 back from a second round of repairs. This time they hadn't done anything else than factory reset. Since I had done that before and they did it at the first repair attempt I told the seller that I don't think it will work. He told me that at least with them Sony usually has a third time policy which means that if I bring it in a third time for the same problem, they will replace it with a new one. So he told me to take it home for a day and if I see the issue I can bring it tomorrow for a replacement.

That is exactly what I intend to do.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudy88:
did you get the replacement? Is touchscreen problem free?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
After the update to .136 the problem for many disappear.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
They were going to get me a replacement but then .136 came out while they had it so they just updated it and sent it back. For me the firmware update DIDN'T fix the problem so I took it back the next day after calling our local consumer agent for guidance on how to proceed if I want to revoke the purchase. I gave them 1 more chance to replace it and am expecting the replacement this week.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
They did the same with me. They update to some FW and they send back to me the phone. I am lucky that the Update fixed something on mine because if it will not I will be in your same position.

[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
I know my device is not ATT (since it does not have ATT logo on it), but I am unable to flash Chinese JB leaks on it. When I try to flash it using RSD, it fails at first step. I wonder why I am unable to flash JB leaks. I am on Asia Retail Stock ICS 4.0.4 now. When I bought it from my friend, it has ICS (i dont know wch one). I soft bricked it and flashed Asia retail ICS via "restore to ICS.bat" method. After that, I was eager to flash JB leaks but never succeeded.
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
Restore to ICS is for AT&T fones plzz read What FXZ u need to a flash before doing it

Get RSD and latest moto drivers first.............

It was for the AT&T 4.0.4 FXZ u have to change the FXZ to do it for ur region as altred said in his post........

Try flashing ur regions FXZ via RSD and see what happens .......

Just hope the AT&T FXZ din lock up ur fone......:(
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
I am fearing the worse

I think I tried flashing Asia retail FXZ after that and it didn't go past 7th step (something.cdt). Even JB leaks are not getting flashed is the proof tht worst has happened.

I will try again today and tell the result. I dont have any idea abt the region of my phone and what firmware it supports. Any help to identify this would be appreciated.

[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
What FXZ did u Flash BTW??? :confused: and are u softbricked or not
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
This

I don't know if I was on TNZ ROM when I bought it, my friend tried to install 4.3 Carbon ROM on my atrix 2 using bootstrap method. It got soft bricked. After few hiccups, we got it back running using "restore to ICS.bat" method using SEARET FXZ. I was relieved that this bat file saved us. But now when I try to flash anything using RSD, it just wont.

So answer to ur question is - we used SEARET (Retail Asia) FXZ. I still use this same FXZ. I thought of using other FXZs, but sbf droid website which hosts all the FXZs is down now. I wish somebody create a mirror for all the ROMS.

P.S: Please reply soon. Feels like Atrix 2 section of this forum is dead when we get late replies. :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
Ya seems lyk the SBF site is down don worry i think it's under maintenance just wait for a day...it should be up by then :p

And Carbon 4.3 clearly stated that its only for BMM not bootstrap so thats the reason u boot looped....read the thread carefully before flashing....
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
What next?

Thanks for the advice, but it was my friend who did it not me. What next now? Can I install JB leaks on my phone or not?
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
JB leaks work fine as long as ur not AT&T so ur good :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
That still did not answer my question. How should i flash jb leaks when rsd is not flashing it beyond cdt.bin?
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
I guess after using restore_to_ICS.bat file, your cdt.bin number has increased and hence, you can't use any other firmware other than ICS. BTW which region's ICS are you running now?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
If you've used the restore_to_ICS.bat with the AT&T FXZ in it then you won't be able to flash anything else but the AT&T firmware. This is because the AT&T firmware is the most locked down of them all. In other words, no jb leaks for you. :/

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
I am using SEARET ICS rite now. RSD lite fails at cdt.bin step all time. Why cannot I flash JB leaks when my device is not ATT?
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
Like I said before, your phone's cdt number has changed / increased, and hence the reason, you can't flash JB Leak which has a lower cdt number.
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
Okay. Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
If you can ADB into the phone then you can just delete the CDT partition, and then RSD lite will let you flash whatever you want.

You do this, with the following:

1) Download moto-fastboot command:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953948

2) Save the exe someplace you can remember

3) Open a command prompt and CD to where you saved the moto-fastboot file

4) run the following command(s):

moto-fastboot erase cdt *NOTE this may not work and you may need to run the next command instead
moto-fastboot erase cdt.bin

5) Try and run RSDlite again and flash something and see if it lets you get past the flashing CDT.bin step
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
Thank you Jim. Will try out and let you know.
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
adb says - waiting for device and does nothing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
It says....Failed. Restricted. :( What should I do?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Hey, what says failed restricted?

When you try to erase the CDT partition or when you try to run RSDlite after you erased the cdt partition?

I am here to help, but I need more information.

Happy new year by the way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
When I try to erase CDT partition. Tried all my might. The link you provided had 2 different fastboot files. I tried with both. No help. Is this enough for you? PFA screenshot
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Try using the fastboot command that comes with the sdk instead of the moto-fastboot one.

fastboot.exe erase cdt.bin *Note, if this does not work you can try to format it, but that might be dangerous.
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
Is it necessary to put .exe extension with fastboot command?

I tried with all the fastboot files (the one with sdk, and the ones who provided me with the link), none could do it. You mentioned above to format the partition, how can I do that? Now when it seems my cdt.bin partition is restricted, formatting will help me? how dangerous is it to format it? Will my phone stop working after formatting? I mean while flashing fxz, will the cdt.bin file never flash into phone at all?

I almost gave up the idea of jb leak on my phone. Trying to make me content with stock ICS (i like stock ics more than any other). But with that little window of hope which you have opened, I might finally flash jb leak 3 on my phone. Thanks for all the help you are providing Jim.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No I do not think you have to put the .exe extension on the command, I am a unix/linux guy, so I am very anal about the command line if you know what I mean.

So I will give you standard line we always say here. Anything you do to your phone can render it dead or useless, so yes anything you attempt can result in a brick if something goes wrong.

Now with that being said, there have only been a few people that have tried and successfully done this so that they could flash another firmware (namely people with AT&T phone who wanted something like SEARET or HK firmware).

Take a look at this and see if you understand what they are doing because it is the foundation of what we will do.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36547134&postcount=1

Complete the backup steps as noted above, you will need root and busybox installed to most likely use the dd command on the phone.

You will need BMM/CWM installed to most likely format the cid parition, otherwise I would be very cautious for someone using a command line to do it that is unfamiliar with formatting a partition that is that important.

After you have erased the CID partition and (make sure you took that backup before doing so), have the JB leak, you will use the fastboot command to flash everything EXCEPT the CDT.bin and the bootloader files.

Make sure you cd into the uncompressed directory with all the files from the JB leak in there.

You will flash all of the files like this:

fastboot flash partitionname file toflash

so something like this:

fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash lbl lbl
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
fastboot flash ebr ebr
fastboot mbr mbr
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img

I have no idea if/how this will work, since I have not tried it, and not had my A2 for almost a year now, but in theory it should work for you, if you are willing to take the risk of possibly bricking.
