This is what I'm trying to prevent.

I don't want to send the phone in for repair yet. I want to see if there is anything that can be done via software to fix it.

There is no way to determine that it is hardware related. However, the fact that the problem goes away for a bit when you lock the phone and wake it again must mean something is wrong via software. If it were hardware, it should always have this problem.

Anyway, I have experimented a bit and found that doing to the manual method works best when you create the .ini file via terminal and then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot.

After that, wait for the phone to boot and optimise applications. Obviously, don't touch the screen at all. Only when the GUI is present.

I found that this does a better job.

Give it a whirl :)

You can't fix it by software... I said it few months earlier...

You send it to Sony? And what you paid?

Somy Xperia Z1 Nut's Fw.681 deodexed

Hit Thanks if I helped you ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vaith:
I paid nothing... Replace was made by warranty.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] chunlianghere:
so wat did sony replace for your phone? was the problem gone? can u check the touch firmware inside service menu?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Josh.L.Wang:
Yeah, the problem relapsed after a week or so. Gotta do the calibration again I guess.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vaith:
Yes, problem is gone. They replaced touch and screen. Touch firmware version: d. They also replaced jack because I had problems with him and they replaced back glass.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] eclyptos:
In my case I had very huge improvement from upgrading to .136. I can say, for my was software related and it was gone, but after installing Pre.Rooted FTF which is different Base from the original it looks like sometime the touch screen skips some touch.

Then I am here to see if this work. I did and I will let you know.

[MENTION=5204328]D395267[/MENTION]

Can I ask you if this process have to be repeat? I mean it fix, calibrate the Touch permanently?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shoonari:
seems better, but after several runs in asphalt8 i got this issue back.

suppose connected to heating of device
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
You may have to repeat the process if the calibration isn't accurate. There is no permanent fix to the problem at the moment :( The number of times you have to do it is completely random however, since each boot will yield different results.

I bet that the problem lies in the kernel!

Good luck!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] eclyptos:
Then it can be managed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MohammadAG:
No offense to anyone involved, but nothing you're experiencing in this thread isn't placebo.

Calibration.ini does not trigger anything, I'm not sure where that was perceived from, if anything, the fact it's an ini file would be the first giveaway, it's barely used outside of Windows, there are no references to the file in any libs, apps, or the kernel.

The APK in the first thread is specific to a certain touchscreen panel (IT7260), it does a firmware upgrade for it, your panels are all Synaptics' Clearpad, the APK does nothing for that.

The Z1 touchscreen issue is physical, keeping the screen wiped minimises issues, if you have a scratched screen protector (or one with stuff under it), replace it, if not, try and use warranty to replace the screen.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vaith:
[MENTION=2011359]MohammadAG[/MENTION], I replaced my screen via varranty and problem is gone. This issue can't be fixed via software.

Which is exactly what I said, this thread's "fixes" do nothing on the Z1.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] guy4:
Hello. Do you think it is worth to try and Send this phone directly to Sony for screen replacement? I have this (terrible) problem and I was refused my rights for replacement. The retailer that sold me this phone faked documentation and made it look like this device has absolutely no problems. I tried contacting the agency that protects customers in this country. They did nothing and told me 'it's all good on the retailer side'. I got scammed, so to speak, by both the retailer and my own government.

So, what exactly can be done now to fix this issue? I paid close to 600 euro for this phone and its most important thing - the display - is broken. The retailer gave me the finger, the agencies gave me the finger, and what if Sony gives me the finger? They can just send me the device back and say 'no problem was found', exactly like the retailer did. I am not sure what to do. Most of all, I want to destroy this phone and never see it again, but this will set me back even further.

How exactly does one receive justice in this case?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vaith:
[MENTION=5678898]guy4[/MENTION], yes. I almost crashed my phone on the floor... Send it, you will be surprised.

I'm waving the white flag.

It has been a while since I commented here.

I must confess that I myself have lost faith in this 'fix' and as a result, I urge you to do the same.

This problem is making me very depressed, as I was so looking forward to getting a new phone since the beginning of last year.

My X10 was getting old and its usefulness was limited. Battery issues cause the phone to last only a couple minutes before dying, even if the battery shows over 80% charged.

I went from a phone that is less powerful than present-day entry-level phones to a phone that has specs that rivals my laptop, but doesn't outdo it.

If anyone finds a real solution to this problem, please make it heard, and it doesn't matter if the solution is software or hardware related.

This problem killed my enthusiasm and optimism about owning one of the most powerful Android smartphones in the world.

I hope we find an answer...

I bid you all good day.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ArmadiloDS:
Hey guys, Im feeling very stupid now...

This problem wasnt so big until I tried to remove the ASF from the screen to fix it.

I didnt know that this will void my warranty :(

But have somebody maybe tried it without the ASF? I mean to send it to Sony?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] guy4:
I can tell you from now - Sony will charge you for the repair if you send it without the ASF, as it will be a non-warranty job. They will likely charge you a significant amount of cash as well. I heard people reporting 300-400$ for the display fix.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vaith:
Taking off ASF = end of warranty. You should read all the papers in the box with SXZ1

i don't know if someone already say that but it seems that the problem is related (in my case, of course) to cold ambient or fingers temperatures.

I notice that if my hands are colder than the phone, the touchscreen give the problem.

I don't think that this is a software problem but pray for it!

It's strange. It doesn't seem a placebo effect: last fw 757 seems to fix my touch problems!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dlads:
Had this issue on previous firmwares but since the latest two i've never had the issue happen again.

I believe software could fix the issue otherwise how is my phone back to working again, but in all fairness my first phone was sent back under warranty and prior to me bricking that one i never had a problem with the screen, Sony are relatively prompt at sending back phones, got mine in 5 days.

Obviously if you live out in the sticks it'll take a while longer, but this is definitely fixable under warranty.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] guybrush2099:
I still have no problems

I can write very fast without errors and I can use tests and black boards without any touch fails

If you've got an idea (and this sounds dangerously close to an idea) then give it a quick try. Just about every carrier's GPRS Settings can be found in the forums.

After you've tried it, report success or failure fo the idea. Don't forget to explain exactlwhat you tried as others might have a good alternative for you to try if initial attempts fall short of expectations.

So I rooted with safe root, all went well.

Can I use goo manager or rom manager to flash CWM? Or do I need to Odin a recovery? Also, am I able to flash AOSP roms if um on the 4.3 firmware?

You should be able to.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BluBBa:
Hey guys,

so I've been eyeballing with the Z ultra since last year september or something. It was around the time my Note 2 broke and I needed a new phone.

However a few months after it was released the price was just too high (~600€) for me to afford - . So I went with the Nexus5 which was released for only 350 Euros and I really needed a phone back then. Now the ZU is half the price (300€). Interesting price development which really implies that this phone realls isnt for everyone.

so I was wondering if anyone could tell me something about daily usage of the phone - mostly in terms of Size. When sitting somewhere, standing and stuff, I dont care about the size but when moving around I'm afraid it would get impractical.

Does it fit in your trouser-poket at all?

Or you guys mostly put it in the pocket of the Jacket?

Do you always have to wear a small bag to go out with the phone?

How do you carry it when its hot? (Maybe someone who bought it in a hot place since it was released in the fall)

On the other hand, there is the Note 3, which is currently available for 360€ (weekend offer, normally 450€). So I'm really strugglin with the choice of which device to get. If the ZU size is really dealable i'd definitely prefer it over the N3. I would really appreciate it if you could share your experience.

(I know there have been rumors, whether there's gonna be a Z2 Ultra or not but looking at the price (which would be like 700 on release) I don't think I that the new Z2U would matter to me until 2015.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
So many posts like yours. Please search? But anyway, here's my answer. Yes it is still worth to buy. The development curve has been reaching plateau for a while so it will still be fast for 1-2years to the future. As for carrying i just bring it into my chest pocket and no damn given..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Phone is definitely big but easily pocketable in all but the slimmest of pants. Personally i sold mine partly because of the size. After three months of ownership i just wanted something much smaller to move around with.

But to answer ur question it is still one of the most powerful out there. Even the z2ultra i suspect will be a minor spec bump over the original much like the z2 is over the z1. I say go for it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BluBBa:
I'm sorry, I wasnt sure what to search for, so I went for the keyword "pocket" and only found about how much people had no trouble having it in their pocket.

However I would rather like to know about what kind of pockets you use. Does it always have to be the Jacket? What about when wearing shorts?

How about the situation when you're in the office and wanna go get some coffee and dont need your jacket or bag?

Thanks for the answer.

Thank you for your answer.

So you're saying it fits but it makes you feel uncomfortable when moving around with it in your (trouser)pocket?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shook187:
Just to put it plain and simple if you want to buy the Z Ultra because of how comfortable it fits in your pocket then I suggest you move on.

Its like saying you wanna buy a Ferrari but but are afraid that it might be too fast.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
depends...

I live in a tropical island where the only two types of weather we get is hot and scorching. As such clothing is light the majority if the time. as such the only real option is a pants pocket which fits comfortably but you still know its there with every step. Honestly its not as bad as I may be making it sound but its really up to personal preference. If possible find someone you know who has one and see how it feels to you.

Personally after owning many phones of varying sizes I've found that my preference is an smaller phone (my Lumia 820 is the perfect size) and now I have a larger tablet for media consumption and general use. Usage scenario preferences vary from person to person. The only real way to know what is best for you is to try them all. Its a bit of a hassle and maybe a little expensive but its the foolproof way.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sanvara:
After using the Z ultra for a couple weeks it doesn't really seem big anymore. I could even go a little bigger.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
Had it since December, and much the same- I could stand going up to 6.5" or even a 7" screen as a phablet.

Only thing I might ever switch to is those Asus Padfones (Or Phonepads? Can't remember which one is which). Those ones that let you stick their phone into a tablet. Sounds nice and the best of both worlds, but the only one that's come up into the US is a 7" one, which just isn't worth the effort (Plus, I don't know if they work with custom firmware, so...).

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
The ZU is still very relevant. It has the S800, 2GB RAM a 1080p display and other high-end specifications. It seems like the mobile world has plateaued lately, and there are really no "must have" features coming up, as far as I'm concerned. The Snapdragon 801 and 805 are the new SoCs, but they are only marginally better than the 800, so there's really no reason to upgrade. QHD screens? Sure, if you want to get poor battery life. The pixels are rising, but the battery capacity is not.

Upcoming devices:

- Galaxy S5: 2014 ugliest phone (IMO) and it looks like Samsung is checking how many stupid people are out there.

- The New HTC One (M8): Not officially announced yet, but we've pretty much seen the whole thing already, including in a 14 minute German video review yesterday. Nothing special.

Xperia Z2: Looks really nice, but not worth it if you're currently owning an S800 device.

Xperia Z2 Ultra(?): Will probably be announced this summer like last year. Will probably run the 801, 3GB RAM and an updated design. Most people, including me, will probably want it, but it's not worth it. It's like when I had the Galaxy Note and the Note 2 arrived. It wasn't worth the upgrade.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KeikiNYC011:
The XZU C6833 is one of my favorite phablet phones on 2013 and 2014.

Still worth the purchase. Plus im having fun with it when I see a tiny iphone. Haha I'd like to tease my girlfriend but she does used my device more now than her iphone. The text and viewing content has been excellent
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wingswrath:
The phone is indeed pocket-able even in the tightest of pants if your a guy, most female pants have much shallower pockets and thus my sister isnt able to fit my phone into her pockets.

The thing is that although it fits sitting becomes cumbersome as the pants constrict the phone and pushes it towards your leg so i often have it out when i know im going to sit for long periods of time. Also it is a pain when you have to take it out of your pockets under your jacket.

In insanely hot climates, like 35 degrees C the phone is also uncomfortable...especially if you sweat.

In comparison to the n3, i would say that the ZU has a nicer build, and also a larger screen. LCD is an added bonus if you prefer it over amoled. Plus its also water resistant which makes it useful when rainy/when bathing. Also, the lack of touch-wiz is also a bonus

But the n3 has (in my opinion) a more optimized OS for a larger screen such as multiwindow (yes i realize sony has tiny apps but its just not the same), better speakers, and a better camera. Plus a smaller amoled screen.

If the waterproof-ness and larger screen appeal more to you i would suggest the ZU, otherwise i myself would've chosen the note 3 as amoled is my preferred screen tech. Hope this helps...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] djyoshii:
Have had the phone for a few months, and pretty much doubt I'll go with anything with a smaller screen in the future. If the ZU2 ends up being only a minor upgrade as I and some others are expecting, I'll probably wait for the ZU3...saves me shelling out $$$ everyone 6-12 months :)

Not the perfect phone, but the only one out with most of what I was after in a handset.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Its summer all year round in my country and the phone is anytime cooler than the weather lol.

I carry the phone in my sling bag so I go for the biggest screen that's available for me.

Performance and spec for the ZU will last another 2 years before it becomes obselete so definitely worth getting for the price now. I remembered getting the ZU on day one and it costs about USD 900.

Some other upcoming models in the 5.5 -7 inch region you can consider might be

Oppo Find 7 (5.5 inch 2k display, Snapdragon 801, 3GB, 32GB )

Huawei MediaPad X1 LTE (7inch 1,920 x 1,200 LTPS, Arms Cortex A9 Soc, 2GB, 16GB)

Vivo Xplay 3S (6 inch 2k display, Snapdragon 800, 3GB, 32GB)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stopa10:
I think that it is safe to say that the Z Ultra is by far the best product in the 6" screen-size range (let's face it, the alternatives are not even close in terms of quality...). So, if screen size is a factor for you as it is for many of us, go for it, you will not regret this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
****, I just across an announcement on ZTE Nubia X6 just now. The spec is amazing

6.4inch FHD

Snapdragon 801

3gb ram

128gb internal

Dual sim support 3g and LTE

4000mh battery

13mp camera

This is truly a ZU contender.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Sure, if you believe that a Lada with 600 HP is as good as an AMG.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
I get what you mean but there's always a struggle between quality and spec. The lada will cross the finish line first that's what some people go for.

I had an Iphone and didnt like it, was too small

Had an Galaxy S2, then an S4, and now the xperia Ultra

I would never change it for another phone, its the best there is.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LxMxFxD:
Yup.

Best phone I've ever had. Before this one, my galaxy note GT-N7000 was the best phone I ever had. Now I look at that thing and laugh.

The xperia z ultra is NOT perfect though, by any means. Still, i'm extremely happy being an owner of one. So much so that I haven't even googled to see what new phones are coming out that might be better than my z ultra. I dont even care. Unless "whats next" is something truly revolutionary like flexible screen, I dont see myself upgrading for years.

Oh, and my buddy has a note 3. His phone is great too, better than any iphone of course, but so glad I opted for z ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dimex:
I switched from the Note 3. My situation's a little different since I'm in a wheelchair due to a skydiving accident. So I carry the Z Ultra in a little enclosure that hangs down from the front of my cushion and sits right behind my calves (if you can picture that).

I've been using the Z Ultra as my daily driver for 2 weeks now, coming from the Note 3. Couldn't be happier. I thought I would be bummed with the internal speaker, but flashing the sound enhancement mod to increase the volume did wonders.

I watch a lot of movies, and the screen is beautiful. I would say the first day the size is kinda strange. You won't really be typing one handed with this thing (ie: texting while driving). You shouldn't be doing that anyways. I'm used to the size now.

It's pretty crazy, but with the Note 3 I couldn't really notice web videos that were subpar quality. Now, if something is playing that isn't that high quality, it is so noticeable. I think that's a combination of bigger screen size and better display. 1080p videos look awesome.

It's a great phone and couldn't be happier with it. Previously I used an S3, Note 2, and Note 3.

specially if any new tablets like new nex 7 or 8 or 10 coming ! or basically anything new till mid summer!

i need some portable device but nothing suits me or costs so much !

TF701 and padfone seems extremely awesome , but no roms or anything!

also i get bored outside, i couldn't find fun or cool and good games!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
If the Ultra was sporting a Snapdragon 600, i'd say "meh". It's not, it has a Snapdragon 800, which is still high-end, so speed won't be an issue. The differences between the 800 and 801 are miniscule, and you would probably not even notice any difference between the two.

Other devices? HTC One M8, Galaxy S5, Xperia Z2, LG G3, iPhone 6, Xperia Z Ultra2(?) and some others i guess. Can't say that i've heard about any upcoming phablets though (that's worth looking at).
