[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierfranc:
Initially all phones got the problem then with patch many had the fix, others didn't, so Sony should release a new patch to make all the phone usable, because now all works about great but the touch many times goes somewhere you didn't press, I don't know if it's only my device problem but since they at least one time the issue so it's not just a case. I think it's because of not calibrated sensitivity. I could show you a vid while I try to write and the touch jumps to positions I never touched. It happened also writing this message

Probably I should try to reset the phone but sincerely I have a lot of app data and files and without root I would lose apps

For me the 265 update fixes the issue.

Will this help you?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierfranc:
I did the software repair with Xperia software and it improved situation but still there is the problem for which during some app running it is not precise, I really have to press 4-5 times before to get a button working, also in PUGB the game, if I press settings, start or other buttons I have to do it 5 times at least to work. I have noticed that the touch "flies" on screen, like you don't press in one point but you swipe on the screen so I have to repeat several times to succeed. Also on keyboard (Google keyboard actually) I press a letter and it goes to the nearby.

I really don't know if I have to go with OnePlus 6 and sell this. Also this doesn't support 4K 60 FPS, 240-480 FPS slow mo which is supported by other phone. The rest is amazing, size too because I don't like this intercoms trend.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidletterboyz:
I have H8296 HK set Rev 2. Initially it had touch insensitivity issue but it's fixed by the .265 firmware update. However, I noticed that update created a new issue to the touchscreen. Typing has since become very inaccurate and I have to rely on auto-correct all the time. I have yet to receive the August patch (update on HK is slow).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomo100brt:
With 51.1.A.4.265 firmware update my sensitivity issue got wors. Now after 51.1.A.11.26 firmware update yesterday no issues yet.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
Maybe they fixed them now.

While writing this text, everything is fine now, after installing this update.

This was a 3 part update.

I think they updated the vendor partition with newer drivers.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nasko_spasko:
In my case it wasn't really a sensitivity issue. The sensitivity was OK. Just the action_move threshold was way too high. That's what defines the touch event as either single touch; touch 'n hold or swipe (drag). So short swipes / drags were ignored and if they were too slow, registered as a long presses. I'm glad it's fixed now.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
But at my side, it got worse in battery saver mode.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierfranc:
Yes, we are talking about the same thing, but I am on Compact. Hoping to see it fixed on my XZ2 Compact.

Have you guys any overheating issue especially during changing? I literally have to leave my phone on the table because it's too hot, also playing PUGB very hot. What about you?

They should resolve this problem so I can avoid to NB sell it and take a Galaxy S9. Let's see.

And any new functionalities?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidletterboyz:
Yes this is what I meant by sensitivity issue. i.e. not sensitive to hold and drag.

That issue was fixed by .265 but I noticed my typing accuracy suffered terribly. How about yours?

You're not supposed to use the phone when it's charging.

However, I have warm/mild hot temperature when playing PUBG mobile (maxed out settings).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
Samsung flagships are the worst ones I've ever tried from the SW point of view.. and battery life.. and heating..good luck!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nasko_spasko:
I dont usually play while charging. The pm chip has to deal with about 15w of power and if I play a game i can fry my hands with the sweat alone. I don't experience any temperature anomalies whatsoever. But the chassis of the xz2 is a bit bulkier. Dunno if it matters.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
My Samsung S2 was great...after installing CyanogenMod on it.:silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierfranc:
Why for SW? What did you find wrong? And however we are talking about new generation ...I don't think S9 could fry my hands like XZ2 Compact...but I am about to sell it, the BV only thing is that I have to find Snapdragon 845 version of S9 because Exynos this year is garbage for performance and battery. Also no root for XZ2 while for Samsung things go ahead.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:
Why talk about the s9 here ? The s9 have no things what the xz2 have and exactly we dont have root yet due there is no DRM FIX/TWRP Recovery !!!

Performance and battery are great on the xz2 :cool:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierfranc:
I just became angry because touch doesn't work properly on my Xz2 Compact, there is also overheating issue during internet browser and charging, random crash for applications, weird colours opening camera with some apps. I already did sowtware repair.

So I was thinking to sell this and take S9 but there is who says isn't convenient.

However yes, performance and battery are the things for with I can't say nothing bad.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomo100brt:
Looks like faulty unit. Take it to service.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
You should give the rev 1 unit to your trader or Sony and get a review 2 or higher unit.

And root / magisk / twrp / custom ROMs will come after Sony releasing the next bootloader patch.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierfranc:
Thanks a lot, I like the device and I want try to keep it and not sell it, I will send it soon for repair. But the jack missing is such a garbage stuff... headphones with an adapter are not comfortable and many times you buy one (mine from Amazon) doesn't feet perfectly with your headphone jack so you have to manipulate it until it works.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
I bought the original Sony Adapter for 20€

I can hear music and charge my phone with 0.5A the same time.

It is stable and fit good.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierfranc:
Yes but you have to spend that money and also it's not comfortable to change it for charge or use it directly. But at least it didn't get notch.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] piotrtekien:
I found the problem in my Xperia XZ2. Magnify on triple tap was turned on in settings which resulted a delay in every tap action. Turning it off solved my delay issue! Let me know if this works for you :D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
Where is this setting?

BTW

A full wipe made my touch become better on .163.

Maybe it got deactivated. :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] alaintroll:
Hi there! My S8+ has a little gap in its right bottom side of the screen. I use a cover all the time so i did not realize when it started to appear. I drop this phone once without cover and i did not check if it was there when it appeared. It does not get hot, nor charging or in use, so it is not a battery issue (i hope), besides, it gives a very decent screen time. I was wondering if it could have caused to loose it´s IP protection grade? Here are some pics https://photos.app.goo.gl/rGchPKuLf6EJhT5L2[/url]

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandgoose:
moms zenfone 5 lte decided to brick itself during an update, it will just stay on the asus logo loading forever.

I tried re-flashing the boot and reovery images worked but didn't do anything towards fixing the boot process.

it will still boot into fastboot flash mode and sd card recovery modes.

attempting todo anything in sd recovery mode spits out multiple errors about not being able to mount the /cache partition (wiping cache, flashing from external card etc)

can't really do much in fastboot mode because the device is not "unlocked" (need to boot OS enable usb debugging and pair with the PC to do anything for "security" hate whoever came up with that)

seems unlocking the bootloader for TWRP and wipe/format the cache via comamnds are not options because of above?

found an unbrick thread but says it dosn't work un zenfone 5 LTE

been trying a few hours kind of stuck and looking for solutions.

any suggestions please ?

Thanks

ps:sorry meant to post this thread in the help section
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandgoose:
seems it may be fixable using asus flash tool and flashing a raw image but I am unable to find a raw image for the A500KL model
[Xperia Z General] homo XDAus:
Don't ask why I stayed so long on 4.2.2, did PhD and the phone was running nicely and hat no time to update, root again etc. pp. Now that the PhD is finished I wonder if it is worth at all to invest the time to update to higher version. It looks like 5.0 was the last update supported by sony. I don't have a custom ROM, just rooted original Sony firmware with flashtool.

In general I don't see a personal benefit to buy a new phone. Keeping the Z and updating to the best Version or custom ROM running smoothly on the old hardware and which can be rooted is my choice.

Which version and ROM do you suggest?

Thank you for your time and advise
[Xperia Z General] Zerikwan:
It depends on what you need.

If all you need is a durable battery, then better stay on 4.2.2, but you know...as time goes by, most application will stop their support for jellybean.

If you want more performance, then 5.1.1 is the choice, but not battery friendly. STAMINA mode is present to help saves some battery.

For the best updated OS version, go for LineageOS 14.1. It's based on nougat 7.1.2.
[Xperia Z General] homo XDAus:
Many thanks, as far as I remember I can do a image with CWM of current system and can give LineageOS a try! I saw now that some modern apps need at least jellybean 4.4 to be installable. Battery shouldn't be a problem, I rather want the camera to work nicely also under a customROM, actually I think the original Sony camera app is quite good and this one I would loose. All other Sony apps I never noticed really. For all the other possible customROM I don't really have the time to study them, camera would be most important. I guess recovering most of the apps from jellybean 4.2.2 to Lineage via Titanium Backup will work so I can check this fast?

Thanks in advance!

[Xperia Z General] homo XDAus:
Hmm, I installed lineage 14.1 zip via ROM Manager and it was succesful, but then I also wanted to add directly after this the optional lineage root. The phone was already rooted and unlocked and when pressing the option, the screen went immediatley black. When pressing power button the lamp is short igniting green/red and screen stays black. Installed the newest flashtool and flashtool drivers, but when trying to root or flash the xperia z again via flashtool, it always says in the flashtool log, the driver is too old under Win 7 and Win 10 on 2 PCs. I installed pc companion and additionallly the flashtool drivers.

Do I have to install distinct versions of flashtool and drivers? Flashtool is version 0.9.24...?

I could manage to get it in boot loop now, showing sony logo. But with same flashtool it's not possible to flash ftf in flash or fast boot mode, because it is constantly rebooting. What to do now?

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/kernel-ub-t3198491

this does not work

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/disaster-recovery-getting-z1-zu-z-zl-to-t2229250

Still would like to install lineage.zip again. But how do I get the device booting normally and is the rom manager stil alive? If not I can also flash directly via flashtool a .ftf?
[Xperia Z General] homo XDAus:
Nevermind, I could repair it, now on 5.1.1 stock.
[Xperia Z General] homo XDAus:
as someone asked per pm:

I'm also not sure what changed it. I went then to very old flashtool version on my old notebook, probably over 5 years old when I flashed my xperia neo smartphone. With this it worked. Flashtool version is one point. My bootloader was unlocked. The flashing of lineage 7.1.1 also worked, I then made the error to root also via Lineage package directly after flashing the rom, then I was in Boot loop. It's best to start flashing, let flashtool compile the zip, this takes some minutes, progress shown in flashtool, and then you connect via usb smartphone, especially when in boot loop. But start with different flash tool version and post your error messages in the thread i posted. I stil have the old xda tabs in my browser history that helped me to install ics on neo and lollipop on xperia z (and it is really fast again after complete reinstall) no need for new phone :)

an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)

have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc

BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.

and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.

could you please help?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonedriller:
PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS

it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader

MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working

use power + Volume up to enter the black menu

use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm

connect the phone to your PC

flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)

to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices

if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work

step 1 - reflash the boot img

step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock

message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock

OEM

step 3- press power until it turns off

it should now complete the start up (boot)

if not working this method let me now

you can still flash the full factory firmware

using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdacktheresianum:
dearphonedriller,

thank you so much for your speedy help.

followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.

however:

phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.

would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!
