[Q] Touchscreen and WiFi problem - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hello everybody
I'm having some issues with my XS.
Firstly, sometimes when I type my 4 digits unlock code to unlock my screen quickly,many '*' are displayed and the backspace does not work. I have to press the switch off button twice so as to be able to enter my code properly.
Secondly, many times my XS seems to be in ghost mode,that is, even if I do not touch the screen, the phone seems to be receiving input command and hence,many apps are opened.
Thirdly, after I have remove my phone from my pocket, the phone has gone on emergency and many characters are present on the screen even if I have locked my screen.
Fourthly, my WiFi turns off by itself even if my browsers are open. Many times my phone constantly shows that the WiFi is being switched off and hence cannot be turned on. I must restart my phone to have my WiFi working back again.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thank you.
My Xperia runs Android 4.0.4 and I dont think that it has been rooted.

Hi
Such strange behaviour could be due to 3rd party apps or software glitch
I would suggest that you reinstall the phone's software using SUS.

IMPORTANT: After repairing your phone, do not install any app on it ( not even a single) but observe if your phone behaves in the same way.
If you don't wanna repair then make a check on apps such as antivirus/ task killers, try uninstalling them one by one and see if it makes any difference

[Q] Phone module off, touchscreen freezing, help!

Hy,
I have a big problem out of nowhere. The phone worked ok for more than y6 mths, while i haven't change the ROM. I found it blocked, not answering to any command, touchscreen or button. Soft reset it (red back-button) and it started but phone module was off, airplane mode on. I tried several times to switch them (phone, on, or airplane off) but unsuccessfull. Morover the touch screen is not getting any command but still the buttons work (phome, home, volume, midbutton). I hardSPL (OlixNet) and then installed a fresh rom (energy). the phone problem persists toghether with the screen problem which is appearing even immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins, varies. I also tried to disable the Sense, but same result.
ANother thing i have observed is that the battery drains very fast and the back low part of the device is getting warm after trying to use and few restarts..
I will try to give it an HTC rom to see if something's changeing.
Any of you had such issues with it? what should i do?
Thanks guys,

I could be also a cracked touchscreen in an early stage with a small crack, which happened to me.
Good luck!
Guys,
i too have the same screen problem,i tried changing various rom's still the problem persists.After new rom installation screen calibration needs to b done a number of times to finally start the mobile with home screen.
And then problem appears immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins. Touch doesn't respond correctly to my command instead it reads some other commands and finally gets stuck while other harware keeps working perfectly.
so, anybody could short out dis problem.......it seem to b a common problem to many people who keep changing there rom's frequently

Screen not registering input correctly

Android 2.2
Not rooted
On Vodafone
90% of the time the phone is OK, however occasionally (and for no obvious reason) it starts responding very randomly to user input: not registering input, activating items that have not been selected and other random activity.
I installed a basic drawing app to see exactly what the screen was up to during these episodes... I've got a Video (vimeo) online that shows that the screen input seems to be screwed but I'm not able to insert links yet coz I'm new here...
vimeo.com/21347852
The phone has been back for repair once. Factory restore carried out and nothing was identified as wrong, but the problem keeps on happening... any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks
Maybe a damged/faulty digitizer? You are stock & already did a factory reset - but no change.
Strange is, that it only occurs randomly.

[Q] Answer inconvenience phone use, No power display

Very good day
I have a query, I have a HTC Touch PRO 2 RHOD300
The phone is counting on the next problem happens when you try to turn the screen by pressing the button on top that will not start and if you take the pen side of the phone just turn on the lights in the lower keys where this call, Windows key, Back and Finish. The phone returns to regain normal when a call comes in after the returns to be shut down and locked and not back on the screen.
In other cases there is the disadvantage that remains off, open the phone to expand and to use the qwerty keyboard and this light comes on but no screen and if you call the phone number that shows no signs of life with this call More on the other side of where you are calling is heard that he was calling.
My question is whether they have a patch for the solution and if someone else had already reported this fault, this problem is being presented to several phone numbers of friends and wanted to see whether if they had a patch to fix what they could afford to apply it to the phones have this fault.
If in case anyone has a solution for this above I would appreciate very much.
Funny... I have been experiencing this same problem just recently. I have another identical phone and replace the sim card in it with the same results. It doesnt appear to happen to the phone when the sim card is not installed. I have tried hard reset, selectively installing programs, thinking it was a programing problem with one or another, but nothing I tried seems to change the problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
KC
Note that for my part I've been trying to give solution to the problem and have identified the following place your sim but the connections do not let my ISP leaves your network connection as my job to your phone so you do not use the 3G data network, thus the problem will not happen.
To me this is what happens, the phone went dead, but if you remove the stylus from the side, the lower lights are lit but not the screen, but if you make a phone call to your cell this and respond, but entering Idle this again locked again.
HTC have written to me but these have not been resolved.
I am in Guatemala and I used 2 different companies and the problem persists.
You friend in that country is, and have only confirmed this problem also began to give you on Friday May 20? because that was the time when many telephones HTC Touch Pro2 here began to have these symptoms.
Yes. Friday would be correct.
So if the issue is global, it is the end of the world of mobile
This doesn't appear to be a new problem though. If you search on "Screen of Death", it is quite common. However, I have tried several of the solutions that I have come across, with no go. It is complicated by the fact that we started experiencing the problem at the same time.

Slide to unlock not working

A couple days ago I noticed the slide to unlock function stopped working. Sometimes after a rebot it work again. Sometimes opening the gamepad the screen goes to landscape display and it can be unlocked. But today it has gone completely frozen, none of these workarounds seems to work. The phone seems fine, it turns on and off correctly, but since it is locked by default I can't do a thing. Also, I had it to request the SIM pin code at start up, but since it locked it doesn't connect to the network. The only thing that works is holding On/Off button, and selecting shut work with the gamepad.
When it does unlock it only work in landscape mode, when the screen is vertical nothing works!
In other forums this problems seems to be related to HTC phones (mine is Xperia Play, 8 months old, not rooted, v. it ends with 69 I don't know the exact number) or a low battery problem (is fully charged). My guess is that opening and closing the phone to use the gamepad might have damaged some bus cable in the screen. Does anyone ever had a problem like this and know how to fix it, if it software related?
All technology seems to be against me: Windows Phone discontinued support for 6.5 after I got one and now this with Android. iPhone seems the only thing that works "kinda" well and I've never had one

bottom buttons not working, please help

bottom buttons not working, none of the three. when i try to press back or menu, sometimes nothing happens and sometimes i press above, like menu at home page. And also when i try to keep touching them after a while the phone gets crazy, and starts to make strange things like entering some apps, switching between them, taking screen shots (normally i do not know how to do it), beeping, and going on like this without stopping. if i can press power of, it stops, otherwise it goes on himself.
i try pressing all three at same time may times, and i restart many times. Sometimes it starts normal with buttons working, usually with not-working buttons, but it gone againg Now i am trying to use without buttons, but when i start any apps, i can not back, so everytime i restart ((( offfff
My device is original , original rom without root, or something else. i just install apps from market thats all.
Before it goes crazy with non-working buttons, i just start to use a Bluetooth headset (discovery 975), after pairing with it for a time i use normal both device. and my last app which i install via google market was "GSM Signal Monitoring". Now i uninstall it, and bluetooth is off. But problem is still valid

android version 4.0.3
Htc Sense version 4.0

Have you try factory reset? Backup data 1st.
Happened to me, I got a new screen under warranty.
i did not do a factory reset yet, because backup everything and saving passwords... it is also a hard work
but at last i will do it

Same here, mine also get replaced under warranty and it is a hardware problem
i hope mine's is not a hardware problem, because i have no warranty
but for a 12 hours it works normal, i do not know what effects it but i make bluetooth on, and it seems normal now.
just strange
I had the same problem, they replaced the touch screen under warranty.
Even with an unlocked bootloader.
please please not he hardware problem i have NO WARRANTY
i had a similar problem on my first hox and it was replaced under warranty
my buttons were completely dead. yours seem to still have some life in them. try a factory reset. if that doesnt work then try holding all 3 keys at once for 3 seconds. i am told that this "resets" them
if neither of these work them i am afraid the screen is broken
Yeah it's broken.
In the HTC shop they reflashed the RUU just in case, but, it was broken.
Why do you have no warranty?
i have the same problem with the same facts

Hi friend, just know i read your invoice while i was trying to find a solution in my same problem. My device HTC One X (32Gb official rom, not rooted, android 4.2.2, Sense 5.0)
Most of my friends say that the only thing i have to do is to send it at the service as it is still on warranty. I have tried everything before, like reset, remove everything, but the problem still occurs.
Tomorrow i will try the service
Can this be due to the recent update?

Hi. I've never imagined such a thing to happen at random and I strongly believe this to be an outcome of the recent OTA update (4.4.2, S5). Everything was working fine until today evening when I picked up my phone to make a call and boom...the buttons just stopped responding. I barely stay away from my phone...and I had it functioning fine 2 minutes before they stopped responding.
What could be the cause of it? Is there anyone out here who can please...please shed some light on this. I'm not opting in to do a hard reset yet because I have this thing called 'button savior' doing the job for me but of course it ain't nothing in comparison to the stock thing. Plus, this is annoying to see your device go off on you in such random fashion. Any help will be highly appreciated...really looking forward to hearing from someone.
Best regards,

BUMP!
Is there anyone who can throw some light on this? I have been told that front panel is faulty and it'd cost me approx. 8k+ for the replacement of the entire front panel. I'd rather sell this than spend 8k on it.
Mine started doing the same thing and I also had no warranty for the device. The way I got around not being able to use the physical buttons was through an app called Button Savior. You can download it from the play store and there is a free version that functions perfectly well. If you aren't rooted then install the non-root version. This app puts touch buttons on your screen. It takes a little getting used to, but overall Button Savior was a great alternative for me.

There's no way the buttons will come to life after the reset. I tried all of that but to no use. As a last option, try to place all 3 fingers on the bottom buttons for few seconds (I've heard few cases reporting it to be the magic key but not in my case ). If still the things dont work, the only good option is to download this app called 'button savior'. This will save you from the big replacement expense (I think the front panel is close to 100$+ and about INR 8,000 here in India). As someone else also stated here, it will take you a little while to get used to it but believe me it will still be better than betting that kind of amount on a dead device. Good luck!
An alternative solution for hardware buttons problem
