Display issue - would you swap it?

Hello guys,
I got my new HOX yesterday, an HT23 model. So far this is the only issue I've found:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnBY-rvhbts
it's quite annoying, but I'd never push it like that tough. I bought it online, so I should just send it back and wait for a replacement. Would you guys do that? Or is that a "normal" behavior??
Thx in advance.

If its really annoying, you should swap it, but if everything is functioning good and it doesnt bother you, you should keep it

Most HOX will do that so save yourself hassle and don't swap Iv had 3 and they all done it current one not as bad as first but its not noticeable or replicable if just using handset like a normal person

I've also noticed a very very small gap on top of the screen, which is not present in all other sides of it. Would it be a problem in the long run??

Hi, Mine has that gap too... Not a problem for me though, I just ignore it
The problem with the screen is completely normal, it is an LCD, so it should be like that (Liquid Crystal Display, when you push your finger on liquid it'll compress and change form, thus changing color) you can test this on your computer or television and same thing will happen there more or less.

Touch too sensitive! issue?

I've tried to change the touch feedback setting to long/medium/short but nothing changed.
I attach a video that show what is the problem with the screen/digitizer - when tapping and keep touching (holding) the screen look at the X axis - its not constant as it should be.
The finger hold stable and not moving, but at the screen the dot moving.
I've checked 3 other G4 devices, all of them don't have this issue.
There is no screen protector (neither the one that comes with the device)
Most of the problem is at the top left of the screen, the bottom right is pretty stable.
Its very annoying while use brush/paint, zoom pictures, playing horizontal mode the left side (top of the screen) dosn't work because of this on some games.
Anyone else had this issue?
What is that problem and how do I fix it?

Is it a software / hardware problem?
There is something to make it better? anyone notice this issue?

My g3 was real bad like this it was software changed from kernal to kernal. not really rom to rom. And g4 is horribly over sensative

I have the same problem, for me it's probably hardware and software, because it was better before V20D, but I still had the problem, now it's worst. LG tried to hide this ****ty screen with software. But I repeat it's first an hardware problem... All my left screen is bad and not stable, more than yours.
Try the app "Ghost Touch Tester" and in developer mode activate "Show Touches"

This is very disappointing, reminds me the first android devices at 2010 with the bad touch screen.
Its not that worst, but you expect a smoother and better quality for device on this level.
I guess its a hardware issue, 2 other devices that I've checked dosn't have this issue (of too sensitive touch) even with tempered glass screen protectors.
The left and the top sides are most sensitive then right buttom.
Maybe kernel would fix it, anyway same story with ver. 5 and with the new 6.
Any ideas if there is something to do?
Have a 2 years warranty but I believe they "won't find any problem".

My g4 is pretty bad when trying to type i mispell all kinds of crap and i got the glass on too

My G4 is very difficult to scroll with. It constantly opens links, instead of scrolling. Tried changing the Acessibility settings for response time to slow, and also the pointer speed, but it didn't work. Very frustrating. I almost wonder if someone paid LG to make sure more links get opened. Seems kind of convenient that the end result is you click on almost every single link.

Touchscreen issues

I wonder whether this issue exists only between me and my note7..
Very often I'd have to press same thing (be it button, link, key) an extra time for the phone to actually act on it. At first thought it had to do with the way I was holding the curved screen but it does the same when it's sitting on the table for instance. Kinda reminds me of the nexus 7 similar issues a few years back.
I have tested the touchscreen already and all seems to be fine, in a test environment that is all touches register ok.
So what do you think about this, could it be just some fancy lag?

I'm having a similar experience with mine. It's not particularly annoying, but it's noticeable on a regular basis. I feel like Nova is also behaving a little differently (slightly off with accuracy when I drop icons) which I thought might be related.

I have seen the same issue. Every once in a while I have to re-select a link or touch an option one more time to get it to register. Hopefully this is just first release bugs that eventually get worked out. Not a big deal, but a tad annoying.

same experience here... encountering keyboard lag as well....

Yep ... I can confirm getting this on mine. I thought it was the screen protector at first

Could anyone confirm that the touchscreen input is lagging? I'm using the app 'art canvas' with the spen and when drawing a line around the screen it misses parts of the line, try it and please let me know if it's supposed to act that way.

The pen is the worst here. I even removed the first screen protector still have touch registration issues. Interestingly test apps such as YAMTT work fine. Did you also test the touchscreen with a similar app?

Xperia XA1 Touch on the edge of display not working properly

I am having touch issue here with Xperia XA1. I bought two phones for me and my gf. Touch on the edges of the phone are not working properly on both phones. Keyboard keys like P and L are unresponsive.
I have seen other people complaining on Sony Forum.
Is anyone here having the same issue?
Thanks.

Not here. The full keyboard works without any trouble. If you enable "show taps" in developer options, you can see if your phone is actually detecting your touch.
It could be a faulty digitizer. Happens with even the best flag ships so it's not impossible.

Hi there. I see that you are using an XA1, can I ask you something? Would you be so kind to share its stock wallpapers from its system files please? I know this is not related to your topic but I'm just so desperate to have them...:crying:

I have no Issues with my touch screen. Although when I bought a new cheap screen protector off ebay I am finding sometimes it becomes "unresponsive" (in the corners the screen protector "lifts up" due to the curved glass of the phone and starts collects dust/grime).
Removing the screen protector fixes the issue. Do you have a screen protector?
Another option would be to go into: Settings - About phone - Diagnostics to test the screen. you can tap/ swipe anywhere on the screen and it will give you feedback on if it registered the tap or not. Lets us know!

I also experienced this issue but after switching from Swiftkey keyboard to G-Board and it seems that the issue went away so I doubt it is a hardware issue.

I'm just going to provide an update and say that now even without the screen protector, this phone doesn't really register my touches at the bottom right hand side of the screen. Especially the letter "p", "l", and the backspace key.
Changing keyboards doesn't seem to fix anything. Not sure if I should request for a new phone, or if it could be software related.
EDIT: It seems to have gotten progressively worse. Now its almost impossible to press the "p", "L" and backspace keys and the touch registers maybe 20% of the time. I'm going to ask for a refund, or a replacement.

That's got to be hardware. I reckon your digitizer is faulty. You should be able to return it to the retailer for a replacement. Or get Sony to do it for free.

I have same problem and go to sony care 3 days. Everything work perfectly

I want to give a summary of my story here.
I bought two xperia xa1 about a month ago. Both phones are having touchscreen issue within a week (edges of the screen are not sensitive). I sent to local service center in Singapore.
Now I have got my phones back. They replaced the screen for both phones and they are working fine so far.
Thanks to Sony, my new phones become refurbished phones just after being bought.
I feel like I bought refurbished phones with premium price.

It appears , there are certain batch of devices which have digitizers issues along edges ....
There are similar complaints on amazon regarding the same.

I thought so. Reading through forums on Sony and other websites and you see quite a few people who have this issue.
I got mine replaced on the spot at the store I bought my phone from. So far no issues. But I keep my fingers crossed.
Sony should address this issue. It might be a cheap phone, but still it's their responsibility and should issue a recall, or a replacement for all phones that have this issue.

This is not the first time ,when a batch of devices faced an issue .AFAIK, Xperia Z has a lot with yellow tint. Also one another phone with really fragile speaker.
This might be issue with one particular batch , which might have escaped while testing.
Or issue with display vendor.
Otherwise a solid device.

You don't have to stick with the keyboard the phone came with also why not use the speech to text function and just talk

Yes. I too had the same issue. Did a screen and touch replacement under warranty. Working well

@ross23 @Ticklefish
What screen protector are you guys using ?
There are some reports about screen protectors interfering with touch.
I am not using any screen protection , just a generic rubber case for impact protection.

You can resize the keyboard to "deal" with the issue. But keep in mind that this touch screen issue affect all other apps too. Games and stuff. I personally don't think it is possible to use a phone with a defecting touch screen for long.

I am currently using the Zuslab 3D curved tempered glass screen protector I bought off ebay.
Its good, it does cover the whole screen, including the curved edges of the phone, however, it only has adhesive around the edges of the screen protector, not in the middle. So the middle of the screen does feel a little "hollow" as it an air bubble and not adhesive.

I'm just using a thin plastic one I bought from Amazon for a couple of bucks. It's really just to provide a bit of scratch protection. I'm using a proper case to protect the actual phone.

Maybe the touch issue is a software problem. A few hours ago someone on gsmarena said the problem was resolved with latest software update! (in the XA1 discussion).

Edge of screen touches not registering

Anyone else having issues where touching the edge of the screen but the phone not registering it?
Like in chrome or gmail or any other app that has the menu button at the top right of the app. I hit the 3 dots but nothing happens. I've even tapped multiple times in a row with nothing registered.
Seems I have to go further into the screen where the curved part stops and the screen goes back flat before the touches are registered normally.
I'm curious if this is normal or not, I'm seriously considering returning the phone for this so I want to know if it's just me or not.

Getting the same thing on mine. Only really noticed it on the keyboard trying to get characters on the very right edge. Already got used to it though and just changed how it tap those characters. Should really be fixed by Google though - even if it's just a software sensitivity thing. You're the first other person I've heard of that has seen this though, so....not at all sure how common it is.

I've noticed it to a few times, particularly in the top right corner.

Yep. Happens on the right side constantly.

Yes, a game that I play doesn't scale properly for the different ratio, and not only am I missing stuff hanging over the edges, but I also can't tap on stuff right at the edge. I am definitely remembering why I don't usually get day one phones (or 2nd generation phones, it seems like the 1st gen is always cool but lacking, 2nd has all the features but none of them work, and 3rd they finally fix all the problems... 4th and later are then usually boring).

Unless it's the Moto X you're talking about.
Gen 1 was the best. 2 had some new features but the look got butchered. 3 was a complete mess thanks to Lenovo. 4 after a 2 year hiatus isn't even an X. Just a Lenovo phone wannabe using their purchased Moto brand name and X line. lol
RIP Moto

Yup, I am having the same issues.

I have noticed the same problems as well.
And in Play Music when I try to touch the 3 dots on the album art to select download it jumps down thru the library?
I have also noticed that when using navigator for walking and carrying it in my pocket when I pull it out to check the screen it sometimes takes a while for the screen to come on?

No issues here.
Are you using a screen protector or anything?

No screen protector here. Touch response is terrible on my phone. Takes 2-3 taps for the screen to respond on certain things.

No screen protector. I am using a case, but I took it off and tested and get the same problem without the case too.

Noticed the same thing here on both the left and right side particularly when using the keyboard.

I've noticed something else though, I can run my fingers along the edge and it will scroll. But tapping in the same spot doesn't register so I am thinking it is software filtering out the touches.

I noticed the same thing. tapping on the far right edge doesn't register anything, but pressing and scrolling up/down, there will be a small delay and then it'll start scrolling. Pretty annoying, but should be fixable.

Same problem here... Notice it mostly on lower right. Keyboard and thumbs up in the messenger.

Same with me. I had extreme difficulty registering a key-press when typing a '0' on my keyboard earlier today. As on a normal keyboard, the '0' is on the right edge.
I cannot however seem to recreate the issue now.
Has anyone tried contacting Google support regarding this?

Thought I was imagining it, but it keeps happening to me as well.

Just found this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.anton_mokshyn.touchscreentest which lets you test the touch screen detection. With it I'm finding that the edges of the screen often require two touches to get them to register. I'd be interested to hear what others are seeing.

I feel like I'm the only one who got a non defective pickle. I've literally experienced none of the issues going around in these forums. Thank you lawd
