Xperia Play Touch unresponsive! HELP!

My Xperia Play's touch screen no longer responds to my touch. I used to be able to do a couple battery pulls and it's fine, everything would work. Now, it no longer responds, no matter how much I try to get it to work. I bought it second hand so i have no warranty.
Here's what I've done:
- About 24 battery pulls...
- Tried software update, which succeeded, but didn't solve my problem.
- Factory Reset, nothing.
- Tried Repairing Phone instead of Updating software, that dind't work (failed for some stupid reason).
Can anyone help me out? Everything else works, just the touch screen.
Thanks.

I think its a hardware fault since you have re installed the software... ermm how old is the device?

According to the guy I bought it from, it's about a couple months old. I got it about a week ago.
Actually, the touch screen just started working again out of nowhere, and it's working as if though nothing happened. If I power off the phone or pull the battery, the touch doesn't work again until I do a few more battery pulls. When it does work, there's no flaws to it, it works perfect..

EVERY Sony erricson comes with a 1 year warranty. I got mine 2nd hand but then after a while my screen died. I phoned Sony and told them the problem. Of course I didn't tell them I bought it off a friend but they didn't ask for proof of purchase. I got my phone back and it's working perfectly.

Okay, so what if I don't have the box? They don't exchange the phone right? And I just took off the screen protector that was on the phone (The one from Factory) and I saw there was a small crack which I didn't see until now since the screen protector did a good job at hiding it. It's was only about an inch and a half long and didn't even come on the screen portion. Would this impact their decision on fixing it?
I think i got pretty screwed over...

Unfortunately I no longer own an Xperia Play, and I never had the problem with a non-responsive touch screen. I recommend you call Sony, or return it to the store where you bought it.

Hello everyone, im kinda sad/mad/idk, yesterday i was texting on my Xperia S, everything normal, when i got a text and i wanted to see it i noticed that the touch wasnt working, i tough well maybe it crashed, i did the power buton+ volume up, restarted all good, when it came to put the PIN the touch wasnt working at all, thats when my heart started beating very hard, i turned off waited, turn on and still nothing, touch wasnt working, i tough gonna try and repair with PC Companion, thats what i did, i did a backup of my data, then started the PC Companion, it repaired etc. when it was done, the touch was working i was like OH tnk you Lord! i choose my language, press OK, all good, it asked for my sim, i put my sim, it restarted, then the same ol happen, touch wasnt working, i did the same i had previously, but this time it didnt work at all.
I dont know what to do i mean, i live in Portugal, i got the Phone in UK, i know there r Sony Centers in Portugal, but i dont know if the Warranty will work?

Well since i got my xperia from UK, and i Live in Portugal, and i left the papers there, Sony would charge me to get my phone fixed, well out of frustration, and since my phone didnt had Warranty, i said "f*ck it", my phone never had the yelow tint thing, i never let it drop on the floor, always use cover and the screen thinggy. i Disasembly all the mobile, and i noticed that at the bottom, some pins were like bent, and i saw on youtube that the same thing had all pins right.(Sorry i dont know the name of the thing im talking, all i know its the 2 things on the bottom that connect the lcd to something). Anyways, with 1 lil screwdriver, i managed to put all the pins straight, then i mount all the mobile, and Voilla!!Touch was working, i was so Happy man, i would had paid alot of money for 1 lil thing, and im sure sony would say they changed the LCD.
Well i hope this helps some1, if ur phone isnt in Warranty, dont be afraid to disasemble it, u might save a FEW EUROS/DOLLARS/POUNDS.
Peace

Mine is having intermittent problems too. So frustrating when you can't do anything at all (can't receive calls!) when the screen stops responding. Will try opening it up and see if the "pins" are not straight.
Thanks.

DO NOT FLASH YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW! If you haven't flashed your phone or anything but using it normally, than you can just go to a Sony center, tell them that your touchscreen isn't responding.
If you haven't flashed your phone before, your warranty has NOT been void! So you can go to a Sony center with your warrant.

Serious Screen Problems

Hi guys
This is my first thread, in this forum. Personally, i've never moded my cell phone, but recently attempted to root and mod my wildfire s.
I succeeded, this forum was really helpfull!
Even before the mod, my screen was driving me crazy. In the begining it took my attempts to unlock the phone. Some other time, in the messages section, keypad would act on his own, literally Even if i typed "A" it would typed "enter" or anything else but "A". So I enabled touch trace to see what happens.Here is the thing, like i suspected, touchscreen's reactions are spoted away of the point i touch. Sometimes, two touch traces appear on the screen.. Some other times, its extremely difficult to unlock the screen, hang up the phone, or use the menu.. So that's the story. With the mod nothing changed..
Is it a hardware problem? Is it a software problem?
Thanks in advance.. :good::good:
PS: I use cyanogenmod 10
Only a couple of apps installed
PS: english is not my mother language so, maybe some unusual expressions and dictation could by used :angel:

i had this problem too:
It's not a big problem..
your hand is wet, and the screen also, but if you dry it with a polyester (of your t-shirt) it will work..
only dry the display and your hand

Hi, ghost inputs is a known issue caused by the charger delivering incorrect voltage/amperes. Are you using the stock one ?

Yes im using the stock one. I ve never measured the output though.. I maybe check it tomorrow.. But the problem is constant and happening, not only when the device is plugged... The other thing is, there isnt only ghost inputs, there are freezings too. Or a thing, where ex: im trying to unlock the phone, so i slide to the side, and visually im almost unlocking it, but in real, nothing happens. Its still on lock screen.

any other?? im kinda desperate with this phone.. :crying:

yes, If re-calibration is not helping then you need to replace the digitizer. Am also suffering the same issue now. Just got my digitizer replaced two days before. But am still suffering from some issues regarding touch. Gonna have to recheck with the retailer

That issue applies while we try accessing the phone while it is charging , right ? I mean, the touch response will be strange while the phone is been charged. But, here the OP is having issues with the touch screen all the time (charging / not-charging) . And re-calibration didn't work too.

I thought this was the error in the first place i measured current and voltage on the output of the charger and it seems legit..

ZL C6503 turning off after rooting

Unlocked bootloader and rooted phone but now is causing my issues. Whenever I use mobile data and connect to maps my phone turns off after 30 seconds or so. Sometimes it won't even turn on I have to connect to charger then it's fine. This happens every time.
I'm on 4.2.2
Build .244
This started after I flashed the above build. This happens Even on older versions. Help please.

You did a full reset and wipe (incl the internal SD)?

I have C6506, I have overheating and reboots. When it overheats a little it reboots automatically, sometimes even doesn't get to homescreen.
I've send a letter to sony, but about 4 days, no answer!
I rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader, flashed stock firmware and nothing changed for a while, but then suddenly it rebooted.
And I locked bootloader, and full wiped all phone, all sd cards, but no luck. Even unrooted the phone, but the Overheating is still there. ;(
Some tips.​Answer for Z1 is firmware downgrading, but is it for our ZL! ?

Well in the end I just sent it in for repairs. Sony are trying to fix issue, it's been over 10 days still not sorted. I think they are awaiting parts, will keep you posted.

Btw downgrading didn't make a difference.

I guess Sony makes it harder for them selves for making so much problems with these Battery's for ZL,Z,Z1 phones. So much clients are very sad and angry and probably they won't buy another Xperia phone ever again. This was an SHOCK FOR ME, that such a company (SONY) would be so lightminded about their phones.
REALLY SAD!

I'll be posting too, when sony writes back!

I did flash generic rom and unlock boot loader via flash tool.

Some say that these problems with inbuilt battery are because of the chargers.
The seller i bought from said that it could solve the problem by finsing the original usb cable and the charger.
The problem with me is that my adapter is for USA and I can't simply use in Latvia(Europe).
So try charging youre phone with original usb and adapter, that came with youre phone.
Somebody knows prices for fizing this problem if sony charges from me.?

Random (and ghostly) touches on screen

Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!

I guess its time for a replacement.

Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...

it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first

I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHFtafL-HKc
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem

So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...

I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

That's exactly the SAME situation the occurred today, almost threw at a wall...when data is on heavy usage, it gets worse...I'll try this, but I seriously thinking about to get a new Moto G...'cause this digitizer gonna take a long time to arrive at my country

So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

Where did you get the eu one? My screen has been like that for a long while, I have learned to live with it, but would love to change it.
thanks

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.
