[XPS] Back button strange behaviour - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi,
Recently, my XPS has been showing a strange thing with the back hw button (the left one).
I click on it, I feel the buzz but nothing happens. Only when I click anywhere on the screen it goes back. It happens in many different apps.
Have you noticed anything similar?
XPS stock ics .55 rooted
Without screen protector

It appears to be nothing but software glitch.
How about re-installing the phone's software ?
That would result in loss of root access though

I really don't feel like reinstalling anything before JB update.
In the meantime I've developed a new theory yet to be tested. Maybe this only happens when the phone is charging. Could be an electrostatic phenomena with the capacitive button... I will try to register the conditions every time it happens.

All right, that would be great.
I've tested on mine, it's working fine in every case.
It's a long time for JB. You can expect it at the end of April or in later month

It really seems that only happens when I'm charging the phone...

Booting problem

My xperia play wont boot, It only flashes a red power light only when charging. Previously my battery ran dry now when I charge it only flashes a red light. I tried charging it but no difference. I tried another battery it still won't boot, I went to the extent of trying my battery in another xperia play and the battery works perfectly in it. I'm stumped plz help

You may have bricked it. Have you tried installing any rooms lately? Consider flashing back your stock firmware with "flash tool".
I have a stock device that has never been flashed or tampered with. Does anyone know what the flashing led mean?

Leave it charging. Sometimes the battery is too low to turn on. If not, try a new battery

Didnt u read.... I used another battery in it and it didnt boot, plus I tried my battery in another xperia play and it worked!!
If it's never even been rooted, then you should take it in for repair. Maybe a hardware issue.

Maybe if he researched but oh well, this what I have and sometimes it indicates a hardware component is damaged meaning find out what it is,
you should:
Go to your phone provider and ask them do NOT MENTION ABOUT ANY ROOTING OR BL UNLOCKING.
Find out what problem it has .
Or never use it again (Dont do it)
In my case the digitlizer "Screen" is broken, because back in march I used to boot my phone and the screen wouldnt sometimes work of course there could be another problem but...
Yea I realised I tried turned it on with the battery in the wrong way. I realised it didn't come on and when I fixed the battery right it still wouldn't come on. It just kept flashing the red light only when I tried to charge via USB or wall charger

Screen not timing out

So I noticed this a few days ago. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. It will work for a while and then it will no longer time out. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to working order. Ive tried this with and without smart stay on and got the same results. I do not have any applications installed that would cause the screen not to time out, plus it works from time to time. Any ideas as to why it may be doing this?
This has been happening to me lately too... Don't really know what could it be.

Yes I'd also like to know as it is a bit annoying and killing my battery if I dont catch it!
This used to happen to me too. I even returned phone and it started happening again. This seems to be a bug. I flashed a new rom and it never happened again

Zl home icons unresponsive

I have found that my home icons are unresponsive. Pressing them is indicated, but no axon happens unless it is pressed multiple times.
Has this happened to anyone else out there?

you applied root and recovery?
No, right now it's pure stock.
I've done some reading and found it has to do with installing root explorers and things like that (not specific other than that) and causing issues with the xperia launcher. Th did some sort of software repair after deleting the apps. That seems like a convoluted solution to a dumb problem.
Did a factory reset and i'm good now, just gonna watch the apps I install I guess.
With that said, does anybody know of any specific apps that might cause this?

On which firmware u are?
If u are on a fw before .253, it is a problem with the Sony launcher, it has to do with the animation settings into developer settings, don't turn animation time to off, otherwise u got them unresponsive after restarting the phone.
I'm on .395 right now and after not sideloading anything I seem to be good to go. I also have the dev option animations set to X.5 so that may be it as well.
I'll leave the animations as is and try my other apps again and see if it happens again.
If you have any other info about the ZL that i should be aware of please don't hesitate to post here or pm me. As a new owner I like to hear about other's experience with it after a while.
Thanks again!

touch pads glitching help!!

So the other day I was playing minecraft on my xperia play and the touch pads were acting weird. My screen would randomly move without me touching it. when I did try to use them that randomness was fighting what I wanted it to do so I got no where. To me it seems like its registering touches on its own. has any one else come by this problem? also how do I fix it?
Yes it has happend to me, What rom u on?, Im on a GB Rom, Im running The Super Nexus Project,
Check my Sig for more info!
I just bought it and was testing everything out. I haven't rooted yet.
Oh ok, might be a MCPE BUG as it only happens in mcpe 0.7.1

Maybe your hardware is damaged. It you can return it you should or exchange it. Seems like its an actual touchpad problem not software though I havent seen anyone mention this before. Bad luck

All games are messing up for me. I can't return it cause I got it from eBay but its fine I'm not to upset. If any thing: can buy another (this time new) and use it for parts.:thumbup:

Got similar few months ago. Screen starts randomly behave as touched and touchpads gone. When turned off and removed battery it starts working properly until next time.
I tried stock firmware same happen. Even I've send phone to Sony service twice but no resolve.
I have not much problems with random screen touches now but before using touchpads need to turn off phone and remove battery.
i did this also and still nothing. it just spazzes out on every game that involves the touch pads.

Buttons not functioning

Anyone ever have the home, menu, back, and search keys not function properly? Doesn't seem to be an issue with the ROM as I have tried a couple and have the problem on both all of a sudden.
By not function properly, I mean not function at all. Hitting those buttons has no effect.
Any ideas?

Started happening on ascension oblivion after about 3 weeks of using the ROM. Switched to chillybeans cm10.1 to see if that would fix it but no luck. I have also tried doing a few full wipes and reinstalling both ROMs.
Thinking about going back to stock to see if that fixes it, but really don't want to.

Turning them on didn't seem to fix my issue. However turning them off completely and using the navbar in cm 10.1 is working for me for now. Thanks for the tip.
Is it possible that the buttons not working is a hardware issue?

Do you have a screen protector on? I've never heard of em having issues though sorry to say.. of course i twist mine a little side to side outta boredom.. Semi take it apart you might have dust or dirt in there
No, don't have a screen protector on. I haven't heard of them not working either. Unfortunately, my phone is my only source of internet access for the next few days. So its not easy to do much research.
