Screen flickering on .244 still - Sony Xperia ZL

I'm still getting screen flickering on hackitz .244 ROM, I thought this issue was addressed with Sony. Now I randomly get random flickers, sometimes it's okay but other times I notice it a lot and it bugs me. Anyways, any help would be much appreciated thanks in return! Also I've installed some mods that might be a possibility so far I've used 5 button nav bar, Google boot animation, purexaudio mod along with srs chsp and DTS sound enhancement. Anyways any help would be appreciated, I'm about to full wipe my phone along with backup.
Edit: I fixed it with a full and proper restore, turns out I deleted a necessary service in titanium backup xD anyways mods close this please.

I've noticed disabling MyXperia happens to cause the screen flickering constantly so I re-enabled it. Soon after I've realized when I followed a tutorial on how to save battery life (for the Xperia Z) I ended up deleting a ton of services such as a bunch of coms.android.blah and VerifyCertificateDummy with a bunch of others and it was constant. I restored and deleted the ones I was comfortable removing/freezing and restarted multiple times to see if the issue persisted. Anyways the flickering is gone now from a completely clean install of Hackitz

Problem Still there
I am on stock .244 build with Bootloader locked and I am experiencing the screen flickering problem as well
Though myxperia service is activated on my phone I am still having problems PLEASE HELP!!

I´m from Brazil and I´m having the same problem (screen flickering). My friend has the same mobile and guess what??? The same problem as well.
I asked to Sony my money back, they will answer me next week.
P.S: I sent it to repair twice, but they just updated the software and sent it me back. Unbelievable!!!

It happened to me suddenly after a week of getting new device from sony.i was tensed n reseted my phone n reinstalled software using SUS..now the flickering is gone...i dont knw wether software cause it or hardware cause it...bt its seems fine now

Screen flickering after 4.0.4 update

Hi there, does anyone else experience screen flicker after latest update? I have never had it before, but after updating it does it now and then. Is there any easy fix for it?

Hi!
I experienced flicker after the update. After an factory reset and an battery charge it was gone. Now there's none. Maybe not an easy fix but worked for me!

Grey background, white background, under lamp, in the dark. Depends, but if you don't have it or don't see it do not try to find it.
It's a big issue many threads, long threads, search but rather don't.

As i never had any flickering, i could presume it is very deep hardware fault and not a software issue, should be repaired by warranty

Uf lets do not get this down this road again....
Please do not mention hardware fault again....It has nothing to do with this matter....
It might be a hw fault, malfunction, etc. But the ota before this .11 fought against it. Meaning the flickering was minimal or gone for most of us.
Now the technical description I do not know. But in more informed threads there was written that the kernel needs time to adapt to make the flickering go away. And most ppl that had flicker pre .11 were helped in matter of hours or days.
So I believe the flickering will be gone also after some usage. Lets get back to this in few days.
And guys who have nothing better to do as to say, it might be a hardware issue, please dont. I would like if only ppl that know what the flickering is about would write in this thread.
So if you never had it, dont have it now. Please ignore this thread ok?
Thank you
Dont wanna sound arrogant or condescending Raider, but I had fights about this already in custom rom threads. I do not wanna go there again. Sorry.
Why we cant see guy problem s profile? 4 th guy with problem, but dont know his profile, I mean messeges.
Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom + faux123 s kernel + Rezound Mod
So 10 days after the update, even though I had few reflashes, so maybe that doesnt help much, but still the flickering is still there.
Anyone else still has flickering now after a longer 4.0.4 usage and did it get better for some?
I had this before the update, then updated and waited 3 days on full brightness (i.read it has to settle with voltage or some stuff). Maybe you could try having it on full brightness? Not saying it will work & believe me, I understand your pain! Hope something works for you soon!
Keep us updated!

My HTC One X screen flickers only when on auto-brightness
Hi,
What do you mean exactly with 'screen-flicker' issues?
Different people use this description for some very different screen issues,
so I don't know if yours is severely bad or just minor...
I personally did experience some light screen flicker when the display is on auto-brightness,
the screen then has short periods where it quickly switches its brightness, and I assumed this
was normal because it's trying to adjust the brightness to the environment lighting.
This effect is easily noticed when scrolling the settings screen and is completely gone
when I deactivate auto-brightness.
maybe this can be helpful...

I have the same thing going on.. it's like the backlight voltage is going up and down real fast.. after reading tons of topics on this matter I guess a lot of you guys are experiencing it.. so where is the official statement from HTC that the update should take up to two weeks to work for the screen???

Just off with HTC after the update last week. (Stock phone not rooted) My One X has been freezing especially on Facebook and twice a day rebooting itself. Slight flickering when scrolling..All errors were logged. Soft reset and Hard reset carried out several times, but no improvement.
HTC have put a service call on it and collecting the phone Thursday.

Try flashing the RUU (this is the first thing HTC will do). It will wipe your phone, so back up. But test it before restoring.
Mine seems only to be flickering with Sense Launcher. No flickering with Nova Launcher. AND Nova is even smoother.

Can someone explain, what this flickering is? It's not similar to the 'Recent Apps'/Grey Colour is it?
I purchased a brand new HOX yesterday which had a screen flicker. The flicker was only noticed on white.
I turned the phone on and was pushed 3 software updates, one after another and thought that after the updates the screen flicker would be solved. I ended up with the 4.0.4 update and the screen flicker was still there. I did a full factory reset and the screen flicker seems to have gone.
I will keep my eye on it, because if needed I can return it for a replacement within 30 days.
Has a factory reset worked for anyone else after updating to 4.0.4?

Not that I know of. I mean that a factory reset helps.
After it was flickering for me. I decided to go and test a custom kernel. Before the only reason I couldn't go with a custom kernel was the flickering. Only on stock it didn't flicker for me.
So as it was flickering I tried faux again, and now I do not notice it anymore.
Maybe it needed time to settle, maybe the UV helped? Or that I shutdown the capacitive buttons lights? I do not know...
But it can also be the change of scenery. As I was before on another continent
you need to wait till the update settles...

Xperia M touchscreen stops responding randomly

Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks
If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.
Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.

Had the same problem a few days ago, at first I thought it was faulty hardware or a bug with the stock firmware.
But it was working perfectly fine the minute before, so I suspected it may be related to something I was doing with the phone at the time.
After some experimenting, I have come to the conclusion that it's somehow affected by (multiple) Google Play apps downloading/installing. During this state, if the system idles and automatically turns off the display, there's a great chance that I can not wake up the phone. I did not try manually turning off the screen.
After the apps have all finished installing completely, I can't repro the problem. (Might have rebooted once, can't remember)
Maybe it's the same situation as yours or your friend's, hope this helps.

Yes, I have a feeling that this is the case.
My Z1C is fine, but I have experienced something similar with my Z Ultra.
It is hard to pinpoint exactly what the cause is, but multiple download and screen turning off reminds me of the situation when I run my U-torrent app on my ZU. At first I thought it was screen of death that was affecting some of the device back then on the older firmwares, but came to understand that it is the torrent app causing the probs.
So multiple play store apps download can possibly have similar issues!
Hmmm, no apps downloading at the time, just killed all of the background apps and seems to have worked
Cheers guys

It's a common issue I've found with pretty much any Android device (experience of it on Samsung Galaxy S, HTC One X, and now Sony Xperia Z1 Compact).
It's rare, but whenever I notice it, it's always linked to the phone doing a complication of heavy task processing (such as installing apps) at the same time as heavy downloads (such as downloading apps).
If I've left my apps for a while, and then update say 30 all together, you'll get this issue on pretty much any android phone while it's trying to hammer away at the other tasks it's doing.
Have the same issue here, without any Google Play downloading going on. I didn't have that on my previous Android phone (Motorola Droid RAZR).
I noticed that rebooting the phone cures the problem for a while, but I would like to solve the problem once and for all.

a solution
I just had to deal with this. Power button gets progressively worse til it never responds again. You can remap other buttons but you're stuck once it powers off!
The cause is that the ribbon cable connector for the power & volume buttons worked itself loose. It can be fixed by putting a little foam pad on it to discourage it from coming loose again. I think it's amanufacturing fault - there should have been one put on at the factory. The connector is under the screen; you don't need to disassemble anything else, but the screen is very, VERY easy to break when removing - heroic patience required

[Q] Phone always unlocks to speakerphone?

I've been getting a weird issue on my Z1 compact these last couple of days. Whenever I get a phone call and I swipe to answer the phone keeps putting the call straight to speakerphone. It's really starting to annoy me, I've looked through the settings and can't see anywhere this could be configured, I've also tried rebooting the phone but the same issue keeps happening. Is anyone else getting this?

I've got the same problem. Don't understand what's wrong. Started maybe a week ago
Have experienced this issue couple of times. Something to do with over sensitive screen and fast swipe.
Try unlocking phone with little more pressure and little slower swipe and then lift the finger.

Here is a thread in Sonys support forum: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...es-straight-to-loudspeaker/m-p/585801#U585801
There is the recommandation: uninstall or disable chrome. But imho this can't be the solution. I don't want to quit using chrome just because Sony has a bug in their software...
If it fixes by removing an app they for sure that's not sonys fault. Chrome has the issue, Sony doesn't own chrome hence you should not blame sony for this bug.

But why i don't have this issue on my GNex or my girlfriend on her Nexus4?
Maybe this issue is caused by chrome, but it seems to be the combination chrome <--> Z1 Compact.
But if it's realy just the last update and chrome will be fixed, i will be satisfied.
But i'm not sure if google will fix chrome, just because one phone can't handle it...

Dont worry z1 compact isn't the only one having this issue.

See... The issue lies in chromium and WebRTC integration. When the browser is open it enables speaker mode for WebRTC but when phone activates audio process is already being used by the browser hence cannot be overriden by the phone.
UPDATE:
Ok news! Looks like HTC One 4.4 update also has this similar problem.. Although a lot worse.

Potential Xperia Z1 touch screen fix (please test)

PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS FIX! If you are experiencing any touch screen irregularities, then it IS HARDWARE related. Use the warranty of the phone and either request a new device, or get a different device. Ignore the remainder of this post and the thread.
Sorry if this is very long and boring, but saying it all now saves everyone from saying it later
There is a massive problem that the Z1 suffers from, an erratic touch screen.
Some people have the problem, whilst others don't. I am one of the unlucky owners of a Z1 which has this problem :crying:
People report that the screen registers an input, then shortly losses the input and then regains it, making web browsing difficult as anything you scroll by could be clicked by accident.
I suffer from that and then some. If I use the phone for a prolonged period of time (usually 20 minutes), the screen will register my input at completely different places to where my finger actually is!
This makes normal use almost impossible since you have no control as to where it will register your input.
Oddly enough, locking the phone for a few seconds (just long enough so that the phone falls into deep sleep) then waking it again makes the problem disappear temporarily. It does start doing it again eventually. This happens regardless of phone temperature. This also proves that the issue isn't hardware related, as if it was then it should be doing this all the time, regardless of anything.
Trying to do a clean install fails to fix the issue (at least for me), and even the highly anticipated KitKat update failed to address the issue, despite them claiming that KitKat will fix it (it didn't work for me).
NOW comes the possible solution. Since I know that this could not be a hardware issue, there must be a way to fix it via the software.
I researched a lot and found something that could fix the issue.
I'm saying this now. I don't guarantee that this will fix the problem, but trying won't hurt anyone
I didn't do a nandroid backup (I'm on 4.4.2 = no system mount in recovery), but if you feel uncomfortable with this, then by all means make one
You will need the following:
Root
Terminal Emulator
Any file explorer with root access
External microSD Card
Any stock/stock based Sony ROM (try the fix on other custom ROMS if you want. No harm in trying, cough NANDROID IS YOUR FRIEND )
1: Open up the Terminal Emulator
2: Type in "su" with no inverted commas.
3: Type in the following command: touch /sdcard1/Calibration.ini
There must be a space between "touch" and "/".
If done right, you should get no response (no message at all, just back to "[email protected]:/ #"
4: Enter and after that, shutdown the phone. Whilst it is booting, do not touch the screen. You can safely touch the screen after it is done booting (when you can see the UI). You can also reboot it instead of shutting it down, but I found that a proper shutdown works better (your mileage may very).
5: Goto a file explorer and delete the "Calibration.ini" file. This will prevent the phone from calibrating the screen after every reboot (not needed since it has just been calibrated).
6: All done :highfive:
Now, test the phone properly and see if the problem is gone.
If you have the time and patience, I recommend setting the screen timeout to 30 minutes and using the phone without letting the screen turn off. If it doesn't do anything strange in that time, then you can safely assume that the problem is gone for good :highfive:
Ever since I did this, the problem has ceased to be. It has gone and met its maker
Hopefully you will have the same results
Even if it didn't work, there was no harm in trying
Good luck! :good:
Note: For the app that does the same thing as this method, see post #2
Please link sources where you found all this info? I found threads about three years old using this method on G-Tablet and stuff from back in the day but wonder if it's still actually working.
There's also an APP that calibrates the screen without reboot with reference to above manual fix:

Those which you posted are not exactly the ones I discovered.
That would be this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960416
I knew about that app also, but I don't want to risk using it. I think that the manual method is better since it can work on any phone (or at least I think every phone)
That app may only be developed for a specific device and using it on other devices sounds like trouble to me.
Either way, the manual method worked for me. I severely doubted it would work but it did. I tested the phone for at least 1 hour straight without letting the display turn off. Game after game I ran, battery drained by at least 18% and there was not a sign that the screen was going to bugger out again
I even set the screen timeout to 30 minutes just to make sure it won't sleep.
Still no sign of the problem, 5 hours later
I haven't rebooted it yet. I don't know if it will come back once a reboot has happened...
Seems to be working
I did your method and also changed the touch filter level from 2 to 5 as mentioned in another thread. I havent had the issue since, not sure if it was your method or his or a combination of the 2, but really glad its gone. Thanks a million.

Space is missing after "touch"...

The app seems to invoke online calibration. Works fine here and I feel improvement. Of course it could be placebo.
I will try to disassemble the app when I got the time. I want to know what it does and how it does it.

you could also try the APK in the other post... i tried that and it worked for me
The app has definitely worked for me. I would mostly notice the bug when scrolling in the Falcon Twitter app - tweets would open accidentally all the time, it hasn't happened once since using the app.

lol maybe i'm blind
Thanks for the help it works
I'm very glad to see that people are having positive results with the terminal method and even the application that was linked earlier
Doubted that the application world work
I have to add this though. After testing a bit more, the problem hasn't come back. However, I did discover that wiping cache and delvik will make the problem come back again with a vengeance. So, I did the fix again and what do you know? Problem is gone again
One last thing. Every time the phone boots up with the Calibration.ini file, you might get different results with regards to calibration. I recommend that once you are contempt with the outcome of the calibration, DELETE THE FILE ASAP!
Also, shutdown the phone instead of rebooting it
Have fun
