I bought the xperia sola and in 2 weeks time I too had a similar touchscreen problem(its an intermittent touch). I took it for service and they say they need atleast 8 days to fix this issue

Hi,

I'm also from the Philippines, phone from Hong Kong (branded via Three HK).

Three weeks after I bought it, my Xperia Sola's touch screen responsiveness started to act up. I thought it was some app that caused it as it was intermittent but after resetting the phone, nothing changed.

Now, as evryone have mentioned above, I flashed .162 to fix it but still to no avail.

Has anyone figured out how to get around this? Or have we given up. I actually, also, went to the store where I bought this but they insist that it is MY fault and pulled the usual sh*t - "due to bumps and accidental drops."

So what did you guys do? For those who haven't fixed their phones by flashing to .162.

Currently, I'm downloading a Russian version of a .576. I hope this works.

Thanks,

Daye

Just try to update to .184. I didn't have this problem, but now,  with this fw, display is more responsive.

[jalberto]

[kokolino]
