Xperia SP Display Problem!

[slimshaddy]

All SP owners please check this in your phone as well.

I'm having problems with my sp's display when the phone is kept on horizontal surface.

In the video,  phone is kept on the bed and i'm trying to use it. But you can see  the screen just misses the touch 😕 I wonder why.

This only happens when the phone is kept horizontally.

Ps: screen guard is not the problem since I checked with 2 different guards and phone works perfectly in hands.

PS2 > The screen works fine while phone is put to charging.

can it be a some kind of guarding mechanism for protecting from accidental toches!?

did you notic that if you angel your phone a little frome flat surface toch will responede..

or if your phone be one a thin surface like glass surface..put your hand  under surface beneathe your phone..the toche will responde!

may be ist a bog??may be its a protecting mechanism!?

i don't seem to have the problem when placing the phone on flat surface or on my bed as i like to play my game while placing the phone on my bed...or when charging..

the problem comes when is phone is slightly hotter..that's all..

Hi Danial-mach1, I don't think is a feature. It's a bug, because Sony said that they investigated it and we must bring our phones to service. But, some people tried it and the issue still persists. And I don't like someone open my phone and do experiments inside it.. and without results.

What I observed is that in glove mode the touch is more receptive. The issue is it can only be enabled if unlocking the screen with a glove or cloth. It would be a good thing if somebody could create a widget for quickly enabling the grove mode from the home screen, or if the glove mode could be enabled also by unlocking the screen without gloves.

I too have this problem with my Xperia SP. Only when it is placed on a horizontal surface like table or bed.

Kindly do something about it 

Hope this is not a hardware issue and could be fixed by any system update or something like that.

so after so much time i once again tried if the problem persists or not and i'm happy to say that it's working fluently. i just did an update some time ago (.254) and it's working fine. still don't know what the problem was and how it got resolved.

Same problem here dude. I can see the brownish vertical lines in the display when the display is off. Also same is noticable when the display is on. It irritates me because my phone is brand new.

HI to all! I have a german Xperia SP and I had similar probs. I had to restart the mobile at least 2x a day, because the display freezed. I was looking for a solution, found this chat, called the hotline aso. I was not motivated to send it to let them try to repair, no sense, this was clear. The last month I tried several options not to throw my mobile againt the wall... It looks so, that I found at least for my mobile a solution. In Settings - Developer Options - I activated FORCE GPU RENDERING FOR 2D DRAWING Since 712h i didnt restart my mobile. No freezing, works fine. About my phone C5303 Android 4.1.2 Build Number 12.0.A.2.254 Bought in August last year
