Nope, Screen doesn't work

Z4(z5?) screen works under water? I've 2 z5s I must give it a try

Nope mate the screen is heat and touch sensitive I guess your fingers are semi useless are under water and when they are wrinkled once it's out it's all good but not when it's wet, I tried to activate the gloves mode and it was a bit better

I don't think any screen on any phone works well under water.

No, the screen does not sense heat.. It's a capacitive touchscreen, it senses the conductivity of your finger not the heat.

It just doesn't work under water only note 8 touchscreen work under water using its stylus.

[Q] Screen Problem

Hello. My phone sometimes acts like i touched somewhere on screen and hold there neither that I didn't. I faced that in all roms so it's a hardware problem. It makes me crazy sometimes, especially when it happens when gaming. Am I the only one here faces this?
Also my screen works with water too.. Please test that, take some water in a PET bottle and touch it to the screen, then please write this if you face that.

Are you using a matte screen guard? Is there moisture on your hands?

Use a matte finish screen guard/clean your hands before you use your phone and this wont happen.
Water actually makes any capacitive touch phone go beserk.
Have had this problem..and i recommend a MATTE FINISH screen guard. Since the day i am using it, havent had that ghost operate my phone
If you dont get one in your country/state, use galaxy s2's matte screen guard till you find one.

Buddy... For me it was totally opposite... I had switched to a matte screen guard soon after buying my phone last year but I had so much problem with ghost touch... The day i switched to glossy screen guard my problems were solved..
Matte is better as its not a finger print magnet.. But the drawback is that it feels rougher, doesn't have good visibility in the sun, colours don't look as rich.. And for me the screen used to respond on its own.. It also makes some noise when you slide your finger across it(again personal opinion)..
Glossy is better coz its smoother, colours are much much better (personal opinion), it is very user friendly in strong sunlight and it's silent to use (no noise when sliding finger over it).. The drawback is its a fingerprint magnet..

Agreed. Y'day I visit a famous Shop near by My home. I asked him for Matte finished gaurd, but he suggested me to not to use it as it can harm your Screen & visibility will be less then Glossy. All above ^.^ statement was there. So, I haven't let my phone Wore that Protector.

Agreed..when battery gets critically low viewing in the daylight is kinda tough.
Yeah that happens.
But the phone looks beautiful too.
I had changed three clear screen guards and the ghost problem due to moisture was MUCH MUCH higher than the matte. Never experienced it after changing to matte.
Plus clear guards get scratched very easily and quickly which makes the screen go pathetic. Even then viewing.in the sunlight becomes a hassle.
Matte screen guard dont get scratched and last longer.
And when you press hard and slide on the screen..only then it makes a sound.
Rest ive never heard the sound.
Buddy i suggest you to try it again..
I hope it will be a good experience.
And no screen guard can damage the phone.
How can they if they can?

OK thank you all, I will try them both.. First I thought that I'm just the person experienced this and I should send my phone to the service.

[Q] Proximity sensor issues with flap case

I bought three N5 for my parents and myself. The flap cases for the first two of them work well: when the flap is lifted up, the screen wakes up; when the flap is folded, the screen shuts down. However, the third one doesn't work well. Sometimes it works like the other two, but most time it doesn't.
The proximity sensor works well when I make calls. I also installed "Proximity sensor finder" to test the sensor, which actually detects the case accurately. But for some reason I don't know, the Android system doesn't shut down the screen even when the sensor detects a folded case. Anybody knows what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thanks.
Most proximity sensor cases have a magnet near where the volume rocker is. Do all three of your cases have that?
No, none of them has a magnet.

Would the phone in question happen to have a screen protector? Sometimes the screen protector can cause this issue if it isn't installed correctly. Make sure the proximity sensor/light sensor isn't covered by the screen protector.

They have to. That's the way they turn off the screen. It's not the same sensor that turns off the screen when you're on the phone.
Yes, there is a screen protector, which has a whole at the location of the proximity sensor, so it shouldn't be a problem. What baffles me is that "Proximity sensor finder" is able to detect the case cover accurately, but the system cannot respond correctly.

I see. This explains the problem. It seems that the tiny magnet in my case is not effective as it doesn't fold perfectly. Thanks a lot!

If you're 100% sure that the screen protector isn't obstructing the sensor then I would then clean around the area where the sensor is with a micro fiber cloth. If that doesn't doing anything then I would temporary switch the flip case with the one on your parents N5. It is possible that the case on one phone can be faulty. If that still doesn't work then I'd factory reset the phone.
And if that doesn't work... I'd get a warranty replacement. More than likely you have a faulty case.

Its not relevant. They don't work with proximity. They use the hall effect magnetic sensor

You're actually right come to think of it.

I think I should blame the faulty case, as jd1639 and rootSU also pointed out. The magnet in the case is not effective. I believe what jd1639 has said, screen on/off during calls uses proximity sensor, but the response to case flap relies on magnet.

XPERIA Z1 C without screen protector sheet

In my opinion the phone looks better and it feels better

Yup! Now u have no front branding logo & off course no warranty. so how abt. carving TONY PONY in the blank top bezel? Let's see how it looks like!
What say?
Looks like a fake Z1c y'know those ones from China
I removed it too. Screen looks much nicer. But i think the sticky residue was making the screen not smooth to touch and swipe. So i wiped it with alcohol and then put a liquid screen protector (oleophobic coating) and now my compact's screen is so smooth to touch.

I would like to take underwater pics, will the oleophobic crystalusion be removed?

It doesn't void warranty. If the screen smashes with or without the ASF then they're obviously not going to cover it. I took the ASF on my XPERIA Z and thinking of doing the same with my Z1C. Looks and feels better.
Whitout the protector screen, you will have scratch on the screen ? Isn't ?

When I had my Xperia S, I had some pretty deep scratches so after 18 months decided to remove the shatter proof sheet. It was like a brand new phone. So I'll do the same with this one; wait until I've scuffed it up properly and then remove it.
i contacted my sony service in croatia and they said that i can remove the ASF without losing my warranty.
i suggest you do the same, to confirm that you loose yours.

Does it affect screen sensitivity at all? I've seen posts that say removing the film leads to supersensitive response and ghost touches when typing etc.
Did not try it yet, but i was going to put a glass screen protector over it so it could level it out

some say they have ghost touches without the asf
other say they dont have
is there any explanation for the different behavior of different z1c?
maybe panel-producer?
rest of glue ont sthe screen?
Does it safe? How about water protection?
I just got this phone and planing on doing same thing. But first gonna order the screen protector. About the water protection: Idk really. If you do this really delicate I think it's fine. But if you just gonna pull it very strong it may unseal it a bit . (?) Just my thoughts though.

Screen responsiveness and water

Is it normal that when my screen (with screen protector) is wet, it becomes unresponsive to my touches?
I haven't tried using the phone wet and without the screen protector, so I don't know if it happens because of the protector or it is supposed to be like that... But when it has water on the screen, I can't even use it because it won't recognize my fingers,or recognizes the touches erratically.
Thanks for answers!
It happens to every phone/tablet I've used. Hardware limitation, I guess.

Ok, thanks for the answer! This is my first waterproof device
It's due to screen touch being recognized via capacitive change and measuring that. Water conducts electricity too well and the screen can't register anything else. It's the same reason lots of touch screens don't work if you're wearing gloves.

Cracked screen and now does respond

Hi everyone
The issue is that my screen cracked, no reason, I didn't sit on it or in didn't crash in the floor, simply cracked in my jacket pocket.
Now the issue is that half of the screen is not responding.
Is that normal? A small crack makes the touch completely unresponsive?

I think mostly phones which have LCD and Digitizer fused together seize to work. Phones which have different LCD and Digitizer continues to work ..
