ever notice when your hands become moist...and when u r pressing an alphabet on the soft keyboard.after u release your fingers..the button will remain pressed or some totally different button will be pressed.
also once u press the keyboard, it will start pressing screen alphabets on its own?...as if some ghost has taken over control.
also..when hands are moist....and u try to unlock the screen or take the call...the slider wont respond to your fingers movement..and i have missed so many calls due to this.
just simple function was tapping on an app becomes so difficult as it ll open up some other app..
i am thinking it could be due to the default screen protector film provided from factory.
anyone with any other android phone face such a problem?
iphone 4 doesnt have this problem

It happens with and without the screen protector. I'm not sure if I have ever experienced this on an Iphone, or as prevelent as on the x10.
Any screen that relies on conductive tech will do this

havent noticed it on other phones.
including X1i ..the first xperia running crappy windows mobile.
i mean touchscreen does give problem with fingers are wet.
but here when fingers are even slightly moist..it starts acting unusable.
i am thinkin of changing the factory fitted protective film
Yea it does get really annoying... and then when it's cold, the warmth from your finger produces condensation on the screen, so I have to sometimes wipe the screen and my fingers dry before the phone's usable.
I agree, it is really hard especially when you press the delete key on your keyboard and erase everything!
I hope that this problem gets solved when multi touch get released, because the screen reception is handled different than now
That's why I keep a towel attached to the hook on the bottom of the phone.

Ok, the X1 was resistive, and under no circumstances whatsoever will wet fingers effect a resistive touch screen like this... Obviously if you use a resistive touch screen under water, you will have some problems.
Apple have been doing capacitive touch screens for a lot longer than sony, so they've probably got their act together on that... Mind you, this is of course one of the drawbacks of the capacitive screen - it will never be as accurate as the resistive versions...
I don't know too much about capacitive screens, but I know you could adjust the sensitivity on a resistive screen... perhaps there's an app somewhere... maybe

No use in removing the factory screen protector. Tried that before to see whether it improves the responsiveness, but it did either.
iPhone 4 also does have this problem and hence it's not related to phones, but it's their behavior under the given circumstances.
This is really annoying, missed so many calls and given up on typing so many sms's after starting over 3 times...
It's a pain when it's raining, and leads me to wonder if the new Motorola Defy can really function as advertised.
Still better than resistive, for me at least. My omnia screen is well knackered I guess because I pressed it too hard over too many months.

The most annoying thing is that I can't answer a call because the slider goes half way to the right and then it returns back to the left! Crappy screen! My finger are always wet, I didn't have such problems with other phones, especially the iPhone was awesome..
guys this happen with me only while my x10 is charging...but still confusing i'm totally disappointed from SE because of many things the battery performance and so many things....
I wonder if there's a way to make the menu and back buttons act as red and green buttons on traditional phones?

the problem is due to it being buggy dual touch only... if we get true multi touch like brazil said it will help this issue

Hi I was wondering if anyone has the same problem as i am having right know.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini pro White SK17I. It was working well untill when i tried to press the back button. I had to wait for so long to get a response from the back button. I tried the same thing with the menu button (Not the physical hone key) it still had the delay. The delay is about 5-10 seconds. Sometimes, you have to wait extremely long or you have to press it again. sometimes it runs normally. But rarely it does work as normally should. I only had the phone for 2 weeks. I was wondering if i can exchange it since i have a 12 Month warranty. thats all the problem I'm having right now
thank you
Me too but not always i discovered that it depends on memory usage.
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
me too..need to press harder..but not usually like that..most of the time, it works normally.
same here..just to make a point, did you have the noise problem as well?
I have the same problem. I think has to do something with the temperature/humity. If its warm outside and i have sweat on my fingers its happens, when its cold and dry everything works fine. I tested with /dev/event/input and with wet fingers it does not even trigger any events.

I got this problem right after installing NFS Shift. Now the back key often doesn't work and the Options key is unresponsive.
It is a known issue related with temperature, affecting more and more people every day (including me). SE is not responding, but seems a design problem:

You'll be surprised, but I do not have such problems

I rebooted, but the problem is still there.
my back key is okay, only menu key is unresponsive at all. i think this is because of hardware problem.
i bought it 1 day ago, though. gonna bring my phone to SE service center tomorrow.
Guys I fixed my problem. This guy on facebook had the same problem as I did. He fixed his and so did I. The reason it lags isnt because of the memory usage. Its some other reasons that I dont remember. Anyway, if you guys still need to fix yours, heres how. First you got to have cottons and a screen protector. The Sony one that you get from the box works. You have to apple one TINY drop of soap onto the cotton then wipe it over your display. Make sure you clean the buttons cause thats the priority. Make sure you cover the top bits. After you done that. Get your clean cotton and wipe it to get the soap out. DONT USE WATER. After thats done, make sure there is no string of cotton left in your screen. After you checked, apply the screen protector then its done. I just did mine today and its going well so far. Trust me guys this isnt a trap to break your phone or anything. I trusted this guy that told me the steps and it worked. What I am trying to say is just give it a go. If you did it like I did, I think you should be fine. I love my xperia again hope it works for you guys

I have no back button issues so far. I once had it slowing down but that was related to an application hanging so low memory might be related.
No problems here so far, but it seems like german phones don't have problems at all. Ive been checking amazon ratings all day long but no1 ever mentions problems with the button
Well some people have the problem. I just wanna help them.

Yea thats nice My guess is, some countries get worse quality phones :/
As far i have the phone the back and menu keys work very fine for me, in fact they are very sensitive... and works fast
I had no problems until the update to Android 2.3.4.
Now I can't even play a game for 10 minutes and it presses the back button a lot.
It looks like it can be related to the firmware.
-----------------
I've seen on another site that other people also are facing more heating after update to 2.3.4. Well, since overheating is related to the issue, it may be possible that it is causing the back button issue for me.
Its Due to Memory Blocks aswell
The Problem is mainly due to too much of moisture in your hands...
to get rid of the problem, wipe off your hand of all moisture, and clean your cellphone screen and the buttons with a soft cloth.
And also remember to clean the used memory. usually its both the problems occurring at the same time, due tio which it seems no to be working..
hope it helps
I've had this problem too and I found out that the cause is the sweat from my hands.

I beg to differ, but my German Mini Pro does have the back-button-issue!
Don't know if it's due to sweaty fingers, I'll try one of these capacitive pens some day.
But I can say, as soon as I plug in the power cord, the button is working again.
Right, the reason I have started this thread is, I see some discomfort using Back capacitive button. I am not complaining that buttons don't respond to touch, they do. All 3 of them.
Let me give you an example: I am playing with the phone, doing something on the screen. After, let's say few minutes, I want to go back, so I touch Back button, but it does not respond. I press few more times and eventually it registers. Some people would say "hit and miss" or "there is an issue with capacitive buttons". I say no, because I am touching it there, where I supposed to, also once it start registering, every time I press it, it registers (I have haptic feedback on, so I know it works). I have problems only, when I am not touching capacitive buttons for some time.
I hope I explained this well. I think this is, what in some reviews has been described as "hit and miss" or "capacitive buttons not register". Do you have the same problem? If yes, why is that happening? Is it software or hardware?
I don't have this problem because I realised that the most sensitive and best working area
for left/right button isactually in the inside space rather than exactly on those little points.
So once I press slightly to the middle, it works. It requires also a little longer press.
Ok, I will try that.
I do agree on the buttons. Probably the only thing to get used to, but one you do, no phone like it period! This is sick an amazing phone it is rediculous
The back button on my phone @ left corner is actually the best out of the three. and maybe I feel the same way about the middle "HOME" button where it registers little higher than the other two. actually I have hit it few times accidentally while I was trying to push the space bar on keyboard.
But every time I felt the haptic feedback, button worked.
I am happy with the performance of the buttons. It seems like they work like the power and eject buttons on the PS3. They respond when you remove your finger.

Right, so by looks of it, there is no issue. Something I have to get used to. Thanks a lot guys. I also hope it will help future buyers as well.
I have not had any problems with the capacitive buttons so far and tbh i prefer them to hardware buttons like on the arc/play etc
No problems here. They are better than the one's on a Samsung galaxy s2.
I used to have a Nexus One and the buttons are similar to that, you sort of have to roll/slide your finger upwards on the button ever so slightly.
I barely notice it but I know what you mean.
I find that if you aim just slightly to the middle of the screen rather than on the dots then it works great

How can you be serious? I have both, and as perfect as the Xperia S is as an upgrade, its capacitive buttons are not as sharp and fool proof..that's my only gripe ...
Example situation of problem:
Right after finishing recording a decent length FullHD video, pressing home or back needs to be done repeatedly to register (MOST of the time).
Not a deal breaker, but I so hope this is software related..
I have the same issue but after one day of owning this phone im learning where to press to get a response first time
Posted with my Sony Xperia S
Well I started off doing the "pressing above the dots" thing, until I noticed you could also swipe them (I swipe from the transparent bar up)....now I'm used to swiping them and never have any problem
I'm liking the swiping method, its impossible to miss and well..it's kinda fun for some reason

Yeah, that works very well. Thanks.
I am just glad we have sorted it out and it turned out it is not a software or hardware issue. After reading some advises, my phone cooperates with me much better.
hi,
There are 3 Touch Buttons at the Bottom of Xperia S.
Back, Home, Menu
These 3 Touch Buttons does not respond very frequently. Back Touch Button is the worst.
And This annoying me very much..
How is your Xperia S? Do you have any tips?
What firmware version do you have? For me, version 6.1.A.2.45 improvement the responsiveness of the buttons. It still isn't perfect but at least it feels much better than previous firmwares.
They tend to be kinda unresponsive, but I found a way to not miss, I slide my finger upwards from the transparent bar going to the screen area, pressing the button on my way up without missing. It's kinda lame when you think about it, but you get used to it, it comes naturally when navigating using the soft keys.

I am using MIUI V4 2.8.31. it based on ROM version 6.1.A.1.58.
Do you think this could be better or fixed with Firmware?
What i am thinking is this problem can be a Hardware problem. I am not sure.. but. i just have such feel...

I think you just need some time to get used to pressing them.
At first I had problems too and had to swipe up on the buttons to get them to register.
Now, I have a 100% "hit accuracy" on the buttons without having to slide.

HI, since I've always had issues (from stock rom up) with hw capacitive buttons (home/back/search/menu), I would like to disable them, maybe my Folio is faulty on them (randomly the back button fires by itself, even if the tablet was left alone on the table).
So I ask Artem or anybody who knows it: I can build from sources, what is the minimal diff I can make to the sources? Is it sufficent to comment out line 'CONFIG_KEYBOARD_FOLIOCAP=y' in tegra_betelgeuse_android_defconfig?
Thank you.

when this happens to me, i click one time on power buttom and than wake it up again. but this isnt the fix solution for the problem, just solves it temporarely
ans solution?
one "solution"
Hello, posting for the first time =)
Anyway, i've had a problem with folios crazy buttons and screen response since day one.
Nothing really changed for me with rom updates and different apps. I have tried it all...
I had enough and finally unplugged that little cable that connects into circuitboard
of those buttons and power-led. This is really no solution but takes care of that problem =)
It also disables power indicator led, so that's a little inconvenience =/. But since unplugged,
touchscreen started to work in every way better like its more responsive and doesn't "freeze" anymore.
But this requires you to disassemble your folio to get to touch with the cable to the circuitboard.
Removing plastic back cover isn't enough, but you Dont have to detache the screen from faceplate.
I'll plug it back on when there's a software fix for buttons behavior. Meanwhile enjoying peace from
button madness =D. Sorry if poor english, i'm Finnish

Hello guys i got a Z2 2 weeks ago and i have 2 problems
1.the touchscreen it ultra sensitive and when i hover my finger over the screen it touches it!
2.the power button and volume buttons are really deep pressed inside that i can almost press them!
I sent the phone to sony service and i demanded a whole mobile new replacement but they said they will fix it, they will replace the screen and they also said once you change screen the buttons are changing too! Is this really happens? Anyone know? Will i have a problem and should i push it for a replacement or evetything will be fine?[emoji33]
If someone had same problem please reply thank you
My buttons are similar to yours, and I have replaced the button several times. The button will naturally go inside after awhile. As for the screen, I recommend you just go to Sony to change
