Hi guys,I bought a Xperia Mini Pro to my girlfriend.
Like my Xperia Mini has the worst touchscreen that I ever seen/touched.
Try to play Fruit Ninja is impossible,because the touchscreen lose your fingers.
If you draw a circle very fast with a paint app,it's lose your touch.
This is annoying when I navigate on the browser or scroll contacts and music.
Why no one has noticed this problem?
The only problem on your list that i noticed is with fruit ninja but the weird thing is that it's working well with the other app called fruit slice
That's the only problem i noticed about the touchscreen in 2 month of use (sk17)
otherwise I am quite satisfied.
I have Mini Pro (SK17i) and I still get nearly 1000 points in Fruit Ninja (Arcade Mode), not too much but I think it's not bad at all.
I advice you to download "Multi Touch Paint" and you will discover how malfunctioning this touchscreen.
Use this app in "Kids Mode" and made a continuos circle very fast.
In Xperia Mini there are some disconnects.
In Xperia Mini Pro the touch screen is crazy,because the pen is going where don't touch.
I dont know why are you having hard time with screens, but my Xperia mini works perfect, never had any problems with it

Because Fruit Ninja use multitouch while fruit slice use single touch.

I send it to Sony Ericsson Support,I hope that they can fix it.
Using an (constantly under RAM pressure) X8 at the moment I unfortunately have to agree that touchscreen responsiveness is noticeably inferior on both the mini and the mini pro. I noticed when using the device one handed, i.e. operating the screen with the thumb. Fast scrolling is nearly not possible. We're not talking about performance here, the device ist fast. It is about the digitizer being unable to register quick flings over a short distance.
To visualize this I tried Kids Paint Free. It simply draws gestures with random colors for each stroke. This is perfect to determine whether the digitizer has lost the finger: if it has, a new color will be drawn.
I drawed a couple of QUICK vertical up-down flings of about one inch length each at about four strokes per second. The X8 registered these correctly and displayed them at the given length. The mini (and also a mini pro I tried at a local store) registered only at most half an inch of the movement. If you increase gesture speed even further, some are being registered as taps (resulting in a dot being drawn)!
This is exactly what happens when scrolling around: it feels laggy, because you can't input a certain length of fling in a short time, i.e. "give power to the scroll". Occasionally you might even end up with a false tap where you actually wanted a scroll.
Another test is to start on the upper right corner an try to fill the whole screen by diagonally wiping to an fro until you reach the lower left corner. This will even end up in the digitizer not responding until you lift the finger again. It was not possible to fill the screen in one long gesture! Again no problem on the X8.
I returned my mini yesterday for this very reason, it renders the device unusable to me. A real pity, given the otherwise good specs of it.
Now: have I encountered defective devices? Can anyboy confirm? Is there a parameter to set some kind of progression like with mouse pointers on a PC?
You phone might have problem with heating and navigation keys. Keys are connected to screen, so every time you hold you finger on the screen, keys may react by themselves. Send it to service if you have warranty.
Its very strange that you have screen issues... I have sk17i and also try st15 in store. Feelings just awesome,
sensivity and speed is very good. No lag or stucks at all time. Maybe you sould return that one for warranty

Touchscreen responsiveness Xperia Mini (Pro)
Hi all,
thank you for your input. Please don't blame the thread title, I didn't choose it and just didn't want to clutter the forum with another thread on the same topic.
Just for the right scope: my Mini did not overheat in any way, the two soft buttons worked perfectly. Also I'm not complaining about scrolling performance of the OS or the device. Once it scrolls, it does so smooth, lag-free and fast. I'm all about giving drive or momentum into quick (respectively short) strokes.
Please find two screenshots made with Kids Paint to illustrate what I mean. Sorry that I may not yet post image links. I'd be glad if anyone who is content with his or her digitizer performance could try the same on a their mini (pro)s. The APK is also attached.
Test case 1 (vertical flings):
Speed is absolutely of the essence. This screen has to be drawn in less than three seconds. There's no point in doing it slower, it will work. On the Minis I tried it was not possible to get the lines that long in the given time.
Test case 2 (screen fill):
Start at the upper right corner and fill the screen in one continuous stroke. Again, this has to be done in at most five seconds. I have not been able to do so, the Mini's digitizer lost my finger (new color drawn) and stopped completely reacting at about 3/4 of the screen.
I'd happily accept that I had devices from a defective lot and try another. I wouldn't invest time here on this issue if I didn't think that the Mini was THE phone for me (price- and spec-wise).

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.

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?

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.

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:

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

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

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

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.
Strange thing happens to my phone from time
to time. About 3 to 4 millimetres of the left side
of the screen stops reacting to touches. I don't
think it's a hardware problem because when I
switch on auto rotation and rotate my phone a
bottom side of the touchscreen becomes the
left side and it stops register touches as well.

[ROM][ICS 4.0.4][Neo/Neo-V]Locked/Unlocked BL] JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1 Stable |10 Jun|
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542115.
I remember many users reporting that they had problems unlocking their device - it took them up to 5 tries to unlock the phone. I've noticed that if I swipe the "dead" area multiple times quickly the touches get registered about once per 4-6 swipes. I guess it could be the same problem.
Anyhow This are of the touchscreen has been unresponsive for over 5 days now. I have formatted my system/data partitions and on a "clear" rom the area is alive again don't know for how long though. If the dead area moves with rotation of the phone and it's always the left side of the screen being affected whether that be the longer side or the shorter depending on the position of the phone then I guess It has to be software related problem. Am I right?
I could try to visit the service center but I don't feel like leaving the phone with them for the next weeks and also I, ve unlocked my bootloader via sony website so there is a chance that they won't even look at the phone.
Hmm it's pretty weird, i recall there being pretty much the same issue you have, but on MIUI. Contact your ROM dev directly imo or try switching the kernel. A very odd issue indeed....

Please note this is my first thread and not dwelling deep in to the techs of the phone.
Amazon kindly delivered my Xperia 10 Plus this morning and like a little child at Xmas, couldn't wait to unpack and power on.
Now my current status is I have been running on Xperia XZ Premium for last 18 months and decided to see what the deal is with the larger screen X10 plus.
First glance, it's tall, big a just a tad slimmer, suppose that'll be for the one hand use.
Installation of micro sd card and memory card a breeze and since I opted for the dual sim, the sim tray can handle 2 sims easily.
Pros
OS seems to be quicker but the boot up time isn't
Camera capture has improved compared to XZP and will need to check this tomorrow on daylight
The little widgets like side sense is a good way to use phone on handed
handset in one hand feels comfortable and very light but still purchased a case for the phone for the additional protection
Cons
Took a while to remove the google search bar on home screen as OS 9 seems to do this differently when it comes to removing (had to Google it)
Charging time does take a little longer in my experience but this could be down to battery care and stamina
You can't customise what screen is your home screen so if you have 3 screens, 1st screen is your home screen, This is issue for me since I like my icons/apps setup in a way makes to easier for me. Could possibly not be setting the home screen correctly
Had a strange issue with restore from my Google account and it placed two icons for each app downloaded so ended up factory reset and seems to resolve the issue
All in all, still early days as not much time to fiddle with the phone as I required to setup again and juggle the icons on home screen as sadly this didn't do on backup from old phone.
I'll add more comments when I have managed to play with the phone more.
Thanks.
Well, been a few days using the phone and so far had the following as issues or switched off.
1. Camera seems to crash twice on use where app opens but buttons doesn't respond until you have the crash notification. Albeit camera quality is very good compared to XZP.
2. Switched off the Swipe up on home button as it seemed to get messed up with me wanting to access all apps from swiping up from the bottom of phone.
3. As someone else mentioned before, games touch screen buttons not optimised as some games buttons are low right side and makes it very awkward to use when playing.
4. Couple of times you press an icon on app and doesn't seem to launch or takes a while to do anything. One app i remember is launching the messenger app for FB from the FB app. Did sod all and restarted handset to fix it.
I would take some quality pics but where I live is a bit trashy so nothing good atm and will wait for weather to improve.
Just hope others who have the same phone report on same issues for Sony to fix

I have no issues with my Sony Xperia 10 Plus after 4 months so far. It's fast and smooth in my use. I can take great pictures and videos. 21:9 experience is great and amazing!
How is battery life and sot?
I'm seriously considering this phone as an upgrade. I'm in Asia so models here come with 6gb of ram. I'm currently on the z5 premium. Would you say there is any improvement in performance between the xz premium and the 10 plus?

Performance on XZ premium is better compared with Xperia 10 plus. Xperia 10 plus is sluggish en general use. I think there is a problem with the launcher optimization. The only way that i founded to acelerate the smartphone is to deactivating "Animations". After that, the Xperia 10 plus beahvior, results in a great performance, smooth. If you install a 3rd party launcher, the sluggish problem appears again. This phone definitively needs software optimization from Sony. I waiting android 10 fix this situation. I want to highlight that the sound quality from bluetooth is amazing, i thinl is better that xz premium, XZ2. I dont know if Sony increase the audio quality in this model.
I bought this phone yesterday from best buy and to me what a pile of junk, the screen just above the power button actually is separating from the plastic frame, I hear faint pop like sound and I start pressing on the edge of the screen I heard the sound again, on further inspection looks like the adhesive tape they must use to attach the screen to the frame is letting loose from the main frame, this thing is slow and very sluggish. I would advise people not to buy this phone, for the price..... you can buy a older flagship phone or even a oneplus 6t or 6 for less used and runs circles around this sony phone.
