abnormal home screen

JAI0073 — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:03:30 GMT

lately I encountered an abnormal home screen as shown below, I have the whatsapp set to notification on screen pop up, stamina mode ON, running 'alpha' wallpaper apps. It happened after returned from screen off. As you can see, I can't click the "close / View" as it is below the folder icons. only way is to restart the phone. It is not repeatable and not frequent. Hope Sony could review the code and narrow down to the issue.

Touch on shortcut apps which you dont need and if possibe, all the apps.

Just grab them to delete icon which comes below.

Then see the diffrence.

Hope this works.

No, it does not help.

As the entire system already thinks the pop up message is below the icon layer, scrolling to a screen without any icons still can't click (I remember).

Then the last way for you is to backup whole of your data and do a factory data reset.:P

Try to go to Apps/all/ Xperia Home and Clear data (Beware because all customisation to home screen will reset) so you can try this before factory reset..
