I among others am expeiencing unacceptabe issues with the touchscreen... Get it sorted please... Sending the handset off for "repais" is a joke.  Just comes back wiped and reset and the issue remains... Admit that it is a problem that would cost you too much to fix or put right so instead you choose to ignore it and bring out a 2nd and 3rd flagship model within 9 months of the Z1's release.

THIS NEEDS FIXING or Sony will lose a lot of loyal customers.

Not happy with Sinhala (Srilanka -LK) rendering. Samsung and others support for Sinhala font rendering on KITKAT even.
