[#1]

I had bought this xperia sola 2 weeks ago.....it worked like butter since then till today morning......when i discovered that it's touchscreen is not working properly.....

The touch screen is not responding as it should...Sometimes it sens and sometimes not...!!!

As you can see in video...  VIDEO LINK : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjkJaEathV8

1. it's difficult to unlock....   time : 00.04,  2.10

2. then you cant select or delete clock widget (when you touch and hold.....it presumes that u touched ones and opens the clock.)             time :00.24,   2.48

3. Capacitive  buttons are also not responding well...     time :00.27

4. not able to change wallpaper......as when touching and holding in empty region.....it doesn't open the wallpaper widget menu....    time:  00.30,   02.22

    TOUCH and HOLD  is not working....

5. also it have problem in dialing numbers...    time: 00.42

6. things doesn't changes even after restarting....   time :1.39

7. also have problem in app menu....   time : 3.40

In all the whole problem is of touchscreen response......

I have also rest it to factory setting and formatted it's internal memory.....(in case some setting or app has created this problem)  but unfortunately that has also not helped.....

also .162 update is not unavailable from sony(it was available earlier)......!!

also sony companion is also not repairing my phone...it says that your phone is upto date.....
and update centre is also saying phone up to date....and is also not showing"update anyway" feature as suggested by some users....

[jalberto]

I'm from spain.

The phone was working perfectly until 2-3 days ago. I just phoned xperia service, and they told me they don't know nohing about this problem.

[linkin6]

I'm from Belgium. Why?

[Clauu]

Just asking, maybe some batches have problems.

I also have the problem but the here in my country (Philippines) there is no available touchscreen replacement. They said the phone is still new. What will I do to the phone that I can't even unlock the screen???

Same problem here.  In New Zealand, phone from Hong Kong.  Was fine for a start, but last night just started behaving like the posted video.  Removed any recently updated apps and stuff, no change...

would like to know if Sony has seen many Solas coming back with same problem?

Not happy, starting to hate this phone....
