Touchscreen not workin

Few days back i updated my sola through wifi and from then on the phone's touch just doesnt works,sometime for few mins and sometime for days together,i tried to repair the phone but it says tat there is no new software available...may i know wen the next update wil be launched and any solution for the above problem..i have tried both sus and pcc to get the repair done but its of no use..and the problem worsens wen i use wifi on my phone...If i don use wifi the phone is normal..is this a bug ?the phone's problem is same as in the thread by an other sony user.

Hello pranavkrishna14

Please try the repair process like this:

Run the Pc companion Software

 

Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer

 

1. No matter what the program says do not connect the phone until you complete step 9

2. In the welcome screen if asked click on start, Next you will be shown what media go offers, click on "next" then you will see a presentation on what support zone offers, click on "Finish"

3. In the next section from "support zone" and "media go" new select "support zone"  and click on start.

4. On the next page select "Software update" and click on "start"

At this point if you get an error stating that "unable to install update components" or "server is busy" Please proceed to step 12

5. The program will say that there is no phone connected and will ask you to connect but disregard that and instead choose the option to "repair Phone".(the program will issue you a warning on the content that you will lose during the update)

6. Choose the option to continue.

7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.

8. Choose the Phone from the list (close to the bottom of the list)  click on the icon for the phone and then click on "next"

then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)

At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.

9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then follow the instructions on screen to connect the phone, if done correctly the program will say "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of  "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..."  is shown.)

10. If you failed to follow the steps correctly the phone will turn on and it will request that you "Proceed with the following steps, slide down the notification bar", If this happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and repeat from step 9).

11. If the PC Companion proceeds correctly wait for the update to finish and follow instructions on screen.

 

Dear customer,

12. If "unable to install update components"

1. Close Pc companion

2. Install Java from: http://www.java.com

3. start Pc companion again and try to do the software unlock process once more.

If this fails you might need to send the phone in for repairs.

Hope this helps.

Francis.

apparently the firmware we have was buggy so it is no longer available - meaning unable to use the repair function.  We'll have to wait for new firmware, which should hopefully be very, very soon (I can't go another week with my phone having a barely functioning touchscreen)

Just to be sure, please do a full Factory data reset (Works just like a SUS)

Then test the Touchscreen.

I'll look into the ETA for the new firmware.
