I took delivery of my Z3 Compact yesterday, replacing a Moto G. Lovely phone but I am seeing issues when swiping between home screens, swiping between pages in apps like the dialler, and swiping to unlock. When unlocking for example, it doesn't always work: I see the particle trail following my finger but the phone doesn't register this as a swipe. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 attempts to unlock. This is odd. Similarly, swiping left/right to switch home screens is hit and miss and the pages often bounce back. It's quite frustrating. Are there any settings that could be affecting this?
Can't confirm this for my Z3C, works as expected. Not sure, but could it be you turned on glove mode in screen settings (though this would make the screen even more sensitive)?
This happened to me a couple of times after enabling Double Tap to wake phone - hasnt happened since

I can confirm the swiping to unlock, needs 3 or 4 swipes until it unlocks on mine. I have double tap to wake up checked.

by chance, do you have any screen protectors or glove mode switched on
Glove mode is off and I dont have a screen protector.
This sounds like what happens with my Xperia Acro S when the display is wet; I can see the visual feedback from the swipe, but it doesn't actually unlock the phone. But I take it your Z3C is completely dry?
I need to swipe the pattern to unlock my phone several times if I use my left hand. With my right hand I only need to swipe once. I wonder if I used my right hand to swipe the pattern originally. No trouble swiping for the rest.

I only seem to have this issue with the PIN entry - for whatever reason, the phone responds quite slowly when entering PIN, to the point I have to wait about half a second between each digit. My Moto G, a much slower phone, responds instantly when entering the PIN digits.
I ended up switching to a pattern that mimicked my PIN entry motions, as the pattern swipe seems to respond properly.
Kind of weird, since the rest of the phone is very snappy and responsive.
I don't have the glove mode on bh5 the screen seems super sensitive, maybe too much. Also in combination with a different phone size than what your hand is used to. This is how I explain some weird swipes. A few times I swiped and the screen moved, then bounced back. I think we probably have to use wider/stronger swipes? I'm sure I'll get used to it. I remember the same thing happened a few days after I got my previous phone. I think it's a matter of getting used to the sensitivity of the screen. I don't think there is something wrong with it.

I have the same problem. I even returned my first Z3 compact, but now the second one has the same problem.
When I am using my phone one handed with right hand and swipe with my thumb from left to right pages would oftentimes not turn or bounce back. Occasionally swipe right in is executed even though i just did a normal swipe right.
Swiping in 2 handed mode with my index finger seems to be PERFECTLY alright.
This is REALLY annoying!!! Does anyone have a clue if this is a software or hardware issues? Could the displays be faulty in design or is it something they can repair in a software update.
I am willing to wait for a software update, but if its hardware I'd like to return it right away. I have owned plenty of touchphones over the year, I have never experienced anything like this!
Have any of you who are experiencing the issue used Sony phones before?
I'm not ruling out that there is a problem, but perhaps Sony's UI requires longer/faster swipes than you're used to?
I've not noticed it myself, but I'm coming from a Sony phone previously. May or may not be a factor.

I have a Sony Z1 compact. No issue whatsover. I have it still here for comparison. I think you will only experience if you swipe in a particular way, while there are some other ways to swipe where the problem is not there at all.

Agreed.
Coming from a moto G
Not had an issue with unlock, but I did notice I had to do different swipes when flicking between different panes of the home-screen, no biggie now I think I've adjusted.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B60caaAbz4M&list=UUJ0V12wYDgAnWEZREqe_j-g
I have made a video about the issue.
I'm experiencing the same regarding having to use wider swipes sometimes. As far as the lockscreen goes, I have double tap to wake, and have not yet had an issue unlocking the phone.
I also had the same problem and it seems that it's not a software problem (mine was branded Orange with this problem and also after unbranding the problem remains)
Ichanged it today the new one doesn't have this kind of problem (or very rarely)
OK, I've done some more experiments.
Holding my phone in my left hand and swiping using my right index finger is perfect. It's using my thumb that seems to be the issue: it has a larger surface area so my money is on a software issue.
Also, I enabled Sramina mode and checked "Extended usage" (which lowers the processor speed I think) and it works perfectly! Swiping with my thumb shows no issues.
I'm getting used to it now: it's still annoying but muscle memory is starting to kick in and I'm adjusting my swipes to compensate.
Still odd though but I don't think it's a hardware issue,
Had the Z3 compact for a couple of days and I noticed this issue too. However after messing about holding it various ways I believe it is down to the screen being close to the edge of the body of the phone and with one handed use you inadvertently touch the opposite side to the direction you are swiping with the base of your thumb. Result is when you release your swipe, the unwanted contact sends it the other way.
Try verifying this by using two hands and ensuring no other contact when you swipe. Works fine for me, and I can reproduce the problem with one handed use.
Mine has this issue as well. Sometimes it even happens up to 3 times in a row. Maybe it is related to whether it has dragontrail or gorilla glass? Both are used for the z3c.

I am not sure whether it is my mind playing trick with me or not, but I feel like my phone is less sensitive after I did the hard reset (power+volume down). Sometimes I need to press 2-3 times because the first light tap was not detected.
So is there anyway to increase the sensitivity?
I have the same problem, but no idea that is the hardware or only software problem.....
Fresh owner of this Optimus 2X in France, in our community, frandroid.com, we encounter the same problem , I think this is a software issue.
Did someone already contact LG??
Maybe they should include this into the bug list thread.
May I know were you guys having this problem since it is out of the box? or after reset?
I have the same problem started from day 1 till now
I have the same issue and already thought I'd be the only one having this problem.
I would not say it's a problem with sensitivity, but it feels like the touchscreen goes into some kind of sleepmode where then you need to press a second time, to wake it up.
Continuous touching is no problem. (like when typing rapidly on the keyboard)
This video is not from me, but it shows the problem.
Have a look at 13:28 and 13:37. The reviewer tries to hit the "Ackermann" entry, but the touchscreen does not recognize the touch. At 13:37 the guy has to press another time to get the entry selected.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRid-Yhu7Gg&feature=player_embedded
Yes! The touchscreen is definitely less sensitive than my old HTC Hero, and gets quite frustrating sometimes when a scroll misses the first part of the movement or a click is missed.

just in case, are you guys using 20110218 baseband too?
The same problem here. If I unlock the screen and then tap on any on screen apps, I need to touch again for it to open. Only the first time though, after that it function ok. I think this is a bug and needs to be fixed... I have my pc for double-click.
Yep, count me in. Same problem here. Sometimes screen taps aren't registered. Will do some research later on, but I think it's a software problem. (maybe you have to tap 2x as fast )
Hi,
same problem here!
Potentially a driver issue. A Nexus S user had a similar issue in this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18431-tuning-driver-to-deal-with-unresponsive-touchscreen/
He managed to tweak the driver and it works fine now. Need to know C++ (I think?) to understand though.

I see, then probably they will fix it on the next update/gingerbread?
Same issue here.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem seems to be that the screen has zero tolerance when it comes to tapping and swiping together. If you tap and slide your finger a bit directly after the tap, the tap is ignored. In other words your tap has to be a steady tap when you click on a button or an app. Right on the spot and with no swiping or sliding afterwards. I can't reproduce this on any of my other devices.
Ergo, it seems that the natural tapping I'm used to isn't working on the x2. It seems like I have to adjust my tap. I think that this could in principle be solved with a setting somewhere, because clearly the x2 is capable of registering this in for example a web page.
The great thing of this is that you can safely tap and swipe in the app drawer to scroll up and down or left and right. The downside is that a tap with a little swipe isn't registered at all. I would say that LG has choosen here for a wrong setting.
My personal experience about screen sensivity.. can you confirm if it's the same for your device?
I noticed a strange touch response.. and after some tests, I can say that the touch screen and icons are influenced by the surface where the phone was put!
with the phone in my hands, it's all ok (only sometimes - rare - I need to tap more than once).
If I put the phone over a glass surface (like a glass table) without touching it with both hands, the touch and the icons not respond!! NEVER!
If I put the phone on my scanner the touch screen works ok, but the icons not (or only few and rare taps was detected).!
If I put the phone over my big Onkyo amplifier.. It works like in my hands.. or better!! even without touching with hands.. only with a finger!
Put it back on my glass table.. and all stop working again. If I put a aluminium foil under the phone (between phone and table).. the touch and the icons works again !!
If I put it on the bed.. it don't work.
LG support say that they have tested the phone about this issue after my report.. but no strange response was detected by them. I don't know if they really tested it..
Try it and let me know what you think about!
tested on glass surface, I can press and swipe through pages with a finger without problem.
it is true that my device is not so responsive, but aint reaching that level yet
i read about a similar behaviour on other devices because some devices need a proper grounding for the capacitive screen to work correctly. You can find this problem via google.
Some devices have problem in a car-mounting, for example.
But i think thats not the problem the thread-opener talked about?
Guys I'm looking to get this phone and after reading Engadgets review of the X2 where they mention that the screen is not as sensitive to the touch as other phones I got a bit worried and started googling which lead me here!
Is this true? The screen isn't very sensitive and you have to apply more pressure than other capacitive phones?
I know that the OP is talking about a different issue but I reckon LG will get that sorted out via software update, or at least hope so!
Please do post your experience about the screen sensitivity of the X2 as this is putting me off. I currently have the Motorola Milestone 2 which is very sensitive to the touch even with a screen protector on it.
Cheers
Is anyone experiencing touches being registered slightly off target from where you are actually touching the screen? When I enable Settings > Developer Options > "Show touches" and "Pointer location", I see that touches register significantly lower and to the right of where the tip of my finger touches the screen. In the screenshot, you can see that the crosshair and circle are not aligning; the white circle appears to be what is actually registered when using the phone.
This seems like a software/kernel issue. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this yet..it's very annoying!

whoa!! never realise until you mention it.. yea im having that problem too!! im using international version and original made in Taiwan itself.. any custom kernel solve this already??:silly:
I wonder if this is related to the problems people are experiencing using the home key and back key. If touches aren't registering in the right place, surely this could exacerbate an already existing fault with sensitivity of these 'keys'

Have you tried using the calibration tool under Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Advanced -> Calibration tool? Not sure if this would make a difference in your case.
Apparently touching the screen very lightly while using the calibration tool helps capacitive button sensitivity for some people, as well.

That's not changing anything for me. Are you able to confirm whether or not touches are being registered off-target?
i have the same issue
anyone has an ideo to solve this problem?
I almost think that's how it's supposed to be. It's not putting up an X for you to try and touch, it just showing you where you are touching. Now if it was putting up a target for you to try for and it was off that would be different.

It makes sense if they assume that most people are using it one handed with the right hand. You usually would hit the point you are trying to hit a bit low and to the right. But in other cases, you might not.
It's strange. Where the lines intersect is exactly where I touch, so it knows where I am touching. But the circle is always lower right.
Anyone that has received the 1.29 update try this out? Is it fixed? Ive tested this out on other devices and the circle is always where the lines intersect, not like the One.
Happening on mine, too, I just tested it.
It would be one thing if the system weren't reading the coordinates correctly, but it appears that it is.. it's just registering the action off target. That strikes me more as a software/calibration issue. This explains why I've had a hard time hitting very small links on webpages in Firefox.. I'm touching dead on the link, but it's not registering it there.

I don't get this. We've all been using smart phones long enough to know where we're touching the screen and how to do it properly. They shouldn't be trying to compensate for anything, and I hope there's a function somewhere that allows us to recalibrate or turn whatever this is off, so that it simply registers the actions at the exact point of contact.
Do you have the 1.29 update, or an older version?
1.26.502.10. Stock AT&T. Unlocked & rooted, but not ROMd.
mine register where I touch them( 1.29.401.12), yet I feel I am missing more links in the browser than before (but that might be a browser problem, before I used opera mobile)
Hey guys,
I turned on the two developer options and then used a drawing app to confirm where the touches were being registered. It turns out my touches were registering at the intersection of the two lines (which is where I'm actually touching) instead of the circle. Looks like there's really nothing wrong here, other than the way they are displaying that little circle thingy.

I have tested the phone lot , but I haven't noticed this issue. I am even surprised of the touchscreen. I have never seen such a perfectly visible display. I pressed gently and it reacts as normal.
To people with this problem. Did your last phone is Samsung Galaxy? Or have you ever been a longer Samsung user?
I ask cause I have this problem ONLY on Galaxy phones. When I use HTC , even Wildfire It have superior reactions of the touchscreen.
Yeah, even though it seems off, my touches are registering right at the intersection.
Hi, I have a problem with my sony z3 compact, the notification dropdown dropsdown often with a very light tap.
It's so sensitive that the notification bar drops often by itself by tapping apps buttons which are at the top of the screen (back in gmail, whatsapp etc.)
Try it for yourself by tapping lightly at the base of the "o" on the sony logo.
is this a hardware fault with my unit or does your z3 compact do the same?

I made a video illustrating the issue:
http://youtu.be/YOXADb5NgPI
I suppose it is a software choice rather than a hardware one, however my samsung S4 and my old experia ray don't behave this way. You must slide the finger vertically over a portion of the screen to enable the notification dropdown, tapping would not automatically drop down the full notification screen. To me this sounds like a problem because it makes it hard to click buttons at the top of the screen most as of the time the damned notification menu drops down covering the whole screen.
I searched for an option under settings to change the notification settings but either I can't find it or there isn't anything to change it from tap to slide.
Regarding your question I'm not sure, I don't think so. The only issue I noticed (aside from the notification dropdown activated by tap (really annoying) is the camera:
If you set a lock option and unlock the phone by using the camera icon, and then you change the camera mode the phone locks itself again. Basically the 'unlock using the camera icon' let's you take pictures with the selected camera mode without unlocking the phone, but you still have to unlock the phone to use any other phone feature.

It hasn't bothered me, so far.
Though I just checked on my Xperia Z2 Tablet and it doesn't behave that way on that one. Maybe the Z3C's touch screen is just too sensitive, as a side effect of the technology that makes the glove mode possible?

No it hasn't (but I need to pay more attention when using a single hand, will get back to you ). I tend to use two hands because, being the device so smooth I need to be careful and fight gravity quite a lot, I managed to almost drop it two times as it tends to slide from my hand

I have the same Problem with the sensitive notification menu... just lightliy tap anywhere close to it and it springs down and covers the whole screen. Coming from iOS where these things weren't even an issue, it's very annoying. It's currently the main reason why I want to try a different ROM.... Problem is I'm somehow unable to unlock my bootloader, and even then I'm not yet sure how to change the ROM. Damn, on iOS things were so simple... jailbreak tool, go to cydia, customise everything however I want....

Not sure if this will solve your problem, but you can check out All In One Gestures from the Play Store and activate tapping the status bar to do "nothing" by leaving it blank.
Edited: N/m, just tried it, didn't work. Still a useful app though! I'm using it for full immersive mode, so that's kind of another way to solve the status bar problem.

I gave it a go and it didn't work either, sony must do some lowerlevel tweaking to the notification bar.

Another sony dumb crap that I hate. It's so damn sensitive that it pulls down every time I use the phone to my ear. Sometime some quick settings activated and I had no idea wtf happened.
Dumb fuc.k sony is so annoying. Even my Z3C is rooted, I haven't found a way to disable this crap. Full of crapwares, cheap crappy glass and display, now this. Seriously all sony engineers and designers should just eat shi.t and die.
I thought I was alone in this. I've become fed up in call pull the phone away from my ear and it activates the pull down. Sigh.
Anyone else having problems with the sensitivity on fast scrolling? Seems to not be as smooth or compared to the iPhone 6 and HTC One M8 I have been playing with...It's almost too sensitive or something, I can't quite put my finger on it.

There is an earlier topic about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/swipe-issues-t2888154
The phone has an extra-sensitive touch screen because it has a "glove mode", and I'm thinking the effect of the technology for that glove mode isn't completely suppressed when the glove mode is disabled, so the touch screen would still be slightly more sensitive than those of other phones, even when glove mode is disabled.
If glove mode is enabled, the touch screen is so incredibly sensitive that without gloves, it will register a touch when you hover your finger about a millimetre above the touch screen.
I found that for me it helps to use "lighter" and shorter swipes. Also after a swipe lifting my finger a bit higher off the screen than I was used to.
Some people might always have been doing shorter and lighter swipes, hence not everyone is experiencing the problem. It's also been said on the Xperia support forum that not all units use the same glass for the front; some use "gorilla glass", others use "dragontrail" glass. That could also be influencing the touch screen sensitivity/behaviour.
I've adjusted my swiping habits relatively quickly and now I get the bounce back effect only once in a while.
I do hope that Sony comes with a firmware fix to compensate for the over-sensitivity though.

Go into developer options and enable "Show touches", perhaps touch the screen a few times then turn off show touches.
Sorts it out for me! I was having a nightmare swiping down to select words in Fleksy.
This workaround will do for me until Sony fix it properly!

I really wish there was a way to turn down the sensitivity. During typing, I frequently have screen presses register as very short swipes, which is incredibly irritating, as I then have to backspace and delete two words.

Touch screens usually respond to metal. The screen of my Z2 tablet does.
My screen is so sensitive I can operate it using my leg... through the pocket. I saw in Z1 and Z2 threads that there is a config file that can be adjusted, however I'd have to root in order to do that, and I don't want to risk losing my warranty (esp. not when reading about glass breaking by itself).
It's not a massive problem -- all it takes is switching off "double tap to wake" and camera launch button. But those are features that are useful. On the other hand, having my phone suddenly switch Torch on, call a random person in my phonebook or reorder icons on the launcher desktop isn't all that exciting either -- not a fan of surprises.
Has anyone else found the Z3 Compact screen too sensitive? (Glove mode is off, obviously.)

On the other hand, having my phone suddenly switch Torch on, call a random person in my phonebook or reorder icons on the launcher desktop isn't all that exciting either -- not a fan of surprises.
Has anyone else found the Z3 Compact screen too sensitive? (Glove mode is off, obviously.)

On my previous phone (xperia acro s) it often happened that my leg messed with the phone when the screen went on for the alarm going off in my pocket. It was really annoying. I was always afraid that some important settings changed without knowing it.
My screen is so sensitive that I the last couple of weeks only have managed to send a few sms without having to delete several words that are written wrong...!
The speeddialer is also terrible and often leads to wrong contacts...
This phone is by far the worst phone I have ever had regarding these issues!
Is this a sign of a faulty phone or can you relate to these problems as well?
Is there a solution???
My speed dial wasn't working out of the box. Had to make a factory reset, that fixed it. Sensitivity isn't interfering with my writing though. My previous phone was a bit bigger so I had to get used to writing on a smaller keyboard. But why would touchscreen sensitivity be an issue when writing anyway? Are you using a swipe keyboard?
No I'm just using it out of the box settings...? I can see swipe is enabeled but I text normal... I have had to disable autocorrecting words when I write... It is really strange... I have had many different smartphones over the last 15 years and this is by far the most responsive ever tending to be useless because of the many mistakes I make during calls and sms...
I never had any issues what so ever with my M7...?
I have just disabled "motioninput" (roughly translated from danish...) under Xperia-texting and this seems to have helped alot!!!
I'm on the same boat - it's too sensitive compared to my m8. Hoping for update to fix it
You really should try to do what I did and disable motioninput! It really helps ??
I'm on the same boat - it's too sensitive compared to my nexus 4. Hoping for update to fix it
I go into running apps and force stop com.sonymobile.touchscreen.touchfilter.tfpss and it seems to be a little better, still sensitive but at least no bouceback. I should try pm blocking it.

I've tried this as well, but unfortunately no change, I still get bounce-backs when I don't use particularly light and short swipes.
I've had the Motorola moto g 2nd gen for nearly 2 weeks now. I came from a Sony xperia S which I've had since it's launch in 2012.
I love this phone as it's really fast and the interface is really fluid compared to my xperia S.
The problem I have however is that whenever I try to scroll, be it on facebook or on a webpage, the phone thinks I'm clicking instead of actually scrolling. 70% of the time I accidentally click on facebook links or webpage links while my finger was never actually lifted off the screen.
I never had this problem with my sony xperia S. Even though it was slow as hell it still knew whether I was clicking or scrolling. It doesn't matter if I press extremely hard on the screen or lightly. Phone reacts the same way.
Does my phone have a faulty touch screen, or am I just spoiled by my xperia S?
@aolol
Nope, never ever had such problems with mine.
No Scrolling and clicking confusion-issue here
Me thinks somethings wrong with your screen mate. Better get it checked.
And no, the touch response is not supposed to be like that.
I have the same issue and so are several others. Not sure what's causing it.
I also have the same issue, it is really annoying I'd really like to know by what this issue is caused.
I had a screen protector on mine that was causing it, took it off & no more problems. Just a thought...

I Only face this problem whenever my hands are wet with water and still i touch the screen. it clicks where water has left from my hand.
only have this problem when I am not holding the phone (phone on bed/table), it seems the touch screen is not as sensitive as most other phones, on the bright side it also means lower chance of butt dialing (since you need a slide and it is very hard to slide when you are not holding it with your hand..)
Mine does this too - with my finger tip only, near the nail. If I use the flat spot, I don't get so many false touches. I just find it a very sensitive touchscreen.
