I did the diagnostics with the touch screen, and turned out ok, but sometimes I get swype issues that are similar to the touchscreen problem on older Z1's-- you can see the swype drag line break up and I get garbage (2-3 letter) words onto my text fields. If I change hand positions/put the phone down, and retry--swype works fine. Anyone else having similar issues?
Z1S (tmo), swype problems

Yep, I am. I think people on the Z1 were having the same issue, but some firmware fixed the problem.
..the only FW which can fix this problem is .136. Reported it does, but always can be the exception.
Interesting, I'm on fw 14.2.C.0.159 (C6916), and definitely seeing it (device test was ok). I'm going to check another phone at the store...
Yes, you should. BTW, different model different FW, that is why maybe your problem is not fixed yet...
agree! after flashing .136, problem is still there.
i have already highlight this issue to a sony rep at their forum few days ago. he have already escalated this issue.
Trying to hit the store tomorrow.... But I can't reproduce the error consistently, but I have gotten it to fail on the touchscreen test mainly on the lower half of the screen. And every time, if I reposition my hand, it fixes itself. I do notice more dust on the screen when it has problems.
Makes me think the screen is too sensitive in certain cases (dust, fingerprints,??) , or considering this problem started after I got a very, very fine scratch near the top of the screen....i.e. a scratch on the anti shatter film is creating some problem. I'm getting a zagg screen protector but it would be nice if Sony offered a replacement film.

i play dead trigger 2 in landscape, it also have problem on the upper half of screen.
i always clear the dust before using it. therefore not the dust tat cause the problem.
