When i say sometimes it fails is because i cant reproduce the problem, i tried 5 times for example but Just 3 tries i was able to reproduce it. When i say so far so good it means that is working perfectly, no problems anymore.

Are you kidding? I hope Sony fixed this in new devices if not it's a kind of joke.
No I wasn't kidding it was more of a question to the masses. I was asking as my Z1S arrives today.
So test it and see by your self and if the issues still there even on new Z1s you should open a thread to inform the people about this.
Oh man God bless you, if your Z1s come with this issue it will be a disaster, 2 generations of problematic phones....... But im optimistic, its impossible that they launch a phone with the same problem.......
This problem only occurs (for me anyway) when the phone is laying on a flat surface, if it's in either of my hands then it's fine.
Strange that my last Z1 didn't have this issue, I read that lowering the pointer speed in language and input can help with the issue but it didn't for me, I suppose I'll just keep my phone in my hand if I need it.
To reproduce the error, place the phone on a surface (wood for example) then open your phone to the lock screen and use a circular motion but don't let go of the screen, if it unlocks then that's a break in contact.
Next replicate the issue while holding the phone in your hand, same circular motion on the lockscreen and it shouldn't unlock.
Make sure you don't have a case on at the time.
It's just a theory at the moment but my guess is that a particular material would be able to fix this issue if embalmed around the handset, so certain cases could actually help this issue.
I am also using a screen protector, just the one that came in the box, been put on perfectly, not a dent or bubble or blemish.
I'm running Monx's 4.3 rom with Doom kernel and my bootloader is unlocked, with a factory unlocked handset.

Hi everybody!
I own a Xperia S (so you will ask why do I post in this topic for the Z1 - I'd like to buy this phone in a few weeks) and I've also this touch screen problem.. So I don't think it is Z1-related, and Z1s might be concerned (xperia s : beggining of 2012, xperia z1 mi 2013.. Bravo Sony!), but I don't hope !
@ghostman2 : So after the 3rd replacement you got a fully-working touchscreen ? That's better than nothing, but they could have fixed the problem 1st time.
I really wanted to buy this phone, but if the problem is still persisting..

Yeah, now its perfect, but instead i sent my z1 to repair i tried ti change the phone but i was unlucky and got 2 problematic ones, so at the 3rd try i tested it inside the store and is all fine...
If you want to buy just test it inside the store, pick the phone and see if will appears any problems...

For me the warranty worked perfectly, i changed the phone 3 times until get a working one, i called Sony, discribed my problem and they changed for me, only 2 days for the change. BUT i recorded the problem and sent to them, so they accept the change.1
