Anyone else have to press above the dots for them to respond?

Or is this just my phone?
If I press directly on the softkey dots (Back, Home, Menu) they do nothing, I have to press above them (nearer to the screen) for anything to happen, really quite annoying!

Try swiping upwards slightly on them.

So your saying yes you do?! lol
Any way to fix this, recalibration of the screen maybe? Although everything else responds to touch where it should.

My wife got recently Galaxy Note and buttons over there are so responsive. That's the only biggest flaw I have got with my XS. I kinda got used to it now, but there is still room for improvement. I really hope it is software related and will be corrected with ICS.

Ok well thats sorts that out then, poor design by Sony IMO.. The most frequently used 'buttons' on the phone and they don't work if pressed centrally/directly!
I, like another user in the thread linked to above often press 'Home' when trying to press 'Space'... Also very annoying!

I don't really think this is a real problem, because I always have to touch the screen slightly above where I want it to register. So I think it's the same with the buttons, I have to press slightly underneath the screen and this works perfectly every time.
It also helps to use the whole thumb instead of just the tip.

I never have this "press space and home key responded" problem.

But I do agree there is a certain degree of learning curve for the buttons.
