i've been facing touch issues for the last 3/4 months...
it's very annoying..sometimes lock and unlock makes it normals...but after like 10 minutes i t happens again..i looked up in the sony xperia sites and some people were also complaining about the issue but no reply from sony officials.i thought it was a software problem as some of the other consumers also have this touch issue so i decided to go back to oreo from the latest update..
but the problem stills exists even after flashing back to oreo.
anyone have any idea about this issue?

You wrote quite a few words, but you failed to describe the issue itself.
So, what is the problem?
suppose i'm playing games for around 10 minutes
suddenly if i touch in the middle of the creen it registers at the corner
if i touchat corner it registers elsewhere
when i close the game and swipe on menu
it pulls down the notification bar
even closing the game becomes hard as it continuously registering falut touches

Maybe hardware damage?
Maybe heat?

I have experienced these same issues from time to time. I don't have a fix for it other than to restart your phone. That seems to fix the problem for a while.

One other thing I have done is to just close out of everything, lock the screen then rub it against my shirt to clean the screen a bit. These aren't very scientific approaches but it does seem to work in my case.

Having the same issue!
When touching in the bottom half of the screen (for example when typing on the keyboard), it starts to pull down my notification bar.
Also happened yesterday: was typing sth in WhtasApp, and suddenly I got asked, if i really want to start a phone call. The button for this action is on a upper area, of the screen.

I think it started with a update, a while ago. Cant really say wich one.

For me, it works to lock and unlock the screen. The issue is gone for at least 10 minutes. So i think its a software bug. I am hopeing best for the future android 10 update in Q1 2020.
But for me, such software bugs should not occour. And its weak from sony, they dont release a patch to fix it. Probably my last sony phone...

i also think it is a software bug but i went back to oreo after this problem but the problem still exists.i don't really know what to do and sony didn't even release a statement regarding this issue.

I assume the problem is in the firmware of the touch screen.
A small OS operating with the kernel touch driver
And I assume you can't downgrade it, unless you allow it in the kernel(defconfig)

Same touch issue + accelerometer

I've had the same issue with the touchscreen - inputs along the bottom half pull the notification shade down. Also, my accelerometer fails the xperia test in the support app. Can anyone provide experience with Sony warranty claims? I sent my device in for repair and they literally just sent it back with no comments or remarks on the device or issues : /

Dont think the problem is Software related but Hardware. mine is like that since it got underwatter. problem is that changing the LCD panel can or not fix the issue, the investment alone of the panel 100€ and the hand work 75-100€ is nearly a 2/3 of a new one to not surely fix the problem. What I mean is, without a oficial stand from sony itself we cannot trust/invest money trying to fix and thats a shame.
