phone rejects incoming calls. (not blackscreen)

[bittercake]

So as soons i touch the screen to answer it rejects the call. 1/20 i manage to answer but that is at home testing  it out. From pocket IRL ,  impossible to answer.

turned in the phone for repairs, and **bleep** me the tab at the SIM was bright red. .

But thats in the upper left corner, the reject call thingie is in the bottom right corner.

I will probably just get the phone back in same condition in like Xweeks since the red sticker.

So could this even be the problem? the touchscreen works perfect during games and such and its not the blackscreen problem, it just rejects them calls!

made 3 factory resets so probably not a software issue.

Any suggestions?

Peace!

That's a hardware issue, contact your local Xperia Support and request a vacuum test.

@bittercake could you clarify if its the little red button or if it's the water damage indicator

[bittercake]

I was a little unclear, the personel recieving the phone for repairs informed me about this red sticker thingie, that notifies of moisture. had the phone for one week... will pay for it 24 months, very typacal me.

guess ill buy a cheap phone with super long batterylife for all incomming calls!

 @bittercake sorry to hear that, let me see if I can find a link that might help you

Thanx! 

looks kind of drastic for a small issue, but yeah minerals shortcutting that corner of the touchscreen sounds allright to me (gonna research the touchtech)

if they send it right back to me within a couple of weeks, wich they probably will, and this problem remains ill do it.

there is one nervewrecking fact at their website dough. already had the prblem for a week.

Reviveaphone brings water damaged phones back to life, UP TO A MONTH AFTER THE DAMAGES OCCURRED

 lets hope for the best!  tanx again for all the replies!

just saw this on the website aswell:

"We would not advise using Reviveaphone on a partially working phone.

The risk of using the solution on a semi-functioning phone is that the mineral's attached to the phone can be displaced and reattach themselves to more crucial parts on the phone such as the CPU or power supply. Potentially not allowing the phone to power up anymore."

wich sounds kinda strange? then that problem would occour also on completely dead phones? but its a last resort dough.

they do advertise a 90% succsess rate wich is nice, but since its a brand new  phone one might  oughta look at other alternatives.

lcd diplay and digitalizer is 70pounds, 90 original parts. ifixit has a video of replacing it. but that replace guaranties nothing.

I'll might stick to the 20pound extraphone, or invent somekind of smartphone mouse, like a joystick and deactivate touch some way  

Peace!
