Notification bar not swiping down.

[Wada]

After update to 8.0 the notifications bar cant be swiped down on the screen except in right had corner and if I'm really careful. On lock screen it works as before the update. My touch screen is working OK although no where near as sensative as before update.

Hi,

I have the same problem too for last few days on the XA1 (Dual SIM) :(.

Same problem here but also struggling to hit my p and q keys !!!!

Same any fixes?

I have the same problem after 8 months. The screen test show that there is a problem in that spot. Does the guarantee cover the problem? Or i will have to pay.

I'm having the same problem with the notification bar at the top of my phone but the rest of my screen seems over sensative.

Same issue here, not related to software I guess as it started before os update..P and q are hard to be hit and the notifications bar is not swiping down at all.. Sony?!

[Tonybob]

Yeah, exact same issue here. P and other edge letters etc are often hard to get but my main gripe is the notification swipe from the top, it's not working 99% of the time and if I get it to work its from a very specific point at the top left under the sensor. So frustrating, seems the 8.0.0 screwed it right up. All diagnostic tests don't show screen issues but there clearly is.

Here the same, still no solution? I've tried almost everything.. Restart, start in safe mode, even to reset my xa1 to factory settings but it didn't work.

Faulty touch is a known issue of the XA1. From what I know, Oreo update only made it worse. Take it to your nearest Sony Care and let them have a look. Hopefully your phone is still in warranty/guarantee.

I did the same. Sony replaced my faulty one.
