Whether xperia sp has floating touch or not?

pchetan2 — Sat, 25 May 2013 16:33:26 GMT

It seems like xperia sp has floating touch techonology. Sometimes when I keep my finger nearer to the screen,a small circle appears on the screen right below the finger and when I point the finger on to icons the open as if they were TOUCHED to open. I can also scroll web pages,move between touch screens.

this occurs only certain times but not all the time

Would like to know if floating touch exists for xperia sp and if exists,how to use it regularly

Xperia Sp doesn't have floating touch it happens because of the glove mode. Disable it and screen will behave normal.

It exists as glove mode. To try, turn on glove mode in settings and try to unlock the screen by moving your finger slightly above the screen without touching it. If it is activated, you should see small circles around the area you are hovering on.

The key is in the lock screen. It all depends on how the screen is unlocked. If you are as smart as I am it will take only 10 seconds to figure it out.

I have disabled the "glove mode". But when I'm using Chrome, something cuorious is happening. When I pass my finger near the screen, the labels or links of a web turned "selected" (like when you put the pointer on a link (facebook profile link and shows up the information of the person, photo, etc.) in your pc).

So the question is... What is it??????
