Ever been annoyed by your touchscreen registering unintentional touches? My butt sure does (see: butt dial). Well, Sony has a solution and is rolling it out to Xperia ZR handsets of model number C550X now as a beta build (0.1.A.1.0). The app is called Touch Block and primarily aims to stop those unintended touches from occuring, particularly due to water. Naturally, this is possibly only because of the Xperia Z’s waterproof qualities, but I can see the usefulness of such an app in general.
The app also does not inhibit your ability to answer phone calls, deactivating Touch Block whenever there is an incoming call. I would have thought there would be a situation where a call could be answer accidentally as well, but I’m sure that’s just being nit-picky.
If there are any owners with a Xperia ZR of model number C550X who have this app, let us know how useful Touch Block is.
