No touch response when phone is on a flat surface!

Just noticed that there is no touch response when my phone is kept on a flat surface. Is this a bug or any hardware problem? Anyone here facing this problem?

I also have the same problem the phone's touchscreen don't work on flat surface and also when I hold it in my hands touchscreen works 3/4. when I turn on glove mode,  then turn off the problem is solved for one day, after a day the problem returns. I think than it is a software problem. I am on 4.1.2, which android version do you have on your xperia sp? 

[nick1999]

I think android 4.3 will solve this problem

I contacted Sony support via email and he answered that it is a hardware problem

The poor touch response is down to not holding the phone - nothing to do with a flat surface!

Capacitive touchscreen displays rely on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touches. Because of this, capacitive displays can be controlled with very light touches of a finger and generally cannot be used with a mechanical stylus or a gloved hand.

OK so I stole that definition from the web, but it's the reason the phone doesn't respond when it's on a flat surface.
