I did upgrade to Android ICS 4.0.4 6.1.1.B.1.10 after a while the home key stops working. It makes the screen flickers but it does not take me to the home screen. I tried rebooting the phone and it did not worked, then I found this post http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/297925#297925 If I enter to service tests screen, the home key works again. Are you aware of this issue? I can provide more info if needed so the problem can be solved on future updates. Thanks in advance.

Please let me know if this problem remains after reinstalling the phone software using SUS.

Thanks Johan, for your reply. I did a full reinstall with the tool you suggested, I was waiting a week to share the results.

At first it seems like the issue was fixed, but on friday I had the same behaviour. Then I did some more testing, and figure it out that the problem occurs when "glove mode" is on, and active. When that occurs, the home button does not work and you have to lock the screen and unlock without activating the glove mode.
