[Q] Vibrate on answer

Hi there,
I've been using htc for the last 7 yrs, I tried Sony Tab S more than a year ago after that I decided to make.believe. So I got my Xperia Z 2 days ago, by prr-ordering from Sony Dealer
back to the topic, on my (android) htc devices I used to have this feature, the phone vibrates when the other party answers my outgoing call, so I don't have to hold the phone next to my ears while waiting for the call to be answered. it is extremely important for those who live a busy life like my little self
any app or trick to do it on XZ?

Wouldn't you notice when the phone stops going "beeeeep-beeeep"?
You can hear when someone picks up.
But a swift google told me.

thanks for trying to help
I can't hear the beeep beeep as the phone is far away from my ears and sometimes on the desk (the whole idea is not to hold the phone near your ears while waiting for the answer)
try it, you wont be able to live without it the feature I mean
I tried the above and couple of others from the market, none is working, any other suggestions

Any other suggestions?
I read about modifying phone.apk on galaxy note 2 as this feature is not possible by just installing an app from the market
Can we do the same, it was 2 lines added to the phone.apk?
Can I use the gn2 phone.apk?

sorry, it is for nexus, here is a link about that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766663

If you go through my profile and the posts ive left ive already answered the same question here on xda forums.
Sorry cant find it now.

Thanks, seems all the apps need root access to enable this feature on XZ

bump. Can i replace the phone.apk from my phone with the one posted in the other thread ? are there any other apps that work ?

Battery problem, showing wrong value

So I was testing different undervolt settings and I had to reboot the phone but when the phone had booted I had 25% more battery than before.
I rebooted again after a while to see if it would happen again, then I decided to let the battery discharge while I were playing but it turned off at around 10-15% battery left. Left it in the charger for a while and then created this thread after some searching.
I'm currently not home and have no access to a computer so my searching capabilities is not at their max.

Oh, thats why I couldnt find anything, saw the threads say stock rom so I disregarded them, reading several pages and posts on the phone is bothersome.
Well thanks for the reply, guess I will have to wait untill sony fixes it.

yepp just downgrade it, or be happy with the latest developed bugs LOL

battery problem value
Hi to everyone, my name is Mattia Caramel and I'm new on this forum but I'm following treads since I started like android user
I hope this is the right section for this kind of question (don't kill me if wrong ;P)
Yesterday I decided to restore my xperia z with the internal device restore option, after that when I turned on I saw in the battery menu that the value was completely freaked out!
The normal 8h at "100%" now are 2 days and 10 hours and in stamina mode more than 4 days!
As soon as i saw this i thinked: oh my god, this is the real power of Z! But it isn't real...
Someone can help me with this problem?

Touch Control to wake up Z1

Hi to all,
i come from a Nexus 4, and for that was an aplication that you can wake up the mobile touching them.
Any of you know if that exist for Z1?
Thanks!

XPERIA Tablet Z does have that feature. U wish Z1 had it as well.

I'm using Gravity Screen (can't post link :\ )
- I can swipe over the proximity sensor to wake up the screen.
- If it has not been long since the phone was awake (10 mins by default)
then just picking it up will turn the screen on.
- Keeps the screen on if its senses that it's been held in hands (minor tremors).
- Turns phone off when upside down, as I put it in your pocket.

Thanks so much for this app!
That's exactly what i was looking for!

ProximityScreenOff is similar but has less options and thus uses probably less battery.
I'm using it for about a week now and it works flawlessly. I just have to remember not to use the power button.
Slide2wake across the screen to wake the phone would be even better like I had with my S2 but it required a custom kernel.

It`s strage that nobody hasn`t made port from Tablet Z yet! I mean double tap to wake up. Is this really so hard to do ?

It's not so hard to do but it'll kill our battery.
I noticed great battery life on Sony ROM, stock ROM with no change at all but as soon as I change few things, MOD few apps or apply few MODs (notification bar...) battery life is seriously damaged.
You can only imagine what battery life would we have on custom kernel with lossy optimised "knock" function?!
I'm sure, if there's way and need for this feature - Sony will add it in the first place.
They realised battery life wouldn't be good enough and that's the reason they skip that - they obviously know how to do that

It will not kill battery...
On the hox+ there is a swipe to wake feature if you flash the right kernel...
And with that it is hard to notice any battery drain at all...

With a right kernel I'm sure it won't.
I just said it's probably problem with battery consumption and that's why Sony skipped that.
When you have quead core device with big screen you must pay attention to all apps and details because one by one (app of feature) and you will quickly have device that drains too much power.
I would like to believe that was the reason
But I would surely like to have that, that's awesome feature...

Anyone willing to port this?

Indeed is my favorite feature on my tablet Z.
I am only speculating but a lot of people don't want to invest time on those ports. Takes time and then you have to support it

It should be kernel supposed so someone should port kernel from different device - even it's Sony and it's from Z series - it's not that easy to do that.
But I can't understand why Sony don't want to include that feature in Z1 firmware/kernel?!
If it's working good on Z tables can't see a reason not to add that to Z1?!
Maybe Sony suprise us with Touch to wake in KitKat...
HTC just announced that they will release Kitkat for One in the next 30 days so maybe Sony really skip 4.3 and release 4.4 right away...

Was reading this thread when I saw your post. Tested it on the Z1 ... very good app! thanks

Guys i have this double tap to wake on my unlocked BL XZ! Working pretty great and awesome.. It is kernel related.i can't see any reasons why this can't be ported to Z1.might as well ask Doomlord for this..he is really good at things like these..

really would like this feature on my z1!!

i would love to have this in Z1 too, i love the function on my Tablet Z

Would love this :good:

Xperia T/Tx/V official android 4.3 First Impression

I made this post to let everyone share his impression about the long waited android 4.3 To our beloved phones T/TX/V
share your thoughts =)
and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D
Update
after flashing the usa FTF i just used my mobile for 10mins and seriously i got a new mobile now! nicely done by Sony
Smooth and Graphic is eye blessing just gotta w8 till get rooted and get the smaller navigation bar cuz this one is kinda too big
i love the call animation too It`s a new phone now =) Gratz to everyone
Tx Owner

First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...
Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.
Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?
My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best

My Impression
It snappy ,looks nice ram usages is poor I don't know about battery life yet , sound quality seems to be enhanced :louder ,deeper bass, higher treble all round improvement P.S. for those who don't know first start up will be a tad laggy

Rep
It feels much faster than 4.1.2. I love the lockscreen and the design

I took the share your thoughts part as invitation to share my thoughts on both subjects mentioned.
And I advise you to just let people have their opinion and if I needed to release my frustration over that subject respect that too. Otherwise get out of the internet as you'll get offended every second website you visit.

Your not the first one to complain about it I just want to hear about the update not about the one we're most likely not going to get that's a hole other thread.

Maybe no update centre is a hint that we will not get updated to kit kat?

Stamina mode and camera
- Stamina mode looks like its 2 versions back. It lacks of customization which is in SP and Z series. Besides the (inaccurate) timer there is nothing new. That mode was previously in 4.1.2 just now it looks better.
- Camera - first impression is that it makes better pictures in low light conditions but I cant find settings in menu for resolution and quality - itll be nice if someone tell me where it is.

I didn't know about this. I rely on tap to focus (as someone who knows absolutely nothing about taking a good picture)

I passionately hate the current Xperia lock screen. While I like using other lockscreens, sometimes the default lock screen over-rides it anyway, I think when memory is low. I know I can use a pin, pattern, etc, but I want to be able to look at my phone for a very few short seconds without all the fiddling. Worst Xperia lock screen yet. Even the X10 lock screen was better.

I'm glad this is present, my partner's SP has had it since updating to 4.1 and I've always been a little envious

It doesn't?? Now that surprises me, considering the new walkman app is included in the feature list, and the new walkman app (at least for the SP) does have built in music unlimited :-/

i see a few bugs
First of all, what happened to the stock browser. is it android policy to pass to chrome in 4.3? I dont know about you, bt i dont feel any butter maybe the firmware still needs to get the hang of the device, vut for the moment it feels a bit laggy. Most important: What the hell happened to the volume bar?! i press the volume keys and ony a small grey rectengle appears, no indicator of volume level, i can hear the beeps increassing volume but i dont see it, and if you are in an app like RR3 it doesnt work! anybody had the same problem?

all seams to be fine and working well apart from the GPS on the handset
i tried to purge the gps by putting *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer and purge the assistance data with out no joy i also ran a diagnostic from the setting in the phone and it says no gps found test failed,
completely baffled that something so small i guess can be a big problem ( i am talking about the phone here )
