Touch Control to wake up Z1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

Are you using lockscreen replacement app like widgetlocker or lockerpro? I too ha've noticed similar problem esp when I am using 3rd party apps.
The screen wakeup is worse if you are trying to turn it on with in few seconds of pressing power bbutton. Coming from iPhone I found that super annoying

I have noticed that my sleep/wake time increased after updating to .253.
It is most likely due to the phone being in deep sleep which is a good thing. Less battery waste.
But think of it this way: when your alarm rings in the morning do you get up instantly? lool

[APP] Autoscreen On/Off - For users with flip covers

Hey guys,
I'm a fairly new XZ user, long time android user since Nexus One days.
When I got my XZ, it came free with a really nice flip case cover. I really want to use some kinda "smart cover" so that I wouldn't have to keep pressing the power button. Soooo... a little digging led me to this app which I've been using for a while.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielkao.autoscreenonoff
You can turn the screen on/off simply by using the proximity sensor.
Do make sure to check the following:
1) Temp disable in landscape
2) Power Save mode (works great with the XZ)
It doesn't consume battery, I've been testing for a week now and it barely drains 1% in 12 hours usage.
It does get a little annoying though if you tend to forget the proximity sensor, so do bear that in mind.
Currently I'm trying to figure out a way to turn it on when screen is off, and turn it off when screen is on. I'll update this when I do.
Try e-robot from google market. Most complex and handy application i've ever seen.

[Q] Knock on feature from G2 on Z1??

Is there any way that we can get this feature from the G2 on the Z1? Basically what it does is when your screen is off you knock twice on the screen and it turns on/off.

I believe it requires kernel level changes. Unfortunately due to the camera breaking upon bootloader unlock there hasn't been a whole lot of custom kernel or AOSP ROM development. Once Sony fixes the bootloader issue I would expect more kernels coming out and wouldn't be surprised to see one with this feature.
Can't wait
Edit: the closest I've seen is a mod to allow the camera button to unlock the screen. Is on this forum somewhere, though definitely not as cool as the double screen tap

Good point. There are. I downloaded ProximityScreen Off Lite yesterday and one more I forget the name of but haven't tested it at all yet. Might work, but will drain battery if you use the screen on function because I think it will need to keep a wakelock

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

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 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.

Why do you care, for what he needs this?
It's possible on some devices. Special kernel for this feature. Dont know if its true, but people was saying, its specially optimized for Snapdragon 800, on other devices there was some battery drain. Maybe something changes untill now.
I hope they're will be some progress about this feature, on our Xperia line phones
[My apologizes for my bad english]
that would be great, to save the HW buttons life
You can use Wake up touch (legacy), it works fine for me but it used to waste about the 20% of my battery charge. It's avaliable in the Google play store.

It would most likely cause serious battery drain, even if it would actually work.
Our CPU architecture does not have that one battery saving core that is responsible for this feature on other phones.
I doubt that implementing the feature would be impossible, but if a lower battery life is the price, I'm not willing to pay it. ^^

Yes this is true. The newer chipsets have the ability to listen to voice like "okay google" and human interaction like tap to wake or whatever, while the processor is sleeping. Our devices do not have that feature so it will result in no deep sleep at all. This is going to be a significant hit on battery life.
The double tap2wake is related to a kernel and I think the doomlord is working on this feature in his new kernel!!!

I tried porting DT2W to our phone (TX) once. It works...but really buggy. Touchscreen misbehaves after some time. So I no longer maintain this thing... If someone wants to try/help, look at my GitHub : https://github.com/updateing/android_kernel_sony_msm8960/tree/dt2w
The kernel source is for OmniROM, not stock 4.3. Keep that in mind if you try this on stock 4.3, something bad may happen...
