[Q] Knock on feature from G2 on Z1?? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Hmm.. it works off of the proximity sensor doesn't it? I wonder if there are any apps that will do this.

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

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!

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:

So 4.3 comes, how about BL unlock?

Can anyone conform 4.3 fix the BL unlock camera issue, or Sony will make us still wait the fix?
Also if this fixed will Sony give Z1 AOSP support like ZU just before?
FFS, give me a chance, my phone is still updating.
However the sony website still DOES NOT list the Z1 on its supported devices. So I suspect its not fixed
Thanks, if this haven't been fix maybe I think I have to stick official a little more longer, but miss the freedom of the AOSP Roms.

Even if it is fixed with this firmware drop it will still require integration into the AOSP projects. Have a little patience champion, we'll know soon enough.

But at least people will come, or the dev section will be almost dead like now. And the device I came also have the same problem, like HTC's BL lock, the things Dev can't mange will lead devices almost dead or take time and the result is next gernretion come, your devices haven't AOSP yet.
Another way, I'm not complain something, just want to see more people in Dev section discuss how to deal with problem/not working, not the eta/will something take Dev lot of time but will finally solve by xxxx official fix or others.

I really don't see how unlocking BL would affect image quality... I mean the problem previously was that unlocking BL would remove DRM, thus you couldn't even open the camera app, no?

It's thought that the BIONZ chip emulation would no longer work.
Its usable HOWEVER the image quality is nothing compared to the original quality before bootloader unlock.

It was said that unlocking disables bionz, so that has to have some effect on pictures.

[DISCUSSION] CM11 for jfltespr

Since no one has made a thread for CM11 on the Sprint GS4, I just made one.
Discuss
Looked around for any feedback regarding CM on this phone, specifically the nightly cm 11. I'm full stock, but I heard that KK CM is pretty stable and great. With all this funding lately it's not looking bad. I don't have many complaints for stock though, so far for me it's been rock solid.
How are the last few CM11 night lies doing? I am on something else now more or less because I have not seen a official thread so though it might not be completely ready yet

For me everything is flawless except Bluetooth. When I switch it on and it connects to my car, Bluetooth on the phone crashes instantly and then it just connects/disconnects over and over again. No word on if/when this will be fixed from what I read on their changelog page.
Lock screen weather is still not working, but that's minor.
Bluetooth still broken for me. This is the longest I've seen an official CM build be this shoddy.

I have the latest nightly running 12/27 and I've used Bluetooth in my car today and it worked fine.
Only problems I've had? Battery life has been pretty crappy.. Also the camera has FC once or twice. But only when the camera is left running and the screen is locked and unlocked. Also I want my slow motion camera back

Battery life has been great for me! I've been using KT latest kernel for 4.4 and used some of his settings and pulled of 21 hrs yesterday with 3+ hrs of screen on time.
And regarding the camera....it's crap! I take photos with it and it shows clear and focused before shot and after, it's blurry around edges
You can, however, use a third party camera app and pics come out fine.

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...

Notification LED

Hello, how do I get the Notification led on my Nexus device to work without rooting ?
Clarify please. Are you trying to enable the notification LED, or something else? If the Notification LED, you can't enable it without root.
LED backlight? Some televisions and other devices have LED backlights in their LCD displays, but Nexus 6 uses an AMOLED display, which actually uses millions of individual LEDs to produce the pixels. It HAS NO backlight.
My bad. It's the notification LED

no root, its not going to happen. you can only enable it with root.

rooting affects updates, but not the speed at which you get them. you can not apply an ota when you have root. but you can update manually whenever you please.
I will stick to the ambient mode in that case, the notification LED would have been a nice compliment though. Manual stuff is only exciting for a short while .Gets tiring in the long run
