Does anyone know why Sony Mobile decided to remove the Double-Tap to Wake/Sleep feature on the Xperia X and all the ones since?
Also, does anyone know a way to activate it (aside from using like Nova Launcher's double-tap) or if they're going to bring it back?? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Older Sony Xperia phones had a feature where you can double tap to wake the screen. Since ambient display wasn't there, it just takes you to the lockscreen. Technically we have it, but you have to tap 4 times in order to get to it. (First double tap to wake ambient, then another to go to lockscreen). Also the Xperia home used to have a feature to sleep the phone. I'm not sure if that's still there. I use Nova launcher and can double tap to sleep anyway.

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

Hi,
I love this tablet but I hate the home physical button from Samsung[emoji16] .
Do you know any app that allows to have on screen buttons like on other Android devices?
Thanks.

You need root.
You can edit the build.prop to show the onscreen keys, add the line below:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
or if you install xposed there is a good app called Ultimate dynamic navbar.
Without root there are various apps that can give similar onscreen keys.

Great info. I'm going to be rooting soon so I have this question - where onscreen will the buttons show / how large an area? Thanks!
Have you tried the Assistant Menu? No need for root, just turn it on.

To turn ON the built in function... Assistant Menu...
Go to... the system settings
then tap... Accessibility
Tap... Dexterity and Interaction
Tap... Assistant Menu and turn it ON
This would show a small button which you can place anywhere on the screen with multiple functions.

Ok it was just to be sure, because all I have tested, non rooted, allows me to install what I want (home button, back and recent app), BUT not below the dock ..
I mean if I use for example the keyboard the on screen keys are ON the keyboard, very annoying.

Euh... Samsung is not Motorola or HTC! With download mode and Odin, you can flash all what you want and it's easy.
If you have a french version (i think), your bootloader is unlock. Only some providers lock their BL (Verizon, AT&T...).
And, if you're not sure there is a video here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/video-guide-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-t3224788
It's for 5.0.2, probably your rom version.

Hum,
Maybe my eyes are not good enough but I didn't see these bandings on my unit.
But I noticed much more the bad calibration and over saturation of the colours on adaptive mode, photo mode ...(I am a photographer). Basic mode is the best but not perfect: the whites are a bit grey, and the "auto" contrast bothers me on some of my pics...
The nexus 9 was better for reality display, for a photographer.
But on the other points this tablet is perfect.
Any calibration tool, kernel, app exist for Samsung amoled screens guys? [emoji102]

No problem. I use rom toolbox that is a paid app, but there are free build.prop editors in the playstore. If you copy that line of code, you should just be able to add a line or move to the end of an existing line(there are many!), hit enter and paste it in the space you just made. Often there is an option to save changes, so look for that. Then reboot and screen mirroring should work. This happens when you root and use a modified kernel. Easy fix though. Let me know if you have any issues.
Thank you, Some learning more for my knowledge, cool, I will make the job!

I learned this tip through my note 4. It was an issue early and someone smarter than me helped me out. I would not have known on my own. Many devs seem to be adding that line into there kernels ahead of time so its not always an issue.
As for the red text, its either wanam or gravity box on xposed that can force that text to show normal. I've never tried it, but I do remember seeing that option. Hopefully it will still work for you on lollipop. Its finicky.

Ok. I have also learned something today, that's great.
I have gravity box and Xposed installed, the red text isn't a major problem for me, but I will try to find the tip by myself.
You know I have always been a HTC fanboy and never was able to try and keep a LG or Samsung device more then 3 days because of their ui that were (except the s6) 2 or 3 times slower, or stuttering or laggy than the HTC flagships.
Believe be or not the Samsung tab s2 has the fastest and no lag ui I have ever seen, except in devices like HTC m9, m8 or nexus 5. Of course if the animations are deactivated!

I use the stock alarm clock app all the time. But since the switch to 7.1.19 (From 7.1.12) The Alarm never seems to go off once the phone sits overnight.
As soon as I pickup the phone and unlock the screen the Alarm goes off, so it seems the deep sleep is too deep?
I have MIUI Optimizations off, Memory Management Off, and the battery saver settings are also off. I also tried to Lock the app in memory. Still nothing...
This worked fine for me in all of the other roms except this one (Dev 7.1.19)
Just wondering if its just a bug in the rom and if any of you other guys have noticed the alarm not going off after the phone sits for a long time?
I even tried Alarm Clock Extreme app, still nothing.
Thanks!
Mine works fine on 7.1.19. It's my basic alarm.
I only have battery saver off.

I have the same issue.
Alarm wouldn't go off. I downloaded a couple from the play store as well. Sometimes they work other times not.
At the moment I'm using alarm clock extreme. If the notification is not in the top panel it won't go off. It seems like the app has to be constantly on.
Really annoying with a few little problems lately with ROM updates.
Same issue here. Had to download a3rd party app

That's strange because I just moved to EpicRom 7.1.19 from Dev 7.1.19 and now my alarms are working again...
Do you use exposed? Do you freeze any background tasks?
Just trying to find some common ground...
It is quite strange for me (like for others to), today it worked I don't know why...
I have effectively Xposed installed, I don't think that is coming from it. I had this issue also when I was on official rom without any root or others mods.

Interesting. I haven't installed Xposed yet. (But I had previously when the alarms weren't working)
I suspect its something do to with the freezing of certain app, or at least that what I think it is so far...
I'm going to wait a few days and if the Alarms keep working I'll install Xposed and see how that goes...
Ok, let's wait. you will tell us if everything is going well or not

My alarm is dead since 7.1.12. It is not ringing in the morning. I've to use my yotaphone 2 to wake up. Xposed yes. Freezed, nothing i freezed myself.
If you google that issue you'll find out that this is a common problem with miui, but there's no solution provided that worked for me.
Edit: Tested Google DeskClock, worked. But i've no idea if it works over night, too. Test is going on
Download it st ApkMirror and push it to system/app. I‘ve made a folder GoogleDeskClock and renamed apk to GoogleDeskClock.

But you're not using Android 8, anymore, are you? You were talking about Android 9 and so was I. Samsung removed the dual camera feature in Android 9, just like they have removed a great many other features, as well. These things are all well documented across the treads on this forum. It's nothing new.

I lost the dual camera, i lost the call recording options for what?
For Samsung UI?! Sure it looks better but.... its just UI
I loved this feature, the apk worked fine on 8. It's one feature I really miss. Does anyone know of an alternative that works well on the note 8 pie?

People need to stop being Iphone users. Back in the day, I recall they tried to remove the SD card with the S6. We didn't buy the phone.
Sales did horribly and Samsung said sure, we will put it back.
Now, everyone is flocking buying the S21, sales doing pretty good.
On top no one goes and tells Samsung on Twitter anything.
Samsung wants to make IPHONES.
That's their goal. That's why they paid millions to BTS singers just to get the fanbase.
