Hello guys,
A happy and lucky Z2 owner here. I just wonder if there is any chance to keep the screen on while charging it (on the dock)?
I tried to find that option in Settings but couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Doesn't sony have an app called Smart Connect for this type of stuff? If I remember correctly, you can open Smart Connect and set a condition (attaching to dock) and an action change screen time.
I can't test and give you specifics as I'm on AOSP right now.

Yes, you can. Just go to setting/display/ and u will see the daydream just tick on and follow instructions what u need to show up when using dock charger.

Tap on your build number 7 times to activate developer mode. Once in there, there is a setting to keep screen awake while charging.

I recently purchased this phone and I am moving from a Nexus S, which had auto brightness however I can't seem to find it in the options of the Xperia, I did remove a few apps when I got it so I just wondered if anyone could confirm if the phone has the feature or not?
Thanks
Yes it has, but you cant confiqure this by your self without root and some mods.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm going to hold off rooting until I get my unlock code from my network.
Its on by default.

I used "Quick Settings" to turn off auto brightness but it's good to know it can be turned off without installing anything
Using xperia arc over 6 months so trust me, it work very well. I will explain to you via PM when i get to PC

Just tested the auto brightness in bright sunlight. It is working fine. Put my hand over the sensor and the screen got darker. Removed it an the screen got brighter again.
The brightness changes are very slow though. It takes the phone a few seconds to adjust. Which actually is pretty nice since you don't get abrupt changes.

Correct, that's the design.
Will this damage the screen? If not how would I set the screen to stay on while charging?
Thanks!
It could, but settings > developer options > stay awake

Unfortunate. It is for me on CM9.
Found a somewhat solution. I programed a tectile to toggle car mode. The only problem is that it opens the s voice app, which is kind of annoying.
I am looking for that too. I remember my S2 had an option to keep awake even in stock roms. Is there any 3d party application that is able to do that?
Hey all. Today I installed Tasker on my s3..I was trying to get "turn wifi on at home" working.. I followed tutorials correctly but it did not worked.
So I tried an easy on like - open music player when headphones inserted.. That did not happen too.. What am I supposed to do?

I use tasker, it is great. It has worked perfectly for me on ICS, CM10 and the Samsung JB leaks.
It sounds like you are missing something obvious, I take it you have ticked the "ON" box on the bottom right of the main screen to activate it ?

Can you just select the task and Press the PLAY button?
Does that open up the Music app.
I'm not sure, but maybe the Music app does get loaded in ram but isn't shown in the foreground.
Btw, you can easily do this with PowerAmp. No need for tasker
Yes tried play button too.. Doesn't work...
Btw I don't need the app for this.. I need to turn wifi auto on near home and stuff..
Also I did not bought the app.. I got the apk.. Does this has do do something with it?

If you download the apk from there website it has a 7 day trial. Uninstall then try the website apk and then you'll find out.
I had no problems with tasker when I got my S3 but I've moved to CM10 preview now.

Hi guys...
I bought Xperia Z Ultra just couple of days back. I was excited about having it but the party was ruined when.I realised that it has Calibration problem. (Bought without Warranty)
See if some of you guys has the same problem and can suggest some fix:-
1- Dialing the wrong number from Call Logs.
2- Sometimes the keyboard goes crazy while Drafting email and start typing multiple alphabets I.e. eeee /dddd / ooooo etc.
3- Lag in registering Touch especially on Phone dialing.
Kindly help me with the solution if you have or had the same issue

Which firmware are you on? Had lag with touchscreen. So you should look if you can update your phone.
Also go on Settings/About/test device. There you can test everything on your phone and see what go wrong.

Hi everyone,
I used LG2 for quiet some times. I found that the knock on feature is very handy. Anyone could found any app that resemble that?
You've posted in the wrong section, but the only one I could find (I only searched for two minutes) was the whole G2 launcher that includes the knock on feature. It looks like it works on most phones, but you're also forced to use the ugliest and worst launcher in the world.
You must be rooted and you can download it here:

I just tried that, by pushing apps with right permissions in system/app, but it doesn't work.
I don't know if there's a switch to turn that on or off, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work at all, it's just a simple launcher with no functions at all...

Double tap to wake is a function of the kernel. It has been around long before the G2 in custom kernels (i.e. HTC One with Bulletproof kernel). It is on the Z tablet and a shame Sony did not bring it to the Z Ultra.

I just use Screen Off app from the Playstore. Why should I double tap if I can just single tap it's app icon to make the screen sleep and lock?! To wake it is another thing though. I tested some kernel back then with my SG Note II that do that (touch screen to wake) but it was buggy!
So, it would be if we could find this feature in Google Play (with or without root). I am willing to donate for this feature. Especially the phone is big, would be nice if we can turn on the screen without having to pick up the phone from the table.

There are at least 10 options to turn the screen off, and only half of them require root.
The cool thing to do would be turning the screen ON, or better yet, having the possibility to turn it on and off with two taps on the screen.
If you ever try an LG G2 you will know why that would be cool.
I personally use GMD gesture and turn the screen off pinching three fingers, that's really showing off with all my colleagues and friends...

Well after using this device, a double tap gesture is not that required and maybe introducing additional issue considering its size and weight distribution in the hand. Plus with the flip case it comes with, turn off and on based on proximity sensor is the more elegant way to run this beast. I made my self a tasker script for that and i love it all the more

You know, I really don't seem to get the grip of Tasker. I install it once in a while, try something, nothing ever works, I give up and uninstall it.
I would really like a full guide on this neat program.
I bet you could even make a task for waking up/putting to sleep the phone by a tap on the SmartWatch 2 (a user made a Tasker extension for it here on XDA)...

Well you don't have to use tasker, plenty of alternative method to do proximity on/off.. but well i might write a simple tutorial for tasker if i have time.

Just search for "wave2wake" in the PlayStore app...
Works for me, but it's way too sensitive. And sometimes it just won't notice when I wave.
I say it definitely needs more development, but seeing that since I installed it (yesterday) it already received an update, I also say we're in good hands.
