Double tap to sleep screen

jmvanwe — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 11:58:49 GMT

good afternoon, my name is max and the proud owner of a xz2. I am looking for a way to double tap so my screen is going to sleep. As said in this forum, the possibillity to manage this in settings (right hand corner) is not available on my phone. Who can help me? Thanks

Not sure in your phone. In mine (XA1), with Xperia Launcher installed, long press in home screen, rigth bottom settings icon, and there it is.

Xz2 doesn't have it. My Xz1 didn't either. I use the app "Screen off via short timeout"

Totally agree! SONY, PLEASE bring back:

- Photo Widget (IMPORTANT!) (other substitutes are rubbish!)

- Wrist strap/ lanyard attachment (have to loop it round phone case so it's not that secure) (IMPORTANT!)

- Camera with options shortcut widget (IMPORTANT! and such a handy feature!)

- Double tap to wake up (IMPORTANT!)

- Lift to answer - never worked here or maybe once...

- What's New

- Track ID was great but Shazam works as well.

And improve overall performance, mainly camera error. Such a great phone [XZ2] to start with and going downhill after every "improvement".

Not happy

accessibility options

Not sure if this is the right address but let me try...

Could you add "double tap to wake screen" option under accessibility options:

I have limited finger movement which means I usually use my mobile phone laying down on the desk. It is pretty uncomfortable to take the phone, unlock it on the side button, return and start doing something without pushing some random button/option. This option was available on Z3 Compact and in communication with others, it was commonly used. Also, there were micro apps that let you screenshot without pushing the buttons what is also an issue for me.

I will not comment fingerprint sensors and curviness on the back.

These were options on the previous OS and someone decided to remove it, please let that someone un-remove it.

Is there an option to double tap the screen into sleep mode on my xz2, which I have just upgraded to from a z5 that had the feature?

If lift to check is enabled you can double to get to the lock screen but it's easier just to by pass and hit the finger print scanner to unlock anyway

Double tap to sleep/wake was an extremely useful feature that I regularly used on my Z5.

Can this please be reported to Sony as a feature request in a future update?

@0ctane82

Totally agree with you, but perhaps it has to do with the double tap on the sides on the new XZ3, perhaps Sony was working on this, thus, removing such feature on newer updates. Keep in mind that developing new devices take more than a year so it makes sense (that it was removed/replaced)

@uliwooly

While I see where you're coming from and agree if double tap to sleep/wake would interfere with the new side sense on the XZ3 then they would need to remove it, this doesn't justify removing it on the XZ2.

If it takes a year for development then Sony would have known they were developing the XZ3 when they released the XZ2 and could have enabled it on the XZ2 which does not have side sense and removed it on the XZ3.

I absolutely miss this feature too! Double tap to open/sleep screen was such a convenient feature. Please bring it back Sony... Picking up your phone to open the screen isn't as convenient as tapping the screen.

I totally miss the double tap feature for waking up/sleep screen.

And where is the photo widget?

Please bring this back!

@CHAYsm

When you receive a new notification, your lockscreen with briefly light up in ambient mode. Only then you can double tap to fully wake up the screen.

You are using XZ2, aren't you? The above information only applies to XZ2 family at the moment.
