Looking for tips

Hi all, I'm new to the xperia X1s. I got one for my brother to replace our aged Nexus 4s and liked it so much I got one for myself too.

There are a few things I can't seem to locate on the phone and I thought I'd ask.

The N4 allowed me to set a 'quiet time' on the phone so that notifications would not bother me in the middle of the night. This is something that would happen at 11pm every night and go away at 7am. No intervention was required. How do I find that?

The N4 would also keep the screen on when it was charging. I can't find any way for the Z1s to do that except when using the magnetic charging cable. A standard usb charging will allow the screen to go dark. Is this possible?

TIA

LindaT

You have the Xperia Z1 or the Xperia X1?

Sorry, they are both Z1s. Thanks for the reference. That helped with the quiet time option. Pinning an app is only a partial solution to having the screen stay active when the phone is charging. My N4 was running 4.3 or 4.4 when I first got it and it had that option available. It was still there in 5.0.1, so I don't know why it would have been removed by Sony.

I'll read all of those over and see whatever else I can glean from the list.

Thanks again.

LindaT.

How about

settings > display > daydream

Turn on Daydream to control what happens when the device is docked or charging.
