Close all apps button missing Xperia Z3

After I updated to Lollipop, the "close all" button in recent apps has disappeared.

Strange to take away features in a "update", isn't it?

I am not sure how the close all worked,but if swiped from recent apps manager,the apps are closed (don't think force closed though).

Hi,

when I clicked in the past on the right button in the bottom of the screen, I could see all my apps, and could close one each by each, but had an option that said : "close all".

Since the upgrade to lolipop, I didn't have it anymore.

How to fix it ?

thanks,

Dear Sony, I like your Android 5.0 update pretty much but there is one thing I absolutely cant stand and that is the nonexistent Clear All Button for apps and tabs that were kept in the background. I feel like im back at Android 2.x cuz it takes decades to close all the apps and its getting on my balls!

Another thing i really hate is the less customisable quicksettings bar (the thing you use to turn your wifi/bluetooth/other stuff on and off). I mean ok, wifi, screen lighting and bluetooth is on the top and this cant be changed. I agree with wifi and screen lighting but bluetooth? It just is annoying because a button that i dont use at all is at the top of my device settings. And why not just making it full customisable like in Android 4.4.4 ? Everything was fine!

I understand that trying new things always has a risk and ppl will dislike things and I respect the desicions you make. But those options have not been implemented in the previous android version without a reason! Killing Customisation is always trash!

1. Without auto brightness widget 

2. Without sound shortcut when I press the power button

3. Without "close all" applications

     And the last and most important for me

4. in "Headphones selection menu" The Sony should be made a very very BIG mistake, when I "MH1C" the sound change ok... but when I select another one and then again back in "MH1C" the sound is totaly different... Try it Sony and you understand what I mean.

Hello,

Since last update to lollipop, the "Close All" button on running-apps screen has disappeared. Is it simply a bad design from sony developers? Should we expect to find it again on next firmware updates?

Thanks in advance,

This is the way Google created it so we'll just have to wait and see what comes in the future

Some Xperia Z2 users who got the Lollipop update today reported that the "Close All" button is present. This means that Sony has already considered it and will be added in future releases.

Is there a way to close all apps at once instead of swiping them one by one? And the keyboard buttons are smaller than before, can that be adjusted?
