Taking a screenshot - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since updating to marshmallow when I take a screenshot the onscreen buttons etc stay on the display when screenshot is taken. Is there a way of disabling this from happening?

You mean the navigation buttons? Did that not always happen?

Problem with notification bar after 4.2.2 update

Hi Everyone,
I recently update my sony xperia L to 4.2.2 via pc companion.
After the 4.2 update, when I try to pull down the notification bar with two fingers to display an extended notification icons similar to the one in xperia C and M. The extended notification s aren't displayed. And the pulling down of the notification bar stops working further after that and I have to restart the phone to make the pull down notification to work again.
have any of you encountered the same problem after the 4.2.2 update? pls respond.....
Didn't know about that on xperias C and M, just tried on my L and all that you say happened to me.
The notification bar fails to work??

Atleast it works for you 3 or 4 times.. If I try to use the notification bar in two finger gesture the notification bar stops working.. I haven't seen the extended notification bar in my phone after the 4.2 update
Sent from my C2104 using xda app-developers app
If I pull the notification bar with two fingers, it behaves the same way as it would if I had pulled with one finger. i.e. I don't get a quick settings tab at all. No freezing or anything like that
Please look at my post above
It works man if it didn't. Then pm me and thank me if u like

Need help with my Smartwatch 2!

Hi, everyone. I'm new here. Hope someone answers my question.
I have a brand new Sony SW2 and I tried to connect ti with my Xperia ZL, the problem is that my watch gets stuck in the sony logo, it doesn't do anything else. I made a chat with sony support and they told me to update the software, and that's what I did. I updated it but it still gets stuck in the sony logo, but now with the legend: .3 25 11 in the upper left corner in the screen. I havenĀ“t accessed to the menus since I bought it. Can someone help with this? Thanks
Oh and BTW, I have the smart connection installed in my Xperia ZL and the smartwatch plugin too.
Restart both(device+SW2). If not reinstall again apps.

Setup the updatesoftware ready to flash. Turn the watch off or just quickly connect it when starting. Directly after its on press and hold the power button for a sec. It wil start flashing.

Try Nova Launcher Prime which has gestures to have this kind of customization. Using recent button as menu button can be done with Xposed. Stock launcher doesn't have any options to customize.
Pretty sure PAC ROM has an option for this

i see, you can also remap keys on stock with the gravitybox xposed module, just open the gravitybox app and go to navigation key actions

Nope pretty sure it doesn't have it I ain't seen it in the settings and its a kernel related issue I think anyway. If you use the latest beta version of the xperia launcher it has the dtts option

One day max here - between 5 or 7 hours when screen is up, and using Stamina mode , - 4g,bluethooth and gps. And apps usage - 6 % for ~16 hrs.
I hope a developer will pop out to enable this feature

Quick screenshot?

FWIW the only way I am able to take a quick screenshot in certain apps (eg Camera) if I have the screenshot button added to my primary nav bar... is there any way to use the Power + Down combo, like on any Android phone, without triggering a creen shutoff (ie Power click takes precedence)? Also for the latter one has to really do gymnastics as this requires the squeeze-push which is not something you can do with two fingers, you have the get a grip on the slab...
For now using two buttons for screenshot is not working, that's why you have to use the button on navbar. They are working on it, that both buttons work together.
But you can also map the edge sense to make a screenshot of long or short squeeze

You can also add this button to your secondary navbar, and swype between those in every App.
