Hey guys!
As many of you might also know, Nokia has recently unveiled its new flagship - the N9 with MeeGo.
I thought there are two interesting things maybe also to have for Android:
1st the tiny clock when the phone is locked
2nd the gesture to wake the phone by tapping the screen twice
Luckily I already found a solution for my first question, an app called Off Clock. But still I am not 100% satisfied with it, as it merely is an app running rather than even running after the lock screen switched off. And also the clock is a little too big for me, but not such a big point... Maybe someone has a solution for that or can refer to another application?
For the 2 tap functionality I haven't found anything yet but i also think it is quite interesting. It should just work like this: In sleep mode double tap the screen and it wakes up and unveiles the lockscreen.
In an recent article from Engadget named "Nokia N9 first hands-on! (update: video)" in the hands on video you should find both things described above. (cannot yet post links...)
Thanks is advance!

Does really nobody have an idea for the doubletap wakeup thing?
It would be highly appreciated!
some what like it
its called tap tap app. u tap your proximity sensor but its close. its an attempt lol
Is there an app/code/apk that can disable touch input in a specific area of the screen on my unrooted Huawei Y6 Pro? I would really like an answer as soon as possible.
Also, if it helps, this is a physical error in the screen and it phantom touches in one particular area very time, so please don't suggest some sort of software fix. What I'm actually looking for is to someone suggest an app like Tasker to set a little dead zone where the phantom touch is.
So, in a nutshell, I want to disable a part of my touchscreen, not using rooted methods, so that every time I touch that area on my phone it does not respond and doesn't receive it as a touch.
Thanks for the help.
Got something
Hey bro,
You got something about your problem!!
Install partial screen app from playstore
Can anyone help.
I can't find the option to enable the double tap to wake the screen on my Xz Premium.
It's on my wife's Xz.
Thanks

Yeah, seems like Sony has removed that feature on XZs and XZ Premium
I hope they add it back. I wonder if it's something to do with the 4k screen? Does anyone know if it's on the z5 premium?

Hello dvdman2k,
Yes the double tap to wake is on the Z5P; however I found it something of a mixed blessing as was inclined to wake from unintentional screen touches while in a pocket (in the Style Cover SCR46 with the active window). Having just migrated to the XZP I'd noticed the feature's absence, but almost with some relief !
Regards,
Kevin
PS. Having now used the device for a week or so, I've changed my opinion. There are some occasions when the Double Tap function would be very good to have. Others when I'd prefer it turned off (eg. to prevent inadvertent activation while in a jacket pocket). So my conclusion is that I'd like to see the functionality re-instated in the ROM , but with a user-controlled toggle in Settings so that it is flexible to suit requirements.

Hi kevinpwhite
Coming from Moto Z I liked the feature where you could wave hand over the display and it would wake up & the finger. Print reader is on the front of the phone.
Sometimes I want to wake the screen without pressing the power Button.
Thanks

I have double tap to lock using Nova Prime as my launcher. I don't use double tap to wake even when available because too often the screen starts up when the phone is in your pocket. However, I do wish that the fingerprint reader would unlock the phone WITHOUT having to actually press the button in just like most fingerprint readers work. Maybe they could make it work this way? In fact I am sure they could because when you are setting up your various fingers for access you do not have to push the button in. In fact if you accidentally do push it in while registering your prints it will close the screen and you have to start all over. SO I believe they could make it live/active just like any other fingerprint reader. How do we actually get these requests to Sony directly? I also wish they would unlink the ringtone volume from the notification volume.
Things might change in the next update.

I miss double tap to wake/sleep

This is a mandatory feature for me. I won't buy a phone without it. In fact, I pretty much need to have lift-to-wake and/or some kind of always-on-display. Pushing a power button to turn on your phone is so 2015.

Per my earlier comments, I was initially slightly relieved after the Z5P's tendency to turn on when not wanted; however, have now revised my opinion and think it would be very useful - but needs a user-selectable toggle to suit circumstances. This approach has been mooted to the Developers on the Sony Forum (they've acknowledged) and there is quite a strong voice of similar views from other users. The more strength of feeling, the more likely the feature will be re-instated in a F/W update.... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Kevin
if it really bothers you, you can just buy a roxfit urban slim case for it like i have. After using a xiaomi mi5 with tap to wake , its hard going back to the old ways lol, plus less pressing on physical buttons, the longer the hardware lasts!
please bring back
Try this to wake: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.waveup&hl=en
Install Nova Prime for double tap to lock.
Works great. There are other apps that do similar things in the play store. YMMV
You can always buy the official case that has a screen unlock feature. Because of it I no longer see the need of double tap to wake but it would be handy to have. I am annoyed this feature is excluded though.
Any suggestion for a simple app to do the double tap wake/lock?
Ive been using https://kernel.andro.plus/yoshino.html for DTW
Of course you need a Unlocked Bootloader
Now I'm using WaveUp, it's not like the double tap but works well for both locking and unlocking. And it has a "pocket mode" for unlock the display when you take it out from your pocket, very useful.
Hi, I've an s6 edge with ultimate nougat rom s8+, but no matter what rom I've, because in each rom, even stock, fingerprint doesn't work from 6/ 7 mouth. when I noticed that I had no fingerprint setted, so I don't know which is the cause. the bad thing is that I can't set any kind of lockscreen because when I try to set a new one, setting app crash. Is possible that a bad fingerprint does all these things? I tried the secret test menu (*#0*#) and according this menu the fingerprint works and pass all the test stages. If i try to make the test with the finger on the sensor, the test fails, so I now that put the finger on the sensor does make something. If it can help, I changed the battery with a genuine one, and also the usb/jack board (genuine too). Please help me!
thank you
Hello there,
So my Xperia 5 lately has fingerprint scanner issue that won't respond to my fingerprints (on fingerprint sensor test it says 'Sensor Not OK'). This issue can be solved by restarting the phone (it's simple tips but take a lot of time for me). Does anyone know how to fix/reboot the fingerprint service on system without restarting the phone? Thanks
Regards
I had same issue. But after couple weeks with this problem my fingerprint scanner broke permanently. I dont think there is a solution for that. Tried to ask in many places.

Does the Fingerprint Manager menu disappear from the setting? If not, your fingerprint scanner still has a chance to work again. Try to restart the device again after several weeks.

Thx for Your advice but it is not true. Sony had problem with fingerprint sensor in Xperia 5 MK1
Xperia 5 Fingerprint Manager missing from settings
Hi Recently I've encountered problems with my fingerprint manager. Since the update it has completely gone from my settings menu on my Xperia 5. I spoke to someone from the team and they suggested backing up my phone and software repairing my phone. This didn't help one bit. And also erased...
