Tap To Wake - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

Does the Xperia 5 have tap-to-wake functionality? This is something that I dearly miss on my current XZ1 Compact.

Yes, and you can turn it on and off like you want. Side-Sense is also nice...

Where is it in settings?
Thanks for your response. I'm seeing conflicting reports about tap to wake being available on the xperia 5. Some people say yes, some say no.
Is it a side-sense feature or is there actually a menu item under something like Settings > Display > Lockscreen?

Little annoyances with WM 6.5

I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.
1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.
2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.
3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.
2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:
Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.
Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:
Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.
3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.
Good luck.
slide to unlock is a good option as well for a screen lock..

I have a shortcut on my home screen for the task manager, but I would still rather have it like it was with 6.1 where you could choose to have the programs close when you press "x".

Thank you. I found the option for "as they arrive". That was driving me crazy.

AWESOME!! Works how I would've expected it to work in the first place. Thank You!
Have you tried changing the settings in start> settings > system > task manager on the buttons tab? That is where I find that "X" to close screen.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. You still have to either remember to close it through the programs menu or through the task manager. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having that problem.
Clock
How do I get the clock to show up all the time in the new ROM? This is very frustrating to have to go to the home screen to see the time. Any one know if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

SK Tools allows you to do this. I think if you open up SK Tools and go to Tune Up! the System Tweaks settings page allows you to change it.
Thanks
Thanks I will try it!

Settings -> All Settings -> Clock & Alarms -> "More" tab -> check "Display the clock on the title bar in all the programs".
Flashing light...
Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!
Thanks!!

Please help about location setting

Hello. I have VEGA IRON A870 use CM12.1 and Xperia M2 use stock 5.1.1.
With A870, when I swipe quick setting and tap the location icon, it show 3 options: high aculary, battery saving, only device.
But with M2, it just location on/off. How can I do the same like A870?
My English is not good, so sorry about that.

You just answered yourself
Because that's a Cyanogen Add-on. AOSP doesn't have that 3 options menu. To do that, tap and hold, and it'll show you all location settings, or just go to Settings -> Location.

Double tap to wake the screen

I have recently brought s7 edge and I am missing the feature of double tap to wake up the screen. I do believe this is a handy setting which removes the use of hard keys like power button and home key. I have also looked into third party apps in playstore but they are quite annoying with different ads and especially draining the battery.
Therefore if any of you have found this feature please let me know and if there is not any such feature would like to request the developer to think on this and build one for next update of nougat for s7 edge

Thank you for the reply. The application is good but it requires AOD to be on and frankly speaking I am not that much big fan of AOD although it is a good feature but it distracts a lot.

New Accessibility button on Android Pie

How many of you have tried out the new accessibility button on android pie? Once enabled, it adds a new button on the navigation bar by using which you can get access to a few shortcuts which are really awesome and much needed (See the screenshot below).
Steps to enable:
Settings>Accessibility>Accessibility menu>Enable "Use Service".
Try it, if you haven't already.
Its awesome

It's possible you might need to disable Magazine screen lock, different settings seem to disappear depending on having others enabled or disabled

On the p30 pro, there are in the menu That you say. On the p30, no
May be custom theme (lock screen style).
Custom lock screen style causes this
Thank you I confirm that was the magazine lock screen and the lock screen personalization.
Solved!
Wish there was an option to only wake up screen for only certain type of notifications.
I could achieve this if I disable notifications completely for those that I don't want screen to wake up for but then I'd lose notifications for those that didn't wake up screen. If you catch my drift.
