Another way to wake a screen

Bio24 — Tue, 27 May 2014 21:09:44 GMT

Hello Sony, i am a new user of Z1 compact.... I would like to give advice, as a user I'm concerned, a method to turn on the screen on a smartphone sony just by pressing the power button, the method is risky to make a power button broken and loose because too often in the press to turn on the screen :smileysad:. Please provide an alternative way to turn on the screen, for example, by touching the screen twice to turn on the screen, which is way more convenient and efficient, and can make the power button to be more durable, because it is not very often used.

Hi Bio24,

You can try Auto Screen On via the app store which uses your proximity sensor or g-sensor and Screen off to limit your use of the power button

I'm using it now and they work fine, have a look 🙂

You can tweak it as you don't want the sensor on all the time to save battery.

Glad it has worked out 😉
