Pen styles input mode? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been playing around with a pencil and it recognises pretty well - I have searched all around but couldn't find where I can have a pen / styles input mode to be enabled.
I hope there is some tinkering around to be done to enable sen mode inputs - especially for messaging / emails instead of keyboard!

i don't have much to add here - just don't try the pencil thing if you're using a matte screen protector.
(i did the work for you, yes it works, also yes it leaves marks)

i have a clear screen protector - and pencil works fine. all actions work. now just looking to see if there is a way to enable stylus mode to use write mode if possible!

I don't know if it's just my Z2, but when I turned on the glove mode, the screen became so sensitive, that if I hover my finger just above the screen, It'll be registered as a touch input.

same here
I had the same issue, wondering if anyone has figured out the issue yet .

But this is the point of glove mode...
Your finger are between the glove and the phone screen. There's a gap.

screen sensitivity

Hi, thought it was just the go launcher causing this but it looks to be an issue with the phone. Sometimes screen presses don't register, seems a bit random, where pressing harder always work. Seems to me sensitivity has been set a bit to low. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Just you mate, capacitive screens don't respond to harder presses especially since the S2 has a gorilla glass display, what phone are you coming from?
I know that but it really does work better if my press is harder or more defined if you want to put it that way. I come from a HD2, no issues with that, could be a duff screen.
edit: ok there is something wrong here, now it starting bring down the the notifications bar when i click on some icons, odd behaviour.
wonder if its something to do with my phone being set to 190 density, I will have a play
no joy with density change, think my screen is duff.
seems to be a latency issue with the digitiser, if I do a quick touch, say like i am typing it doesnt register at all when I click an icon, if I click and hold an icon for slightly longer (not long enough to bring up the screen edit it options)it is ok, which is why i suggested that pressing harder made it work, its not the pressure its the time my finger is held against the screen, a sensitivity issue, its like the software is being told to ignore light touches.
Typing texts etc is ok, just seems to be an issue on the desktop and drawer when I am selecting icons.

[Q] cant capture screen shot with the palm method on sgs3

hi i have selected the option to take a screen shot from my settings by swiping my palm but it wont capture a screen shot does any one know what i am doing wrong or can help me?
It takes a bit of practice and doesn't always work for me.
Put your palm perpendicular to the screen with your pinkie touching the edge of the left wide side of the screen and slowly slide your hand across. Try it a few times and it'll probably work. If not there's always home + power.

Hi,
it took me also some time to get it. But you have to slightly touch the screen and then go from one side to the other.
Here is a short description and 2 videos of both methods (palm and home/power button):

it dose not want to work for no reason bro.
If you really need to get it done and got adb on your computer you can use this command: /sbin/screenshot /sdcard/pictures/sgs3screenshot.png
Its more of a karate chop, right to left than a palm
It works well for me. Make sure it is enabled in your settings first of all.
The way it works is not by touching the edges of the screen when swiping, it's just by swiping your palm on the screen. It will detect a large mass moving across the screen and capture the image.
Make sure you swipe horizontally in accordance with the device's orientation.

Tap to wake not working - and I know why

I found that a lot of the time, when I take my phone out of my pocket and open the flip cover, double tap to wake doesn't work.
I played around with this a lot and I've figured out that if I wait a few seconds after flipping back the cover, double tap works.
If I leave the phone out on my desk with the flip cover open, double tap always works.
So the problem seems to be that the flip cover of my case is blocking the sensor (proximity?) on the face of the phone. I guess that sensor needs a few seconds of light before it wakes up and recognizes the double tap to wake.
My question is - how can I change this? I'd like the sensor to stay awake all the time so that I can double tap the screen the instant I flip open the flip cover.
Any ideas? This seems like maybe something the xposed framework could do with the right module.
I don't think it relies on light at all.
My phone works with knock code in the dark just fine.
Also, doesn't opening a circle case usually turn the screen on?

I can confirm that covering up the light sensor with your thumb for a few seconds while the screen is off prevents Knock-on from working even after multiple attempts. Mine allowed knock-on to work instantly after removing my thumb. So I'm not sure about the OP's problem.

[Q] How to Stop Accidental Cuff calling/txting

Has anyone else experienced this. If my jacket or shirt cuff gets even a little wet it turns the screen on and starts pressing buttons like crazy. I disabled gestures to try to prevent the screen from turning on but no matter what I do the screen will turn on by swiping. A slightly damp or wet cuff, or accidentally sliding across many other surfaces causes the screen to turn on. Is there a way to disable this? I feel like it is a source of annoyance that my screen is always turning on and off all the time unless i'm wearing a shirt that doesn't touch the screen at all. Super annoying.
This is my only major complaint with the watch thus far. Please help!
Thanks!
Jeremy
It's only 1 button, but I turned off motion and the screen only comes on if I press the button or get a notification
I also have had my motions off

Under Settings -> Motions -> I have both Wake-up gestures & Mute/pause off/deselected.
Of note I have the clock always on (Settings -> Style -> Clocks -> Clock always on) so the watch shows a grayed out simple time clock when screen is off. I just checked to see if the watch face will stay off if I turn off the "always on" and this seems to solve the issue.
However, to be honest I really like having the grayed out time showing because honestly it IS a watch and I want to be able to easily glance down and check the time. I still easily get a days battery out of the watch with the clock showing and I get annoyed if I have to "turn my watch on" every time I want to know the time and lets be honest, the motions thing sucks and I just feel like an idiot shaking my wrist around trying to get the clock to show....
Does anyone know of a work around for this?
Jeremy
Only other option is set the security pin

I totally agree! There should be an option to tick under settings to keep the touchscreen inactive while "Screen Always On" is active.
And it is supper annoying!

[Q] Mate 10 Pro Always on Display & Smart View Flip Case

It seems, that the Always on Display isn't always on, when using the Smart View Flip Case.
When I close the Flipcover, then the displayed time, etc. go off after few seconds.
NFC is on and the smart case option with window is enabled.
Without the case, the always on display is off only, when something hiding the light sensor.
With the smart cover, when the flpcover hides it, the display is off.
Is there any option, that enables the AOD with the flipcase?

I tried
Same for me with the same case
Wow....too bad I didn't see this before ordering my case. Just received it today, and experiencing the same issue. AlwaysOnDisplay is clearly marked as enabled, but the smart cover only displays info for a few seconds and then goes off. Is there not a switch somewhere to make this cover stay on? I don't really care how often I need to recharge the device, so saving battery is not an issue for me. I want to be able to simply glance at the phone's smart cover and quickly see what I need to know without touching the phone. Oddly enough, without the smart cover, the AOD works just fine. Guess the "smart cover" is not too smart after all.
Flip case
I have the same problem. I contacted Huawei who said that their sample didn't have the same issue and the display is always on in the case window. I haven't been able to find a retailer with a Mate 10 Pro to test whether this is a problem with the case or with the phone.
Same issue on the P20 Pro / Smart Cover, have tweeted them but expect little response.
Same Problem with the mate 10 pro
Guys, there is a setting for it disabling screen if put in your pocket. the phone thinks the case is in your pocket. Try turninf off the Touch Disable mode switch located under smart Assistance. that or try the smart cover settings.
