The lock button randomly gets stuck on my phone and sometimes just doesn't work. The button feels fine physically, but it just doesn't work. Any suggestions other than sending it back to Samsung?
Thanks for any help.

Just to clarify, the button is not physically stuck in place right?

If I had this problem, I would probably take apart the back half off the phone. I'd then check to see if I can re-seat the button properly. It's not too difficult to take it apart.

The button is seated properly. It still works physically as it should and it doesn't get physically stuck.

Ah ok just realized my mistake before you replied.
There is an app called Button Savior you could use.
if your power button is messed up. and you didnt do it. Of course warranty that thing.
I guess my best bet is to suck it up and send it in for warranty repair. I just don't want to be phoneless.
Having a broken phone. Not having a phone for a few days. Hmm....

There are programs you can use that allow you to turn your phone off and on by a quick shake, proximity sensor, etc..

Hi to everybody,
Two months after to buy my Z2, I made the mistake to put my phone on my legs and it fell. Result: my screen has crashed
I sent it to repair and the technical support changed my screen,
All is now working fine, less the "double tap to wake" option.
I installed the last update to know if i could fixed it, but it still no working.
Any one know if is the double tap managed by hardware? (the screen maybe?)
Thank you so much!!
Ps: Sorry for my english
This feature has never really worked relatively well for me anyway
While sometimes it works other times I find myself tapping the screen repeatedly with no effect
Not sure about your issue as if the touch screen is working then I can't see any reason why the touch shouldn't work as well as it did previously unless it's a cheap replacement not an OEM

I sent my phone to official technical support in Portugal, so in theory the screen is OEM
Thanks for answer

Might sound like a stupid question but have u enabled the double tap to wake in the settings?
Is not a stupid question, but yes, I have the option enabled

Have you tried doing a factory reset? Maybe it will help. This function is kernel related so it should work, unless the screen is not like the original one. Just saying.
No I didn't.. I only installed the last update by Flashtools

I was wondering, does the glove mode work? Does it show a purple circle when your finger is close to the screen?

I would try this as suggested and this will give you a somewhat measurement of the sensitivity of the screen

Well that means your screen should be okay. I tried tap waking my Z2 and it responded every single time, with really fast taps and slow taps, so something is definitely wrong with yours. Problem is I can`t tell what...
Well.. I hope that with Lollipop it will be solve..
Tip with this matter, you have to "knock" on the exactly the same spot both times. Then it works much better.
No way [emoji17]..
I tapped for 10 times consecutively but nothing...
those who have there z2 lollipop please go to service menu *#*#7378423#*#* and just move ur phone up and down i mean in angle and tell me is there any design pattern comming there? i have glitters on my screen please help @luutinhit.1412 @gihan798114
any1?
Nope. Nothing's happening. I can shake, lift up, etc my phone and nothing happens. No movement affects it.

I don't have Z2, my phone is Z Ultra. So, i don't have problem the same. So sorry
But, I think you can report to Sony support

How can dead pixels not visible on homescreen or others in camera app...
Lso its like glitters which spans the screen if we move up or down screen
I get it too, I know what you're on about. I think it's normal.

you might be talking about the screen itself. Its not a issue. Its the screen it self. nothing to worry about as its with every sony phones. I had a Xperia Mini Pro and the glitterish screen was there. its more visible if you lock the screen and turn the display on a light source like the sun

Hey, got the same and it is most frustrating thing. My sensor went down i checked with testing apps. Phone laying down on table and goes on and off every dozens seconda. Drain batyery faster than normal. Get rid off that. I realy want to sell this phone out.
Plus calling screen off and double tap isse makes the phone worst and worst.
Any help?
After few days the problem automatically solved, nothing done . Sometimes the double tap to wake will not work at that time a reboot will do . now its working flawlessly

Try this: Go to "About phone" and make sure that the advanced mode" is enabled, then go to the "Display and light" and enable "Prevent accidental wake up" . Hope it works.
Got it

I'm using a flip cover. the device doesnt wake up by opening the flipcover. Is there a possibility to test the sensor?

I have the same problem and it has nothing to with the flip cover, it's a software problem in the Cyanogen OS. Try to force restart you phone by pressing the power key for 10 seconds to use the device normally, then head to the settings and disable "Double tap to sleep" option in the Display settings.
thank you, but same problem...
I'm running cyanogenmod 12.1, not cyanogenOS!
Doesn't matter, I'm running Cyanogen OS 12.1 on my ZUK Z1 and my friend is running CM 12.1 on his OnePlus 1 and we both have the same problem

I've read that maybe a display cover (film) is the reason. That the film is up to the proximity sensor. But I can't image...
Are you using a display film?

Hi guys,
I found something new or May be I am the only one who didn't knew but here it goes.
When the screen is off and I put pressure with my thumb on lower part of the screen, just above the charging port, the phone vibrates and turns on the screen.
Please let me know if you guys also have the same thing?
I have N950F/DS

Yep. It's in the security settings. You can turn it off if you want to. You can change the pressure sensitivity, as well.
