Hey all!
I've been rooting away lately and came across this app, Pimp My Z1, with built in "glove mode" enabler. However, whatever I do this does not seem to work. The other Pen Mode toggle works perfectly though. I've seen that the Z1 Compact has a toggle in Display Settings but the Z1 doesn't - not even after enabling in the app. On the Compact I noticed some hover functionality that was already hard to reproduce in the time I held the device. But I cannot seem to make any glove functionality work on the Z1! :[
Do you know more about this Glove Mode? Please do share all of your knowledge.
P.S. I had seen an XDA thread for the Xperia SP which supposedly also has Glove Mode, and it would be enabled by unlocking the phone through gloves. But this doesn't work either on the Z1 (believe me, I have tried)
i also got this problems same as you

To be honest, I don't even think Glove Mode works on the Xperia Z1 then.
I've tried everything...
I think it's placebo effect....
Z1 had this mode in settings on 4.2 or 4.3 android, i cant remember, but since 4.4.4 its disabled and deleted from settings. dont know why.

I've never seen it in the Xperia Z1, and internet doesn't know about it either.
You sure you're not confused with the Z1 Compact? Because that phone does have Glove Mode (surprisingly).
P.S. once Glove Mode is activated, you will notice because large white circle surrounding the touches will appear. At least that's how it works on the Z1 Compact, so no placebo effects of thinking the display might be a little bit more sensitive. If it's activated, believe me, you'll notice...

You may have to send it back for repair.

Is there an app that can calibrate the xperia Z1 touchscreen since it's really like HELL! this issue is not addressed in the Sony Forums and many people from there have turned a blind eye on this pressing issue.
My concern is that is there a third party app that can calibrate our Z1 touch screen? Much like with xperia tipo, I have stumbled upon that thread and tried installing the TouchFW apk something like that but failed to do so since my phone says app not installed.
Most people with xperia Tipo have the same problem the same as the z1 touch screen problem that fails to register touch and with that screen calibration app their problem was solved.
I really hope that people here might have a solution for this one since it can really help a lot of z1 owners out there.
Thank you very much.

Still got no reply from this thread....
The touchscreen issue was happening in my phone after playing Nova 3 for a while. After some days I found out that, just wiping the screen with a clean cloth solves the problem. I used to pause the game, just a single wipe on the screen with a cloth will do it just fine.

You saying this all over XDA but actually this is not a solution for a touch screen issue.

Well, as I had this problem so I followed most of the touch screen issue related thread. This might not be a permanent fix for that but it works!
Firstly, I'm an android newbie. So please be patient with me. I've been a longstanding fan of those fruity handsets. But I've seen the light.
Talking about and more importantly power I seem to have lost the notification on my compact z3. It's the feature that tells how long you have until you reach 100% charge. I found these really helpful. I'd like it back. But I'll be damned if I can find the feature to switch it on.
Can you help?
Thanks.
I'm not aware of anything like it built into Sony bundles - looks like an external app from Play Store. So it doesn't seem to me like a feature to switch on in the ROM, but an app to find.

Mine tells me on the lock screen, however, I do not think you can turn it on or off.

I think it's a new feature in 5.0 but since I'm still running 4.4.4 I can't offer any advice.

I'm running Lollipop, don't see anything like it. But I have STAMINA off.
Good day.
I'm an Xperia XZ1 Compact owner and have been trying some Xperia XZ2 Compact apps.
Found an app called 'pocket mode', that i would like to try, but i don't know if it works in my phome.
I have been searching in google any info about it, but found nothing. Has any Xperia XZ2 owner tried that?
Could you give me a simple description how it works?
Thank you.

try this
Pocket mode disables the touch screen when the screen is off. I have run it since the beginning and it works well. No apps running unintentionally when I have has it in my pocket, unlike some other devices I have owned.
Really missing this feature from my old Z3 Compact. Anyone know if its possible to get these feature back via custom roms? Or is it hardware dependant?

It's not that Sony have forgotten to add the software to this model, it's a hardware issue. The screen is different on the XZ series and doesn't remain live while the phone is sleeping.
Even if you tweek the kernel, the screen won't respond until it's live (on).
WaveUp works well and has had some positive reviews from XDA members.
