Some devices (like some / most Sony phones) have problems with proximity sensor if the sensor is kept constantly enabled. Typically it gets stuck in some state, which then makes e.g. at-ear blanking during calls misbehave.

As a workaround for these devices utilize “on-demand” proximity sensor mode. Unfortunately this then means that lpm / glance / sneak peek mode does not really work as it requires constantly up to date proximity sensor state.

Now, it looks like C2 too does not like to have its p-sensor constantly powered on, but fortunately C2 also has support for some android wake up / pick up / glance type sensors. One of these can be used for waking up the device to lpm when display is off and proximity sensor disabled.

Basically that devices with on-demand-ps + wakeup-sensor work almost like devices with p-sensor that can be constantly powered on. Most notable difference being: how do you make device that is lying on table show date and time in lpm? By picking the phone in hand, or by waving hand above the sensor area.

Also: in lpm double tap works without touch panel hw / drivers supporting double tap wakeups. So, having phone go to lpm when it is picked up / taken from pocket somewhat remedies lack of real double tap support too.

Note that you also need sensorfw-qt >= 0.15.0 (and depending on device type also hybris-libsensorfw-qt5-hal or hybris-libsensorfw-qt5-binder package).

What I’ve used to enable this on C2 is:

mcetool\
 --set-wakeup-sensor-mode=enabled\
 --set-low-power-mode=enabled\
 --set-ps-on-demand=enable\
 --set-lpmui-triggering=from-pocket,hover-over\
 --set-doubletap-mode=unlock

Thank you for noticing. Fixed now.

Here’s a link to a shopping cart that contains Jolla C2 with a screen protector and a protective sleeve. Price €319 plus shipping including Finland VAT 25.5%, your local VAT is applied at checkout.

It was not possible to order them in one package with the new batch a few hours ago. Could I order silicon and screen protection separately?

yes just remove the other items from the shopping cart that was posted here

oh i replied to early. unfortunately that doesn’t work. it wants a minimum of 1 of every item… if you press the - button, but the trash icon removes it. so yes it works

It seems that it’s not possible to set quantity of C2 to zero.

yes i thought so too, but the trash icon does the trick

So there is hope for the C2 to have a at least somewhat reliable double tap wakeup implemented? This would be great add on for the device!

Out of curiosity, is this a batch of 1000 devices?
And possibly a third batch coming up later this year?

@eson The new batch of Jolla C2 has the same hardware configuration as the first one.

There’s a Mind2 update in Discord. I recommend to follow that as well.

i have also ordered a C2 in the Jolla Shop of my Jolla Browser without the option to order every three articles ( C2 + Screen protector + Protection case) in a bundle. And now i saw the option to order all in a bundle, but if i make this purchase i would pay the shipment costs twice, one time for the device and the second time for the protective things!
my question is: would it be possible to put the screen protector and case within the package of my ordered Phone? How can that be managed?

I’ll send a private message to you.

I did not order the protection case in the first batch because I had ordered a flip cover to use during the winter months in my jacket pocket. However, for spring and summer, when a jacket is no longer needed, this flip cover might be too big for my pants pocket. It would be nice if we could additionally order this transparent protection case. I did not find a seller in Germany who offers it.

You could also send it as a letter if that is possible and if the shipping costs from Finland are otherwise too high; I can take on that risk.

Another idea is to provide a 3D print of the case; 3D printers are available here.
