“Glove Mode” – a sweet feature in the software upgrade for Xperia sola (known as Xperia sole in some markets). It’s an extension of our “floating touch” technology that makes it possible to use your Xperia sola in the cold whilst wearing gloves… just in time for the winter months. My colleagues at Developer World have taken a closer look – head on over to check it out!

Thanks.
I read the article. It says the glove mode auto switch off if you wake up the screen without gloves. But it seems to me that right now the glove mode is always on or off depending uniquely on the display settings i choose.
Moreover i think it s draining battery very fast. Someone can confirm?

I'll escalate this, but it should drain battery a bit more than standard mode.

Thanks. Do you think it s possible to have a sort of toggle on the home screen to switch it on/off just with one click?
