Has the 'Close all' apps button gone mission from the Lollipop update?

[mikeyboy80]

Just read that on the Z3 after the lollipop update the close all apps button has vanished? Just wonderd if this is the case cause i liked this option.

Sony brought it back on the update for the Z2, not sure if Z3 updates will include this or not.

I'm using Lollipop right now! CLOSE ALL button is missing very frustrating!! I have Z3 D6653

it's gone, RIP close all button However, people over at XDA have found found a way to add that feature back in, it just requires rooting, which would void warranty :/

Thanks, so I guess I'll get this in the next update?

Very disappointing that [Close all] has been removed in Lollipop. One of my most frequently used buttons.

So will this be broughtback in then in a fix?

Small correction - Root does not void warranty... Unlocking boot loader voids warranty... But rooting by itself does not.

To get root without unlocking boot loader is a bit of a process but it can be done.

I have the close all apps button on my z3c (3 little rectangles below notification) and I updated using the ota.

Yeah this is missing from my latest lollipop version at present - will wait for the update (hopefully soon!)

Lollipop finally came through for my Z3 yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised to find that, like Matthew says above, it does actually include the new 'close all apps' button. What gives? Searching on the webz I can only find people complaining about its omission rather than reporting that their version has it. Is this a Sony customisation? Or one from my service provider?

In other news: loving Lollipop so far.

EDIT I should have searched harder

Article reports the story but my button looks the same as in Mathew's post.

The button you are referring to is the dismiss all notifications button, which is present on all versions of lollipop. The "close all" Apps button was located in the running Apps tray, as shown in the picture it's no longer there, and you have to close each one down individually. Not the biggest deal, just more of a nuisance.

No its there in my z3 but this lollipop upgrade has imcresed the time lapse of charging to hours n hours of my precious time and the phone now starts heating up quickly

I don't know what others are referring to - I can close all my recent apps with one button, thankfully.
