Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: Skip Songs While Screen Is Lock?
Jul 29, 2011
I would like to know if there is any way to skip the song, while the phone screen is locked? I dont want to take out my phone from my jacket and unlock the screen just to skip a song (or repeat the one I just listen). In other phones I could skip or repeat songs by simply holding the volume up and volumen down keys. Is there is a way this feature can be enable on the Xperia X10 Mini Pro?
In ics 4.0.4 I have lock with pattern and active desk dock. When I have mail or other with notication message in notification bar I can tap over message. After that i see message and I get control on phone without know security pattern.
Are there no camera controls on the Mini Pro lock screen in 4.0.4? I can't find it and don't see any options for it. Other Xperias in the first batch of updates got it....
I've just updated my phone - full of anticipation - to ICS.But unfortunately there are two really major problems with the upgrade.The lock screen notifications are gone!!! This was the SO convenient in GB ...The led notification doesn't work when the screen is off (for sms).
Every since I upgraded my Droid RAZR MAXX to ICS I've been having a problem playing music that is saved on my 32-Gig SD card. Prior to the upgrade I didn't have the problem. 8 out of 10 songs will skip for 2 seconds after playing for 10 seconds. The 10 seconds is consistent, but as I said 8 out of 10 songs will skip.
When the skipping occurs the device is totally unresponsive; screen and buttons (including power). After the skipping the song will play without any problems. It doesn't appear to be song specific as I've had the same song skip and then not skip. I'm using Verizon's My Music, but the same thing happens with Play Music and PowerAmp. I even fiddled with PowerAmp settings to have a large buffer and increased the priority without any change in the skipping.
Is there any way or any app to "unlock" the phone using touchscreen only. i dont want to use the key lock button which is at the top of phone to lock the phone. i found one app in the market to lock the phone using touch screen.
i can't access the notification bar in the lock screen ,as it is instructed in the video (the one on the ics sonyericsson page) ,i can only pause and play songs in the lock screen ,is it because i am using the face unlock feature?
I just updated my x10 mini pro as recommended. This changed the lock screen from my preferred button-press unlock to a swipe-unlock which I'd prefer not to have to do. Considering the update description did not notify me of this change, how can I revert the lock screen style back to the old format?
why my phones slide unlock thing aint there anymore.when i have my phone in my pocket its not locked and i end up doing things without realising it.usually you push the button then slide the bar across to unlock it. im confused. also this phone is trippy as **** ie: restarting on its own,freezing and crashing etc.
On older version of SK17i firmware - there was a nice screen lock effect (like on old analog TVs).It is gone after updating to the newest version of firmware (4.0.2.A.0.62). how to re-enable it?
I am starting to get really annoyed with my phone, when I make voice calls I'm not able to lock the screen so that the touch screen is disabled?? and in doing so I either end up putting the call on mute, hold or even hang up!I have tried all I can think of, I have just updated my phone to the latest software 5 days ago and seemed ok for 2/3 days but now the darn bug is back. Is this a downside to the phone or am I doing something wrong?
i have a xperia mini pro. I want to know how can i lock the screen when the call is recieved on my handsfree. Its really annoying that every time my cell rings i have to pick it up from my pocket even if i have connected my hands-free to it, else i either drop the call or am put on mute since the on screen button get activated.
Before i was using K790i phone in that phone this feature was good Changing the songs in the volume key but know i am using xperia x10 mini there is no such kind of feature.
I updated my phone to lollipop 5.0, it is in general good till now, but i have two problems:
1) no notifications are displayed on my lock screen even for missed calls or sms's .. there is no any icon or symbol that informs me if i have missed any call or received a message ; and i have to unlock my phone every time to check
in the Settings -> Sounds and Notifications -> i selected the option to show all the notifications.. but nothing changed
2) also on the lock screen , not widget for the walkman or the sound cloud to enable me to pause the players or to navigate to the next song
in my brand new xperia mini i'm just not able to get a GPS lock. tried 7 times. it always says ur location currently unavialable. other android phones in my family are able to get it.
I had been updated my x10 mini from from android 1.6 to android 2.1 and it was working well from one day I discovered that that I can't make lock to my device(even by fast click on power button or after time out),although lock was working well after update did I do some thing wrong on device setting?is that some thing reldated to the update?
I need to check the SIM lock status on my phone, but I'm having problems. When I try to do this I ensure the phone's keyboard is locked i.e. the screen is lit and the slider with a lock on the left and the speaker on the right is on. I have wallpaper on the home screen and the clock is displayed. I have tried this with the screen unlit, I have tried this in safe mode, I have tried this with the old sim in, with the new sim in, I have tried this in safe mode - everything. If the power lock button is touched it locks and the screen darkens, hit it again the screen lights no problem. However it does power down again very quickly if no buttons are touched tried to set this for the longest time possible - makes no difference. At present I'm running Android 2.1. which I upgraded to last month.
We have 3 Ray phones in our family. I have upgraded my to ICS, but the other two still have the original android OS - GB. Problems that we experience on all three phones are as follows; If I look at the video file and turn the phone 90 degrees (it does not matter if I turn it left or right), then screen lock lock the screen immediately. I can not unlock the phone as long as the phone is in the same position. I have to turn it back 90 degrees for it to go to unlock it. The same happens even if I want to play games and have to turn my phone 90 degrees, or if I want to photograph or record a film. If I do not turn my phone 90 degrees, then everything works as it should, but it is supposed to be able to rotate the phone, depending on what you do without screen lock locks my phone immediately?
With the old 1.6 software on my X10, the lack of an automatic screen lock when in an active call was mildly annoying, as not all areas of the screen were active. However, with the new 2.1, just about anywhere on the screen becomes active (especially when juggling two simultaneous calls).What are the chances that we'll see a 'lock screen' function for phone calls?
everytime when you press home button to activate the phone, you need to drag the lock icon at bottom to right hand side in order to operate the phone function, pls advise how to elimenate this process? can just press home button & go straight to choose call phone or write message or music
when I got the first lollipop Update I had an option to disable the lock screen completely on my z3 compact, ever since this recent update to fix the bugs in lollipops it only gives me the option to set a slide lock screen or PIN or password but not completely disable it so if I try to use any third party lock screen I have to first unlock the Sony one before it will go to that one.
my other issue is with the throw, screen mirroring s only once since I've had this phone have I been able to scan and have devices come up I have a smart TV and that came up but everytime I try to do it now it just says no devices found every single time
My Ray's screen can't be turned on after every screen lock event. Any solution for this? I have reinstall my entire phone through SEUS and the same error is still occuring. Is is firmware problem or hardware problem. I can't believe this is happening as i always keep my phone under good condition and its just 4 months old. Dissapointing purchase.
p.s. The screen can be turned on if u keep trying to press the home button. Usually 8-15 minutes after the phone screen is locked. Face palm much.Is there any temporary solution because i urgently need to use my phone!
I've recently made the switch back to android from an iPhone after quite a few years and I'm trying to re-familiarize myself with android's operating system and work out what I need to change and using this phone I noticed the notifications lacking, so I set up DashClock and DashNotifier and so far I love it. It does exactly what I want it to do for all the apps I have set up with it except for the notifications coming through the 'Messages' app on the phone for text messages.
When receiving a text message my lock screen ignores that I've set up DashClock as my default lock screen and pulls up the original lock screen with the quite ugly 'New Message' notification (as seen in the attached picture). If I scroll to the right DashClock is open and showing the message notification just fine. I've tried to disable the lock screen notifications for the 'Messages' app but haven't been successful in removing it. Is there a way to just have the 'Messages' app give lock screen notifications on the top bar and none like in the image below, or is there a work around within DashClock/DashNotifier or some other application that would fix this? My phone is running Android 4.4.2.
I'm pulling my hair out every time I use this phone. I have heard you can adjust the touch screen to make it less sensitive, but I've got no idea how to do it!
