Xperia Z2 :: Phone Timer / Countdown Doesn't Ring If Screen Is Off Or Locked
Nov 18, 2014
Start the default clock app.Set the timer/countdown to 5s.Choose a sound for the timer/countdown that has a duration of at least 2s.Start the timer.Press the Power key to turn off the screen or to lock the phone.
Result: After about 5s, the timer alarm sounds for about 0.5s and is mute afterwards. If there's music playing in the background (from the walkman app), you may get just a short 'blank' in the audio stream (also about 0.5s long).
According to the specs of the E72 it should have an countdown timer. cannot find it however, did anyone find it? If it is not present, does someone have a good alternative timer for the E72. And the address where to download.

I've put up with this problem for quite a while, and am starting to really get frustrated with it. There are multiple topics that explain "why" it happens on other Blackberry devices (Storm, 9530)
my timer shows 00:00:00 if I reset it, but if I hit start, it goes to 743:59:59 and begins counting down. If I try to set 1 minute or 5 minutes or whatever I've got the patience to test, it will countdown to 0, then roll immediately to 743:59:59 again. If I add 99:00:00, it shows that on the countdown screen, and then if I try to change the time again it auto-fills with 03:00:00 (it will always use the remainder of the hours I put in next if divided by 24). Another example, if I put 24:00:00, it will add 24 hours to the existing number (now in the hundreds) and the field will fill with all zeroes again. I can only reduce the time shown on the timer by having a remainder and then resetting that to 0. Essentially, I can always get it to show a multiple of 24 hours, but I'm just trying to set laundry reminders, etc...
(v4.6.0.180 Platform 4.1.0.61) I've done a zillion battery pulls since this started and I don't feel like wiping all my apps...
My z3 is abt 6 months old. Recently I locked my phone and tried unlocking it but the screen never turned on though I can see the screen lighting up a bluish colour but the display doesn't appear. I have to switch off the phone for around half an hour and restart for it to work.
I'm experiencing some weird problems on my 5800 xm. When I unlock the phone after it has been locked for a while the touch screen doesn't react at all. But if I lock and unlock again, it starts to work. Not a very big problem but kinda annoying. The other problem is that none of the physical buttons are working, except for the on/off button.
All those problems came at once and from no where. I hadn't installed or updated anything recently when it came. I've tried to update to v.50 and I've tried a "soft reset" but it isn't working. I can't do a hard reset since the buttons used for doing aren't working.
It feels like it's some kind of software problem rather than a hardware problem or what do you think? Anything I can try before going back to the store?
Why is my screen periodically flashing on and off whilst phone is locked? There is no pattern to it and the screen will come on and then go off about 5 times and then stop.
I recently sent in my Z3 to the Sony repair center for some reception issues.  When it came back, My phone is locked with the message on the top left of the screen saying "SIM Is Perso Locked".  I now have to enter a SIM network unlock PIN which I do not have.  I have called Sony and they could not provide a code.  I have received one from my phone carrier (Wind Mobile) but that did not work.Is my phone now locked to Wind Mobile? And how would I receive a proper unlock code?
I was in the wifi manager, intending to search for wifi in the area, when an error message flashed up (I didn't get time to read it all although it said reset? at the end). Then my phone went to a white screen with the timer clock on it and it has been like that since (about 6 hours). I tried taking the battery out, and the battery and the SIM card - leaving both out for 2 hours, but as soon as I put the battery back in the timer clock screen came back.
Screen unlock pattern failed 20 times, phone is now locked pending google username and password, which I have enter hundreds of times with no success, I know the username and password is correct as I can log in via PC and view latest downloads on my phone etc.
Have tried to repair the phone via PC companion, everytime the download begins an error message comes up "unable to start update"
Have been to the optus shop and contacted sony over the phone, being told by optus that my phone is 7 days over its warranty and it will cost me to unlock, Sony helpdesk advised that it was "Easy" to fix and i just needed to repair the phone via PC companion, which clearly is not as easy as stated. I am left without a phone which is badly affecting my work, I have been told it will take at least 2 weeks for the phone to be unlocked if it is done by the provider, google password is not working.
I tap "ok" and the message comes back again. The strange thing is that the message is in spanish (I have my phone in English and that the lockscreen photo has dissapeared and the xperia theme is there now.
It seems like the phone is working ok in the background, but I cannot access the homescreen. Â I can take screenshots, change the volume, etc. and as I could access the phone's internal and sdcard I made all the backups as possible.
I have an iphone that doesn´t ring at all with the phone calls, just vibrates. I have done everything, form checking the soung a million times, to restarted it from itunes,and restarted withot icloud copy, and still doesn´t work. how to reach an apple support? the is no such thing as world warranty if you live in argentina as I do and online this is the only way to write something.
I turn ring volume to maximum but its volume still lower than 70% of my other phone LG. Is it software issue or hardware issue? Moreover, the increasing ringtone seems doesn't work, the volume was in the normal level since beginning.
I recently noticed that my screen doesn't respond to go on landscape mode when I tilt the phone.. Auto-rotate is on, I never experienced this before.. I saw that other ppl also had this problem, some with the update.
I unlocked an LG Xenon and sold on eBay. Today I got a frantic message from the buyer saying, "phone doesn't work, it's in mode of voice ringtone, even the att store couldn't reset it. the phone is defective or locked."
We have the Xperia Ray and it has been working fine for about 6 weeks until the other day when the screen stopped working and we are therefore unable to access the phone. We have tried to repair the software twice and that did not work and obviously we are unable to do the reset as not able to access the phone systems.
Since upgrading to IOS 5.1 when iPhone 4 is locked the camera icon does not open when selected. I have to unlock phone with my passcoded to use the camera. The feature worked with IOS 5.0.
My fingerprint feature was working fine...then suddenly it wasn't. I have the same fingers today that I had yesterday. So I'm then prompted to change my password via gmail. Did that. Didn't work. Tried hundreds of times now and I'm never prompted to try through gmail again. Logged into my Google Device Manager and Sprint told me (via another phone) I should see an option to UNLOCK the device, yet, only the LOCK option appears as if the phone is lost. Tried that new numeric code set using GDM...doesn't work. I refuse to factory reset.
I have had my Bold 9900 for less than 3 months and in the last week I have experienced the following issue: The screen stays lit up constantly, which is making the battery run out very quickly. When I press the lock button the screen turns off for about 5 seconds, then lights up again, and stays lit. I can't see anything in the Options menu that will fix it. As I say, the problem has only been occurring in the last week.
when i'm in a phone call i can't use the mobile phone at all. I mean i get locked in the calling screen and i'm unable to move to desktop, go to drawer menu or just pick some app from recent menu. It didn't happen on other Android phones nor on my old Samsung Galaxy S3.
