Xperia Mini/pro :: ICS: Unable To Access Settings Menu From Locked Screen
Jun 5, 2012
I see that Android 4.0 has smart lockscreen from which we can access musicplayer and all settings screen.. For me music player is workinG fine. but.. settings tab is not popping out..
I have the Arix 4G running Gingerbread 2.3.4 on AT&T. However, I cannot access the "Settings" menu option on the phone. It is not listed in the "All Apps" list and when on the home screen, pressing the menu button then "Settings" does absolutely nothing. I've factory reset the phone, twice externally.
I can't get any more phone details as the menu is inacessible. how else I can get the settings menu functionality back?
I'm having a problem with my phone security. I unfortunately forgot the required pattern to unlock my phone and now it's isn't recognising my answer to the security code question. Is there any means to restart the phone or get access to phone menu again ??
Somehow i'm not able to access my settings anymore. It gives the following error code (translated from dutch) 'The application 'Settings' (proces com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again'.I haven't downloaded any new apps recently, no new SIM or SD. I've already tried removing battery, SIM card etc. and putting them back in.
I have a Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic. And I have a problem with it. When I tap into "Menu-Settings-Connectivity" and try to exit from there my "Settings" menu locked up. It shows that "Settings" menu always running background. And I can't tap anymore "Settings" menu until restart my phone. How can I resolve this problem?
Recently I try to format my sd card in z2 phone, but I was unable to find format option in storage menu in settings instead of format option i found erase option menu, Is that erase and format is same or erase is just deleting files in sd card or its format the sd card I am using Kitkat 4.4.2 ...
i am using GPRS services for now almost an year and half. i was having windows mobile till 16th Sept'11 on which i was using gprs very happily but on 17th Sept'11, i did purchase Xperia mini from G. V. Puntambekar(Pune based dealer). The phone is now installed OS as Andriod 2.3. Ever since i have purchased the phone i am not able to use GPRS services on it. I did speak to Airtel (my current service provider) and whatever settings they have given but not able to save them on my phone bcoz it asks for MCC and then MNC code. hence after talking to Airtel somehow i got these code. but depite of entering them into the settings along with other settings, i am still not able to use gprs. i was told that once you save the gprs manual settings it creates a profile on phone but it is not saving any profile on my phone. Sony dealer is sayingthat it is a service provider problem and Service provider is saying that we have given you all the settings so it is a phone manufacturer's problem. I am getting penalised in these two contradictory statements. Without GPRS the phone is like any ordinary phone. I feel like cheated even after paying Rs.13000/- and buying Sony's product. Feels like lesson learnt that never buy SONY product again..
My web browser works perfectly fine.But none of the applications that access the internet - such as gmail, facebook, market, etc. work. They show a "connectivity error" kind of message. am led to think whether there is some global setting that these applications use, which doesn't allow them to access the internet settings somehow?I did a factory reset, I also used the Sony Ericsson update service and did an upgrade to Android 2.1...
I am unable to access the special symbols - when I press the symbol key on my phone keypad nothing happens. I've tried software updates and asking my supplier. Do i need to return it to my supplier for them to return to Sony?
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!
I just updated my phone software to new build number 4.0.2.A.0.62 After the update, access to 3G network was loss.Browsing the web and even the Android market becomes impossible.
I am residing in India and recently purchased a new xperia x10 mini pro....I am trying to access internet through GPRS service of the service provider....wifi is working perfectly but everyplace is not under the network.....I have successfully installed and configured the settings of service provider for access of internet through GPRS and able to run a few webpagessuch as google and facebook on the default web browser of the devicehowever, i am not able to connect certain default applications provided in phone such as gmail, gtalk etc.and even opera mini is not responding toany activity happening through the GPRS..to make certain changes with the settings or perhaps set any settings as default settings for access of interneti already have a wifi enabled network at my home but i want to access internet at my workplace too which is far from the city and is not connectedthrough WIFI
After updating my phone to android 2.1,I'm unable to access my gmail and other apps thru. wifi. I have the wifi symbol at the top which clearly shows that the wifi is connected,but when I try to access gmail,android market and other apps.,it gives me message stating "no network connection".
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?
When I make or receive phone calls on my z2 the screen go's black and i am unable to access any function dureing a call until the phone on the other end disconnects.
I got the ICS update on my XMP. But there is one problem which I am facing. In the Settings, if I tap on "Language & input" settings, the phone hangs and nothing appears. And then when I slide out the physical QWERTY keypad, the "Language & input" settings appear in the landscape mode and then again when I slide in the keypad, the screen goes blank and none of the keys on the phone work.
The drag down quick settings menu has disappeared from my Z3. Dragging down from the top with 2 fingers does not bring the menu down. Neither can I use the notifications at the top right to access the menu. However, I get to the sounds setting panel by using the volume button.
I don't have quick access to my camera from the lock screen on my new iphone 4s. When double quick on the home button, I have the symbol for the camera but it does not respond when tapping on it. The camera button has two small bars above and two below, every time I tap on it, the lock screen jumps slightly, but no access. From the lock screen i however have access to my music volume. Is the camera access locked?
I usually charge my phone overnight because the battery goes almost dead by the end of the day. I had connected my phone to the charger and tried to use the touch screen, it didnt work to my surprise. I tried to use the hardware buttons, they seemed to be working but all that in vain because when i tried to switch off the phone, i couldn't...!! Because the final screen to confirm the switch off of the phone is a touch command. This is not expected to happen on a device that i paid so much for...
I think there is some problem with the gravity sensor when connecting to the charger, i have seen this only when i connect my phone for charging and when the phone is in a position where the screen is facing the floor tilted towards the right. I have seen this problem 3 times, and would not like to see it happen again.
I was facing some screen issues with my Xperia x10 mini pro(screen freeze...i had to remove the battery manually, which lead to a phone restart and then the screen worked).But from yesterday, the phone is just not starting up...no Sony Ericson logo...nothing...totally dead?
I am having this problem with my U20i, When i open the slide the screen stops working and there are glitches on the screen and boxes on the screen. And i have to take out the battery and insert again for it to function properly. I am in Pakistan so i cant take it to any Sony franchise.. I got it checked here locally and found out that the slider strip is damaged. Can u tell if its really the strip and if so can u parcel me the strip if i pay for it.
I've a Xperia Z5 with FW final .200 (last one) and I've encountered with a problem with Camera
I've setted fingerprints as lock, with a pin (clearly, for backup).
And it happens that when I need to take a photo rapidly, starting by a black screen (in standby so), through dedicated camera button, I can't modify some settings into Camera, just like modality or resolution or whatever, I can only modifiy Flash or Noflash et similia
I don't understand this choice and I don't respect It too
It's simply crazy to let open camera and we can't modify some settings, just because phone's locked ...
It's better to let modify for taking photos as simplier as possibile, because we can't firstly unlock our phone and then press on our camera button
And I don't think It's for security because I don't think that a thief who moves some settings in Camera can do more damns that He could do
When we go into settings / Apps / then go to ALL Tab
scroll down a little bit and then open one app then if we go back then the list of apps comes from top. We have to scroll down again if we want to go into the same app or other app
And when ever we click on back we have to scroll again and again.

Now this thing is not happened in Xperia ZR & Xperia C3 lollipop update. Watch this video [URL] ....
I'm trying to setup a new exchange email account on an iPhone 4. This is normally pretty straight forward, however, on this particular phone I can't get into the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings. When I go into Settings and click on it, the screen flicks up into the settings for a second and then boots me out of settings and back to the main display
I have tried restarting the phone to no avail and checked to make sure it has the latest software update. Is there anything else I can try before I resort to resetting back to default settings?
I have a Xperia mini and it keeps periodically coming up with a black screen and unable to charge, also the speaker has gone really quiet so i can't hear calls very well.
