Hi,
I just upgraded from the x10 mini pro to the latest mini pro. One thing that's bothering me is how on the first screen (with the unlock slider) it shows notifications for missed calls and text messages. I use apps other than the original ones to deal with these functions but even if I have read a message in Handcent or looked at the missed call in Dialer One the only way to make the notification disappear is to go into the original application and view the message or call. Is there any way to change this behavior?
My x10 mini pro never had this issue. If I read the text in handcent then the notification would go away.
Another thing that's bothering me is the small size of the clock on the home screen. I like the size and style of the digital clock on my old mini pro which btw is the same as the clock on the start screen (the one with the security slider). Any way to get this one on the home screen.
Thanks in advance, everyone.
same here
after upgrading to 2.3.4,
facebook notifications wont go even i have read it already.
sometimes missed calls for days ago appears there even i have read it.
It however vanishes itself suddenly which i done nothing on it.
seems to be a stinky bug on this version
I don't like the digital clock widget of xperia mini either. That's why I use the one from my old xperia x8, which looks the same as the digital clock widget of the x10 mini. Here's the link:

Thanks, that clock was just what I was looking for.

I'm running stock OTA GB update with no mods, unrooted. It seems as though ADW is having some glitches with my quick contacts. I have 8 of them set up on a homescreen in their smallest form 1x1. Sometimes when I run an app or the phone goes to sleep, when I look at the screen again the contacts icons are slightly enlarged with a grey bar along the bottom with two dark grey thumbnail like buttons. When I press the contact, instead of quick dialing like I have them set for, it brings up the contact menu for text, email, or call. Anyone having this issue or know what the cause may be? Any help appreciated.
yea thats why i uninstalled it for me its launcher pro much smoother and lightweight

I installed cm7 and it has it's own quick contact widget that is great, as a matter of fact, most of the glitches that I experienced in GB were fixed with cm7.
Is it possible to edit the call screens that show for outing, incoming and during calls?
I've increased the virtual DPI so everything appears bigger on the screen (much easier to read small text). But now all the elements that make up the call screen overlap one another. So I need to resize and move some of them so it looks decent.

Is it possible to have notifications pop up on the lock screen? I'm thinking specifically of text messages here, as the phone makes a sound but doesn't really give any visual indication apart from a tiny LED blinking away.
Can it be done on the standard UI or do I need to install something else? Sorry for the noobish question, this is my second day using an Android phone
I think you mean like the iPhone does? Because I was just looking into that, but haven't found if a launcher or SMS app. Any help greatly appreciated.
Pretty much like the iPhone does yeah. That's the one drawback I've found so far moving over from iOS
Widgetzoid.....
Ive been using Handcent SMS and it has a feature similar to what you are asking for. Under the applications menu go to Notification Settings, Popup Settings and uncheck Privacy Mode. It works on the Motorola Droid and HTC Sensation.
Check out GO SMS Pro. It's a free messaging app that is skinnable with a theme that looks almost exactly like the iPhone. It also has popup notifications when you have a text, and can even turn your screen on when receiving messages.
Hi
I have just restored my xperia mini pro to default (running .62) and have encountered a problem.
Before resetting I had a different notification sound for email(general notifications) and text message but now the have the same sound and I can only find one place to set it in setting.
Anyone know how to get different sounds?

I'd like to know this too but am running miniCM7
Try GO SMS Pro (Advanced settings)
An easy way to bypass this inconvenience is to use GO SMS Pro as your default SMS app. In Settings->Advanced->Notification Settings->Default Notification Settings->Select ringtone: you can select another sound for SMS notification and keep your default only for email notifications.
Morning all
Is there a way to get notification previews on the lock screen on the Z2? (Pop up box in center screen a la ios)
Have had a quick search on here and couldn't find any info, also been through a load of settings etc but havent stumbled across it.
I assumed it would be an option, without having to download another app.
Any help appreciated!

You'll have to wait for Android L or use an app like Knock².

Edit: Turns out the feature you want is not yet released in Knock, and will only be available in a later version. Sorry bout that.

This is a response on another forum I did but it suits this situation so it's just a copy and past. Wasn't sure if you meant a response to sms or just notifications but both are covered.
You have 2 options really. I just am using them both as had enough of the standard text app telling me I had a message after I read it in the notification bar (there is a easier way but I liked all programs so kept using them). There are other apps but I use Chomp SMS to replace the standard messaging app. This will give you the option of reply bubble without going into the messaging app like Iphone.

Other options are Textra, GoSMS, Handcent...
But I have taken it on set further and use Nils which without the quick reply of Chomp SMS to give me the listed messages on the lockscreen as a widget. You can then just go straight to the message app from the lockscreen to answer if you hold and swipe.

This will become redundant once we get 4.4.4 where it become standard in android.
If you just looking after preview you could go one or the other without getting both. I liked ChompSMS so matched it with nils. Also can use Icon Changer if you dont like the Icon for Chomp SMS which I will probably do.
All programs are free and available from the Play store. And you keep the original lock screen as I like the unlock method as well.
Thank you for your reply.
I'll check these out for sure.
Its funny, having been ios for 5 years, there are little things I miss.
What I don't miss is the godawful piece of trash known as 'iTunes'!!
(My main reason for ditching my iPhone, the other being I love my Nexus 7 and my little Nook HD)
Also just read up on Android L, lets hope the update rolls out to us Z2 users swiftly!
Thanks Again

You can enable the Android L feature already if you are rooted.
I have it and it's brilliant. Root the phone, install Xposed, install Heads Up Notifications, and voila.
I also have Light Flow installed (this doesn't require root). This basically turns on your phone's screen when you receive a notification (you can customise it to decide which notifications you want). It used to really annoy me how the Z2 didn't turn on when a notification was received.
Now, thanks to xposed, Heads Up Notifications and Light Flow (lite), I have the perfect setup.
Have a question hope you can help. I was getting weird text from a random number the other day so I blocked it. But in doing so I block all my messages notification so it does not tell me when I have a message. I've been trying to undo it but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Thank you
