can't help with contacts showing up as unknown. I'm having a different problem. My contacts default to using gmail profile images instead of Facebook profile picks when I join contacts.
As for your lockscreen question, if you want total control I recommend widget locker. If all you want to do is change the wall paper, you can do that in setting>display>screen display. There is an option in there for lock screen wallpaper, as well as options for lock screen clock an weather.

unkown
I imported contact they will show up and then change to unknown

You shouldn't have to import. Just signing into your Gmail/Market account should populate them(if you have them saved to Gmail). Also, go into contacts, hit menu, select more, display options and then verify that you have Google contacts selected. Hope this helps.

Disable vibrate when receiving email

Hi all,
Firstly great support on here!!
I'm having an issue with my work exchange email. I get a vibrate every time i get an email.
I have it set to silent tone so there is no sound, but it still vibrates!!
I have my phone on the desk beside me at work and it's going nuts (i get a lot of emails).
The Gmail app has the option to disable vibrate and only have the notification text, which is exactly what i want for the exchange account.
Hoping someone here has a fix!
Email --> Menu --> Settings --> Select account --> Scroll down and uncheck vibrate?
Hi again watsa, fix this and I'll owe you lunch!
I don't have a vibrate option there? under the section 'Notification Settings' in the location you said i have:
Email Notifications (checked) Text says "Notify in status bar when email arrives)
and
Select Ringtone (i have this set to silent)
I don't see anything that mentions vibrate at all.

I dont have exchange email configured but gmail. I can see vibrate option in there with gmail. Try and setup gmail account in email app and see if you have that option? Else could it be new in recent firmware?
You mean you have your gmail account in the standrad email client, or in the actual Gmail app?
The gmail app has the option to disable vibrate.
I'll add gmail to the standard email client and see.
Maybe the new firmware might help.
I have gmail configured in email app
Really? I just added my gmail account to the email app.
Went to where you said and only had those other options.
I'll check after upgrade and see.
Hope it's there.
Thanks again watsa.
yes the option is definitely there on LFB. Don't remember if it was there before. Sorry you will have to update and see
Yep, its there on this firmware.
Thanks!
You can find it in settings - sounds - uncheck sound and vibrate. The only solution.

Seconded. The stock Email app uses the notification settings from the default "root" settings. It doesn't have the ability to set vibrate and sound independently. Bit of a shame, really.

It does on the latest update (LFB). You can set it seperate for each account. It is a new feature but no one responded to it when I said it.
Yep, latest firmware has individual settings.
Life saver, now my phone isn't annoying me all day.

Top Contacts Widget

Hello guys, is it possible to make Sony top contacts widget show only the people in my favorite group. The description of the program say its possible but i can't find such option anywhere . I don't want it to show my recent + my favorites .
you should log in online example using your facebook account to log in, once log in it will take a minute or two to load your recent contacts, then you can manage it, just uncheck the contacts you dont want to load on widget.
just click the settings button on top contact widget then click the contact, there you can set now which contact you want to reflect on your widget.

[Q] Notification Sound

My sounds are set up but,
1 There is no sound when I receive incoming texts and/or email.
2 When I do receive incoming gmail they do not show in the notification drop down.
3 The only way to see the emails is to open the app and then refresh the page.... and then they load.
Any help would be great.
You have to go into the app you want to change the notification for..
Ex. Open up your Google mail. Open up the gmail setting by pressing the 3 dots on the bottom right..press settings..then press the Google account you want to edit. There you will see the notification setting along with the Show notifications when email arrives.
For text messaging the same rule applies. Open up Messaging go to Menu..then Settings.

Everything was set as is necessary.
Still no sound on delivery and no incoming mail seen until the refresh button is hit.
I'm missing one or two small steps somewhere.
