Does anyone know where the options are for the kickstand? I can't get anything to come on the screen when i open it. My screen rotates but stays on the homes creen with no options.
Wont work if you are using an alternate launcher like LPP. Other wise its under display settings, toggle kick stand on.

Yes it will work just fine. I was referring to the options that pop up for you to select while in kick-stand mode.
I use go.launcher and when I open kickstand I then have to hit the home button to bring up the clock

I use go launcher and I can't get the default desk clock to show no matter what I try.
What about being able to turn the screen side ways without the kick stand up? I like to turn my phone side ways and have the home screen long ways.
any ideas?
(everything else turns when i turn the phone, ie text browser option screen most programs, just not the home screen, unless the kick stand is out?)

Launcher Pro lets you do this, but you loose the kickstands activation of the desk top mode.I've made a shortcut on one of my homescreens for the desktop when I want it.

With LP, you get an option to put an activity on your homescreen just like you would for a widget or application. Long press a homescreen, select shortcut, select activity, select desk home, select desk home.

I'm using Launcher Pro and the kickstand option works fine for me. When I open the kickstand, it asks if I want to go into widget clock/kickstand mode. Is that not what happens for other people?

It didn't used to work for me, that's why I made the shortcut, but I just tried it and it worked. I wonder if this has to do with me flashing the Laser P-ROM yesterday which has the HDMI webtop hack. Do you have this hack installed? I also noticed I get a notification that I'm connected to multimedia station even though I'm not when the kickstands activates. I didn't get that message before.
I am running adw ex and I love having the option of using the large hidden dock bar as my main dock but this only seems to work randomly and I don't know how to get it to reappear again. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? Thank you

i don't seem to have this problem. I just touch and drag-up on the launcher icon and its there. it does pop up when coming back to the homescreen once in a while, but thats not really an issue.
Problem i did notice tho, is that the icons on my homescreen can't be place at the left or right edge, its just a blank column that i can't put apps in, really minimizes the space i have and doesn't look as nice with everything closer to the middle. I only have this issue with EX, not the free version.
Any help there?
Are you talking about the regular "phone" dock bar (right side of screen in landscape) or the hidden dock bar (bottom of screen in landscape)? Because the regular one can be removed in the ui settings to give more screen real estate. Then there is another option to make the hidden one your main dock.

thanks for the tip on more screen realestate.. but i never had the dockbar along the side and can't seem to find the setting to put it there...
Sorry im at work right now on my phone... when i get home ill try and take a screen shot and show you what i mean

Nevermind I just assumed the main dock bar was on the side like launcher pro. But I figured out the hidden one can be set with a gesture so now mine can hide /unhide with a swipe down. The hidden one is way better anyway and can hold way more icons.

What are some of the delightful things you found about this phone but you might not have expected when you bought it?
I like having 5 rows and 5 columns on the home screen, plus up to another 7 icons in the app drawer.

It's been talked about in other threads, but the wireless storage feature was crazy simple to setup and access on my home network.

I knew about it before I owned the phone, but I had no idea I'd appreciate knock-knock so much. It is one of the best ideas for a phone.

The most delightful discovery that I didn't expect(i forgot about it) was the quite good imo remote control app. I can now control every setup in my house from my phone. A great feature!
I am one of the unlucky to have owned the P930, or ATT nitro HD as it was called. That phone was, frankly, terrible. I literally got only about 1.5 hours screen time until dead. Even with the bad taste in my mouth from that LG, I am glad I gave LG another chance. This phone is amazing...

You can turn it on with a toggle in the top row of the notification shade. If there's not a toggle there called "Wireless Storage", you can enable it with the edit button at the end of the top row. Once enabled, you can mount your phone as an SMB share by typing in '\\your.phones.ip.address" in windows explorer, or map it as a network drive, etc. It will have need a username and password, which you can find in the notification shade.

I've even programmed my electric fireplace remote. If you have a remote that's not on the list you can design you own remote with just the buttons you want. Pretty awesome! You can also have you remote appear in your pull down automatically when connected to home WiFi.

This is one I just stumbled upon. You can add/change widgets on the Lock Screen.
From the Lock Screen:
- Swipe the clock downwards to minimize the carrier and owner info.
- Press and hold the clock to remove, then add a different widget.
- From the Lock Screen, towards the upper half, swipe from left to right, you can add additional widgets on new screens.
- By default, swiping from right to left opens the camera.

Like I said, stupid simple to setup. It will change the way you transfer files back and forth from your PC, pictures and music especially.

Isn't it super slow? With my wifi-n router I get only about 1.25 MB/sec.

I haven't done any big transfers yet, but I will now that you mention it. If it's dog slow then maybe only good for a few pics here and there. Big transfers will still need to be on the cable. I'll try and do one soon.

That's a standard Jelly Bean 4.2.x feature but yes, it is pretty neat.

Does pressing +Log add more logs to the fireplace? :laugh:
A small thing, but I like that the notifications bar is transparent when on the home screen, allowing your image to show through.
I love the way new texts and phone calls pop up in a little window so you can act on them immediately without leaving the current application you are in.
Ok. I just tried using a pencil on my ZXU. When I swiped down the notification panel with it, there on the top is as shortcut for a new note and a new sketch. These shortcuts only showed when I swiped with a pencil.

Oh yeah nice find i was like, asking why there's no sketch anymore after using my finger but this is the answer thanks!
What kind of pencils are people using for Ultra?
I'm using fiber castell HB but it not as responsive because of the sharp tip. The back of the pencil is much much more responsive. I'll try to dull the lead tip so I can draw..

I'm using a ballpoint with spring mechanism on the other end, which was made by metal and because of the spring, the screen doesn't get pressed too much by the tip.
Oh so people are actually using REAL pencils? :laugh:
I would want a stylish but no idea whats good.
Real pencil is more comfortable in drawing.

I use real pencils too, architectural office easy to find one!
If you want to swipe down and still see the note sketch shortcut just do it with your nail
Stinky tip ha!!!

"Fun" Fact: If you connect a mouse to your ZU, the same shortcuts will be in the notification dropdown
whaoh did not know you can use a mouse.
Yeah, just get a USB OTG. They are cheap and can be bought almost everywhere. Once you have one, you can plug a mouse into it, a keyboard or both (wireless bluetooth dongle), memory sticks, external drives, floppy disk drive if you miss the 90s, or a PS3 controller. The short story is that you can plug almost everything, if not everything that is USB based to it.

Will have to try it out. I did manage to make my USB drive to work though. Did not realize a mouse and keyboard will work. I was also able to use the PS3 DS3 controller on the XZU playing Modern Combat 4 but the controls are not mapped correctly.
You guys know the shop presentation mode? Try
*#*#73556673#*#*
But be careful, that resets Xperia home to default settings, enables Bluetooth, sets the screen timeout to 30s, wallpaper to standard and the font size to normal.

Another one.
Swipe off screen from the bottom in between the back and home icons or in between the home and recent icon and you will activate Google Now more easily compared to long press on the home button.

That's a stock feature for devices with on-screen buttons. It actually reacts when you drag your finger from the home button and up.

Nice finds. I also found out that any widget can be made into a floating app like the default small apps.
1. Tap "Recent Apps" and then the up arrow.
2. Now tap "+" and choose "Widgets".
3. Choose any widget, name it, tap "OK" and the widget will show up in the list.
4. Just tap the widget in the list to show it as a floating app.
5. The cool thing is you can double-tap the title bar of the floating widget to maximize the widget or drag it to the right or bottom border to "dock" them so that you bring them out easily while using another app. You can do the docking with the default small apps too.
there is this really cool feature called '6 week wait'
when something goes wrong with your device you have to wait 6 weeks... or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just installed VLC on my new S9+ and the "Home Screen" and "Back" buttons are on the right hand side when in landscape mode (On my Tab S6 the buttons always stay on the bottom of the screen no matter what the orientation).
I thought this could be changed in settings but was surprised to see Settings --> Display --> Home Screen option dimmed out and not selectable.
Am I missing something?
Sorry I missedread your question.
I don't think this is possible. Navigation bar kn the bottom I believe is only possible for tablets. Just checked on my S10 and S9+ and there is no setting changing this or at least I was not able to find it.
