Hi guys, can someone explain to me two things sony said about new ICS on Sola:
1. Extended Lock Screen - what does that mean, it seams the same to me?
2. Resizable widgets - which ones are they, how to resize them?
Thanx
1. Extended Lock Screen - what does that mean, it seams the same to me?

This has to do with the 'Glove mode usage'. When glove mode is enabled, you can with your finger not touching the screen ( or glove ),unlock and use the phone as normal, without touching it. Floating touch throughout the OS, not just in the browser. And you have this circle to tell you where your finger is pointing. If you lock your phone, and unlock with the bare finger touching the screen, it switches back to normal mode ( even though glove mode is still on ). Lock again, and if you unlock with the finger in the air, glove mode is used
To sum up, when glove mode is on, you can use the lockscreen to switch between using glove mode, and normal touch mode. This helps, as you dont need to go to setting to turn it on and off. If glove mode is off, this doesn't work, which is self-explanatory
2. Resizable widgets - which ones are they, how to resize them?

Press and hold a widget in the homescreen. After you confirm it's place, you get 4 little diamonds on the borders. You can use these to extend it vertically and horizontally. I think it's a feature introduced in the ICS update itself.
DO correct me if I am wrong, or if I missed something. I'm a noob
beta!

Hey there,
I have two weeks old Xperia Active. I noticed that sometimes when I'm pressing screen whole background brightness changes, like gradient would disappeared. Most visible when using QWERTY, when pressing R or I, no occurance when pressing other keys. Since I haven't got access to any other Xperia Active I don't know whether it is natural behavior or some fault.
Thanks for replies in advance.

I have not heard of any other similar case. Could it be that you somehow block the sensor that adjust the screen brightness?
If you're sure that you not blocking the sensor you could try to run a software repair on the phone using PC Companion.
me too
Me too!
Also my experia has the same display issue.
I read also a review in which the tester says that autobrightness was slow and scattering...
But i want to know if the many other possessors of Xperia Active have the same problem o not, or if we are too sensible.
For example i hope that if i flash with cyanogen display became perfect!
Need answers!!!

Search on youtube the video! It shows pefectly this problem
XPERIA ACTIVE SCREEN ISSUE
Yea i got this "issue" too. It reminds me of my Philips TV, where it adjust brightness depending on what's on the screen. If its dark, it gets brighter automatically, if i have a white window, on my desktop, then the brightness gets a little lower to make the white window seem less "annoying".
I think it's normal behaviour. If it bothers you so much... Then what about the light leaking softkeys at the bottom?
Whenever I push my power button to pop up my Lock Screen, it usually takes about 1-2 seconds to react. (same with the home button actually - not so fast as the one on the iphone)
I removed the water effect and I also changed the unlocking mechanism to something else but nothing really helps. Still 1-2 seconds before my screen wakes up.
Is there any way to improve this wake up time? My Google Nexus One was faster, my brothers HTC sensation wakes up faster and my friends Galaxy Nexus and HTC one S wake up faster.
I want my Galaxy S3 to wake up faster aswell! Any tricks, tips?
The phone needs to wake up the modem first. It's a design flaw that can be found at least in the Galaxy S and S2, too. I'm not sure if there's a fix
I think this problem existed in earlier Galaxies as well.
All you have to do is to download Softlocker from the market

Do you use the stock launcher?
T.
you have to disable s-voice's double press of home button.
unlock your phone and launch s-voice.
press the left soft key (menu), settings will popup.
below the language untick the "launch s-voice".
that's it.

Unfortunately this is not work for everybody.
Still there is a delay on my phone, this is not rom nor s-voice related, I think this is samsung thing, I hope they give an attention to this wake up delay...

Someone have found any solution?
no, thats the way deep sleep works
hi guys,
im finding this slightly annoying .... made worse by the fact that the previous rom i was running had a fast wake mod, so this makes my current one seem even slower
try blackbox rom 1.3.1 from darksideagent site, and make sure to select fast wake mod in aroma
cheers

as mentioned by @marcel_miller above, softlocker simply disabled deep sleep and now it's just instant lock and unlock.
thanks. for some reason I couldn't find it on market
I switched this option off and don't know how to turn it back on. Smh it came enabled and now I don't know how to turn it back on. For those that don't know what I'm speaking of its when you look at your watch and it comes on automatically

Go to settings and turn it back on.
You can do it via the watch or the phone app.
Also it's not when you're looking at the watch, its when you tilt your arm in a "I'm going to look at my watch" movement.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine is very non responsive to the auto on from movement. My gear (original) was way more responsive. I'm toying with returning it it's so bad about coming on automatically..
I have no option on the watch or in the settings in the wear app to turn this off and on either,

This only controls whether the watch is always on in ambient mode. I want to disable the wrist motion from completely turning it on.
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------
And in a perfect world I would like the watch to stay in ambient mode unless I do a gesture like double tap the screen to turn it on.

Then put it in mute. That will disable the gesture.

But then I get no notifications. There's not a way currently to make it just not wake up on wrist gestures, but appreciate you trying.
Hello all,
I just bought a new SMN7502 Note 3 Neo Duos , and after i have changed the air view mode from spen to finger or Auto Switch , i noticed screen flickers while browsing using stock browser when the background is in white color , also in Snote
When i change the mode back to spen , the screen flicker disappears
Is there anyone else complaining from this issue?
I think it is a software problem

Post in right section. Do not spoil the forum.
Has anybody found out yet how to use the shoulder buttons? There is no settings option like for the led strip.
Did Nubia forget to include it in the Android 9 version?
For future reference: Enter game mode, pull down the quick settings bars. There is a new button to activate and map the shoulder buttons
I just did the switch from China to global and I'm trying to figure out where the trigger buttond are its different the China rom
Can't post a link. Go to YouTube and watch?v=vIrtHkrFC6c&t=699
I seen it in a video before but the global rom I'm on don't have it in the pull down when in game mode waiting for update
I wish I could disable them. When watching youtube if I touch them the screen controls come up making it difficult to hold the phone for youtube.
Yeah dog, you have to turn the Gameboost button on, then the option for mapping the shoulder buttons appears

Shoulder Button Issues
Hi my name is Scott, I just got my Mars today and I can't not find this drop down menu to map the Shoulder buttons. I've went in the device settings, game mode, pretty much anywhere I could think to look. I guess it's a US version, 8gb 126gig . Anyways any kind of help would be nice. I'm looking forward to any advice! Thanks

Once you enter into game mode by flipping the red switch on the left side you open the game you would like to play. Once in the game you want to play (only in gaming mode via the switch) you pull down your notification drop-down and you'll see a D-pad icon. Hit the icon and turn the button feature on via the switch at the top of the screen. Adjust your shoulder inputs to the proper location and click the X in the top right corner when your all set. That should be it.
I also have this issue with the buttons while watching YouTube. It also changes the way scrolling works on a web page, or document. Instead of swiping and it scrolling even after my finger leaves the screen, if I'm touching either of the shoulder buttons it stops the scrolling when I stop swiping. For the people saying the solution is to turn off game mode, you can't view YouTube, web pages or emails while in game mode (if you can I haven't found a way), this is a different problem.

Even when not in game mode. Open youtube and start a video playing full screen. Touch one of the buttons. It will cause the player controls to popup. They are still active.

That's odd then because I am also on the global and I do not have that issue. I have no access to shoulder buttons outside of game mode. You may want to try a factory reset...
I completed a factory reset, updated to the newest version, and factory reset again. Problem persists, not really sure what more I can do. It's annoying, but not a deal breaker. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the phone.
This is gonna sound sad but since I don't actually USE those buttons I just covered them with some black painters tape and I'm hoping t get fixed in and update.
I had an update.. and somehow I got extra button beside L and R, it is T .. its is for fingerprint scanner... but i just got to feel the exprience once on pubg mobile. After i exit and launch for the second time, the T button is still there but its not functioning anymore.. does anyone know how to fix these? cause its very helpful to had that button useable again.
Does anyone know if you can use those shoulder buttons for other things besides gaming? Like map them to open an app or something?
