Sorry to ask a question that is possibly in the manual I haven't been able to access yet (disc is at home, I and phone are at work) .. but, is it possible to show more than just the next appointment in the diary on the scroll down diary entry from the home screen??
EDIT: also, is anyone else finding that the screen goes blank during a call so you can't then access the buttons on-screen without having to switch the device back to life??
Thanks folks!
The screen going off during the call is a feature. Stops your ear from setting other programs off during the call!
There should be a setting in the today screen that allows more diary events....can't tell exactly where (I don't have mine yet).

Does swiping upwards in the today screen help? This changes the big clock to a small clock with more information below it.
Am using windows Mobile 6.1 and all the screen rotate pannels etc I have found apparently were for a previous version of windows mobile? I have no idea just can't get them to work on install.
Am at the point now where I am just so annoyed of having to pull out my keyboard whenever I want to be playing music etc.
Anyone point me in the right direction
been an idle lurker here for months, just hate messaging. Keep up the good work guys
I can't figure out exactly what you want the phone to do..
The Xperia X1 does not have an accelerometer, so it can't 'feel' how it is oriented if that's your problem. The only way to rotate the screen is through settings - screen orientation, or sliding out the hardware keyboard.
I hope it helps...

you could always map a button to rotate the screen...
AE Button plus.
quickmenu also provides rotate
maybe a little less comfortable as you need to access the respective submenu manually
Why didn't I think of that... Mapped a button.
Thankya.
BUMP
nobody with ideas?
ok i guess you want to rotate screen with some software.. ?
SPB Mobile Shell (available as a panel for free) or SPB Pocket Plus (commercial) both provide such a feature.
argh!
I'm going nuts trying to find an app I had installed on a device i once owned.
It was a widget that let you swipe in from the side of the device and the when you did it had a "dock" of customizable short-cuts suddenly appear.
It was a great way to keep a minimalist screen but have very quick access to a large number of apps.
Anyone know what it is I'm talking about?
Swipepad?

I have since switched to Virtual Button bar, as I found it more useful than Swipepad
ahhh thankyouthankyouthankyou!
That was exactly what i was looking for!
Screen Locker is an app that allows you to lock the screen. It locks the screen in a way that prevents someone from trying to press buttons and touch the screen to change what you want to show them. They can still use the power buttons and some devices the home button is not consumed, but they still shouldn't be able to exit the app you locked them to.
Once you activate the lock, which is done by swiping in from the activation window, you can then pass your phone around to all your friends to show them that funny picture, hilarious Facebook post, or incriminating text without them trying to delete it, look at other content, exit the app, and pretty much anything you don't want them doing.
Its very simple to use as well:
1. Configure your options and settings as well as unlock pattern
2. Adjust where you want the activation window to be
3. Leave the app
4. Tap the activation window till you feel a vibration then swipe into the center of your screen
5. Share your phone
6. Enter unlock pattern and profit!
I have a couple ideas for the future of this app. I will let you guys play with this one then I'll get your feedback and go from there.
One thing I was thinking is long pressing the activation window to "hide" it allowing you to touch whatever might be under it. There will be a notification allowing you to re-show the activation area again.
Please email me with any recommendations or issues.
If you leave a one star rating, explain why. I cannot improve anything without any constructive criticism! Thanks!
From what I've read, there's no solution, but I won't accept it until I read it on XDA.
Pressing the power button when using pattern lock does not bring up the pattern lock screen. Instead there's a stupid swipe screen first.
Has a way been found to disable that swipe screen & go straight to the pattern lock screen?
I remember this first appeared with the Marshmallow update with my Note 5. Lots of people complained about it, don't think a fix was found. I just lived with it & now I'm used to it. In fact I totally forgot about it until reading your post.
OK. Let's try another approach.
While looking into this I learned that setting security to "None" works. Tried it, & it does seem to.
I need a lock, though. Sooo...what about using a third party swipe lock? Do any support Trusted Devices?
I have mine set up as swipe to unlock with a password, no pin, no pattern. I also use fingerprint and iris to unlock. Most of the time I also have a trusted device (Gear S2 watch) connected that prevents my phone from asking for the password. There is also a setting for unlocking with the home button instead of pressing the power button. Go to Settings: Display: Navigation bar: Unlock with home button. So for me, with my watch connected, I just hard press where the home button is on the screen and I'm unlocked, no swiping! You can use this with or without AOD.
LOL, I guess I'm having trouble even accepting a non solution from XDA.
Bumping for more ideas/solutions.
Can I maybe disable it with BK Disabler (if so, I haven't found a way).

The answer is in the post right above yours. Go to settings>display>navigation bar and turn on "Unlock with Home Button".
I get what that says, however, I use the LED cover. When opening the cover it powers on the phone. I want to open & unlock...not open, swipe, & unlock...not open, press, unlock.
Basically, the only way I've found to disable the swipe screen is to disable security completely. I want the lock, though.
Method on my Note 8, Android 7.1.1
Settings, Navigation Bar, set Unlock with Home button to on. After that if you hold the home button it will skip the swipe to unlock screen. For me it takes me to my pin screen directly.

I prefer the fingerprint. Mine is set up that even if it's showing the AOD, as soon as I press the fingerprint sensor, it's INSTANTLY unlocked and showing the home screen. By far the fastest way.

solution
...........you must have installed a third party free software,like mobogenie e.t.c,so go to your settings and find permissions in there you might find a permission regarding your lock screen dont allow any non-samsung apps access to it,and that should do it,lemme know if that did the trick.ciao..........( i copy this from another web site)
This works for me. I uninstall everything which I install today., becouse swipe screen start today.
Sorry for my bad english
hey... I'm lookin for a solution on this as well
android 4.3 and kitkat we didn't have fingerprint... but we didn't have to deal with swiping all the damn time every time we turned the screen off
this sucks... want to keep the screen fingerprint/pattern without the swipe to unlock bit
There is a very discrete menu button in the upper left hand corner of the first unlock screen. That will give you the option to turn it off.

Screenshot? I'm not seeing it.
This has been on basically every android phone since lollipop. just get used to it. There's no way to change it
I agree with OP; having two lock screens is dumb, especially with the secure one just being on a blank screen - no wallpaper.
-just started setting up a new Note 8

You are incorrect My LG G4 running Marshmallow I was able to disable the stupid swipe first screen somehow... I know it's possible to do on my new to me LG V20 running Oreo.
I mean seriously you said "just get used to it" on XDA forums? The entire point of these forums was to customize our devices and not to accept the default. If I wanted somebody else to tell me what I wanted I'd be a sheep buying an iPhone.
The home button thing isn't working for me because my V20 doesn't have a home button and for security reasons I don't want to use fingerprint or facial recognition.

For security reasons? Are you scared your device sends your encrypted fingerprints and face image to Samsung so they can sell it to other people?
With every new device, especially from Samsung, and new iteration of Android, it becomes increasingly more difficult to change and mod things. Fewer and fewer mods are being made and become available with every new release. You can see it in the Xposed repository, as well. I doubt disabling the swipe-to-enter pin/password/pattern is very high on anyone's list of things to change. Most people have accepted it and gotten used to it. It's not really all that much of an inconvenience. It adds maybe half a second to the unlocking process.
If you want something that's quicker, just use the fingerprint scanner. Oh, wait...
I have this on the galaxy s7 active on nougat and I'm looking to get rid of it as well...
well Oreo update its gone... Oreo update also isn't very stable... how can I remove this on Nugat? even with root acess? while still keeping the stock security system?
