Unit: C6903
FW: .134
Been having this problem or bug in using the Smart Key app in controlling the Walkman app (playing, pausing, next track, previous track control) sonce 290. Seems not functioning whenever the screen is locked and player isn't showing on the lockscreen. Also when I tried to swipe the lockscreen from the left, you know to add widget on the lockscreen, it seems like it's refuaing. It keeps going back to the default lockscreen. Screenshot for your reference. Hope someone can shed some light on this matter.

Wow, camera shortcut in lock screen? Are you sure? I never had those, hope none had. Can open camera from lockscreen but i think shortcuts can be placed. Are you using stock launcher?

Yes this can be done with stock launcher. (.350)
Does not work on pin, only on swipe to unlock. (So no code has to be entered to gain acces to the device.)
Music and Camera will be present there.
Sadly I could not find a way to remove or add things to help the OP.
Kind regards, Stefan.
The camera shortcut won't show up if you have a security lock screen on. Only if you have the swipe lock screen.
Is that your issue?

Not shortcut, as in a shortcut like you place on your home screen. It's part of Sony sleep-to-snap feature. There is a camera icon on the lock screen (on the right of the time display) that you can swipe left to directly launch camera (without unlocking your phone and accessing it from the menu/home screens). This makes it possible to capture those shots that only last a moment.
On the left side of the time display is the music icon. You drag that to the right to access music controls.
Checkout the screenshots below (they are Xperia V, but thanks to Sony's unified UI, looks the same). Hope this helps. If it does, hit thanks.

Open the camera app and go onto the settings and enable Quick Launch, that should do the trick.

You are right cassywilliam
I had the same. I have found that when I upgraded the software it came back again and then disappeared again after a few days (I think this had to do with utilizing an 'Exchange' email account. I have now deleted the Exchange account (which has various security conditions attached to it) and then basically messed around in the security settings for setting to swipe (with quick launch activated in the camera) and then back to PIN and the camera in the lock screen is back again!!! Its been there and stable for several weeks now... give it a go!
Ive uploaded a picture for the unbelievers out there
About shortcuts
Does anybody know how to add some shortcuts to the 'Home Button'? When you longpress the 'Home Button' you have a shorcut to Google Search, can you add more shortcut to that ring?
Thanks
Yeah, I would be curious to know if the lock screen shortcuts can be customised, too!
I've decided to use the music lockscreen as it allows instant access to my music when getting in the car etc.
However, earlier today it decided to freak out - I'd wake the phone up, the screen would come on then go out and repeat this cycle for a while until defaulting to the standard lockscreen.
However, in the options, music lockscreen was still selected. Turns out none of the specialist lockscreens are now working. All i can ise is either default or no lockscreen.
Any ideas for a cause/solution?

might be as simple as turning the phone off an back on
I went to turn it off and back on but thought I'd check it again before doing so. It was fine, guess the phone just had a silly moment!

You can't get rid of the time and weather info on the lockscreen by changing them in settings, ViperROM is the only ROM that even has a Mod in it to allow you to hide the lockscreen weather and clock.
That's not the problem. But there is only the weather and clock, even if I choose music (no music control) productivity (still the cloud an clock only) and pictures don't show either

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm on my phone at the moment and I'm still trying to figure out how to search just the xperia z forums using the xda app.
I don't really know what i did befofe this but suddenly my navbar started appearing in the lockscreen, I was wondering if anyone knew what might be the cause or how to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you flash any mods?
Are you using the original slide to unlock?
If you are using the Sony lockscreen but not the slide to unlock the navi bar will appear.

I found out what it was just now, it was the smart key app that lets you assign the key funtions of the headphones key.
I uninstalled the app and now the navbar is hidden in yhe lock screen.
Thank you for the help anyways
always back track what you did and you will solve the issue.

I had the same problem since I buy and because of you I've solved it!
Goodbye to Smart key and thank you very much! (from Argentina)
I had the same problem (see picture attached), but not in a million years I would have thought about smartkey app to blame for. The mystery was, that the navbar appeared on lockscreen just yesterday. The app was installed for weeks. Strange.
Thank you for finding out.:highfive:

well, there is a bug that actually allows this.
play a music and then go to home screen. From there, tap on the walkman app and immediately tap the home button. Dont let walkman open. This will allow the led to function during any apps, screen on and screen off.
Have fun.
Hit thanks if this helps. :good:

I found this on another site last night.
Took me a while to get the timing right but I can confirm it does work.
Why has sony given the led bar such limited functionality!
Cant wait to see what devs can do.
Still, the colors won't chamge with changing songs, I have read that Sony has released a led control api on their website? Will that help or is it already available in the device itself

That's to create apps that can use the LED. Can't be used with pre-existing apps.

When I updated my s4 active to 4.4 I no longer see the Samsung music widget on the list of lock screen widgets, just watch on, calendar, s health and a few other apps but not the music widget. Anybody having this problem or know of a fix
I also do not have the option of putting a samsung music widget on the lock screen. This might be because 4.4 automatically detects most media apps and puts forward, play/pause and backwards controls on the lock screen for whatever app has media playing so samsung may have decided there is no need to include a music widget. Of course I could be completely wrong, but that seems like the most logical reason to me.
