Restart on menu? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, just got one of these nice phones, and noticed that when pressing the "power button" I only have "Power Off" , "Airplane Mode".
Where, and how can I add both Screenshot, and Restart ((reboot)) to the menu?
Seems crazy I have to Power off then restart the phone for a simple re-boot.
Thanks in advance.

If you upgrade to official 4.4 you'll have at least the screenshot option. For having the restart option you need root

Wow, root, really? Bugger. Oh well. May have to take a look at the mod forums then.

[Q] weird lettering

Hi guys, I just notice a weird lettering of a word 're' appearing on my lockscreen it is below the clock, I cant find any setting that have that
Anyway I can remove it, btw how to take a screenshot of the lockscreen, I tried the pwr vol down cant
Do you have 'Owner's info' enabled in lock screen options?
Any 1 gt this prob? Can help me solved
I've never had this problem.
As said before by kiwi45(since you didn't answer his question) see if you have "Owner info" enabled. This can be found in "Settings -> Security -> Owner info".
Taking screenshots of the lock screen is real simple, use the Android SDK, enable USB debugging on your device and use the "capture screen" option in monitor.bat/sh. (included in the Android SDK)

[Q] Impossible to enable lock screen in stock rom [SOLVED: DEMO MODE]

Hi,
My P7 does not have lock screen, instead of this, loads an annoying app called P7 (which comes with stock ROM).
Any of you have an idea to enable lock screen? In settings->security->lock screen, option appears in grey and it is unselectable
I have updated to B126 to check if there was an issue with my stock rom, but it is the same.
Thank you

I'll take a guess here that you have the default magazine slideshow lock.
Go into the theme app and click customize them you can change the lockscreen style to one that allows widgets etc.
It took me a little to figure it out also when I got my phone.

No, i dont have any lock screen. When i press power off button to go to lockscreen, by default, the P7 app appears with a lot of spam about huawei. If i disable this app by settings->applications->p7->disable, when i press power button, screen goes black and when i press again, instead of see the typical lock screen, i see the desktop directly

Please take a screenshot of what you mean.
This was already discussed before, use the search button next time.
Your phone is in demo mode, used for demostration in shops.
Try method post #20 first, if it doesn't work do the steps in post #18.

I want to add it in our native power menu. In quick reboot we have to open the app. I want to go to add the recovery and screenshot option to g4's own power menu.

Alternatively, use the screenshot shortcut in the quick toggles.
