Hello,
I somehow managed to turn on the setting that makes my Moto X say whatever I am touching (ie, if I touch the home button, my phone says "home") I am pretty sure it's in the Moto settings, problem is I can't get to the settings. When i touch the apps button, it says apps page one ofs six and i can't scroll over because whatever i touch, the phone just announces it. I can double tap any shown icons, but can't scroll to get to the settings i need.
Any simple way to turn this off?
Thanks
Its in accessibility settings, you'll have to turn off TalkBack. To select an icon or to turn on/off tap on the icon first, then double tap elsewhere on the screen

Hi,
Anyone found a way to move the new windows taskmanger over a few icons towards the middle? It's always hidden under the X and thus useless to change programs. In fact it might be useful to order/move all the icons in the top task bar??
I've always used Magic Button but it doesn't seem to work that well with WM6.1, Ariel or WiseBar might be an option? Otherwise thinking of remapping one of the very scarce buttons??
Thanks.
Somehow I managed to remove the icon completely. Anyone who knows how to get it back?
settings -> taskmanager , choose button tab.
Hi,
Yep, that was how I setup TaskManager.
x Enable "X" button to end running programs
x End programs by tapping "X"
o End programs by tapping and holding "X"
x Enable Quick Menu on Today screen
x = checked
... however the TaskManager quick menu in under the "X" button. i.e. you have to close every program to get to the manager to change to the program you want ... but now it's closed??
I could use tap & hold to end, then minimise every program to change, but I was thinking like magic button - if I could just move the |||> icon over one space to the left I could tap TaskManger and then go to the program I want. Maybe I'm just being really really dumb?
Missing TaskManger dis this fix the problem?
Hello all!
I can't get wm6.5's default lockscreen to work on my Trinity. "Windows Default" is selected in the settings, but when I press "Lock" in Start Menu, the device locks the hardware buttons, but the lockscreen doesn't appear, I can freely tap anywhere on the screen. If I turn off and on the device, the X in the upper right, and the start menu icon in the upper left corner are not working, howewer I can adjust volume, see the connectivity setting, etc... Hardware buttons still locked. I can't get out of it, so I have to flash my phone again...
What am I doing wrong???
Edit: now when I press "Lock", everything disappears from the screen except the upper icons and the background bitmap. No slider, nothing...
Hey all,
I just ran into this site and being a new user of Miui, it totally blew my mind.
Now I know that most of these could be found on the miui forums but for the new guys/gals here you are
This was totally brought to you but http://www.maketecheasier.com

1. Long press on the icon in Toggles to launch the settings for that icon.
When you pull down the notification bar, you will see the Toggle settings for plenty of options (such as WIFI, volume, backlight etc). Long press on any icon in the Toggle mode will launch the setting for that icon.
2. Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
3. Press Home key to preview screens
Pressing the Home button once will bring you back to the Home screen. Pressing the Home button button will show you all the screen thumbnails. You can also ad/remove screens from here.

4. Slide from left to right to quickly delete a message or a call log.
In the SMS or Dialer app, swipe left or right any entry will bring up the Delete mode.
5. Move home screen icon easily
Hold down an icon by one hand to enter Edit Mode, and then use the other hand to slide the screen to move the icon to the target screen.
6. Launch Music Player in lockscreen
In the lockscreen, double tap the time zone to launch the Music Player. (The Music Player is hidden by default, unless a song is playing)

7. Quickly access the Dialer or SMS from the lockscreen
In the lockscreen, hold down the icon of Call or SMS, and you can enter the responding program.
8. Activate the torch from the lockscreen

9. Access shortcut menu from contact image
In the Calls, SMS or Contacts app, tap the contact image and a shortcut menus will appear.
10. Search via voice recognition
Long press on the Search button will launch search via voice recognition.
11. Switch the Battery UI to show percentage
The default battery UI can be switched to display percentage of left battery capacity. To do so, go to “Settings -> System -> Battery Settings -> Battery Indicator Style -> Percentage“.
12. Long press on the Home button to show History
Like any other Android ROM, long press on the Home button will show the recently used apps. However, in MIUI, there is also an App Killer and App Manager button. Swiping the popup left will show the search form.
13. Setting up IP dialing
If you need to add an IP prefix for a particular number in a strange land, you can set it in Settings -> Common -> Calls Settings. Turn the “Auto IP dialing” ON and set the IP prefix and current area code.
14. Send SMS for rejected calls
When you are not available to answer the phone, you may slide up the panel to reject the call and to send a message to the caller at the same time.
15. Enable 720P to record a video
If your phone comes with a camera that support HD recording, you can enable 720P in the Video mode. Run the Camera app and switch to Video. Select “High” -> “720P” in the pop-up menu of video quality.
16. Quickly uninstall an app
To uninstall an app, simply press and hold the icon until the trash bin show up at the top of the screen. Move the icon to the trash bin to uninstall the app.
17. Quickly read SMS and mark it read
In the lockscreen, press down the SMS button (without dragging it down) to reveal the new incoming message on the lockscreen. Once you have finished reading it, double tap on the SMS button to mark it read.
The above is all the hidden tips and tricks I know about MIUI. What else have I left out?

ive learnt .. actually i read abt miui from the site before installing eybees version ..
I want something exactly like Soft Lock Screen, which, once I tap on it, will turn off the screen and lock the phone.
Only thing is, I want that button to sit in the Slide Down Notification panel all the time. Whenever I tap on it inside the Slide Down Notification Panel, it should turn off the screen.
Please guide me in the correct direction! :cyclops:
This new feature on 6.0.1 does not work on my phone, despite several restarts, safe mode activation, etc. Will not do software repair for now- too much hassle.
Am I the only user who has this problem? Seemed like a nice idea: after double tap to wake, now double tap to sleep!

Are you using the Home launcher?
This was a Concept feature, I'm not sure if it was in the full release. But, if it did, you need to double-tap on an empty area of the homescreen in Home.
I am sure it's a final release feature: the option to toggle it on or off appeared in my home screen settings menu after downloading 6.0.1.
And yes, I know how to activate it: double tap empty space on home screen.
Any Z3 Compact owner reading this whose double tap to sleep works?
Tap To Sleep in 6.0.1: Issue Solved
Just figured it out: while in "tap to wake" I can use many different intervals (i.e. time between the two taps) to activate the function, "tap to sleep" will only accept a precise interval to work: if I double tap just 50 milliseconds too fast or too slow, it will not work.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. Must be frustrating to get that timing right, though..
HI, you need to long press on your home screen and then you get it selected with everything what's there. When you see this that you an remove or add items to your home screen there will be either a setting icon or a plus icon on the bottom that you need to click on. This will show a menu where if you scroll down will give you the option to activate "double tap to sleep" feature. Sony could have put the double tap to wake up and sleep mode in one place ……
