Hi,
what is the meaning of the Button on the lockscreen at the top on right side ?- Nothing really happens if i use it. (rom Global 6.5.3.0)
Kind regards

It is the Wallpaper Carousal. It basically lets you select sime pictures for the lock screen wallpapers and keeps playing them like a slideshow.

Hello everyone
Is there any way to scroll through the icons at the bottom of the home screen quickly, without having to flick through one at a time? It takes forever to get from Home to Weather or Settings because each time you scroll along one icon the main display changes.
I guesss basically I want scroll through the icons without each tab being displayed as you go.
Cheers for any help with this.
put your finger on the bottom menu and slide to the correct item.
look at a demo on coolsmartphone.com our youtube. it goes pretty fast
Aha, so I was missing something. Excellent, thanks very much!
Put your finger on the "Selector"/cube/active icon of the mode selector bar, then you'll notice that the screen will have an overlay of the currently selected mode, now you can slide your finger to the mode you want.
I searched far and wide for this. The specs all seem to indicate that the ATT version of the S5, despite missing some features ( ::cough:: download booster ::cough:: ), DOES have Kids mode "enabled".....it's just you need to go through a variety of esoteric steps to activate it.
So, I apologize in advance if this is canonized somewhere else, but I couldn't find it on the web anywhere, so I'm happy to share it here:
One a clear place on your home screen, tap and hold on the wallpaper (not on an icon or existing widget)
This will load up the homescreen options, tap on the "widgets" box that will appear on the bottom of your screen
Side-scroll until you see the widget for "Kids mode" - it's a 1x1 icon of a cartoon gator on an yellow background
Tap and hold the icon and then place it anywhere on the homescreen, this will place the widget icon on your homescreen with a little arrow pointing downward (presumably indicating that this feature still has yet to be downloaded/installed/configured
Tap on the icon and this will open a new window asking you to install the Kids Mode. Tap on the install button. This will proceed to download the app (reported as being 61.3MB large), and install it (you will see a bunch of toast notifications indicating your internal storage is dropping).
The screen will then close and take you back to the homescreen where you left the widget - and the little downward pointing arrow should have disappeared.
Tap the widget icon, then follow the instructions for activating Kids mode! :victory:
It sucks that it is so hard to find and activate for those who want/need it, but I am relieved to see that for those of us who do not kids it is not needlessly taking up space on our phones.
Agreed. At least put the dang icon on one of the homescreens so that you can quickly see how to download and activate it. I too don't have kids, so I'm happy to just uninstall it now and get back 61MB+ of space on the "stingy" 16gb storage......
Stupid question, I have been forced to use a lockscreen on my Z3C for security purposes, however i would like when i change my wallpaper for my homescreen and lockscreen to change simultaneously.
I know on iOS devices, when you apply a wallpaper you get the option for home, lockscreen or both.
Is there a way of doing this on the Z3C that im just not seeing or did sony/android just omit this feature entirely?
Settings-personalization--wallpaper for home screen.
Settings-personalization--lock screen for lock screen.
or
from a picture you hit the 3 dots on up right corner and use as.
the option like iOS i think there isn't,you just have to make the same thing twice
thanks punkyd but i know those methods, i just wanted a method to do both at once.
This has been bugging me as well
Seems that once you turn briefings off you can no longer put a blank screen to the far left. Anyone had success on this?
You can't directly add one, but you can add a blank screen on the right side and drag it all the way to the left. It's not perfect, but it works.
Hold down on a blank spot on screen. Switch to a different panel and there is a home button on each panel. Press it until it lights up. Now that will set your main home screen and rearrange your icons etc and you can have panels to the left of your main homepage.
Upgraded to UMEI 9 the other day (and still don't like it) - have they removed the quick launch camera option from the lock screen totally? I think you could just swipe up from the bottom right corner before on the lock screen? Any tips would be helpful.
Also, the volume buttons suck now! Mine seem to default to the media volume and not the actual ringtone. Hoping it's just me being an idiot and missing an obvious setting change. Thanks!
