Is there a way to NOT have the SMS wake my screen? It gets annoying as the screen turns on then just drains until I turn the screen off. I don't want to have to set my screen off time to something quicker... just wondering if its possible?
This might seem like a really noob question but for the Sense pin lock screen does it instantly appear like the pattern screen or have a slight delay before it pops up?
I suffer from the white screen issue whenever my phones into sleep.
I was wondering if there is anyway to lock the screen without it turning off?
I'm making a sort of a "screensaver" functionality with lock screen - changing background every 30min.
Is there a way to keep the screen on, while lock screen is visible? Can lock screen be launched programmatically?
Even unconventional solutions/hacks are welcomed.
I´m not a developer but you could do somrthing with notifications that wake up the screen
It's an idea, thanks.
Summary: is it normal for the unlocked lockscreen to never appear? I only get the locked one. If I turn off the screen and turn it on before the lock timeout, it's at the last app instead of at an unguarded/soft lockscreen.
Details:
Every other Android phone I've used has a separate display timeout and lock timeout. Meaning, if the display turns on before the lock timeout, there is an unlocked lockscreen (that you can just swipe away). It doesn't actually lock until the lock timeout.
But this phone....only ever gets the lockscreen after the lock timeout. If the display tuns on before the lock timeout, it's already unlocked and in an app. You can sort of get around this is by enabling "power button locks instantly", but that totally defeats the purpose of the lock timeout. What's worse is that it does have the normal two separate display and lock timeouts like every other Android phone, but still somehow has this weird instantly-in-an-app behavior.
So basically, it lacks an unsecured lockscreen. Did I mess something up or is this normal?
The only explanation I have for this is that Sony disabled the unsecured lockscreen due to how hard it is to accidentally turn on the display (since the button is recessed).
Please, anybody? In other words, is it normal that the lockscreen to only appears after the lock timeout ("Automatically lock" setting) and that there is never an unguarded lockscreen?
