[Q] Tipo touchscreen Problem - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

hay
I am new here
just bought a SONY xperia Tipo Dual
i am unable to remove any widgets from home screen,
i tried tapping and holding but for a fraction of second it gets into editable mode and it just opens the widget app
what to do
thanks in advance

You press and hold, the icon or widget goes into editable mode, the apps icon in the bottom center changes into a trash can, and you then drag the icon/widget into the trash. This is all done without lifting your finger from the icon until you drop it in the trash.

Does this 'touchscreen problem' only happen with widgets, or does it happen with more things, more apps, more actions. when you swipe ur screen for example, on a webpage or something, does it show any bad habits there?

Hi,
I have the same problem with unresponsive touchscreen on my Xperia Miro. Very often when I press and try to put some app or wigdet in home screen to other place of the screen, or to recycle bin, I can't do it. It seems like the phone get lost my finger's touch. On settings I have problems with scrolling.
Did some of You try to give the phone to service?
Were they fix this problem in service?

There is a touchscreen calibration patch for tipo, don't know if there's one for miro (search it)
Otherwise return to Sony, they should fix it.

Lock screen gone after ROM update

I just downloaded and installed the ROM update(1.48.409) and SD card, Calendar view, SMS function, and digital Picture enchantment hotfixes.
The problem is that my Lock screen/slide to unlock screen is now gone.
I can press any of the physical buttons, and my device turns on.
This is very annoying when I have the device in my pocket.
Could anyone tell me how to get the Slide to unlock screen back?
Thanks!

YES lol
You could have first searched the forums, saved yourself a post, and not created ANOTHER redundant thread, but here's what you do...
Go to the start menu, select lock (bottom left softkey).
It works after you do that.
Incidentally, if you ever have it that you press an email preview in the email tab, and it doesn't open the email, this is the same problem. The fix applies to both issues.
Well, I did try to search the forum, but didn't find anything
Anyway, thanks!

No problem
I had the same problem.
Start and then press lock!
After that it started to work properly again

So, basically, the suggestion from above works?
U can just tap on start, that on lock (bottom left). From now on your phone lock will work again (and also opening e-mails from preview).

can't remove widgets from screen

I can't move the widget from the screen.
Factory data reset, a few times, but still without success.
Somebody idea?
Press and hold the one you want to remove and then drag it down to the bottom of the screen

the lockscreen or the home screens?

home screen.
When I hold the icon appears able to move, but just as it freezes. It is interesting that the icons can be placed on display, but they can not move. Otherwise, everything works smoothly.
Today I re-installed the RUU (RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.2_Radio_10.43.9007.00P_10.11.9007.19_M_release_193173_signed), but still without success. I think it's a software bug ..
That's just weird. Can you add shortcuts through long-pressing, or just through the Personalize menu? Does long pressing work anywhere else?
Maybe try downloading another launcher app and see if you can add/remove widgets and shortcuts there, just to try to narrow it down.

Thanks for your advice.

Do you think that the problem in the software?

I don't think theres a other way to unlock honestly...
I DO know theres a way to remap the buttons, so that you would (as example) be able to use the volume buttons for unlocking the screen. But I would have no idea how it actually works, too long ago since I saw it somewhere...
But about your power/unlock button, did it function normally before, or has it been bad since you got the phone?
Maybe there's some dirt or something in the button blocking it partly?

I have the same problem with the power button. It's not your fault, it's just the wrong way the button was made.
I use 2 apps to lock/unlock my phone by shake( and you can also unlock by hand gestures over the sensor- next to the front camera). You can try ShakeMe and you can also try to use Advanced Screen Control. Just install these 2 apps and play with the sensitivity and you'll find the perfect fit.
These 2 apps seem to be the best out of the bunch that you can find on the Play store.
Tell me if they work!

If you root, go to /System/Usr/Keylayout/
Edit Generic.kl file.
Adding 'WAKE' after Volume down and up.
Then go to setting>security>screen lock to none
Maybe some other expert member can figure out how to make this working when enable screen lock.
Sorry my english.

You can have screen lock on and use volume down to unlock:
- With a root access file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer go to /system/usr/keylayout
- Open in text editor file fih_gpio-keys.kl
- Look for key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
- Replace the "VOLUME_DOWN" with "POWER".
- Save and reboot.
This essentially maps your volume down key as a power button. If you need to reduce the volume push volume up then use the on screen slider to set volume

Access notification bar from home button dock?

When I had my LG G2 some time ago, I was able to customize the buttons on my dock. I was able to have a back, home, sadly no multitask button, but there was an option to have a button that would drop the notification bar.
I've been looking for an app, or solution since the Z5 is on the big side. I went through all the phones settings, but couldn't find the option. Anyone know of an app that may offer this functionality? I'm searching, but haven't found anything. I did find an app, but I'd rather a button added to my button dock that's always available.
Thanks
you would need root to do so.
Damn, is there any non root solution? Don't want to void warranty less than a week after buying it lol

you can install another launcher like nova launcher. There you can do everything. E.g. expand notification bar on swipe down or create shortcuts to open the bar...

Awesome, thanks for this. I already use nova launcher so looked through the settings. The best option I found was pressing the home button while already on the home screen and it'll drop the notification bar. Not exactly what I want, but gets the job done. The ideal solution would be to have a fourth, dedicated button beside the multitasking button that dropped the notification bar without having to be on the home screen. Just like the keyboard icon in the bottom right when a keyboard is open.
The G2 did this perfectly with the built in options. Wish about offered this on the stock Rom. Thanks for the tip GZA, at least I can do this from the home screen now.

Er, that's how Android has worked since at least Jellybean 4.1 (first Android version I ever had). Start with your finger just above the top of the screen and swipe down.

In Nova settings you find gestures and input. There is swipe down option. You can add expand notification there... But this feature could be in paid version only. Not sure...

Er that's how Android has always worked, and not what my question is. I'm looking for a solution to drop it without doing that as this phone is too tall.

Changing Screenshot combo

Hello everyone
I am using a rooted Samsung phone running stock Touchwiz ROM. My home button has stopped working and so I'm unable to take screenshots. I tried the assistive touch screenshots feature but it's slow and doesn't work in most cases. I was wondering if I could probably edit the build prop or something to change the screenshot combo to power and volume down probably.
Any help will be appreciated

I think screenshot touch app help you. It's not required hardware keys to press. When app is enabled small popup icon displays on the side of the screen. When you touch that icon it takes the screenshot immediately. Install it from play store

Thanks for the suggestion but I already have the assistive touch icon roaming around my screen. One more icon will be quite distracting. I had considered this option but I would like to have hardware control over my screenshots instead of software. This is the reason why I put it up here. Flashing a ROM will be way too much for such a small thing
