Swipe to unlock animation - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Can anyone help out with this?
I just got the xz and noticed that when you swipe to unlock, the animation is now right to left instead of usual bottom to top. Is there a way to change this as it's very jarring and annoying?

you can still swipe bottom to top to unlock

Its made to match fingerprint reader placement. AFAIC you can download 3rd-party lockscreen, but I don't know how it will get along with Sony's one and android doze feature :/

[Q] Screen Locked (ADW Launcher)

When I moving around with my fingers, sometimes a screen lock symbol shows up on the left top corner. Then I can't click anything. It seems like the phone lock function. I can go back to main screen but I cna't click anything. The only way to unlock it is to reboot. Did anyone knows how to unlock it? It may comes handy as the lock function. Thanks.

[Q] App/Mod to lock the bottom system bar?

So my Asus has an option where you can lock the bottom bar so you don't accidentally open the setting menu or press back during games/movies.
I want something similar for my Note10 as when using S-note my palm sometimes sits on the bar and opens the menu which is very annoying! This isn't a palm detection issue within the S-note app it's just a general Android tablet issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Acctually, when your s-pen is hovering on your screen, your screen is automatically locked from your hand touch
correct me if I'm wrong
Dam you're right. I guess the issue happens when I lift the pen too high and still lean on it. Might need to adjust my writing style.

[Q] Quick question about lock screen gestures

Hi guys,
This might be a silly one, but from everything I read the swipe to left with the screen off is supposed to take you to your home screen. For some reason, this is not happening, as it always takes me to the farthest left screen next to the blinkfeed panel. Is this working as intended, or am I missing something?
Thanks,

That's the way it's supposed to be.The screen next to blink feed is the main home screen so it reverts to that one. Mine does the same.

What's the point of having icons on the lock screen?

I can't understand what the point of having the two icons on the bottom corners of the lock screen is. If you press them they don't do anything of course because the phone is locked. Can somebody explain this please?
You can remove them if they are such a nuisance, just saying..

You don't press them, you swipe them up providing instant access to those apps. I love the camera one... not sure why I'd need such fast access to the phone, though.

Thanks that works. DOH! But I have swipe lock set because I still have the factory plastic over my phone until my case and screen protector come. If you have a fingerprint or pin lock or password etc. how do you use those?

the lock icon when swipping down recent app preview

I noticed when I swipe down on the recent icon thingy a lock will appear on the top right hand side of it. What is that and what does it do?
Locking an app prevents it to be killed when u tap the trash (close all apps) icon.
Weird I don't have that option it seems convenient xD Did you have to enable it somewhere or was it like that by default?
You only have to tap on the app and pull it down, and the lock icon will appear.

it kepps that app protected without being killed by the battery manager.
its useful sometimes, bt most of the cases its not working well, those app protected may get killed based on remaing RAM

The padlock icon remains absent when using this technique on Nougat 7.1.2. Does anyone have any other suggestions to make the padlock appear on individual apps in the recent tasks screen?
