Hello all,
I am looking for a simple application that will allow my Xperia to display the time with a simple button press while on standby.
Currently, when I press the power button to bring the Xperia out of standby, the screen will load with the keypad lock, where I would then enter my PIN to unlock the phone and go to my Today screen. Only problem is that the keypad lock screen doesn't display the time in the top right corner! Therefore, as my Xperia is my watch, I must unlock my Xperia everytime just to open the Today screen to see the clock
Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
I think S2U2 offers this, it comes with it's own locking system. I don't like it though, but many people do.
This should help:
Settings\System\Clock & Alarms\"More" tab --- there you can select to Display the clock on the title bar in all programs -- so you can see the time even if your phone is in locked state.

There is no way to achieve time display in standby.

Yes I know, but he wanted to display the time without need to enter his PIN on the screen with keypad lock.

I'm trying to use Conduits Pocket Player with S2U2 version (1.13), and I'd like to have the hardware buttons (at least volume buttons) working even when S2U2 is active and locks the screen...
There are options in the player to allow buttons mapping even when screen is "locked" or when app is in background, but it looks like the "lock" intended by this app is not S2U2's lock...
I don't know if I made myself clear, but any help would be great!
Thanks!

S2U2 doesn't work very well with Diamond..at least a while ago when i tried it and finally got it set up the way i wanted, i noticed the home button wasn't locked. It doesn't lock the homebutton.. so it's kinda useless..
Maybe your Diamonds auto-lock is on? Every time the screen goes black, it gets locked automatically?
I don't think so.
It is totally useful to lock the screen. To have backlight off but screen on, to have it on but still locked when you touch the screen, in order to see what time it is, and other usages.
I personally never accidentally unlock my phone by using hard buttons, and furthermore do need them to be unlocked to use them while the phone is in my pocket.

I misread your post.. I meant the autolock feature by holding down the end call button.. but it doesn't make any sense, cuz i misread ..
I used to untill I found out it doesn't lock the homebutton. But i might use it if it does now..
Sorry.. couldn't be of any help..
edit: I read something there about custom mapping sound control..maybe it'll help.. first post, all the way down.. but you should ask your question there .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
edit2: installing s2u2 will make side volume control button useless.. so maybe that's it.. check the above link

How?? Speak!!
Just got the diamond2 and am loving it. Came from the touch pro. Problem is I have been pocket dialing while its in my leather case. This is not good, as I am a real estate salesperson and it is calling some important people. Does anyone have a solution? BTW, I was using touch lock pro on the touch pro.
Thanks!
hi lorettaboy
you should lock the kets by holding the end call button for a few seconds and that should sort your problem out
I forget what it's called but there is this locking software that will completely lock the phone if you rotate it around the long axis one way and unlock if you do the same the other way.
I have been using throttle lock though. It is like the Android unlock screen where you draw patterns.
If u press the power on/off button for a second, the screen goes off.....isnt it ok to avoid your problem?

I think what may be happening is that the power button is being pressed while in the case unlocking the phone and keys. I had this happen before and still does sometimes when in my pocket.
4 characters: S2U2
Hoping wm6.5 features a lock that's as functional as S2U2.
I personally use http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/ It locks your phone when its closed, and you have different ways to 'wake' it. the 3 that I set it currently is:
1. if the phone is in the case (aka dark) it will not unlock even if phone is ringing, but once you remove it from the sleeve/pouch it will be unlocked.
2. If its night time and the above prevents you from unlocking in the night, shaking phone left to right once will unlock it
3. lastly if I take out stylus it will unlock.

Googled it, light sensor lock sounded interesting, tested it. Never got the light sensor unlock to work. Had to keep tapping the lock button for a varying number of times to unlock. But worse: got catch-22-ed twice within ten minutes.
The first time I got caught with the screen on, the 'turn off' dialog active, and Touch lock Pro active but not clickable because of the turn off dialog. No way to unlock the device and the power button was hijacked by Touch Lock Pro. Removed back cover, took out battery and restarted.
The second time the device locked with the screen off, and the power button couldn't turn the screen on again. No way to find out what happened this time. Removed back cover, took out battery and restarted.
This tool is possibly the least compatible tool with the TD2 you will ever find

go to Setting --> Display --> and adjust Screen timeout
Same problem... if I wake the device, the screen stays black until I touch the screen on the right place (unlockslider).

I have the same problem, the screen stays black when I wake the device or a call comes in while it is locked. When I touch the screen where the slider is to unlock it, the screen turn on.
Is there a way to make the screen turn on when I press a button to wake it, or a call comes in?
I am using FRX06 "out of the box".

worked perfectly
When the phone is locked, and I press power button, the screen wakes up and it shows clock and date. If I touch (mostly accidentally) the clock, the phone links me to another screen with just the clock and date from which I can't slide up to call a pattern screen to unlock my phone but I have to press a "<" sign on the bottom right of the screen to get back to the "main" lock screen. It drives me nuts! I want to turn it off but I don't know how. I have stock andorid v10 with stock OneUI v2.5
Anyone knows?
I'm totally in the same boat!
I can already see the time and date, what's the point! So infuriating! Did you ever resolve this matter?

yo bois, has any of y'all resolved this issue? I have the S21U and it has this ****ty thing ._.
I have my P5 which I love. But there's one annoying thing about it that I can't figure out how to toggle: When I turn off the display by clicking the power button, then when I touch the (now turned off) display again (eg whwen putting the phone in my pocket) it turns on in an "unlocked" state. The padlock on the top of the screen is unlocked and I can interact with whatever apps are displayed on my lock screen. If I turn off the display and put the phone down on a table then (at least after a while) when I double click the display it turns on and the padlock is now displayed locked and I can interact with anything until I actually unlock it using the fingerprint sensor.
So my question is: Is there any way I can make the phone lock immediatly and completely when I switch off the display by clicking the power button?
Thanks in advance

Actually yes. But I had that switched on but as it says: "Except when kept unlocked by Smart lock". That I had missed. Smart lock was switched on and I hope that was the culprit. It is now switched off
Thanks for the help!
