opening screen bitmapped - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

When i turn my XDA 2i on the opening information screen with all my details, the header which says my info or something like that, is all bitmapped. When I do a soft reset its ok until i switch it off and back on again then it does it again. Any ideas people?

what do you mean bitmapped ?
you mean that you dont want it to display your info when you turn on your device?
or do you mean some bitmapped as in artifacts on the screen ?
or do you mean the splashscreen when you softreset your device ?

HTC HD Keypad/Phonepad & Clock Requests/Questions/Glitches

Hi Guys,
Find below some screenshots of my Touch HD to give you an idea of what i'm looking for.
I've looked all round the forum but cant seem to find what i'm after.
Well on the 1st shot, I got the black phone pad which I love but if you look on the bottom left hand corner (highlighted)... I have "Call Hi..." Over lapping the video call option and everytime I press this button it always goes into the call history! This was also happening when I had the normal factory phone pad! Is there a fix for this out there somewhere?
Secondly, if you look at the 2nd screenshot. You see the normal T9 phone keypad... i'm wanting this in the same black format as the phone pad in screenshot 1 etc... is there a cab out there to change this also?!
And finally, in screen shot 3 & 4 you'll see the clock that I have... im looking to have this changed so that it looks like the clock in screenshot 4 (but obviously bigger but still shows the date and if there is an alarm set up... does anyone know of a way to change this or of a cab to do this for me? (I have added a 5th screenshot to show wat im after for the clock... it was done in paint.. and yes I know... it was a poor attempt... but at least you get the idea )
Thanks in advanced

If someone has enough free time I would love to see the windows lock buttons when entering pass to unlock to be colored black for example. I hate those white buttons.

changing backround image -> too bright?

Hi there...
I just got mine and first thing I wanted to change was the background image.
1) disabled TouchFlo3D in settings->home>elements
2) tried to set background image
my problem: The background image appears very bright almost white, so i cant really see it and because it is so white i almost cant read any words...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
AO
any idea ? no one?
bump it up, baby
use the pic and video viewer and select the picture (you know hold your finger or stylus so it does the lil circle thing) then pick the set as today background option and it will let you set the transparency level it will only work with the standard WM screen (thats what i call the screen from the wing anyway) and not touch flo

Hey, you posted this same question on another thread in the Themes section. It's already been answered. Don't start multiple threads going forward please. It just makes a mess and it seems you can't even track all of them when they've been responded to.
ok... sry ..
And thanks for the answer: worked well!

[Q] Contact picture after the update

I saw on engadget site that the contact picture is shown full screen, see the post below:
http://engadget.com/2011/05/19/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-arc-getting-android-2-3-4-update-next
but even after the update to 2.3.3 my contacts picture it is still small, see below:
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-with-android-2-3-3.html
any ideea how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mugur

i tried it and it's not seems to be the problem
As far as I know from my neo (not arc)....
1. Picture from facebook contact will be small
2. Picture selected from Gallery or by photo will be Bigger almost half of the screen << Arc might be full screen ?
ps It's like even before upgrade .
that is not true, you will not get the full screen contact picture. look at the video on the SE blog post below
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/05/26/update-on-facebook-inside-xperia/
If I change the picture from Facebook (corner of the screen) with a picture from the camera it wil be only half screen (not full screen like in engadget and even Sony Ericsson site). I have an Arc. Anyone knows how to enable Facebook notifications on locked screen?

maybe that one was the prototype version and they found that there were problems and hence took it out? TBH I don't really know. but just assumptions. Because the youtube video by SE shows corner..so I am taking that the final version doesn't have it and there isn't anything wrong with your version.
on a side note..has anyone tried to lock the phone using a lock pattern or a PIN? does it work? for me the pattern screen or PIN keypad does not appear even when I set the lock...

Unlock patern works for me.
You have to check a box that determines when the lock pattern should be required: 1) @ power up, 2) after a screen sleep, etc. This is on the lock pattern setup dialog.

There is no such setting in Xperia Arc!
In location and security you can "Set up screen lock". you have 3 options: pattern, PIN or password. For me works without any problems

even in Sony Ericsson site about Facebook integration there is a similar picture with the one on engadget:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/services/facebook-inside/overview?cc=gb&lc=en
What do you think? How can we make full screen contact pictures?
Perhaps it's just a publicity photo and the function to have full screen contact pictures just does not exist.
I have to say that its the only thing that disappointed me from the update. I was expecting the same functionality as the x10 where hi res pics were synced from facebook with the Timescape implementation there.

From the Home screen, tap the Application screens icon.
Find and tap Settings > Location & security > Set up screen lock.
Select an option.

Open home screen and press power and volume down at the same time to get screen shot, then, when posting here, scroll down below text to 'manage attachments'.
BTW, is it the same as this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63964658&postcount=532 ? I remember it being reported, but I don't think there were any answers.
tnx I made a screenshot, but there is no option to put the picture here

I need help

I use this ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/android-9-0-pie-galaxy-s5-t3831240
I changed something called "Screen dimming" in the settings (or blackout, I don't exctly know I use diffrent language on my phone) after that screen became completely black. It turns on for a short period of time after restarting the phone. How can I disable this setting? Is there a way to reset settings from PC without deleting data?
