[Q] Lock screen sound gone in 4.0? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For the life of me, I can't seem to find how to activate the screen off sound. I have the crt anim from the update .368 and settings option for screen sound unlock is ticked. Screen unlock has sound but screen off/lock does not work. Anyone?

"Screen off and lock" works fine with me. I always use this app since the power botton a little hard to push.

Just a gentle reminder: Try to answer directly to the questions posted and not your suggestion to a different application or what you do when someone is having issue.

I use that in my x10 mini but still it does not work with the 4.0 update for arc. And I would like to limit installing apps just for simple things.

Actually I don't know what is stock anymore. Hahaha! Too much mod. I guess I got it from crt anim mod from apps and themes section.
The lock.ogg and unlock.ogg files are present in the /system/media/sounds/ui so i think it should be working as stock in 4.0?

I will answer my own question for the sake of the community.
SE somehow changed the default locked.ogg to a dummy sound, no sound actually. Then changed the framework in settings menu to show only unlock sound will be activated. I fixed it by replacing the default locked.ogg to a different one. You can use unlocked.ogg. Just back it up somewhere then rename to locked.ogg and replace. They are located in /system/media/sounds/ui

Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning 'screen off/lock'. Sorry again because English is not my native language.

How do you change the Lockscreen Wallpaper?

Although it says in Settings > Personalize "Choose... lock screen wallpaper", there is no way to actually change the image. On earlier versions of HTC Sense for Android you could have a different picture on the lock screen and as a wallpaper, but not now. Another backward step or am I missing something?
I saw it also, the information is still in the user manual by the way, but not possible.
Is there a way to have the weather widget on lockscreen?
Thanks for your help
Nothing on my menus for lock screen...would be nice but tbh I'm not that fussed
I want to be able to change it too. I rather liked that feature on my Hero

I downloaded LockBotPro... its a good app an there's a decent amount of customization you can do to the lock screen... add your own wallpaper, lock slider & sound effect but shame its not compatibile with the AndWobble app, that would of made it a thousand times better
Is it possible to have live/animated lock screen themes with LockBotPro?

great app, but how can I upgrade to pro, when the market is not opened for paid apps?
EDIT: Sorry, I see now I can't...until it's rooted at least...

Not sure, but i would hardly imagine anyone having a go at it, people are trying to run away from live wallpapers to save up some battery life
This feature worked for me, and was present in the settings menu. ALthough I noticed at some point that my lockscreen image was not what I set it to, and the menu option was not there anymore......
I went back expecting the menu option to be there but it wasn't. Wonder whats going on. The feature was there and it worked for me...

Lock screen

Is there anyway to change this, to a slide bar or something?
Just come from a HD2 running stock desire rom and the current SGS2 one seems a bit...naff in comparison.
Try widgetlocker. Slide to unlock plus slide to any app

WidgetLocket works perfectly and when activated stops the default locker from appearing.

Perfect, thanks
Adding the stock lockscreen is very complicated, requires editing of the framework.jar and android-services.jar aswell as framework res.
I will begin work on it once we have fully functional deodexed rom

Do you think you will be able to do it? Really don't like using bolt on lock screens like widgetlocker.
Depends how similar to the origional sgs the java files are. That's the complicated bit. Waiting on cwm for backups and deodexed rom, then work will begin

If you haven't given widget locker a go yet I would try it.
It's even better if you've rooted and increased your lcd density somewhat (192 seems good to me). I love being able to unlock straight to SMS, Email & camera, while being able to use torch mode without unlocking too... etc.
The old lock screen is still on in the background. Sometimes it flashes up when I unlock. Is it a bad idea to disable through Widget Locker?
I love widget locker, but I'm finding it a pain - my home button first start bypassing it, then when I figured that fix out, hold it down still activates the task manager grr
WidgetLocker is great - I've been using it for about a year but only found out the other day that you can get custom themes for the sliders, and because they're mostly just zipped up image files it was relatively easy to customise.

This is the 5 second problem. It's discussed in the Widget Locker documentation (and in the settings menus too).
If you root your phone you can get rid of it once and for all. Otherwise Homehelper is supposed to maybe help, but I never managed to completely get rid of the system lock screen till I rooted as you can't override the 5 second thing.

Okay. Planning on rooting my advice so may try that. Cheers. What is home helper? Do you mean root helper?
Widgetlocker on my O2 branded unrooted SG2 worked perfectly. However, now I have rooted it and flashed the unbranded firmware the home button overrides it meaning just pressing the home button twice unlocks the phone.
Anyone else with this issue? I have checked to make sure the option to allow the home button to unlock is unticked.
Edit - Ignore me, forgot the Homehelper needed to be set as default.

DO you think it would be possible to add Cyanogen's unlock screen (with rotary unlock and stuff) or would that be even harder ?
I would love to see the AOSP lock screen pop up on the SGS2.
my vote is the puzzle unlock from some sgs models.

That one is built into Widget Locker if you don't mind using that. Given the power and battery life on the phone I'm quite happy to do that. Although my resource reporting apps show Widget Locker as quite a hog.
I hate the Widget locker icon in the notification area. It makes me sad.

Somehow lost my keyboard haptics and CRT screen-off effect

I think these issues started after I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, though I can't remember.
I originally turned off haptic keyboard feedback but then decided to try again the other day. It doesn't matter what the setting is in keyboard options, there is no haptics. I can still feel the phone vibrate when I unlock it or get a message though.
And I'm not sure how I lost the CRT screen-off animation. Any ideas on how I can get it back?

For the screen off animation, go to Developer options in Settings and set the Windows animation scale to "Animation scale 1x". See if that helps.
same here except I'm not rooted or anything

Great, thanks. I was messing around in Dev options, thought I had reversed everything though.
Still don't have any keyboard haptics though, any ideas?

4.0 Lockscreen redundancy

So I was wondering what everyone with ICS is doing about the redundant camera slider shortcut? Since we can quick start it by just keypress.
Anybody change it up? I've been looking at widget locker, but that's money out of my pocket.

Apparently is an ICS thing, not particular to the Ion software. I've searched around, and couldn't find a way to change it back to how GB used to be, with the mute option. But if you hold down the power button, even in the lock screen, you´ll get the option to toggle vibrate and mute, besides powering down the device.
I guess as soon as we can decompile and recompile the framework-res and be able to install it on the ion without force closing we can change the behavior of the lock screen shortcut.
In addition to that, I have noticed that, I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but the notification bar can still be pulled down in the lockscreen. I use notification toggles, so it is easy to pull that down and do any configuration without actually unlocking the phone.
On that note, not meaning to thread jack, but is it normal to be able to pull down the notification bar from the lockscreen?

In ICS, I'm pretty sure that is standard operating procedure.

Unless you have a lock of some sort set, in which case you should not be able to pull it down.

s20 ultra, edge lighting efffect issue

I know its a small issue, but for some reason its bugging the hell out of me. I have the s20 ultra, on edge lighting only 2 out of the 11 effects work, (basic and glitter). am I missing something??
Do the effects not work during the preview?
Did you by any chance turned on "remove animation" option under the visibility enhancement setting?

It works now, You were right, apparently their are 2 remove animation buttons, 1 in visibility enhancements and 1 in advanced features. and they both work independently of each other. The 1 in advanced features was turn on.
Thanks for the responses for both of you guys. I appreciate it.
Wrong thread, sorry.
