Hi all.. I find when i have my 360 as a trusted device on my phone, the blue tooth range is too powerful. example - it works over 10-15meters away.
i dont want my watch to unlock the phone unless im only 3-5m away..
help.....
I don't know a direct solution to your problem but a good work around is that if you click the unlock button on the lock screen before walking away, the device will stay locked and require a PIN before it can be opened again, even though its still paired with the trusted device. Very handy if you just wanna leave your phone for a few minutes but not going to be far enough away for it to disconnect from the watch or don't want to turn off the trusted devices feature.

Im guessing by screensaver you mean screen turns off/dims?
Which ROM are you using and what screensaver app are you running?

yes i mean the dim/ blank screen
not sure about the rom but the phone is box standard no other apps have been put on it apart from this work application
screen is normally on, dims after few seconds manbe 1 minute, then goes blank (or like a sleep mode) however this sleep mode is where the problems start
thanks guys any help will be appreciated.

huh?? this thread doesnt say "htc touch hd" ?
how bout you provide a VALUABLE reply instead of this nonsense.
anyone got any update on this? i believe tomtom stops working also when this screen saver kicks in please help me out
as it is draining my battery life
How do your messages come through? Are they via sms? If so you can use an app called HD Tweak to wake device on new message. As for TT, perhaos invest in a car charger and then you don't have to worry about the battery.

I know this is not much of a solution but if you go to settings tab -- all settings (bottom left corner) and then in the middle tab (cant remember the name) --- power.
in here, go to the 3rd (last tab) and there you can disable the screen dimming and and sleep mode (first 2 options) by unchecking them
I am also using TomTom in the car at the moment and yes it does drain the battery...i think that asides from getting a car charger (they're cheap - just look for a in-car USB charger and use your USB cable), the best alternative is to let the screen dim, but NOT switch off. So let your screen turn off its backlight, and that should extend your battery life considerably.
Also, maybe try some of the solutions listed in this thread:

(i got that from a forum-wide search)
Good luck
ok guys bit more info
not worried about tomtom working whilst screen off that was just a example i gave, however my chaeffer work software does not ring/alert me when the screen is locked
now the software works via gprs and log's into my office server when they get the booking it gets logged into there system and routinly passed down to the drivers
i have a car charger but the problem is i am not in the car all the time, or near a mains supply only go to the car when booking come through
now is this a programming issue by the company i work for? if so, what could be done to correct this?
i am looking at some after market apps play around with them and see how i get on.
thanks you for all your help so far
Ever since my phone came back from repair my touchscreen has been going crazy when I try browse through the internet. It starts typing on its on, selecting random links moving the page up and down and so on. Does anyone know what the issue could be? Its perfectly fine on everyting else only the browser and sometimes facebook app.
I contacted sony and they said send us the phone and we will update it but I can do that myself and dont wat to be without phone for another week.
Does it happen when charger (wall/USB) is plugged in? Few times when I had just my iPhone 4 wall adapter around I tried to use it with Arc, it did charge the phone but screen went totally crazy just like yours but it was everywhere not just the browser. Using the shipped adapter/cable theres no problem.
No phone is not plugged in. Its very starnge cause phone works perfectly but as soon as I want to browse the internet the screen starts acting up.
Just been playing around and the phone is completely fine wen its charging or the usb is connected. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I cant send it to sony since its bootloader unlocked.
I need a original wall adpter, I lose it

I sometimes get a similar problem, but it's happening everywhere, not only in the browser. Very annoying, especially on the homescreen... it seems just to think someones touching it here and there all the time and all going mad with this. ^^
However, I can always solve it by turning the screen off and on again.

I had exactly the same with my previous arc, now it seems the problem is gone but it's only a week i broke the last one but my operator change it. Always had to turn the screen on and off..
The only problem and it's really often and annoying is that the bar at the top of the browser stop to load at the middle and never finish to load with blank page, i press cancel and then refresh and in less than 1 secondes i'm on the page like everything was loaded up but not the graphic part....
I sent my phone back to repair, hopefully they fix it and dont find out that my bootloader was unlocked before.
I believe that is from heat... I get that problem three times.. Just screen off and on.. And its fine.
i have turned screen off and on hundreds of times and still same. I think its something to do with the usb connector since it works fine when connected. Guess ill find out tomorrow.
I have this error a lot, the screen reads "ghost touches" sometimes, it receives constant input at certain part of the screen. sometimes locking and unlock the phone doesnt help, need to reboot.
There's problem with the accuracy of touches near the edges of the screen as well, touches NEAR the edge are received as input AT the edge, this makes it extremely hard to operate the phone.
If you don't understand what I'm saying, go play "Cut the Rope" and try to tap the restart button at the corner, it's freaking hard to get it.
I have visited the SE service center in Singapore, the staff says that there is no problem with the screen, but when i test all the display sets in shops, all has the same issue, so all have the same problem = no problem..
I never had that problem with the screen before so I dont think everyone phone has this issue.

Then you are extremely lucky. I can't prove if all xperia arc have this problem, only tried it with around 20 sets, maybe just nice only that 20 sets have problem.
So I've searched and I couldn't find any info on this problem.
I have the Pioneer Appradio 2 in-dash unit in my car, and now when i hook up the phone to the unit everything that i see on the phone is duplicated on the Appradio's screen, and this is awesome cuz i can access any app that i want and it looks great!
However the touchscreen of the appradio is disabled, and I can't use it. I still have to control everything from the phone.
I was wondering if theres an app or something that allows touchscreen access to the unit hooked up to the phone.
Now when i press on the appradio screen i get a little hand that has a cross on top of it...
Here is what the screen looks like right now.
for some reason it wont let me upload pics...
Hi,
Just wanted to ask a quick question and get some opinions on roms if possible. The plan is to turn the wifes old evo into a dashboard for use when sim-racing (iracing) There is an app that you can download for android and the pc running iracing, that pulls data from the game and sends it to the phone over the local network.
First thing I am wondering. Is there any way at all to modify the phone to be able to run permanently wired, and without the battery? The plan is to mount the phone onto the steering wheel itself, just below the top of the rim, between the drivers thumbs. Id like to make the phone as light as possible to reduce inertia. I already plan to dis-assemble the phone and lose as much of the casing as I can.
Next is the rom. Any thoughts on what would be the best ROM for my situation? My only concerns are stability, ability to run the iracing dashboard app, ability to turn off screen rotation, ability to leave the screen on constantly. Battery life--- If I am unable to hard wire the phone, and have to run off the battery.
If this has been asked and I missed it in search, my bad.
thanks for any help
I set up my ZenWatch as a trusted device and it is showing that its being used. The strange thing is when my phone is on my desk and the screen sleeps for some time or if I am in the car (I also have my car stereo setup as trusted) it still asked for my fingerprint to unlock. Any idea why this is? My last device didnt do this. I am also using the Google Now Launcher if that matters at all.
Does it always ask for your fingerprint? I think it will ask the first time for your fingerprint and not on subsequent times while you are connected to a trusted device.

Mine did the same thing with my Gear S. It hasn't happened today so it may have been fixed in the update.

Not allways, but after about 15 minutes or so of it sitting it will once I press the home button to turn the screen on.
If your watch at any point, loses connection to your phone, it will trigger the smart lock off. Even if it reconnects again on its own before you use the phone again. Once smart lock is tripped, it can't go back without authorization.

Just thought I'd clear this up in case anyone was wondering. When you connect to a trusted device, the lock automatically disables. I use mine with my car's bluetooth. The second it connects, phone unlocks automatically.
