Landscape lockscreen? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I would love to attach a screenie.....but it happens so randomly and only lasts a second.
Im presuming that the function is built in because the screen doesnt look all messed up. So does anyone know how to turn Landscape lockscreen on?
Ove looked through the setting but cant see anything? Perhaps im just being a tard?

Android at its core can support a landscape lockscreen. There are a few apps out there that force rotation even when the app doesn't think it should support it. For example, the Netflix app is ALWAYS portrait when in the menu and ALWAYS landscape during video playback, but I used to use an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control", and it allowed it to do the menu in landscape and the video in portrait. I think the same sort of thing would work for you here, but I must admit that it's been a long time since I've used a lockscreen, so I don't know for sure.

Thanks. Ill take a look.

[Q] Phone Call Landscape

I tend to mount my phone in landscape when I'm in the car (it's not a dedicated dock or anything fancy just a basic holder). My question is, I don't see any settings anywhere to make the phone call screen stay in landscape it always forces itself to portrait. Is there a way to prevent it from doing that? It'll stay landscape until you place the call then it'll flip to portrait.
I'm on ShoStock ICS ROM but I don't recall this ever being allowed even on GB or a stock ROM. Thanks!
I have the actual car dock mount and everything so far has stayed landscape EXCEPT while in-call. I think the phone apk just doesn't have a landscape orientation.

well a few times when I go to place a call I'll see it in landscape for a 1/2 second or so and then it'll rotate over to portrait so I have a feeling it "could" do it.
I don't think its possible. Let me try with aokp and I'll let you know.
OK just called my wife. The screen blacked out and would not switch to landscape, even after the screen turned back on. I've also noticed that spotify does this as well. I just don't think the apk has the ability.

AOSP has this ability, I'm pretty sure, but I don't think Touchwiz ROMs can do this.
I think op means to have landscape during a call.
I started a call from landscape and it went to portrait. It tried to switch to landscape.

My mistake. It reverts to portrait and shuts off the screen here too.

Works perfectly on aokp. I leave my phone in landscape in my car. You can even use landscape lock screen on aokp. While in phone app, menu, settings, enable landscape. Done.

Just tested it it only stays in landscape when in the dialer screen but it defaults to portrait on the call in progress screen and stays that way even if i bring up the keypad again.
For the curious, this is what it looks like on AOKP.

Yeap, it works beautiful in AOKP
Hrm...this is helpful but I want to know if it's possible to have tasker enable this setting in the phone apk setting only when docked. I hate answering calls and it rotates to landscape mode. So in other words I only want the phone the phone app to go into landscape mode when the phone is in the car dock.

Weird Text Message Problem

STOCK HTC EVO 3D, Running ICS newest update, Using stock Message app
When I goto respond to a text and press the message area for the keyboard to pop up the text message window increases to a full screen window instead of the smaller window it used to.
Looks like this below, Anyone know how to change it back to the smaller window
Go into keyboard settings. I believe its under landscape settings which is weird why its affecting the portrait mode.

Maybe you have in your SmartConnect App a Profile that is launching the TV-App (or something similar) when you plug in your charger?

Nice. thanks
Radio is now 1.12.11.1119 and 4G is working inside my office building...no more having to go outside it seems.....
Updates to the Gallery. Now when you open it up you can pick the source
Update to the music app. Same with gallery...you can pick the source.
Update to how it handles 4G and WiFi..basically promising to turn them off when it knows it won't need them as opposed to always scanning.
Update to message app. There are more settings for personalization such as changing bubble colors and background
Low res contact fix which is common for all 4.1 I think
Color scheme change from green to blue to match JB
Pin enabled lock screen change
You can open up the maps to see where your pictures were taken
Stock browser has new look and is JB updated
Power saver
Keyboard has been changed up as well. Now can turn off arrows. Can't turn off prediction (well idk how to)
And more stuff...so far what I pointed out is just what I found to be important to me. I just now got to install this >.< I unrooted and updated.
Edit:
The HTC music app widget in the notification area now has the option to go back as well as pause and go forward
Wallpapers no longer scroll (figuring out of this is on purpose or if there's something i need to mess with)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKrJaB6OUvI&feature=youtube_gdata_player If anyone wants to see the update before us rooted people get it. Not my video just throwing that at there.

I was hoping that the ringtone and notification volumes would be separate, but they are not.
Oh well, same old work arounds...
the sound in poweramp mutes temporarily whenver I hit the power button.
Soundhound app button
The soundhound app that was built in now has an icon in the apps tray. Never did before and I had to search for it. I know there was a workaround, I just never got around to doing it.

Does the "OK Google" command work for you? Does touching and holding ur finger pop out the ability to change wallpaper and add widgets come out? If it does, when you try to change wallpaper does it crash?
Just a few issues I had on mine. LG spoiled me with the customizations.

Some widgets are being shown that are not installed but others work fine. Adding a wallpaper by holding down and selecting wallpaper is broken had to by using gallery. OK Google spoken command does work thanks to the snapdragon 800 but Google search crashes :/
The icons are GIGANTIC.
It hurts my eyes and I feel like Google thinks were all blind.

If your "OK Google" is not working... Try this.
Go into Now setting
, then Voice Settings. Go to "Offline Speech Recognition" and then either redownload or update your language. I did this and it works flawlessly now.

How do I shut this OFF, I mean COMPLETELY OFF... I do NOT want my phone listening to me all the time.
Knock on Dead
I set this up quickly, but then killed it because it disabled knock on. Also the nav bar was still the LG one so it kind of looked weird to me. And yes the icons were garrishly large. I liked the 5x5 grid on the stock launcher and this made me feel like I was using a Fischer Price launcher with the huge buttons. The killing blow for me was that I could not switch easily back to stock launcher and had to uninstall the new 4.4 launcher.
if it could work with Knock on, I might give it another go. (unless I was doing something wrong and there s a way to make it work.)

to get nexus 5 camera, and launcher + many other nexus 5 apps. Unfortunately camera only goes up to 8 Mpix and the buttons are mostly obscured by the soft keys, but it is still usable. But it does have photo sphere. Experiment by pressing just above the soft keys to activate functions and learn how to use it since the actual icons are blocked.

Knock on isn't disabled by a launcher. It still works. But to knock off the screen you have to taps twice in the status bar.

If you long press in the middle of the screen you get the options to pop up as well.
So, can "OK google" be installed by itself? Or does it require apks other than google search? What I'm curious about is, does it fully integrate with calender, etc.?And for those that did install it, how is the battery with it on? Can it be turned off, or does it require uninstall?
I have the launcher installed and the Google search and play services. But I cannot for the life of me get OK Google to work.

eh, it's still not a smooth, non-choppy launcher. idk why, but these stock android launchers still randomly get choppy when switching between pages, even if they're not filled with widgets or icons.
