I am posting this here, as this is not a question about the accessory but more a question about software widgets.
First off, I love this style cover. It looks and feels nice, plus it adds another level of functionality to the phone. I do have two questions if anyone has the experience with it.
1. How do you add more widgets than what is offered to you? There is no weather widget option and no SMS widget option. The Xperia Style Cover widget will show you that you have SMS messages but there is no way to scroll to see them. You can add an email widget and scroll through email, just not sms.
2. My Xperia Style Cover Widget shows I have "received message" but there are no messages on my device. Anyone else experience this?
No one else has the style cover?
Where do you buy it? I'd get one

I got mine new on EBay for $40.
I've a also just bought this case. My lock screen with the case on says I have 2 unread messages but I don't. Plus you can't get them to open from the cover screen
That is my problem too. Looking at the box it should even show a preview line of text. I can't figure it out.
You have to install a style cover theme, as well as activate NFC iirc to "install" the cover. Then you can add widgets by scrolling (left) to an empty slot with the cover closed.

Yep, done all of that still doesn't work.
I read somewhere else that it only works when you have hangouts as your default sms app, so u did that then added the widget to the home screen of the cover for an error that comes up saying widget no longer available
Same here. I have the cover correctly installed, but the SMS feature does not work nor is there a widget for it to work. I have the calendar, email, and weather (Accuweather) widgets all up and running fine.
I search every couple of months in case someone has developed a good widget for it.
No joy
Weather widget.
I just bought one, and i cannot figure out a way to put the weather widget, any help please ?
I am running android 6.0 By The Way .
Check Chronus. Or Chronus with DashClock extensions. It offers much more than weather.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to display my upcoming apointments on the lockscreen. I heard there was a app that could do this, but I forgot the name and I can't find the link anymore at the forum it was posted. I found some other apps but they don't seem to work with sense.
If somebody knows a way to do this, please tell me. Opening the calander is annoing and I want to see what I got coming up when I wake up the phone. The screen is just being empty anyway
why dont you place calendar widget on the main screen? the same thing, but you just have to unlock the phone..
Because there is not enough room. I got the clock/weather thing there and 8 shortcuts to the apps I use most (phone, contacts, internet etc) so there is no room left to place a widget. I now got the small calender widget on the next panel along with apps I user a bit less often. Its not ideal but I guess I have to manage as I learned creating a lockscreen app is pretty much impossible as there are no options for this in the SDK.
For me it works a lot better to have it on the lockscreen because that way I can see what appointments I got without having to do anything. I will see it everytime I turn on the phone which is a great way not to forget.
Is is worth to find a room for 4x1 widget and you can use e.g. "Agenda Widget". In 4x1 widget it's showing 4 next appointments and for me it is great.
That might work. What is the name? If I search agenda widget in the market I can only find things like calender widget.
Even if the topic is old, I think that others looking for it can find it useful. In my opinion, this the best calendar/appointment widget set. A lot of customizations and flexibility.

Is it possible to have upcoming events from the calendar on the lockscreen?
I'd like to keep teh TW lockscreen.
Maybe via modding? eg replacing the stocks ticker or the news ticker?
Does anyone know if this would be possible?
up , i need this option

I know you want to keep the TW lockscreen...but alternatively, I use Widget Locker lockscreen with Android Agenda Widget. (back since my HD2 days)
TRUST ME...I have owned widget locker for several years and watched it progress. It runs absolutely FLAWLESS on my S3. It has TONS of options/switches to make your every scenario happen without glitches. And there are so many choices for sliders etc.
Anyway, Agenda Widget has many options as well....actually so many it can be quite confusing. I have it listing my next 6 calendar events with TODAYS current events bold and brighter. So when I turn my screen on....that's 1 single button push....I can see my days events...if I have them. To me, this si fast and efficient.
I keep a Handcent widget on it for reading my recent text message...again...1 click....and several sliders including one that opens my camera for quick scenario photo taking. Widgets are overlap-able and resizable etc. (I am not affiliated...just proud)
Widget locker has only one bug which is very annoying.
If you get a Msg, and you've set the Pop Up to come, try unlocking the screen.
The pop up would display for a very short time before WL.
This doesn't happen with TW lockscreen.

Hi all
I recently got the Razr Maxx (GSM) and have updated it to ICS so long.
I noticed it has an icon on one of the homescreens for "Camcorder". I don't want to delete this icon, because I cannot find it anywhere (app drawer/widgets). How would I get this shortcut if I remove it? I know you can reach it via "Camera", but just wondering.
Also, there was a weather widget on the screen. I can find the widget in this widgets tab, but only for a larger weather widget which displays the city (but it is part of same app). The one already on the screen displays only the temperature and a weather icon (so it is smaller). This smaller widget is nowhere to be found, again I don't want to remove it until I know it can be replaced. Oh and it is not a resizable widget - so it's not just the larger one resized.
I know these are petty questions, but just wondering.
Any ideas?

try restarting the phone and see if it pops up, this is a known bug with the razr running ICS that I hope it will be fixed in JB
Thanks for the prompt reply! I did restart my phone earlier but still nothing. Scared to remove them.. Are other icons/widgets affected?

I really like what google has brought to the table to compete with siri. Google now is a really useful add on to android, however with the HTC one, i am having problems with the appearance of the widget. I made a new page for my homescreen and put in the google now widget. The widget page that comes up says that the widget is 4x4 and will take up the whole screen. However, when I place the widget on the page, it only displays 2, single, 4x1 cards, the traffic and the weather. I tried going into the settings to see if I could customize is so that I could rearrange the order, or possibly have the weather card be 4x2, but it does not seem like you can. Am i missing something, or is there anything I can do to fix this?
I had the same issue. The sense launcher seems to handle widget sizes really weird. I had a single icon widget with a unread counter on it, it wouldn't line up with other icons. Swap to Nova launcher and everything works as expected.

You can actually resize it to 4x1 easily after it's dropped on the screen. But you're right, it's weird.
Hi!
After 2 years I am finally back from iOS to Android 4.4.2 on my new Nexus 5.
I flashed the newest version Paranoid Android and now I am seeking for a lockscreen layout that can replace the iOS lockscreen notifications I got really used to.
Dashclock combined with Dash Notifier seems like a good alternative but I now have some strange lockscreen behaviour of which I don't know if it's normal or because of some settings I missed.
Every time I expand / shrink for security code input I see a semi transparent white rectangle (as seen in the pictures attached).
Is this normal? If not is there any setting I missed, if yes, is there any possibility to avoid this? I don't use any lockscreen replacement at the moment...
Thanks!

i stumbled upon dashclock widget and it's extensions last night and tried it out and pretty impressed by it .the problem you pointed out seems the feature of it that a semi white box shows up on lockscreen actually it's part of expanding or shrinking the dashclock. Actually i had a question for you if you could take a look at this link and tell me how to set up dashclock notifier right next to the clock widget as seen in that pic? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51150628&postcount=1237
