Has anybody seen something like this before? (See attached screenshot)
I've somehow developed a black square over the right hand side of the taskbar. As you can see, it covers half the signal strength icon, the battery icon and the task switcher. OK and close buttons manage to appear over the top when necessary, which stops it from being catastrophic.
I think it's come about from over-enthusiastic tweak installing, probably from something designed for TF3D that doesn't translate to regular WinMo. Or something.
It looks like it ought to be a reg key that needs deleting/altering, but I'm a bit gun shy about causing further damage.
An R2A install isn't far off anyway, which ought to kill it.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I'm a veteran Xda-er having had 3 I's ( I lose them!) and now a II (love it) but I'm new to this forum lark!!
On the menu bar at the very top of the screen on occasion an icon appears that I cannot identify in any of the documentation.
The icon seems to appear at randon times, and on soft reset, sometimes disappearing almost imediately sometimes lingering for several seconds. The only way to descibe it is as a small head and shoulders icon with a cross inside and a curved 'telephone' below to the left! Sorry for the rubbish description, but hopefully someone will know what I mean, I have attached a pic.
if someone could let me know what (if anything) it means that'd be great, cheers

As far as I know it means you cannot make a voice call whilst that is displayed i.e. when you are downloading over GPRS it seems to come up. I might be wrong but I'm sure thats what it is
seems to make sense
cheers
This is the program icon of IA CallerID.
Right, and that it pops up every now and then is just damn useless...

hi guys
i thought it was something to do with the memory because when it comes up the phone is very slow to respond.

I'm not sure about most of you but I have a hard time remembering what the Icons om my Programs screen all mean. No I admit, most are pretty clear but I'm not always sure, beneath each square-with-icon, there is some space left and I wonder why there's not a possibility to show a short description there. Are there solutions out there.
As this sort of ruins the nice clean display, I could also imagine a mechanism where one could touch an icon to see a description first, before e.g. touching again to activate and run, maybe taht would be more elegant.
Unrelated somewhat, I'm also wondering if the number of icons on this screen can be increased.
Dude, why do you have bubble breaker 2 times at your Programs Screen??
Man... you are sharp
I changed my screen with an editor as I had an application there that I didn't want to show to the world (nothing spectacular but, let's say, it wasn't 100% legal software. I know... I shouldn't do that but I'm still playing with apps to see which ones I like and which ones I don't. I did already buy the stuff that I do like).
So, summarizing: excellent observation but plse ignore, it's not real
My question still stands however.
hi there.
week old owner of the x1. So far loving the phones but some small stuff is quite annoying.
1. it seems like the phone came with a layer of plastic under the protective layer. the frustrating thing is that the layer below doesn't fully cover the whole screen, leaving some space and i ended up some lints underneath.
Is it okay if i take it off, I'm kinda scared to mess up my $800 phone?
2. my battery seems like it barely lasts a whole day....the body keeps getting warm and I have wifi, bluetooth offf. but if the phone's warm that surely means theres program running, no?
thanks for the help
Hi,
Not sure what you mean by the protective layer but I may be able to help with number 2
By default, hitting the "x" doesnt close the program, it keeps it running the in the background. Hit the task manager icon in the top right (3 horiz lines with an small triangle pointing up) and see what programs are running. You may find you have all sorts like the sms managers / picture viewers etc.
You can change the setting so the "x" closes the app - go to Settings -> Task Manager -> Button Tab -> and select the option "End Programs by tapping X
or alternatively you could press and hold x to close the program (I find it easier to change the option tho!)
Cheers - Hope its some sort of help!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and just installed the 3VO ROM.
This was an issue I had with my Dash 3G even when I was on WM 6.1 - but I notice that when I'm in the Start Menu, the text in top black bar at the top of the screen which has the Time, Signal, Battery Meter, etc. disappears? Because I have my start menu titles disabled, it's a little difficult to navigate because I can't see what any program/folder is called.
It seems like it's being forced to the left; it recenters once I reboot my phone - but otherwise, I don't know what's up. I can post a screenshot if my description's a little ambiguous.
Thanks!
I am on vacation so please forgive the lack of pictures to show my ideas this vacation has been rather stressy so i am back on my concept ideas and overall ideas.
First we have a design idea i've noticed the frame around my z1 is fairly strong and scratch resistant so i think it could wrap around the entire back of the phone for a single unibody construction it would also eliminate my concern displeasure that the phone is held together by glue at the back, it would also be completely airtight in the back as there would be no opening, I'd assume it would be more durable aswell.
another idea would be remaking the flaps to lock into place when closed to open you press something, or drag something or maybe magnetic locking, but maybe that wouldn't work with the rubber. I also think if possible that the phone could have a water sensor so it knows when it is submerged, where it enters a sticky keys like feature for the screen so you can use it under water so it takes hard presses to register something water wouldn't be capable of, the phone would also know when the flaps are open or closed and instantly warn if it get's in contact with water with one of them open like vibrating constantly and having an alarm with the screen flashing, it may not always save a phone but it would be useful in my opinion as you'll notice before actually submerging the entire phone if the sensor can be located around the frame but then comes the design problem, unless the sensor can be hidden allong the light stripe idea somehow, if not it could be one small sensor, perhaps the sensor could be located inside the flaps.
A special magnetic dock charger that works with all xperia devices that comes with a remote and inbuilt strong speakers with bass, aswell as a screen with multi color backlight indicating charge time music playing etc would be worth alot aswell too me, I'd pay 200 for something like that.
Lastly I have some more ui ideas they are more personal wishes though
First the notification bar as you know, fills up rather quickly with icons for each app notifying you resulting in it being completely full often, so my idea is simple, one icon with a number next too it showing how many apps that are notifying you, or simply a number.
I also want to be able to hide any notification bar icons for example i don't always need to know the reception I'd rather have that in the drop down menu i would only want it to show when there's one or two bars or simply as a warning on bad reception.
Then theres the softkeys theres alot of ideas and changes I want to make as you know the apps icon replacing the home icon on the home screen, but then theres the back and recent apps button, First off a back button in the home screen does nothing it just sits there it dosnt even turn the phone off it simply sits there filling up space, so here's a few ideas, unless Google are the only ones to be able to do such changes, or if there's a rule against such changes.
1. back button should only show when theres something to back from,* another crazy idea would be a softkey power button in the corner of the home screen replacing the back button, the most crazy idea would be getting rid of a phones power button entirely as theres tap to wake up now, only if it worked when the phone was off, honestly having a power button in the corner would not be very clean too me but it's an idea,* what would be more my preference is the turn off menu in the drop down bar.
I would also like more sony apps like compass or other useful features could call it sony smart tools or sony smart apps, Power user apps like cache cleaner ram freeing would also be great, my dad's LG g2 has a free ram app.
A silent life log app that syncs everything you do and visit in the cloud would also be fun, like using trackid to record which music you were listening to that day when you visited a national park etc, unless such a feature is too consuming.
Then theres recent apps theres two ways this could work,* my first idea was to just remove the recent apps button when there's no recent apps, it would only show when theres recent apps in it, my second idea is to hold down the apps icon to access recent apps instead of having a separate button for it, personally I want to be able to close or minimize apps so they won't end up in recent apps, when i don't want them to.
I guess i want it as clean as possible I think getting rid of an actual power button all together would be a good idea too, at least for me as it would make a phone look nicer more modern, it would also give space for something else.
I guess i want dynamic softkeys,* we have keys on a screen but they work just like physical touch buttons,* they are permanent 90 percent of the time i want to change that, as you practically get the same experience with actual capacitive buttons virtual buttons are not utilized properly in my opinion.
My other idea would be freedom in screen rotation, I use an app so I can use my phone upside down and due to the omnibalance design it feels and looks natural, not having a sony logo makes it impossible to tell if it's upside down or not, so i think all phones should have that freedom by default, I also think there should be a tablet ui for landscape on all sony phones I'd love to have the soft keys at the bottom when in landscape, i was highly dissapointed when i found out I couldn't use my z1 in landscape until I found an app for it.
I also don't think the menu should cast any shadow at all the screen should not darken it would then feel more like the menu is just icons and not a separate menu screen which is what I am aiming at uniformity, i would also get rid of the dot at the top next to the text about which order you have your icons set in, the icons are all fairly pushed in the middle I want them to use up the screen, so much space at the sides used for Nothing it gives a zoomed in feel I am referring to the z ultra though, to put it simple all menu icons simply popping up on the screen when you press the menu button no underlay of any kind not even boxes for folders just 4 small icons together to show that it's a folder
I've also noticed the soft keys and notification bar is not entirely transparent it casts a light dark shadow I would assume that's a limitation not being able to get rid of the underlay entirely due to it being hard-coded but i don't know how open android is to manufacturers, I am extremely picky about these things so I notice them pretty quickly I guess i am obsessed with perfection when it comes to technology, lastly getting rid of the blue grey ui sometimes rarely showing up like example when you change the volume, it makes me feel like that's stock android sometimes peeking out I'd like a similar ui design across all of android.
