Xperia lock screen deleted

My Xperia lock screen got deleted while updating to kitkat, now it's just the normal google lock screen when swipe is selected

You can go to settings-security and set a PIN/password etc.

  • Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

    I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone.  I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default.  In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default.  Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
    The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen.  I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password.  Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone.  I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots.  Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
    I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay.  I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query.  After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer...  I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
    You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
    Here's what I found out...  If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
    You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer.  After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work...  This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
    Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up.  If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
    I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it.  Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
    Good luck!

  • PUZZLED: Iphone 4s ran out of space after taking one photo from lock screen and deleted whole photo album. Can I recover?

    My phone is running 6.0.1. I took one photo from the lock screen by sliding up the camera button.  It was a little blurry so I tried again and the iphone 4ssaid it couldn't because the phone was out of space. 
    After shutting the phone off and turning it back, put in the passcode and checked my photos and they were all gone.  my usage says I only have 150kb left on the 16gb phone it says zero photos and zero videos. I only have 10 applications and 606 songs.  It seems the photos are still on the device as the space is being used but i cant access them.  Any idea or suggestions will help. Thanks

    I i backup from current state would it not backup without the photos. Maybe I should just restore from the last backup posible and this should have all photos until then. But before i restore from backup I wish i could just access the photos. I don't understand in the first place how they all deleted, and secondly why iphone still recognizes the space being used.  This is such a glitch, which is very frustrating.  i wish someone at apple can give me more insight....

  • Xperia Z3 Compact camera error when starting from locked screen (symbol lock)

    Hi
    I'm a new owner of Xperia Z3 Compact and I have noticed a problem when launching camera. The app itself works perfectly well but when trying to launch camera from locked phone (screen locked with symbol) it shows only black screen with error message that camera app it unaccessible. After removing lock screen protection both camera symbol on lock screen and dedicated camera button works as intended. Is it supposed to be that way? On my previous phone I could launch camera app without unlocking screen but couldn't access any other parts of the phone. I'd love to have it working the same way here especially with the dedicated camera button.
    Hoping for a fast answer. 
    Regards
    Huma

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Lock screen issues when deleting notifications

    I am having a recurring problem where the phone gets stuck when I try to delete a notification from the lock screen. When I swipe and hit Trash, the screen sends me to the password entry screen but every time I hit a button, the screen only bounces to the right then back. I have to double tap the keys quickly just to enter the code. Once this happens and I can unlock to Trash the notification, I then sometimes have the time/date on the lock screen disappear. I have to reboot to get it to work. It's happening on multiple devices, 5s, 5c, and iPad Air, all with iOS 8 (the phones on 8.1.1 and iPad on 8.1). I'm also having TouchID get stuck if it doesn't read after three attempts. Overall, the Lock Screen is pretty unreliable on iOS8.

    sometimes seems like the effect may not auto-disappear, as it should. hopefully the "blur with no notifications" is NOT normal.
    rebooting the iphone always works to remove the burred effect; and may fix this "glitch", if it IS a "glitch".
    but, if your issue is only with notifications blurring the lockscreen, this seems fairly easy to fix, since you can set ALL of your apps to NOT display notifications on the lockscreen. If the iOS doesn't have to display info there, there is no need to blur the background.
    you should note that there are things other than notifications that WILL blur the lockscreen; so when you say you're getting "blurring but no notifications"; then this could mean that the iOS is displaying some other info on the lockscreen.
    Example: for me the blurred screen has to do with AUDIO PLAYBACK, which causes the iOS to display the "playback control buttons" on the lockscreen. When I PAUSE AUDIO, the blur clears up instantly. So, clearly, Apple designed the screen to work this way.
    I will be checking to see if a way to remove the "audio controls" from the lockscreen. given new contol center (which I can access from the lockscreen), there is no longer any need for these controls to display on the lockscreen.
    I will be trying to remove everything possible from displaying on the lockscreen, to at least minimize this effect. But think we all need to request that apple add an option to STOP the blur effect on the lockscreen.

  • How to delete lock screen photo image from camera while retaining the default images?

    Hi,
    I've recently took a picture using my camera and set it as a lock screen photo. However, I can't delete the custom lock screen photo after deleting my camera picture on my laptop. I would not know what will happen if I were to reset my entire system as I
    have two separate accounts; one of the accounts is not a Microsoft account. If i were to reset my computer system, some of the applications might not be there as the laptop had a custom setting when I bought it.
    How do I delete the cached photo in my computer?(The one without a Microsoft account)

    Hi,
    Do we have any backup available?
    If yes, we may consider to use system restore point to return to a state that could be able to change/delete the lock screen picture.
    Best regards

  • Z10 Lock Screen showing deleted emails

    hey folks,
    So i have an issue with my Z10 where the lock screen is showing 2 emails that were deleted from my inbox.
    I have already validated that, no, there are no unread emails in my HUB (no red astericks and no numbers for the mailboxes).
    I have restarted my device several times which, unfortunately, hasn't helped.
    New emails are showing up in the screen as per normal and are disappearing as the messages are read/deleted. It's just these 2 that appear to be stuck.
    Thanks

    You've deleted those two, any chance they are filed as well?
    And on your restart of the the device, try a powered on Battery pull.

  • Delete lock screen

    I want to stop the lock screen from comming up every few minutes . I want to delete the lock screen function

    If you are going to turn off Autolock (think about this before doing it), make sure you have Find My iPhone turned on.  If you lose or someone takes your device, while they can't reactivate it withouth your Apple ID and Password, you are making yourslef more vulnerable to someone accessing personal information if there is no lock.
    We see multiple threads almost daily from someone who's iPad was lost or stolen.
    The Autolock feature may seem like a pain, but it does offer a deal of protection for your device.

  • Is there a way to delete things from the ipad mini but from the lock screen?

    my ipad mini's keyboard is in greek, but my password is in english and if i try to put my password in it says its incorrect, is there a way to either delete my whole ipad from the lock screen or make it do what it says when we start the ipad up for the first time??
    need help!!!!!!!

    Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode to remove passcode.
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost if you do not have backup.
