Small apps problem

kjartz — Fri, 09 Jan 2015 08:36:24 GMT

Hi. My small apps are bothering me.

Whenever i turn on my timer or another small app, it works just fine. However; when i lock the screen, and then unlock it, my timer dissapears. The notification bar is telling me that small apps are running, but when i press "show" nothing happens.

Anyone know anything about this?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Sorry to hear that you have issues with small apps.

It's not an issue i've heard of before. Are you using our launcher or are you using a 3:rd party launcher? Which build number do you have under Settings -> About phone?

I use your launcher, tried with my current theme and the original Sony theme. Build bumber: 23.0.1.A.5.77

Just tried to restart my phone, and it seems to be working perfectly fine now. I will update if the problem appears again.

First try restarting the phone and see if that helps. If not, does the same thing happen in safe mode?

I found the problem. Whenever the smart cover modul activates, my smart apps stop working. I tried turning my phone off while removing the cover, everything worked perfectly until i installed the cover and the smart screen activated again. Also, the smart screen does not go away even though i uninstall the smart screen style app, and even when the NFC os off. Help please?

Thanks for reporting this!

I will forward this internally for further investigation. Could you also send me a PM with the IMEI of your phone and the build number (Settings -> About phone)?

To remove the smart screen you also need to remove the theme for the cover.

The theme cover is removed, but it still appears when the cover is closed. I will pm you.

I've just received information that this issue will be fixed in the next software update.
