Xperia ZL 4.2.2: Walkman controls and lock screen conflict

ylapas — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:46:37 GMT

Anyone is facing the problem of blinkink album art and Walkman controls while playing music on lock screen widgets? I looks as app conflict here because Walkman is trying to go on top of of clock widget and is rapidly blinking. Screenshot does not capture this, yet you can see to screens on top of each other and Walkman is the blinking one and is not the "winner" of lock screens battle

If you are asking about "a" circle - avast! Mobile Security icon. I am interested to hear am I the only one with this or is there more users with the same Walkman and lock screen widgets behaviour.

you will read many many threads here with advice to remove such software and any other utilities you have installed - they are not needed and are known to cause issue with Android OS

@aylapas I got the same issue after the update. The screen flickers and the widget goes away. Just in case, I don't have any antivirus, battery saver or something like that.

At least now I know it may be a bug, not my local Xperia ZL problem. Seems we will have to wait for some comments or update from Sony now.

I forgot to add, what I have is the XZ. It's same software so I guess we will have the same issues.

I am also having this same problem. The screen flickers non-stop, although I can unlock my screen normally. Not sure why.

Plus the sensitivity of the normal lockscreen is very high. I want to slide to access the camera, but it went to another lockscreen page. Same thing happens if I want to slide to access to media control.

Hey

I too just received the 4.2.2 update on Xperia Z and am facing the same flickering issue.

In my case it is too anoying as I have just encrypted my device so it is very disturbing when i enter the pin on the lock screen.

I have sent a PM to you.

Re: Xperia ZL 4.2.2: Walkman controls and lock screen conflict

servarus — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 17:26:41 GMT

Guys, I think I found the culprit.

Do you have Smart Key installed? I was cleaning up some apps, and after I uninstalled Smart Key, the lock screen worked properly.

Do give it a try and see how it goes.

Re: Xperia ZL 4.2.2: Walkman controls and lock screen conflict

ylapas — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 18:29:38 GMT

Yep, what solved this problem. Conclusion - Smartkey at least today is not compatible with Sony Xperia Z / ZL 4.2.2 Android version.

Re: Xperia ZL 4.2.2: Walkman controls and lock screen conflict

alejandrotrela — Sun, 07 Jul 2013 06:21:36 GMT

Not having smart key installed and stiil the preblem exist that s why i turn to 4,1,2 and everything work much better.

Until Sony releace proper 4.2.2 firmware i will stay with the previous version of Android version, because there is a lot off issue and not only the flickering in music control at lock screen.:smileywink:
