Shortcuts in notifications are having only the default options when swiped down from top when the phone is locked. But shows all options that i have customized after unlocking the phone.

Anyone have solution for this?

Someone in the forum asked the same,why he can't enable mobile data when the device is locked. Most probably some of the functions can affect either battery life or your subscription.

Not sure why it's designed like this but i will forward it internally as feedback and try to get more information about it.

We received some information and it is supposed to work this way and the reason why is so that some of the shortcuts gets accidentally activated in the pocket or similar miss click. Such as Stamina or mobile data. Therefore it has been decided not to show these in all states.

You may as well ask people to stop buying your phones right now just in case accidents happen. Things can go wrong with most of the available switches.

Why not make this optional instead of stopping at some random point in customisation and imposing a blanket restriction? Just a 'lock screen protection' option would be all that's needed. It would save a whole lot of annoyance that I've had over many months. This is a similar thing to the UAC messages introduced in Windows Vista. By Windows 7 they decided to rationalise the protection and preserve people's control over their devices.

Accidents happen, so we make the phone harder to use. But accidents somehow, magically or by the power of the Lord Himself, do not happen with the shortcuts that are shown in all states. Wow!

How did they manage to pull off that superhuman feat in being everywhere at the same time to prevent any accidents from happening with the other shortcuts?

It's the magic of Sony!

Never mind that we are pathetically submissive to being rogered by the whim of some code monkey, never mind that we spent many $100s to over $1000 on these so-called "smart" devices!

Have you had a lobotomy, alexdon? Is that why you keep submitting to the garbage? Was the lobotomy paid for by Sony? Hmmm? I wonder if I've revealed something juicy.
