Help Unlock changed to left hand side!

pcok · Aug 28, 2010

My X10 has suddenly decided to change the swipe unlock to swipe from right to left instead of left to right, does anybody know how to change this back? It's clearly for lefties but I'm right-handed so find it really annoying! I don't recall changing any settings but I have looked through the settings and can't find anything to change it back either.

Thank you!

Just "grab" the top of it and swipe it to the right.

Go to the swipe page and hold your finger/thumb at the top if the arc and then swipe it over to the other side.

You're not the first one to ask this question, SE should give those instructions with the tiny manual that came with the phone. But I assume most of us didn't read it anyways...!

lol yeah i never read the manual .. when it happened to me i thought i was going mad, until one day i paused at the top and it lit up doh.. i don't get why se don't let you deactivate it though? i like to use the pattern lock but if i want it on this phone i gotta have 2 screen locks ggrrrr

All android phones have it though so your stuck with it.

At least SE tried to make it a little different, I can't stand the standard android swipe bar.

not all, the magic i had didn't it just went straight to pattern lock? and if it did you could turn it off.. i only want one screen lock and sonys comes unlocked in my pocket occasionally.. nice retake i will give you that but i prefer pattern as some prefer pin.. choice is all we the consumer want sometimes.
