[Q] Cant reselect phone icon for lock screen shortcut?!? - HTC EVO 3D

After getting the software updates installed and the phone rebooted I noticed the left lock screen shortcut which I believe was "phone" is gone. I tried to add it back but am unable to. "phone" does not show up however it does on my evo.

From what I've read is that this happens after an OTA you have to do a factory reset and it is supposed to come back.

From the home screen if you hit:
Menu Button --> options --> system updates --> HTC Software Update --> Check now.
It should show some updates to install. One being an update to the HTC Lock Screen. Do the updates and reboot your phone.
That will correct this issue.

How do you clear Notifications

Well i have not seen a thread on this but coming from the EVO i do not see how to clear the notifications because when i turn the phone on it asks system update avil and i click cancel but it is up top in my notifications and unlike the evo there is no clear button.
So my easy question is how can i clear the notifications so i do not see the system update up there anymore.
Thanks in advance.

the "Clear" button appears when there are notifications able to be cleared. system update isn't one of them.
So until we get root we have to just leave it up there? anyway to reboot the phone and it not show up in notifications? just wondered if everyone else was leaving it up there since not many like me are going to do the ota.
Maybe if you turn it off under the update options and then restart.
Menu > Update > HTC SoftwareUpdate > uncheck scheduled check.
Thank you but i already unchecked that and rebooted before to see if that would work and it don't owell guess it will just sit there i just get picky knowing it is there and i don't want it to be lol.
if I recall correctly, you should be able to tap the update notification, the it will ask if you want to install or cancel
If anyone has done that click on it in the notifictions at the top of the phone where it says system update is avilable and clicked it and it still asked lmk
Cause it says tap to download the system update and that is the last thing i want to do right now thanks.
there is a notification to download the update, then there is also a notification/confirmation to actually install the update.
if you downloaded it and don't want want it, just run it and choose to decline/cancel when it asks to continue.
I have this same issue. I unchecked the system update schedule right away, but the stupid HTC watch thing found the update and now I can't clear the notification. The Green Hornet movie is a trap!
If you hit the "tap to download" notification, can you stop it and will the notification be cleared? Anyone done this? I don't want it to install but the icon on top will drive me nuts until we have root

You need to do the second update. You might have to open HTC watch for it to prompt you or go to system settings and do it manually.

Yeah, go into settings and software update. Choose the HTC one. If it doesn't come right up, keep trying. After the update you might need to reboot the phone as the update won't do it for you. After that you will be golden again!
Mine must be a freak?
I did all the updates (all 4 of them under settings) and battery-pulled many times.
The phone icon is STILL gone. It's freakin' terribly frustrating.
Hello,
If you want to do anyway with the Lockscreen altogether, you can get No Lock in the Android Market for free and it could not be easier to use. You can also easily turn back on the Lockscreen by pressing the Icon.
With No Lock engaged, you have to do is press the Volume Button or any other Button to get the unlocked Screens. The Screen goes out in the same time as whatever you set the time to be.
Cheers,
JJ
I could be wrong, but I think you are having the same issue that was covered in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147524&highlight=missing+phone. They were able to resolve it with the steps provided. Best of luck!
Oh yea, Thanks a lot
the soultion was apply next 4 updates and i can choose again the cellphone thanks a lot

[Q] PLEASE HELP!!! OTA Update Problem

I just did a software update on my HTC One (AT&T,stock ROM, stock Recovery) and it failed. The update successfully downloaded and installed, then went through 77 optimizations. After that it went to the lock screen, but when I swiped up, instead of going to my home screen it keeps displaying a popup that says:
Unauthorized device
This app is not compatible with your phone
OK
All I can do is press OK and every time I do, it just displays that popup again. I have the bar at the top of the screen that shows the time, battery life, data signal status, notifications, etc., and I can swipe it down and enter that menu, but I can't access my home screen or any of the other screens. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Or can anyone help me fix this? I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thank you for your time.
I just tried a factory reset to no avail. It is still doing exactly the same thing.

I had an error like that one time, it had something to do with blinkfeed not set as the home page. If memory serve's me right
I had to get into settings from the pulldown then apps/running/ and clear the cache for google services and google search

Almost all apps (including launcher) crash

Hey all,
Just got my new OnePlusX and the first time I turned it on it prompted all the set up screens. I had to skip through them all because the keyboard would not stay open. It would open and then immediately minimize. Not a great start but no problem, I'll add my accounts and connect to wifi later.
Once I get into the 'home screen' I could see my status bar at the top but no icons and no way to access the app draw. I pressed the capacitive buttons and opened the notification slider which both worked and eventually got into the play store. From here I installed an app or two and got prompted to do a system update, which I did.
After the update I was hoping my launcher would work.. it didn't. The home screen is a black screen with the status bar at the top and no icons - the home button seems to do nothing when I'm in an app and press it.
I installed a third party launcher which worked - I now have a home screen and app draw. However, after opening an app, it crashes after a second or two (chompSMS does this as well as messenger, phone and contacts which are stock apps).
Does anyone have any information about this, what can I do here?
I know one option might be flashing a custom rom but being a brand new phone that should most definitely not be something I have to do to be able to call and message people..
Update: I ran a factory reset and all problems seemed to be resolved now. Not sure what was going on but I guess something happened that a reboot couldn't fix. I'll leave this post in case it helps others.
Have you done a factory reset after the system update??

Recent apps disappear when split screen mode entered

I'm not sure if this is a known issue, but when I enter split screen mode (via the recents screen) the recent app selection appears blank. If I click the blank half of the screen it selects the last app I used, or if I swipe and click it loads a different app, but you can't see any of them before you select it.
The recents page stays blank until I restart the phone, or change the theme.
Is this known about, or is it unique to my phone? Its a UK model with the latest update (last updated today). Any fix?
