Do anyone have a problem with lines going through widgets
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I had it too one time but reboot fixed everything, haven't had the lines since.
Ive had the lines, rebooted and everything was fine. They came back again 2 days later, rebooted again, havent seen em since.
+1
Once, rebooted, never since.
It will occasionally come back. Seems to be related to using 3d then switching.
i'd expect we'll see a fix from HTC soon enough.
Happened to me once, and rebooting did nothing. I had to remove every widget from my home screens and put them back on to fix it.
Had the same problem started last night with just one widget. By today it was two. I had tried rebooting, but didn't seem to fix the problem. Removed the two widgets and immediately put the back. 3+ hours and so far so good.
We'll see. Hopefully this isn't going to be an ongoing thing.
Out of curiosity, do you have widgets from the HTC hub installed? I noticed my "word of the day" widget isn't properly sized when I fling the carousel, but it resizes itself when I go to it. I'm thinking it might be a resolution glitch because they haven't optimized certain widgets for the 960x540 screen? Just a thought.

The two widgets I was seeing the problem on was the "Post" widget for TweekDeck and my Astrid Task widget. I've installed a couple of widgets from the HTC hub, playing around, but I don't have any of them active on the screen.
Let me tell you people...I had them bad, almost returned this thing because of it but in the back of my head I knew it was a software issue that would be fixed (either by HTC or an XDA developer.) I would get them, I would remove and replace the widget and they would eventually come back in a day or two.
Until, I temp rooted, hulu and overclocked, then I did a Zone skin, boom, problem solved! Don't ask me how, but ran for a week and no widget lines...actually lost ROOT today due to a dead battery, fired the phone up and there they were again!! ReRooted and they were gone, so my suspicions are that the HTC skins are the culprit because mine first started when I setup that blue-green HTC skin. Hope that helps.
Actually surprised this hasnt been discussed more, I noticed just a few people talked about it but no real solution.
I have the same problem on my widgets I made with desktop Visualizer. I usually just switch the theme and then switch it back. Always helps. Unfortunately I don't know how to prevent it from happening again.

I get this problem every so often. I go into setting menu then go back home and it goes away, but it always comes back, very annoying.

I have had the 3vo since monday and on two occasions the screen became unresponsive. While stuck in that condition the 2nd time I noticed the bottom half of the screen was indeed responsive. i navigated that way until the issue disappeared on its own. I then became concerned enough to search out if anyone else was having similar issues. I ran across this while searching for the official htc forum. Basically the EVO 4G and the incredible had the SAME ISSUE.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/3264.aspx
I have searched htc's site and xda and haven't seen anyone else reporting the same issue on the 3vo. I then called htc support and of course they weren't "aware of the problem on any of those phones".
So I'm thinking of calling it a factory defect and returning the phone for a replacement. Anyone with more info to add?
Edit:
Found this as well.

I can also confirm this. Lasted about a minute. Noticed it after I plugged my headphones in.

It has happened twice to me while trying to search my concact list. I just backed out and opened people again and it worked fine.
What were you running when it was unresponsive?
I believe I was in the launcher. Also, phone was in my hands.
Had the happen 1st time ever tonight. And it was the same...the bottom half was responding and buttons but not the rest of the screen. Can't recall which apps I had open. No headphones though.

Uh oh...... I hope it's a small batch.
It has happened to me too a few time. Usually when i select kill all under task manager.
I've had it happen once or twice, I think both times I was opening a forum thread with lots of embedded images ie a show your screenshot thread.

I have seen this as well a few times
The phone thinks that the notification menu is "dragged" down and it keeps you from tapping any icons or flipping through the screens.
To solve it without rebooting just pull down the notification menu and slide it back up and everything works fine again.
Definately a bug with Sense 3.0

DEFINITELY not what I saw. I was able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
It has randomly happened here too.
Ok i thought I was just crazy, but I have been having the same issue. It has gotten better and haven't had it happen in a while but It's a pain when it does.

You aren't able to click on any of the icons that the "pull down" notification menu would be blocking until you "repull" down the notification menu and slide it back up.
I was just offering how I was able to "workaround" the issue on my phone.
If this doesn't work for you, fine.. I was just trying to help with the experiences I have had.

Sorry. No animosity intended.
Same here..
Able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
And also the back button (capacitive button) is not bright enough as others (Home, Menu, Search).
Already sent to HTC for the screen replacement, but have to wait till next week because the screen no stock..
- Reboot the phone does fix the problem, but it will happen again & again..
- Already performed hard reset as requested by HTC cust service rep, but same thing happened within 24 hours, in clear system.
Unrooted EVO 3D..
I also experience touch screen problems, i just turn the screen off and back on and it works again for a short period of time.
My Thunderbolt is rooted, and I have tried several different ROMs (some AOSP even) and different kernels, and still I get this strange problem... I use WidgetLocker and fairly often when I go to unlock my phone, the touch screen doesn't work. I have to turn the screen on and off several times and sometimes that works, but it may take up to several minutes for it to finally register my touch. I even sometimes have to pull the battery because after ten minutes, nothing is responding. At first, I thought it the ROM/kernel - I used BAMF in the beginning and that is when I noticed it. Then I switched to ShiftSense, and I barely noticed the touch screen ever failing on me, but the lack of GPS locking and accuracy made me switch to NonSense, which I enjoy but again the touch screen not working at the WidgetLocker lock screen comes up again. My other theory was maybe the HTC Ring Lock Screen gets in the way, so I downloaded NoLock and disabled it, but that didn't work. Then I tried use the WL HomeHelper, but that didn't work... I tried different settings, but no avail. I really enjoy WidgetLocker and I want to try to keep it, but I am not sure what other things I should try to fix this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
widget locker did that to me several times so I gave up on it. Its definitely a problem with widget locker and not your phone or ROM. It freezes. I even set it to unlock with long press of back button and that would freeze as well.
my phone does the same thing, i think its a problem with our phone and gingerbread. it happens less with froyo. I believe its a radio issue.

I have used widget locker on over 10 different android devices I've own. I've never had a freeze issue with it. Reason I've had freeze issue starting with low RAM device. Then voltage to low or cpu frequency to low.
Is there a good alternative with Widget Locker? I just love the use of my own custom slider/widgets/custom background... Does any other app do that? I sort of want to try another app and test to see if it is in fact my phone/RAM/ROM/whatever or Widget Locker.

take off or freeze widget locker for a few days and see how your phone does. If it doesn't freeze, then you know its the app.
As for the guy that has used widget locker on 10 devices without problems, I call BS, I tried it on stock, and several customs and always had problems.
I sort of like the features of WidgetLocker than my default lock screen doesn't have and the look of it, so if I turn it off, I sort of want to try to find a replacement app in the meantime.
I just wanted to chime in and say I have this issue with my Thunderbolt and Widgetlocker as well. I've found that it usually freezes if I let my screen turn off by timing out. I'll turn it back on and the screen doesn't respond at all. I've found that if I let my screen timeout again while on the Widgetlocker screen, my touch screen will be responsive the next time I turn it on again.

Same problem here, I stopped using widget locker and just use the sense 3 lockscreen now.
I just wanted to put in my two cents - I was have the same problems with WidgetLocker on BAMF Forever (1.0.7 & 1.0.9). I found another thread on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151269) that someone with a BAMF Sense 3 ROM and a custom kernel was having the same issue. Someone else suggested upping the voltage on the kernel to 368 or changing the kernel. It didn't work for him, but it did for me. I'm not using a custom kernel, but there is an option to change that in BAMF Settings. I've been running it at 368 for several days now and I only had one lockup (but that was shortly after bootup and the phone was probably busy doing other things in the background). HTH
Howdy kids,
I noticed today that my screen was flickering off the charts after the most recent update this morning to .15. I'm on a WW prime in Canada. BCOKAS serial. THe only real problem I've had is never-stellar wifi, and a nearly complete dead GPS.
Updated today, and the screen was flickering off the charts. I noticed first it was on the home screen. I had installed multi picture live wallpaper, to apply proper HD walls to my prime last night, but after extensive messing around I've never seen this flicker/tearing before.
Static lines horizontally, the status bar @ the bottom and top (ADW EX) would jitter a bit, and I was starting to freak out! Upon more review of the screen, it WAS in fact only happening on home. SO I disabled Multi pic live, and any transitions I had set last night. No good. Cold boot, Regular reboot, no good.
I noticed that the bottom status bar (with the home, back buttons, etc) looks slightly out of proportion, and my icons I had set up at the bottom row were overlapping the bar. I decided to try and switch back to regular Launcher (stock)
After clearing defaults, and switching to ICS launcher, everything returned to normal. Bar at the bottom was back to regular size. I re-loaded ADW EX, and everything APPEARS to be cool again. NO tearing, sizes of bars are good, my bottom row of apps is not overlapping the status bar. I'll report if the issue comes back, I'm at work so I can't play extensively, but I will reboot it now, with a fresh ADW launch and see what happens Hope this helps somebody out there!
I seems to me that maybe you should do the update on the stock launcher (assuming you were running ADW when you installed .15). Maybe the OTA doesn't like non-stock launchers running while doing updates.
I am messing around with ADW EX right now but don't have it activated as my permament launcher yet because I don't have it looking good yet. Thanks for the tips if I run into any problems with ADW.
ADW Ex was causing me problems a while ago, also ... I switched over to ICS Launcher and have not gone back. But, I still hold out hope to go back one day.
I've never had a problem installing updates on ADW before. Here's what I've come up with. I had to remove the Multipic. After rebooting, problem came back. I noticed w/ multipic enabled on ICS, it was weird as well. And I couldn't find the app in the app drawer either in ICS launcher.\
Removed multipic, and have rebooted a few times. ICS and ADW, no problems with flickering so far. Might try to reinstall multi later when I get home, but removing it has adressed the problem... just my wallpaper looks like crap on ADW again
I'm running multipic on ICS right now and when I am in ADW. I'm about to update now and let you know if I have the same issue with it. One thing I've noticed with multipic and ICS is when you come out of sleep mode the lock screen wallpaper would show up, fade out then come back. My home screen wallpaper would do it as well.
It's not unique to .15. Search the forum for triangle, jitter, dancing, flicker, or any other word you'd use to describe it.
I had this issues right after the original ICS update was pushed, and it somehow cleared itself up before I even had any updates. It happened to my friend as well on .14. It never seems to be a daily issues, just something that happens after a recent update, I don't have a clue as to the cause, however.
I've had screen issues since I received the Prime. It actually seems better now. But I also have access to the original Transformer and I noticed that after the ICS update this morning it also would occasionally have the same issues. On both devices I just see it periodically. Funny thing is, this is almost the only issue I've had with the Prime.
It happens once in a while, but certainly not every day. If left alone, it will resolve itself. If you want, you can reboot to make it go away.
No issues for me. I have used .15, with combination and ADW EX and Multipic live wallpaper. Both with random transition settings. Working fine. Stock launcher is what I normally use. No issues with stock launcher either.

I did do a search of the forums, but as I mentioned above, I haven't seen it until todays update. And its also odd, that it is happening after today's update, but the direct cause seems to be multipic
You're other comment doesn't make sense either. It'll work itself out? If I've never had the problem, and the cause was software based, how would it work itself out
Still haven't seen the problem come back, still planning on re-installing multipic later to see if something in the firmware doesn't like it.

My update was done with ADW running and have had no problems. I did a temp. unroot before update but things went smooth here. Serial # BCOKAS1xxxx. This build seems to be the smoothest so far.
Multiplication live wallpaper most likely the culprit. Its not fully optimized for ICS yet. Same thing happened to me several updates back. When I tried to use my adw launcher n multipic. Both caused issues so I uninstalled both n never looked back. No problems since.
Definitely going to chalk this up to Multipic, uninstalled, and have not seen the issue return at all. And agreed with demandarin, this build does seem a little snappier in browsers, I use nightly, and although its crashed a few extra times today, its definitely a lot faster picking up the tiles than it has been!
I also forgot to re-root after the update, which I have since done, thanks to OTA rootkeeper, I don't THINK it should have an issue, as I don't think multipic asked me for root, but just something to throw into the mix.

I don't know why it works itself out, but at certain points I've just left it alone because I didn't feel like rebooting at that moment. When I brought it out of sleep afterwards, the jitter had stopped of its own volition. I don't use any live wallpapers, fwiw. That doesn't mean it won't come back, but it went away on its own without my intervention. That's what I meant by "work itself out".
The old HTC clock would turn to a nice desk clock with just a dim digital time when in landscape. The LTE's clock ha the time displayed like it is in settings in a bright white and highlighted bar. TERRIBLE for use as a nighttime bedside clock!!!
anyone have the old sense 3 version of the clock??? i couldn't find any clocks in the HTC hub thing.
---
the flashlight is in the HTC hub though, for anyone looking
---
so, are there settings somewhere to change the clock's appearance?? this clock sucks. it just looks like settings, it locks out standard, just no reason for it at all.
I do know that the clock will change when you apply a skin

I was looking for the Desk Clock too!
And by what he meant by the skin, when you change your scene, the Big Digital Clock widget's skin changes also
Count me as another person who very much misses the night mode clock. I downloaded "night clock" from the market as a temp solution, but I really would like the old HTC clock back.
I'm also looking for a way to dim the capacitive button backlights when the phone is on the charger.
You should check out Alarm Clock by double twist. It's only a buck right now. It's really nice.
Alarm by Double Twist
doubletwist alarm clock - its ok... but still not desk clock.
someone got the flashlight from sense 3, not the hub, can't anyone with a #D extract the clock apk? i didn't know it would be so hard to find
I'd be interested in this too, and also how you get it installed. I've been searching for a way to install the HTC Note app from the International One X with no luck. I found the apk files, and tried a couple of the obvious methods of installing, but no luck.
i'm screwed, the update gave me 1.5 on the 3d, so i can't back up anything without wiping everything i'm trying to back up, and i can't get into folders to play with extracting any apps either. have to beg someone out there to do this for me!!
I really miss this feature as well. I used it every night after I set my alarm. I've been using the doubletwist alarm clock application for the past few weeks and like it but I still miss the old desk clock mode in the stock app. Hopefully HTC will bring it back in a future update. Seems like an odd omission.
I too noticed that, and is the only thing ticking me off right now about this phone.
I used it every night. You put it in night mode, and it would dim even further.
Best when you wake up half asleep wondering what time it is. Easy on the eyes.
This would be huge if someone can make it work on this phone.
Same story here.... Also I would like a desktop clock that is easy on battery and doesn't shut down the display... Any thought on using any widget combined with widget locker or something like that to create something similar?

Doubletwist alarm clock has a "keep screen on" option in settings. Though I've never tried it, that plus one of it's clock displays (the screen dims when you switch to the clock view) might do the trick.
I found that drains battery unreasonably compared to either shut off or the old HTC desk clock option. I've tried everything I could find to replicate the old sense 3 clock. apps just somehow use at least double the battery
I've been suffering from sporadic sense restarts for a couple of weeks now, usually after heavy app use and when using the 'back' key to get back to the main screen. I've tried uninstalling programs and removing widgets to try and isolate the problem with little success. However, I may have stumbled upon it's root cause...showing the weather on the lock screen.
Right before a sense restart one day I briefly saw the weather lock screen flash which I thought was peculiar, so I disabled it (set it to the basic wallpaper) and it has been running perfect ever since! Also the lag moving from screen to screen that was happening from time to time is totally gone now as well. It's like the turbo has been turned back on....
I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, or possibly gets sense below a memory threshold that's the underlining issue, but I thought I'd pass it along to see if it helps others that have been experiencing the soft restarts as well.
Yeah, I have been having the same reboot screen problems with Sense even without the Weather lock screen. It makes me like Sense more and more after I really liked it on the TP2, OG Evo, and Evo 3D.

E This has been covered in a number of threads. Weather in and of itself is not the culprit, it's the resource use and how much of that sense and the Sense loader takes up. A search will show many discussions

ALL of Sense's lock screens take up about 50MB of data. Productivity, Weather, nothing but the wallpaper.. they're all the same.
The best bet is if you're root to delete HTC's lockscreen, saving 50MB, and going with stock ICS. You have to unlock to answer phonecalls, but it's worth it.
Also, get a different launcher like nova or apex. Even if they have to restart they're MUCH quicker than Sense.
try my rom
ive never had sense reboot
From more experimenting it looks like it's not the weather lock per se, as soon as I added a battery widget I started getting restarts again. It's like Sense gets to a certain memory usage and the restarts ensue. The last thing I did before it stopped restarting was change from the weather lock, so it's quite possible it was on the edge and the weather graphics/etc. put it over the threshold.
Anyways, a custom ROM is definitely next on my list, would have already done if I could get into wallet to reset.....
Did you try changing the build prop? I did that to reset my wallet so I could Rom it.
You don't have "Don't keep activities" checked in developer options do you? I had that checked and it it caused sense to restart constantly... As it should, I wasn't thinking when I checked it.

Regarding resetting the wallet..
I edited my build.prop to have ro.device or something along that to say htc_jewel instead of just jewel. I was able to get into wallet, and I used that lucky break to clear out my wallet settings so I could wipe out the OS.
