I just thought I'd give this quick tip back to the community. Most everyone probably opened the Green Hornet 3D link, only to be presented with the error message from HTC Watch: "An important update to this application is available, you need to accept this update to continue. Please update the software on your device and then launch HTC Watch again."
Personally, I don't like being forced to update something to use what was advertised. Here's the easy steps, apologies if it has been posted already.
(Using HTC Sense as Home Screen)
1. Move to a home screen with no icons
2. Click the Paintbrush icon (bottom-right)
3. Choose Widget
4. Click "Browse all HTC Widgets" on the top
5. Find "Watch" in the list
6. Click "Select"
Now, you should be able to see Green Hornet 3D on the newly added widget. Clicking a movie in the list will immediately start playing (after validating license).
That's an awesome find. "Thanked".

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
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.

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
Hey peeps, I was watching this video " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxziEamCkIY " and noticed when the guy added the battery widget he just pressed and held the screen, then a menu popped up.
My issue is whe I press and hold my screen I get the Wallpaper menu, see this link " http://www.box.com/s/d6bae3441e6640b1dbff " . Why is mine different? :-(
My Prime is 100% stock, not rooted, and running the ICS from Asus updates with .21 firmware.

Looks like he is using a different launcher application than the stock version that comes with ICS.
In Android 4.x the only way to add a widget or app shortcut is through the Widgets/Apps Menu.
In older versions of Android you could hold the screen and it would bring up a prompt to choose what actions you wanted (add widget, add app, change wallpaper etc) however Google has done away with that in favor of a more robust Widget gallery that lets you see the different styles of widgets that a widget pack comes loaded with, instead of just seeing descriptions of them in a list. It is possible some custom launchers and ROMs include this outmoded functionality.
You can tell from the video that the person who made it is not using a stock ROM, since it lacks the Google Search widget on the top left, the App Menu button on the top right and also the "Trashcan" appears as a black bar on the left of the screen instead of as a text link at the top of the screen.
My girlfriend and I both have an Evo3D. I've had mine for almost a year, and she just got hers this week as an Asurion replacement for her 3rd Evo Shift (digitizer issues).
This phone works well, but she pointed out that she can't attach pictures to a text message. From the Message list screen:
1.) Open a conversation
2.) Press the paperclip to attach
3.) Select Picture (or whatever you want)
4.) Press "Gallery"
5.) Select an Album
6.) Select a single item
7.) (return to 5)
The phone never actually completes step 7, it goes back to step 5 infinitely until you press the Back button. If you go through the gallery app and "share" through message, it works kinda well; but not really... Phone is up-to-date with ICS and stock ROM.
Should we factory reset and see if that clears it up? Anybody else seen this issue or similar? There are no add-ins other than Swift Key 3, and we've tried it using the stock keyboards.
I also noticed she can't add Widgets to her home screen (the list comes up blank)... so does the "app shortcut" section, as well.. All help appreciated, thanks
Sounds like a hard factory reset is required, no widget screen? At this point, that's all you can do
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
There's apparently a setting called "Don't keep activities" under "developer options" and my curious girlfriend thought it would save battery power to turn that on... turning it off fixed both issues. Thanks guys!
