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

I have my widget locker all configured to my liking and such, but when I press the power button to turn off the screen, it shuts off but then instantly comes back on again. Basically I have to press power twice in order to achieve screen off status.
I'm wondering if there is somewhere in the settings I did this or can fix this? I'll reset and start all over if necessary, but was hoping someone here could help me.
Hmm... sounds odd man. I never had that issue and I have been playing with it for a bit. My best guess is you may have Easy Wake on in the settings. That will wake your phone when you touch Home, Menu, Back, or Search. Maybe your palm is hitting those buttons when you hit the power button??
If that's not it I would start over...
Nah man Easy Wake is unchecked as well as everything in that section. I really wish someone would have a fix for this. I guess I'll start all over and then post if I'm still having the problem.
Haven't reset everything yet, and I'm just noticing some more problems. If I press the volume rocker up or down while the screen is off it turns the screen on. Also sometimes when I turn the screen off, after about 5 seconds it'll randomly turn back on. This is similar to my original post problem, but the screen waits longer to come back on. Anyone use Widget Locker on your ThunderBolt and have success with it? I'm having nothing but problems.
1) Go ahead and go into applications under the main phone settings clear all Widgetlocker data. What you're describing is Easy Wake mode though you say that it unchecked. WL's settings might have gotten screwy and clearing the data should set it straight.
2) Go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure that you haven't disabled the notification icon. For some reason the old sense lock screen would cause issues if I had that checked.
3) Are you rooted? If so go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure Root Helper is checked.
Let me know what happens.
Shoot kevin an email. Hell get back to you quick. Very responsive dev.
working fine on my TB, not that it helps you any lol.
Seems as though my problems have gone away by simply disabling my security pattern.
mob87 do you use a security patter/pin/password with widget locker? Does anyone else?
Any one have any suggestions on how to get my security pattern/pin to work with Widget Locker?

I am having the same issues as the OP, will clearing all the data as described above, wipe everything that I have configured for the lock screen and I will have to start all over or not?
Also what does selecting "Root Helper" in advanced settings actually do?

Yes, it will clear all wl data and you will have to reconfigure your lockscreen. As far as roothelper I've never used wl so I really don't know, hopefully someone else can help you with that

I'm on a rooted Desire HD and I'm having the exact same issue with the screen coming back to life immediately after pushing the power button. I'm forced to have a PIN due to Exchange security settings.
I'll report the issue to the dev.
im having the same issue on m HTC desire. and im using Password pin protection as well.
i tried clearing the widgetlocker data/ downloaded the new superuser app from market and even reinstalled the app but still i can't find the solution.
if anyone has the update on this please let me know.
Anyone come up with a solution to this? I have an Inc2 with the issue. I also have to have a PIN for my Exchange server, so I imagine that's what's causing it. But, it's quite annoying and it'd be nice to have a fix.
Short Answer:
This happens on some HTC devices if the PIN activates immediately after the screen goes off, it will not happen if you delay the pin by either:
System Settings > Security > Lock screen after > 3 Minutes
or
WidgetLocker Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > HTC > HTC Lock Delay > 10 (seconds).
Long Answer:
WidgetLocker actually never turns the screen on by itself, however it does activate at screen off. HTC's pin screen on some (mainly newer) devices will wake the screen if something happens after the pin has activated. So WidgetLocker activating trigger's HTC's pin to wake the screen. (Ugh). But if it's delayed then it's no such issue. I haven't found a non-delayed solution to this yet. WidgetLocker's setting does the same thing as HTC's, however WidgetLocker lets you enter the number of seconds as whatever you want. Less than 10 seconds may work, but 10 seconds seems to consistently work across different devices and configurations and it's still really short so I'd recommend that.

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.

I checked for that last night and there was nothing. just checked again and there it is. an available update that specifically says lock screen. sweet!
hey, where'd the thanks button go?
thanks kevank, i was getting SUPER pissed trying to figure that out...
I hate having to switch skins after every reboot to bring back the apps I have moved to the SD card. Anybody else? Hope somebody figures out a permanent fix. TIA
Or, is there already a better way of getting around it?
it sucks that the apps on my sd icons go away. i didnt know switching skins brings them back so thanks for the temp fix but i hope someone knows a better solution. cant figure it out. i thought that maybe root would change it but, it didnt. i hoped that flashing the new viper rom would fix it but, notta. thanks to whoever finds out how to perma fix.

Root gives you admin access to the ROM that's it. If you did revolutionary and just flashed the superuser zip then you are still using the stock rom with administrator aka super user aka root access. The only way S-OFF will fix this is if someone makes a rom that fixes the issue and you flash that.
No fix, Sense isn't caching icons for items on SD.
However, there's a quicker fix than what you're using.
Find and install an app on the market called "Fast Reboot". No, not the fast reboot that HTC has, it's an OS reboot like tool that just reboots all apps and not the OS.

I always use Quickboot (until someone mods the power off menu) and it has a hot reboot option as well. I will try it out next time. Thanks for the tip.

This app doesn't actually "reboot" anything. It really restarts sense and other background apps.
if you go to settings, applications, running service, hit menu and touch "show cached processes then stop htc sense, it will reload all the apps and the icons. a lot easier than using an app to reboot from the market or switching profiles

One click to restart is harder than 4 clicks, scroll, find, stop, etc that you're doing?
I'll stick with my 1 click solution.
Then you do that, cause fast reboot doesn't work for me n my app icons

Hey guys! I recently purchased my galaxy from Telus and I must say it's a lovely device. Just a few cons for me is that it's a bit big and the volume rocker button is pretty loose. Other than that everything is just perfect
I just have a few questions if people could take their spare time to help out
1) How do you disable data usage? I tried pulling down the notification bar but there is no data off/on switch, only wifi.
2) If say I have data and wifi simultaneity on, what will exactly happen? Will wifi take over and automatically shut off the data?
3) Is there a way to automatically stop the use of data by having a restriction set up so for example once I hit 980mb, I won't be able to use the data unless I override and make it possible to continue using it. (Is watchdog a perfect app for this?)
4) The wifi/data icon on the status bar, what does the orange arrow going down mean and the other arrow facing up? The arrow facing downwards for my wifi keeps blinking orange/hang and goes back to grey. (Does it mean there something downloading in the background?)
5) What are some ways to improve the battery life of the phone?
6) Is there a way to remove "ME" on the contact list?
7) When I charge the phone through my laptop, it doesn't heat up but through the wall, the charging brick is rather hot. Is this safe?
8) To open the back cover, do you just put your nail/finger tip through the back hole and just use brute force to rip it off or is there something else? I feel like I'm gonna break the cover or the little edge/dimples on the sides of the cover where it fits into the back :l
9) Is there any way to change the brightness through maybe the status bar (moving fingers from right to left increases brightness and vise versa for left to right?) or maybe through notification bar?
10) Also should I have the sync icon on at all times in the notification bar?
11) Also is samsung kies needed? Whats the benefit of having it?
12) Is Samsung Kies needed?
13) I really appreciate the help guys, and last not but least, what are some useful/"needed/essential" apps to help or make life easier for the phone?
This is my first smartphone as I've been using my old lg chocolate for some time now and it just incredible how diverse the android os is but at the same time confusing and stressful to add what and such. I have so many things I want to do with the phone atm but stressful to figure out what to do in order lol.
I'm planning on rooting the phone after I save the contacts to my google.
Thanks everyone!
A quick note, I would take your phone back to the store and get it replaced, your volume rocker should not be lose. I took mine back for the same reason and my new one is fine.
Sorry I didn't answer anything else but I can't see your post on the app, I will later on my laptop.

1. Go to Settings > Data Usage > Mobile Data switch should be at the top
2. Wifi takes priority as long as you are within range and connected to a wifi network. If you leave wifi on but there are no networks it will just default to Mobile Data.
3. Again under Settings > Data Usage > Check the "Set mobile data limit" box
4.Yeah when you are downloading or uploading packets of data the corresponding arrows lightup
5. Turn down brightness, data, gps, bluetooth when not in use
6. You can press and hold contact names to bring up a menu and delete that contact. I'm not sure whether it works on yourself I haven't tried it.
7. Should be fine
8. Yeah just pull back gently the cover shouldn't break
9. Custom roms may implement brightness toggles in the notification bar. search around there are probably apps/widgets that can do the same thing as well.
10. Only if you want to sync data. For example if its off but you keep mobile data on, widgets such as weather and facebook won't update until you do it manually, but you can still use the internet normally. This will save some battery life.
11. Are you on a Mac or PC? On a PC you probably don't need it. On a Mac by default your computer won't detect it so using Kies is probably the easiest way to transfer files.
12. See above.
13. If you plan on rooting your phone there are a lot of useful apps such as titanium backup, wifi tether, etc. You can do a lot of customization of the homescreen if you don't like the way it looks check out other "launchers" on the google play store such as Apex launcher or Go launcher. Also there are ton of different keyboard replacements if you don't like the stock keyboard. Popular ones inclue swiftkey and swype. Just go explore
Oh and don't forget the XDA App (Duh)

Thank you so much i'll have to check out the custom roms or the widgets for brightness and I'm not sure if the loose volume button is bad enough that later on it'll popout or something. One thing I notice about it is that if i lay my thumb on it, i can move it from side to side (towards the face and down) and because the button isn't separated into a + -, there seems to be a click sound even though i click the middle of the button. Last note is if I gently tap the volume button you'll hear a light click sound cause it's loose. I just want to make sure if anyone else has this problem or is theres really stiff? The power button and homebutton stay in place but the volume just feels weird , not to mention if you shake the phone you can hear that something is loose (the volume button)
EDIT: I forgot to add two other questions that someone could clarify:
1) I've read other threads about this too but I seem to be only getting one bar of wifi, and it's pretty slow for some reason. But when I go on 4g/lte it's amazingly fast - only problem is I won't be using the data network much. Any fix to this wifi issue? I've done the *#0011# and doesn't help at all.
2) Every time I enter the gallery it seems to detect all my pc connected to my wifi. Any to way to stop this? Because I use to be able to delete photos but now I can' because a computer icon replaced the delete button. Same goes for the music player, on the top left cornor theres a computer icon and if you click on it, it'll show change player

1. Depends how far you are from the router and how many walls are in your way. It could also be from interference from a neighbor's router. I would recommend downloading the app Wifi Analyzer. It will tell you which channel your router is on vs. all the other routers around you, and it will tell you the best channel to use (look for the screen with the star ratings) for your router.
2. I haven't used the gallery much, and I use Google Music instead of the stock player. I'll look into the gallery thing, though. Update: OK. So, when you press the Menu button on the main Gallery page, one of the options is to scan for nearby devices. You probably selected it to see what it did, and this is probably why it's showing all the other devices in your house. Wierd thing is, there is no way to disable it. The Gallery app doesn't seem to have a settings menu. What you can try is pressing menu, then View By, then selecting "Content in device". That should show only the things on the phone.
Also, if my volume buttons were making a rattling noise when I shook the phone, I would take the phone back for a replacement, especially if it bothered me. My volume buttons are solid.

Thanks for the help! I wen't back to exchange my phone but it seems all the other phones for display and the ones i exchanged had the same shaky/loose volume. Guess i'll just have to stick with it.
