My app drawer button is non-functional ish. The app drawer button doesn't always select in the green tone to show it's been activated. I know the screen recognizes it's being pressed because the full-screen weather animations stop once I press the screen but the rosie button doesn't... go. I tried resetting HTC Sense, no go. I don't know what's wrong.
Anyone else got this issue?

I've never had that happen. Are you using the stock HTC skin, or are you using one of the themed skins? Just curious on that. If you're not using the stock one, perhaps try switching back to the stock skin? A battery pull maybe? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for you.

Well you can try rebooting the phone and removing the battery for a few seconds, but I'm going to assume you have done that already.
Second would probably be a hard reset, which I guarantee to fix your problem since it seems to be some sort of software hiccup.

EDIT : Get a drawing app and see if you can draw in the bottom left corner. If you can't, then you have a problem with the digitizer not registering in that area.

Okay I will try the drawing app, and yeah I've pulled the battery to no avail. I'll try the app, then just see if it works itself out.
EDIT: Drawing app worked fine, it's a Rosie issue. Hmm.
on that note
On the same note. Is there a way to change what is launched when you tap the button?

I don't believe that's possible without full root. It is definitely possible to remap the rosie buttons, but I don't think we can until we get S-off. (could be wrong, because there's a ton of talented devs here, but I dont think so)
Someone (literally just forgot who) is trying to repackage all of Rosie itself so it can be installed as an apk with a ton of mods, but again, I can't remember who.
Oh also, the button is now fully functional. Just kind of started working randomly, but oh well! That works for me.

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.

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.

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

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.
Loving my EVO LTE so far. Quick question on the camera button. I need to press my button very hard to get it to snap a picture. Is anyone else having this issue? Just wondering if it is a defect or if they are all like this. Thanks.
its a 2-button button. a 'soft press' (to the first resistance point) triggers focus, a 'hard press' (all the way down, past the first resistance point) takes the pic. its by design.
a 'long press' (holding down the camera button for 3 sec) will bring up the camera app if you are doing anything else, and a 'long press' while in the camera app will rapid-fire capture pics as long as you are holding it down.
Does everyone's camera make noise when snapping photos? I have no noise, and I have trouble knowing if my camera is rapid-firing or not.

Yours may be like mine, in that it seems like the button is not installed correctly. Mine has a distinguishable first stage, but I sort of need to mash it in to get to the second stage. I thought it was odd, but I knew it wasn't right when I tried out my wife's EVO LTE and hers has 2 clear, distinct stages, with no mashing in needed.
Mine is having rebooting issues anyway, so I'm hoping that my next EVO has the correct camera button press too.

I always have things on vibrate, but that's not considered silent mode I wouldn't think. Where can I change a setting that would make the camera make noise while my ring is set to vibrate?
nope. probably hidden. htc seems to have forgotten why Android better than iPhone and trying to dumb ics down to ios levels. options, apps,a ton of stuff is hidden or removed from this phone. try minimalistic text and look for camera settings or basic interface. I'll check around when home later
Isn't Minimalistic Text a clock widget app? I don't understand how this relates to the camera setting. What am I missing?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
no, it lets you make shortcuts and icons and widgets for anything possible on your phone. can see if it has any hidden camera settings menu built in anywhere
sorry, no camera settings. I did find a mirror app hidden though. I'll start a new thread about it

Its far, far from just a clock widget app. Its in my top 5 must download after flashing a new rom app.
I agree. I'd never heard of it til someone pointed me towards it to unhide polaris,(which you can do with es file explorer, another in my top 5) and I must say, its in my top 5 now too. so much you can do with this.
in fact, how do you use it for a clock widget?

Thanks. Based on everyone's input I am going to ask for a replacement phone. I really have to mash down the button to get a picture.
EDIT: Problem was tied to a poker widget. Whatever page the widget was on was getting set as the first page you would see after you unlock from a restart.
The issue is minor, but still annoying. I am on the new OTA stock rooted LazyPanda S-OFF (previously on viperRom and it did it there too), and every time I restart the phone and go to unlock it the first time, it takes me to the screen just to the left of my home screen. If I hit the home button, it goes to the proper home page, so I have no idea what is going on. The only thing I can think that is causing it would be wiping cache and dalvik after I get a ROM up and running like I like it to do a minor update. When I was on viperRom and he put out a small update, I went and wiped those 2 and flashed the update and (I THINK) the problem started. Recently I flashed the new stock rooted ROM and got it all set up, then flashed wiped cache and dalvik to flash the wiper fix update and now I am going to the wrong home screen after restarts. Surely there is something I can modify to correct this. I just makes me worry that other things that I don't see might also be messed up.
I have searched everywhere for this, but seeing as how the keywords are all very common, I am not having any luck. I have posted this in various threads of the ROMs I have used, but nobody ever responds. Hoping more people will see this here and maybe I am not the only one.
Thanks!

I've had this happen before but that was just because when I turned the phone off I wasn't on the home page. I was a page to the left of the home page so when I turned the phone off and back on it took me back to the page I was on before I shut the phone off. That's all I could think of to cause that especially if you hit the Home button and it goes to the correct page. Try this. Leave it on the home page and turn the phone off. Turn it back on and see what page is displayed.
The other issue could be that the page you think is your home page really isn't and is actually a page to the left. That's why it reboots to that page and not the actual home page.Just a thought
Try rearranging your screens by pressing home twice then click and drag until the one you want us in the center.

The one I want is in the center with the home icon in the corner. This is the screen that by default is the home screen (one with the clock widget) and I have not added or removed any screens since flashing or installed any mods or themes.

So did you actually have this same problem? I have never tried a different launcher and this does seem to be a minor oddity.
Yeah I did have that...it would start up to a black screen the first time I unlocked at lockscreen. I also got rid of the HTC lockscreen apk so I'm using nova launcher and aosp lockscreen.

When you are on the home screen press home again. This will show all your screens. The one with the house icon in the lower right corner is your home screen. You can move them around to the order you want.
Yeah, and my home screen is set correct. It goes to it fine when I hit home, but is wrong after a restart the first time I unlock.

So after doing some removing of panels on my phone, I figured out the problem is tied to a widget that I have on that page for a Poker app that I play. Whatever page has this widget on it, gets set as the first page you see after you unlock from a restart (and only after a restart). Really weird and I guess that is why I am one of the only ones with this problem since I bet most people don't use the widget (I get extra chips for using it). Thanks everyone for your input in helping me solve this.
I have searched xda and Google but haven't found an answer. Does anyone know how to disable or remove screen capture? I tried freezing screen capture.apk in TB but that didn't help. I'm really tired of my pocket taking screen shots of my lock screen whenever I get a text. :-/

Uh, you could flash an aosp Rom...they don't have swipe screen shot feature, which is what iimagine is happening right?
On aosp it's volume down and power only, no swipe, or s-pen shot at all.
Not sure how to remove it though
Yeah that's what's happening. It didn't start doing that until I flashed the last ics leak and now it's doing it on the official release. It only does it if I'm walking around with my phone in my pocket and I get a text and only about 75% of the time then. I would use an aosp rom but I like having the spen functionality.

Do you want screenshots completely disabled or just the swipe screenshot disabled?
Completely disabled is much easier, as I just did a quick test and completely disabled screenshots.
What ROM are you using?
EDIT: Spoke too soon. I'm partially there...it doesn't take screenshots anymore, but it crashes SystemUI when you try to. I'll keep looking into it.
Since it happens on screen wake with texts, why not use SMS pop up from the market and disable notifications in the native messaging app. At least it won't wake in your pocket.
Honestly either way is fine with me, I don't ever take screen shots so I really wouldn't miss the feature.
I'm on the official att ics stock rom rooted and cwm.

Not a dumb question at all. Freezing the screen capture apk doesn't stop the screen shot from being taken, which is a little bizarre.
I should get some more time to work on this tomorrow. Might take someone better than me though.
Yeah I thought it was weird that freezing it didn't do anything. I was thinking maybe that apk is what is causing the crashes when fooling with the system UI.

I worked on this some more today and its still crashing when I try to prevent the screenshot from being taken. I think another way would be to stop the phone from using the palm sweep gesture. That might be easier to figure out and I think is in framework.
That would work too. :thumbup:

Hello everyone,
Today I was checking my phone and I noticed this big oval spot at the bottom left of the screen.. It only appeared in the morning, but I never seen it before! It's like it came all of a sudden! VERY STRANGE ON AN OLED SCREEN!
it's not visible at all on a pitch black background, but only on light colors like white, gray...etc check the attached photos below !
anyone have or had same issue on their Xperia 1? and if anyone knows what caused it to appear and if its gonna be permanent or if it will disappear by the time?
Please let me know in the comments!
thanks for your contribution and help!
Since you are using the gesture mode. I believe it's something with the sideswipe rather than screen/display problem.

yes, since i got the phone which is 1 year and 3 months I've been using gesture swipe option.. do you think it's a software rather than hardware?
Yes. I think it's software.
In my phone, I sometimes see that the clicked gesture keeps showing in the back button.
I have seen it many times.
I guess it's similar to what mine was in yours too.
.... and it exactly looks like you are going back from the app or menu.
Maybe you can try using the two-finger or 3 classic types to check.
