Phone details are in my signature. I reset the phone right out of the box as I always do when new phones or after doing a software upgrade.
I've noticed that marketplace isn't notifying me of app updates available.
When I buy something, it keeps says I have to buy over and over again and never lets me download the app even though I get the email confirmation from MS.
The on-screen keyboard, at the password screen or even when I go to start a text, there is a full 1 second delay or more in the first letter/number I push, always. Is this a defect in the touch screen or software?
My old WP7 had none of these issues.
Anyone else?

Take it back and get another one. At a store they should swap it right there and then. It could be software related like every phone at launch has issues or a serious hardware problem

Have you synced your device with the desktop Zune client yet? It might be worth a go before you finally swap it.

Yes so I could sync all my pics, video, etc.
I already have the device setup exactly how I want it, I'd hate to return it when there is no backup/restore option in Zune. Dang it.
If its a software issue we can rule out Factory Reset... and that Im aware of there hasn't been an RUU leak for 8112 for the titan2 so flashing it is impossible.
Was the issue present from the get go? Like the moment It was turned on before setting up anything?

After turning on my phone out of the box, I went straight and did a hard reset. So I noticed everything after that. Marketplace not notifying of app updates and the touchscreen keyboard issue yes. I only tried buying that app after reinstalling all the other apps I had bought for my previous WP so I can't say about that issue.
I think I will just hang onto the handset until the Tango update is released and hope that resolves the issues.
UPDATE: Looks like marketplace is now notifying me of app updates correctly now and the app purchase I made has no gone through. I guess something was maybe going on with MS's side of things. I'll just deal with the keyboard/dial pad delay thing and hope Tango fixes it, it's only delayed on the first character I enter when I start typing anyway.

A temporary fix is just to turn off the "key press" sound. Once sound is off, there is no delay. Same issues with the Focus S and my Titan 2.

Thank you, that worked! I wonder why some windows phone have this issue and some don't? Perhaps the quality & latency of the nand flash? I have noticed this phone is a little slower than my Arrive was.
I had the exact same keyboard / touch screen delay issue. Turning off the keybaord sound definitely seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks.
I had a Lumia 900 and trades it for the HTC Titan II because of the camera issues with the Lumia. The HTC is better in my opinion but the tap delay issue was a real pain and I did not experience it with the Lumia.
I'll give it a shot, too as I have the delay. I also swapped out my Lumia for a Titan 2 and very much prefer it.
I have exactly same issue on my titan II.
I used focus before titan II. But focus hadn't this issue.
I think it can be fixed but now I feel inconvenience a lot.

Anybody please help with htc stoke rom for titan 2, thanks
Stock ROM is much appreciated ! Anyone with some information ?
i too had the keyboard issue, but have mostly gotten used to it, but it would be nice to have it fixed while keeping the keyboard sound.
another issue im having is more hardware related- when i press lightly, on the edges of the screen, there is a "glow" around the area i press like on a pc when you touch the screen. i can also feel the screen around the edges bending slightly, like the screen is loose. anybody else have this?
i have never had this on anything else with a touchscreen- ive had 2 iphones, a samsung gs2 skyrocket, and an asus transformer prime

That is probably because of the unibody design they've opted for. This issue is much similar to what annoyingly cheap hardware feeling I get when I press hard on "Windows" softkey. You can feel the spring and at times it makes that cracking sound too. But from what I've read around, as time passes on with these unibody designs, the back case get lose and so does the front chasis. Probably that "glow" you are referring to is due to lose screen chasis?

no one else has this? because the phone is brand new and did this out of the box
I'm actually having this problem as well new right out of the box. But also its not only the keyboard sound but sound in games as well. When I play games its really glitchy as the game will pause for a split second when there is a long enough gap in sound.
I bought the phone new in box unopend off craigslist for my girlfriend so im not sure if I can get this warrantied. Additionally I tried flashing the stock rom like people have been suggesting but with no luck the issue is still present.
Its a shame that such a nice phone could have such a frustrating problem right out of the box. My first gen wp the HTC Arrive never had this issue. Yet I really haven't seen much online or a fix expect whatever has been said on this thread.
Can my girlfriend just simply activate the phone and take it to at&t and get it replaced without proof that she bought it at the store?

I found that if you turn off key press sounds and disable the sound enhance, the phone works much much better.

I know that there are topics made about this issue. I'm wondering though how many of you actually have it. The main culprit from my research seems to be that the OTA has some bugs that is making the Camera go on the fritz.
If this indeed is true, then would another OTA fix it? My return date is tomorrow so I have some time to think before I exchange it for a fresh new one. If it indeed is a OTA issue, then I don't want to exchange it since I have applied a nice screen protector.
i doubt its the ota. i took all of the ota so far. i have no issue with camera.
Really? That's disheartening..
I googled "evo 3d camera freeze" and many, many people held discussions in other forums about their camera freezes. A lot of them also pointed out that they didn't have the problem until after installing the OTAs.
I really don't know what to do.
There are other threads on this but the bottom line is that the camera software is buggy and yes, it freezes a lot. I can't say anything about prior OTA's but I am confident that future OTA's will fix the camera bugs because they all appear to be software to me.
Mike
Thanks. I think I'll just keep the phone.
Worst comes to worst, I'll still be covered under HTC's warranty and can schedule a free repair with them. Sure I'll be phoneless but it's better than exchanging a otherwise perfectly functional phone and risking getting a phone that's worse.
Same here I have that problem to and I have latest ota. Hopefully this gets fixed.

The other thing that I like to point out is..
Why isn't this a bigger issue than it is? Is it mainly because, those who don't have this issue did NOT take the OTAs? I know that everyone is waiting for root so most people on here probably did not take the OTA to ensure full root functionality. I mean that's assuming the main factor for freezing is from the OTAs (which some lucky ones who did install the OTA didn't get this issue like the above.).
I don't know. I just feel like this issue isn't widespread for HTC to notice. :/
My camera is extremely buggy. I did the OTA so that I could see the Green Hornet (Which never worked for me :'( Only option is to buy it) and now my camera is all but totally worthless it locks up so bad
It doesn't seem to concern htc as they contacted me back through email that they currently aren't experiencing any camera issues... Lies.... So the only remedy they offered me was to factory reset... Done that twice.. Or to take it to a repair center. But I believe this is a software issue.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
This is a huge issue for me and it's getting worse. Its got to the point now I have to turn the phone off and sometimes even pull the battery. At first it was simply kill the camera and try to open it. After opening it about 7 times it would work. I'm going to start looking in to this further as it has gotten out of control. I'll post back here if I find anything worth sharing.

This is what they told me as well. The support rep assured me that the phone might need repairs. I mean, they are a big company, so they probably don't want a big issue like this being on the front page to Engadget. So they're most likely downplaying all the issues and we can hope that a fix in the near future is out there...

Whoa. This is exactly my problem. Except, mine isn't getting worse but if you have anymore info on this issue, feel free to speak your mind. I do feel your pain brother, I love photography and thought this would be my point and shoot while shopping for a DSLR.
I too am experiencing the freeze up once in a while but my main gripe is well yes it is a down step from the 8meg pixel camera on the original EVO, and I understand that but I came from the Hero with a 5meg camera also and it seems to take sharper and better quality photos than my 3vo...of course in 2D. A little disappointed to say the least.
So far tempt rooting doesn't seem to make the freezing stop. Oh well...I haven't found much use for the camera as of lately. The phone itself is flawless though..
This is my second Evo 3D and both did it. Same issues as discussed here. This is how I can seem to "force" it. If I take a picture and the preview is up and I touch the screen before the preview goes away then it stays of the preview. Have to close and restart camera bunch. Also if I am in the camera and I hit the little thumbnail in the lower left to go to the gallery, also stuck on the first preview it brings up. SOMETIMES if I close the camera and then go to the actual Gallery and then come back to the camera it will work.
I also experience these type of issues when switching from 2D to 3D. Again, this is my second (I had to return the first one fore defective screen) and they both had the exact same behavior. Both BEFORE and AFTER OTA.
It is actually very embarrasing to try to show off your new technology and it freezes everytime you try to show it off. I have had several people just laugh at it. "Yeah nice phone."
If you absolutely do not have to. Don't exchange it. My phone works flawlessly minus the camera freezing and I ended up not taking the risk of getting a phone with a myriad of issues in this forum.
As soon as HTC sends out another OTA fixing this, as I'm sure this is a software issue, I will be extremely pleased.
yeah i dont know what to do, because htc is assuring me that it could be hardware related. Although i dont think thats the case since it hasnt fully failed yet. Camera app works to a point where i start messing with the 2d/3d switch or hold the phone from portrait mode to landscape mode.
Same with mine. It works on and off (mostly off) so I am at least 90% sure it's a bug in the software for the camera.

The issue is the SD card.
The factory one is SLOW. It takes time to write to a slow card....hence camera lag while it's writing the image file.
That was tough....next.
I got my Titan today and the first thing I noticed was that the touch was a bit slow, nothing to really care about but coming from the iPhone I expected the same "tracking" but it ain't there. Anyone else feeling this?

Fresh Install as In... A Factory Reset.... Like its better to start out with a clean slate then to start using a phone that was already being used and had some caches/apps loaded onto it...
Its best to ruled out any software issues before blaming Hardware (replacement)
And the digitizer is definitely not faulty.

Basically if its lagging it would be software related... There's a delay from when you do something to when WP7 responses to it... I would suggest backing Up and doing a Factory Reset and see if it makes a difference.
Did you load up the phone with stuff? Supposedly there's an issue with AT&T models that lag when low in memory even if you don't have that model it could be related

if it's an ATT model, I won't be surprised. Plenty of issues heard in the past with earlier batches too.
Make sure your thumb is not touching the sides as the screen comes so close to the sides that i was touching it and not knowing it, which made it appear to lag or not press numbers to unlock and such. The easy fix for it was to get a hard rubber case which raised my thumbs up so they wouldn't brush the screen edges when typing.

I press the screen straight on with my fingers. Anyway, I might just be overreacting here but it definately feels like the touch is a liiiiiittle after, delayed or whatever you wanna call it.

Looking at your video it seems perfectly normal to me, None of my WP7 devices have ever been any better than your Titan, (2xHD7 and a Titan) Maybe it's just a case of getting over your last phone and adapting to the way Windows Phone works, Took me ages after win Mo 6.5
Hi ArtieQ,
I have the same feeling as you : the scroll doesn't follow immediatly the finger, compared to my Omnia 7 or my iPhone. I hope HTC will fix this with an update, but I'm dreaming...

I have both an Omnia 7 and a Titan and one thing i noticed on the Titan is that if I don't hold the phone with one hand and use the other for touch the screen lags and failes to register the finger at times. On the Omnia 7 I don't have this problem. The Titan might be worse either way but it's a huge difference when not holding the phone on my Titan atleast
It's easy to reproduce in some games... I get missed swipes (fruit ninja) or birds that fly when I am still trying to get the perfect angle (angry birds).
I was hoping for a firmware to fix this but didn't know if anyone else have a problem so havent bothered reporting it to HTC. I guess if we don't the wont know it's a problem?

Its got nothing to do with the OS if someone is wondering that! this is an HTC thing, evry phone from HTC have this, its just thay are not as responsiv as a Samsung phone or an IPhone, just look at HTC phone with Android its the same slow respons. if im not worng, this is an Screen issue, i mean an HTC issue HTC use on there phones.
Am I the only person that's noticed the cover up (or at best complete overlooking) of the 920 MANY issues?
Let me say, I own(d) a 920 and I loved it so much I looked past all its flaws, and I dealt with a lot. Previous owner factory reset it right in front of me and we know what that means. I spent the next 12 ****ing hours unbricking the thing just so I could use it! Now, after owning the 920 a freakin week, it stops reading my SIM card suddenly so now I'm back with android.
I just notice that no tech site has EVER run any articles about the litany of major issues with this phone. Hell even in the forums nobody seems to have put it together! Am I the only one who sees it??
Bricking on factory reset
Battery life issues
Black screen on calls
Hardware buttons randomly not working, requires soft reset
Phone suddenly stops reading SIM cards
I'm sure I'm missing some but those are the one I dealt with. Am I alone?

I've been using the 920 for 2.5 months now and I have none of your issues. I had the restart bug but it got fixed with portico update. also there is some dust under the FFC but i don't care because it is not on the lense and it don't use it anyway.
i know about black screen and factory reset bug but i read for the 1st time that there should be major problems with the SIM card or the hardware buttons.

My son has had the 920 since it came out...Other than *****ing about the lack of the most popular apps (instagram, temple run, Jetpack Joyride...etc) the phone has been nothing but flawless. He will never give it up because he is an xbox junkie lol
i've had it for almost 2 months now..
only issue i've had is the crashing (normally every couple of days), since updating seems ok so far...I've flashed a few 'roms' to it, EE branded and normal
I thought the screen going blank in calls was supposed to happen? Like to save power? last couple of phones i've had turn the screen off when you put it to your head?
I'll be honest, i'm a little disapointed in windows phone 8, after coming from 7 with no crashes for a year (apart from once when i started messing with the registry) I found windows phone 8 quite shocking, coming from android/windows mobile i'd say its not to bad, but in someways it seems a downgrade. But so far no crashes with the latest update, and i'm hoping it stays that way, but honestly, I have a feeling your issues are isolated.
Also had the chance to use the new nexus 4 the other day, if theres a cover up going on, i'd say its those who say android is smooth and responsive....
I've been using my 920 for a month and haven't encountered any of your problems. The only thing I don't like about my 920 is that there is no app so far to automatically switch phone profile according to time and location.
I'm shocked 2 of you have had no problems. Search Google for any of the problems I listed and you'll find loads of people with the same issues.
Id get another one but I can't afford to keep buying phones when one ****s up. And yea the screens supposed to go black when you put it to your head but it was going black and staying like that so I could end calls, use the num pad, use speaker phone, or any of that. I found a work around but the proximity sensor is supposed to work

Search google for ANY electronic device followed by the keyword 'issue / problem' and you are sure to get pages of results. People that don't have problems (most people) typically don't post about it while people with issues regularly post because they want the issue resolved. This gives an artificial bias to the negative and only reinforces the already tainted view of people in a mindset that something is rubbish.

I agree, since the last update I haven't had very many problems at all. And since I haven't been having issues I haven't been coming to the forums as much. I just come in every once in a while now to see if there's anything new. I'm not constantly hounding for an answer to my problems on a daily basis since I don't have problems. It's my guess that other people who have perfectly working phones would have like minds as me... or just not visit the forums at all.
No bricking during factory reset (had to do it once and I'm not going to do it again just to prove a point).
Battery life is awesome.
Hardware buttons are working fine.
Blank screen during calls isn't an issue for me since the proximity sensor works almost all the time, I think.... at least, it hasn't been a big enough concern for me that I actually notice it.... guess I should keep track of it.

Pre-portico
No stability issues, but craptastic daylight camera and bluetooth connectivity issues
Portico:
Unstable. Reboots at least twice a day.
Good daylight camera
Good bluetooth connectivity.
Think people have to make a choice about the portico.
unstable and functional or stable and unfunctional.

I've been using my 920 for a month and haven't encountered any of your problems. The only thing I don't like about my 920 is that there is no app so far to automatically switch phone profile according to time and location.

This is also the main thing I'm missing, coming from Nokia N8 the situations was really a great app...
I think Nokia lumia phones in general have a lot of issues, as does Windows Phone. It's just there are so few users even if there was a problem, it would seem isolated. Microsoft's share in the smartphone market didn't even budge at all in 2012. WP users are not power users so they just run back to the store to get an exchange. Even the lumia 920 forum at wpcentral.com is slow as molasses. 90% of the posts are very shallow anyway. Most don't even know what screen size their phone is or what processor its running. the camera is just AMAZING and the phone is PERFECT, over and over again. Of course, this forum isn't any better. The only difference being the plethora of unlock threads, because xda is international.
Your description of WP users is fairly accurate & the market segment MS is going after. The enthusiast market is small & even on Android accounts for a very small % of sales. The easiest way to solve an issue is by exchanging the phone, if you have that option available to you. A lot of issues people are having are either caused by defective hardware or a bad flash IMO, which is an issue on any of the platforms.
Do people not expect bugs and hiccups at launch for these kinds of devices?
It happens. And it's not as bad as you perceive; it's not a conspiracy.
AW: The great Lumia 920 conspiracy.......
If ms allows developers create store accounts for free I bet there would be more apps on store.,.
I get what you guys are saying, but phone busting issues like that black screen on calls and bricking on hard resets shouldn't be common enough to have a thread full of people experiencing them.
If anyone knows of any way to get the phone to read SIM cards again, I'd like your help. I still miss using my lumia 920 :'(

I have experianced just about every issue in this thread. I have users of the 920 I support for other stuff and I see how they basically ignore them as they did on their Blackberry or iPhone. I had the brick issue... news flash as I posted in another thread, it is not bricked!!! use the Nokia Care Suite, gets you going no problem. During my day I may deal with just about every phone they see at an AT&T store (Tmobile, Sprint,or Verizon for that matter)... they all have issues. Have you ever seen an iPhone user change their password on their laptop and not update the iPhone? Lets say you need to get to something before updating that password, like they changed the server setting trying to update it... go ahead try it. Drop calls, Steve Jobs had to properly instruct dumb iPhone users how to hold an iPhone. Andriod, perfect????? WTF are serious?? And becuase of that piece of software, it does not matter what hardware you are talking about.
My phone is limited compared to Andriod, I can agree with that.... but I can do more with fewer Apps and I like that. The 920 has had some hiccups along the way, but the hardware I have right now is as solid as any other phone out there, actually physically a tougher phone then any other top tier phone.

This is exactly what I was trying to get at. These sorts of issues and threads are everywhere for many high profile smartphone launches, especially lately with this insane obsession with HW spec wars.
I've seen much worse, many times, you will not buy a high end smartphone at launch these days without having some sort of worry that there will be a game-breaking bug or defect.
WP 8 for 3 months:
NO ISSUES
POWER USER (i had portico when the first roms were available on navi)
my question is, are all these faulty devices on ATT or another crap american service , cause i think this may be your problem, ive had to work on vodaphone orange tmobile and ee 920's and 820's and i can say with pride that the only issue people have is the lack of popular apps., there is no conspiracy. why the eff are you people needing to hard reset anyway wtf are you doing to your phones?
I have to admit I've been having freezing issues regularly, often when it's just sat on my desk or in my pocket, and almost every night while on USB charge. I've also noticed on the odd occasion a reboot, but only because of my SIM being PIN locked.
Mine was a German Vodafone one, which I flashed on day 1 to the CV_GB ROM, then again to CV_GB Portico ROM. Maybe I'll try a different one, as I've heard the EE one has fewer issues.

glad to know i am not the only one!
even it s no fun to have this bug...
Do you have a full screen protector? A case that covers or youre covering the light sensor next to the speaker?
yes i do, you think that can be the cause?

actually it s not a full screen protection, it s the film that was on the screen when i bought it.
light sensor works fine
I got mine fixed by calibrating the motion sensor in display settings.

Just did it but when i make a call, once i press the dial button, screen turns off
Sounds like your proximity sensor is covered up or not working. Do you have a screen protector or anything on the phone which might interfere with it? If so maybe remove it and retry. Also I'm sure you could find an app that would check it.

The Software is buggy and LG is not doing anything about it . I tweeted to them so many times and i thought HTC was bad.. they were amazing .. my first and last LG device .. however i am just confirming its not always proximity sensor issue .. Its the buggy software implementation.
i quite agree with you.... any idea when we get 6.0 ?
Would it be software? If we all have the same phone with the same software then we would all have the same problem, but we don't?
It's a software bug... Rebooting the phone fixed the problem， but then it starts acting the same way after few calls.

You could try( if you haven't already), wiping your sensors. They sometimes get dirty & don't work properly.
I have same issue and have no protectors or covers or nothing just the stock phone. I think it's got to be some stupid software issue and it is very irritating. Went from one ridiculous phone into another headache...

Drama much? The phone has been out for barely more than a month... and not every phone is having this issue.
Process: Collect as many bug reports as possible, recreate and fix issues, release a patch.
LG is not going to release a patch just for your particular problem because you tweeted really hard.

Retarded much ? I did not tweet to them about this problem, many people did. I tweeted then wrt their update roadmap and yes the phone should not be out in the first place if it has such obvious bugs you are clearly not aware how responsible companies work. I rest my case. If you are happy then enjoy.

Well people value their money and thats why when they feel they have inferior product the will complain. Like micro scratches on the screen, bleed on second screen, back peeling off .. and if you dont have this issue does not mean these issues dont matter and it also means serious quality control issues at LG. You for one needs to get over yourself and respect other people's problems, i have none of the above problems except the software bugs, i still feel compassionate towards fellow community members who might have recieved inferior quality devices. I clearly understand your personality type, "I dont care if the whole world goes to hell if i dont have a problem i am good." You should try to be less selfish and i am sure i am not the first one in your life to call you selfish. Think about why those people think you are selfish.

Firstly, Take a chill pill all
All u need to do is adjust the timeout time [emoji6]
Search within settings for "timeout"
Or go to Display settings

I set the vibrate keys while I write with SwiftKey and I noticed that when I type from the vibrate it feels like a "noise-click" Every now and then. Not always. I would like to see if it is just the kind of crappy vibe they have mounted or it's just my problem.

I have just bought the phantom green version and have the same problem. Weirdly enough, after I updated the firmware, everything vibration related like the swift keyboard got disabled by default via firmware. Maybe Honor is aware of the ****ty vibration motor and tries to cover things up?
Please tell me if u managed to fix yours or just accepted it? Cause I sure won't for 400€.

Unfortunately I also noticed this thing to have disabled the vibration of the keyboard after the upgrade. I have accepted so, I set the vibration on 45 ms and so you feel less annoying noise

Could you be so kind and tell me how to change the vibration to 45ms. Also, do you think if we contact their support, they might be able to fix this problem via a firmware update?
I don't know where you are from but if more people contact them, they might see the necessity to change it via software or even hardware.
Which firmware are you currently on and more importantly do you also have the phantom green version? Maybe it's a whole production batch that has faulty components build in. I try to reach out to their support.

In SwiftKey Settings There is the voice sound and vibration from there you can change it, at least for the keyboard. For the system, I don't think you can do that. Anyway I have the black version and I write from Italy, I think the problem is in the engine of vibration and will hardly solve it. Let's try to report it anyway
Just a quick heads up, I started a survey on the Huawei subreddit and posted a link to this forum. So far 5 people have voted in this survey and said that they don't have any issues with the vibration motor. I unfortunately cannot post any links here.
However, assuming all 5 people voted honestly I can only come to the conclusion that we indeed are among a very few people who have this issue. I therefore decided to contact my seller and initiated a RMA.
If everything goes well, the new phone should arrive early next week. I will come back here with the results.
