can we get this to stop? it changes to so small, then to extra big and i don't pinch to zoom unless it gets too small by itself
Its a bug in the app I get the same thing from time to time, Also I have "Message Preview" set to 1 line and it always defaults back to 2 lines. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I've noticed that if you set your font by pinch to zoom it doesn't mess up as often. At least that's the case for me.

Did anyone ever find a solution for this? The 1.22.651.3 update resolved a lot of the problems I was having with font sizes, but in landscape mode (only) the text in the "Add text" box still gets obscenely small after I click on it, every time. I'm now on 2.13.651.1 and it's still doing the same thing.
Rooted stock ROM, latest firmware and stock kernel, S-OFF, etc. etc.

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.
I got a few "issues"
Why don't swype work everywhere?
Why doesn't facebook sync all pictures on contacts. (Yes I have haxsync, but this one doesnt sync all pictures either)
Where can I get a proper keyboard?
Why does typing on the keyboard auto-highlight, the 2nd proposed word, not the first one?
I can't for the life of me get screenshot with my hand done. Yes its enabled in motion.
Can you change the weather on lockscreen?
My phone gets VERY arm if I use it for a length of time.
Battery usage is very poor. Tips without the obvious turn down screen, turn of 3g/wifi/sync.

Put your right hand, turned to the side, on the right side of the phone. Then in one quick movement slide it across the screen to the left side. A white line should follow, indicating that the screenshot was taken.

It's normal depending on your usage. It packs a lot of horsepower and high performance equals higher temperature. But as long as it's warm and not hot everything is fine.

Depends on your usage scenario. Battery is usually drain by the combination of Sync and 3G. You need to either disable sync or go back to 2G.
The paid app 'Juicedefender beta' can do either of both (or the combination) automatically for you, I let it go back to 2G when not needed. Battery life is roughly doubled with this feature. (Requires root tough)
Note; Most of these questions could've been answered through a forum search individually.

Swype is only working when you write messages, not in every other input box you have on the phone.

I do manage to do screenshots with buttons however, so I thought maybe there was something I was missing, or maybe the gesture don't work all the time.

Get SwiftKey 3,it's super!
Or swype beta from their website.. Works everywhere.
Press power+home for screenshot.. Keep them hold like 2 seconds.
Download widgetlocker and put whatever widget you want on the lock screen
Get betterbatterystats from xda and check wake locks.
Does it get warm when using 3g data like browsing? Or do you mean gaming?

I'm using Go SMS in place of the stock messages app to get away from the slideshow issue, but when I send a picture that was taken in portrait mode, it rotates it to landscape automatically. Within Go SMS, you can rotate before sending, but is there a way to force it to respect the original orientation the photo was taken in?

I hate the mms on this phone. Why did it go backwards. You cant zoom it and it plays like a movie. Sucks big time. Im wondeing if I can roll back to another version of android to correct this?
Or is there any roms that have this corrected?
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
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:

Since getting my Pixel 6 I've noticed that notifications, in every way are absolutely horrible on this phone. So far I'm chalking it up to Android 12 (which I hate the interface of BTW, I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix this mess that Google gave us). From low notification volume (even if the volume is turned up) to not receiving notifications, to the notifications not synching to my Fitbit (which I had 0 issues with on my ROM'ed OP6) I seem to have a lot of issues with this Pixel 6. It is not rooted, just some standard apps installed, including aodNotify.
Also, does anyone else have the issue of when you swipe up and hold to go to the recent apps, it just shows you a zoomed out home screen and you can't swipe right to see recent apps? So no way to switch between apps or close them...very annoying.
Anyone else having issues with not receiving notifications or texts at all? I just had my girlfriend tell me she sent me a message, but I never go it at all. It would have been a basic SMS from her iPhone, and we're both on Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) in a major city in the US with 5G.
Notification work fine.
I would first look at aolNotify which clearly effects the notification system and is in beta testing.

I just uninstalled it, let's see if that helps, good call. I was just thinking if it's an aodNotify issue surely other people would be talking about it :\
I guess I'm just having a ton of different issues since being on this phone, that I'm eagerly awaiting TWRP and ROMs to come out.
Any news on TWRP? I had pretty much written it off, but I guess they are still working on getting A11 support. I think they had a working version for the Pixel 3a series that was released (beta testing) in the last month or two. I never bothered to try it because A12 was right around the corner.

I have this issue happen occasionally, both before and after installing aodNotify app. I'm using the buttons though, not gestures. Very weird.

No news as of yet, that I know of. But now that there's a working root and the firmware and kernel is released, I would imagine it is being worked on, or at least I hope it is. Just as custom ROMs, as I am hoping to run Lineage or CalyxOS once available.

Good to know it's less common using navigation buttons. I just switched back from gesture (I was trying to get used to it and adopt the new way of life lol, but guess not - back to the same old buttons it is!) and I have already noticed that the recent app menu has been working much better.

Yes, notifications have also been delayed at times as well I've noticed. I doubt it's the device, as hardware is hardware, and apps open/close quick and smoothly, browsing the web is no issue, as is scrolling on apps like Instagram in my experience. Though with this being the only phone (P6/P6P) with A12 so far, I guess time will tell if it's a device issue or Android issue. I still feel like it's a P6 ROM issue, and hopefully ROMs will come soon to resolve issues like this.
Just as an update, since uninstalling aodNotify and switching to navigation buttons instead of gestures my notifications have been better and my recents list showing has been more reliable. It's still a bit laggy when loading recent apps, but at least it's working more often now
One weird thing I've noticed with the notifications is when I swipe down on the status bar and tap the triangle to expand the notification, the window stays small but I can scroll the entire notification within it. I'll try to get a screenshot the next time it happens.
That's not normal and not what I am experiencing. A reboot doesn't clear it up? If not. it may be that you'll need to do a factory reset just to clear out whatever the issue is.
Ugh, I hope I don't need a factory reset. I had enough trouble getting my eSIM setup on Fi already. I haven't experienced the notification issue again, so fingers crossed, wood knocked, etc.
