Odd looking square in menu... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just saw this,its a little square,I`ve never seen it before until now, I can only seem to see it in this menu, I had to invert the image so you can see it clearly.
Any ideas as to what it is?
I did that test with the red/green/blue screen and they all look perfect??
Its not in the first menu when you long press the home screen, only in the choose widget screen

Must be some theme glitch

It is odd tough never had any problems like this before, its not really a big deal but at least its here for other people to see in case they have something similar

Strange black and white rectangles

All of the sudden tonight I started seeing white rectangles when I open a program and black rectangles when I close a program. When I open a program, first it will show a medium size hollow rectangle about half the size of the screen followed by a larger one about 2/3's the size of the screen and then the program opens. When I close a program it does it in reverse with black rectangles. Also, when I change todayscreen themes just after I pick a new theme I get a tiny rectangle in the upper left hand corner followed by a slightly larger one a little more towards the middle of the screen and then the wait cursor pops up. To me it seems like it's an animation, but I don't remember enabling anything like that and menu animations are disabled. I don't really care if it keeps doing that as long as it's not a sign of a problem of some kind. Anyone else seen anything like this? If it's something I accidentally enabled, how did I end up doing it so I can turn it off in the future if I decide to?
HKLM\System\GWE\Animate set this to 0
it now animates opening and closing windows
Thanks RPGO. I was just about to hard reset my phone since no one seemed to know what was going on and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't something that could potentially harm my phone sooner or later. I still don't quite know how it got activated.
Figured out how it got it got activated. It was part of Paul's tweak pack over at MoDaCo. I was just over there and happened to run across someone asking for an untweak for that tweak.

Transparent or Floating Scrollbar?

I've looked around and I didn't see anything except references to WM 7 might have something like this, but it occurred to me today as I glared at the big ugly scrollbar on my Today screen that it'd be nice if there was a semi-transparent and/or floating toolbar which would let the text flow under it, be readable, yet still usable to scroll down.
Is there anything that can do this? I've seen some different looking scrollbars around, such as one that looked like this <---->, but it was pretty low-profile and such, but it wasn't floating, but I'd still like to know about anything that makes the scrollbar less ugly.
Thanks!
Maybe less items on the today screen?

Yeah, that'd help for that, but there are other places where it'd be nice to have less obtrusive scrollbars.
I've tried several things for the today screen.. I didn't much like either SBP option (Shell or Pocket Plus) but at least they let you put different things on tabs. I like HTC Home + HHC but it takes up lots of room.
I'm still experimenting a bit, but this is more of an overall query, not specific to the today screen, although that's one place that'd definately benefit from it.
It's much more of a better idea if you don't put your scroll bar in your today screen...what I mean is not to put too much information in your today screen.
This program from VJ helps a little, removes the soft keys from the bottom of the Today screen:

Does Google's new fastflip work on your hero?

I just saw Google's fastflip announcement and gave it a try. On my Hero, the webpage does not look right. That is, I don't get the icons at the bottom (left arrow, right arrow, + sign) as you can see in the screen shots at http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/mobile
Can someone check and see if their Hero does the same thing?
I think Google is now so big that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Look at our crummy Maps support, no Google Earth, and now no Flip.
I didnt see the icons at the bottom either, but it worked using gestures (swipe left or right to 'flip' )
i can't imagine you would see the icons at the bottom as those are put there by the iphone browser.....you don't have one of those silly things do you???
and as for the rest, seems fine to me.
Nahh, if you look at the screen shots those buttons at the bottom are part of fastflip. Not the ones you get after pressing the menu button. On my screen, they are not there. The space is blank white. No big deal, just want to know if others are seeing the same thing.
Hi,
only icons I can see are the same as in this picture iPhone icons picture so I think they are iPhone specific
Sorry clobber but that blue bar is, as has already been said, Iphone browser only.
They are the back, forward, new window, bookmarks and switch window buttons from the iphone browser. you will not see them on an android phone.
shudder...i need to go wash my mouth out after mentioning that thing....!

Haha. Fair call. I didn't even notice there were suppose to be buttons. I just instinctively swiped to change pages since that is the paradigm used through out the phone.
I hate buttons on screens for navigation. Totally pointless. It is a pity that Google couldn't display the whole article straight away. Although you get the gist of that article after the first few paragraphs anyway and it's not hard to browse to the original article.
I like it...but don't know how it fits with Reader which I get my new via RSS. I guess Flip filters it down to only the good/popular stuff.

Question about call screen....

I for some reason am unable to press the bottom left hand corner of the screen, which unfortunately is exactly where the dialer button is and now I can not press numbers for in-call options. Any way I can change this screen w/o flashing? im on Xtrsense now and would like to stay with it. Thanks a lot I have metamorph and amon-ra.
Maybe another dialer option from the the Market like this?: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.kz-mek-dialerone-iApD.aspx
I've never used it, but it gets good reviews, and looks like the only thing you would be missing would be the * then on the bottom left. Hope this helps...

HTC One KitKat Sense 6 Lockscreen Bug

Hi,
I updated my HTC One today with Sense 6. Only two things are bothering me so far. First the far too big space between the homescreenicons and the dock, but this is a known bug and not really a big deal for me. But the second one is kinda strange and it seems that it didn't happen to anybody else than me. The problem is with the new lockscreen feature. You can swipe up to unlock normal, swipe right for blinkfeed and swipe left for the selected homescreen. But now something strange happens, when I swipe left. I expect to see the homescreen but it goes always to the most left page beside blinkfeed. I tried everything, rearranging, set other pages as homescreen, removing and adding blinkfeed, but neither of them worked. Strangely the homescreenbutton works as usual and jumps to the right page.
I would really appreciate some help or maybe even a reproduction of this bug.
Thanks for any help provided,
SkryptX
PS: Sorry for any grammatical flaws or mistakes
Does nobody have any idea for this problem?
I updated to Sense 6 today and am having the same two issues.
Seems like there is a huge a waste of space on the home screen where they now have a few dots just to show which page you are on and then disappear to leave an empty void. Kinda ruins the whole aesthetic for me. Also I have my screens set up so the middle page is my home screen with an extra one either side of it. Swiping left on the lock screen always takes me to the left hand page, not my default one.
Both not huge things, just annoyances really, but would still like a fix.

you can use the Xposed framework + Sense 6 toolbox to reduce the gap between icons and the launcher bar or even add another row of icon (5x4 instead of (4x4). The Xposed framework require root access.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
And for the unlock issue, I can confirm its the same for me, doesn't bother me as my home screen is the one beside Blinkfeed. Maybe there is also a xposed module to correct that bug.
Sadly I don't want to root my phone already... So there is most likely no way to solve this problem?
But I'll write HTC and ask them if they will release a fix. This is a damn basic function and this can't be so hard to fix this. I don't even know how they managed to overlook such an obvious bug...

just wait for an update, or use the screen next to blinkfeed as your homescreen.

well there are thousand of things to check when releasing an update, its quite easy to miss such a minor bug. And this is not so obvious, I did not realized it myself before trying it after I saw this thread.
