[Q] 2 issues on ICS : lockscreen, weather app - HTC Sensation XL

Hi Guys,
I upgraded my Sensation XL a while ago as it offered to do it.
Stock rom, not rooted, radio : 3831.16.00.16_M
Everything worked fine till 2 days ago : phone rebooted by itself.
Since then I noticed 2 issues I can't manage to fix:
1/lock screen shortcuts have disappared
Going to personalize/display and ticking lock screen shortcuts doesn't change anything.
The lock screen style is also not displaying what it should, weather or clock
2/ The weather app is stuck on the town I was in 2 days ago and even after refreshing, it does not go to the place I'm in now.
Any ideas how to fix this, apart from resetting the whole system ?
Thanks for your help.

Nope. Without reset can't do much at that point. I had once this problem with the weather location, but i checked "allow mock locations" and hard reset did the miracle for me.

Do a Full Wipe...
Your problem should be fixed with a Factory Reset.

Xperia - HTC Diamond touch - problem with clock

Hi,
I'm a victim of weird problem that occurs on my SE Xperia X1 phone and affects the clock.
Generally, after going into standby mode something is happening with system clock and after switching the phone on the clock is late - sometimes just few minutes, sometimes few hours.
This bug appears only sometimes and the soft restart seems to solve the problem for a while (the clock updates itself to correct time), still it is very unfortunate bug, especially when you use a phone as a alarm every morning
Did someone had such problems with X1? and perhaps know the way to solve this problem?
best regards
piotr
my x1 seems to freeze about once per day when docked. usually the only way that i notice is when the clock is stuck (i.e it's still stuck at 15:30 when it's 16:15). the other thing that happens is that for some reason the default theme is applied when i open the start menu (i.e the start menu colour is the same as the genric windows theme colour) ...
a reboot fixes this issue. so far this has only happened to me when i've been docked (as far as i'm aware) so it may have something to do with activesync ... ?
hardreset is the fastest way to solve "strange" problems.
do it and check without installing anything. if it happens again your xperia has something bad, if it happens again after installing software, then there's some program causing it.
I got the same thing.
Very annoying.
Only noticed it with the new R2A roms though..

doh ! i was hoping that the new firmware solved the problem. :-(
Thanks guys! Today I updated Xperia to R2AA10 and so far I did not install any new software (it is hard to resist though. I'll let you know if that solved clock thing
Guys after the R2AA10 update the clock problem is still there. No programs install for 2 days, and today suddenly, clock has gone 1 hour back...
What is going on?
This happens only in 2nd and 4th panel. The clock is normal in the 1st panel, and in the panel with the fish...
What should i do? I tried soft, hard reset, everything!

I would not say it is a matter of panel - on my Xperia this problem occurs in first panel (even after updating to R2AA10
Hello,
I have the same problem with the Htc Touch Diamond after updating to the latest official ROM:
ROM: 2.03.483.1 FRE
Radio: 1.09.25.23
Protocol: 52.51.25.26H
Windows Mobile 6.1 build 20764.1.4.3
I think it might be due to some bug in a power saving feature...
Has anyone got a solution?
I have a part solution
it happens on the SPB panel for me, its the 4th panel for me also.
if yours it the 4th panel too then try moving the panel to another place.
if that doesnt work then i know this deffo works as iv used it, goto the today panel, leave it there for a few minutes (10-20) then go back to the panel which has got the bug, you will notice the time will be in sync and the problem goes away. It happens from time to time, sometimes weeks apart so as much as its a pain, i can live with it. I dont know if it affects the alarm when the time stops.
I have the same problem with the clock. Was looking for a solution here and found this topic. Funny thing is, I have also the spb mobile shell panel and it is on the 2nd place. I will try the trick of safdl and hope that the problem will solved. And about the alarm, freezing of the clock doesn't effect the alarm.
Same here
The same problem here with an HTC Diamond Touch... however it looks very random to me. Any solution or clue about what is happening?
I solved this
My Touch Diamond had the same problem : the clock was never right. so I downloaded the advanced configuration tool and turned on every single power management option and it seems to have fixed it. hope it will work for you too.
I tried this one. But it's not WORK!!!! HELP!!!

Incredible S screen turns on and off constantly

Hi.
I have had my Incredible S for about six months and from about 3 month the screen started turning off and on constantly. Its not rebooting ,but it is only the screen that is turning on and off. I suspected the small button on the top was stuck but it doesn't seem like that is the problem.
once i changed the ROM the device works fine for about 2 weeks and then the problem reappear again "screen turning off and on constantly"
I've tried to reboot the device, turn off the device , remove the battery,
Change the ROM:
I used:
Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL
Android Revolution HD
Runny Droied by PVTEM
Virtuous Affinity
and the problem reappear again after about two weeks from the new ROM.
I checked out all the connectivity option( GPS: OFF, Mobile Network: OFF, WI-FI: OFF .........)
Is there anyone else who have had this problem or can anyone help please?
Thanks.

Off hand I would start looking at which apps you have installed and have running. It sounds like you may have a misbehaving app that is not causing the phone to go completely to sleep.
I had a simular problem on my old HTC desire it was a dodgy app but not a random game or app or anything it was down to having to many apps and it was a app I updated for example facebook
Only thing that solved it was either taking off all apps one at a time or doing a full wipe but since I was giving it away to someone I did a full wipe it did the trick they ain't complained so far
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Even i had the same situation "Screen turns on automatically" .. i was thinking it was hardware fault..but after uninstalling few culprit apps..it was resolved..take a good look on the apps which are installed on you phone..
As sharkman3d said full wipe is best option..
thank you all for your help ..... next time i will try to remove the app before reinstalling new ROM

[Q] HTC One top touchscreen problem - Bug or Hardware fault?

Hey,
I have an HTC One black - stock os - UK unlocked version - after 4.2.2 update.
I've got a strange problem regarding the top of the touchscreen. when the phone is horizontal, the top bit (between the top bar to the first widget) is not working. the rest of the screen working fine. when I pick the device up, the screen is working fine 70% of the time. as a result, I cant open the notification bar and it thinks that I'm clicking or re-arranging my widgets.
It's weird because IT DOES work 60% of the time.
1. did any of you experienced any of this before?
2. What do you think it is? software or I have to replace the digitizer?
3. Is it just calibration problem? I tried to calibrate the device using the keyboard screen calibration and it didn't do anything.
Thanks!
Eran.

Bump for more responses
I
I just started experiencing this same problem today as well. I was on a Google Edition 4.3 Rom for about 2 days, Viper 3.2 I believe and everything was initially working as it should. Suddenly I began experiencing the non responsive status bar. I cleared data & cache, fixed permissions, and even tried a factory reset with no luck. I then reinstalled the Rom and the problem persisted. I then downloaded and installed black jelly Rom along with a complete wipe of the entire storage after transferring important data to my PC, but the status bar was still unresponsive and it appeared the top 1/4 inch of display had a digitizer issue. I tried to restore an older backup of Venom Rom running Sense and I still had no luck, until I went into the browser so that I could rotate into landscape to see if I could access it from this orientation (don't know why that didn't cross my mind sooner?) After I pulled the notification shade in landscape I left it down and rotated back into portrait mode and drew the shade back up slowly, following through with the gesture all the way to the top of the display. Then the functionality from portrait was restored! I believe this is a software bug of some sort, but I'm contemplating returning it to stock and relocking the bootloader to return it. I'm actually using the Tmobile variant and it's only about 30 days old. My insurance will cover a replacement for a faulty unit, but who knows if will happen with another? After a Google search I discovered this was an issue that surfaced with quite a few One X's as well, so I'm thinking it may be a bug that's consistent with some HTC hardware of a different variants? Any updates or insight would be appreciated.

Anyone noticed that Additonal Information (weather , pedometer) no longer show 4.4.4?

Just noticed this today. I did use a rooted 4.4.4 rom using safestrap to get to 4.4.4.
I have it checked in Lock Screen settings, even rebooted a couple of times. Wondering if anyone else has this problem as well?

I am having the same problem. I updated OTA and am running stock with no root and still nothing has shown up. I like the new fingerprint sensor animations though!
Me too.. It disappeared after 4.4.4 OTA update, even though the options are checked to show in Lock Screen.
Also can't make the weather widget transparent...

I got the pedometer to work by turning off Additional Information in Quick Settings - Lock Screen and turning the phone completely off and rebooting.
Turning Additional Info back on and turning completely off and restarting. Weather you have to go into weather settings and Use Current Location checked for it to now show on the lock screen.
Not sure why I didn't figure this out yesterday. Perhaps not enough coffee in my system lol.
Also Widget Transparency seems to be working fine.

Thanks this worked.. I tried this earlier but did't work where i restarted instead of complete power off.
Does any one able to set ART instead of Dalvik?
Anytime i set this it resets back to Dalvik only.

Stock rooted 5.1 = some widgets missing

Hey all, I flashed the factory image last night and rooted again. Restores apps from TiBu and noticed some widgets are missing.
I uninstalled the apps and reinstalled them from the market and they are still missing.
I'm wondering if anyone else is going through a similar issue or if I had a bad factory image.
Apps/widget:
-TV Show Favs
-Any.do
Would someone please download any.do and see if the widget is even available? They don't even show up as an option for me....
I saw a thread yesterday where people were saying that some widgets disappeared but then after the phone sat for a few hours they magically came back.

Yep, exactly right. Either it took a half-dozen reboots, or crossing midnight, or some initial process after a rebuild that takes a long time. Not sure what, but after 6 hours or so, all the widgets that were missing from the list suddenly appeared for me.
Well I wanted to help you out sooner but I had to wait for the moon to get in the right phase before spinning a chicken over my head.
Glad you got it worked out.

I had the same issue. Some widgets I couldn't get back no matter what I did yesterday. Woke up this morning and they were magically on my homescreen as if they had never been missing.
