I don't think my lock screen is working correctly. I have is set to no pin or password but once I wake the screen with the power button if I tap anywhere on the screen it unlocks. Previously on Sense you need to drag the lock or an icon into a ring on the screen. Is this how its supposed to happen now?

I would go into your sellings > lock screen and see if the quick launch apps are disabled. That's the only thing that comes to mind :fingers-crossed:
I can remember watching a video on YouTube about HTC tips and tricks or something and one if the things the guy was showing was the ability to unlock the phone from anywhere in the screen, I actually liked the idea if this however on mine you have to drag the lock item up.

He said to just swipe up to unlock. It didn't sound as if there was any setting that had to be changed.
Well it dose not work that way on mine, I have to grab the lock or one of the shortcuts.

I've tried all the settings I could find but can't seem to stop it unlocking just by a touch.

I'm no expert, but that sounds like a screen/digitiser issue.

Have you tried a restore?
Also, try going to a long-ish website on it (or something else that you can scroll through) then just tap once at around the same place as the lock-clock would be, see what happens when you do that.
The single touch unlock seems to be caused by services activated under the "accessibility settings" (German: "Eingabehilfe"). This concerns Tasker, Lightflow etc. Set these to off and you need to swype to unlock.

I'm sure it's not your digitizer. It's the settings. This used to happened on my htc hd2 as well sometimes. I don't remember the settings of sense but if you do not find them just restore it to factory settings and it should be fine.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for solving this mystery for me.
I received my One today and at some point during the installation of my apps started experiencing the same problem: the lock screen unlocked with a single touch instead of a swipe. Turns out its normal function returns when I switch off all accessibility services.
Which is annoying, because I need those accessibility settings for Tasker and for my Pebble. I wish HTC made this a separate option instead of assuming that as soon as you activate one accessibility option, you must be physically unable to move your thumb accross the screen... :-/
It's not just that the lock screen doesn't really lock anymore; in the "productivity" setup, I can't swipe beyond the first calendar entry because it disappears at the first touch. I really hope HTC fixes this in an update soon.

I am having the same problem. This issue occurs also when you have to turn Accessibility Service on for apps like "Notify me" etc. The lockscreen unlocks with every single touch...
Does someone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance
I've opened a support ticket yesterday on htc.com and described the issue. Haven't heard back from them yet, but it's weekend of course.
Maybe if we all contact support they'll become aware of the issue and we'll get a solution sooner?
Got a reply today:
Thank you for your email regarding your HTC device. Unfortunately we dont know what 3rd party apps will do to the phone and therefore we cant support 3rd party apps. If you dont like the fact that your screen can be unlocked by a single touch i would advise you to remove the 3rd party app(s) or talk to the developer of those apps. If you have any further questions you can reply to this email.

So I wrote back:
Hello,
I wouldn't say those third party apps are responsible. They require accessibility services for certain features, but they do not in themselves affect the lock screen behaviour.
I believe it is the HTC Sense software that automatically (and unnecessarily) sets the lock screen to open at a single touch when any accessibility setting is used. I understand this issue cannot be solved at the moment, but I do hope a future update will introduce the option for the user to choose the lock screen behaviour himself.

We dont have a current solution for this but i am sure there will be a update in the future to solve this.

What kind of customer support is that
The bloke is basically washing his f*cking hands of it, what a joke.
This is p1ss poor it really is.... might have to see if there's another possible lockscreen i can use, i wouldnt mind so much but if my phone rings in my pocket its game over, picks it up without me even getting a chance to answer it

A part solution is widget locker ...... not as pretty as stock lock screen but at least functional whilst you have this problem ....
still looking for a solution for when i recieve calls.

Tiny call confirm is your friend. Puts a lock on the screen, tap it then answer, works like a dream
I know all this is a pain in the backside, but in the meantime it's an answer to the problems we're facing at the moment

Basically, yeah...
Thanks for the tips -- didn't know about the second one yet.
I'm a bit surprised there aren't more people reporting this problem. A lot of forum users here must be using Tasker, I can imagine, and have its accessibility service enabled, and therefore must experience the same lock screen defect. It's the only thing that really bothers me about this phone (apart from the fact that Zoe is practically unusable with Dropbox auto upload).
Can somebody please tell me if there is a way to have my Moto X (2014) vibrate or play a sound to notify me of a text message while I am in a call. I can't for the life of me figure this out. I am using the Messenger app from Google and the default phone dialer. Many times I get messages while I am in a call, but there is no audible or vibrating notification that I have one so I never know about it. Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance.
I don't get them either. I would like to know how to be notified.

Where did you find that menu? I've searched everywhere but all I can find is stuff about Do Not Disturb. I'm on stock 6.0 and I have the same problem. It drives me nuts! I'm even more annoyed how the stock messaging app doesn't give notification sounds while the app is open, so while I'm typing in landscape mode I have no idea if the person I'm typing to has said something new which could make what I'm typing completely irrelevant.

Hey folks
I'm having trouble setting up my Nexus 6 as a new device.
I am on the developer preview 3 and I have tried both logging out of my google account and factory resetting. I have also reflashed the preview that that would work.
However all I can do is restore from a backup but I want to setup as a new device. I can select it from the drop down menu which is weird but it won't allow me to select done.
Is this some sort of Android 6.0 feature?
Thanks for any help.

You need to remove your Google account before Factory Reset. That feature is in place since 5.1.
I thought that And have tried that but it still doesn't work.

Not trying to be smart or say you didn't do it right, but I had the same issue several times and always just needed to turn to landscape and then hit the button. Just doesn't detect or something in portrait. I'd try again and just tap around in that area.

Maybe tonight, now that Snapchat is working on M again I'll probably be going back. Not sure if it's an M issue, but happens every time for me on JDX 3, little arrow button does nothing in portrait, but works in landscape; not sure how I can show it but I'll try

I've had that happen after flashing roms/gapps a few times. What I eventually did was skip the sign in, and sign into my Google account after the initial setup.

I figured out what app was causing the screen overlay and i turn it off when i need to...was seeing if it was a fix like in xposed where it will override the messge regardless what app in installed.
There's an app called install button unlocker on playstore that solves that problem.

This totally worked nice find. This was such a huge issue with this phone.
As in the s8 plus, while watching youtube an icon will appear to let u fit the video to the entire screen. Now on my note 8 this icon is no longer present.
When you play a youtube video a round "crop to fit" button pops up which allows it to play fullscreen.

That is a bummer. I looked all through settings on mine and couldn't see anything that would affect. Good luck!
Had the same issue. Updated the Software in settings and now its working. You'll see that the Software update includes enhancements. Perhaps Samsung forgot to include that feature the first time around.

It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.
For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.
