I had a battery widget on my screen, which I swear was on the phone before I downloaded any apps. Maybe I am going nuts. It did not show %, but it showed bars.
The nice thing was when I clicked on it it would open up a page showing what apps were using the battery.
I pulled it off the screen, and now cannot find it to put back.
Anyone see anything like that?
It was on the phone when you got it? I just got it yesterday and never saw anything like that....hmmm...
Are you sure you're thinking of a widget rather than going to Settings, About Phone, then Battery Use?
Well, since posting a few min ago, I found that. But I did have an icon on my desktop that I could call that very thing with. But darned if I know how I got it there.
I've been messing with this thing so much, I'm going brain dead.I was having problems a bit ago remembering which app I used to check on available memory. But finally remembered it was Advanced Task Killer.
Long press on the desktop like you were going to add a widget or wallpaper. Choose Shortcut instead, then scroll down to Settings, click it, then choose Battery Use.
That'll put a nice little battery/magnifying glass icon on your desktop, click it and it does what it says, just like you'd went into Settings/About Phone/Battery Use.
And notice some of the other quick and handy shortcuts you can make, besides the wealth of those found in the Settings part.
Well, I am pretty sure that is how I got it there. It has disappeared from the list, so I can no longer install it.
So I guess the real question is what determines what is in that list.
Hmmm....I wonder if that is a Samsung widget, which won't work with Launcher Pro.
....
Nope, I don't see it no matter which launcher I select. I wonder what else is missing.

i have it working with launcher pro
I'm a dork today. I found it. And if I had slowed down and read Croak's reply and paid attention he had the answer.
What I was skipping was selecting Settings after going into the shortcuts. I was thinking that was the settings ICON to open general settings.
I use widgetlocker for a nice custom lockscreen on my Desire and would like to do the same on the TAB but can't get it to remove the similar Samsung lockscreen - when I press the power button or the device times out, I am greeted with the widgetlocker lockscreen and then the Samsung one is underneath?!
I've sent a mail to the developer but wondered if anyone else was using it and had managed to overcome this somehow...
If I hear more from the developer I'll post it here too.
Had the same issue. First time I chose the root bypass of five second thing, it got rid of the stock lockscreen, but after a reboot it came back reguardless of what I do

Kevin the developer got back to my email. All you need to do is go to Buttons and Inputs and select Easy Wake Mode. I've done that and the Samsung one doesn't come up
LockScreen Doesnt Appear FullScreen
I have purchased and Install WidgetLocker on my Galaxy Tab.
But the lockscreen does not appear in full screen, guess it is shrt of 1 row
Any Idea how to fix it? Attached pic for your reference (Please focus Towards the right side of the screen)
You can take a screenshot of the tab by pressing back + power. That picture is huuuuuuuge.

Sorry just notice the trick to capture a screenshot. By the way any chance to get the problem fixed?
it might be cause by the broken image of the 'bar' inside the apk. so far all the version of widgetlocker i use on my tab did not have this problem.

I have reinstall it but the problem is still there when I used rotary or Sense UI lockscreen. Appreciate some answer.
Is it because I'm using launcherProPlus with my SGT? An my Tab is not rooted, is it because of that?
I have wigetlocker on my tab and looks and works fine. I haven't had any problems with it.
Rahuldave-
Same issue here...emailed dev, said he was working on update for the Tab. FYI

Thought I'm alone. I have got reply from Kevin TeslaCoil mentioning the same. Thanks
Also still having some issues myself. Rooted with z4root and checked easy wake mode but i occasionally get a message saying widgetlocker has been given superuser access and then the stock lockscreen will show up again when i next turn the screen off and on again. It'll be fine then for a couple of hours and then do it again. Hopefully the dev will get to the bottom of this. Might fire him a quick email again.

Hi there,
I was tinkering with my Nexus S when i stumbled upon a problem. Wanted to put a shortcut on my homescreen so that when i pressed it, it would go to the the dialer screen. However when i chose "Phone" app as the action it goes to the call log screen instead of the dialer screen.
My question is how do i make it go straight to the dialer screen instead of the call log screen? I've tried long pressing and going to action>dialer but cant seem to get the right action to go to the dialer screen.
Btw im using ADW launcher
Appreciate the help peeps. =D
Need help guys!
Have you tried Any Cut?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.appdroid.anycut&feature=search_result
Thanks for the suggestion. tried any cut. The problem isn't how to get a shortcut. I just don't know which activity to attach to the shortcut so that it will go to the default dialer.
Every time i set the shortcut to phone it will go to call log screen. I'd have to press on the dialer tab to go to the dialer screen. so i just want to bypass that. I want to know how to set a shortcut so that it goes straight to the dialer screen.
Any cut has an option to create your own shortcut, but according to this :http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable and this:http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html it´s possible to make a direct call, but I am not sure about bringing only the dialer... need a little more research. I´ll let you know if I find something.
Thanks alot. Hope other members have the answer.
Any suggestions?
Help me out here people..
Download desktop Visualizer from the market and on your desktop create a phone widget. This will take you to the dialer screen (just tested it)
Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Nexus S from the XDA Premium app.
I've been using desktop visualizer to set up my homescreen frm the start. Anyways tried to set the phone widget again but now when i press it it goes to the favourites screen instead! Very frustrating =S
Any way to set the phone widget default screen to dialer?
Try going into settings > Call Settings > Always back to call log and uncheck box may help.
Also in Phone app go to settings > Return to dialer after call and check box.
Hope it helps you.
How do u get to the settings mentioned above? I tried gg to these settings but there isnt such options. Tried long pressing but still no such options. Im using Nexus S android 2.3.2.

Hi,
I posted the answer in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12021463#post12021463

Thank you so much! Finally problem solved!
For many, above steps doesn't solve the problem. This might help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681695

this solution is without using any third party contacts app!!!
Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.
I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.
I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.
Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday
It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...
The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.
I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.
Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.
1st - Web
2nd - Phone
3rd - Gmail
4th - Messages
With all these issues I'm seeing I think ima just stick to leedroid or stock rooted. I'm playing around on my myTouch before I sale it.

I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).
Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.
I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands
The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.
I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?
This morning I noticed something odd happening with multi-touch controls while playing a game (Cordy). Whenever I would jump, I would then stop moving as if the controls stopped responding. I tried basic troubleshooting, restarting the app, closing other apps, rebooting the phone etc, but the problem persisted.
So I then downloaded a multi-touch testing app from the Play store to see if this was an issue with the controls in the game or with the phone, and found that when I have two touch points on the screen and then release one - like for example pressing the jump button in a platformer - the screen loses both touch points.
So, after all that, I was curious if anybody else is having this issue with their phone. This is not the first time I've played a game on my phone, nor even the first time I've played Cordy...but I've never noticed this before. Can anybody confirm this is related to the implementation of multi-touch on the One X and not an defect with my particular unit?
Does the G-nex or other phones have a similar implementation of multi-touch?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I did kind of notice something that sounds like it's in the same ballpark. I bought NBA Jam for my One X and it plays well, but I noticed that sometimes it seems like if I am still moving (using left touch) I sometimes cannot hit the buttons. I thought it might have been a calibration issue, but it does sound very close to what you were mentioning. Anyone else seen this?
I used this app as well as this app to test, if anybody else would like to try it for themselves.

I just tried out the first app and I cannot replicate your problem. I can use all 10 of my fingers at the same time and remove any at will without losing any other touch points.
I've seen a thread on this before and the problem is probably worthy of invoking your warranty over.
Thanks for the links. I just tested and it looks like there are only 2 touch points and then becomes unresponsive to touch inputs. Does anyone know if this is a hardware limitation or software?
Aaron
Edit: I turned off HTC Gestures in the Display and Gestures option in Settings and I am up to 10 points now.
Just an update, this appears to be an issue related to the use of WidgetLocker. Disabling WidgetLocker allows me to remove a contact point on the screen with out losing all of them, enabling WidgetLocker brings the issue back. I messed around with some settings in WidgetLocker but could not find a solution to this issue. I'll try contacting the developer and seeing if this is a bug with WidgetLocker that can be fixed, or perhaps an issue with Sense 4.0.

Do you have HTC gestures enabled on the phone? Once I turned them off I was able to multitouch with 10 points again.
I have widget locker installed as well. I have the amazon version 2.2.4 which isn't the current version. Widget locker on the amazon app store is version 2.2.4 and on the google play store is 2.2.7 so if you installed the amazon one it is out of date...like a lot of apps on the amazon store theses days it seems.
Aaron
Nope, I disabled HTC gestures on day one (just not a feature I'm interested in), however I did enable it after you brought it up and noticed the same thing you did.
With regards to Widget Locker, I'm using the latest version from the Play store - in fact, I just purchased Widget Locker last night, which would explain why this issue just cropped up! However, I'm glad to hear that Widget Locker does in fact work for you guys... I just have to figure out what is causing the multi-touch conflict on my phone.
