I'm having problems with some of the widgets displaying on my home screens.
Some, but not all of them, have what I would describe as a static appearance covering part of the icon, usually in a bar across the width of the icon.
The issue affects different widgets at different times but would appear to only be ones added by the apps I've downloaded rather than the "stock" ones.
I'm hoping I'm not alone in this and that better still, someone knows how to sort it?

I had that too. On one widget. I simply rebooted my device, and it went away. Not come back since. Not totally sure what it is to be honest.

Yeah, I had the same. A reboot fixed it and not happened again.
Cheers guys will give that a go....
On another note, how are you finding the Sensation? I came from a rooted Desire so the leap doesn't seem quite as big as maybe I'd hoped, not too impressed with the "locally stored" navigation maps not being free as it was always publicised...
Apart from that I'm well impressed, as are my colleagues more importantly! ;-)

I am very impressed by the device. Looks amazing. I love the new screen, much better than the WVGA on the Desire HD. qHD is lovely. Missing the root though. Really hope there are some breakthroughs when more devs have the device.
Have same problem too. noticed it on the stock android power widget and also the facebook widget. I can only describe it like "bad tv reception". hoping it will clear up after a reboot. haven't noticed it with any of the htc widgets.
Just picked up Sensation today. So far loving it. this has been the only problem I've encountered so far.
From what I have read so far this issue is known and is believed to be a software issue. I have experienced this on a few non htc widgets. I tend to agree with the notion that it's because not all apps can keep up with the new qHD screen.
Agreed: Only 'major' issue for me as well

I've had my phone for a few days (luck to find a Walmart that sold it to me). I received "static lines" on my power widget. I rebooted this once, and all is well. It only affected that one widget. Reminds me of a video card going out on a computer (again just on the widget).
Oh, I also noticed that the voice recorder widget (from htc Hub) wouldn't turn on when I pressed the widget.
I'm having this static lines issue also. Do the guys from HTC know that? Hope it is gonna be fixed in the new firmware.
I'm having a serious issue with the widgets, worse than what I've seen described here. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It can affect almost all widgets at one time or perhaps just a few. Rebooting sometimes but by no means always helps, as does switching skins.
I expect it is indeed a software issue. I'm hoping an update with smooth things out a bit, but I sure as heck haven't heard of any updates any time soon for T-Mobile, S-OFF or otherwise.
I had this issue too. Where random widgets would show some static graphic corruption. But yesterday I got the OTA update and after that all these issues seems gone. So definitely a software issue.
I have now started to get this, I have found killing HTC sense removes this for a while but it then comes back....
Never had until now..and had for month or so now...
Could anyone with this issue please have a look at this thread and confirm that these are same problems?

Same problem - horizontal "rainbow" lines through widgets.
Can anyone else who got the OTA update confirm that it fixes this issue?

I had the same problem.the power widget,youtube widget and PowerAamp widget all have those horizontal rainbow lines.i just deleted them from the screen then added them back...that cleared the problem for me.
I actually noticed something very similar to this, but it was in Wordfeud. Across the bottom, where all your letters are, I had the same thing happening. I did a reset and it hasn't come back... as of now, anyways.

Ive always seen some black lines in the letters in wordfued... figured it was a compatability issue. The always go away as soon as I touch the screen..
Same problem here, it happens with 3rd party apps and also with with stock apps like google search bar or tips widget(it's random)
I hope that it will be fixed soon.
Had this twice, first time after Hub downloads second time just happened but the phone had like 80 RAM left. First time did a reset and never again touched the damn buggy Hub (didn't let me login again anyway). Second time a battery pull fixed it. Awful stuff.

EDIT 2: Okay! I got it. Here are the other apps I installed this morning that gave me the problems again but are not gone after I uninstalled them: Linpack and Quadrant. Please give feedback as to which apps I've uninstalled that you currently have on your phone.
EDIT: Never mind. It came back again. I'm still trying to find the culprit. I'll update you guys if I find anything.
I think I may know why we have this problem. I noticed this happen to me when I first started installing apps on my phone which I bought just 3 days ago. At first, I rebooted to get rid of it, but then it would come back as soon as I touched the screen, not even on an icon or widget. So I thought of the last app I installed and uninstall it. After rebooting, the problem was gone. I did a few tests and it seems to only happen with apps that require root access.
Can you guys confirm this for me?
So far my theory is working. I've tested with apps like ROM Manager, SetCPU, Root Explorer, etc. Right after I install, the problem appears. After uninstalling, I reboot and the problem is gone.

I am not too sure if anyone has come across the same issue as I have but I wanted to share this with everyone.
Basically I had noticed that I was having major issues w/my contacts loading up when initiating my dialer and most of my widgets were not loading up, and last but not least a lot of my apps continuously force closed through out the day.
Long story short... if you're having these issues I suggest you uninstall Launcherpro. I actually was utilizing Launcherpro plus but apparently, Launcherpro has been the root of the problem for most of these issues and also was a major part as to why my battery would not stay at full charge for long. And to my surprise I was actually able to confirm with a tier 2 tech support rep...
Once I uninstalled it I was able to use my phone flawlessly again.
AGAIN... I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned previously but I was going insane thinking that I had a defective phone, so for anyone that is having these issues please know that Launcherpro apparently is not compatible quite yet to the TBolt.
I haven't had a issues with LP on my Tbolt, and to be honest I feel like my battery has actually improved since I installed it.
All phoes react different. When I got my tbolt I was having issues with my sms. This was like 3 hours after I got the phone. So I did a factory reset on my device and no problems whatsoever. (Knock on wood) hope this helps.

I was wondering why my contact would take forever to load up when I wanted to make a phone call lol. Works fine now that I uninstalled Launcherpro. Thanks!
The dialer contacts problem was solved in another thread. All you have to do is change the dock shortcut to something else and then change it back to the dialer, works perfectly fine now. I've been using LPP since day1 and haven't had any of the other issues you're having so I'm not sure what's going on there.

We are all excited to use the new G2X but it seems some of us ara having several issues with this phone.
I am creating this poll so we get a real world number on how many people are having issues so we can find out whether this is related to first batch of hardware or mere software issues.
Please pick your issue and vote...thanks.!!
If you have further comments, please post as well.
I've had mine since saturday around 11am eastern, got saturday delivery, one of the lucky few and have not noticed anything wrong with it. No bleed or reboots.
Only thing odd is when powering on the home screen will show about .1 second and then the lock screen but I think that happens on the O2x too..sorry to hear/see others having issues though.
I've tried to find fault with mine and just can't. I put a black wallpaper on it looked hard for the bleed nothing and the rebooting, i just haven't had any!
No issues here either, its working great for me
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I think mine is OK so far.
Mine has the issue where it won't unlock because the screen won't turn on
Great so far.. Only had it for 2 hours though.... Voted no issues... Keeping stock launcher only for a few days, just cause its so smooth....
Phones absolutely great, as long as it don't reboot I'm golden... Ill keep posted on any issues... Gps is fantastic vs my vibrant...
I either (hopefully) have a dud phone or there's something whacky software wise on my phone. I have a replacement coming in a few days so I'll see if that one still has the same issue or not.
I mentioned this on another thread, but I'll say it again here....I think you can multiply the "no issues" number by about 10 for 2 reasons:
1. People with no issues don't commonly open up "issues" threads.
2. People are reluctant to fill out a poll saying the have no issues because they realize they may have an issue later.
Heck, theres two people already above me that say they have no issues yet, but haven't entered it on the poll.
Side notes: Really, I would think almost everyone should have the reboot issue. It is a very very known issues that LG has already admitted to and started sending OTA fixes for. Also, "GPS issues" is very relative as it's being compared to however you previous phone or other GPS devices performed. Unless it's really malfunctioning (turning off for no reason or refusing to turn on) I wouldn't call it an "issue".

Anybody with NO issues running LauncherPro or ADW EX or some other launcher except the stock? I'm running out of ideas - now trying stock launcher and not LauncherPro. Have an exchange unit coming so if that one has issues there's a good chance it's software and not hardware - or I have horrible luck!
Got off the phone - replacement phone will be here tomorrow!
I've had the phone for 4 hours and I have had to pull the battery out twice to get it to turn back on, and I've had two instances where it just rebooted lol, Ive barely done anything with it but charge it.

i noticed some decent bleeding in the bottom corner AFTER the posts...
i love the phone thats my only problem
i have rooted my phone... and froze alot of the apps that tmobile put on it...
cant wait for some beastly kernel to walk into my path.... till then im gonna give it 4./5 (because of the bleeding)
Ton of bleeding at the top.. T-Mobile rep wouldn't let me exchange it. It was not deemed defective by her standards. I'm pissed. It also has a noticeable red tint.
No issues here so far, im stuck at work so I cant look into it at the moment.

Hi All,
As I've previously mentioned in the first impressions thread we have a persistent issue with our ChaCha that has been present on the two devices we have had and has not been fixed by the 1.18 update.
After pressing the SYM key to bring up the symbols\smilies whatever symbol that is highlighted blue persists on the screen after selected. This can usually be cleared away by tapping around the screen or exiting the SMS\Talk app but occasionally it persists, needing a reboot to clear.
Has anyone else seen this? I initially thought it was an issue with the first device alone, but now it is happening with the second device, and after the update, surely others must be seeing this also?
No one?

in my chacha everything work normal, no issue.
My chacha takes me to the very first SMS of a contact frequently while typing a reply.
Very frustrating if you have to go all the way down among 300+ SMS in a conversation. But going to home screen and then back to the SMS is ok since the message its saved as draft either way.
This happens almost every time i want to reply to someone.
Gave up in the end. Issue kept occurring, also had a problem with the camera not starting and needing a reboot. Carphone warehouse were really good about it so swapped for a desire s.
Hope no-one else has issues as its a great phone without the bugs!

I've had the symbol box stick on screen once so far (had the phone 3 days) but it went away pretty quickly afterwards. Certainly doesn't seem to be anything I'd be too worried about.

The trouble we had was that every once in a while it wouldn't disappear, reboot would be needed.this started happening more frequently. This, along with the
Camera force closing and then not working until a reboot, made it feel like a flawed device. Shame as we loved the design, look and feel of the phone.

Is this issue present in all or common in Chaha phones?
So I'm guessing this SMS jumping to the top problem is isolated or rare by the lack of replies.. Right? That's a good news! Right?
Hi,
my girlfriend got her Sensation this week and the phone got some strange graphic issues. They only appear on two of the homescreens and NOT in the lockscreen and NOT in other apps.
Please see the attachments for review. These lines change the position from time to time. The widgets used there are used by me too and i have no problems with them.
It seems to be a problem with the gpu i think. But it's very strange that these issues only appear on two homescreens.
What do you think? Do we have to send it back to T-Mobile to get a replacement?
Or is this a "known issue". Btw - The FOTA is not rolled out by ******* T-mobile.
Regards
Daniel
Try taking the battery out without turning the phone off first. Then put it back in and boot it back up. That fixed some nasty issues for my GF's brand new Samsung Exhibit.

That's the problem many of us are having, especially with third-party widgets.
Someone here mentioned that the OTA update fixed the problem for them, but I haven't seen anyone else confirm this yet.
I have it recurring somewhat too. When it starts happening, often I can remove the widget and replace it and that will fix it. Sometimes I have to do a restart.
The interesting thing is that i use the "same" ROM as base on my Desire HD (Virt. Unity 1.27) and i have none of that...

its definately a software issue, and mostly related to 3rd party apps...this happens for me with; dictionary widget, current widget, and the stock connectivity widget
The widget in the pic is from HTC Hub
I got the widget from HTC Hub and it's powered by Google.
This happened to me and my buddy on our sensations this fixed it, havent had it since.
1.) Delete the widgets its happening too
2.) Disable Fast Boot
3.) Turn off phone and turn back on (not restart)
4.) Put widgets back
i am using Android Revolution HD 1.1.7, and i get this problem on -
BeyondPod
AudioManager
I had this problem on my stock rom and on the AR rom, it may be app related but not sure. What i am sure of is the problem is following me around
Same problem here on Android Revolution HD 1.1.7 (installed after Super Wipe). Deleting the widgets that caused trouble and adding them back seemed to cure the problem.
I am facing this issue since the first day, I took the device to HTC Care center, and after two days they informed me that the problem is not in the device. Those old widgets were designed for old resolution devices, and since our device has higher resolution with more advanced screen, then the widgets developers shall keep this in mind in their new widgets versions

NOT completely true, this happens to me with HTC's power control and google search widgets, and exclusively with those two widgets, removing and adding the widgets help but it comes back every once in a while, still don't know what triggers the issue though.
So, I was listening to Google Music, playing Words With Friends, and all of a sudden my phone's screen went a little crazy. Wish I could have grabbed a screen shot, but the best I can describe it as is it got "blurry" or "fuzzy" looking. I was able to click and go to other apps, but the screen was still not right. I managed to reboot the phone and it was back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this? My first instinct is to take it back to AT&t and try to get a replacement, but I don't want to take any drastic action if this is something that is already a known issue (thought I couldn't find any posts about it) and might be fixed in an update, or if it could have just been a fluke...
What would you guys do? Everything else about the phone is fine (working wi-fi, no light bleed, etc.) so i'd hate to get a replacement that has issues, but at the same time if i'm going to keep getting this issue every so often, I'd rather replace it...hmmm, what to do???
I would try getting a replacement but good luck getting one with the current apple law suit.

had a similar "screen" experience when i tried to use Ivona Voice for TTS. when i selected Ivona Voice as my TTS option, the screen would move up and down like i was scrolling up and down. i removed and reinstalled the app only to see the same behavior. i removed the app and have not had any screen issues since then.
fyi, my phone is rooted and i'm using the 1.82 RUU.

I'm wondering if this might actually be a problem with android 4 and sense 4. I have noticed the weird graphical issues but have never been able to duplicate them.

This is 99% likely not a phone issue and is software related. Too many people immediately returning phones without thinking or investigating. This may be free to do and is your right to do but it just drives up costs for everyone in the long run. Just my two cents.
Edit: sorry, I know you are trying to investigate now...I'm mainly referring to the peeps that always instinctively recommend exchanges.
