Something strange happened. I rebooted my phone and now the lock screen application shortcuts are gone, it also doesn't show the weather. I tried switching lock screens but no matter which I choose it doesn't show the widget associated with it or any app shortcuts. Just the ring and the time. Anyone else experience this?

I have the exact same issue.
I noticed this after I installed SwiftKey and Swype. I uninstalled both but the problem still persists.
It would suck if I have to do a factory reset to fix this!

Guys, Whenever I restart my HTC Sensation, icons like WhatsAPP , ebuddy and some icons turn to the default icon of an app. Its not the oringial icon.
How do i prevent this from happening?
Don't restart the phone.

Because your app stored in SD card. That's what will happen after restart phone.

Hi, everyday
Is there a way to have the apps in SD card and also have the actual icons ?
As long as you don't restart your phone, it will be fine. Maybe there is other way to solve it.

that happens to me too, lol. annoying. but i dont ever restart my phone anymore.. i use the app called fast reboot... does everything except shut the phone down
Try changing skin. I had the problem that my icons in folders changed to the market icon after restart. When I change skin (and back again to get the one I had) all icons reapear Hope this helps you!

I use Better Cut and it seems to work well. I had a similar issue with my Samsung Vibrant.
I received my Sensation yesterday and I am running into some issues with it.
1) There are random instances where I will hit the power button to wake up my device and lock circle is in the middle of the screen and bottom half of the screen is all black and the device will not unlock.
I have been using the weather lockscreen when this happens after the last lockup I switched it back to the wallpaper lockscreen to see if I can duplicate it. So far I have been unable to duplicate the issue.
When this issue occurs all i can do is pull the battery.
2) When I move an app to the SD card and put a shortcut on my home screen then reboot my device the icon for the application that was move to the storage card disappears.
1. I noticed this too, its a bug that happens when the screen is locked in landscape mode. Unlock the screen by sliding where the little circle would have been normally. Then relock the screen in horizontal rotation.
2. This usually occurs if either the app got corrupt on the sd card or more likely the sd card is too slow in loading icons at boot. Whenever I had this issue, I just reset the Sensation and let it sit after a reboot for a few minutes before unlocking it.
I just got this today and was going to ask about it thanks for the workaround solution
the half screen lock issue
I've never had this issue and i can't duplicate it even when i lock the device in landscape. I would ask for a new device.

I've only noticed it with the weather lock screen specifically. I wonder how many other people have had this problem.

I'm using the weather lock screen since i got the phone ( three weeks ago ) and i've never had this prob. On the other hand i have a european sensation so maybe it's a tmo thing. I believe it's software related but anyway it is an issue. You can wait for an OTA and hope that it will fix it or you can ask for a replacement.

I can't duplicate it either, but I definitely had it. I had to touch where the ring normally was and drag to unlock. You could see the ring move on the upper half of the screen, although you were moving from the bottom. It wouldn't go away until I powered down and booted back up (not in fast boot).
My issue with the weather lockscreen is the ring will not respond when I touch it to unlock? I have to swipe/finesse at it a couple of times til I can get it to uplock?

can confirm this mainly on the weather lock but...i notice the lock randomly hard to unlock, have to do same and swipe a few times but everything else is snappy
Unable to duplicate. Have been using weather lock exclusively. Could be your selection of shortcuts?
I actually just seen a video on YouTube where the person had the issue you just spoke of.

Ive had this only on the weather lockcreen and only when ive replied to an Handcent message popup while the phone is locked. Like someone else posted if you pull up from where it should be it works but only a reboot sorts it.

If its software what will getting it replaced solve?
I recently Flashed GB and Valhalla. I can't seem to get the "Phone" icon on the home screen to show up to get to the dialer pad.
I have contacts - messaging - applications. Any fixes?
Is it in your app drawer? If it is, open the app drawer. Press on the menu key choose edit and drag the phone icon where u want it. Hit menu again then select "save". Let me know if it works.

No I don't see it in there.
Have you rebooted your phone? Maybe back everything up and do a factory data reset. That should fix it.

It's in there, unless you were unlucky enough to get a bad download.

Reset to factory and still nothing. Same 3 icons and it is still not in the app drawer
----------------------
When I drag the phone option on the lock screen to open it..it just freezes, kills and reloads to the lock screen as well as the EDT slide function on the lock screen. The unlock slide works fine.
I would download the rom again and reflash

Fixed. Just re-downloaded the ROM and flashed it. Thanks!

Ish. Well now it just constantly resets and reloads itself ..the launcher.
Constant soft boots.

Bad download would give an error 6 in CWM.

Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....
I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

I presume you have set the lock screen to "none" in the actual phone settings too?

Hi, chrcad,
Finally, the someone else who's been having the same problem.
It IS really irritating. Sometimes it's OK, but other times it just comes on.
Have turned off the lock screen option, but same thing happens. Someone please help!

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.
chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?
you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?
I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.
I have the T-mobile HTC One S and I notice my Lock Screen Style for Producivity is not working.
I got upcoming appointments, miss phone call and new email and none of them show up on the lock screen.
I have no data plan on mine and I use the Wifi. I dont know if that is the problem or not.
Anyone have any clue?
Rooted or not?
Did you enable the productivity lockscreen under personalization?
The phone is not rooted.
OK, now I did a test and I call from another phone and I can see on thte lock screen I miss the call.
I guess it is working.
All of those things should show up on any lockscreen...just saying
