I don't know if I just never noticed this since I just got the phone on Friday but every time I slide out the keyboard, it'll show the landscape home screen for a few seconds and then open up the phone and I have to hit home to get back. Same when I slide the keyboard back in. I have changed a couple things like the clock, icons, slider, landscape icons, and so that the portrait left softkey opens contacts instead of phone. Any ideas? Thanks!
im actually having the same problem, everytime i open up the phone say to respond to a text message or something the phone screen (dialer screen) pops up and i have to close it and then go back to my text message inbox.
anyone know whats causing this?
This is a known problem that HTC needs to do something about. Some of the custom ROM's tend to do this with less frequency.
Same problem here! Have had the phone for around 3 weeks, just started happening yesterday.
Any solutions?
Thread isn't getting much attention.
I flashed NATF's latest Raphael RoOM (4.1) around a week ago, and I haven't had the problem again.

I believe theres a reg edit for this, but you must re enable it after a while.
Hi i had thesame problem, is something to do with animated taskbar icons, uninstal them and see whats hapened
I bought Sensation 2 days ago, and saw these strange lines over the Winamp widget. It was only in the space which was for the Winamp widget, and after I removed widget, the lines were gone.
That happened twice, and the similar lines appeared on the "show me" widget, which was "factory installed", so the problem is not Winamp probably.
Should I return the phone now, or wait to see will this become permanent?

Can you force this to be happening? I dont believe they'd take the phone back unless you can prove the fault...
Anyway, I'd give it a go and see what happens, if it gets any worse, you can always request warranty repair, for as long as the phone aint rooted etc.
EDIT: Looked at the pic you posted again, it doesnt seem to be HW fault, its more likely an SW issue... well, obviously 2.3 aint ready for this resolution, I hope devs reacts soon so this can get fixed
If it was the Winamp widget only, that'd be the problem, as I'd say it wasn't set up for qHD, or configured correctly etc
Move either of the widgets that have the issue to another part of the screen, then another homescreen. Just don't keep it in that physical rectangle area of the screen.
I dont know how to force that error again. I would like that it was a software, its easier to fix, I think.
When I was moving the Winamp widget, those lines were moving with the widget.
Same issue here, mostly comming up on the google search widget and the getting started button, restarting the theme solves this for a while.

If it moves with the widget, it's likely to be a software issue
This happens with a lot of widgets which cannot stretch or scale properly to the qHD screen.
The fact that the lines move around with the widget and then disappear when the widget is removed clarifies this.
Obviously one of HTC's own widgets is unable to cope too.
Might also be related to Sense 3.0. Have you tried the same widgets with a different launcher?
I havent try with the different launcher, because I cant force those lines to appear again. It only happened twice. Winamp widget works perfectly for now.
I have the same issue, with AudioGuru's widget. When i removed the widget the lines are gone!!!!

Clearly, this + the lads arround, this is a SW issue only, not optimised widget for such a big difference... more the qHD displays will be on sale, the faster we get updates... Also, maybe Google will release some update on Android 2.3.5 maybe that might fix most of the problems with the screen
I have to agree with the Software camp on this (though initially I thought for sure it was hardware)
When I look closely at the pic you have the lines start inside of the screen and end inside of the screen with a border of clean pixels before the edge of the screen. (Line is framed inside of screen) If the line went all the way across I would be still be thinking hardware.
If the problem is that the software is not optimized with qHD, then I guess I have nothing to worry about.
Thank you all for your answers.
U was shocked to see my screen is damaged but when i swiped to another page, gone. Tried moving the widget and the lines move too. So yes, its the widgets. On mine, its tweetdeck bar

this happened to me with the amazon mp3 widget, and i had 2 other widgets on the same page. it went away and never came back. that's the only "issue" i've had with this phone.
same thing happened to me with blue facebook app. i restarted phone, hasn't come back since.
Yep I've had the same issues, figured it was software issue due to the way it was working.
I did soft reset that clears it for while anyways.
Same problem here.
A way to fix them all without any reset or removing the widgets is to go into your app settings and restart the Sense app.
It will restart rosie and fixes all the widgets with lines.
Very annoying tho

Exactly!
Here is the video, how the line (this time only one line) is moving with the widget.
This one appeared after I played few 3D games.

Has anyone had issues with native android widgets on the sensation? My Youtube Widget, News and Extended Control Widgets have a line running across it and sometimes they look distorted. Once i remove the widget from the screen the line disappears. This issue doesnt occur if i have the HTC Widgets on the screen.
Yeah I have this issue ... I think its the resolution of the screen is to high for native widgets I don't use them much anyway

Me too....sigh!!!!!
I just tried it on mine and I don't have any of those problems
I just tried YouTube and News widgets on my Sensation, no lines on it. Maybe 1.35 fixed it?
I noticed the same problem on my sensation, as well as my brothers. Although, it is not limited to Youtube. Today I learned that it affects the facebook widget, pulse widget, wikitube widget, and even brightness app launcher. Fortunately, the lines/digital noise go away when you remove the widget and put it back. Or, you restart your phone.

I also noticed when you remove the widget and put it back or restart your phone it goes away as well.
whew, thanks for the info. I've just got the phone less than a week ago and noticed the problem and was worried whether it's just a software issue or a hardware memory fault or something.
Hello,
Same here with many widgets including calendar and battery widgets.
Using carrier modified ROM.
Hope HTC fixes this soon and carrier also releases the update...
Here is the response from HTC
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.
Note: - In the restore factory settings all your data will be lost . So before performing the hard reset please take the backup of your device.
trying right now, hope it will work from now one
I get the same "noise" on widgets from Pandora and ESPN. Possible Driver issue? Rebooting, changing the Skin, and removal - replacement of the widget clears the noise.
GOt em here too on Pandora, Google search and +. Reboot takes it away for a while but it creeps back. Damn really htc? the resolution is "too good" gotta get this stuff ironed out before releasing a device. Good thing there's root and backup capability!
Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. I have had my phone for over a month, and love it, normally DO NOT like widgets but I must say Circles is cool. So I have been running circle widget since I bought the phone, and have had no issue. One NIGHT about 10pm i unlocked my phone to see the weather in my area was SUNNY and 40. As I looked out the windows, I would say moony but not sunny. After further looking, I found that if I turned of use location in the weather settings, and put my city there, updating worked fine. I don't mind this, but I like the use location cause as I travel from place to place, I have a quick look at the weather for where I am as opposed to having to change cities. Any Thoughts? I hopped that the JB OTA might fix this, but it did not seem to.
I noticed my maxx hd doing this same exact thing a few days ago. It normally works great and updates very quickly but the last few days its been getting stuck for some reason. A few reboots seemed to straighten it out for now.
Sounds dumb, but try pulling that widget off your screen, and clearing app data/cache in app manager. Reboot, then put it back on. Sounds like it could be a cache error.
