This "Pull the Ring" to unlock on the unlock screen is driving me nuts!! I love everything else about this phone 100% in lust, but the lock screen is terrible. It takes like 3-4 swipes (for me at least) before it unlocks. Shoot, I'd be happy with the old Eclair 2.1 lock screen at this point. Has anyone used an alternate lock screen that works without Root access (obviously). Any assistance is appreciated.

I personally like the lock screen and mine has always unlocked very easily the first time. But if you are looking for a good lock screen replacement, use widget locker from the market. It's fully customizable with hundreds of locks to choose from (located in the widget locker thread here on xda)

Thank you. I will try that. In my case maybe it's user error, but in any case it still sucks for me . Thanks again!

Any Ideas, Apps Other then FLYSCREEN(HORRIBLE RES) I WOULD LIKE to get the actually slide to unlock orignal app on my evo. Any ideas suggestions??

So i like what i see with the trail version, BUt what settings are you able to change when you purchase the full version, I dont like the slide button, and the top curtain isnt showing, and those icons are at the bottom, do those disappear when purchased and can you change the slider button
honestly theres so many threads regarding windows mobile apps and i can say honestly...that theres better options with android. Lockbotpro ...check it out.

I tired lockbot the resolutions were poor, On everyone one of them, except the x10 swipe lock, The slide to unlock looked poorly put together But thanks for the suggest, Does have a good selection from the moment unlock, hero unlock, slide 2 unlock, but just didnt feel satisfied with it.
nevermind...
lockbot pro has been the best for me... gives you every lock option that we've seen for our android phones and the iphone like lock screen, best part is.. you can customize it on the fly from the app

I have the same issue with the grapic glitches on the widgets -change my live wallpaper from weather to grass for the night changed it back to the weather today seems ok ---you can use a 3rd party app to take a screen shot drocap/shoot me etc search screen shots in market ---really don't thing there is much you can do if it is an issue with the device maybe get a replacement or hopefully an ota update will fix
shoot me - requires root right?!
just use ur digitial camera.
there's one or two threads about this already. general consensus is that the widgets don't know what to do with higher resolution. don't know if search is working right now but the threads are out there

So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button
I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.
I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)
Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

I posted this on another thread but I noticed that if you swipe really fast on one screen, without moving between home screens, it will always spin.
Just swipe really fast.
tried this fix and didnt work

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

No it does not. Not on mine. Yours will get worse untill that doesnt work for you either.

Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.
Hi,
I just wanted to ask if there's a possibility to implement "softkey swipe 2 wake/unlock" (similar to the HTC desire trackpad to wake/unlock)
thx
This would be so nice. Currently my routine is: press power button to wake, swipe screen, then enter pattern to unlock. Seems ridiculous.

Same here, it's so annoying. I quite like the face unlock, especially in the car,uch easier, but what's the point if I have to move that ring before I unlock?
Someone must know how to remove it, and just use the pattern unlock or the face unlock?
I know on CM9 you can disable the lockscreen completely (power goes straight to homescreen or open app) but cm9 on this phone isnt quite usable as an end user yet, but maybe devs might be able to put this into one of the sense roms, although im guessing this would be the least of their worries.
I think the softkey swipe to unlock would look sexy as hell though

Would be a great idea but probably uses too much battery life to keep monitoring the screen for input.
Yea I loved the Swipe2Wake function on the Sensation. It did hit the battery life pretty hard though.
Functionality wise it was amazing though especially when driving.

Once we get source release this will hopefully be possible.
Just arrived on One X and used it myself for a bit. Battery wasn't hit too hard but the battery was awful anyway
Thats a great feature, hope comes for One S
It would be very useful to remove the lockscreen, the only flaw is the battery
Well, what if we would make it work only when the screen is turned on, so after you've pressed the power button. then it wouldn't drain that much of the battery and it would still look cool
I have a related question for which I have needed the answer for about 2 years...
How do you lock your desktop? As in causing the ring lock screen to come up by choice... I have always just found this lock screen up after x minutes...but I don't know how to turn it on when I want.
I am sure there is a way, but I have not found it. Anyone?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
I don't have the names handy, but have used screen lock apps from the market. You should be able to find a solution there. For those that find it a pain to hit the power button.. (me)

It woks most of the time in my home, but not all the time...
Make sure you don't have any apps setup to turn the screen off, IE I used to have tasker setup to turn screen off when i set it on wireless charger, but was actually locking the device each time. I've heard others mention the same thing with other apps. So Rule that out first. Otherwise it is not 100% unfortunately.

Also something wise I just found out while experimenting is that of you are device only for gps it never works either.
Basically it is face unlock. Wait for a few seconds and you should see the lock become unlocked at the bottom

I use high accuracy....yes I waited like 30 seconds and nothing......oh well I am putting it to 30 minutes because I hate using a lock to be honest. I moved to Medellin from the states and girls whatsapp me every 5 seconds. I don't have time to unlocked that much lol

Its face unlock that sucks. Face unlock on KK you just point the device and if its good, it goes straight to your home screen. No swipes, no hands.
This version always takes a swipe even if successful and as you can see yourself, you cant direct the camera.
Talk about fixing something that isnt broken google! :crying::crying::crying:
It depends on your usage. On KK, when glancing on my phone when changing the music track with lock screen controls often unlocked my phone accidentally, so I needed to lock again. Now on Lolipop, I can change tracks without worrying to unlock.

Yes, if you are listening to music all of the time when using your phone I take your point.
I'm not against what they have done in Lollipop, I'm against the lack of choice.
