Hi,
I think a similar problem has been asked earlier, but I've had no luck. My "Rappy" won't update appointments correctly on the home screen. And no, I don't use the big clock so that only 1 appointment is displayed - I always use the small one. The bug has no clear pattern as far as I can see - but usually the home screen shows only 1 of tomorrows appointments (when I have 4 that day - and no all-day appointments). Sometimes, but rarely, it displays some of tomorrows appointments, and after 0:00, some of the next appointments may appear.
I use TouchFlo3D yes, but even turning it off, the bug is still there - so it's probably not TF3D. I've checked the options for today, and even changed the calendar options (even though TF3d overrides it and removes the v next to Calendar). I've tried changing today time-out to something else than 6 hours - no luck. I've tried editing or deleting the appointments, and making them over again - no luck.
Any ideas? I've recently hard-reset it and it messed up all my text-messages - so I'm hoping there is some other way than to hard-reset it again? Also, I'm probably kinda weird but I like the simplistic look on Home screen with the small clock - it's simple and fast to see the clock and upcoming appointments (when that works ), and don't really want to install something to replace TF3D. (Still a n00b ) Still, as I mentioned earlier the bug also happens while TF3D is disabled.
Any suggestions?
1. Why do i have two facebook apps ? facebook and facebook for htc sense, the latter does not show up in the market, so it never updates itself?
2. When the battery level reaches 15 % the capacitive keys stop vibrating and the internet shuts off, i know this is done to save batetry, but i find it really annoying that it doesnt turn everything back on when the battery is charged
3. Do widgets take that long to load? i dont get it , the twitter widget i get but what about the music player? it always displays a song/album i was listening 20 minutes ago, i have to waitlike 4 seconds for the widget to refresh, that's something my milestone did instantly

It updates with the ROM. It is an integrated part of Sense.

You can turn these features off in Settings. I've never used them, not even once so I can't tell you about turning the features back on.

I think that is actually a fault of the widget, it does that to me as well. If you leave the screen on the widget and the screen running, it does update however. I use it in my car when running a Sense ROM.

I just tried the new sense 3.0 rom and the widgets refreshing now take less time, cheers to that
Another thing i noticed is that i erased facebook for android, and facebook no longer appears on my app tray, im pretty sure there used to be 2 facebooks, facebook ( for htc sense) and facebook ( for android) :/ was i imagining things?

Yup, facebook for HTC is Friend stream. It also does twitter, and with a download, linked in.

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.

So strange issue - the Facebook widget has a real hard time updating if at all. It may update every 24 hours sometimes it takes longer and sometimes not at all. I finally decided to uninstall Facebook and reinstall it. The app itself works perfectly including for now push notifications BUT the widget just won't work.
Just reinstalling it, the widget is blank and just says "Refreshing statuses"
What's odd is the widget and my account work perfectly on my G2X side by side so wouldn't that rule out a Facebook issue? I think it has something to do with Sense interfering with this. Anybody having a similar issue?
Bump. So is it just me?

I tried the widget once & it took forever its first time to load up
Hi guys,
This problem has been driving me nuts for the last week:
I love the HTC Clock on the ChaCha with Facebook messages underneath. Much more useful than the weather (Jeez! look out the window!)
Anyhoo, for the last week or so it's been saying "no recent updates" my daughter suggested I just didn't have any decent friends but no, pressing the panel takes me to loads of updates in HTC's Facebook app.
I've tried clearing the cache on Sense, toggling WiFi on and off, rebooting the phone. Still nothing
I can't see how I can get to any settings for the clock, it must hang off of something else but what?
Both the Facebook's own homepage widget and HTC's Friendstream both seem to be working fine. Hope someone can help!
Thanks,
Andy
Aha. I had this exact problem last week and made me realise how much I missed the feature. No end of rebooting, removing the widget / adding it again seemed to fix it. Then had a go a looking for other widgets to use instead, but I couldn't find anything that fit.
Anyway - the solution is to go:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
Scoot down to 'Facebook for HTC Sense'
First go 'Clear Cache' if that options on.
Second go 'Clear Data'
You'll get a pop up telling all data will be deleted, click OK.
How go back to home click on the Clock widget, go back.....
And hopefully, you're back in business!!!
JD
Yay!
After reseting the data I had to re-authorise my "f" button and "**** about" a bit with the facebook app... then the little sync arrow appeared at the top and it all started working
Thanx!
Tried all of the above with Wifes phone and It didn't work, Then again she has like hundreds of facebook contacts through the stupid games she plays on there so maybe there is just too much info to sync with such a small amount of memory on the device, Anyway I don't care as its her phone lol
Hi,
I'm having the same problem.
I deleted the Facebook application. I installed again.
"Facebook" application, and the "Facebook for HTC Sense" I deleted the application data. But it was not the solution. Still does not update facebook widget.
How can I solve this problem?
