Another lockscreen unlocking problem

I have problem with Sense 3.0 lockscreen. When I try to pull the ring to the center of the screen, the phone behaves as I would stop touching the screen for a quarter of second - in another words - I am moving my finger from the bottom of the screen to the center (dragging the ring), but the ring randomly goes back to the bottom and suddenly I am dragging the shortcut icon...
Anyone had this?

Same here, but it really is for 1/4 second so its not really that annoying.

For me it is annoying. I have to try to unlock the phone for several times because I can't manage to drag this ring to the center of the screen. I "lose" it earlier.

Have you been able to fix this problem? When I go to the lockscreen, it takes me several seconds before I can move one of the quick shortcuts into the ring. If I try to move it right when the screen pops up, I can't drag any of them.

Mine does this sometimes, although annoying, I found the only way around trying multiple times is to hold your finger on the ring for a second before pulling it to the center.

I don't have this issue. Ring works perfect

I have this same issue. Glad I'm not the only one. My touchscreen as a whole has started crapping out on me the last couple days. No longer registering fast swipes on the home screens... Can't get the carousel to come up at all anymore. I'm annoyed. It has to be Sense causing the problem. The EVO 3D must have a better optimized Sense version cuz that phone flies.

I have also noticed this, but only when my phone is lying down. If I tip it up, or pick it up it works great.
Regards.

Nothing is helping to relieve the issue for me. It's getting really bad..

This happened to my first Sensation so I returned it. My second one is fine and I have had it for 2 weeks so I think I'm in the clear since the first one started at 1 week.

I'm on my second Sensation from T-Mobile and both have the same issue. After about a week the touch screen loses sensitivity in random spots while swiping. This is first noticeable on the lock screen, when dragging the ring up it will "jump" back down to the bottom of the screen and not unlock. After a while I begin to notice that it gets worse and worse. While using the keyboard, swype will finish words while I am still in the middle of them. The first phone got so bad that I could no longer drag the answer icon into the ring when a call came in. I factory reset the first phone to no avail and have just factory reset the second phone and it is still having the same problem.
I will be returning this phone to HTC and hopefully they can get me a working model. I love the phone but this and it's locked status really suck.

[Q] Icons for apps not showing up

My icons for apps on my home screens will not load. All it is showing is a generic android icon. Any other known issues or fixes?

I've found that changing the scene helps. You will have to do this twice to get it back to your original set-up.
Still hoping that this will be fixed with an update. Although no sign of that coming any time soon from HTC.

I've noticed this on any apps moved to the sd card. Any ideas?

When you move your apps to the SD card, this is what happens in Android as a whole. This is not generalized to the Sensation as my last 5 phones have done this. Until Google fixes this, you just going to have to learn to live with it.

It doesn't do it on all phones. It depends on factors that I don't know but I can tell you it did it on my most recent phones like my G2X and Nexus S.
It only does it when the app is on your SD card. The icon should remain until you restart your phone.

I've been having the same issue on the Sensation, but never had this problem on any other Android phone... could the issue be from not formatting the SD card after moving it from my old phone to this one?

Quick fix to get app icon picture back:
-Long press the "generic android icon" on home screen and drag to trash/remove on bottom right
-Go to your apps list and long press that same app and replace it to where u had it or wherever else u like

i heard it might have something to do with the speed of the sd card. Only a window of time allowed during boot to let the images to load, after that generic only. maybe moving from the stock class 4 to a 6 or 10 would help? Anyone see this issue with a faster card?

I was having the same problem and this worked.

Move the Apps from sd to phone.
The phone loads internal memory first which has all your Apps on your home screens than it loads external. So if they are stored on sd they show up as generic. Download app2sd transfer to phone and your good to go.

[Q] Can I remove the 'ring unlock' procedure?

Is there any way I can bypass the 'rung unlock' procedure on my Sensation? Once I've unlocked by pulling up the ring, I then use the pattern unlock (to safeguard my phone) - so I almost feel as though I'm unlocking twice!
Also, after the phone goes to sleep after timing out, is there an alternative to pressing the power button at the top to awaken it? My power button is stiff under my gel phone case, so it's sometimes difficult to wake the phone up again. Something on the screen would be ideal.
Thanks in advance guys.

All this features are available on CM rom, hopefully it won't take long before we see functional build, it's impossible on sense rom to use this advanced things...

As a new Sensation user, I would also like to see the ring removed. It'd be better if I didn't have a PIN security screen, but I do, which means it takes longer to get into the phone.

You can install an application named Battery Indicator which has an option named disable lock screen.
Very basic, but it works.

Am I right in thinking it's only the paid version that allows you to do it?

Thanks for the help - I haven't (and would rather not) try a pirated version.
I tried a few free apps yesterday that said they'd do the same thing, however they removed not only the ring screen but also my PIN lock screen. Does the app you suggest only remove the ring screen? If so, I'll buy it.

I'm not sure if I get your point, but you may try the pirated edition, and if you like it, uninstall it and buy it
You won't loose anything doing so
But I think it removes the PIN screen too :/

Declining Calls

Whenever I am trying to decline a call my One S accepts the call. I then have to press the end button.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

How do you try to decline it? It might be that you're doing it wrongly?

Are you dragging the red icon into the circle? I have not had an issue doing it this way. I will say that I tried to silence a call by pressing down on the volume, and it answered the call instead. That may be a setting somewhere though.

Hmm let me guess..are you dragging the ring up over the red call icon instead of dragging the red call icon DOWN into the ring?
It's ok..when I flashed a sense Rom on my HD2 a while back I kept pulling the ring up to launch shortcutsand couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work !
Ring up for regular unlock, icon down for action.

Only thanked because I find it funny that someone who would buy a One S, and be a member of XDA wouldn't know how to decline a call, even though the phone has tutorials lol
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium HD app

Alright I feel so dumb right now lol.
I had the Sensation before this and it seemed like pulling up the ring towards the red icon always declined it. So i got accustomed of declining calls that way.
Anyways yea pulling down the red icon works fine.
Sorry for the dumb mistake >_<

we wont tell if you wont

Always ran AOSP or CyanogenMod on my HD2, only had a short stint with a Sense rom (not a fan of pre-4.0 sense, too heavy!) and never go through tutorials, I like to figure things out for myself.

Mate, my suggestion, if you are experiencing hardware problems (Buttons etc) would be to talk to HTC about it.

Yes it's harder to gain S-OFF and Root with 1.2x, but it's not impossible. I wouldn't let that bother you.
I'm sorry, it's been that long since I've been on Sense, that I can't remember what's supposed to be displayed there in the battery status. I don't think mine displayed apps like your questioning. But like I said, I simply can't remember sorry.
Hopefully someone using Sense will post to help you with that.
Do you have button problems when using the stock browser?
Do you have another SD card to test for awhile? The unmount/mount issue could be the card itself. If not, maybe back it up to a PC and format the card (in the phone) and see if that helps?
