Hi guys,
I just received my Desire S today from Singapore and everything is working fine,except for a minor issue with the Dialer and I don't know what's causing it.
I use my SIM contacts instead of phone contacts and when I hit the default htc dialer(phone app) the screen opens up and it is supposed to show me my contacts but instead it shows me absolutely nothing, maybe after 20-30 seconds later it shows me my contacts. I tried to resolve the issue using the phone contacts instead of sim contacts but still the same problem.
Anyone else noticed something like this?
Edit: Another thing I just noticed is that, to the left of the home button, right where the screen meets the edge of the phone, it seems like there is a tiny gap where I can see a white light when the screen is turned on, it only happens when I hold the phone on a certain angle but I thought it was weird.It doesn't happen on the right side.
1st: maybe you would transfer your contact from you sim to your phone,then delete all the contact in your sim, that 's what i do now, in this way, you can synchronize your contace via google later.
2nd: this is the comon issue for desire s, and i think it's not a big one, because it don't hinder our daily use of our phone.
thanks man
On the lockscreen, on the second slide down thing there is an ! with unknown beside it. After you unlock the phone you can't find that notification any where!
Already checked the notification bar and went and cleared the ram. Still the same. Does anyone know what it is trying to tell me or how to clear it?
I have factory reset the phone one time and it went away, but then came back in a day.
That's where the date goes. I see "unknown" there occasionally. I assume that this is because the phone hasn't gotten the date from the cell network yet, but still has the time cached internally. For me, it generally goes away after a bit.
The one time it didn't go away fairly quickly was when I had Handcent SMS installed and had configured my phone to use it and it's notifications, generally disabling the stock Messaging app and it's notifications. It stayed "unknown" while I had Handcent installed. When I removed Handcent and turned the stock SMS app back on it went back to showing the date.
I didn't test this rigorously, and have no idea if it's causal or just a coincidence. Has anyone else observed behavior like this?
thanks
I'm sure that it's handcent then, I haven't uninstalled it yet. But I bet that's it.
Thanks for the reply. Contacted handcent support about the bug.
I don't think its a handcent issue. I've had the same problem. The only way I got it to go away was to open the stock messaging app and view my last conversation. Then its off the lock screen. Try that. If it works for you...its an issue with stock software. I've had a fewb problems with the stock app. Wish I could just remove it lol

Found it
It seems if you turn off notifications in the Stock messaging app it gets cranky.
I turned them back on and it shows the time on the bottom lock screen.
I then went back and turned them back off and the time stayed, we'll see how long.
This is beyond annoying.
Screenshot, please?
Happns 2 me too glad 2 know I am not alone...

i think that this is a common thing, whenever i dont check my text msg or randomly click the power button, i would see the "!" at the bottom screen..dont know why
I had this problem too on my Sidekick 4G. I am using Handcent but I don't know if that's the cause for me.
What I did to solve this problem: I went into the stock messaging app, into the menu, where I chose "Browser Message". (This menu option is not always present, but apparently shows up when you get a message from your cell carrier.) There was one message listed, and I deleted it. After that, my lock screen displayed the date again.
When you get mms messages, it goes to the stock messaging app as well, so just go in the stock messaging app and view it in there and it will go away. Or, before your SD card loads, messages will go straight to the stock messaging app. Just view all your threads in there, click each one, and the unknown will go away.

I keep trying new sms replacement apps and i really liked gosms and handcent but i have a glitch with them that i cant seem to fix
whenever i open the app i get a notification for a message that ive gotten months ago and already deleted long ago, when i swipe it away or click on it it goes away then comes back again as soon as i open up gosms or handcent but i never get this notification in my stock text app, and i can never get it to stop appearing in any other text app, ive tried as many different settings as i can in the new apps, and tried erasing all my messages, cleared my stock sms app and turned of stock notifications but still getting the notification returning, any ideas?
I have the same problem on my Nexus with ICS 4.0.4
Maybe its just a problem for nexus s w 4.0.4 cause ive tried them before when i had gingerbread and 4.0.3 and had no problems
I also had that problem.
Perhaps clear data on the stock messaging app? Maybe even delete the db associated with it? I would search up on that though as I'm just assuming it will automatically recreate it. I'm also not sure of the name of the file.

Hi All,
I just recently got a Samsung Focus Flash after my old Focus died. I unlocked it and everything, got it all setup and whatnot back to where my Focus was. The only issue I'm experiencing is that when I go to delete an email in the thread view, unread, it either lags (the email stays on the screen in the list of emails, highlighted as if unread) or it doesn't delete and I have to try deleting it at least once, maybe two more times before it finally disappears... Thoughts?
On my original Focus, when I deleted an email it would disappear from the list immediately. I want this back!
Thanks!
I've been blessed with a phone that has no clicking and no whine...but only one odd behavior. The "Favorites" tab in the stock dialer keeps clearing itself??
I've gone through and "starred" the contacts that I wish to be my favorites and they show in dialer favorites tab for a time, but eventually at some point I'll hit the dialer and it's cleared out again. Is there something I may be doing wrong? Forgetting to click somewhere to lock them in?? Anyone else similar behavior?
It's not a really big deal and hopefully it will fix itself when Oreo 8.1 drops..but I'm still curious.
