[BUG] Windmill Weather (galaxy) has horizontal line at night - HTC Sensation

Hi Guys,
I've been using the windmil wallpaper from the galaxy SII for some time now on my Sensation.
But since yesterday I noticed a bug, one that wasn't there before.
As you can see in the image below (edited image)
When my wallpaper shifts to night, it gets a horizontal line just above the grass of about 1px thick.
The horizontal line is only in the wallpaper at night, i've tried other wallpapers and they all work fine.
I have tried reinstalling it and used other websites to download the windmill.apk from different sources, but no luck.
Any thoughts?

Just reinstal it? I used the wallpaper to and i had the same problem. I just removed it and installed it again. Problem solved

I did reinstall it, as I said in my original post.
From which source did you get the wallpaper?

Anyone else?

Gonna bump once more.

Might be the same problem as for specific widgets. It's happening for some widgets for some reason and only for some people. Did you try changing to another WP and than back?

Hi, thanks for the reply!
I have tried changing it and back again.
Without luck. The strange thing is, it only happens when it's in night mode.
I noticed it happening to the google widget, it's a similar line.
But i can force this one, when i put it to night mode.
I tried a whole lot, but I wondered if it was a specific bug and anyone else encountered it.

News and Weather widget ... not working?

Let me give you the lowdown:
Today i went to use the News and Weather widget (GenieWidget.apk) on my droid X running rubix, it worked fine, till i went to the graph view/Histogram and clicked on a future point in time, expecting the displayed temperature and humidity to change. they did not, stayed the same consistant start values.
So i tried a different Genie apk, I tried a google built one, a cyanogen one, and the default rubix one... same effect.
So i assumed it was rubix.
Tried it on a stock droid my friend had, exact same effect.
Any ideas? i rememeber from my droid 1 that those values used to change. Is it non-functional on the droid X?
Also experiencing this on my nexus one. It started acting weird after the daylight savings time change. I remember this happening last year. It magically fixed itself then; hopefully it does again this time around...

That's strange. The way android handles time internally shouldn't be effected by that. Must be the way weather.com is supplying the info

Can anyone else report the same problem. Or report there's is working

The Genie widget is full of suckage and has been since the last update.
Are there any similar alternatives , specifically the news portion ?
Have the same problem on my Nexus and Vibrant. Tried different apks all are broken.....
also looking for a fix or widget replacement app. i am using for both news and weather....
Same problem on my N1, started a thread in the N1 forum for some extra help. Nothing yet.
Cleared Data, reboot, nothing changes.
It suddenly started to work again on my phone. Looks like it magically fixed itself.

Home button goes to dock?!?!

My sensation home button just recently started taking me to this dock!!! I never told it too!!! Is anyone else's doing that and is there a fix!! It drives me crazy!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
What dock???? Assuming it is some app you should try clearing defaults in the application.
mine went mad yesterday and started taking screen shots everytime i pressed the homekey. related to the touchscreen issue perhaps?

My brothers did the same **** right after he updated, I had him disable the quick reboot in settings and pull the battery. Worked fine since.

Dock Home is an app that is included with the Sensation. I think it is an HTC app that comes on automatically when you dock your phone with the HTC Desk dock. You can also find it in your list of apps. All it appears to do is produce a single page homescreen with only a few bits of information on it and with few ways you can change it.
So pretty useless I guess, unless somebody knows any more about it.

Just before the update I got that too whenever I go to friend stream but after the update to 2.3.4 everything started working fine again. maybe a reset to factory setting will fix it?
I've done a factory reset for this, and it doesn't help. I'm guessing that sense shuts down to conserve battery life when you are using other apps.
I've had this issue from day one. It happens (from what I've read) because some other apps are using up the available memory and when it runs out sense kills itself to free up some. It really is quite annoying. What helped me a bit was getting rid of Widgets I never use especially the sense embedded ones.
Yeah, when you're running low on memory Sense just stops and reloads when you're done with the app you are using. Quite annoying indeed.
I've had 2 Sensations so far and both of them have done this from Day 1, the 2.3.4 update didn't cause the issue. There isn't much I've found that will help it except for running a 3rd party launcher.
I have this annoying problem too and I can see an error in logcat which says something like "timeline error". I think this is the cause of the problem.
This is definately a software problem. I didn't have any crash on GoLauncher Ex so far but the Sense launcher crashes several times a day!
Get this fixed HTC, it is very annoying!

WidgetLocker and One X

Hey there xda people, just wanting to let you people know that the WidgetLocker (app) for me at least causes some multi touch problems with the one x.
The problem that it causes is whenever your holding one finger down on the screen to like say control a virtual analog for a game so you can move around and then tap anywhere on the screen to shoot or something. The first finger hold gets wiped out and causes movement to stop. All in all its causes a horrible experience while playing games.
I was having this issue forever until today when I wiped my phone clean and everything works fine with games and stuff until I installed WidgetLocker and I get the issue again. So this issue was fixed when I stopped using the app.
Not sure if a lot of people uses this app but I've been using it since I bought my first Android (sgs ii) and it's a great way to customize your lock screen with widgets and stuff. I'm definitely going to let the developer know about this bug when I have time, my guess as to why this happen is the way that it unlocks your phone that messes up the multitouch.

I just tried uninstalling Widget Locker on Nocturnal 111 and I am still getting this bug. I will try to reboot and see if that fixes it for me

I didn't have to restart, just had to lock the phone then unlock it again with the stock lockscreen.

You are right. When I woke up this morning, it was fixed.
MiLocker causes the same issue... How sad.

Glad to see your issue was fixed. The good thing though is that I'm in love with my phone again lol.
Although I was trying out cm9 alpha 3 earlier this week and I'm pretty sure I was getting the same issue without WidgetLocker. Maybe the locker with cm9 causes this issue as well?
I could be wrong with cm9 though as I may have downloaded the app but didn't use it so that could've cause the problem as well.

I ran into this issue a while ago... here is a thread I started about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665603
I never did resolve the issue (aside from disabling Widget Locker), nor did I get around to contacting the developer...
However, it appears this does not affect all One Xs using WL as several other people tested and were able to use Widget Locker with out breaking multitouch on the One X.
I checked out this and mesaone's thread as I was having this issue too. Turns out I was able to fix it by disabling HTC gestures in the Display & Gestures settings menu. DoomGLES now runs without a hitch and I'm able to both move and fire/open doors at the same time. I haven't tested much beyond the DoomGLES test but if anything changes I'll report back.
EDIT: It appears the solution was short-lived; quitting fully out of the applications, turning off the screen, turning it back on and unlocking and then relaunching the app caused the issue to return. On the other hand, simply disabling widget locker for the duration of the game works fine (and unless you're turning your phone off and on a lot while playing games, probably not a big deal). No need to uninstall.
ONe X and Widgetlocker
I have had Widgetlocker for 2 years on my HTC desire. Now upgraded to One X and I have a problem with answering calls.
If the phone is locked and I get a call, I get the call answer option but then have to put in my unlock number. By this time the caller has hung up. Previously on my HTC desire I could answer by pulling the screen slider down even if the phone was locked.
Have I missed a setting??
Help would be good
Thanks
TA
The only option would be to not use widgetlocker if you don't want to have problems (that is if you do have problems). I want to confirm that this issue occurs in CM9 even without the widgetlocker app, not sure if others are getting this issue but I suppose I'll be CM9less till it is addressed and fixed.

CM9 and AOKP in general currently have a multitouch bug, whether its with WidgetLocker or not.

Stuck on landscape

My phone stays in landscape since yesterday... I've searched the web but no solutions :-\ some say hardware, some say software.
Opening a vertical app rotates the screen, but when I leave it I go back to landscape..
Any idea? Don't want to to reset to fast or bring him to service.
Stock rom
There was a thread similar to yours a few days or weeks back. You may want to take a look at it, if you haven't already.
i've read soms topics on One S and One X... No solution found.
I had contact with HTC Holland and they told me to put the phone in Safe Mode (didnt even know this excisted - Reboot phone and press Vol down when the screen lights up not earlier or you go in fastboot) to see if its a HTC problem or third party app (because you cant use third party apps). In safe mode I didnt have the problem but when I returned to normal mode I have portrait view too. Strange thing
1 thing is still changed: even lockscreen goes landscape.. This is not normal I think? Can anyone confirm?
I wiped android secure in twrp and it fixed the landscape problem for me
