How to get Phone back to lockscreen shortcut - HTC Sensation

I have no idea how my Phone app disappeared from my lockscreen because I didn't remove it, but suddenly when I went to Personalize/Lockscreen it just wasn't there anymore. Anyway, now I can't put it back it seems, because it isn't in the app list.. Anyone had this issue before?
Thanks!

Same Problem
Same thing happened to my phone today. Haven't been able to find a way to get it back.
Sensation 4g stock.

Sensation 4G here also. And I talked to HTC customer support and guess what, they said we can't put the Phone shortcut back. Hopefully this will get fixed with the ICS update that's supposed to come out the day after tomorrow

It happy to me too. This will solve that

Not getting some new text notifications

Anyone else notice that they're not getting notifications for some received texts on the Inspire? It seems to be random, and I don't notice the new text until I open up the messaging app and see it there, I don't get sound/vibrate or anything in the notification bar. I'm using the Inspired ROM and rooted but I don't think that's the cause of the problem.
I noticed the same thing this morning. I'm completely stock for the moment.

Well, I guess I'm glad it's not just me. I hope somebody has a fix for it.
I only sent a test message last night after I got the Inspire and it was received and I was notified without issue. Then I installed Handcent and turned off stock messaging app Notifications and Handcent has been working fine.
Rooted with a dhd rom here. I didn't think I was having this problem but checked my messages and sure enough I had one from a hour ago I never got a notification about..... the gf soooo isn't going to believe me its my phone again.

I had a similar issue where my 2 Gmail accounts weren't giving notifications when I received new email. Also my Sense clock/weather wasn't always updating the weather when I unlocked the phone.
I ended up doing a factory reset and reinstalled all my apps manually and everything appears to be fine at the moment.
Yep, same problem. Seems to only happen later in the day?
ditto

Anything guys?? This is really frustrating
Really need help with this. Bump.

I've had the same thing happen. I was in the middle of a conversation and it seemed like the other person just disappeared. Was going to send them another text when I noticed they had actually responded.
The issue clearly hasn't been resolved... It's happening to me as well. No notification. Or I get it, hear it and feel it, and then unlock my phone and no notification in the top bar or on the msg icon on my homescreen. But its def there when I open msgs....this is very frustrating as I've been patiently waiting by my phone for an answer about a new job. Has anyone had a fix for this? I'm completely stock no root. I'm about to go on to ATT and have words with them if it can't be resolved I'm geting a new phone...this is stupid we can't get basic functionality to work....out of the box.
You could try using a different SMS app like Handscent that does notifications itself. I think Go SMS does notifications too.
Or they could admit there is an issue and fix it. I shouldn't have to get a third party app to do basic phone functions like sms and phone. Wtf!
Or you could root your phone instead of expecting AT&T to fix something when it takes them months just to release updates for things that should have been included in the first place.
Well its not really on ATT its on HTC. And besides rooting would void my warranty. And if I get this job ill be leaving the country, in which case id like to return the phone as I doubt it will do me much good in the Netherlands. Either way. Shoulda worked correctly out of the box. It's an HTC sense/Rom issue not an ATT service issue.

Interesting. I just got a brand new one and it has this same problem!!!!
I'll have to get it swapped then, shame as apart from this, there are no problems
I saw this case yesterday on a demo unit, both cameras had the problem. Had some pictures on the phone - older ones were OK, newer ones were with lines.
I had this issue happen to me this weekend. Weird green and red lines. You could even tell in the 2 pictures I took with the camera. Not as prominent as when I took the picture, but I can still see some areas of discoloration
Currently the lines are gone. I haven't installed or uninstalled any apps so I don't think it was anything to do with something that's incompatible.
Not sure if I should get it replaced or not.
I had the problem too...i took pics though and they weren't on the pics after viewing in the gallery. I did a reboot with a battery pull and it went away. Only happened to me once.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127658
I did a thread about this issue, but got no feedback on it. Any thoughts?
Here is a thread of mine with embedded videos: http://androidforums.com/2830694-post1.html
Same here. At first green lines did not show on picture, then they did. I was able to reboot the phone by Long pressing the power button and the problem went away. Not only that, but the camera looked so much better. (seemed much clearer.) I also noticed some videos streaming from the web also had green lines. Can't say its related yet.

I just noticed I had this issue today and found this thread. I tried just a shut down and then started the phone again, that did not help. I shut down, pulled the battery, put it back and started up again, problem solved.
Someone else has also made a video:
Since the issue has gone away and seems to be fine now, I'm not going through getting a replacement. If it occurs again, I'll just do a battery pull to fix it again. It seems the fix holds for some time, although I don't know how long.
I called HTC to get a ticket on file. The guy I spoke with said even an HTC employee in his work area had the same issue once. A battery pull fixed it and they have not had the issue since.
They might get back to me for more information, but today I had to give them phone number, e-mail and IMEI.
They said they're investigating.
I had the same issue with mine the day after I got it. I turned off the phone pulled battery held down volume - and power and selected factory reset. Have had no problems since then. Sorry if someone already mentioned this solution but I'm at work and didn't get to read everything every one posted just trying to help

Your "solution" goes a bit too far. There's no need to do a factory reset and lose all data/settings. Just shut down, pull the battery, put the battery back in, turn it on. Problem solved.
Just pulling the battery didn't work for me so I did the reset. Just trying to help

I just purchase mine on Sunday from Telstra store $792 outright, working fine Sunday night, then Monday morning started getting corrupted lines on Telstra News and Sports. On Monday afternoon went to use camera out on site, and camera had all green lines on screen, took 3 pics and they have the lines as well.
Tues morning take phone and whole kit back to Telstra store where I purchase less than 48hrs ago. Asking for a replacement, they advised they cannot without sending it to repair to check on water ingress !! WTF ! My new phone has not been anywhere near water. All I asked for is a replacement after parting with almost $800, now Im left to wait for Telstra to send away for 7 business days to then decide if I'm entitled to a replacement ??
It appears from all over the net the current fix is to only remove the battery and re fit . After me removing my sim card and memory card, my green lines had disappeared however the shop employee did get to see the fault.
Dam why should I have to wait ! They have $800 of my money and I don't have what I paid for !
Come on Telstra.
GASM
This happened to me. Its just software. Mine did it for a day when I first got it but then disappeared and I haven't seen it happen since.
My friend has the same problem, Except when he restarts the lines go away but they come back after 2 days or so. It's really bothering him. The other thing is he doesn't want to send it to HTC as it will take forever to get back.

Text messages

I started having problems today with my text messages. I would get a text msg from friends an I would end up getting them over and over again. I did a battery plug and even asked them to do it also and still nothing. I still kept getting them over and over again. Any where from a minute apart to 5-10 minutes. This has been going on all day since around 10:30. I even did a master reset on the phone during the day and it is still doing it. I called tmobile and they actually disconnected me from the network to see if that would work and it didn't. They ended up having to send it to the engineers and said this would go on for the next couple of days until the engineers got back with them.
My question is has anyone had this problem before?
One other question I have also is. My phone is rooted but I haven't deleted any thing I just have them frozen. When this happened I wasn't doing anything out of the normal with it. Now if I have to get a new phone I know I will have to un-root it. Should I do a master reset on the phone once I get my new phone so that away any of the apps I have on this one will go to my new phone an when I send this phone back so they won't know that this phone was rooted.
Any help would be great.
Thank you in advance.
By any chance were thet txting you fron a iphone?
Suprah..."no cyanogen, rom manager still fake flashes the roms thats y for nvidia phones we have to use nvflash"
no not iphone
Could it be that your friends are bomb spamming you?
There are some apps that lets you spam people with text messages

I really don't think so because it even happened when tmobile was sending there test text msges and when I even sent me a test text msg
Me too. Sat on phone with T-Mobile. No fix yet. Not rooted. Texts repopulate from all incoming carriers. Now I am SMS disabled. Opened a tt and asked for fee anytime upgrade.
ok now I have a bigger issue.....today on my way home from work I restarted my phone and after I did that it was starting to load up it will get to the screen where it says LG with the blue like task bar under it and then it reboots itself. what would cause that. I'm lost and worried now and have no clue what to do. I search the phone rebooting issue and some of the things I'm see to do is this
"help: try formating the phone/wipe data .... hold volume DOWN button and power button at the same time"
but if it wipes everything what would have to be done after that.
This happened to my wife's MyTouch slide a while back. A SIM pull fixed it. Just pull your battery and SIM card out for about 30 seconds and put them back in. See if that fixes your texting issue.

Speakerphone now automatically on?

I've had this phone since the end of Feb and it has never done this. This past weekend, my wife and I, were over at a friends house and we kept getting pestered on my phone by an idiot who wanted to start stuff with us. Point is, during that time my phone was passed to 3 ppl besides my wife and I. One of them, not my wife, pushed something and now all calls are through the speaker. Do any of you know how to keep the speaker from coming on everytime I make or receive a call or where the setting is to keep it from doing that? My phone is bone stock and non rooted. I have searched, read the manual cover to cover, and looked through all the settings with no answer. It is extremely annoying to have to shut the speaker off everytime I go to make or receive a phone call. Prior to this weekend it was never like that. Any help to resolve this will be much appreciated.

You could try emailing the HTC support site. They resolved a similar issue with me in a day, in that case it was volume always at max during a call when I had a head set on with no volume control, along with a strange status icon. I had inadvertently selected a buried setting that is for the hearing impaired. No one on this forum helped after two days so gave HTC a shot at it, and they came through.
Ok, Kool. I'll try that, thanx.

Called HTC and they wanted me to factory reset my phone. I told them I couldn't do it right then and would do it later in the evening. They said before I got off the phone with them, if a reset didn't work to call warranty and get it exchanged. Well, before I could perform the reset, my phone surprisingly stopped doing it. Dunno what corrected it but was glad it was gone. A couple days later, it returned for only 3 phone calls. What I figured out was that it is connected with the car panel app. You need to use an app like Watchdog, which I got the free paid version when it was the daily freebie from Amazon, find the Car Panel process and "kill" it and it will stop. When you close it out it just goes to the backround. You need to close the process to get it to stop. I am gonna call HTC back and let them know how I corrected it, so people who dont come to forums like this one and calls HTC they have a solution other than a factory reset.

Does rooting get rid of the touch screen issue?

Quick question.. I know most of us are being plagued by the annoying touch screen issues.. so my question is:
Users that are using root/custom firmware.. are you still experiencing these issues? This will be the deciding factor in whether or not I root this phone seeing as there's not any release dates for any software updates.
I bought the S4G on July 9th. For the first week or so, I had a problem with the touchscreen where dragging the unlock ring up would rather bring an icon up. It would take 3-4 tries before the phone would really pull up the unlock ring.
After the first week, the problem went away for me. I have been S-OFF since the first of August with perm root and the problem still hasn't come back. Not sure if this is the same issue as you, but the problem seemed to fix itself.
What exactly is S-OFF? And what does it do for you?

My phone used to that at one point and it drove me crazy! Since then I did the whole rooting thing, flashed Civic's back2basic rom and I've haven't had any problems since. It's running super smooth. Did two other sensations with no problems, lag or reboots yet

Not sure if my problem is the same. On my Sensation, when my screen is turned on, it's not responsive in all places for the first 6 to 7 seconds. After 10 secs or so, it's working flawlessly. It's especially annoying when answerring or cancelling a phone call.
Do you think rooting and S-off would help this issue? I'm now on OTA 2.3.4
S-OFF, ROOT, custom rom etc. does NOT fix touch screen issue. That's what you were asking about, right?
OK, thanks for clearing that out.
The thing is, that I only have this issue after getting the phone back from repair (shattered glass). The repair guy couldn't find anything that could cause this issue. But due to the repair this touch screen vulnerability was triggered. Can't go back to HTC now, due to the repair. So I'm stuck for now.

If you haven't come across it yet, give this thread a read.
It does not. I used the Touchscreen Booster from the market. Works fine.
Rooting helps you to control your phone. You can try different roms and see if the problem goes.
Rooting doesn't but flashing a 2.3.4 ROM will solve ur issues more than likely. I'm using LeeDroid and its great no lag no dead spots.
