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 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.

Accidently Answering Phone Calls

All,
I find myself accidently clicking the answer button when my phone rings while in my pants. The button which is pushed for answer call seems to be in the direct aera of touch when grabing the phone. Does anybody have any suggestions how I can make the answer call button less likely to accidently be pushed?
Thanks,
Lance

Accidents happen. Keep it in your pants.

Lol, bt seriously tho, its in his pants so I'm assuming the phone is locked, @ OP, so u wanna tell me that the answer thing moves itself to the circle to answer tha calls? Well if that's the case maybe we can trade, I might b able to train it how to do some stuff like cook or sum

YOU set the button to answer calls, change it back or use a different button

I know what he is talking about. I do it all the time too. When grabbing the phone from his pocket he touches the front of the screen which in turn will move the answer button into the ring and answer the phone. A good solution would be to have the ring and the call/hang up buttons farther from the ring but I am not sure how that could be done.

It's not that hard to grab the phone by the sides while in my pocket. Maybe you guys are wearing skinny jeans? No problem here in slacks, regular or slim cut jeans.

Should I return it?

So I have something funky going on. When someone calls me my phone rings. Do you think its defective? Should I return it? Also my power button is crooked and slants over to one side. Its a moving part and moving parts shouldn't do this right? I mean buttons shouldn't have any play right?? :-D Sorry I couldn't help myself. Hahahahha

My phone has done this once or twice before but my solution to this was draggin the green "answer" button to the circle. It stops the ringing and whoever is calling ends up on the phone and you can hear them.
Not too difficult. I mean HTC should have fixed this issue before they even released the phone

Lmao. My phone is also defective. When I press the button with a house on it, it closes the app. Soooooooo annoying.

I just found a new problem......when your phone is on, try pushing that button at the top. Mine locks my freakin screen and I can't do anything until I hit it again....WTF HTC.....get it together

thread would be funny if the sensation didnt have any problems.

Lighten up.. In a perfect world everything would be perfect, but we dont live in a perfect world. If you look at EVERY single device there will always be issues with some units. I happen to not have any major issues with my sensation. My wifi drops a little when I hold it landscape but it's not horrible and oesnt drop the connection. any other issue I have are all software related glitches. If you look at every forum people complain about issues on every device. I was just making light of it because people seem to have major OCD. If you didnt think the thread was funny you shouldnt have even bothered reading it or replying. NOTHING is perfect in this world yet we expect everything to be perfect. Come back when you remove the stick out of your ass..

Apparently, HOME button is supposed to teleport you back home, but gets confused because it doesn't know where you live and take you to HOMESCREEN instead (dumb thing, with all the gps and location services it should know where i charge it and sleep). Rumours are that this is going to be fixed with update in August. If it's not, there is always a DEV for that.
EDIT. I think we should start a petition for that, HTC seems to do anything we want if we put enough pressure on them, so they might push this bugfix sooner.

I returned mine and went back to my rooted and ROM'd vibrant and I don't regret it....BUT I'm considering waiting maybe another month or until we get full root and S-OFF to maybe give the sensation another chance. I wanted to like the phone, I really did, but didn't feel that the sensation in it's current stock state was really what I wanted. Either way...it's a GREAT multimedia phone and web surfer, kinda crappy at being an actual phone tho in my opinion...

Please explain, I've had zero issues as far as the device functioning as a phone.
On a side not, it's really driving me nuts that when press the "loose" button at the top my stupid phone keeps showing me the current weather with all these highly functional shortcut options on how to unlock. Anyone know how to change that? I want it to be stupid and work like an iphone!

Same here. I'll get notifications fine all day, then I'll get three texts from one person without a single notification. It doesn't matter if the Messaging app is loaded or not or has focus or not.

It is on, its just with a few messages here and there

I have this same issue.

Its an issue that hopefully will get fixed with an update. It has happened to me a bunch of times.

ditto that, hopefully with the next software update will fix it. But, at the same time some people having issue with the update (1.85) that should rolling out today by ATT experience dropping calls and less reception. Personally i prefer late notification than drop calls. Dont you think?

Agreed

Help me find a rom

I have searched and tried several different roms, and like sense, but not the lock screen. Is there any newer roms that use the old pull screen down locks? I am currently back on stock rom, because I like the original look, but I know its really out of date.

Froyo is the only one with the lock screen bar on sense. All version of sense 3.0 and higher are going to have the ring. Aosp has the option of picking the bar. So I guess the answer is no if you still want sense (and who doesn't with an HTC phone)

You can keep what ever rom you want. There is an app on play store called magiclocker that comes with different lock screen skins. I like the Samsung puzzle lock screen but there are many more. Some are free and some are pay for if you want to change the locking feature.

If i would get that app, would i still have to pull the ring to answer calls? I really wouldn't mind pulling the ring to unlock, as long as I didn't have to pull the ring to answer calls. Sorry if i'm confusing anyone.

Just a heads up because I didn't figure out the first time, but you pull the icon into the ring to answer a call.

If my memory serves me correct Android Rev HD allows you to removed the HTC sense lock screen back to stock
