So strange issue - the Facebook widget has a real hard time updating if at all. It may update every 24 hours sometimes it takes longer and sometimes not at all. I finally decided to uninstall Facebook and reinstall it. The app itself works perfectly including for now push notifications BUT the widget just won't work.
Just reinstalling it, the widget is blank and just says "Refreshing statuses"
What's odd is the widget and my account work perfectly on my G2X side by side so wouldn't that rule out a Facebook issue? I think it has something to do with Sense interfering with this. Anybody having a similar issue?
Bump. So is it just me?

I tried the widget once & it took forever its first time to load up
Has anyone had issues with native android widgets on the sensation? My Youtube Widget, News and Extended Control Widgets have a line running across it and sometimes they look distorted. Once i remove the widget from the screen the line disappears. This issue doesnt occur if i have the HTC Widgets on the screen.
Yeah I have this issue ... I think its the resolution of the screen is to high for native widgets I don't use them much anyway

Me too....sigh!!!!!
I just tried it on mine and I don't have any of those problems
I just tried YouTube and News widgets on my Sensation, no lines on it. Maybe 1.35 fixed it?
I noticed the same problem on my sensation, as well as my brothers. Although, it is not limited to Youtube. Today I learned that it affects the facebook widget, pulse widget, wikitube widget, and even brightness app launcher. Fortunately, the lines/digital noise go away when you remove the widget and put it back. Or, you restart your phone.

I also noticed when you remove the widget and put it back or restart your phone it goes away as well.
whew, thanks for the info. I've just got the phone less than a week ago and noticed the problem and was worried whether it's just a software issue or a hardware memory fault or something.
Hello,
Same here with many widgets including calendar and battery widgets.
Using carrier modified ROM.
Hope HTC fixes this soon and carrier also releases the update...
Here is the response from HTC
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.
Note: - In the restore factory settings all your data will be lost . So before performing the hard reset please take the backup of your device.
trying right now, hope it will work from now one
I get the same "noise" on widgets from Pandora and ESPN. Possible Driver issue? Rebooting, changing the Skin, and removal - replacement of the widget clears the noise.
GOt em here too on Pandora, Google search and +. Reboot takes it away for a while but it creeps back. Damn really htc? the resolution is "too good" gotta get this stuff ironed out before releasing a device. Good thing there's root and backup capability!
Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
Hi guys!
I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.
I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.
The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.
Does it happen to anyone here?
Happens to me as well.

Same here... needs re-boot to recover...
I only had that if the option to kill tasks as u exit them was checked on. Its under developer options towards the bottom.
Edit: actually that's only the case on my phone. I have the option checked on my tablet and it works just fine.

Ok thanks for all I´ll re-boot it, but will I lose all my apps? I´ve never done a hard reset.
Everything that wasn't stock on the tablet will have to be reinstalled.

same here but may be able to narrow it down.
I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.
weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.
At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
Same...
I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.
Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.
Guys I think this is the same issue, it happens on my tf.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519943
yep
Happens to me too,
I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.
also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.
same ...
same problem on my tf101
I fixed this by clearing the data for the Launcher in settings. Hasn't happened since but annoying as it meant rebuilding my homescreens :-(

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.
Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.
Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.
My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.
I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Could be. Mine's more stable (touch wood) since I got rid of both Beautiful Widgets widgets off my home screen.
Guys I´ve finally done a hard reset on my tf and all goes fine.
Thanks for all
Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.
Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...
I rooted my phone today for the sole perpose of getting rid of ads. After rooting I installed/ran AdFree and then disabled the following apps, which are all on the list of apps that are ok to disable:
Amazon Kindle
Clock (modern)
Google bookmarks Sync
Kies air
Weather daemon
Weather main
Yahoo Finance
Yahoo news
After doing this touchwiz randomly stops working, I can't get the screen to do anything but flash the menu and back buttons at the bottom. So I press the power button to just turn the screen off. It makes me wait 5-10 seconds but the screen comes back on and I swype to unlock it and get the error "unfortunately touchwiz home has stopped" I click OK and everything works until it locks up again.
I've tried clearing touchwiz data and restarting the phone. I've had this phone for about 3 weeks now and have never had this error until today after rooting.
Thoughts?

Sounds like you may have disabled a needed touchwiz process. You have a few options.. You can either re flash your touchwiz rom, Install a different launcher (nova is awesome), or install rom toolbox pro and install ad block through the option in the program which will patch your host file.

I may have jumped the gun because so far it's back to normal. After clearing data and restarting it acted up once more, which prompted this thread, but I've been on the phone nonstop and it hasn't happened again. I assume clearing touchwiz's data fixed it.
Thanks anyway!
