[Q] HTC Sensation Issues : Lock Screen

My lock screen has stopped working.
I had the Weather lock screen setup with the icons and now when I unlock I gtet a black lock screen, no weather, no icons, just the time and date at the top.
I can still drag the circle to unlock.
If I try setting any of the lock screens such as the clock I get the same. Just a blank lock screen.
Also, the Dock Mode app doesn't work.
Each time I start it it just quits immediately.

Did you try to reboot the phone (press and hold power button, tap restart)?

Yes. Many times.

Hmm, a factory reset?

Hmmm, I'd really rather not. It's not much of a fix. What's to say it won't just break again ?

What about
How about changing the lockscreen type from weather to stocks or standard and then back?

Yes. I've been through all that. None of the lock screens work and switching between them doesn't help.

i would still try doing a factory reset since everything else you try seems to not work..so you cant know its not much of a fix without trying it now can you?

No one else seems to be complaining about this, so probably not a common bug. It sounds like some type of corruption. If so, a factory reset would likely fix it. Understand not wanting to redo all your app installs and setup. Still, there may not be another fix other than swapping the phone. Just my 2 cents.

Yes I can. If you remove the symptoms of a problem without ever understanding or addressing the cause then it's not much of a fix. If the problem recurs you are back to square one. At best you can say you've given yourself a break from the problem, but you haven't fixed it.

I Used the kingdom sense pack on my desire hd. This did happen to me once. But I just reflashed it in clockwork to get it back
Factory reset could work for you

...I'm complaining... In this thread...
Same thing... And also I don't want to do hard reset/restor factory settings... Any ideas?
Htc Sensation isn't rooted yet, so custom ROM is not a solution...
Thanx in advance

Check the settings/applications and if there's anything like lockscreen for example, try clearing cache and data. If that doesnt work or was not found, maybe clearing stuff for Home can help.

Thanx for Your answer.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me.
I did:
HTC Sense process - no cache, no app data avaliable - only "kill" button...
Weather widget - all data wiped, no changes
Default lockscreen - all data wiped, no changes
Sync services provider - all data wiped, no changes
HTC Lock Screen - all data wiped, no changes
HTC Sense - all data wiped, no changes
Three another weather processes - all data wiped, no changes
HTC weather wallpaper - all data wiped, no changes
Weather agent service - all data wiped, no changes
Weather Provider - all data wiped, no changes
After all, did Soft Reset (battery out, wait 2-3 minutes, battery in, Power On), and still... no changes

I'm afraid I resorted to a factory reset in the end. Not because of this issue but because of another problem. I rebooted my phone and it lost all my email account info. The mail app told me there were no accounts. Accounts and Sync said they were still there but if I tried to open the settings nothing would happen. Also, it would not let me remove the faulty accounts.
Anyway, the reset fixed the problems with the lock screen and with the dock mode app.
Such is life

I had a problem with my lock screen where the icons dissapered. It seemed to happen after I was changing the skins etc. Nothing I tried would make the icons re-appear. I had to hard reset in the end. Have been using it for a couple of weeks since without any problem.

I think You're right... In the end, I had to hard reset my device also. Right now everything is back to normal, but I thing HTC should fix this problem, beacouse what's the point of downloading more skins, when after apply them, lockscreen seem to not work properly?
So, right now, the only way I know to get the 4 buttons back on lockscreen is to hard reset device, and not apply any other than stock skins....

Cant say ive come across this one before.. so you may just have a duff one. send it back and hope for the best my friend.

[Q] Disable stock browser full screen?

So I've noticed that with one of the most recent updates for the phone the stock browser is now set to full screen so that the notification bar disappears right after a page loads. Is there any way to go back to what it was before? I'd rather have the notification bar there at all times.
What's even weirder is that my buddy is running stock 1.50.531.1 as well & his browser doesn't do this.

Does anyone have any insight for this issue?

Almost 600 views & no one has any idea how to change this? :-(

Do you have an ICS rom than it is the option labs in settings, there you can uncheck fullscreen

Nope, running the stock 2.3.4 TmoUS ROM 1.50.531.1
I don't even know what triggered the change, but I hate it.

Don't believe you can but pressing the menu key should bring it up temporarily... sorry I can't be more helpful :-(

Did you go into the browser settings and try to reset to default at the bottom?

yes, tried resetting to default & that didn't help. one of these days I'm gonna try a hard reset & see if that works. I find it most odd that it does this on my phone but my friend has everything exactly the same & his notification bar is always present. I hate having to press the menu key anytime I want to do anything outside of the browser.

Had to hard reset due to UID inconsistant error, hard reset also fixed this issue

Can't change wallpaper. Google search force close error pop up.

I can't change or even enter the wallpaper gallery due to a Google Search force close error.
If I press down on the homescreen and touch the wallpaper icon to change the wallpaper an error pop up immediately shows "Unfortunately Google search has stopped" with Report and OK buttons. (I have sent a report already).
Once you click either of the buttons it takes you back to the homescreen. If you try again the same thing happens.
Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else have this problem?

Just to clarify, the OP has a Nexus 5? Or are you running the 4.4 launcher on a different phone?

I'm on a brand new Nexus 5- non rooted, straight out of the box. I'm using the native, unmodified 4.4 launcher on a Nexus 5.
I did a factory reset in the end.
I think the problem lies with the automatic backup and restore of apps by google play.
After a factory reset I let google restore the apps to my phone automatically all in one go. This caused the same problem again. I couldn't change the wallpaper or even enter the wallpaper gallery again > pop up error message "Google search has stopped working."
I then did another factory reset and DIDN't allow google to restore all my apps automatically. I painstakingly restored each app one by one checking each time if a certain app caused the problem. (Yes this took hours) I didn't get the problem again.
So I think it was caused by google play restoring all the apps in quick succession. It seems to be too much at once. It must have corrupted something.
Now the phone works ok and I can change the wallpapers and have access to the wallpaper gallery.

Hmm, I wonder if it was trying to restore Google Search from the Play store and that caused an issue somehow. Did you try clearing it's app data before doing the factory reset? I've heard that has been a fix for people running the 4.4 launcher on other phones who have been getting FC's.

Thanks for the replies Yadao.
No, I cleared the Play store data and cache before the final factory reset. I think it did "restore" Google Voice search from my Galaxy Nexus. Perhaps it was that, that was causing a conflict.

hey guys how to fix it i have this trouble too ：好：

Apps and data disappear frequently

Hey Guys...I have an Xperia E1 and have started getting problems with it.
I had installed a few apps but they frequently disappear at random intervals!
I have no idea what's going on! Sometimes, the icons on home screen,widgets,etc also disappear!
BTW, by apps disappearing, I mean they get deleted completely! I have to re install them again and they disappear again after a while!
The phone has 4.3
So, Do i hard reset it and hope for a change or are these a part of the issues in this phone? I've been waiting for the kitkat update but it doesn't seem to release any soon though a leaked pic suggests its sometime this month.

make a factory reset and see what happens.Its a strange bug.

Just updated to kitkat a couple of days before and then did a repair consequently in lieu of a factory reset.
So far so good will wait for a a day or two to confirm that the bug is gone.
Thanks for the quick reply :good:

Can confirm that there are no issues now hat I've done a repair. Kitkat is smooth as butter except for one bug.
The hangout app never seems to permanently stay as my default SMS app. It keeps switching to the default android message app...
Stranger still is that twhen the switch happens, the notifications tone doesn't play. I have to open the message app to realize that i have a message.
Is it just in my case or is anyone else facing the issue?

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.

Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.

It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.

Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.

Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.

turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?

Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?
