To all of those using the stock launcher, could you please try to reproduce this and confirm please. i have observed that touching the screen on 3 different points (space between the icons on the last row of the 3d drawer.Not exactly between the icons but a bit below it. just imagine where the imaginary cube line would be) on the launcher drawer just acts weird; as if you are touching the main application launcher. Also if you just try to scroll up or down from one of these points , nothing is being registered.
i have attatched a pic with the locations of those points. feedback appreciated. thanks.
I just tried it and it works fine on my phone

What u mean it works fine???? i am 100 % there is a problem. i reproduced the problem/bug with 2 htc desires running the gingerbread launcher and also i found out that even the stock froyo launcher had that issue too.
well i guess i just feel safe now that i know it's not something with this phone. thanks anyways
I have that exact same issue.
I just scroll from above the bottom of the lowest row of icons and it's fine...

Yes I have the same issues (could reproduce both phenomenons) and I had that already on my N1 I think.
it works fine for me.
not 100% that i'm getting my fingers in the right place. (fingers are a bit to wide)
Same here. Never noticed before.
Works fine for me as well.
I've noticed that there's a large buffer zone for the home icon.
Edit: Tried it again at those three points. Watch the home icon get highlighted/lit up as you hold that spot. Software issue? Or designed like that.
Yep. The icon being highlighted in the special zones is the exact problem I wanted to point out. Even if u try to scroll from these zones, nothing happens.
It is related to the launcher only. So nothing to worry about.

I think it is nothing we should worry about. The question is why they integrated the home button in the application launcher anyway; everybody has a home button on its android phone right. Without the home button in the launcher they would have had more space for another row of icons and they could have avoid this issue.
I was able to reproduce as well, although I never scroll from that low, so I hadn't noticed it.
Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.
I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.
I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.
Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday
It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...
The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.
I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.
Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.
1st - Web
2nd - Phone
3rd - Gmail
4th - Messages
With all these issues I'm seeing I think ima just stick to leedroid or stock rooted. I'm playing around on my myTouch before I sale it.

I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).
Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.
I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands
The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.
I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?
This morning I noticed something odd happening with multi-touch controls while playing a game (Cordy). Whenever I would jump, I would then stop moving as if the controls stopped responding. I tried basic troubleshooting, restarting the app, closing other apps, rebooting the phone etc, but the problem persisted.
So I then downloaded a multi-touch testing app from the Play store to see if this was an issue with the controls in the game or with the phone, and found that when I have two touch points on the screen and then release one - like for example pressing the jump button in a platformer - the screen loses both touch points.
So, after all that, I was curious if anybody else is having this issue with their phone. This is not the first time I've played a game on my phone, nor even the first time I've played Cordy...but I've never noticed this before. Can anybody confirm this is related to the implementation of multi-touch on the One X and not an defect with my particular unit?
Does the G-nex or other phones have a similar implementation of multi-touch?

I did kind of notice something that sounds like it's in the same ballpark. I bought NBA Jam for my One X and it plays well, but I noticed that sometimes it seems like if I am still moving (using left touch) I sometimes cannot hit the buttons. I thought it might have been a calibration issue, but it does sound very close to what you were mentioning. Anyone else seen this?
I used this app as well as this app to test, if anybody else would like to try it for themselves.

I just tried out the first app and I cannot replicate your problem. I can use all 10 of my fingers at the same time and remove any at will without losing any other touch points.
I've seen a thread on this before and the problem is probably worthy of invoking your warranty over.
Thanks for the links. I just tested and it looks like there are only 2 touch points and then becomes unresponsive to touch inputs. Does anyone know if this is a hardware limitation or software?

Edit: I turned off HTC Gestures in the Display and Gestures option in Settings and I am up to 10 points now.
Just an update, this appears to be an issue related to the use of WidgetLocker. Disabling WidgetLocker allows me to remove a contact point on the screen with out losing all of them, enabling WidgetLocker brings the issue back. I messed around with some settings in WidgetLocker but could not find a solution to this issue. I'll try contacting the developer and seeing if this is a bug with WidgetLocker that can be fixed, or perhaps an issue with Sense 4.0.

Do you have HTC gestures enabled on the phone? Once I turned them off I was able to multitouch with 10 points again.
I have widget locker installed as well. I have the amazon version 2.2.4 which isn't the current version. Widget locker on the amazon app store is version 2.2.4 and on the google play store is 2.2.7 so if you installed the amazon one it is out of date...like a lot of apps on the amazon store theses days it seems.
Aaron
Nope, I disabled HTC gestures on day one (just not a feature I'm interested in), however I did enable it after you brought it up and noticed the same thing you did.
With regards to Widget Locker, I'm using the latest version from the Play store - in fact, I just purchased Widget Locker last night, which would explain why this issue just cropped up! However, I'm glad to hear that Widget Locker does in fact work for you guys... I just have to figure out what is causing the multi-touch conflict on my phone.
I prefer to use Nova launcher however there is one big problem that I am experiencing while using it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon version. The dock divider disappears at random. It happens far too frequently to just ignore. It happens on the play store version and on the beta as well. I would like to buy Prime, however will not do so until this is fixed. It will only return after I enter and exit certain apps or if I restart Nova Launcher. I have switched to Apex until someone can find an answer to this.
Stupid question, but did you accidentally uncheck the option to show it?
Look in dock settings. There is an option for it to be off, in addition to an option to have it fade.

I do not have it set to off. It comes and goes without changing any settings. For example, I go into the play store to update an app and when I back out to get back to the home screen the divider disappears. it does not happen all of the time which makes it harder to pin point where the bug is coming from. If I enter messenger and back out of messenger then the divider comes back. What does the fade option do? I thought it might be the beta version, however it happens on the official version as well.
It just fades away after a few seconds. Uncheck that and test.

That was not checked. I do not see anyone else reporting this issue and I have done a good amount of searching. I am starting to wonder if it is a setting or app in my individual phone that is causing the bug. It is too bad because i believe Nova to be a smoother experience than Apex.

I switched from Apex which I have used for a long time on previous devices to Nova in my G3 (I have the paid version of both apps) & I tried everything I could think of & could not duplicate your problem.
I prefer the dock divider to be hidden, but when I set it to show it works perfectly for me.

What are your desktop height and width settings? Interesting, maybe I will pick up the paid version and see if that helps and return it if I can reproduce the bug quickly.

width is set on medium
height margin is set to none
Try going into facebook and looking at someone's photo that they had posted and then back out of facebook. That produces the bug for me.
I believe I found out what my issue was. I realized that this only occurred on one of my homescreens. This particular homescreen had many app shortcuts on it as it had two folders with 6 apps each on it along with the other apps taking up the rest of the space on the homscreen. I reduced the amount of items on the homescreen and upon the launcher reproducing the screen after entering an app, the divider no longer disappeared. I believe that there was just too much going on with this particular screen.
That's cool that you figured it out, I agree 100% that Nova is better than Apex for this phone.
I thought I had it, but it has returned. I know what the issue is as I can recreate it every time. I do not know of a fix yet. If infinite scroll is off and you scroll to the homescreen on the far left or right you get a blue animation basically telling you that you can scroll no more. I personally like this animation. If I do that, and then click on my messaging app in my dock and then exit the app, the divider disappears on my galaxy s3. It does not happen every time, but I would say that it happens more often than not. If you change the dock height to large, it does not happen. It only happens when the dock height is on it's default which is medium. Once again, this is using nova launcher prime and it occurs on the official and on the beta.
Is anyone else having this issue/know a fix? All the apps in the app switcher show up as blank boxes with just the name above it, even the app I'm in when I open the switcher shows an animation then goes blank.
G955U1 on AQE3 firmware, no package disablers
Could this be anything to do with Samsung's aggressive RAM management?
Is this an actual issue or is this how its supposed to be?

No, you are supposed to see app screen.
See screenshot.
Are you not using power saving?
Bottom line it's not supposed
to look like that.
It looks like a reboot fixed it for now.

Yes, i also found at times, that a device reboot
sometimes, can "solved" issues.!
Good luck
Thought it was just me. I also noticed sometime my home screen has a clear navigation bar, and sometimes it's black, or white. I think it's memory management.
Yeah, I've noticed that I only get this issue when I go into multi window. I don't know how I can fix this without just not using multi window.
