I have an att tilt that came stock with wm6.1 pro and i updated it to the new 3.7. something or other ROM from the HTC website and when that was done also bought spb pocket plus. I am having a couple of not so bad but annoying problems
After much trouble, I put the 6 tab version of htc home plugin on the home tab of pocket plus and when the phone is closed and I lock the phone form the htc home programs tab the clock doesn't appear, but it appears like normal when i lock it while the phone is slid open, like i said, nothing big just little bothersom things
And also when the screen is off and black, it will randomly turn on and just have a solid gray screen for usually a few seconds and will shut off again. Is that a sign of something else going wrong?
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated
thanks
Hello,
I have WM6.5 on a Touch Pro 2
I recently noticed a rather annoying feature of WM. I am not sure if it's new or original, as I've only had the phone for a few weeks.
I am on a messaging program (SMS/MMS or one of my email accts). I close/end the program (I also go to the Task Manager making sure there are no running programs). I go to the Home Screen. I switch the screen off.
A few minutes later, I turn the screen on. Instead of the Home Screen, the last messaging account is open, staring at me!
It's not that important,as I would simply X on top right and go to the Home Screen. But rather annoying. Interesting, it doesn't happen all the time either. Sometimes I turn the screen on and the Home Screen is right there.
Thoughts appreciated
I have tried lots of different screen lock apps, but none of them does what I want to. Just today I was out checking my lobster pots, and I got a business call on my bluetooth headset. The damned idiotic thing is that when that happens, the screen will actually turn on and show the caller info stuff. And of course in my rain gear pocket it manages to press the buttons, so the call is suddenly on speaker phone instead of BT. Almost lost a contract on that one... Put it back into my pocket, and another call without incident. But when the call is finished, the screen is unlocked, so it starts pressing lots of buttons. I almost sent an SMS to a contractor with "umumumumumumumumum" for four lines! So I need a screen lock that actually locks the screen. Preferably so I have to press for instance power and then a combination of buttons to unlock it. All the apps I have tried have some idiotic slide menu that wants to show me my music player, change theme or something like that. And the built-in screen lock has had me call the Norwegian version of 911 from my pocket several times before I gave that one up. SO can anybody please tell me about a screen lock app that ACTUALLY LOCKS THE BLOODY SCREEN? (Sorry for shouting, I'm quite annoyed...)
Hey guys had my note 10 plus for about 36 hours and most everything seems to work, although the menus have moved all the buttons around, coming from a note 8.
one thing thats been annoying me is that i use lift to wake and an animated lock screen, but the animation wont play after i pick up the phone. it works fine if i use the 'power button'...
any ideas would be appreciated
thanks
Couldn't find any similar topic except in forums for s10+, OnePlus and other phones. Sorry if I missed anything.
As in the subject, after unlocking, approximately half of the screen flickers black and goes to the home screen. It takes less than a second. Always top half, bottom half shows home screen right after unlock. This does not happen on each unlock, but also, there is no pattern - it can be after 5 or 30 unlocks, it can be after 5 minutes or 10 hours of not using the phone. It started mid-July and not only annoys but is starting to worry me. Solutions from other threads didn't help. For example:
Fingerprint sensor problem - I don't use it, I have pin lock.
Samsung Pay issue - I don't even have it available, so, don't use it either .
Animations - setting them off did not help.
I cannot guess anymore what would be the cause, if it's some app which wakes up after unlock or what else. The only thing I've changed (except updating apps) was adding another sim card, but my tiny little brain cannot find connection. I didn't test removing it as I need this sim active and don't have backup phone right now. Also, I would really like to avoid resetting the phone...
Did you experienced anything similar?
Thanks a lot for any help or suggestion.
are using Samsung or some third party launcher. Did you wipe cache? Latest firmware updates?
Yes, I did both, firmware update and cache wiping, no change. I'm using stock launcher.
did you try in safe mode to exclude some app causing it
Yes, I tried safe mode without success.
i would take it to Samsung repair centre if pos
Thanks for trying and all the steps. There's nothing like that where I live, neither any advisory place except for hotline. I can drop it at their service but will need to wipe it down before, which I keep as the last resort. I'll keep waiting for another firmware update and if nothing changes then I'm willing to do the hard reset. I just hope it's not a symptom of some virus - I'm trying to be most careful, scanning device periodically, didn't root, so I naively count on being safe...
i don't think it's virus. fingers crossed it's just software issue
hi again, just to let you know, I think I know what was causing this flickering and now I feel silly . Home screen rotation. I had this option turned on, and it's possible that sometimes, when I put my phone on the table, home screen rotates to horizontal position. Of course it locks after few seconds. I've noticed it completely accidentally, because one time, when screen flickered black there was slow-motion rotation animation in the background (which I've never seen before). That's why flickering was completely random to me, not connected to any type of notification whatsoever. Well, it's not, it has a pattern . I've checked it plenty of times and each time I lock my phone with home screen in horizontal view, but unlock in vertical, half of the screen is flickering black. That's it, at least I believe it must be this, because it happens each time and never when I lock my screen in vertical position.
Once again thanks for all the help!
