Hi,
I've been reading this forum for quite some time now (former Magic user), and I finaly registered (of course because of a problem )
I got the Desire a few days ago, it's a great phone, but I have an issue with it.
It's the second time it does that, the HTC widget information (meteo, favorites, contacts, etc.. but just htc widgets) won't load (or will do in 5 minutes).
If I delete a widget and try to put it back, I have some weird problem in the widget menu, I can't select anything using touchscreen, but with the optical mouse it gets selected (I can't put the widget back though).
It's probably not a RAM issue as one of the times (this morning) the phone just booted ...
Am I the only one with this problem or does someone else experienced this ?
(Sorry if there's some spelling errors, I'm not a native speaker :/ )

Hey all,
I got my desire this morning, and i don't know if its just me, but everything takes a long time to load up e.g. time, weather, calendar, text messages, email apps.
Is anyone else having this problem, or should i return the phone.
Thanks for your help
i had a problem with the market on the first day. the market was very slow. after 1 day it is working as normal. maybe the phone need some time before everything is working fine

I think it depends on your perception of lag. I feel my device slows down momentarily sometimes when navigating through long lists and opening some applications as you mention. I thought at first it might be a problem with my device but have since had it replaced (because of dust under the screen not this) but I still notice it the same. I think I just expect everything to be instantaneous given the 1Ghz processor inside but to be honest it doesn't bother me and I imagine most people don't notice any slow down at all.
As an example, just now selecting the option to add the HTC Clock widget to the home screen there is a noticeable pause before it comes up with the options to choose widget style.
I would be interested in how quickly the Photos application loads for people though, it takes a good few seconds for me (around 4 seconds sometimes) to load the summary view with 'camera shots', 'all photos' links etc. I've replaced the memory card to an 8gb Sandisk Ultra as I thought the read speed of the original could be the cause, but it still takes the same time.
None of these things effect the usability of the device in practical terms though.
Market / Weather are possibly lagging due to Network speed rather than phone speed. They have to DL data to the phone.
Others like Email may be refreshing when opened causing lag.
My messages app (Handcent currently) only lags when I have many hundreds of messages saved. But it is noticably better than chomp at handling the same volume of messages.
I find the phone lags when it is installing stuff. And by lag I mean delayed responses to my input.
I also find that certain apps can load up and then cause the phone to stutter. I haven't found out exactly which apps but it's always solved with a soft reset - just turning the phone off and on. Either that or it's forcing the phone to store too much on the SD card.
Maybe I'll find the offending app when I have more time.
Hello all,
My phone is not working properly. I've had some bugs most people seem to be having, but now I have something which is quite annoying. I can't find it on these forums or anywhere on the internet.
I have seen a 1 line reference to my problem here:
/showthread.php?t=666332&highlight=standby
Flaws & annoyances with the HTC Desire (with workarounds!) [updated Apr 23, 2010
Hardware defects. Eg. Dust under screen, device not going into standby properly. Most of us don't experience these. Contact your retailer to exchange the unit or HTC to claim warranty.
So, I seem to have this problem. The phone wakes up with whatever button I press, and I don't have to unlock the phone. I have a unlock pattern set. It also doesn't ask me for this.
I couldn't find a proper topic about this problem, but I assume I'm not the only one. Is there a fix, or is it a hardware problem?
It wouldn't make sense to me if it's a hardware problem since the screen does turn off when I press the 'power' button.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bart.
Which Lock?
are you using the built in lock or a third party lock app? I had the same problem when I used LockBot. If it's the standard lock, have you tried Powering the phone off then back on?
I am just using the built in application. I haven't used any other lock app.
I have tried turning the phone off twice, and both times it came back (might have been after charging it, but I don't know at all if that's the reason).
edit: I'm gonna try to recreate the problem with restarting and trying to find out when it stops working properly.
edit2: I restarted now... and it hadn't saved the new background I set... strange... :/
edit3: Ok, it still locks itself... I guess I'll just need to wait and see when it doesn't work anymore... maybe it's just a matter of time for it to stop working...
The problem that you quote in your opening post is probably the problem concerning the Desire (or rather an application running on the Desire) not properly releasing a wake lock which causes severe battery drain, e.g. the calendar app about which another thread exists.
Your problem seems to be quite strange. You do not happen to have an application called 'No lock' installed, right?
No, I don't have 'No lock' installed.
I use 2 calander widgets though... (the little one on my home screen, and an more advanced one on another screen.)
I've got quite some applications installed though... I'll just type them here, maybe someone can see something wrong...

I'm just trying some of the stuff of course... It's quite a long list...
Maybe Kaloer Clock brakes something?
I'll use it tonight again, going to sleep soon... Maybe it'll be broken again tomorow.
Lets hope it wont brake again... but that's probably too optimistic.
First off: sorry for the double post, but I have some new information which will also mean the end of this topic.
This morning it didn't work anymore, and the only application that did it's thing this night was the kaloer clock (night clock).
I looked at the settings, and there are some settings about screen lock.
It's not clear at all, but I changed some settings, and it locks again.
So, I guess it was just me using an app which I didn't fully understand. I'm glad you guys helped me though. And I'm definitely glad that my problem is solved!
I don't know if anybody else is experiencing the same issue but my desire has this problem now and then. Sometimes when i move around htc sense and i will go to the helicopter view I don't see 7 home screens, just first one that is located in the top left hand corner.
When this occurs and will leave helicopter view mode my contacts widget is being funny and I can't select any contacts on it. Just Luke I said it doesn't happen very often, but still it occurs and its very frustrating. Is that ROM problem? After hard reset problem still exists.
After few minutes phone is working fine.

Had that happen once. A reset fixed it and I didn't get it again. I think it may have been one of the widgets I don't use anymore, maybe friend feed?
I've had this a few times. If I just put the phone on stand-by it seems to sort it.
I have a feeling it's the calendar widget that acts a bit funny on mine.
Widgets that I use:
1. Full screen calendar
2. Full screen mail
3. Full screen messages
4. Clock with weather + one line calendar widget + some program icons
5. Full screen contacts
6. 2 lines music player + one line power management + few programs
7. Full screen news

it is the calendar, there is somewhere another post here ...
just kill it with a taskmanager and it should work again.
btw: because the calendar is so sucky, i use now "Calendar Pad" ... actually i dropped all HTC widgets
I had this exact same problem, but did not know how to describe it.
When it happened, sometime, going into "all programs" it seems the phone tried to be in landscape mode.
I tried disabling some widget. After disabling the HTC Contact Widget, the problem never occured again.
Sometimes I get it. I just press standby then again and it fixes it.
I used to have this problem often but i havent seen it for a while now so i had forgotten about it. It may be the calendar widget like someone said, and come think of it, i havent had the problem since i moved my calendar widget to the homescreen on the far left. (used to have it just to the right of the main)
Something funny, don't know if anybody has seen this....
On my main screen I have the WiFi & Mobile widgets from HTC.
on the third screen (swipe to the right) i have those widgets in exaactly the same location.
But no wthe funny thing..... I was having trouble with my mobile data connection so i wiped the phone. Then i put the widgest on the same place and everything is working fine. I try to repair my mobile data connection in various ways so plenty of reboots.
Then i decided to see hwat's going on inside and i installed logcat. After doing this, the widgets didn't respond anymore. I could tick them but they would not change. However i could see wifi coming on in the status bar so every thing seemed to work execpt for the widget itself beeing updated.
Getting bored with the widget I decided to remove the widget. But after removal, another one (on the same position) was still visible. I removed that one too. Exactly the ssame happened with mij mobile widgget.
I have seen this "stacking of widgets on top of each other" so far with the contacts widget, agenda widget, wifi widget, and mail widgets......
Has anybody seen this.
So my phone was in working order again couple of reboots later i decided to install bugreport to again see what was going on insid ethe log...
Same behaviour.....
I Deinstalled them and have not seen this behaviour again..... but i wonder what's causing this behaviour
some times when I close services / apps etc.. system ones.. I get wigits on top of each other on one page , I thing scroll to the next page .. lock my phone ,,, and unlock it.. everything is back to normal ...
Hi guys.
So I was on Jellykat ROM for few months and everything was working fine. Thanks to the developer for this awesome ROM.
Few weeks ago, my Note 2 got sudden lag after 7-8 hours of uptime.
1-When I'm on Whatsapp, I cant bring the keyboard up.
2-When I pressed the home key, its seem like the Touchwiz was reboot, take time to load the widget, shortcuts and folders. (2-3 seconds)
3-I cant go to dialer screen, when I pressed phone icon, its goes back to the home screen.
All of this problems can be solved by rebooting the phone but I want to know what causing them? Before this it was OK. Anything I need to clear/wipe?
Additional problem (non-lag issue)
1-When I'm on mobile data, the messsages I received from whatsapp are always delayed. Data roaming is enabled.
2-When apps asking for reboot and I pressed Yes, nothing happen, I need to reboot manually. (SuperSU update asking for reboot)
Thanks. Sorry for my English.
Bring up my post.
Still looking for solution.
Also I cant get my Walkman apps work anymore..
BUMP.
