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)

So i have the htc news widget set to the bbc news feed and the auto refresh set to every 30 minutes (also tried manual-only as well but more on that later)
anyway, if left alone and set to every 30 minutes, it doesn't actually ever update. you have to go into the actual program, into the feed, then menu -> refresh, and all of a sudden bam, updated.
if you press the bottom border of the widget (which FYI, refreshes for you. applies to twitter and friendstream too). it does nothing at all either.
if i set it to manual, it also doesn't actually refresh from pressing the bottom (it says refreshing, but nothing new comes up). you still have to go into the actual feed and refresh in there.
anybody elses doing this?
its a bit annoying. the news app is so sexy looking, but if its not going to update automatically, or with a single button, its not worth it
Can just press the bar at the bottom of the widget to manually update. But true it doesnt seem to do it automatically.
like i said, pressing the bar doesn't actually do anything.
it will say "updating", then the time will change to whatever the current time is, as if its updated
but it wont actually get any new stories...even if they are definitely there to get

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exact same issue here.
oh wow
the problem is that they dont seem to be arranged in order of newest to oldest
they seem like, totally arbitrarily arranged, comparing it to the actual rss feed.
the latest 50 (or whatever) items are on there, they're just in any old order
useful ¬_¬
Yeah i noticed that.. keep getting old articles pop up!
okay actually
looks like they're in reverse order and jumbled a bit
newer ones generally go to the bottom (wtf?) and older ones generally go to the top
how useful
Having a lot of problems with the widgets not updating on mine : news, weather and even mail (hotmail account not the gmail one). WiFi may have been behind the mail problem which I had this morning - need to check more
I ended up getting rid of the standard htc news one and using a BBC widget (it was the only stream I used on it anyway). You only get one story as its not a full page one but at a touch you get the full set of headlines and then at another touch an instant link to the web page. Thinks its just called BBC News
I know these posts are old but i'm bored!
If you have a 'task manager' installed make sure it's not stopping these updating functions by default.
The only way to get the News widget to sync (2.2) is to do a factory reset. It's true, I've done it.
what is good news widget choice for us with LAUNCHER PRO launcher/home?
Anyone found a way to fix it yet?
Mine (on a Desire z, granted) does no updating at all, if i try to manualy update, it shows updating.. for a few seconds, then nothing, just show the old date that I managed to get updates on.
Same with the Weather widget
Since a week, I can't get any weather updates anymore (neither automatic nor manual), I just get 'Weather Data unavailable' after a few seconds.
Had the same problem ... shutting down and taking out the battery helps.
Maybe try setting it to 30mins auto-update in case manual update shouldn't work.
These tiny fellows behave like notebooks, somehow
I think you must use rom office
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 :/ )
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!
Has anyone else run into a situation where all the widgets on the screen get doubled up on top of each other? For example, the friend stream widget, when scrolling i can sometimes see ghost text/pictures that is stationary under the widget. If i hold down the widget i can drag it to the trash only to find there is another copy under the original. I rebooted and the same thing happened. I ended up rebuilding my scene from scratch and so far so good, but I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this bug.
thanks,
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 ...
