xda orbit- short cuts

Hi
It seems that there is a bug with creating short cuts for applications to appear on the today screen! In theory you can create up to 5 shortcuts. This feature is very unstable and currently I cannot create even one short cut. In the short cut selection screen it keep saying 5 short cuts although I have selected non, then I can’t exit the screen unless I do a soft reset.
Any one has the same problem?

Its easier to use clauncher or WiseBar2 with the desk top plug in to get desktop shortcuts installed (have a look at the iPhone threads in the General section for some ideas) - Mike

If this is the bt shortcuts today plugin, on my device it has two sets of options,one is directly accessed from the o2 icon bottom right of today screen and the other, where you select it to actually display the 5 shortcuts, is in settings/personal/today/items/shortcuts. Apologies for stating the obvious. I know nothing.

Yes there is a bug as I have it as well. Ignore the second comment on this thread....its not about how to display the shortcuts but how to get rid of them! I set up 4, but the Orbit said I had 5...and on my Today screen there are now 4 shortcuts plus one strange greyb box the same size. Tried soft reset etc etc...definitely a bug!

I have exactly the same problem. But I stopped using it after I had installed another application provides better service.

SMS Text Box Bug

I've searched, but couldn't find anything about this.
When I open the keyboard when replying to a text message sometimes the text reply box partially disappears off the bottom of the screen and you can only see the top line. Annoyingly it stays like this until I soft reset.
Does anyone have any solution for this?

I've had this same error since WM 5, through 6.1, and still on 6.5. I was very disappointing to see this bug was not fixed, its such a stupid problem.
It's not a fix but instead of soft reseting just push the keyboard icon on the screen to bring up the keyboard, then push it again and the size will adjust

I don't know if this is the same issue i get from time to time but what happens on mine is that i am able to see at lease part of the field when i input my text but when it goes past that one line it doesn't automatically scroll down so i don't know what i am typing anymore. what i do when that happens is that i go to my task manager and I stop the text messaging; when i bring it back up it is back to normal.

I get all kinds of weird things that happen in the landscape txt screen. YOur problems, and sometimes the right half of the screen will go spastic and show an inverted, backwards, distorted, partial view of the contact photo. Or the right half of the screen will look, well, scrambled, for lack of better description...
Sometimes just tapping in the entry box will fix it.
Other times I will switch to landscape, start to type on the HW keyboard only to find that it only registered the first few characters of what I wrote. I then have to tap the entry area before starting to type again

for the last problem about you having to tap int he entry area before you start typing you can try this fix. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479717 i haven't installed the latest version but it work perfectly for me.

Is there a way to disable the on-screen keyboard from auto-opening?..Seems like that would resolve the issue.

I've had the exact same issue since getting my Tytn II when it very first came out, on the official software Orange and on my new TP2 with NRG's Photon Rom running 6.5. I can confirm that flicking the on screen keyboard on and then off rectifies the problem everytime. I don't know what causes the issue and it doesn't happen with every message a slight annoyance but opening and closing the on screen keyboard is better then soft resetting

Misinterpreted touchscreen-input and partially non-reacting touchscreen

Hey guys, I've got two problems with my unrooted stock HOX , which both are touchscreen related
1. When I push a little harder on the upper right corner of the touchscreen while in lockscreen, the diplay recognizes 3 other inputs on the left side of the screen (all of them about 2cm apart from one another, sometimes there are even more inputs randomly placed) which are slightly shaking but always appear in the same places. When this occurs, the display doesn't recognize any other inputs for about 4-5 seconds, then the 3 faulty inputs disappear and touchscreen works again. Okay, this could be of the harder pressure but the thing is, that when I'm doing the same in my homescreen or somewhere else, it doesn't happen. The problem with this occurrence is, that I often can't unlock my phone immediately and it also appears when I get an incoming call, so I am unable to answer it the green circle won't react on my input. But the fact, that it only occurs in lockscreen makes me wonder if it could be a simple software error and not hardware.
2. Sometimes (usually in combination with problem number 1) a part of the diplay doesn't react to any input whatsoever, but the rest of the screen does. I usually recognized that while typing messages and the area affected is an about 1cm high horizontal strip which is located in the height of the letter A in the portrait keyboard and goes all over to the letter L (I hope you understand what I mean ). I made it visible via a painting programm and it's a perfectly straight area. But when I now turn the display off and on, everything is fine again, so this makes me think (and hope) that this is a software error too.
I tried factory resetting but this wouldn't work out, at least the first problem still occurs (did the reset yesterday, so I can't rule out, that the second one still exists). I don't want to send my HOX in again, because this one is apart from that very nice and has no other faults.
So the main question is: soft or hardware and what could I do against this?
Hope you guys can help!

Notification pulldown don't work

So i just got my phone back from service. I had a white spot on the screen. They fixed it by replacing the motherboard. It'll all fine and dandy right there. But i noticed i could not pull down the notification bar in potrait mode. While switching to landscape it works. This sounds like a hardware issue but im not sure. Is there a way to test the screen?... if a move a widget to the top of the screen from my homescreen. The screen detects it's up there.. so i guess the touch is ok?
The service took about 4 weeks so i hope i don't have to send it in again
I've tried resetting the phone (clean install)
UPDATE: Sent it back for another 4 weeks of service..

Hello
To make a touch screen test follow these steps:
1- open the phone dialer and dial this number *#*#3421#*#*
2- Choose accept, that will take you to a hardware test page
3- Choose touch screen line draw test.
Thank you

i have the same issues its software and gets fixed automatically
but there should be a solution

I just received my brand new HTC 10 today and I have the exact same problem as you.
I am unable to pull the notifications bar after I unlocked the phone in portrait mode. However I can pull the notifications bar while the phone is still locked AND when the phone is unlocked and rotated to landscape mode.
I have tried factory resetting my phone and upgrading to the latest software but the problem still persists.
What should I do?

Anyone solved this problem?

It's a screen issue. Do a line sensor test from the help app

I had this same issue. I ended up with a warranty replacement because it is a hardware issue. The first replacement I got actually had the same issue, but it was even worse. It was the entire top inch and a half of the screen. The second replacement I got was good to go.

I think about that, but i've a little crack screen in the corner on top so im thinking they told me that is my fold, or im wrong and they change my screen ? I can see that not only my problem

Same issue, my previous phone was overheating in the top part of the phone which killed the digitizer at the end. You need a replacement phone
