Apps added to home screen at times disappear on update - HTC One X

I have noticed at times that when an update occurs to some of the apps, this app if on my home screen disappears and I have to recollect and drag it back from the menu list.
This strangely doesn't happen to all apps but a selected few and that too not always to them.
Eg. It happened to xe currency app today and it has had so many updates till date but never before this have I seen this behaviour.
Also I have owned a htc desire in the past but never experienced anything like this.
Has anyone else seen anything similar. Is it a bug or a feature of the phone.
Thanks to everyone in advance who can help.

Happend to me with XE Currency, and I had it in a folder on my home screen, i can only assume that sometimes the app must be totally removed first before install of newer version, hence the icon dissapears!

Happened today with XE. Never noticed it with any other app, it seems its specific to this latest XE update.

[Q] Weird Microphone Problem?!

whats up guys! I bought a used HTC Rhodium/ Touch Pro 2 on eBay and it arrived today. I'd appreciate it if you guys could help me out with two problems I'm having.
I'm having a weird issue where the microphone icon toggles on and off (i also hear some sort of enabled/disabled sound going on/off every 10 sec or so) and i sometimes hear a "please repeat" command. Also, whenever this happens any text box I select automatically spams "gggggggggggggggg" indefinitely
Seems like a rather strange issue to me. If I reboot the phone, or have it off for a good 5+ mins, the phone is problem free for 1-2 minutes. Then the above problems occur again
Anyone have any insight? I enjoy this phone so far and it'd be a shame if i need to return it. I upgraded the ROM to the most recent WM 6.5 and it did not doing anything
Check voice command button settings.

Desire keeps locking up

I've been using Cyanongen 7.0.3 for a couple of months now. Recently the phone is acting quite strange. It's constantly lockig up(I need to remove the battery to restart it). Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Can this be caused by an app that's installed?

I have noticed the same problem with every non-sense roms i have tried (oxygen, CM, Redux and MIUI). In my case it specially occurs when I used Spotify, It stops paying music and then force-close after that the rom gets very slow, cant restart the normal way either, have to pull out the battery...
I think I've found the problem. After uninstalling JuiceDefender the problem stopped(at least for now)

My Desire phone has been doing that since it was new - last January. When I make or receive a phone call, the screen locks so that I cannot use the keyboard for an automated answering system. Finally, I can never hang up. Pressing the power button sometimes shows the hang up button for about half a second.
I sent it to the HTC agent for repair and was told nothing was wrong with it!
I have rooted the phone, to see if I could change the settings controlling the phone, but so far have had no luck. I can't use the phone as a phone!!!!!
PS. At first, I uninstalled all the apps I had collected, but the problem continued. I have also reset the phone to factory settings, but still no improvement. I wonder how many users have this sort of problem.

[Q] Screen sometimes not responding

Hi,
am I the only one who's screen sometimes doesn't respond when waking the phone up? When I push the power button another two times it works as it should. I'm on the latest LeeDroid (but it also happened with JDroid).
Anyone else with the same problem?
Thanks!
Just happened to me 10min ago. I tried to wake it and nothing, thought it died. Pressed power a few times and it woke
Hope this can be fixed.
This happened to me also I'm on stock though. Happened a few times tbh

Hm, this is really annoying and I'm not sure whether it's a hardware or software problem since it's always disappearing by switching the screen off and on again...
download a drawing software from the market and make sure every part of your screen takes user touch event.

It's definitely software-related. Since I'm on CM9 (TripNRaVeR) this problem never happened again.
Hey Guys,
Try this for partially non responding htc one x touch screen:
--> Apps
Disable:HTC Weather Provider / HTC weather sync provider / maps / Weather / Weather Widget
Reason: my case: device working ok before upgrades. malfunction was logically software related. Few trial-errors. Solution as indicated.
cheers
This happens if charging through an extension lead. Any other time could just be caused incidental on a software stutter.

i'm having same problem, htc one x in vietnam. So what is the solution? I tried shipped rom, 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 stock rom; and now android revolution 7.0.0, leedroid 6.4.0, insert coin 6.4.5 rom having the problem too
Same problem here (still).. Let's hope the Jellybean update will fix it
There are threads like this already.
It does happen to many users. I had this problem too, but it is gone with 2.17 . This is charger related stuff

Unlock opening dialer

Getting quite annoyed with this now. About half the time when I unlock my HOX by pulling the ring up, it launches into the dialer instead of the launcher. I thought I might have been accidentally dragging the quick launch icon, but just tested it about 20 times to make sure, and I can drag the ring anywhere on screen, after the quick launch bar has faded and it still happens.
This happening for anyone else?

Unlocking the phone brings you to the last open activity. If you lock your phone after using the dialer, you'll unlock it on the dialer. (Un)locking is not like pressing Home.

I know that. It does this no matter my last open app
this thing happen to me when i charging my phone.. my guess its has something to do with HOX screen sensitivity when on charging status..
yeah it seems related to the touch sensitivity issue when charging, mine does this occasionally.
Happens to me too. I think it has to do with bad coding and unfinished software. My previous phone was Dedire and never had any problems with it. But I'm very dissapointed with the hox. It seems as if it was built with only one thing in mind, get it oit before samsung. Bad move in terms of quality

just a follow up, not near a mains charger at the moment, and can't seem to reproduce when charging from PC.
Is everyone having it launch the dialer, and if so, do you all have the dialer as your first quicklaunch app?
Will be fiddling with this issue later on, because it's just weird
I noticed this when I first got this phone, I just moved the Dialer icon elsewhere on the Dock and it never happened again, strange but a non issue.

Pls read the above thread, just posted my theory there for this issue, its probably about time we start a proper thread for this issue.
I'm sure this is related to the charging issue, the charging problem screws up the touch's on the screen, which is why the phone app seemlingly appears randomly

Since Lollipop update my keyboard won't open...sometimes!

So every since I updated my t-mobile HTC M8 to lollipop, about every week or so, the keyboard won't open...just won't appear at all. I have tried a 3rd party keyboard as well...same results.
Has anyone else seen this behavior???

Yes I believe it's a known issue. I experienced the same thing.
I know this isn't a fix but just wanted to note that I do not see this happening with Swiftkey. Just saw it was stock keyboard. So you could try a 3rd party keyboard until a fix is pushed out.

As I mentioned, I have tried a 3rd party keyboard (and it happens to be swiftkey)...I have seen it happen at least once since it was installed.

I've had this same experience and it's super annoying! I have to reboot my phone to be able to update my Insta sometimes!! I'm not technical so I don't know what else to do.
Locking and unlocking your phone a few times quickly (power button) will correct the issue.

Thank you, I'll try that!
Same issue here. Haven't found out, what triggers the problem, but it's definitely not happened with (HTC Stock) Android 4.4.
I solve the problem by:
-> beforehand: BE CAREFUL: This means deleting all your settings for the HTC keyboard!! I think also memorized/stored words and stuff. It means back to stock for the keyboard.
I open Settings - Apps - All Apps - HTC Sense Input and delete all data. Since my only settings for the keyboard are disabling any type of Autocorrect and spell check, these are set again very quickly.
Why I do this? Because after a restart I get this problem again in about a day, and this solution seems to last a bit longer.
I hope, HTC knows about the problem. I wouldn't have updated, if the update functionality could be disabled (not because I was able to foresee the keyboard problem, but because Android 4 was kinda perfect).

I've seen the solutions offered on forums, everything from resetting the phone to toggling the power button to simply pretending you were typing (where the keyboard would appear one key at a time); one interesting one was to clear the data on the "Touch Input" app, which I did not have on my M8, so I cleared the data on a random program - I chose the first one that had data, the "Blink Feed" program (which I haven't set up or used yet), and the keyboard began appearing again.
So the solution may be to simply 'clear data' - on any program, but perhaps Blink Feed in particular.
I also saw that people upgraded to the Lollipop operating system and began to experience the problem, but rather than dealing with that, the clear data method is easier and quicker, until HTC fixes the problem and offers a Lollipop patch.
edit: ignore, didn't check the date of earlier posts.
