So the distance walked and cycled isn't coming up for Google now since I've owned the phone. I remember turning it on when they added it, but never get a update. I also don't see where to do it any more.
Also hitting the menu button when Google now is opened flashes the menu real quick and disappears every time.

It has been an issue since latest update, you still can access to setting by opening any cards then the setting menu will be accessible.
As pakxeloas states enter the by pressing the 3 dots on the upper right of any visible card. Once you have done that you should be able to activate the "Distance travelled card". If it still does not work, switch off Google Now completely and the switch it on again.

Hello. So I got into a problem this morning while updating Golauncher EX. I updated it and when I pressed home, I accidentally chose to have GoTo (a lockscreen application) the default app for that. Now my phone can't return to launcher at all.
When I reboot I just get a blank screen and can't do anything besides bring the notification bar down.
I know I can easily fix this by going into settings, but I can't get to that without launcher. So I tried to get into safe mode (boot holding vol down, track pad, and menu) and I can get there after the phone vibrates (it says safe mode in bottom corner), but before I can do anything the phone reboots. I don't really want to resort to a factory reset yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Also I haven't rooted my phone yet.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
The only thing i can think of is press the search button, and see if that brings up the search screen. I would navigate my way to market or something, install adw, then hit home. The pop up for default should come up again, then you can make golauncher ex default?

Delete it from phone with computer. I think all the files pertaining to the app should be in sdcard/data and data/data...
Thanks for the tips guys. btw I tried using search, but nothing would pop up, but for some reason hitting menu would make a keyboard appear.
Anyways, something weird happened where when I tried booting into safe mode, my phone seemed to wipe all my settings and went into the normal launcher. It didn't delete all my apps, but made the majority of them strangely force close whenever I opened them.
In the end I just rooted my phone and everything is perfect now!
Good to hear.

I've had the phone for two days now and this has happened 3 times now.
The worst one was I got a phone call but the keyboard was up and the back button wasn't there to get rid of it. So I couldn't answer the phone.
One time I couldn't exit the settings menu because the buttons disappeared.
To remedy I turn off the display, turn it back on and unlock to the camera. I think because the camera has the special hidden buttons it causes the phone to refresh the button display otherwise I couldn't find another way to do it.
Has this happened to others? I haven't seen threads about it.

I lost them once but got them back by turning the phone sideways and then back upright once the buttons reappeared.

Oh wow, yea, that would probably work too. But some apps lock to portrait (dialer).

Happened to me while I was playing a game (Reckless Gateway) and received a call at the same time. After the call, soft buttons wouldn't appear anymore, had to restart my phone
I have only lost the buttons when flashing a mod that was not compatible...in that situation I did not have the virtual buttons or the notification bar at all.
Never happened to me on stock or rom. What build/android is your phone? You can find info in settings>about phone

This has happened to me a couple times while using Google Nav. I just pulled down the notification bar and hit the settings button - that seemed to bring the buttons back. Strange issue.
Just a few kinks that need ironing out.. hopefully Google is aware of minor bugs like this already

Yep, exactly. Though I wouldn't call this minor because it made me miss a call.
Another thing I just noticed. Go into an app that has the menu virtual button (the three dots) then turn off the screen. Turn it back on and the menu button will be the only virtual button on the Lock Screen. You can press it and automatically unlock the phone. I'm using slide to unlock and the news and weather app to do this every time.
Edit: Just tried with a different lock (pattern) and the menu button will not unlock. But it is still there and you can press it. It just does nothing. Weird.
Hope someone can help, I've searched but couldn't find the answer.
I have a really annoying problem in that if I lock my phone then unlock it, if i open an already open app, the bottom key bar (which contains the back key, home key and open apps key) is unresponsive apart from the home button. If I'm in messaging, the keyboard will be as well. If I press the back button for example, it shows it being pressed but does nothing. Sometimes the Google search thing pops up when you hold the home button. To remedy the only way is to press home then open again without locking the screen. Any ideas?
Ya samething happens to my phone also but not always. Wait buddy you will get more bugs like this its sony.
RichRoberts44, what is your FW? Do you have root? Did U unlock bootloader? More info is needed to even try to find a solution
This happens to me also from time to time and I don't even use the key bar, I use gestures with a 3rd party app. When this happens only home gesture works. It does happen rarely though.
The same problem began on my phone two weeks ago. Over the last two weeks, it increased. I had to restart my phone all the time. Besides the two issues you describe, I had two additional issues:
The clock on the lock screen didn't always appear when I managed to turn on the phone.
When I put the phone to sleep, I often couldn't turn it back on for several minutes.
Over the two weeks, all the problems occurred still more often. At the end, it was so annoying, that I backed up all my stuff and did a factory reset and recovered the backup. Now it is working perfectly again.
I run 14.4.A.0.157
are y0u r00ted 0r what?h0w ab0ut the running apps?is it t00 many?

So my phone was in my pocket and it was getting hot so i took it out, and saw it on the boot animation. I left it and it didn't go past this boot screen so i held in the power button to restart it, and it restarted. Only when i turned it on, my 4G plan was active, and I could no longer use the notification pull down bar. I can swipe down from the top once, but not a second time to access quick settings. Also my circle and square (home and multitask) buttons are not working, the phone vibrates when i touch them but nothing happens, only the triangle (back) button works. On the lock screen, there is no longer an option to swipe right for the camera, and double pressing the home button to activate the camera does nothing, it just turns the display on and off. I have tried putting the phone into safe mode to see if an app was causing the problem, but the problem persists, when i turned my phone back on normally, the widgets on my home screen had disappeared. I tried switching accounts to the guest account but it says 'switching to guest' and then seems to fail to switch to the guest account and quickly says 'switching to (main account name)', before returning to my main account. Any ideas, I really need the problem fixed, thanks in advance!
stock rom??
my advice if you cant fix it try to do a factory reset do it like your last resource cause it wipes all data
another advice you should always have a backup you never know when **** like this happens
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I am running stock ROM, so strange that this has happened.
I am struggling to backup photos etc as i would usually enable usb debugging and just click and drag the folders over to my PC, but it says on my settings page that 'developer options are not available to this user', so I am having to use another photo backup website, which is annoying.
This happened to be when I manually updated from MMB29Q to MHC19J without flashing MMB29V first. Only solution was to boot into TWRP to backup my files and then factory reset.

Has anyone else had the home button stop working? It has happened to me twice and a reboot restores it. I'm running the stock US Unlocked but rooted RUU.

I've got the same problem. It worked after a reboot when I first got the phone. I put it in extreme power saver mode the next night and when I went back to standard mode my home button wouldn't work. I'm running everything stock, I'm on T-Mobile, I've tried updates, reboots, and a factory reset. Nothing has worked. I read a thread about an older HTC phone that said clearing the cache on HTC Sense worked for them but that didn't help for me either.

Best thing to do is to send it back for service. In my country (Belgium) HTC has great service. The sooner the better!
I've figured it out. How to fix the finger scanner /home button.
Start in your settings.
Then to apps. In apps hit the soft key in the top right corner of the screen. A new window will open up. Tap "show settings" this will show finger scanner app. Scroll down and tap on that app. Now tap "force stop". After this back out to home screen and restart your phone.
This should fix the problem. I had the same issues with my HTC 10. The scanner/home pad not working at all and no longer showing up in the "settings". I tried calling HTC customer care and did a hard reset..... 4x plus did a complete wipe and recovery. But that wouldn't fix the issue as well. So the other day I followed the top description. Now it works with no glitches.
Hope this helps you out.

Thank you so much, worked like a charm!
Edit: WORKED like a charm for boot up and a few minutes, but then stopped again. I assume I have a software interference issue...
Help
I also have this problem now both my home and finger sensor stopped working. I did a factory reset it worked for a bit and it stop working again. Please help.
Hi,
Similar thing happen to me but instead of the finger print my back button and recent app button stop working. The problem starts after i turn on the extreme power server and turn back off. I have tried hard reset and it will only work for few hours and then the same issue comes up. But i have notice if i open google maps both buttons work. I have not rooted the phone. Dose anyone knows how to fix this issue?.

Did you try to rescan your fingerprint from different positions. And another thing when used to fingerprint. Do you use smartlock setting? I mean maybe it detects you are in a trusted area and you do not even need to unlock it with fingerprint? Then it just shows the lockscreen when you tap it.
Greetings,
Same issue

I have this issue as well - and when I open google maps it works fine from there... Possible that it works from other apps but at other times they are really unresponsive. Did you ever fix your problem?
UPDATE - I just turned extreme power saver mode on then off and it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment...
OMG works!
