If you look at the upper right hand corner of my home screen, you will see that the information box which shows time, battery percentage is fuzzy and shows overlapping different information.
That information box works perfectly when it appears on all other screens.
How can I correct it on the home screen?
Does it happen in portrait and landxcape?
Are you rooted, maybe something you installed
Try a factory reset
Interesting comment.
I discovered it only appears in landscape.
No, I have not rooted the tablet.
You've accidentally taken a screen shot and then set that as the background.... go and check your wallpaper settings.
Been there, done that, albeit on my s4!

Anyone else having problems getting items to appear on the Today screen?
I am having some trouble getting things to appear on the Today screen. If I go to Start, Settings, Today and then to the Items tab, that is suppose to be where you can check things off that you want to appear on the Today screen. I check some things off like Skyfire, Wunderradio, etc and then click OK on the top right corner. But when I go back to the today screen, the items dont appear. If I go back to the settings, nothing is checked anymore.
Also, Ive seen some people have Weather appear on their today screen. Example, "Sun" kinda right in front of their clock. I see no option for Weather to appear on Today screen.
There is one option checked when you return:
TouchFlo
So you have to uncheck this one to activate others.
ahhh ok. That did it. Not quite what I hoped itd be. I was hoping for keeping my the original clock and what not but I guess you have to use custom themes/skins for that.
Thanks
I'm relatively new to my HTC one M8 and I've tried to do a search for this but nothing has come up.
I've set my "home screen" to be the 3rd screen from the left instead of the default 2nd screen from the left. So swiping to the left from the lock screen is supposed to take you to your home screen but it keeps taking me to the 2nd screen from the left even though I've changed it to the 3rd screen. Is something wrong with my phone or does this happen to everyone?
Thanks

Where do you see that it is suppose to take you to your home screen? It says takes you to widget panel in the settings "which I don't even know what that is" but it just takes you to the last screen open, not necessarily home. Mine does the same thing as yours.

Wake up the phone directly to the Home widget panel
1. Lift the phone in
portrait orientation.
2. Swipe left across the
screen right away.
This home widget panel is what I set as my home screen right? I see no reason that it would keep going to the screen next to blink feed. Is there some way I can choose what my home widget panel is?

Home Widget panel is the 1st screen after Blinkfeed which can have widgets on. Above behaviour is also true when you set the Blinkfeed as your home screen.
I've noticed the touch position is a little bit off (offset to the right). Check the images attached. I turned on "show touches" in the Developer Options to demonstrate. In the first picture I put my finger on the left edge of the display and took a screenshot. What it *should* look like is the point being half on and half off the display. The second one I did the same to the right side; notice how the center of the point is entirely off the display, indicating it's sensing a touch the isn't even on the display. This has occasionally made me miss a button, so I know there's a real tangible effect to it.
I have noticed this too, is there no way of fixing this? gets very annoying while typing because it occasionally puts on a different letter!
Did you ever figure out a way?

I can't find the touch test option there..
Where exactly is it and what does it do?

Did anyone find a way to calibrate?
Calibration
For the. LG g3, it's under gestures. Motion sensor Calibration

That's a different type of calibration. We're talking about touches and where the phone registers touches on the screen. It seems a bit off.
@scy1192, how did you generate those 2 images? how did you test out the touch screen result?
thanks in advance for the answer.

Enable developer options then in the developer options menu, choose "Show touches"
Also, I found out the reason it was doing that. Seems like the touch point shown doesn't exactly match up to where it detects your touch. Must just be an error of the "show touches" option now drawing on the screen correctly.
Let me bump that thread since I have a bit of information to add.
Just for anyone wondering - you can
"Upgrade the Touch Firmware" in the Test-Settings Menu (just like you could with the G2)
I guess that 's what LG means with Touch Re-Calibration.
There are also quite some tests you can do there to see if anything is off.
I think it comes down to their Keyboard and Sensitivity of the Hardware in itself and the thickness of your Fingers.
I noticed that I often misstype with the LG-Keyboard - that is due to the buttons being to small in width and most importantly the area between the SPACEBAR and Soft-Buttons which doesn't know if it should trigger the spacebar or the menukey as such won't do anything when you hit the sweet spot inbetween them. So to workaround that the best would be to hide the softbuttons upon entering text.
Cheers.
Any update ? Upgrading the touch firmware didn't help for me. The problem happen after I changed the screen.
As the title says, somehow I moved the primary short cuts the ones at the bottom of the home screen to the side where they are stacked vertically. They are over lapping existing short cuts that can no longer be pressed without the primary being activated.
So the question is how did I do it, and how do I get it back to normal where they are at the bottom again?
I have looked around and I can not find any real answers so help would be appreciated.

You probably turned on one handed mode - adds home back and recents keys to the right side. Generally a toggle in the notification bar, or somewhere in the settings you will find it. I hit toggles all the time justpulling the phone out of my pocket...
Hope this helps.

No I am afraid that was not it as the ONLY thing that was changed was the location of those primary shortcuts. The rest of the phone and display worked normally. The one hand mode cause the keypad for dialing to shrink and shift to the desired side. When this happened the keypad was still normal.
When you say primary shortcuts, are you talking about the dock? Or home, back, recent keys? If the latter, there is a Side key panel setting in display settings - one handed operation which does that without shrinking anything. Posting a screen shot here may help us identify your issue

I assumed you meant the menu back and home keys, on rereading perhaps you meant the dock. Did you figure it out yet?

Yes I meant the dock, and no I have not figured out how I did it. I am now thinking maybe my display just wigged out and it ended up that way. I was able to fix by enabling easy mode then turning it back to normal mode.
Thid weird issue started today in the morning, first I noticed that the clock widget had changed size, and that the led me know ring around the cam hole was out of place, but, when trying to write in whatsapp, I no longer could make the keyboard to appear by taping the wrinting field, in fact, nothing located in the bottom worked, what is odd, the bottom gestures worked, as I hid the nav bar since day one, tried everything, changed dpi, changed keyboards, retired the screen protector, wiped cache, to no avail, reluctantly, I updated to android 10, but no luck, after digging more, I found a work around, I changed the resolution from quad hd to full hd, now all is normal, but, this is just a work around, not a real solution, somebody have an idea of what would be the reason for this?
Did you have your phone linked to windows, your computer online and the phone screen displayed at that time? In this case, if you chose to use your computer's hardware keyboard in Your phone settings on your computer, then, when trying to write something in whatsapp, the virtual keyboard on your phone is not displayed or it is partially displayed. In my case, using the AI Type keyboard, only the top row of the keyboard was displayed because the app thought I'm using my computer's keyboard.

Thanks for your reply, but no, in fact I have never used the phone in that way, something else caused the issue

Was your phone charging at the time by any chance?
I found the solution!
I had the exact same problem with my note 10 plus, the gestures worked, and I tested the bottom part of the screen to make sure everything was working and it was, but the buttons in apps like instagram at the very bottom of the screen still were unresponsive most of the time. The solution is to ho to your settings, switch the navigation bar to the other gesture variant and then back to you preffered one and it should work. It worked for me.
Thanks man, I just found what triggers the issue, as odd as it seems, changing resolutions from qhd to fhd id what causes the issue, odd, because I used a bixby routine to save power at nights, by setting medium power saving, which among other things, lowered the screen resolution to fhd, when the routine ended, it should reverse to qhd, and that precisely triggered the issue, I used this routine for months, until, out of the blue, it started to cause this problem
