[Q] App Drawer Button Not Centre - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Not really sure what's going on but there is a weird issue with my G3.
For some reason, the circular app drawer button isn't at the centre. It has now moved one step to the left while the centre has been occupied by the phone ico. I've tried long pressing on the homescreen and shifting around the icons but nope, it keeps going to the left. Is there anyway to bring it back to the centre? It's really bugging me and I think my OCD is starting to kick in.

Just try long pressing on the app drawer icon itself and moving it over. Also, do you have enough icons in your tray to make one of them directly center?

You have to have an odd number of icons in order to make one dead center

Yes this is correct. The bottom dock has a dynamic layout.

title bar clock and htc home clock off by # of seconds

has anyone noticed that if you have both the htc home plugin and the title bar clock on the home screen that they are off by a number of seconds?

Happens to mine on my Mogul. Wish I could just take the clock of the title bar and just have the plug in.
there are REG edits to take the clock off of the title bar... If you need your clock to be more accurate than what the one on the phone is you should probably be using something a little better than your phone to tell time!
strange my 6700 didnt have this problem
could someone with a solution shed some light onto this matter

Then again, if you buy an IT device that costs as much as the Hermes, you'd think that the clock would be accurate.

I tried the reg edit but there is a block where the time used to be, and while it blends in with the bar itself, it overlaps the item to its left a little.
And i have the same problem. its weird.

Clock issue

Hey guys for some reason the calender icon no longer shows up next to my clock. Im not talking about the tab icon in the corner im talking about the actual bigger icon....no idea why can anyone help

Yeah, I can help you, but WHAT icon do you want. As you can tell your statement contradicts itself. So which icon doesn't show up, the one next to your clock or the Bigger icon. You said the calendar icon next to you clock no longer shows up, but you want the bigger icon, HUH?!?
no it dosent contradict it self because in the corner of each panel theres a tiny icon and then next to the clock theres a big icon so i clafied that, i need the big icon right next to the numbers of the clock. it was a calender or soemthing please help its drivin me nuts
I think I know what you're trying to say
First off don't be so quick to jab, you are coming here for help you know. I was just pointing out that what you said really isn't describing your problem correctly.
That being said. I think what you are referring to is your alarm. It has a picture and it's right next to your clock as you call it or the time display portion of your Clock Panel. Anyway, it only shows when your alarm is present. Try turning on your alarm and see if that does it.
If that is not what you are talking about, then the only other thing I could think of is that you mean your tiny icon could be your inactive icon or your active icon. These would require registry edits to put them back on your screen. You need to go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Clock and edit where it says the icon paths are. Not hard to do. Also you might want to edit the HKLM\Security\CHome\Default Settings\Clock portion of the iconpaths. This should fix that. If that is your problem. Other than that, you're on your own. Unless you can articulate yourself better or in a fashion in which all can understand you or your dilemma!!
Cheers!

Clock falls behind
I'm having problems with the clock falling behind. I go to sleep, wake up, and the clock is about 20-30 minutes behind. I'm running the 6.1 rom. Any help is appreciated.

So are you saying that, with knowing the right key in the registry, one could change that dinky looking transparent music note on the Music panel to, say, something with more class? I have several icons at my disposal (as I'm sure most here do) and would love to change that icon...Also, the tiny icon on the upper left corner of the home panel just next to the carrier (T-Mo) is just a calendar...it was something different before I hard reset the phone with this ROM installed. If you know these keys, please list them! I'd appreciate it ever so much!

Just find the folder of the panel you wish to modify and look for the key iconpath, within that folder. Direct it to your own icon.
FYI export the keys just in case you goof up something, you can import them again

Click on the clock panel and scroll to the auto-update time option and uncheck it.

I see where the string for icon paths entry reads 2401;2401...should I just change that to \Windows\music.png?

yup in both reg address though
Also you would have to type it out as: \Windows\music.png;\Windows\music.png
Cause the first is for active window icon and the second is for inactive window icon.
ok well...it changed the small icon in the title of the panel but not the main icon
I want to replace the WM6.1 default transparent music note with the png I have placed in windows...where do I alter that or can I?
can you post a screen shot of the icon you want changed.
i cant picture which one you are speaking off.

Try going to the reg to and changing HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CMusic\Images\chMusic_noalbumart and the same in Security reg for chome. I think those change the big default icon that shows when no album art is present.

Thanks for the tip. For clarity, I speak of the transparent music note that is positioned just to the left of "Play All Songs" within the panel. Now I can't believe it'd be too hard to spot. I've flashed my phone with Kavana's so those with that ROM can't have too different a panel!
On that note, pun intended, I may have found it due to your suggestion Showaco! I should have investigated more. I mean it was right there!

[Q] Setting the default homescreen on the One X

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is something really silly and simple that I'm somehow missing, but I'm unable to change the default home screen on the HTC One X. Is this not supported on the stock ROM without installing a 3rd party launcher? I'd really like to be able to change the default homescreen. When I say default, I mean the one the stock launcher takes you to upon pressing home.
I've tried looking all over but haven't found much. I'm guessing the feature exists because when I zoom out of my homescreen, one of the homescreens has a home icon on it, but I don't know how to change it to some other screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
have you tried to get all the homescreens on the screen together and just press the one you want and move it around? what i mean you get all 7 of the homescreens together. if you press on one you can move it in the order you want..so you have the homescreen the main one in the middle the one with the home icon well you can move it to the top and that will be like page 1 starting from left to right.. hope that helps

I understand what you are saying but I think you are misunderstanding his question
if I have 7 screens and say for instance I want to make screen 6 the home screen how does one do that (so that when you press the home button it will go to screen 6 and not to the middle screen [current home icon])
I have searched for this feature as well to no avail
Move all the features that are on screen 6 to screen 1. Duh. You're thinking in reverse. Think forward. Best o luck to ya.

I think you got it backwards that is alot of PT simple put how do you make another screen the home screen
it was simple with my Moto Milestone you just selected "make this the home screen"
I am thinking this is a limitation in Sense 4.0
not a biggy, but fundamentals are missing
Solution?
I might have a solution. I accidentally changed my home screen so everytime I pushed the Home button on the bottom it went to the wrong screen. The way I fixed mine was doing a restart from the screen I wanted to be the home screen. Once the reboot was complete, my home screen was set correctly.
/update Nope, somehow it randomly got changed again, tried what I thought fixed it above, doesn't work. This is stupid, obviously there is a way to change it, shouldnt be this difficult. I have exactly 9 days to return this phone, I am considering it with all the issues I've had.
I just saw on the SGS3 review that the home screen can be changed easily….
Each screen as an icon on it when in fan view. One is designated as home, to change, just click the icon on the screen you want to be home. Whatever tiles/widgets/apps are on that screen, its still home.
With the One X, you can have any of the 7 screens as home but the tiles/widgets/apps move with the home page (by dragging the home screen around and changing its order)
The only way to do it would change home screen and then manually change all the icons/widgets after

Swipe from lock screen opens camera

About half the time, when I swipe the lock screen to unlock, the camera app opens. This is annoying. Is this a bug, or is it a feature? Does anybody know a way to turn it off? I can't find anything in settings that seems to do it.
It is a lock screen widget.
You get this by swiping from the right bezel across to the left bezel when on the lock screen.
The default is the camera.
To remove:
swipe from left bezel to the right bezel
press 'Tap to add widgets'
un-tick Camera (top left icon)

For me, swiping from left to right either unlocks the tablet or will cause the time indication to scroll across the screen. It never brings up a "Tap to add widgets" option. Does that work differently for you?
If I disable the camera, and have no other lock widgets selected, then the swipe from bezel to bezel (in either direction) just (slighty) rotates the large digital clock
So, how do you get to the option to disable the camera widget?

Once again, when I swipe bezel-to-bezel or otherwise, I never get a "Tap to add widgets" icon. If I touch the clock, I get a large empty rectangle at the bottom of the screen. Not sure how to get the "Tap" option.
All my notes above were for portrait mode.
Try it in landscape mode. Just swipe left to right on the clock.

woody1 , i used to have the same issue .
when u are at the lock screen , keep swiping from left to right on the clock widget, u will eventually reach the "add" button , u can remove the camera from there.
interestingly, what i did to resolve the camera widget popping out issue, is remove all the clock widgets ,except one, on the lock screen ... without having to remove the camera widget itself. furthermore more , it seemed to resolve the weird slow downs i was experiencing. on the lock screen after wake up.
i dont know what caused these multiple clock widgets to appear ,but removing them solved it for me. i am pretty sure it is a bug
That did the trick! I'm surprised that nobody else has commented on this problem. Thanks much for your help!

Never had this come up, i did what SURGE did a long time ago. Press and hold the clock and remove each one (not sure how i got 5 clocks on there) and just leave the one.

Yes, it's a tricky thing. I switched to Nova Launcher a while back. I wonder if changing the launcher might have caused the multiple clocks?

Possible, but i had the multiple clocks before i installed Google Now Launcher. Still debating if i should just throw Nova on like in my Optimus G ...
i don't. think it is an alternative launcher issue , in my case , i only used the stock lg one .
in my case i had ALOT of clock widgets (i was maxed out on the possible amout of widgets on the lock screen ).
at first i thought it was a used unit issue , where somebody messed around with the tablet before repackaging it, but then i noticed a pattern where ,when i was waking up the tablet,it would slow down abit . then i would check the lockscreen and saw that a new widget was generated.
so i assume it is either a lockscreen app issue or a waking up the tablet one.
my question to both of you gentlemen is :
-which lock screen are u using (slide, pattern , etc ) ?
- are. you using a smart cover/case (you know the one that automatically wakes up the tablet when u open the cover ) ?
becoz disabeling the smart cover also seemed to stop the issue in my case

To answer your questions, I'm using the default swipe to unlock and I've never used a smart cover. I don't know when the multiple clocks appeared. They don't seem to have come back since I deleted them a few days ago.

[Q] I lost the horizontal quick access strip on my p600

When I started my 600 for the first time yesterday, the home screen had about six app icons on a horizontal strip at the bottom of the screen. I don't know what I did, but the strip is gone and the icons now just appear as any others on the home screen.
I liked that strip for quick access to important apps.
Anyone know how to restore it?
Thanks,

Are you using TouchWiz or a separate launcher?
It's in the settings somewhere and should be labeled as dock, dock settings. Check out appearance/window settings. It's in there.
Touchwiz stock
