Anyone else experiencing the screen randomly going into daydream mode where it displays a green circle showing the time and date?
Just realised that the green circle is what is displayed if you have the special case with the clear circular window. Weird thing is that sometimes the phones just acts like the case is on when there is nothing there. Sensitive sensor I guess.
That happens if you get the phone near a powerful enough magnet. The flip case has a little magnet which, when detected, activates the clock.

I have situations sometimes when Pro2 starts making multiple slider activation sounds (which I have enabled in Windows settings), where as the actual slider in not moving. I cannot see what happens on the screen during this because it sits in my pouch, but it is always unlocked when I get it out.
When I try to actually use slider, the sound only goes of when slider is half-way through! While when in pouch, it is slider is completely static.
Anyone else is seeing this, it bugs me as hell. I installed custom locking application, but it is set to unlock on slider events (which is what I want), and thus the device unlocks when this starts happening.
I am starting to suspect G Sensor, but so far could not repro this issue manually, with device outside of belt pouch.
If you have a case with a magnetic latch, this may be your problem. We discovered that when the phone is passed over the magnet in the latch, it will unlock the phone and activate the display and slider sound.
That was it, thank you.
Ugh! My favorite kind of belt pouch is magnetic.. What exactly was it doing? Unlocking itself!?
Not all magnetic pouches make the phone go nuts. I have 2 magnetic ones and neither one turn it on when I put it in or take it out of the case.

Try an experiment. Run the bottom of your phone (where your talk and end keys are at) close to the magnetic latch and see if it unlocks it.
We discovered that it also changed some settings.
If i run the magnet over the phone like that it turns it on, but putting the phone in and out of the case don't.
I was having issues with the magnet in my phone case actually turning on the screen, and taking off the keylock! Pretty crazy, but it was happening. In order to fix this I had to disable the phone from waking up when the keyboard is slid out...not a big deal, I never slid the keyboard out unless the screen was on anyway. The problem is solved.
My question is will this have any negative effect on the phone? Will the magnet in the case mess with the accelerometer or g-sensor? I would hate for the case to cause future issues.
Thanks.
Anybody have any ideas?
I don't know about the accelerometer, but in my phone it seems to mess with the stylus sensor, and turn the phone on and unlock it.
The stylus sensor on the TP2 is not magnetic, but the keyboard slide sensor is. That is why magnets turn the phone on.

Not on mine - I have the universal one and that one has no magnetic unlock mechanism.
As far as I know the G-sensor has nothing to do with magnets and cannot be interfered by magnets. (Have a magnetic button on my shield)
Anytime I turn on the phone after taking it out of the case it thinks it's in lanscape mode. I had to turn off the option of having the phone turn on when the keyboard is slid out.
What I'm wondering is if the magnet in my case will effect this sensor or anything else in the phone?
Thanks.
In short the answer is no. It is in landscape mode because you take the phone out past the magnets to get it out of the holder. There is a magnet in the keyboard sliding mechanism that is used to trigger landscape mode when you slide it out. When you pull it out of the holder the phone thinks you have opened keyboard and goes into landscape mode. In a few seconds when it realizes that you havent opened the keyboard, it goes back to regular mode.
Hope this helps clarify things. Bottom line is that the holder will not do anything negative to phone or degrade its performance in any way. I have two factory HTC cases that both have magnets in them from my Kaisers. Even HTC wouldnt ship somthing that was bad for the phone with them.

Sounds good, thanks for the explanation. I knew it was the magnet playing w/ the KB sensor, but I just wasn't sure if it would have any negative effect on the phone itself. It looks as though it will not!
Thanks.
What's the best way to stop the phone answering calls when I open my case (it has a magnetic catch)? I went to add SlideWakeup = 0 in the registry, but it's already there.
I'm running S2U2, latest version if that makes a difference.
Thanks
I run s2u2 also, no issues when I pull it out...other than the screen is on, which is no big deal, but the screen is still locked.
Hi all!
I just got my Desire yesterday and haven't had the time to root it yet.
When mocking around with the camera i noticed that on the screen there was a red line fairly centered. My initial thoughts was that this was like a center measuring point or something, but it turns out is sticks on the actual photos taken, like on the attached pictures (that are _completely_ untouched).
It's a bit transparent, so it's almost as if it's a line drawn by a red very thin marker.
It still shows after flipping the back cover off, and I can't see a drawn line on the actual optic (just tried with a regular magnifying glass ... nothing fancier than that).
Anyone had this same problem?
I'm thinking of sending it back since it seems to be a HW-defect, but just wanted to check in with you guys first
So far my new zenwatch has been great. However, I have noticed in a couple apps such as Multi Calculator for wear, that buttons at the bottom like . and at the top like ac/c don't respond very well. Then I noticed that throughout the entire watch interface, the top and bottom 1/4 of the screen (not the bezel) are entirely unresponsive to touch. I wanted to see if this was a defect or possibly a byproduct of that curved glass not allowing the capacitive sensor to extend beyond that middle portion of the screen. Does anyone else notice this?
I've mostly been marking it up to bad aim on my part but it seems to me that I often miss touches in the upper right corner. Too soon to tell if it's the watch or just my shakiness.
Yeah I thought my aim was off too. Try dragging from the top on the watch face screen. You'll notice it actually starts to pull it down a few millimeters from the top. I was hoping it was a defect so I could just exchange it but my fear is that they all do it and it is not fixable via software.
I agree that the first couple of millimeters of the actual screen don't respond but nowhere near 1/4 of it.
I notice this on my zenwatch after using an lg g watch, g watch r and moto 360 all side by side. The zenwatch also seams less accurate on thing nlike minuum keyboard and generally with scrolling. I suspect a cheaper less accurate digitizer has been used?
On mine I can hit the topmost part of the screen, the bottom, and all corners. I turned on "Show touches" in the developer options to make sure it registers where im touching. If you test it that way, you can see if its a defective screen or just accuracy issues.
My HTC One (M8) started to have flickering screen issues a few days back, sometimes the screen wouldn't turn on, occasionally it would turn on, but it was barely noticeable, because the backlight didn't turn on. I realized that slightly bending (no extreme force, of course) would influence the behavior: Top left, bottom right as pressure points makes the screen work, top right, bottom left makes it stop working. Similarly applying pressure on the sides (the middle of the lower half, roughly) makes the screen not work. It looks like it might just be a loose connection somewhere? Anybody have a tip for what to do about it?
And now the screen doesn't turn on at all anymore. I guess that was expected. I googled around a bit and it seems like the company doing repairs for HTC in Austria is shady and known for blaming things on mechanical or water damage (the phone fell down, but that was about six month ago, and except for a few scratches on the metal nothing happened).
Does anyone have an idea if this might just be a loose contact somewhere that I could fix by myself?
