compressed volume bars - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
Please take a look at the attached screenshots. The volume bars for the system and phone sound seem to be compressed. I had this problem with the original ROM and also the upgraded AKU3.2 ROM which leads me to believe this is an application that is causing this to happen to the volume bars.
It happens in both portrait and landscape modes and a reset does not fix it.
Please compare these screenshots to your system to see if you have same problem then we can maybe do some app comparisons to see what is causing it..... unless there is another reason for it?
Thanks.

I seen what you mean. It's perfectly functional, except that the icons are slightly overwritten.
I do not have your problem, unfortunately, but it could maybe be because of the skinning program you use (to display the running programs). They tend to fiddle with the system dialogs.
The only other thing I can think of it maybe something that hacked/changed the system font/dpi settings

No problem on my Wizard. Have you changed your fonts? On my screen, the radio button for the on, vibrate, and vibrate, are not touching each other. There is a gap in between.

I am using magic button for the closing of programs but i have only started to use this recently. I havent changed any font sizes or any other display settings either. (I have tested changing them though but this didnt make any difference)

By itself, Magic Button shouldn't be the issue since I've been using Magic Button for almost a year and haven't seen the problem you're having.

Yes I know - with or without magicbutton i still get the same problem.

changing system font in the registry will cause the buttons and button text to be smaller and buttons look compressed.

Wrong icon

Does anybody face this problem with the JAM.
When I press the Permenant Save or the Device Information and some othet icons on the System Settings, I always get the backlight screen.
Any solution!... Thanks
Nope... all my icons are running the correct app.
(I think it's time for you to do a hard reset...)
Yeah, I've got the same problem :-(
It's somewhat intermittent...

Same here. The Panelbutton as well as the Camera button still work in S2U2 lock mode. It doesn't concern me much, because it's essential that noone gets a phone call or music starts to play while the phone is in my pocket. If the panel-button is accidentally pressed nothing bad happens.

This sometimes occured when I set the "Display Mode" to DirectDraw. Now I use RawBuffer and haven't had this problem for 3 weeks now.
Let me ask you a question:
When in landscape-mode and the phone is locked with S2U2 the button to slide reacts very slow. In portrait-mode the button follows the finger very quickly. Is it the same with your phone?

I have the same problem. Maybe it's the X1
Thanks, so then I'm calmed First I thought it could be an issue of the picture I use but after a few different ones it was still the same. So it's not just my phone
that's interesting, with the exception of the landscape problem I wasn't aware of the x-panel and camera button issues. This is more likely going to be a fix / update needed for S2U2...
I have got the same problem.
S2U2 doesn't work correctly in landscape mode on my Xperia. The sliding thing and the whole program become very slow.
This problem doesn't seem to be solved yet.
I am wondering if its a Xperia only problem, otherwise in should have been fixed till now.

The Xperia always seems to be very slow in landscape mode no matter if I'm using the SE panel, the messaging application or touchflo3D. Very strange behaviour considering the display resolution stays the same.
It is partly a xperia specific problem. The panel button is controlled at a very low level in the phone. The panel button action is located in the registry, but that action is called from a low level. The button isn`t recorded by most programs.
A_C knows of this issue.
btw, you can disable landscape for s2u2. So it`s in portrait allways.

Yeah, that's right. But then sometimes the screen messes up completely when I slide out the keyboard and the phone wants to change the screen mode. Also, I have problems with the dialer and S2U2. Sometimes the dialer screen stays on top but S2U2 locks the screen. There is no way to unlock the screen anymore because S2U2 is not on top but the dialer screen cannot be closed.
If this problem is Xperia specific, I will disable S2U2 in landscape mode. I always hoped they will bring a update which solves this problem.

Yes i realized the same. I thought this would be a problem of Windows Mobile and not of the Xperia. If it is a Xperia problem, this is a big minus point for the phone.
It's a nice unlock system, but I have found that when I use this programme the battery loses power quickly.
was using ver 1.44 very stable for a long time
until i installed panel manager from r3a... same issues with panel button unlocking and ok button unlocking
upgraded to 1.62 and problems got worse...
downgraded to 1.52 and switched back to panel manager r2a for the time being.. which is ok.. b/c i rarely used the growing panel and the new cnn panel sucked anyway..
would love to have all the features of s2u2 1.62 but alas xperia doesn't quite seem to work that well with it
currently i have s2u2 set to ignore screen rotation and not unlock with keyboard slide out
my only real grief at this point is that it won't let me use slied to answer or just the regular answer keys with caller id turned on ... i have to turn it off and use the SE answer key completely unlocks my phone to display that message too so agravating...
A_c makes a kick ass program none-the-less ... !!!
same problem here. Also with last version no lock for panel button and camera button...
Camera and Panel button are known issues ...but not a problem for me either -as I do not see S2U2 as a "security focused lock" ...instead I see it as a "prevent accidental calls etc" type of lock
I still use the system lock with password if I need to "security lock it" (using a today shortcut that immediately invokes it, with password)
Must say I suffered some probs with v1.4 and v1.5 (caller ID & power drain)
But am using 1.62 without problems -it doesn't freeze on caller ID (I have it on window rather than full screen) and the battery drain has gone completely (uses <10% overnight for example, with G-alarm and data / active sync both running all night)
I found that it really was critical to uninstall, delete the S2U2 folder in program files, and delete the whole S2U2 tree in the registry ...and then soft reset -before installing the new version
I'm a huge fan of S2U2 ...its just awesome -without a doubt THE must-have app IMHO and always the first thing I install after a hard reset
I use S2U2 and have just upgraded to 1.62. Seems to be working ok so far, although no-one's called me since I upgraded so not sure of freeze problem :-(
(note to self: Get out more, make some friends ;-)
I find landscape doesn't work well at all with S2U2, but then I also find that with PointUI Home2, so maybe it's an X1 thing with particular software...?
The battery drain issue does seem to be resolved in 1.62.
I too am having problems with screen freezing when a call is received - the slider doesn't answer and since I had the buttons disabled there was no way to answer the call.
I'm still experimenting with other settings but I don't get many calls so it is a long process.
Still, a superb program and essential for me because of the problems with a magnetic case which causes calls to be answered just by removing the phone from the case.

Which means it can't even do accidental call prevention properly, as I found today. It's still quite easy to press the Panel button then the Call button in succession, as they are next to each other, especially if the phone's in a case. Result - pocket dialling, defeating the whole object of program. Shame really, as I've found S2U2 ideal on other phones.
Yep landscape is very slow ..... when i put ignore screen rotation on sometimes when open the keyboard screen goes all fuzzy... bitof a problem. But its a great program...sure it just needs some tweaks n bugfixxes for the X1
sweeet on v2.02 im no longer getting these landscape issues

TF3D causing Xperia to Hang forever

Hi guys,
as u know know the TF3D by default takes up the 1st panel.
and when i try to use the other panels..i can no longer press the button X... because whenever i do that..the entire Xperia screen goes blank and hangs up. then even the power button doesnt work and i have to remove and reinsert the battery.
what to do?
this TF3D causing major issues.. is it bugged?
Doing a soft reset is way easier...open the battery cover, pull out the pen und put it in the small hole...
Are you using TF3D as panel or on the default today panel? If not already tried, use the TF3D-Pnaleinstaller here ion the forum...
When i try to access the panels, my X1 hangs most of the time as well, using it as the today screen. Is there any fix?
ya i use it as on Today screen.
is there a fix around this?
i disabled it now anywya.
btw does Soft Reset also delete all the data?
"btw does Soft Reset also delete all the data?"
no thats the diff between soft and hard reset
which version r u guys using? I am using beta2 and I dont have any problem switching panels... only flaw I have in the tf3d is I cant add some people to the favorite list for some reason... otherwise everything is working as it should be
Same here
I wanna know if anyone found a fix for this? or at least let us know if you have this issue. This is what I have narrowed it out to.
I'm using <Touch-IT Xperience v2.1> ROM which has TF3D installed by default
The Panel interface(The screen which opens up when i click panel button) works perfect when i disable TF3D in today
Now when I activate it, am able to open the panel interface and choose any other panel.
After this, if i click on the panel button, the x1 just freezes and all i can do is soft reset
Note:- I have no other application running.
If this continues I have to choose either panels or TF3D. I love it when i can use TF3D for daily use and shift to Facebook or media panel when i need them.
I just wanna know of this indeed a bug or am i missing something big
currently 2 versions available
hi,
i too was suffering fromt he same issues and took a while to realize that the tf3d was causing it.
afaik, there are 2 different versions of tf3d (i mean by 2 diff. people) for xperia.
i beleive most of us are using the one titled 'Full manila hd cabs' (or something similar - extremely sorry for not recalling the name of the developer who's made rhe effort to provide it) - and the one experiencing the issue.
there is another version linkd on the xda wiki, will try it now - and update with names of both developers as well as results
again
actually installing TF3D as a panel solved this issue
but since we have the new manila... the panel doesnt work
so we are back to square one... by default the TF3D sit on the today's screen and after that pressing the panel button freezes the phone
And if you choose the new panel with TF3d... it says loading forever
SOmebody please help
I'm an idiot - I can't figure out where the "small hole" for the soft reset is located.
Can someone show me a picture?

hehe... I spent ages trying to figure this one out too...
here's an image I got on Google search..
to access the reset button .. you need to take off the battery cover, pull out your stylus (since that is obstructing the button) and then using the stylus 'poke' into the hole besides the battery.
I find this location - and the need to take off the battery cover - everytime you need to reset very VERY painful

Screen sensitivity after T-MO Rom update

I have been patiently waiting for the update that was made available yesterday afternoon so I downloaded and updated my phone. Since it resets everything I really didn't get around to doing much with it last night. This morning I started to get my phone setup and noticed the sensitivity seems to have worsened, sometimes considerably, over what I had before.
Scrolling has become less responsive, the X (close) button needs to be pressed a few times rather frequently, the buttons on the bottom row of the screen do not seem to respond very well either anymore, and lastly it just doesn't quite feel the same. Of all the problems I have been having with my HD2, screen sensitivity (accuracy could be a bit better) was not one of them until now.
Is there a way to calibrate the screen that I was not able to find on the phone? Anyone else notice any difference after updating?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I'm having the same issue but over all the new ROM is more stable.
Align
Start > Settings > All Settings > System > Scroll down to Align
Cheers
Also look for an App called TouchMark (think I found it on OMarket).
Neat little App that shows you exactly where you are touching the screen.
Maybe you have lost your touch
Also I use BsB to lower sensitivity of the screen which assists me greatly with typing.
Thanks for the tip but the "align" button is not in that folder on my phone. I searched and didn't find it anywhere else either.
After having a full day use with my phone the screen sensitivity is still a bit flaky, I would say it is worse than it was before I upgraded the rom. As for stableness, I have had several random data disconnects and small lags here and there that I didn't notice before. Unfortunately the audio lag has not been fixed. I should quit while I am ahead.
The summary is I want them to get the basic functionality of the phone to work and in doing so, please do not mess up the few things that are working, such as screen sensitivity. I am curious how long before the next rom update.
On a separate note, does anyone know where we can see a list of what they fixed in this rom?
Thanks!
Align?
Start > Settings > All Settings > System >"""screen""',, then align on mine hd2
??? are people on this thread a little confused??
going to the screen settings is NOT going to fix what the rom update did... the scrolling is considerably worse... not the accuracy...
for some reason, when i scroll through things.. its slow, laggy, and choppy.. its probably the most ridiculous "update" ever.. it simply made the phone worse... i wish i could go back to my previous rom.. before the official update.. i had absolutely NO problems with the scfreen sensitivty.. in fact.. i had no issues with it at all.. don't even know why i upgraded... pity...
and there is a fix thread floating around the TMobile HD2 forusm somewhere.. but that fix doesn't even get it remotely close to how it used to be.. now if someone could report exactly what the settings are on the stock TMoUS rom in the registry BEFORE updating to the official update.. it would help out enormously for the hackers who can fix what TMo has done to our phones...
people people dont fret!! just install HD2Tweak and look for the option that allows you to increase sensitivity and there ya go! there are 4 levels of sensitivity and i set mine to high and its perfect.
Iquigley- Unfortunately I do not have a "Screen" button in my system folder...
Just to clarify my original post in case it was confusing, although I believe accuracy could be better I did not notice a change in the accuracy of the screen, just a drop in sensitivity. Scrolling now has a tendency to stick and launch an app instead of actually scrolling. That doesn't seem to be happening as much now so I might have just adjusted to the new "feel" of the phone.
Can anyone confirm that it is just a setting that needs to be changed? At this point I avoid adding new apps to the phone if possible since I am afraid it will break something :s
Thanks!
The screen option in settings is hidden on the T-Mobile HTC HD2. You can make it visible in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen
Set the value of "Hide" to 0 (currently it is 1). Then the screen option will be visible in the system folder under all settings.
i went to do the registry change and cant find pen under control panel, is it under another sub folder?
Thanks Tobiascrystal. I am confused why they would have that hidden in the first place. I have been trying to avoid having to change registry settings but I might just be shooting myself in the foot by doing so. I will check it out.

Cursor and Dialog Box icons glitch faulty incorrect

Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone was updated to Android v7 and since then I noticed that the icons for the cursor in text boxes and system dialog boxes have got messed up.
I read on Android central, one user posted that uninstalling Kaspersky fixed the issue, although in my case I don't have Kaspersky, so I can't go about uninstalling all apps, got a hell lot of them!

1drv.ms/i/s!AigR1NGUKZ2stFRZcp6bHn6VE_JE
It's frustrating everytime i see this... Please help me...
I think I'm having a similar issue... the cursor locator (below the cursor which points to it) is the wrong size. I tried changing resolutions, nothing fixed it. This also happens when text is selected by long pressing, the selector graphics are too large and it gets cut off. It was working fine when phone was new, I cannot remember at which point it started messing up. Possibly after Oculus VR first changed the screen resolution to WQHD? I set it back to FHD for normal use, but problem persists.
Pertinent Info:

Maybe found a clue.... this problem seems to occur everywhere, except in a few apps, namely Signal and FB Messenger and FB itself. I thought it might be only in Gapps, but it happens in a few apps that are not part of Gapps. I have seen other people had issues with the little on/off sliders for options in different menu screens under setting, but mine all look fine.

I have those glitches as well apart from what i posted.
I read online its because of some app messing things up. I seriously don't want to reset and start testing this out one app at a time. It will take at least a few days to get back up to speed.
Thanks :crying:
