Superimposed Icons? help?...

So. I am runing DCD 3.0.1 rom with Telus - works great!!! and the ICS versus modem tethering gives me unlimited dats...blah blah blah, it's all good. However, somehow, and trust me I have retraced my steps, I managed to get the clock to display two line detail. The date on top and the time on bottom in the top task bar. HTC home also gives us a battery meter while on the today screen. Well it seems that on the today screen I have the time and battery icon trying to display at the same position on the bar. This causes an interesting white blob in my task bar. I would rather just have the battery meter, and get rid of the two line clock thing. I have tried to enable and disable the show clock in all programs option. But I cannot figure out how this two lined clock appeared and after endless searching I cannot find any settings anywhere that would help. If anyone has any ideas, or better yet has had the same problem, let me know. Id rather not have to hard reset.

Cursed battery icon

Hello *@*,
I think the battery icon in the taskbar of my Touch HD is possessed by a demon or something. :-|
It is spontaneously disappearing every now and then - pressing the home button always brings it back at once, though. Also doing anything else that updates the taskbar brings it back to life. The disappearance seems completely random.
I can even switch off the battery icon completely with Schaps Advanced Config and display the clock instead. Which is disappearing just the same way. All other icons are behaving normally.
And before anyone suggests a hard reset - guess what happend right after the hard reset I did today, when the HTC booted up for the first time and before I did anything a all?
Right.
Any ideas?

Hmm, can you take your phone to a church and see if it acts up there?
J/K, well my battery icon only shows in the home screen. In other screens, it is replaced with by the little clock. I think that is normal. But it sounds like your battery icon disappears even in the home screen?
Do you (or did you) have anything installed that changes the icons? If you installed the green battery icon cab, did you install the certificate included in that zip file before installing the battery icon cab?
It's weird, that even after a hard reset it would still do it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At this point, I am considering a bath in holy water.
The vanishing takes part on the homescreen, or rather all the touchflow screens. Installing different battery icons does not help. ArielBattery works, though. It seems to me as if the process responsible for drawing the taskbar icons is "forgetting" to update just the battery icon sometimes. I am quite sure this didn't happen when the phone was new - but a hard reset didn't help.

I had the same problem (I have color top bar icons and green battery icon), but a soft reset fixed it.
You can try uninstalling anything related to that.
Then Soft-reset.
After that, try installing the cabs I installed.
Soft-reset again and see if that works.
Note: Before installing the battery icon tab, make sure you install the sdkcertificate cab included or else you'll have problems with it.
I found all these cabs here in the forum, but I'll post them here for you in case you want to try. You can try just the battery cab (but first sdkcert cab) or also that try the color top bar cab to change the other icons as well.

use magicbutton, its freeware - its a great task switcher and has an optional great power indicator, which is a simple 1 pixel line across the top of the screen... so when its fully charged, you see a white line across the whole screen at the top. If its running low, its not as long and shrinks towards the left hand edge by the start menu.
Much easier to see at a glance than the power icon which appears and reappears at will sometimes!

mine does this i tihnk it is normal but i dont get a little clock it just disappears and nothing replaces it?

pls !! the warrantty will not cover any kind of water contact.. even holy !

Lost HTC Icon Image

For some reason the graphic for HTC People - HTC Calander and HTC Music have disappeared in the start menu and shows a blank white window with its blue border. Even though this isn't a major problem I've set a Quick Link from the home screen to music and showing that white window loses the eye candy. Also the slider icons are working fine so its not a problem there. I'm sure if I reset the ROM it will fix it but I was wondering if there was another way to do this instead of having to lose everything and start again...
Thanks in advance !!

I dont know a solution, but partly the same icon problem here; HTC People icon in white/blue, Calendar icon okay, Music icon not there.
So you're not alone Ashley

Just reinstalled the ROM and its all back to normal, guess we couldn't fine a workaround no worries though !

any fixes without reflash.

did you try Change Start Menu Icons?

New to hd2...a few questions

Just upgraded to an hd2, how did I live without this massive screen
I have been busy installing radios,roms and apps since I got it...but I cant find the answers to the following...any ideas;
1) Opera + Flash
I have Opera10 installed, I see people mention that you can enable it? How? Im using NRGs latest rom (Cookie Home Screen)...i prefer opera to skyfire...would it be easier going back to an older version?
2)
When moving the slider, the background is kinda blacked out a little...but the slider (bg) stays bright. I seen a mod that tints the slider but leaves the icons bright...now I cant find it again. Anybody know what Im talking about?
3)
I want to clear the bg of the taskbar (just icons left) so I can see more of my bg (Also so when it locks I dont have a black bar at the top)...but I want to leave the soft keys at the bottom black (im using win 6.5.x)
4)
Like I said in 1)...Im running NRGs rom...does the accelerometer not make sense landscape in all tabs?
Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

Thought i would bump this incase anybody could help

[solved] 2 side panels appears since Pie update

Hello,
Since PIE update I have an annoying problem.
2 side bars similar to edge sidebar (when its closed) appears on my screen (see screenshots).
Theese two bars don't have any actions and can't be swiped., but make little vibrate on swipe.
The main problem is the right sidebar is too close of the send button (messages/whatsapp & messenger) and make half of it don't react (and send message on click).
Here is my observations :
- it's shown over all elements (desktop, app list, all applications)
- it's not visible on lock screen
- it don't show up in Android safe mode
I've dig for hours, and try several methods without success :
- reboot (look stupid, but must be said )
- disable the real Edge sidebar
- disable Samsung Pay
- remove autorisations for ALL apps to overlay on other apps (screenshot)
- change default keyboard (with swiftkey & Gboard)
I've turn my display to night theme to highlight these sidebar, but they're still there in day mode.
I'm now out of idea... the fact it don't show up in safe mode would orient me to app issue. But due to overlay settings no apps are supposed to being able to do this (except secure folders that can't be disabled)... I have many apps it would be painful to remove /reinstall them...
Did anyone already faces similar issue?
Any idea on how to fix it, or where to dig for?
Thanks a lot in advance for your feedbacks, any help will be highly appreciated

I have the very same problem. By using instragram, I have noticed that I cannot click the like button when the like button is near the white bar. So I am thinking that the white bar shows where the edge of the display is disabled to block "unwanted" touch. I also find it very annoying. Help?

Resolved. Before the Pie update, I have installed here from XDA a package of various apps ported from Pie I think. I had to uninstall the one called something like "one hand +". Once uninstalled, the two bars got removed.

Ohhhh Thanks for your fix !!!!
I've dig around Good lock features yesterday, but forget this one.
Problem solved!
