Guys my wife just got Hero and I got evo. She changed her wallpaper on unlock screen and now instead of slider whole screen (wallpaper) comes down when trying to unlock the phone. I tried system restore ( she has 2.1 android ) and still same thing - how can I get i back to just moving slider not the whole wallpaper ?
plz help
I think the whole wallpaper is supposed to slide down.

just a slider - thats how it was before and thats how it is with my evo too
Look... Not to be rude or anything, but is this really that big of a deal? When I was ever on a sense rom, the wallpaper ALWAYS slid down. It really is NOT a big deal.
/rant
not to be rude but if it wasnt a big deal to me I wouldnt even post my question here.
I tried hard resets and still no luck
what is strange that I cant downgrade to diff ruu version so maybe rom image got damaged when upgraded to 2.1
If you run an ruu you're not supposed to be able to downgrade, that's why it's a challenge to gain root on new os versions.
I have never seen a sense lockscreen that didn't slide the wallpaper down with the lockbar
so it was like that out of the box until she used picture that she took from the phone and set it as wallpaper then all change and we arent able to get back.
Now my evo is the same - when power on the screen I have a wallpaper and lock bar and then i slide it down only bar moves and the wallpaper just changes to home screen

Not to be rude, but I think you're mistaken. I think you may be confusing your Evo's lock screen with what you think you saw on your wife's Hero's lock screen.
I have had the Hero since launch day, and the lock screen has always slid the entire wallpaper down. I have probably run 40 different ROMs, and this has always been the case.
I just watched an EVO video so I could see how that lock screen behaves. I can guarantee you that I have never seen my phone do that, nor have I seen my two coworkers Heros do that.
Haha, this is funny.
First off... calm down. Oh no, the wallpaper is sliding down! Major issue!
This isn't a major issue. It's more of a personal preference. Posting "MAJOR ISSUE" makes it look like a big problem, then seeing that it is just something you don't like... very deceptive and you just did it to get more attention. Not cool.
Second off, it has ALWAYS slid down. Maybe on a different lock screen it had a different behavior, but the Hero lock-screen (including wallpaper) slides down. It has always been like that. It will always be like that.

Does anyone else clock have a strange glitch where by, when you first turn the screen on and unlock it. The clock reads 62 mins slow then flips to the correct time immediately.
My friend pointed it out to me. I never noticed to be honest but he has a Hero and because it's quite a lot of a slower machine it is really noticeable.
Maybe it's just a 'feature' to make you realise that the clock numbers have a nice animated flip
Yeah I have it also. I assumed it was the HTC developers showing off their animations.
Nothing to worry I thought

Spot on. It's meant to be eye candy.
There is a way remove this feature: [MOD] Disable 01:02 clock flip in Manila 2.1 and 2.5
Hi,
I've been using my new HD2 for almost a week and I'm very happy with it. I've a little problem, however, that the special function of the side bar has disappeared. That is, when you press the side roll bar, it will become bigger and make you easier to control and roll the bar up/down. But this morning when i press the side bar, it doesn't enlarge itself, though i'm still able to roll it up and down. I really love to have it enlarged when pressed. Can you tell me how to make this function work again? Thanks.
noticed mine has disapeared too, i had to hard reset my phone for a different reason and it still hasnt come back. i`d really like it back too.

This function has expiry date?!
I haven't the slightest clue what your talking about. what is a side bar?

I think they're talking about scroll bars that get bigger when you put your thumb/finger on them.
Guys - what applications are they not working in? Do they work, for example, in file explorer?

its not present in any applications, its like it was an app itself and somehow been deleted. like i said i`v hard reset a couple of times for various reasons but been missing that scroll bar icon for a while now. to me its not the end of the world but it can be a bit fiddly at times.
You know what? This is totally strange!
Reading this post I said to myself: let's check. Stupor, the magnifying part of the scroll bar is gone, vanished!
I wonder if the guys from HTC are aware of that…
Well mine still works. Have you guys been adding any theme mods?
Maybe you folks changed the theme?
The biggie smalls scrollbars only work on the default HTC Black theme, if you select one of the WM6.5 designer themes or download your own the magic scrollbars will be turned off.

You're right! I changed back from Rock and Republic black theme to HTC Black and is working.
maybe it can be done a port of it on the other themes.

Maybe, that would be nice.
The thing that's stopped me from getting new themes for the HD2 is exactly the loss of those scrollbars.
is it me or is there no way to have the lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper different like you could on the hero???
I was wondering the same thing......I dont think there is way to do it in the stock rom....
that sucks they a stupid move on htc part i hope i the devs can restore this issue in the custom roms
i dont mind it looks sleek
I don't mind it. It looks visually better this way (the lock slides... the screen stays in place). With the Hero, the entire lock/background moved.
I just installed "No Lock" from the market which disables the lock screen completely. It's great on the EVO, because now I can use the volume buttons to turn on my phone and not have to slide an unlock screen to access anything. That power button is sometimes tricky to reach with this massive size phone .
I believe thus was done for live wallpaper as they now work in lockscreen and password screen.
I like the feature

Since we're on the subject of lockscreens, is there anyway I can customize the lockscreen? It would be pretty nice if I could add widgets or something useful on there.
OK semi stupid question about Android roms. Is there one where you don't have to slide down to answer calls? I keep the phone in my pocket when it rings, I go to answer it most of the time it answers itself. Don't know if there one that has slide left to right like the Iphone or others.
CM7 roms slide left to right to answer, I think it's only Sense and MIUI that slide down to answer, but I could be wrong. But I know that CM7 has the sliding tabs to answer/reject like on the lockscreen.
the easiest way to go about this would be to download a lockscreen app from the market. there is a really great app called lock 2.0 which will allow you to do what you want. also you can add custom sounds if you like. there is also 1 called lockbot pro (what im using now) which has many different lockscreen styles like iphone, hero, eclair, froyo, x10 & galaxy. you can create many different lockscreens by changing the background around and a setting that will go through your default lockscreens you choose so you get a different lockscreen each time..i find it pretty cool. there is a free version as well but not as many features. hope this helps out.

but as far as I can remember, these apps don't change the incoming call screen, which is the real benefit of horizontal slide
i had to re-read that because i wasn't sure what you was talking about at 1st. your 100% right though, i must of missed the part about incoming calls the 1st time i read it.

Simple, Just get a protective case for it or sleeve or something. The screen is capacitive so only responses to touch from your fingers (not pressure but touch) so aslong as there is something covering screen it wont unlock.

as stated earlier CM7 slide left and right, but if you dont want to use CM7 and like the rom your on, get go launcher[FREE], launcher pro, ADW launcher ... i think each has a different answer button
If there is A rom that u like u can use this application to get rid of the slidedown to answer (EZanswer) http://www.4shared.com/file/MhGQjhuO/EZanswer_1400.htm tell me about the result

I'm not sure about your phone, but mine is so responsive that it feels my finger through the protective cover I always demonstrate this to my friends by unlocking my device (whether vertically in android or horizontally in WinMo) through the cover
that's why it's a problem, we either need a horizontal answer app (easy) or get a thicker cover, which makes a barely-pocketable phone impossible to fit in pockets, unless you're one of those who wear baggy pants with huge pockets.
use the pattern unlock screen Miui has loads if different lock screens

When I turn the screen on, sometimes but not all the time, the screen turns on but the text at the bottom where it says swipe to unlock and Verizon wireless is not present and the screen is unresponsive but after a few seconds it appears and I can then unlock my device. I feel like I just keep having issues haha.
Happens on mine as well, but only for a second or so it seems. I tried turning the watercolor effect off to none but it still did it, I think its just the crappy samsung lockscreen wish I could get the stock AOSP one on there.

haha me too man it's probably because i'm so used to my rooted Note 2 where I fixed all these laggy issues. Damn Samsung needs to polish touchwiz badly. Thanks for responding again btw.
Happens to me too! very annoying because i have to swipe to unlock twice
I do use dashclock on my lockscreen
Well I ended up freezing the stock samsung clock with Titanium and taking the stock clock from 4.3 off my Galaxy Nexus and putting it in system/app and changed the permissions to match, its a little smaller I think because of the high resolution but it doesn't seem to lag out like the stock one did better than it was
Touchwiz is composed of lag. Every time I turn on or off my screen I am reminded. It helps if you are constantly using the task manager and clearing ram while closing apps but this should not be a necessity for the OS to run smoothly.
I may just have to become a de-hack-loper to get this unlocked bootloader going however even then knox is watching us.

FYI that clock is chronus in the play store for people that arent rooted
Chronus looks much better perfect size. Now if only I could get the cyanogen lock and shortcuts close enough
