So I've installed jts stable kernal and I'm running gloss mod with slide animations. All is well however today I noticed that my phone no longer auto resizes text to fit my window when I double tap to zoom. Any thoughts? Is this as simple as clearing something?
Anyone? I believe its called text reflow?
Mine is doing this as well same kernel with blackhole rom. Only notice it on some web sites thou.

I changed my kernal and still the same story. So annoying having to scroll all over to see what's on my screen.
Not sure if this helps you but I have found on mine if I go to refresh it after the page has loaded it will then auto fit it. Kind of a pain but works for now. I can't remember when this started I just noticed it a day or two ago.

I have noticed this too. It seems that these have ad blocking built in, and this is on of the strange side effects that I noticed when I used to run ad free android. A bit annoying, especially because of the randomness of it.

Had this happen quite a few times.....sometimes when I click on the messaging app it opens up a random app that I have open in the background.....can't seem to fix it...occured on both launcher pro and adx or w/e the other launcher app is called....any solution?
This has been reported before. I remeber once, someone had set a swipe function accidentaly on their messaging app shortcut in the dock, and that was the culprit. I also remember this happening to people on touchwiz launcher, but it's never happened to me. If the swipe thing isnt the problem, the I would reccomend downloading an app such as Handcent sms, go sms, or chomp sms. Hope something in this post helps you.

Have you tried restarting? I know it sounds stupid but a lot of weird glitches can be solved by a simple reboot. If that doesn't help a cache/davlik wipe might.
Texted while driving
A restart does fix it....in fact an task manager end all works as well....just kinda annoying. If it happens again ill try a different SMS and see if I have better luck.
Normally this only happened on DI18, I never saw it happened after the 2.2 builds came out.

this is quite annoying, sometimes I have to hit the back hit hundreds of times, backing out of my entire history of the day at times. It happens with other apps too. But messaging is my most used one. I think it is related to holding home, and selecting the text app while in another app.
I've had this issue too... welcome to samdroid, the beautiful world where samsung has changed everything and broke it
Happens to me all the time to. Have to reboot. Only started after 2.2 never on 2.1. Wish someone could look into this as I know nothing about phone software. I did not use the ota to update I did a .exe update so it was clean.

I've experienced inside the messaging app, it'll sometimes open up somebody else's conversation. I believe it's just a glitch or my phone lagged at the time I pressed the screen. Good thing I notice it before I sent unnecessary texts. haha
Is there an official list of what has changed, been fixed and improved?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
- added an "auto enhance" feature to the camera. not sure what it does yet, looks like it boosts the contrast and saturation a tiny bit.
- added a quick settings menu to the drop down bar.
- added a "tell HTC" error reporting feature. looks much like windows error reporting. can be disabled in the settings>about phone menu.
- changed the way the app menu scrolls. now scrolls a page at a time instead of smooth. RSI inducing when you scroll fast, but easier to find stuff.
- screen looks better to me, not sure why though.
- camera quicker to focus in low light.
- gallery is faster
Im seeing a difference in camera quality for the worse.
Auto enhance seems like its a fith wheel as you can acheive the same or better quality through adjusting some of the settings.
Has the text message app been fixed?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Text message app seems to be working fine now.

also added:
new power control widgets. they look awesome! go to widgets> all htc widgets and scroll to about 50 out of 77.
I have also noticed the sound quality has improved on the video camera.. i can now actually hear things when playing back a video.. before i just got an awful low muffed sound. Anyone else noticed the improvement?.
The new scolling is a bit of a pain if you have alot of apps installed but if you change the view to list mode you can scroll down the list as before without the stopping and starting.
The speaker also seems a bit louder.
My texting has been fixed (was stuck on the buggy 1.74 for months!!)
My wifi is fine (although alot of people are reporting theirs has either got worse or no wifi connection at all)
Weather app now has sound on it
The phone seems alot more smoother too.
I'm running my HD on the stock rom and radio (unbranded on vodafone) with official update (2.36.405.8)
Not tested the GPS yet.. been raining here so i'LL wait till it clears up before giving it a whirl.
Battery on mine seems slightly better.
Improved the application management menus, seems to stop the running apps alot quicker than before.
Personally i'm loving this phone again.
In previous stock ROMs, pressing the search button on the home screen brought up the HTC Search application. Now, Google Search is used.
Not sure if this change was introduced with GB, or it was made earlier and I didn't notice, but... Gmail app now has copy/paste
However, still not possible to save attachments
Sound effects on weather widget, also clock and Facebook widget.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I noticed all the above plus better battery stats graph, and better manage apps menu. Also as stated about the Facebook widget/app they finally fixed it from before when you would load the app, click on something, and then back out, it used to make the thumbnail pictures disappear to a white box, but now they stay.
Can now enter title and middle name in People app....
And can paste number into the dialer - this is a particularly helpful addition for me.

One other change that I'm NOT liking, is the unread count dissapears from the sms and HTC Mail widget once you have gone into the app, even if you don't read anything and come out anything. No longer displays any count.

Google Search is used to search your phone. Just go into Menu->Search Settings->Searchable items.

Found also that with the HTC mail app, when I get Outlook meeting invites now I can see the proposed time and date etc before accepting. Sooooo needed was that as I had no idea if I could actually attend or not when clicking ok.
Can also see my Gmail IMAP account in the HTC mail app listed in accounts now whereas before the only way to get to its settings was through the mail app itself.
Don't use GMail itself due to the horrible interface. Never gotten on with it.
Found that if you want to move an icon too on a full screen you can - drag it over another icon and they swap places. Unsure if that's a new one but I remember on my Desire you had to remove an icon first to make room then re-add. Even Nokia had that one covered with crummy Symbian.
Compared to 1.72 also it doesn't crash, at all. The older version used to just reboot itself all the time, in my pocket, on the table - properly got on my t1ts. Made me regret going from 1.32 to that horrible ROM.
I've also found that videos I could not play before that I'd recorded now play. God knows what was going on there but the update seems to have sorted that.
App management is faster - gives you a list of what's installed almost straight away, icons and all whereas before it would sit there calculating for ages.
The volume is noticably louder too on ringtones and notifications. Again was much needed as it was so quiet before.
All in all I'm pleased - the only thing I've found is when the phone is fighting for signal it EATS the battery with dialer jumping right up in the usage stakes. I think it's a mobile data thing - turn that off or switch to GSM only and it's happy.
While recording the video you can zoom in or zoom out even during recording. Earlier this was not possible and you could only focus while recording.
Also after restarting the phone, the duration of being run on battery, in the Battery use does not reset, while earlier it used to reset with each phone switch off.
here are some highlights

Thats always been like that has it not? A little tip though, if you are search for an app then open the app drawer and then hit the search button so it specifically searches through your apps only.
So if you know whatever your looking for is only going to be in a certain area hit the search button after you get there. I don't know if that's new or not but i just found it and it is very helpful rather then searching the whole phone.
Ok I am having a weird issue with my new Atrix.
I am having icons of stuff I downloaded and added to the home screens disappear randomly.
Everything was fine all day, then I just went into my phone and noticed 4 icons on one screen were missing. The apps are still installed, just gone off the home screen. Not all of them on that screen dissappeared, just some of them.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what did you do to fix it?
I've had my widgets disappear but not shortcuts. This usually only happens after a crash and random reboot. I flash different roms alot though so don't know if this is a stock problem.

Which launcher do you use? It used to happen to me on Go launcher. If I exited it from setting it would restart fine. Hasn't happened in a long time though.

I'm actually just running the stock launcher the Atrix comes with.
I would love to have the stock GB launcher like what comes on the Nexus S. But I don't think you can just download that from the market.
Go launcher is way better, I suggest you try it. ADW and Launcher pro also have free versions which are much better than motoblur.
Ive had this happen as well. My snes emulator was missing. My phone actually uninstalled it. Hadto reinstall through titanium backup.

Ya mine is happening on the screen one right from center. I am curious, the next time it happens I am going to move them to another screen and see if it still does it.
It doesn't happen all the time, just every once in awhile, but annoying just the same.
Just curious but are you removing your sd card or have these apps on the external sd card?

ya for me it's the same 3 icons in the same place.
Today I moved all my stuff to a different home screen to see what would happen, and it still did the same thing.
I don't know if this is a GB issue or not. My Atrix already had GB on it when I got it.
I wonder if trying a different launcher would help. I was hoping to avoid using a different run cause I am fine with the stock launcher. I am not sure what launcher to try out. I used to use LauncherPro when I still had a Captivate cause I think TouchWiz looks like it was designed by a 10 year old. But LP seems a bit dated, hasn't been updated in awhile and it just too plain.
I was looking at Go Launcher, that seems like a popular one which offers alot.
Go Launcher used to do this to me all the time. figured out it was happening when the screen was being redrawn going from landscape to portrait mode. each time I would switch modes some icons would be gone and some would come back. theyve fixed this bug finally though in the last couple of versions...
I think when you update an app there's a chance it does this. Im sure there's more to the story but I am stock and its doing as you described but on the left screen from center

I had this problem and it happened fairly often on reboots/power on. Mine wouldnt even show in the app drawer. Tracked it down to apps that were either installed in the Media Area (internal sd card) or External sd card. It usually happened if i started messing with the phone before everything fully loaded. If i waited a little they would eventually show up, sometimes.
If the problem apps are in the Media try moving them back and see if it still happens. I had a lot of apps in Media and external so I ended up doing a back up and then reformatting internal/external storage, then restoring. I haven't had the problem since, but i did move to GB and custom rom about 2 weeks afterwards, so that could have helped also.
I had a similar issue after unlocking my phone and installing a custom kernel. Revert to a lower version of pudding (unlock sbf file) and restore original kernel if u have one

I have version 2.35, and I'm having this exact problem. I checked for an update, but it's the most current version. Anyone know if a new one is on the way?

this has happened to me as well.
I noticed that it would happen after certain apps would automatically update.
once the apps update, they're gone from my home screens.
then it drives me crazy trying to figure out what shortcuts were where.
completely stock Atrix.

Ok some news to report.
I exchanged my Atrix for another one, and set up a new Motoblur account when I first booted the new phone.
Now for some reason my icons are not disappearing. It's been a day so far and everything is fine.
I don't now if it was the new phone or the new Motoblur account which made the difference. I am thinking it might be the new phone though.
If it starts happening again I'll post another reply.

Strange as it sounds, when your screen goes grey in HC3.2, make sure that auto-rotate is enabled and just rotate the Xoom, which will force a re-draw of whatever "picker" window is open. This should give you a choice between two or more options. Pick one and you should be good to go.
Moto does not make the browser.
Aite ill give the auto rotate a try thanks. And to the other guy who responded with that smart ass remark aite like it matters ok google hc browser don't really care who made the browser you know what I meant. Did you help with developing the browser? Do I owe props or something?

First off I'd like to say I believe this is an extremely isolated issue, but I would appreciate any and all help.
I can't seem to get notifications working for snapchat. I've looked around before since I had the issue in CM10 with my note, but I've found nothing on the subject. I realize not many people here probably use snapshot, but the way it works is that when a snap is received, the screen turns on and a notification pops up in the notification bar. Since I flashed CM10.1 today I receive the snaps but my screen does not turn on and no notification appears.

I've noticed this has gotten quite a few views and I just want to post the solution. For whatever reason, if you use titanium backup to restore the app it will not be able to display notifications.
To fix it just reinstall the all through the play store.
