Recently, when using the HTC Music Tab in landscape mode, I've been unable to scroll through the track listings on the left-hand side without the screen moving on to another adjacent tab application (such as Photos or Weather). The tracks scroll ok if I keep my finger on them, but when I release, if it has gone over the top or bottom edge, the tab switches, just as if I'd horizontally swiped in portrait mode.
I am running HTC HD2 with Sense 2.5 and ROM 3.14. I have a few other things installed including Cookie's Home Tabs, none of which have ever caused a problem, and I do not believe them to be responsible for this error, but who knows?
Has anyone else experienced anything similar, or is able to suggest a cause?
***Update*** I just now created a single playlist, and the landscape-mode problem stopped. I deleted the playlist, and the problem came back. This looks like a bug in HTC Sense 2.5 to me. Any takers?

I recently upgraded my mogul to the latest stock ROM and was excited to use the large start menu feature introduced into the WM 6.1 update.
My problem is that when in landscape mode with the large start menu enabled, if you press the start menu a couple of times from the home screen, parts of the start menu stay on the home screen as artifacts and can only be removed by starting a program or something that uses the whole screen.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is is maybe related to the HTC Home Plugin and not the WM 6.1? When I turn off the HTC Home Plugin from the today screen, the issue still exists.
Thanks!
I was able to reproduce the problem and attached screenshots of the problem to this message...
It seems that the artifacts only appear on the far right side of the screen, it looks like it is starting at pixel #241 or so... so maybe HTC isn't calling InvalidateRect properly in Landscape mode or something along those lines
BINGO! Nice work! You have just proved that i'm not going crazy!
Thanks for the confirmation. Don't know exactly what we can do about it though. Any ideas from the developers out there?
Thanks!
Anyone having the problem of not able to move to different sites of a zoomed picture in the album??
Meaning when i zoom in and i wan to look at other areas of the picture that is out of range of my screen, i cant "click n drag" to move to another site.
Also for the default music tab for tf3d under "all songs", i cannot tab on my screen and scroll down to see other songs. It kept getting stuck at the first few songs.
What ROM are you using (and is it stock)? when you try to do 'click and drag,' are you clicking and holding down on the screen? In order to pan elsewhere you must press and hold your finger to the screen until a rectangle appears in the upper left corner with another rectangle in it.
As for the TF3D music problem, never seen that, sorry.
OH!! So thats how u use the photo viewer! haha thx alot dude! But the music player problem remain unsolved. zzz. Im using htc's rom and not any 3rd party rom btw.
I haven't seen/heard of your TF3D music player error....but are you sure you're in All music and not playlist?
yeah im sure im in the playlist. Im tinking it might be a corruption from software installation. But so many wont know is which caused it.

I got that problem too. Scrolling on "all songs" tab is broken, I can only see the first eight tracks. 766 tracks total, official ROM 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE. Soft reset doesn't help. I didn't try hard reset.
i think i have found a bug in the music player
after a soft reset or first initialisation the following is available
in portrait mode you can scroll through the demo songs by album artwork vertically and play tracks till your hearts content BUT pause the track and go to landscape mode then click on an album cover and select the track on the left then go back to portrait and all you get is the one cover playing the selected track (you still with me ?)
now pause that track and you have lost the vertical scrolling mode until you do a soft or hard reset.
anyone else have this bug ???
If I understood you correctly, I don't think that's a bug.
The vertical and horizontal browsing modes are different.
Vertical (portrait) mode skips between the tracks that are currently in the 'now playing' list. If it contains tracks from multiple albums, you'll see the different covers of the tracks that are coming up.
Horizontal (landscape) mode flips between all the albums in your library. If you tap on an album, you see the tracks it contains; if you click one of those tracks, it starts playing. Your 'now playing' list then loads all the tracks of that one album and nothing more. Therefore, returning to portrait mode, you'll only be able to flip through the tracks of that one album.
Since the demo music typically has only one track per album, your 'now playing' list will consist of only one song. That's why vertical 'scrolling' seems to stop working: you can't scroll through a list that has only one item.
To put it simply: vertical 'scrolling' is like pushing the 'next' or 'previous track' button on your remote; horizontal 'scrolling' is like going through your cd collection to find something else to listen to.
your answer seems logical
however every demo i have seen has showed the vertical scrolling of albums,
i was kinda hoping i was doing something daft as i quite like the vertical scrolling of album covers.
ohh well if its not a feature i have wasted some time uninstalling programs and resetting registry keys back to standard that i had altered, thinking one of these may have caused it in the first place ( DOH !)
ok will start again in earnest setting the device the way i like it
Well... if you load all your music into the 'now playing' list, you can kinda flip through albums track by track. Especially if each album has only one track like those sample songs. Just open your library, slide to the 'tracks' tab and tap on any song.
I got a HD2 yesterday and found the same thing with the music area in HTC Sense in vertical mode and thought it might be a bug but this does make sense and works exactly as explained
My music still stops playing after a 30 seconds or so though and I have no idea why
Hello,
When I open Library from MUSIC WMP in HTC HD2 I see a list of songs. On the left side there is a vertical scroll-bar. Well.. it doesn't respond to slide/press events. It is visible but doesn't work for me. I must add that this vertical scroll bar - works fine in File Explorer, but not in WMP Library.
Does anyone have the same problem ?
I wrote to HTC Support and they suggested to do a HARD-Reset, but I doubt that it will help, because I've changed my ROM from 1.43 to 1.48 and this problem still persists.

Hey guys.. are you just lazy or what?
It will take you 5 seconds to check and answer...
I've had a look at the Library in WMP and can't find any scroll bar on the Left hand side, on my device its on the right. It also works perfectly for me.
Even if the scroll bar doesn't work however, you can still scroll through a list by sweeping your finger up or down on the middle of the screen to scroll.
It's unusual a software problem would translate from one ROM to another unless its language specific? Are you using WWE or one of the other language roms? If it isn't software, it could be hardware. Does that left part of your screen work OK with other apps in general? If not the sensors on the screen would be faulty and you could get a replacement.

RE: that post ^. You really need to be patient, people generally won't help people who demand an answer, we don't work for HTC here

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Yeah I'm demanding because other people might be interested in this too, I don't know maybe it's not only my problem.
The Fact is: Scroll bar works in File Explorer and every other application.
In MUSIC Library it doesn't work, but it's visible and when I'm sweeping list by fingers that scroll also moves, but it doesn't respond to finger press/slide or etc. It doesn't work only in my Music Library. Oh my mistake it's on the Right side, yes. Does it work for you in Music Library ?

Now imagine that I have more then 1000 songs in my library... How many times will I sweep by finger in the middle of the screen ? Not convenient. And also I think if it's visible - then it should work. I can't relax if something is not working in my device
Wondering if anyone else have a problem with the control of HTC Sense 2.5
Sliding from one tab to another is still pretty difficult for me (no I don't have motoric problems ) Sliding from the home tab to, say, the sixth tab on the right is not as easy as it seems. I can't point to the tab (which is the case for the first five tabs) but I have to scroll my way through a series of passing icons. Somehow this doesn't work for me.
Because I hated this the first time I lay my hands on the HD2 I got used to hiding all but 5 tabs so I can easily jump from one tab to another by just tapping the tab-icon. Now, because the amount of tabs is growing with every new rom, I thought I have to learn to swipe my way throught the tabs.
My question is, are there experienced users who are fluently in this. Can it be learned If so, do you have some tips and tricks.
