Hmm i haven't even remotely seen a slow down in rotation but i have seen a minor slow down when i'm running core player. It seems like the graphics GPU is being overwhelmed cause it takes a while to render icons.

mine did too, but thats with all windows mobile phone i believe, ummm also does anyone know how i can change the screen to always have it landscape, regardless if the qwerty is slide out or hidden?
thanks in advance

check your task manager and see how many applications are running in the background, close off those that you don't immediately need. They all take up RAM and CPU that can cause slow downs.

Power control widget turned my screen off permanently.

what should i do? haha

Holy sh##, I wonder if thats what happened to mine then.... I had it for 3 hours, installed extended controls on it, turned the brightness all the way down and it died. Battery pull would get me the samsung screen but it would stop after the galaxy animation. I did a factory reset, still did it.
Is that about the same?
I figured that I just had a bad unit so I took it back to the store.
Edit. Just did a little research and we are not the only two this has happened to...not seeing a fix though...

If you have cwm installed or debug enabled you should just adb to your device and delete the offending widget app.

man, that sucks.

Happened to me too... If only we had the notification brightness slider the vibrant has. I had to take miner back too... Didn't know of cwm and I was smart enough to turn debugging mode off so no adb for me.

It persisted after a factory reset on mine. Offending app was all gone... Will be interesting to see if the op can get his working by doing that. Personally I just thought I had a bad phone.

thanks for the help guys put i adb pulled and it solved my problem ... i was freaking for a second

Awesome. Wonder why my factory reset didn't fix mine... Weird.
Bigger question... What do the application developers need to change too keep this from happening?

well the truth in my case is i downloaded a version off mediafire to see if i liked it before i donated and the thing was the version i downloaded had an error that to this day has been corrected. so if i wouldve just been legit from the beginning it wouldnt of happened

I always keep adb on after this lesson...

Extended trial eh? looked at extended controls change log, none on theirs yet. Guess I'll try power widget instead.

I was a victim of this as well with the extended controls widget. I emailed them and they didn't seem overly concerned, though to be fair there is a language barrier. I would have expected profuse apologies and a refund, at the very least.

I use the one called "Backlight!" but when I installed and saw the default value levels of 0,50,150,255 and saw a zero that instantly threw up a red flag. Before using widget I just edited the custom brightness levels to 34,65,103 which translates to 13%,25%,45%. Are there other devices where you could assign the toggle to a hard button? That's the only way I can see having a 0 default level on a device.
good day.

I submitted a ticket to the extended controls group and they just updated it after fixing the issue... Said it is now fixed and will be in the next release.

this has been posted in the forum, the phone still works, the display is just completely blacked out. 0% apparently meant different for the Samsung Fascinate phones than other Android phones. Power Control widget had updated their log a few days ago saying this was resolved in the last update here:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/power-control-plus-(widget)/com.siriusapplications.eclairwidgets

good thing the brand new version that i tried to pay for still blacked out my screen

Thank God I found this thread! Same here!! Power Strip. Was so depressed when I noticed I couldnt wake my screen back up after boot and locking it! Phew.... AWESOME PHONE!

Yea this happened to me as well and I didn't have de bugging on to use adb. Took it to the store they were like "we have never seem this happen before...sorry sure have this new one!" LoL
Sent from my rooted 1.2 voodoo Fascinate

Mine did it from a Ringer Profile app. I was trying to get my Fascinate to act more like a Blackberry in regards to notifications and such. All seemed well until I re3booted the phone. I went through 2 phones from this. The app did have functions for setting screen brightness for different profiles. Since I got that one solved, the phone's been great!

HTC HD mini-clock problem

When clocks turn back the time I got back to the hurt I am going to swallow the clock forward 1hr automatic as some newly self forward is going to hurt a certain time

Guess it would be easier to give advice if we could understand what the **** you were saying!
Have you tried the gibberish forum?? lmao

)))))))))))))

lol, even though i dont know Chinese... it would probably be more easy to read if he wrote it in Chinese instead of using a translater

Time Change
His problem is the change to the Wintertime. Since them the clock always is one hour later.
I have the same problem and no solution .
I would like to stop the automatic time change.
found a Solution here.

Well they're slightly different because of the HTC Sense and the Windows version, but in the Mini the steps are:
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".

I have an issue with the clock as well... Ai just got the phone yesterday.
Actually, during the day at the office, the time changes several time by one hour forward... so suddenly after the time was OK in the morning, around 5 PM it showed 11 PM. What do I need to change so the time stays the same? (in the night it went back by one hour, so the alarm woke me up one hour earlier than it should have...wrrr ;-)

BSB tweaks
I am using BSB tweaks, there is option Auto sync clock - just switch off this parameter, it working perfectly. Milan

Actually, when I am at home and have athe autosync on, the time does not change. As soon as I am moving around, the time changes (even though the auto sync is off then). It seems that it changes when the network changes while moving around. When travelling in roaming this weeknd, the time moved forward by 26 hours in just one hour while travelling in a bus.

Thanks, but that's the same solution posted above. What we are trying to fix now is how can we have the time sync activated
bagalk, mine hasn't gone that far, but is definitely a nice bug from HTC. I wonder it the clock will work properly when they change the time again in March or April

solution
As a colleague was having the same problem I looked around for a solution. Having found nothing that appeared to work I looked to the HD2 which runs a similar software setup. This is what I found (I can't post the URL so must simply copy & paste from the original page)
Hey kids
This was irritating me too, I assumed it was not a phone issue but, I contacted HTC yesterday & their reply is as follows, there are 2 steps to perform. I did this last night & so far the phone has been perfect:

Dear Stuart
This is not a fault with the device or its software, your device updates its time automatically from the Internet and from your mobile provider.
Occasionally there is a difference in the time from the Internet and the time from your provider which can cause the time to appear to be changing when it should be the same.
Normally this will resolve itself within a few days, however, this is very inconvenient so we recommend to disable any automatic time updates on your device.
This will not effect your sync with other things like Exchange and similar
From the Home screen tap:
Start - Settings - Data services - Time synchronization - Untick all here.
AND
Start - Settings - Menu - All settings - Personal/Private - Phone - GSM & UMTS Services - Time synchronization - Get settings - Untick all here.
Sincerely,
Adrian

This appears to work and the source of the problem (conflict) would appear to be clear as you work through the solution HTC have provided. Hope it works for everyone here and thanks to the original poster.

who is experiencing a major touchwiz home issue after lollipop ?

Hello xda !
I have recently updated my s4 gt-i9505 to android lollipop 5.0.1. Now, i am, like many others experiencing a touchwiz home issue. It will just crash when trying to place or move an icon on the home screen.
Booting in safe mode, clearing the system cache and erasing touchwiz home's data don't fix the issue. So i think/hope it is related too our device's settings/ disabled apps/ installed apps.
Has anyone managed to get rid of this issue or could people experiencing the same issue post a list of their installed and disabled apps ? I have attached my app list to this post.
Thank you,
Inse

Didnt disable anything not a single crash!

Let me try that

Working fine here other than a few wee niggles.
SPlanner stops occasionally and I have to reload the widget on the homescreen and on a couple of occasions I've not received a notification tone when I've had a text but it's still vibrated and still had the notification message but that's only happened 3 times in the last few weeks.
I've used Titanium to freeze quite a few apps, such as the Samsung bloat-ware and most of the Google play apps.
Overall I'm happy with lollipop.

Chrome redraw and keyboard redraw many times home screen back to stock wallpaper once in 2 days auto restart..

Thank you for the info, I "undisabled" all my apps and did a restart, but that did not fix it.
Are there any others trying to fix or managed to fix this issue ?
Sorry, didn't see your posts earlier, i have not received a notification email. Thanks for the info all

Yeah, it is a really bad update, some people mention that a factory reset doesn't fix it, some say it does... I do still think the problem is samsung related and that they will have to fix it.

Today I called customer service people they saying the fix is coming soon but compete stable rom will take at least 2 months

"Unlock the speed"

Hello everyone
I have this weird issue since i upgraded to the 9.0.12 OTA update : whenever i want to unlock the phone it shows me my homescreen wallpaper first for like 0.5 sec then show me my lockscreen.
It's really annoying when you unlock your phone a lot during the day, i had not such issue before, i have the OP6T 8GB version
I took a video to show you the issue but i can't post it because i just created my account
I was wondering if any of you got the same issue or managed to fix it ?
Thanks !
