[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
Same issue here, mostly comming up on the google search widget and the getting started button, restarting the theme solves this for a while.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
If it moves with the widget, it's likely to be a software issue :)
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
This happens with a lot of widgets which cannot stretch or scale properly to the qHD screen.

The fact that the lines move around with the widget and then disappear when the widget is removed clarifies this.

Obviously one of HTC's own widgets is unable to cope too.

Might also be related to Sense 3.0. Have you tried the same widgets with a different launcher?
[HTC Sensation] gringooo:
I havent try with the different launcher, because I cant force those lines to appear again. It only happened twice. Winamp widget works perfectly for now.
[HTC Sensation] castor.troy:
I have the same issue, with AudioGuru's widget. When i removed the widget the lines are gone!!!!
[HTC Sensation] Zheiko:
Clearly, this + the lads arround, this is a SW issue only, not optimised widget for such a big difference... more the qHD displays will be on sale, the faster we get updates... Also, maybe Google will release some update on Android 2.3.5 maybe that might fix most of the problems with the screen
[HTC Sensation] tombaker1:
I have to agree with the Software camp on this (though initially I thought for sure it was hardware)

When I look closely at the pic you have the lines start inside of the screen and end inside of the screen with a border of clean pixels before the edge of the screen. (Line is framed inside of screen) If the line went all the way across I would be still be thinking hardware.
[HTC Sensation] gringooo:
If the problem is that the software is not optimized with qHD, then I guess I have nothing to worry about.

Thank you all for your answers.
[HTC Sensation] override182:
U was shocked to see my screen is damaged but when i swiped to another page, gone. Tried moving the widget and the lines move too. So yes, its the widgets. On mine, its tweetdeck bar
[HTC Sensation] nootherusername:
I have only seen this on non htc widgets.. when your switching slowly..
[HTC Sensation] knux11:
this happened to me with the amazon mp3 widget, and i had 2 other widgets on the same page. it went away and never came back. that's the only "issue" i've had with this phone.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
same thing happened to me with blue facebook app. i restarted phone, hasn't come back since.
[HTC Sensation] laidbackfreak:
Yep I've had the same issues, figured it was software issue due to the way it was working.

I did soft reset that clears it for while anyways.
[HTC Sensation] KiaOrana:
Same problem here.

A way to fix them all without any reset or removing the widgets is to go into your app settings and restart the Sense app.

It will restart rosie and fixes all the widgets with lines.

Very annoying tho
[HTC Sensation] Zheiko:
Exactly!:cool::)
[HTC Sensation] gringooo:
Here is the video, how the line (this time only one line) is moving with the widget.

This one appeared after I played few 3D games.

[HTC Sensation] Fire Mars:
I had this once with the official twitter widget, but it was gone in a sec. Very weird..
[HTC Sensation] davidguate:
It's happen to me too, with the Facebook widget and with the phone weaver widget too. It's not all the time but some times it does happen .

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] gringooo:
Here is another strange thing that happened. This time with the lock screen. It disappeared after a while.

I am getting worried about how many bugs Sensation seems to has.
[HTC Sensation] Zheiko:
Well, technically its first revision of this phone, second revision will have all these bugs fixed, I believe... So I hope that on 24. When I will be ordering the phone, I'll be lucky and it might be newer version... But still expect the worse option, in which case I'll be keeping my desire, in case that I need to get the new sensation fixed... As I am saying, the first revisions are always carrying child's issues, which will be resolved later on... Speaking of which, some phones doesnt, such as my pvt1 desire, which has no issues at all
[HTC Sensation] gringooo:
Yes, Desire was without issues. I just switched Desire for Sensation, and maybe this is the reason why I cant used to that, that you have a new phone with some "issues".
[HTC Sensation] messer19:
I noticed it today, after I added PowerAmp widget. This line appeared only on this widget several times.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I have noticed this as well. Is it only non 'Sense' widgets? Like Facebook and stock android widgets? I've seen it on the android power widget, YouTube widget, and Facebook.
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
Add me to the list of effected smh
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
+1

Only 1 time happen.

it happen during morning time when my sensation clock alarm wake me up and then I check my phone and found the screen already become like that.

I have take out the battery due to can not unlock the phone while my alarm keep ringing!!:mad::mad:
[HTC Sensation] gringooo:
You dont have to remove your battery. Try just to unlock screen, like you would do when screen looks normal (pull the ring from the bottom of the screen, even when the ring is not there).
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Thanks for the tip.

I will try it next time if happen (bug). Which I wish not!! :mad:
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
I've seen this also a few times. Seems to only affect non stock Sense widgets. I've only noticed it after I was playing a game. I've only been able to clear it with a reboot.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
I clear it by deleting the widget. And just adding it back. No need for a reboot.
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
i have been doing the same, but it gets hella annoying clearing the widgets and putting them back... shouldnt be something we have to do
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Its only happen to me twice. So its not that big of a deal.
[HTC Sensation] drew_grant:
Happened to me too. None of the issues were with any system Widgets so I'm certain it has to do with the qHD screen. Good to see I'm not the only one with that issue.
[HTC Sensation] paulswift36:
I've had this ALL the time with the 3G Watchdog widget. I've also had it with the HTC News widget. I found force stopping HTC Sense fixed it for me or a phone reboot AFTER adding the widgets you wont. This strikes me as a software issue, where either sense or the widget aren't communicating about the screen resolution when you first drop a widget on. Restarting the phone seems to re-initialise or resend the right info. and then it works correctly. Not great but I'd expect this to be fixed soon too...if HTC ever get around to fixing any of the issues with this phone, or delivering on the unlocked bootloader they promised

One this to try, when you start getting these lines, go to Apps and try scrolling...is it really really slow and jerky? Mine was until I restarted sense. May be unrelated but its a screen/UI issue and for dual 1.2 ghz processors pretty poor.

I've tried a couple of alternative launchers on here (ADW and Go) and they were like lightning compared to Sense. As soon as this is rooted I'm off Sense for good. This just shows how bloated its become. Microsoft all over again?
[HTC Sensation] dbirdflyshi:
I was afflicted with this plague on the slacker radio app. Had it on each page and all of them did it. It dissapeared sometimes but when i went back to the specific page the widget was on it came back..

It went away after i deleted the widget and reapplied it to the page.
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
I've had it happen a few times. A reboot fixes the problem I've also noticed that some apps aren't configured properly. For example, adao file manager only uses 2/3rds of the screen. It may have something to do with the configuration.
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
Same here. I bought mine 4 days ago and the only issues I've had were the sound cutting out and this problem with one of my widgets (system monitor). Deleting it and reinstalling it fixed the widget and the sound came back after I made a phone call. I restarted the phone just to be safe, but it's running great now.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Just happened to me on 2 widgets. Power control and Soundhound. It happened right after I finished playing angry birds for 5 minutes.
[HTC Sensation] kia1349:
i had this issue.last week , i report it to htc.before they answer to me , i remove 3d party widget and google search box widget and then add these.issue went.

htc answer to me this way.

sorry for bad eng
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
i had this when i opened a folder. i happened only once and disappeared when i closed it. software i supposed
[HTC Sensation] ave14:
same glith

The problem has happened to me every day. The fast reboot app which just closes and restarts everything including sense helped. I hope that update leaked has something to do with resolving this. It happens with every widget I use unless it's a Sense widget.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I had this happen with stock widgets. I turned off fast boot and power cycled and it went away. Hasnt happened yet on my 2nd phone.
[HTC Sensation] Louer Adun:
How confident are you guys that this is really a software issue? I just had the same problem with some of my widgets... Interestingly enough right after playing a game (stressing the video hardware) just like most of the other people reporting here.

I had just finished playing Samurai II: Vengeance which was running great until I started seeing polygon artifacts. I wasn't able to get a screenshot but for those of you who haven't seen the artifact before, here's at the same problem on a PC playing Counter Strike. http://www.playtool.com/pages/artifacts/de_dust20002.jpg

I've seen this on PC video boards plenty of times. It is almost always an indicator of bad video memory usually due to overheating. It is way too big of a coincidence that others are experiencing this after stressing the graphical processor.

I sure hope a software patch will fix this but I'm not hopeful. Hopefully 2.3.4 will run cooler.
[HTC Sensation] JohannFaust:
I got a Sensation shortly after it got out. The device was manufactured on 05/27, with an AUO screen. It started suffering from the issue on the third day, with Google calendar and Voice widgets. Since it was before other people shared their experiences, I went back to the store, and got a replacement, manufactured on 06/03 with a Sharp screen.

Well, I am a bit OCDed, I reconstructed the icon/widget layout exactly as it was on the first phone. And haven't had a single instance of the issue ever since.

On the one hand I agree with the prevailing opinion that we are facing a S/W issue, but on the other, there is something peculiar about my experience.
[HTC Sensation] Louer Adun:
Just wanted to note that I do have a Sharp screen on my device, so the problem is occurring on both types of screens.
[HTC Sensation] get faster:
i had the same problem few days ago
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Has anyone else noticed that a lot of the apps only show on the top half of the screen? Slickdeals is one of them for example if anyone wants to see it for themselves that hasn't already.
[HTC Sensation] antdizzo:
This happens to me some times when my screen starts to dim and I touch it to make it bright again. Not all the time though, and I also noticed that happen on my n1 (cm7) a couple times. I think it's probably a hardware issue.
[HTC Sensation] zukа:
This is what we in the HD2 community call "Graphical Glitches". These horizontal lines appear on a lot of animations in the HD2 Gingerbread builds. There, it's because of an incomplete kernel and graphics library I believe.

Nooo idea why this is happening on the Sensation though. Maybe they should have held off on releasing this phone until it was ready for prime time, this forum is filled with bugs
[HTC Sensation] Sergio76:
Bravo :D:D

all they have to do is fix the adreno libs they are buggy. HTC wake up. The issues on Sensation are a shame to HTC the only device from HTC that im disappointed till now. Desire HD bits the s**t out of sensation (till we remain in stock and have more then 20 issues on this phone).
[HTC Sensation] Scrupix:
Same problem here, it happens with 3rd party apps and also with with stock apps like google search or tips widgets (it's random) :(

I hope﻿ that it will be fixed soon.
[HTC Sensation] richardneville:
Yup

Me too. It happens a lot, even with standard pre-installed HTC widgets (like Google search, and power management).

I'm pretty sure it's software, since the lines are exactly the width of the affected widget, not the screen, and they travel with the widget (e.g. scroll off screen when you pan left or right).

Are HTC likely to release a fix for this? I'm new to Android... I don't know if they release OS updates to fix graphic management problems like these.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
As said before it's to do with the widgets not being completely compatible with qHD - we just have to wait on Google/other Devs to catch up and it'll all be fine (Google Search isn't an HTC widget)

I have no issues whatsoever with the HTC widgets
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Happens to the HTC Notes widget.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Chances are they've not updated that then. I remove almost all widgets from my ROM before flashing so never have any issues (I only use 3 home screens)
[HTC Sensation] idanfima:
I belive, and thats my opinion only.

That this problems come from HW and not SW.

I saw problems like that with several devices (not only the Sensation) that came because of problem with the stability of the power supply battery and charger.

Most of the times chargers make this, does it happen when the phone is plugged in?
[HTC Sensation] richardneville:
I doubt if it's hardware, just because the lines don't stay on screen if you navigate away from the affected widgets.

I'd like to know for sure though! Or even better, get a fix for the problem.

By the way, this only seems to affect widgets which are one unit tall and four units wide. Not sure if that's the same for other users?
[HTC Sensation] Jur1nator:
sorry for not finding it via search.. but how can i only get 3 homescreens in sense.. or maybe 5? :)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I meant I only use 3 of the 7 - I still have 7
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
Has anyone gotten the new OTA upgrade and continued to see this issue? I have had the issue, but, haven't seem it again yet (knock wood) since I got the OTA update.

Maybe wishful thinking.....
[HTC Sensation] richardneville:
That sounds good!

How do I get the OTA update? I'm on T-Mobile / Orange in the UK. Will it just turn up as an automatic update when my carrier rolls it out?
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
The OTA update just showed up for me. I'm T-Mo in the US.

I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure that it fixes the problem. I just wondered what other people's experiences have been since the update.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Yes. I'm still waiting for it to come to unbranded sensations...

This is the case I got from the Best Buy in Union Square NY

belkin.com/uk/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=544839

It's pretty good and nice and slim.

Provides protection but not bulky.

I'll post some pictures of it tonight.

I just bought this case. I like the way the tab connects into it. It will be here after I receive my tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Nimche:
That is pre-order right?I wished I could go to store and buy one right now before my tablet get scratched up...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] maguin4:
I saw the the Samsung reps with those.

They're pretty sweet.

They said they'd be in stock at Best Buy during launch.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rukkus:
I realize this is the 10.1 forum, but it seems like the best place to ask... any news?

I found this today which doesn't sound good:

http://english.etnews.co.kr/news/detail.html?id=201106090001
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
No it doesn't sound good. When I Samsung announced the new 10.1 and 8.9 back at CTIA, I did actually wonder whether they were too ambitious with designing the tablets. In the back of my mind was that Samsung created those designs without being 100% how they were going to fit all the components into it. The main motivation to show those were due to competition against iPad2. While both the 8.9 and the 10.1 look damn sexy compared to the competition, I really think they have been rushed as this news article implies.

News of glass coming away from the screen on the Google IO 10.1 devices is also another sign that the devices were rushed. I think I'll wait a month or two after release for things to settle down and for other early adopters to be Samsung's "mass user testing team" :D

I'm sure there'll be some indication on the box via barcodes, SKU etc to work out which 8.9 version people will be getting so it's not a big deal but I've got my eye on the 10.1 so hopefully not affected by this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] achio1115:
Sigh... 8.9" version is all I want... =(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rubi76:
I was also leaning towards the 8.9 but then I saw the 10.1 at the event in NY and the screen was just right.

Sure the 8.9 might be even more portable but the 10.1 is slim and light enough.

All we know about the 8.9 is that it passed the FCC so it can't be too far away.

However, being that the 10.1 is delayed, I am sure they want to make sure that every store + Verizon is selling the 10.1 before launching a new product into the market.

If they would launch together people would buy either one. If they wait a bit they create a buzz for both.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] matt310:
Very disappointing to read. However since I'm on my fifth (!!) Samsung Captivate, I know all-too-well the company's ongoing issues with rushed hardware and quality control. GPS-gate, anyone?

Granted, even the mighty iPad2 is plagued with backlight bleed issues (traced to panel provider, LG) but if this article is true, and Samsung is speeding through a panel manufacturer selection process, I will *not* buy something that was tossed together with questionable quality control. The Asus Transformer's dust under-the-screen issue is a perfect example of poor QC. Same for the Google I/O GTab 10.1 with its lifting screen. At these $500+ price points, I think it's laughable these make it out of the gate with so many problems. (If the Xoom didn't leave me unimpressed with its tepid screen, I'd have stuck with it, as its build quality was otherwise exceptional.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] StuRoid:
The more I read about this Tab 8.9 the more I want it.

This thread is a bit of a bummer if it's true but in the mean while have a look at what GSM Arena have put up.

Definitely put a smile on my face, just got to play the waiting game now :(

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_8_9_preview-review-603.php

The video looks pretty slick too and I think as of late Samsung have been pretty good with pushing out updates of it's newer models like the Galaxy S2 so I'm hoping any newer updates will come quickly to this lil guy....that being said, it will be another story when Ice Cream Sandwich rolls around.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rukkus:
Yes, I was really looking forward to the 8.9 myself. I had originally grabbed a 32gb Transformer, but was totally turned off by the build quality. I had pretty much every issue mentioned.. light bleed from all sides, screen not sealed all the way around, creaky, dead pixels... I sent that back and grabbed a Xoom from Costco hoping that the 8.9 would arrive before my 90 day return window closed.

The Xoom has 0 build issues and is actually one of the sturdiest electronic devices I've held in awhile... it's a bit big though for my liking. I think the screen is just a little too long in portrait and it's annoying to hold while reading in bed. The weight doesn't feel spread out either. Anyway, that's why I wanted to try the 8.9. The 7" tabs just feel like large phones to me and this seems like a great middle ground.

Hopefully, we hear something soon from Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SS2006:
do u think this would fit it: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/tablet-accessories/for-android/devices/keyboard-case-samsung-galaxy

with a simple mod?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
I came from a Tab 7" to a Xoom, and had the same "reading in bed" issues as well. Bought a Tab 10.1, and all that went away...smoother corners, better weight distribution, much less weight overall, and a better display. I read for hours at a time on the couch, in bed, in the "reading room", etc.

Glad I didn't hold out for the 8.9 three months ago...three months is a long time, and I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the 10.1 since then. Doubt I'll ever switch to the 8.9 at this point.

I will be buying the Tab 7.7 just as soon as it's released though...SAMOLED and Exynos in a slim 7" package is too good to pass up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cnewsgrp:
Same here. Held out for 8.9 too long. Just sold 7 inch tab and purchased 10.1 for 350. Will switch to 7.7 when it gets to 350 price.

I want to add that build quality of 7 inch SGT was excellent. Used it with overcome ROM and loved it.

Edit: Said too early. Looks like SGT 8.9 is available for preorder

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung...bolsp-app02-02?id=1218376384117&skuId=3070224

It has USB!!

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-P7310MAAXAR-features
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
It has USB the same way the 10.1 (and 7) does, via the 30-pin connector. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cnewsgrp:
Check the specs on Samsung Site. Its mentioned under connectivity [USB 2.0 H/S]

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-P7310MAAXAR-features

Its NOT for 10.1

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-P7510MAYXAB-features
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
All it says is USB 2.0 High Speed. Which is still the same thing you find on the 10.1. There are no extra ports on the 8.9.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
If the Tab 10.1 doesn't have USB connectivity, how come it came with a USB cable and I'm able to connect it to my PC? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Hironimo:
For most people the cable that comes with it is enough as it does offer usb connectivity to a PC.

What people are talking about is the conntector on the tablet itself. You need an usb cable from samsung to be able to connect - it does not work with a standard usb cable (notice how broad the connector towards the tab is compared to a standard (micro) usb cable)...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hiitti:
Hype

Im just a bit puzzled about this tab, i'm really excited about this tab. But by googleing and searching forums I found that there's no hype? Why is there no hype about this tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ArtificialSweetener:
Its because its still based on Tegra 2 which is basically very old news and soon to be obsolete. There are smartphones with more powerful chips than tegra 2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
Plus the fact that it's been delayed - it's not that different to the Tab 10.1, so most people will probably have gotten bored of waiting and just went for the larger model.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cnewsgrp:
FYI - Just saw this. Tab 7.7 has microSD slot.

Based on some light shed on the location debacle with google, that might not be entirely samsung's fault. It seems like the original location service that samsung had inteneded to use was the one that google forced out of android ecosystem.
