Hello!
The main bugs I get with my Rose on Uk Orange is the soft key that interacts with the home screen.
Sometimes when I get a message or email it doesn't display on the home screen and when highighting the sms or email panel pressing "inbox" does nothing. Instead I have to hit start and go into messages that way.
A reboot solves this. But it does it a bit to often for it to be ok. Should I reboot my smartphone once every day like a PC?
Also the answer key occasionally plays up. Either it doesn't work when answering a call or when pressing "call" from the contacts list it just takes you straight to the number dial screen. Odd. A reboot does normally solve it but not always.
Can't find any hot fixes on the HTC site. Looks like there isn't a new ROM available for it as yet. What can I do!? I love the Rose but it annoys me a bit!
Thanks in advance.
If I were you I'd make a back-up of the files on your device by syncing it with a PC and then hardreset it by going to: start - desktop tools (or something like that) - clear storage. Might be helpful.
Any possible workarounds for getting off the retrieve pattern lock if you have forgotten a gmail acct? Done doing factory reset via cwm and tried installing stock rom and kernel but it always ends the same way. With customs, I always get a bootloop.

i seems an answer is in the post a few below yours::
Samsung Galaxy SCH-i500 how to bypass "Login with google account" screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182268
Quote:
1. Completely power off and power on your Galaxy-S phone.
2. Right after you pass the Galaxy-S and just before the Verizon Wireless logo video ends, immediately tap on the home button extremely fast and repeatedly (at least 4-5 times per second). If the Emergency Call button pops up, click that every now and then (3-5 times) but keep tapping on the home button. During this process your phone may flash the password screen or keypad screen just a few times and your phone will seem to be lagging due to the tapping.
3. Keep tapping until you see your Android home buttons stay steady at the bottom. Voila, you’re in your phone! If the emergency keypad constantly shows up or if it shows the Google account screen constantly, you have failed. The success rate can be around 15-50% so keep trying until it works. (You may want to grab a young phone-savvy guy or girl to do it if your fingers are too slow)
4. Find and run the Settings App and go to Accounts & Sync.
5. Under Manage Accounts, remove all accounts except your Google account.
6. Press your power button off and on and enter your correct Google account information.
7. It will ask for a new security pattern. Enter it twice and you are done!
This solution worked for me. If it does for you, please leave a comment with your carrier and phone model to let others know that it worked!
... but worked just fine.

will try this method. will keep you posted if successful or not.
managed to get in. but now theres a new one. somehowmthe owner had a tw launcher installed and im'm stuck on fc error message. if i try to close it, i'm back on the gmail acct retrieval. hmmmmm.....
Looks to me that o won't he able to do the above steps. Hands are too slow. Also found out that it's like a common issue to the sgs stock recovery. Used odin and flashed cwm 2.5.1.x instead amd wipe from there. Worked like a charm.

Hello Everyone. I have my new Samsung S6 Edge about 3 weeks now. It worked flawlessly the first week and a half but lately I've been getting an intermittent problem with the sensitivity of the touchscreen and it is very annoying. I have to swipe, touch a letter (if texting), or touch an icon, multiple times before it will execute the touch. Sometimes it seems as if it is in slow motion where the execution responds 4 to 5 seconds after the touch. There has not been any new software added and I always close out of any running programs.
I have tried all of the following to which none had any effect:
a) Restarting the phone by using the on/off key dialog box
b) Shutting it down for a couple of minutes and starting it again
c) Using Samsung's method to restart the phone by holding the on/off key and down volume key simultaneously
After a day and a half of frustration I was ready to take it back to my mobile supplier when it all of a sudden starting working properly after checking to see if my phone volume was at the maximum volume by hitting the up volume button. It worked well for about 3 days and then started to do the same thing. So again, I played with the volume down and up buttons until the touchscreen sensitivity worked.
I'm currently having the same issue again which prompted me to post this message. Playing with the up and down volume keys seem to help it at a ratio of about 7 out of 10 times. I've searched the web but haven't found anyone else with the same issues. A look at the Applications Manager under Running apps, System is taking up 1.1 GB, Apps taking up 530 Mb, leaving 0.99 GB of free memory.
Any suggestions? Maybe I should be taking it back for a hardware replacement?
Thanks for listening.
OK, so now I've come to the conclusion that hitting the volume up key was just a fluke although It seemed to help sometimes. S6 touchscreen returned to normal again yesterday afternoon. It just comes and goes which makes it rather difficult to show a mobile technician. I'll have to wait until it malfunctions again before taking it in to a Samsung Repair shop.
Me too....
I have subscribed to this thread, in hopes of finding some clues, because I too, have noticed the same exact behavior that OP described and was searching for a remedy/explanation. Also, had the volume up and seemed to somewhat fix it, but like OP said it is sporadic. I, by accident in trying to clear the cache, completely blew away my phone and had to rebuild my phone as I had before and even after a complete reset, I still have the same behavior.
Hi Chris, I stumbled across another interesting behaviour. While the phone is acting up, if you press and hold the UP Volume key (keeping it depressed) you will be able to scroll and press icons as normal. As soon as you let go of the volume key, the issue continues.
This is a link to a video I uploaded today to You Tube that shows exactly the issue I am having.

Just saw your vid, looks like yours is more pronounced than mine (non-Edge btw) and happens once in a while and then it goes away - I am hoping it isn't progressive. I can't seem to identify what triggers the sluggish behavior. I typically clear all apps from the recent apps as a matter of my normal operation in all my previous smartphones. When I notice it the most is when pulling down the notification center and either nothing happens or I have to pull down the shade all the way down for it to stick, otherwise it slides back up.

Thanks Alex, I tried your suggestion and disabled Briefing, cleared the cache & data, then restarted the phone. It did not fix the problem.

for me it's much better..still think it's also the memory problem..as around a half day all is fine..than the lag starts..
Took the phone to a Samsung Repair Shop today. Turns out the LCD display was malfunctioning. It took them 1.5 hours to repair and replace under warranty. Hopefully I won't have anymore issues with it

actually it really helped a lot
thx bro
Yes, I did that same thing, and it did help a LOT.. however after the latest update (I have the Edge+) the issue returned.. did it again, and it "fixed" it, but for how long?
And why is this happening??
No idea why this has happened but want to see whether anyone else experienced issues after updating firmware to OD1 and if there is a fix.
Seems the norification panel flashes when scrolling through and scrolling up and down through text is no longer smooth.

yeah my VZW S6 edge 128GB just started doing the exact same thing over the weekend. It's so frustrating! I would say it first started when all of "my" media sounds (for texts, email, ringtones, etc.) all of sudden stopped working and could not be detected by apps & the OS. Then, out of nowhere, the notification pane would flash when pulled down AND I was unable to use the power button to reset the device (when holding down the button, the power menu would appear & quickly disappear without giving me a chance to make a selection).
I took it back to the Verizon store and of course, all they want to do is a full factory reset. I haven't done it yet but when the guy force-restarted it (holding Vol Down, Home, & Power), the problem seemed to go away. I rooted the phone the next day, de-bloated more than a few apps & froze TouchWiz w/ TB but the notification pane flashing glitch & just overall sluggish system performance has since returned. Since no one anywhere seems to be reporting any such performance, I suspect a hardware issue so I will be making an exchange before my 14-day return period expires.
What have you done to fix your issue?
Possible Fix?
stumbled across a few threads in regards to various graphics issues: try rolling back your Android System WebView update in the Application Manager and then reboot your phone, it seems to have cleared up some of the performance problems for me...but only time will tell if this "fix" holds for the long-run

Yeah I couldn't fix it...I ended rolling back my firmware to the OC1 and starting again. But now my Music apps don't recognise music in the storage file (Walkman app). This phone seems to have the strangest glitches!
s6 glitching as well after recent update
After recent update my s6 *international version randomly starts scrolling through the open apps.
I have a video of it on youtube if anyone is interested. s6 glitch. I may decide to root it and see if it goes away with CWM.
Hello,
I have a Xiaomi redmi note 3 (MIUI version 7.0.9something) and have been meeting various problems. Could you help, please?
1) Is there an english manual/user guide? Whenever I search for one, I get the one page pdf only. I got only the chinese manual with the box.
2) I'd like to import from an old android phone (Samsung galaxy ace, android 2.3.6) the Pou application with all saved data (it is somewhat of a tamagotchi, who I have fed for 3 years, so I'd like to keep him on my new phone ). How to do that, please?
3) Whenever I write (say an sms or a note) and mistakenly touch the finger scanner on the back of the phone, the writing cursor skips to the beginning of the line. How to turn this off?
4) I have been abroad, the phone used roaming, and now the messaging service shows the error "Unfortunately, the messaging app had stopped working". I have to choose in second time to get to the messaging screen. I think it has something to do with the first menu with the whole list of contacts and messages, because when I write a message and then suddenly go back to the menu, I get the same error and the app shuts down. Factory reset had not helped.
5) Same thing applies to the weather application. Whenever I choose the option "Localize" to find my location, I get an error "Localisation failed". Last time this worked was when I was abroad. Upon returning, it had stopped working.
Thanks for the help!
