Widget display issues...

---

I'm having problems with some of the widgets displaying on my home screens.

Some, but not all of them, have what I would describe as a static appearance covering part of the icon, usually in a bar across the width of the icon.

The issue affects different widgets at different times but would appear to only be ones added by the apps I've downloaded rather than the "stock" ones.

I'm hoping I'm not alone in this and that better still, someone knows how to sort it?

I had that too. On one widget. I simply rebooted my device, and it went away. Not come back since. Not totally sure what it is to be honest.

Yeah, I had the same. A reboot fixed it and not happened again.

Cheers guys will give that a go....

On another note, how are you finding the Sensation? I came from a rooted Desire so the leap doesn't seem quite as big as maybe I'd hoped, not too impressed with the "locally stored" navigation maps not being free as it was always publicised...

Apart from that I'm well impressed, as are my colleagues more importantly! ;)

I am very impressed by the device. Looks amazing. I love the new screen, much better than the WVGA on the Desire HD. qHD is lovely. Missing the root though. Really hope there are some breakthroughs when more devs have the device.

Have same problem too. noticed it on the stock android power widget and also the facebook widget. I can only describe it like "bad tv reception". hoping it will clear up after a reboot. haven't noticed it with any of the htc widgets.

Just picked up Sensation today. So far loving it. this has been the only problem I've encountered so far.

From what I have read so far this issue is known and is believed to be a software issue. I have experienced this on a few non htc widgets. I tend to agree with the notion that it's because not all apps can keep up with the new qHD screen.

Agreed: Only 'major' issue for me as well

I've had my phone for a few days (luck to find a Walmart that sold it to me). I received "static lines" on my power widget. I rebooted this once, and all is well. It only affected that one widget. Reminds me of a video card going out on a computer (again just on the widget).

Oh, I also noticed that the voice recorder widget (from htc Hub) wouldn't turn on when I pressed the widget.

I'm having this static lines issue also. Do the guys from HTC know that? Hope it is gonna be fixed in the new firmware.

I'm having a serious issue with the widgets, worse than what I've seen described here. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It can affect almost all widgets at one time or perhaps just a few. Rebooting sometimes but by no means always helps, as does switching skins.

I expect it is indeed a software issue. I'm hoping an update with smooth things out a bit, but I sure as heck haven't heard of any updates any time soon for T-Mobile, S-OFF or otherwise.
