[Q] Strange graphic issues (Hardware problem?)

[Dacoco]

Hi,

my girlfriend got her Sensation this week and the phone got some strange graphic issues. They only appear on two of the homescreens and NOT in the lockscreen and NOT in other apps.
Please see the attachments for review. These lines change the position from time to time. The widgets used there are used by me too and i have no problems with them.

It seems to be a problem with the gpu i think. But it's very strange that these issues only appear on two homescreens.

What do you think? Do we have to send it back to T-Mobile to get a replacement?
Or is this a "known issue". Btw - The FOTA is not rolled out by ******* T-mobile.

Regards
Daniel

Try taking the battery out without turning the phone off first. Then put it back in and boot it back up. That fixed some nasty issues for my GF's brand new Samsung Exhibit.

Does this thread deals with the same issue?

Hmmm, a real reboot (disabled fastboot first...) helped...

Yea I just experienced this today and I've had my phone for about a month now... What apps does she have installed?... I'm think one of the recent app installations caused my issue

That's the problem many of us are having, especially with third-party widgets.

Someone here mentioned that the OTA update fixed the problem for them, but I haven't seen anyone else confirm this yet.

I have it recurring somewhat too. When it starts happening, often I can remove the widget and replace it and that will fix it. Sometimes I have to do a restart.

The interesting thing is that i use the "same" ROM as base on my Desire HD (Virt. Unity 1.27) and i have none of that...

its definately a software issue, and mostly related to 3rd party apps...this happens for me with; dictionary widget, current widget, and the stock connectivity widget

The widget in the pic is from HTC Hub

I got the widget from HTC Hub and it's powered by Google.

This happened to me and my buddy on our sensations this fixed it, havent had it since.

1.) Delete the widgets its happening too

2.) Disable Fast Boot

3.) Turn off phone and turn back on (not restart)

4.) Put widgets back

i am using Android Revolution HD 1.1.7, and i get this problem on -

BeyondPod
AudioManager

I had this problem on my stock rom and on the AR rom, it may be app related but not sure. What i am sure of is the problem is following me around

Same problem here on Android Revolution HD 1.1.7 (installed after Super Wipe). Deleting the widgets that caused trouble and adding them back seemed to cure the problem.

I am facing this issue since the first day, I took the device to HTC Care center, and after two days they informed me that the problem is not in the device. Those old widgets were designed for old resolution devices, and since our device has higher resolution with more advanced screen, then the widgets developers shall keep this in mind in their new widgets versions

This.

Can we have a sticky? This is like the umpteenth thread about this issue.

I have the same issue, it is a sense issue, switched to any other launcher, spb or adw ex and there's no such a problem

NOT completely true, this happens to me with HTC's power control and google search widgets, and exclusively with those two widgets, removing and adding the widgets help but it comes back every once in a while, still don't know what triggers the issue though.
