Came from dark and sinistar to ultimate rom. All the sudden about 2 hours in, every time I turn my phone on, the lock screen don't come up and it just is ready to play.. I was like wtf its this rom. Flashed back to dark and sinistar and now the same thing. Goes straight into the system bypassing the lock screen. So I hard reset, wiped data, dalvike and hard reset.. Now lockscreen works again. so I flash back to ultimate, check lock and its golden. Restore my tb and check again, everything is fine, lock screens there...
So about 20 mins in I realize the battery meter on this rom don't show %, so I opened my usual battery indicator app and I got my% in the task bar now...
Ok, I shut phone off to standby, turn back on and no lockscreen, I instantly think battery indicator. I delete app and check lockscreen again and it works..
So both times flashing ultimate I installed battery indicator and know that was my issue.... So weird how a app can cause so many issues, and from this little deal I believe the issues people have are app related. Could even cause reboots.. Hell this app made my lockscreen disappear and I've been using that app forever on different phones and roms..
Battery indicator is my culprit, I'm sure yours is a app also...
nm found it

I have had a problem occur a couple of times today that has never happened before. I have an extended battery installed(3500mAh). After 2 hours of not using the phone this morning after I pulled it from the charger I noticed the battery was down to 86% when it should have been still at 95% or higher. About an hour after that I went to make a call and the phone would not unlock. In fact it would not respond to any gesture or button push. I had to pull the battery to get it to boot up again. That freezing up has happened twice today. Once with the extended battery and once with the stock battery. Should I wipe the data and start all over again? Or is there another solution?
Have you installed any new programs recently?
No nothing for a couple of weeks now.
Still having a lot of freezes. Should I go to the security settings and tell it to do a factory reset and then start over again with rooting and customizing?
just out of curiosity did you reinstall the location services?
No. The only things I added back in after the last flash were the ringtone trimmer, sound recorder, and the sprint tv.
one thing that I noticed when I had my phone hooked up to ddms looking at the debug log I had a RSS reader app that was add supported and every 30 seconds it would search for and dowload a new add. once I got rid of that app it seemed to help.
another thing that really helped was I downloaded an app called "overclock" it let me set my CPU to 528 when the screen was active really helping with the speed and how fluid the scroll in menu's is, but it also lets you set it to like 128 when the screen is off. seems to really help with battery life as well.
What is throwing me for a loop is that the phone sleeps like it is supposed and I have verified this with spare parts show I am not sure why all of a sudden the battery is draining much faster than before. As far as the lockups, they are just temporary freezes, it locks and I have to remove the battery to get it to reboot.
Well I wiped the data then flashed to the newest sprint rom(1.56) and then rooted again. I then wiped data again and then flashed to fresh 1.1 and installed my apps and setup my home screens. So far no problems and it seems to run a lot faster and smoother.
Quick off-topic question:
When you say "wipe your data" does that mean you rm the /data directory? Or what? Just curious
No. I used Wipe in the recovery screen.
i just did a upgrade on my hero too from fresh 1.0 to 1.1
when you select wipe data from recovery mode, besides wiping data with option 1, do you choose option 2 as well ? wipe dev something. i wasnt sure what the 2nd wipe option is for, so i did the first option only and it only took 2 sec to complete that step. my phone is up and running with fresh 1.1 without any issues, so did i do it rite ? just outta curiosity
The second one is the cache. I think it gets rebuilt anyway on the first boot with fresh installed.
my notification panel totally disappear no matter how many times i restart it.

yeapzzz that bar
It happened to my wife's HTC sensation this morning. All the icons in the top taskbar disappeared and she could not pull down the notification panel. I told her to remove the battery and restart the phone. The taskbar is back to normal. You must first disable Fast Boot (Settings, Power) if you want to restart phone without removing battery. If Fast Boot is enabled, the phone merely goes into hybernation mode when you power off.
I am still trying to figure out what caused the disappearance of the taskbar. Have not found any answers in the internet.
Incidentally, I also encountered a strange issue with my HTC senation. When I opened the camera application, the screen kept flickering (i.e. turning on and off repeatedly) making it difficult to take pictures. I read somwhere in the internet that the issue may be caused by geo-tag or GPS or google location. Nothing conclusive yet. I suspected that it was the Latitude application which I had signed in previously. I signed out of Latitude and the issue is gone for now.
hey! that happened to me too!
Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
So I've had a few similar problems with recent ROMS i have flashed.
I'd been using CM9 and CM10 for a while, but got tired of lag and bugs. I thought I'd go back to GB for a while and reflash after some bugs had been worked out.
From CM10 odin'd back to GB stock with CWM and root, then installed AEON purely by reputation. That lasted for about a week. The phone had all kinds of issues with the battery. The battery level would often be all over the place (i know this sometimes happens after a reboot.) After a full charge the phone would stay on for about 4-12 hours, and simply turn off. Prior to shutting off the battery would read at 50%+.
Every time the phone shut off like this I could charge it all day and it would not restart. The only way it would start is if i pulled the battery, plugged in the carger and reinserted the battery. Once I did that an empty battery would show up on the screen. However it was not the normal green one with gradients that would show up, but simply a white box showing no charge. If i held down the power button eventually the normal battery charging screen would show up and it would reboot.
I'm assuming the phone was misreading the battery level for some reason. I tried clearing battery stats. No change.
So I thought 'time for a new rom'
I'm not certain if I went back to stock before this.
So from there I went back to CM9 and then to CM10. The battery issues remained, and two new issues arose.
My reception in the notification bar would turn to an empty triangle. It was not a misreport. I could not make calls or access the internet.
Also whenever i went in to airplane mode it would be grayed out in the power menu. It was impossible to turn off airplane mode without restarting.
I'm not on the most recent verison of liquid smooth. The issues remain, but I don't think it's the ROM as others don't seem to be having these issues.
Does anyone know any reason for this?
My understanding of flashing is that it's essentially a list of folders and files that replaces or adds to existing ones on the phone. Does it actually erase anything? Obviously it leaves our simcards and picture files. It also seems to leave app folders.
And just to be clear I wiped user data, cache, fixed permissions, etc. IMEI is still there, so i don't think that's the service issue. I did not restore any apps with titanium backup for similar. Everything was installed from the play store.
Whenever you flashed back to stock, do you happen to flash boot loaders?

I flashed back to GB so I don't think that was necessary. I've not had the other bootloader issues with garbled display, etc.
So hey folks,
This is the most strange issue i've experienced with my OPO so far.. Already had many random reboots since i manually flashed 38R, but this night Bacon screwed things up.
I woke up, seeing my OPO in a boot loop, it was super hot aswell and has drained the whole battery. So i connected my charger, did a reboot.
'Android is upgrading. Optimizing apps.' - OK so far, but only a total of 106 apps (With my last runtime change to ART, it showed 188 apps..). W/e.
Now it comes. Phone boots up - language defaulted. Whole settings reverted to stock. Apps are still there, but data is lost. :crying: Media on phone is untouched.
Suddenly i see these super strange buttons - they are NOT in their usual CM11S-Design!! And i did not change any visual stuff. [Attached Screenshot of notification screen]
Top right button to switch to quick actions does not work anymore, no reaction.
Home button completely not working aswell.
Also if i shut down and charge, the charging animation is completely different and colored instead oft OPO's normal one.
Restart menu back one low-level functionality aswell..only restart and shutdown possible [Attached Screen]
It's like my phone reverted itself to half generic android.
Guys, what the Heck happened?!
I mean, i will prolly just hard reset and reflash my phone later this day, but really.. WTH is this?? Any similar experiences so far? Or any Problem solutions?
Thanks for your time and replies..
Wasnt able to post in OPO Forums so far (server error >.>) but will update this thread if i get more info.
Attached screen shows that Rom status seems normal..
