When pressing the home screen button to get back to the homescreen, has anyone had the white HTC screen pop and then had to wait several seconds while their phone went back to their homescreen? This happens to me several seconds a day and its very frustrating and makes me consider returning my phone. Do anyone have a suggestion for stopping this?

Yes this has happened to me too. I believe it may have something to do where you use an application that uses alot of resources e.g Emulators and video services. A way to minimize the times this happens is by installing an Advanced task manager and clearing your RAM every so often to save battery, speed performance, and prevent that white screen!
It happens to me when I'm switching between ADW Ex and the stock launcher, but other than that it doesn't really happen.

It was covered even earlier than that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125852
So this thread, and the thread in the quoted text, can both be closed!
It's due to the Sense launcher being pushed out of memory and having to reload. A perfectly normal occurrence due to the way Android handles RAM. Memory intensive activities, such as internet browsing with lots of windows, or large games, will cause it to happen.

Dear All Sensation Owner,
I bought Sensation the first day it came out. And I went back Tmobile store for exchanged due to this issue. (which means this is the second phone)
Both phones have the same issues: Keep restarting itself!
My phone may restart for about 5~10 times a day.
It happens whenever I'm quitting a program (ex: Facebook, Contacts, MAP..etc) and it just restart itself to a white background with HTC logo screen. (T-mobile welcome screen "stick together" does NOT show up at this situation)
I'm wondering if anyone having the same issues with me. This has bothered me way too much! Should I exchange for a new one or just need patient for the update
Thanks!!!
The 5-10 reboots per day is not normal. Mine rebooted once in the 7 days that I've had it.
What you are experiencing is a soft reboot. Try factory resetting, if it doesn't help, by all means take it back.
i think this is just an Android OS problem , my brother has a THUNDERBOLT on verizon and he gets random reboots all the time ,same for his wifes droid x , hers is phucked , it restarted three times in three hours when i was by their house the other day and his once , my sensation has rebooted itself three times in two weeks so i guess i cant complain
Your phone isn't rebooting, it is Sense that is rebooting. The app or apps that you are using are using up too much memory to keep Sense running in the background. Instead of not allowing you to use your apps, your phone is freeing up space by disabling Sense. Try using the back key to exit out of applications instead of the home key. This kills the app rather than leaving it active in the background.
Either way, I'm not saying there isn't something wrong with your phone, there very well may be. I haven't had that issue at all, but two phones with the same exact issue leads me to think it is, atleast in part, a user-caused issue. Good luck man.

As the subject says, whenever I exit an app or the browser, it goes to the white htc screen and then it says loading for abt 15 second and it'll take me back home. Anyone know what causes this?

Are you using a task killer?
Sounds suspiciously like rosie is being killed by something every time it goes to the background.

it's a RAM issue! I solved it by uninstalling the new Market App (I cannot use the new functionality here in Europe, anyway) and other services that I didn't used that I had running in the background!
Problem solved!
With all the love I have for my Sensation, I feel HTC should have gone with more memory!!
How can I get the old market back?

I would have to say it's HTC's over-bloated Sense that is the problem. With CM7 I always have 300-200 Mb of unused memory. I can run games, videos, anything memory intensive and still never use it all.
As for the white screen when hitting home... It's a memory issue with Sense. I would get that back when I ran stock ROM.
Hey guys. I've noticed that although the ram on my phone is pretty good multitasking is absolutely appauling. An app will stay open for ten minutes. Approximately maximum before it just ends up closing although it still shows it as running. I want multitasking like ios where once you open the app it will stay open forever until you manually close it. Is there any rom or kernel or anything that will provide me with such a multitasking experience. I wouldn't mind the battery I have an anker 1900.

I do but just a few minutes the app will close in the background. I was browsing the web and switched to email. To send three and the Facebook. Altogether about 8 minutes and when I switched back to the internet it had to reload and went to the homescreen. The multitasking in the HTC sensation is awful.

Hey all, i don't know if there's already a thread about this but i did a quick search and didn't really find one about my problem.
Anyways, my girlfriend has a mytouch 4g slide and it keeps freezing on her. If she's in a call, she can stay in the call but won't be able to hang up or use the screen in any way until a restart. She is completely stock. This is the second mytouch for her with the same problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Well when I was stock, I never had any problems like this. I have heard about people having screen freezes with regards to the call screen, however. It could easily be one of the apps that she downloaded. It might be worth it to try a factory reset if the problem is persistent. Not to mention that sounds like a pretty annoying issue.
Yeah, we tried a factory reset before and it didn't work.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Huh, I talked to her more about this issue and it seems that it only freezes during a call. She didn't realize it until I asked her specifically about it. So any way to fix this issue.

If a factory reset doesn't solve your problem, you have two options:
Root and install a custom rom (could be a stock rom problem, even though it shouldn't be)
Get it replaced under warranty
is the device completely frozen, or can she get the screen to turn on by pressing the trackpad or something? come to think of it, the sensor doesn't seem to work perfectly on my device, so sometimes when i want to hang up a call, i need to press the trackpad to get the screen to turn on. i have never had the device become totally unresponsive tho.
Well, she says the screen is on but nothing happens when she taps it. The only way so far to get her phone to work again is a battery pull.
This is already a warranty replaced phone for the same problem. I would root her phone, but she is in San Francisco and I'm not. She is also not very tech savvy so she can't do it herself.

Have her try using GO! Dailer/Contacts. I know this issue is based within the Call Out screen. But try using GO! It can also an out of Ram issue. On stock, the more widgets you use. The worse the phone gets. You'll see that HTC Logo all the time. My Uncle has this phone, and he's 100% stock. He gets freezes, and the HTC Logo screen after every app. Since the phone has the highest priority in a call, in can be using to much RAM. Then the phones doing a Rosie reboot with out the HTC scrreen.
If she wants to. Install Zeam Launcher. She won't have any Sense widgets. But it'll free up about 120Mb of Ram. Then place the call, and see if it lags.

After a warranty replacement for my old phone, I haven't had time to fight rooting and have been experiencing similar issues... Memory mgmt seems to be cause. Ive removed some apps and it has reduced issues.
On initial use of phone, I reset it, inserted a full battery and followed the general "let it set" rules for a fresh rom install. At first, all was great, everything worked perfect. But as I added apps, it grew less stable. Also seeing phone freeze when rebooting into recovery... Eek. Tried multiple sd cards, batteries, to no avail.
Gonna call for another replacement. Ugh. Wrty is up in a couple months...

I've had a couple of freezes happen to me during phone calls and I realize what the problem was. It was apps automatically downloading in the background from the Play Store. If an auto update for apps is happening and I receive a phone call at the same time my phone will become unresponsive for a few minutes.

So this GO! Dialer, would it help with the freezing issue? I don't see how using another app would help with the memory issue. Does Zeam Launcher require root?
Hi Folks
I have a stock HOX, over the last month or two sense has been getting veeerrrryy sloooow, so slow that when flipping between home screens I actually have to stop and wait as the screens judder across. This usually happens when I start using the phone after not haveing interacted with it for an hour or two or when it has just been turned on if it was off for some reason...
Most of the slowness goes after a couple of minutes, except for on the home button, most of the time I press it and nothing hapens so I press again and again, then all of a sudden all the home presses act at once at the screens start flipping around like crazy!
Also if the phone is on charge and screen is off I usually have to press the power button several times before the screen will trn on again...
Another issue that seems to also be cropping up is, especially while on charge, the phone will jsut turn itself off! Sometimes itwill restart again by itself, sometimes it doesnt!
Anyone have any solution to get my phone back in good health?

Ummm, I don't know... where can I find that setting? I do usually have power save on if that would enable the cpu speed change...though I also meant to mention that even with this on my battery performance seems to be getting worse and worse
What Rom? Typically its in a performance setting or done using a 3rd party app.

Bah! Egg on my face! Clearly I didn't read attentively enough.
My apologies. Your options are to factory reset or RUU, if neither of those work, It's a hardware issue.
Factory reset. I would also try another launcher to see if it behaves the same. I (still) have problems with sense being choppy but ONLY when I use the Yahoo mail official app, for some reason slows down the system considerably. I stopped using it all together and use the stock sense mail app and everything is going well now. You might have a rogue app, so i would try a reset.
