my phone keeps rebooting after I try to exit out of Asphalt 6 HD.
not sure why it's doing this...
I purchased this game along with Modern Combat 2 and MC2 doesn't force my phone to reboot upon exit.
sometimes I get the black screen upon exit of A6HD and have to pull the battery.
has anyone had this issue? if not maybe I need to redownload the game or something...
everything else on the game works fine. just the reboot on exit. kinda getting annoying after a few times...
thanks.
Sense reboots. That about it though on my asphalt 6.

Works smoothly, no problem when exit.

I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that "Sense" actually kills off when playing something or using an app that uses a lot of resources. It makes sense (no pun intended) that it would pull the memory for a game with such heavy graphics. Another reason to believe that android has some of the best memory management around.
It's sense that reboots, not the whole phone. I think its because the game uses a lot of resources. And the thing I like is everytime after I play this game (the only game I've been playing for da last week since I'm addicted lol) I get about 250 free ram, which is nice.
Bt @ op, Idk about the whole screen going black and u having to pull the batt, sum is def wrong there, never happened to me

Yep, its Sense rebooting. HQ games do it nearly everytime, opening multiple browser windows in Firefox (or probably even stock if flash is running in any of them), or just having several tasks running at the same time can do this. Annoying, to say the least.
cool, thanks for the info guys.
I'm ok with sense rebooting upon exit. still annoying but you guys are right, it's the sense, not the whole phone.
the black screen issue only happened once and I think the phone was in the middle of working the sense reboot out(just taking longer).
perhaps if I waited a little bit it would have worked itself out... keeping my eye on it though.
still kind of puzzling that MC2 doesn't do this and it's in HD as well.
A6HD must push the phone pretty hard. it's a battery drainer and it gets the phone pretty hot after awhile.
anyway, thanks again.
p.s. one guy that is not having the sense reboot problem... I hate you mang!
I agree. A6HD can milk a battery with the quickness. Love the game, hate the drain.

So I have had my Sensation for a week now and while it's been running almost flawless I have noticed something odd. On two occasions I have been several screens deep in an application. The most recent was while I was in the Google Market. After hitting the back (arrow) button several times, I noticed that the screen went white and HTC letters appeared. It's almost like it reset itself without the full reboot.
Has anyone else experienced this issue. Is it cause for concern? I have a week left to exchange it at Walmart, but would prefer not to go that route unless I have to do so.
Thanks for any and all replies.
It sounds like Rosie (Sense launcher) gets pushed out of the memory and has to re-start itself. Got this phone today and I've seen it more then once already. I think it's ridiculous that a phone with 700+ Mb or Ram is exhibiting that kind of behavior. Just shows how bloated Sense is.
Don't get me wrong, I like Sense, I just wish it would not take over the phone and would let us disable/uninstall/replace parts of it. Can't wait for CM on this device.
I just picked up my sensation and its done that several times already seems like its doing a soft reboot.

I've had this same issue occasionally as well. Can't recreate it, but it definitely happens.
Thanks for the info. On the one hand it's reassuring that it's happening to others, however, it doesn't mean that it's acceptable. One more reason to hope HTC unlocks the boot loader soon.
The 3D launcher is nice but I'm probably going to replace it with some thing like Go EX or ADW EX. If the launcher is that much of a ram hog it's not worth the eye candy.
I have had two units and they both have don it

Yep, that's exactly what it is. It's not a reboot, or a reset, or anything like that.
I got it quite a lot in the day or so that I used Sense, haven't seen it happen with ADW.Launcher.EX yet. ADW restarts occasionally on my HTC Desire (running CM7.1 nightlies) if I've been doing something memory intensive like playing a 3D game or browsing the internet with lots of windows.
CM7 is going to be brilliant on here. It'll be Sensational

Happens on mine each and every time I launch Firefox Beta... also happens almost randomly, even the tasks don't seem to use a lot of resources...
I find this a non issue. It does that to mine too but quickly fixes itself

I've seen it a total of two times the past week. I've been using Sense launcher the whole time and using the phone itself WAAAAAAAAAAY too much this past week. So for me it's been a very rare glitch.
Sense out of the box is always under-optimized.
Give me root! Or give me death!
The same thing happens on my wifes Thunderbolt so I'd say it may be a Sense optimization issue.

The only real problem I have with the sensation, is it's speed. It's taking forever to get here. Sense 3.0 lagged my delivery time. Dual core my ass!
Anybody else having this problem? Figured I'd ask as all others seem to be having a problem in some way or another with the Sensation.

+1 Agreed.
Mine is flying. I think you're confuse about speed and smoothness. If you think you don't, exchange.
Honestly the Sensation doesn't seem any smoother with Sense 3.0 than my G2 running Virtuous Unity 1.24 @ 1.2ghz. But I bought it for the 4.3" screen and thin form factor.
Oh dear. I think you misread the original post.

I got a Sidekick 4G ( Sensation ) lolol .
about to get a OC'ed Lagfix kernal hehe . w/ a nice ROM w/ TouchWiz 4.0
I have used 4 brand new Sensations with nothing loaded on them and all of them have performed differently. I'm trying to make sense (pun intended) of it. The first one I got was fast and smooth, the second one was laggy as hell, the third was a little laggy and the forth one was fast and smooth. Does anyone know why the same device would act differently when it comes to performance?
Here is a little video I made. Let me know if yours is this fast.

That looks just like mine. I consider it fast and smooth. But then I'm coming from a Vibrant, a picture of which is in the dictionary under "laggy".
I tried a demo unit at a TMO store and it was not as smooth. A bit jerky or stuttery when flipping between home screens. I disabled animation, but it made no diff. So, it does seem there's an odd variation between phones.

Yea, I wouldn't keep the auto install option on. For some reason I think it makes the phone slower. What is the carousel effect? I know what the carousel is but what is it doing? Engaging every time you go to scroll side to side? Both mine and my wife's Sensations are pretty damn fast. Not quite as fast as the G2X since it's running vanilla but I have no doubt in my mind that the Sensation will be just as fast once we get the bloatware and Sense off of it. I have not restarted my phone for 3 days now and have never gone that long with any other Android device. Usually when day two rolls around, my devices start to bog out but not my Sensation. Might be the added RAM or something. Once we get everything off of it though. We are going to have over 400mb of free memory sitting on the phone.

The carousel effect is when you get the homescreens to whirl around by swiping the screens fast. What do you mean by auto install option on?

If you go into privacy settings there is a option called "Back up my Settings" and "Automatic Restore". If you enable both of them, all of your settings and apps will be backed up on Googles servers so when ever you get a new phone or reset your phone, all of your apps will be installed automatically and all of your phone settings will stay the way you had them. I have done this about 6 times with the same phones and every time I do it, the phone performs slower for some reason. I know it sounds weird but it does. Try it out though. See what happens.
Wow @ the responses to my op. Most of you didn't even read the op and still replied with a response that had nothing to do with the op. I just wanted to get some lulz from this thread, well, I guess I did.

You didn't get a response because I don't speak gibberish. How about translating that into English next time and perhaps you might gets some feedback
I guess you were talking about how long it took to get in the Sensation forums through the XDA app. Were you being vague on purpose? You made it seem like a general statement. Next time, try to specify what exactly is lagging.
The dual core processor had nothing to do with getting here. The second core will not kick in unless it needs to and lets be honest, the XDA app doesn't need two cores to run it. There have been plenty of times I have seen the dual core CPU do its thing. I blew through, what my Nexus S and Nexus 1 would have lagged through.
Lastly, to respond with an answer for your post. Sometimes these forums get a ton if traffic in a short period ff of time which causes them to lag. There are also plenty of people working on these forums all day long to keep them running so people like me and you can agrue over dumb **** the other person probably knows both about.

LOL...he was talking about how long it took for him to actually get the phone.
I noticed this for some time, and sure some of you have also... but I was wondering if there's a modded touch screen driver of some sorts?
Nothing is wrong with how it is now it's just that when you play music games like tap tap or beats and are good at it (playing on hardest difficulty) sometimes you know you press it but it doesn't register and says you missed.
You can easily see this when you go into the dev tools app>pointer location and just simulate pressing any 2 places (pretend you're playing a fast song on tap tap) really fast and you'll quickly notice that sometimes it'll register as if you slid your finger from one location to the other.
It bothers me because it makes me want to throw my phone because I can never full combo anything that's really fast due to this "bug" so if anyone knows anything or could suggest anything then it would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Ouch, yea, I wanted to kill this thing when I was on stock ROM. Barely worked. I have been running Cyanogen for some time and only notice problems if my fingers are cold, which as I have cold clammy hands and live in a cold city is alot, but even still I only have a problem 10 percent of the time. Of course being a light-weight gamer for years, I get your irritance. In short, try CM, I'm going to be flashing Trinity kernel soon which could also make an impact.

Thank you for your input, I am on the newest cm7 compiled by Baldwinguy with faux ;p.
Yeah it actually doesn't happen that often, it's really just on those games like tap tap revenge. It doesn't bother when typing on the keyboard with both hands either... but it's aggravating when it does occur... I was wondering if there could be a way of editing the driver... you never get this problem on the iPhone version :/.
Sense crashes on me constantly. I tried the fix suggested where you go unclick the activities setting in the development area, to no avail. Can any Cleanrom users tell me if this is problem for you (AT&T) after you rooted and installed CR on your phone?
What do you mean by crashing? Is it force closing or just reloading (get the loading circle)
If its reloading its because of HTC setting aggressive memory management.

I could have worded that better - I mean to say that HTC sense, on my vanilla AT&T rom, goes down a lot, and when you press the home button, it says "loading" for upwards of 20 seconds.
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599214, however while this seems to fix it for some folks, it does not fix it for others. It's still happening to me, sadly.
I am considering returning this for a SGIII, but I got to wondering if I root it and install CleanRom, maybe that fixes the issue to, in addition to removing the AT&T bloat.

That would be the aggressive management that HTC put into the phone same reason that the browser reloads the page after you close it.
If you find a ROM that locks sense into the memory then it should solve that.
I only have the t3 hox so I can't recommend any for at&t

bumping, in case some Cleanrom users can reply. I got really frustrated yesterday - set up my screens and launcher and folders all nice, just the way I like them, nad Sense reloaded - all of a sudden, the screens I had removed were back, my icons were all over the place, and my folders were not on the home screen. Super frustrating!
Hold on, it actually goes back to default layout after reloading as well?

Almost - I had five screens again, my folders were all bumped to the last screen (so I had to move them back to the home screen before I could delete the extra screens), and a bunch of icons appeared out of nowhere, all over the place. So, it didn't go back to default but it did jack everything up.
It may be something that never comes up because most people do not remove all the extra screens.

I doubt you're going to get many replies from CleanROM users over here, since you've posted this in the international (Tegra 3) subforums and CleanROM is for S4 devices so no-one here will be using it. You'd probably get a better response asking here (or you could maybe ask a mod to shift the thread for you).

WHOOPS! Thank you for pointing it out to me!
Well hello Welcome to the correct forums xD
CleanROM has many multitasking improvements, from what I've read, so it should help quite a bit.
And if you still don't like the multitasking, AOSP based ROMs such as CM9 or AOKP have perfect multitasking (I've been able to get up to 7 apps running with AOKP)
CleanROM 4.1
Using the latest version of CleanROM on the AT&T One X, I have none of the issues that you speak of. Multitasking is night-and-day (granted that you flashed the multitasking mod in the AROMA installer), battery life is stellar, and everything is rock-solid stable.
I've never seen sense reload on me but I don't play games much. Are you a big gamer? I've been using clean rom since it was introduced.
I haven't had Sense reload on me once since flashing CleanROM a month and a half ago. I play a ton of RAM heavy games too like NOVA 3 and as I said, not once has it happened.
I mostly use the web on mine, Google Music, and a couple minor games like Words By Post and Temple Run. Thank you all for the replies, this makes me feel a bit more hopeful. I'm a bit anti-Samsung at the moment, so I am glad to hear that maybe flashing a ROM will fix my problems. I was pretty close to just returning it.

Holy crap batboy! Not only are these usefull in a real world sense, they actualy work and give you the baddest boot up animation ever. Also got rid of that horrible power up sound I could never seem to kill. ChainFire does it again! I am SO happy right now, if you dont have this your life is not as bright as it could be! I almost forgot, you can run them both at the same time in a split screen like I am doing in the pic, or you can run one or the other. I really like the split screen. You can also warm boot from either of them at any time. Very handy. Last thing, there are free versions of this from ChainFire but the paid version isn't that much for both and you can hide the copyright so it looks all custom and such.

You can even double the size of the type, its the best boot up animation ever!
