Anyone else getting HTC Sense force closes now that they've rooted their Slide?
I never got them before, but now they happen periodically. It's not terribly annoying but inconvenient sometimes.

Try going back to stock and then re-rooting ? Sometimes things don't go right during the process.
My HTC Sense sometimes closes due to low memory, I get no Force close error message though.
The only thing i've had FC since rooting (but I dont think it's related) is my wifi calling app. It worked right after rooting but I changed the lcd density and some keys in the keymap. Oh and also installed a ton of other apps.
So I don't think my issue is related to root. Did you install a bunch of apps after rooting?

That shouldn't cause sense to FC.
I just found out that my wifi calling is FC'ing because of my lcd density.
I have it set to 190. It will FC at that. If I set it back to 240 it works.
I'm going to try 200, cause 190 is rather small with sense. on CM, 190 is perfect on my g2 but it doesn't look as small as it does on this version of sense.
Also, i have seen some WEIRD stuff with android. I rooted a friends g2 and as soon as it booted up and he logged in with HIS gmail account, EVERYTHING would start to force close. But if his wife logged in with hers (after a fresh reflash of the rom) the phone was fine. Likewise if he logged on her rooted g2 with his google account. He finally figured out it was because he checked the backup/sync box during the account setup. Once he unchecked that (but only for his account) the phone was fine.
I doubt this is what's causing your issue but try it, remove your google account and see if your FC stops, then readd it.

I had the same problem but now sorted. Type in google the problem and you will get an answer. I think you have to clear google talk or google mail storage in applications, then manage applications all in settings. Hope this helps.

You have to reinstall gtalkservice.apk and Talk.apk. Follow this thread for instruction

All of the Google related software is integrated into your account which in turn is how you purchase/use the market.
As for your issue, have you made sure your APN settings are correct since rooting your device? Make sure you've done that. As well, check the original root thread for a market fix in case that's your issue as well.
Edit: I just saw you're using Rogers. Make sure you use the x10a fix for the market. Also note that when I applied the fix, it took over 24 hours and clearing the cache several times before it started working properly. I really strongly recommend you check your APN as well though. Rooting/debranding the x10a from the Rogers network clears out the APN settings and most have had to put them in manually.

I faced it once long back .. but after that I rooted my phone for almost 3 or 4 times changing the firmwares and then the problem just disappeared.
Yea, APN setting entered correctly. I might just remove them and enter them again through. Thx for all the suggestions folks.

I since narrowed it down to my wifi connection, because it never seems to happen while on 3G. Could be something to do with my router settings. I'll try a static IP again, but I don't think that will help much.

As usual check to make sure what storage the app is installed on. I am having some issue with my Audiogalaxy widget personally. I never told it to do so, but it installed the app on my internal "memory card" as opposed to on the phone. Move it if you have to.
Try restart after that, and if it still isn't working, try removing and reinstalling.
(I'm beginning to suspect some widgets I am used to may be gingerbread only)
Yeah gtasks is deleting itself and also my videos and mp3s randomly stop working.

well he tweeted it. he didnt say in progress, he simply said he was looking through the infuse source code... and then said the infuse would get the voodoo treatment. first sound, then lagfix. dont expect it this week or next. or even next month. it might come that fast but it might not. he got a sgs2 and may be sidetracked with that, also he is heavily involved with new stuff for voodoo sound, maybe we will get squeezed in to this next voodoo sound release, maybe the one after.
is anyone who is having trouble using apps to sd? that is known to cause disapearing widgets. the sgs's have ample storage for apps. i dont know why people insist on moving them to the sd. maybe they have a fast sd card but the phone doesnt need much. embedded os is kinda designed to do minimal i/o.
I had the same issues with widgets deleting. I had to uninstall and reinstall from market to get the going again.
I should have said this first, my issues only started after rooting. But then again I only had the phone for about 10 mins before rooting it.
got rid of it already though as I have an sgs2 on the way.

No issues with force closing, but I have had quite a bit of disappearing Widgets. Grooveshark and audible from the same panel in go launcher. I haven't done root or anything.

I had the same problem of Widgets Disappearing, mainly after reboots.
In my case, the culprit was that the applications were automatically installed in the Internal SD (16gb one) of the phone instead of its flash memory... The end result was that when the phone booted up, looked for the widgets /before/ it had finished mounting and scanning the Internal & External SDs, causing the OS to simply removing the Widgets since it could no longer find them.
Try checking on Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> <Problematic App / Widget> (And if available) -> Move to Phone
Reboot and they should stop disappearing.
This totally works. Using go launcher and unrooted Infuse 4G. Both Grooveshark and audible widgets now stay active in the widgets menu.

Easy fix for that..
In your /system/build.prop add the following as the last line, make sure you hit enter at the end of the line, save the file and reboot.
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
it will lock the launcher in memory so it won't have to reload.
You need to be rooted to do this, and a good file manager is "es-file explorer" look for it in the market, and in its options, remember to activate root access an mount system as read/write.
If I have helped, please click the Thanks button.

OK, well, if you don't want to root your phone, then you will have to have a look at some of the Apps or widgets you have loaded, one of them is taking too much memory. Call htc support, they are quite good.
Only way to add that line in your build.prop file is if your phone is rooted so I can't help you.
Warmly, Marty

I have encountered this problem and a factory reset has solved it.
Are you using HTC Agenda calendar ? For me that was the reason. Try editing it and leave only the calendar that actually needs to be synced ie your gmail.
Thanks Marty. Pikabat, I do use that but I need all the agendas, outlook (exchange) for work, gmail for personal, and facebook just because why not if I can. I really don't want to not use a feature that HTC made, but did not look at how it can affect other applications/sense. HTC needs to give us an update and add that line Marty mentioned (if possible) .. Let me know if there are any better alternatives. Thanks guys!

You can still use the app though right? It's probably just the widget thats causing this problem.
Alternatively, you can use a launcher replacement like Launcher Pro. That's what I did because I got tired of dealing with it refreshing.

Nice Thanks for the tip
Worked Great !
did you install anything recently? I had this problem after installing swype, it would restart after every app install, very annoying
Try defragmenting your micro sd and checking for errors. I had a problem just this morning whenever I go to friend stream widget screen, sense would restart. I defragmented my micro sd and let windows check and fix errors, problem went away after that. Worth a try. Maybe it was just a coincidence though. give it a shot, what have you got to loose.
Try using a different skin (not provided by htc). look in the themes section, it should stop it or at least reduce it's frequency.
Same problem on my girls phone and was in the line with T-Mobile for 1hr one day and 15 mins the next and they are sending her a new phone after a hard reset and removal of the b of a app that suppose to cause all her BS
Oh and they also told me over the phone on the first time I called that HTC was aware and wouldn't trade the phone out for another. So I called 3 days later and I had the option for an LG g2x or another sensation ......... why the option I asked? She said it just popped up on her screen so I'm thinking there is a flaw with this phone. Let me know if anyone else falls in this category.

Ive been haivng this issue for a while now so was running another launcher.
Having read all the threads, I Did this...
Defragged the SD card and I also changed the theme/skin I was running.
It's a branded (ROM) Vodafone sensation, so I changed to the standard HTC theme/skin that looks the same.
And Hey Presto,
no more crashing at all. Not one since yesterday lunchtime.
So not sure if it is the skin or the defrag, but mine isnt crashing anymore at the moment.

Use root explorer or another file manager with root access
Go to system and edit the build prop file

Not sure if CM7 is stable enough for Sensation...
i'm not sure if this has been discussed, so far i haven't seen mention of it, but has anyone else noticed that the Friend Stream app force closes immediately when trying to view a photo on Facebook? i have experienced this on pretty much every Rom i have tried...... anyway, here is a logcat of the force close taking plac, in case this hasn't been discussed yet, and in case anyone might be able to fix it... (wish i could lol). or if there is a fix i can do on my phone myself.....
I looked at your logcat. Your issue is you are using titanium backup. Do a FULL Wipe and format and DO NOT restore using titanium backup. Yes Its going to suck but i guarantee it will fix this issue. Also after the fresh Wipe do a fix permissions in rom manager.
Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using xda premium
Ah ok, thanks for taking a look. I actually have never restored anything with Titanium, and i was thinking that the reason it is popping up in the log was because right before making the force close happen, i had defrosted the alogcat app lol, because i don't want it to run all the time. So i defrosted it with Titanium and went straight to Friend Stream. Could that be why Titanium showed up there? I think the force close happens on fresh installs after wiping....

Freind Stream uses the HTC Gallery to open pics, which is actually pretty cool, because you then have all the options to share, etc. More and more i am realizing that you just can't mess with Sense, it's all so interwoven.
Thanks Undead for the help and sorry for the waste of time.

Same thing happened to me..then after about a month it started working again. I figured there was probably some email that was giving it issues, until enough time passed that it stopped trying that particular one.
Maybe try deleting (or moving) the messages that came in right before it stopped working? (via gmail.com)
I'll look at the specific emails but don't see how that should effect anything. Worth a shot.
