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.

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:

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.
Try it at own risk, I am not responsible for any problems. It worked for me
This is my second sensation with the same issue. I got my second sensation approximately 6 days ago, after my first sensation developed the lock screen issues. Well today I started to experience the same lock screen issues that plagued my first sensation. Well I did a little checking around and I think I might have found a solution to the problem. I have an app installed called mybackup pro. I have been using this app for a while and it has come in real handy in restoring my phone. There is a free version available in the market. I used the paid version. I opened mybackup pro, and I just like to say that I DON'T HAVE anything to do with the app in regards to any monetary gain, basically I just use the app. I opened the ap, i clicked on cancel for the password, clicked on back up, data, local (/mnt/sdcard) check all, and let it back up all the settings. Well I went into my settings/applications/manageapplications/all. i then clicked on the first htc sense tab and cleared the data. You will be prompted with something to the pop up stating that all the applications data will be permanently deleted. I clicked ok and then clicked on the second htc sense tab and did the same thing. You will notice that all your widgets and everything will be deleted from your phone. I rebooted my phone and then opened mybackup pro and clicked on restore, data, local (/mnt/sdcard), data and the most resent date, I ONLY CHECKED MARKED SYSTEM SETTINGS, ANDROID HOME, AND CLICKED ON OK. Let it do its thing and when it is finished it will ask you to reboot your phone. Your phone should be extremely close to the way you had it before (widget wise). And in my case my lock screen is working again. I hope this helps anyone else. Again, It worked for me.

Please update this thread periodically even if your method doesn't work.
Did this allow sense to operate more smoothly on your device?
I don't even understand what the issue was meant to be in the first place!!
Sorry for the long entry but i was trying to be as specific as i possibly could for everyone, and yes my lock screen responds perfectly.
This post was meant for anyone experiencing lockscreen unresponsiveness on their phones.

I already tried clearing the data from both Sense applications and then rebooted my phone. I didn't make a back up of everything so Sense was back to the way it came from the factory. Long story short. It didn't work for me. I still had the lock screen issue.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
also another trick to faulty lockscreen found on another post, when the phone lay flat on table lock seems to be trouble to unlock unless u pick the phone up in ur hands...but if u have it laying on table flat and grab left side of lock and drag it to the left and the up it works everytime for me...seems the left part of the lockscreen is always ok lol (something to do with phone being grounded)
Ok, the only difference is that I restored my settings using mybackup pro. Could that have been the difference.

I think the way the app and ring move together is what causes the lock issue. I think its just the physics of the ring/app moving together causing the issue. Thats my guess. Other than the lockscreen buggy I have no touch screen issues. YOU?
Wifi problem and as of today the lock screen issue started. He lockscreen issue has been resolved.

Yup, I think I agree with that. There are some issues that just don't make any sense though. Why does it become responsive after touching the ring two to three times. It will stay responsive like it should until you turn the display off. I just can't wrap my finger around it.
Could it be something with sense?

Probably is. I seriously don't know why everyone praises HTC. They are going in the wrong direction with Sense. Instead of making it less intrusive, there making it more intrusive with SENSELESS eye candy. HTC needs to take a page out of Samsung's book in my opinion. There making there UI (Touch Wiz) less intrusive but still keeping the features that make Android better.
Sorry to say but this 3D eye candy isn't making anything better and it's quite obvious HTC half assed Sense 3.0.

Are you charging this via the stock charger, or via USB pc? If using a wall charger is the outlet grounded or the old two prong style outlet? I had this issue when using the stock charger in an ungrounded outlet when I was at a friends house for the week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Yes i am using the stock charger
I don't know if this works for you guys .. but I had that lockscreen issue as well. I noticed that when I play with my wifes phone its perfectly smooth and unlocks with a single swipe. And she can unlock mine easily and never been a problem.The only thing difference is that she didn't take off that screen protector. I have oily skin type so I guess it must be my finger getting sticky. Went to tmobile and got a screen protector and it solves all the problem. Sounds silly but it worked for me and I haven't had a single lockscreen issue in four days as opposed to 4 out of five times before. Hope this helps ..

Hi,
Sorry then.
Not much that I can suggest,because you cannot get "under the hood" as it were ,without root.
I would be dubious about rooting the phone or anything,if it's not working properly out of the box.
You might consider sending it back.

When you say restarting, is it just stopping everything and showing the HTC screen before loading sense again? If so, it's because the phone doesn't have enough memory. Delete some apps, and if that still doesn't help, download a different launcher from the market.
I never had any restarting issues, but in the past three days the phone has restarted itself (completely restarted, not just the lag getting back to the home screen) randomly at least six times that I know of.
Other than the Amazon App Store, I'm not aware of any software updates that I've downloaded or installed in the last week. Anyone else have this issue just crop up in the past couple of days?
Mine has randomly restarted while it was in my pocket, and twice as I moved the unlock ring to the middle of the screen to use the phone.
Edited to add: I'm running a stock phone from T-Mobile with Android 2.3.4.
HTC Sense version 3.0
Software number 1.45.531.1
Kernel 2.6.35.13-g3422292

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.

If u push back while ur in the app it will close...u have to make sure u push the home button.

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, first of all I want to say this is the best Rom I have ever used and it is very fast and fluid.
The only time it ever slows sluggishness seems to be when I leave an app and go back to the smokescreen. It can sometimes take up to 3 seconds to bring me back. After swiping back and forth the home screen becomes very fluid.
I'm thinking that the home screen may not be stored in the ram. Any suggestions or ideas? I did not do a full wipe when coming from 1.0.1 BTW. Could this be the culprit? I would rather not dopey phone if I don't have too.
Thanks a ton guys!

Hi you might want to post this on the vipers development web site. They know the issues best with this Rom . Hope this helps. Best wishes . Perhaps they know of a trick to stop the lag your referring to . I do know a full wipe is not necessary but HIGHLY recommended . I read this when I was running viper. So you might want to back up your apps and data using something like titanium backup and try the full wipe then restore the apps through titanium and see if this solves you're issue . Hope it works for you!

You should use Memnoc's RAM & Sd Card Cache hack and reflash 3.32 firmware so installing a other kernel helps and set min free settings all to 64MB
