I recently upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and have the stock ROM. Now when I'm e.g listening with Spotify and surfing on the web after I press the home button, the HTC splash screen will appear and the home screen starts to load. On 2.3.3 I never had this to happen, but now it seems to occur even on light use. What keeps shutting down Sense?
Happens to me from time to time and im still on 2.3.3. I also want to know what causes these random sense reboot

happens to me on 2.3.3 only when i exit the browser after heavy browsing...and must add its very irritating.
I had this problem when using Camera. Had to pull-out battery. After few times the problem disappeared. Since using custom ROMs, never had this problem again.
Hello all,
I upgraded my sensation to official 2.3.4 and I'm experiencing the same issue. After going into apps, it could be browser / peep / third apps and even sms app, htc sense keeps rebooting with a disgraced white screen ...
I had also this kind of issue with 2.3.3 but it wasn't so frequently, i really hope HTC will fix that soon cause it's really embarassing.

Hello everyone,
I had this problem very often when I was using stock HTC Sense, but since I started using other ROMs the problem has completely disappeared. I remeber this being very annoying, and sometimes the HTC screen would come up everytime I went back to home! This happened more often when I had the Friend Stream Lockscreen applied.
Now, I'm not entirely sure of what I am saying, but I am just trying to help, if anyone knows better please confirm/correct what I am saying:
This white screen is due to the HTC Sense launcher rebooting. I believe this is because the phone runs out of RAM, and thus shuts down applications.
What I found helpful to kinda fix the problem:
Download the app "Android System Info" from the Play Store. Once downloaded, open it, and go to the "Tasks" tab. Press menu and sort by memory usage. Now you see all your processes (no need for root) sorted by memory usage. You can notice that HTC Sense is often on the top, using up most of the RAM.
Now you problably think: "Why doesn't my phone exclude HTC Sense from the apps it can kill to free memory?". Well I think this happens when another app uses even more RAM than HTC Sense, and the phone then believes the other application is more important, and shuts HTC Sense down, and it then needs to reboot. I noticed that when I had applied the Friend Stream Lockscreen, it was often using about the same amount of RAM as HTC sense, and when it actually used more, and the phone ran out of RAM (for example during heavy browsing), HTC Sense was shut down.
So the way to fix this is to find out which process uses most of the RAM when it shouldn't (not the process "android system" for example), using Android System Info. Either it is, as for my case, one of the cool features of HTC Sense, then you should disable it or it is another application, then you should either uninstall it, which you probably won't because it is an important application, in which case you would have to limit its use.
At least you know what application is causing the problem, but look rather at different times on your phone, to see which process CONSTANTLY uses a lot of RAM. If you are browsing, it is normal that your browser uses up a lot of RAM for example.
This is not a perfect fix, I still experienced Sense reboots after doing that (disabling HTC Friendstream Lockscreen for me), but less often, and this helps without having to root your phone or change ROM.
This is very annoying, and HTC should have fixed this by now, or should had put more RAM in the Sensation to cover that high usage, but I believe they fixed it with Sense 4.0 (going on the new HTC One series), which we won't have for a long time, by making HTC Sense use less RAM.
Please press the "Thank" button if I helped.
Hey everybody. I have a HTC Sensation 4G and I personally think it's a pretty amazing phone. However, I have a real problem with HTC Sense because it constantly restarts on me every time I exit intensive apps like Angry Birds. I get the white screen with the green HTC letters for about 15 seconds and it's really annoying. I rooted the phone permanently and flashed the newest Insert Coin ROM because I thought it would help. Unfortunately, HTC Sense still restarts almost every time I exit the same intensive apps. Any solutions?
If it helps, I do have a lot of apps installed but as far as I can tell, they aren't doing that much. This is from the Services tab under Settings.
Hello,
I've tried searching but I cant seem to find anything about this, I recently upgraded my wife's Sensation 4G to ICS but now the phone suffers from the white HTC loading screen for about 5-10 seconds every time I exit any application. Is there a solution for this I'd like to keep this phone as stock as possible.
Thanks in advance.
Not enough ram. Too much is running so to save ram, the Sense launcher is killed. That kind of shouldn't be happening. Without being rooted, you can try remove some of her applications that are running in the background or factory reset the device and try again.
You can also tell her to hold Home and swipe unneeded applications to the left or right to dismiss them, hopefully this will close applications before the Sense launcher is killed.
I have the same phone and I had the same issue happen to me. What I ended up doing (and believe me it works) is I went to Settings>Apps>All>HTC Sense (the one with the green HTC Logo) and click on it and disable that one. Now go back to Settings>Apps>All>HTC Sense (the one with the picture of the home screen but in a tiny version and click on that and "Clear Data" and thats half the problem. For some reason it seems like HTC didnt integrate the "New" HTC Sense with the old one so they keep messing eachother up "allegedly." Well now for the last steps, So now you go back to Settings>Develop Options and scroll to the bottom and you need to uncheck the option that says "Don't Keep Activites" and make sure "Background Process Limit" is set to Standard Limit. Then restart the phone and your phone should be back to normal It took me all day yesterday to figure it out so hope everything works out for anyone having this same issue
Hi all,
The home screen of my HTC One X with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is not showing up at all.
I am able to go to settings, answer and make call, use applications from the Notification bar like WhatsApp, Email, etc.
However, when I press the Home button, I see a blank screen.
I changed my Wall paper from the Settings, and the Lock Screen shows the changed wall paper.
But when I unlock, all I see is a blank screen,
han anyone seen such an issue ?
Any help ?
From what i read you are on a custom rom right ? So try going to stock or another custom to see if the problem persists.

Nope.
I'm on STOCK ROM. Non-rooted.
But to give a little history : I was writing some simple Android Apps, no System services or anything. And I particularly spent some time in fixing a crash for an Application which is using Fragments. Got a LOT of crashes. But eventually, I fixed the issues and the App was working fine. I am seening this Home Screen disappearance issue after that only.
I have uninstalled that App now, but the problem persists
Since you are on stock, you can try a factory reset. If that doesn't work download the ruu for your phone and run it. Back everything up though, before running the ruu.

Hey guys new to the forum and somewhat to rooting (rooted my droid x). I rooted my s3 about two weeks ago using the causal root process and loaded the HYPERDRIVE ROM, which by the way, im really enjoying it. Im having some issue with the Pandora App. When i start it up, it will show the play screen and the loading icon. I have shut it down brought it back up, reboot, lock screen and unlock screen, uninstalled and re installed, wipe cache, even installed the "FREE" Pandora One App. After about 20- 25 mins trying to get it to play, it will run and not miss a beat until i close it out and try and start it up again. I have perfect 4g and also have tried doing it over wifi with same results. Can anyone help out or give any advice on how to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Rick
