Pressing home screen causes HTC logo to pop up - HTC Sensation

It seems when I press the home button or just press "back" enough times to end up at home, the screen displays the HTC logo for a time then actually gets to the home screen. It's almost as if it's rebooting every time I go home, but music applications continue to play.
I am not rooted nor have I installed any custom firmware on my sensation. Is it just a lack of RAM?

seems like the sense UI is restarting. do u have installed any launcher ?

I have not installed any custom launchers.

is this not a common issue among sensation owners?
maybe I need to flash a custom rom that's more optimized...

Happened to me as well (so far, I've only seen it twice since buying the device (XE) 3 weeks ago). I'm on the stock ROM.
It seems when there are too many apps active, which require too much RAM, Android unoads Sense from memory.
You check what you have installed and running (not only in Task Manager, but also in the "Running Services" tab of the application manager.

This is very common; it's just an aspect of Sense. Some ROMs do it more than others but they all do it to some degree. I see it happen most often when you're running a lot of apps at the same time and then hit home.

I have started getting this recently, I assume it came with an alleged "upgrade".
The really useful people at HTC told me it was my fault for installing applications and suggested I do a factory reset.
As stated above, if you kill some apps, it seems to stop it.
I have also, with my limited ability tried to stop some stuff from loading.
If there was a guide somewhere to managing what loads, I think that would help a lot with this problem.

It's because there's not enough memory for it, forcing it to be closed and restarted. Rather common on these phones, and either you need nothing installed on the phone, or just use a different launcher that doesn't take as much memory to run. As soon as I changed launcher it runs perfectly. As soon as I change back the problem resurfaces.

android memory will auto shut any other program when the current program does not have enough memory...

Get spare parts and set the autokiller option to normal

I suggest you root and add (all the way at the bottom) line "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" (without the quotes) to build.prop in /system
Problem solved.

no doubt there are many users on here who are quite happy to root their phone, or prepared to install "Spare Parts".
At my level of ability, I would appreciate being given information as to how to control this behaviour. I think the solution lies in being able to prevent some applications from running automatically on start-up and in effectively, that is, permanently, shutting down applications. I find that using task killers, the applications start running themselves again.
it does seem to me that the android system has a serious defect as no consumer is going to tolerate a situation where, every time one wants to carry out a task on the phone, one has to wait approximately 30 seconds. The level of documentation supplied with the system is quite atrocious.

ballyhooo, I think you and I are on the same line on this.
There's definitely a bug there and I think HTC should be aware of it!!
I don't see the point for HTC to let everyone down the "root" avenue ... or may be I'm missing something.
How could we take it further?
All the Best

You do realise you don't need to be rooted to change launcher, right? It's as simple as going to the market and picking one you like.

[Q] Stock myTouch 4g, 100% CPU

Hi All,
I have a mt4g which is rooted with S=Off. I switch between the Sense launcher and Launcher Pro Plus. Usual apps on the phone, not too many.
For last week or so, I have been seeing that sometimes the phone gets really really laggy and Norton Util tells me that the CPU is 100%.
Also, I think most of the times, when this happens, I see a Sync icon up top. I do not sync a lot, just 2 GMail Inboxes and weather (every 6 hours). But I do see that Sync icon most of the times when this lagging happens.
I have tried removing apps, but this still seems to be a problem. I have see somewhere that turning the USB debugging to ON has helped many, but did not work for me.
I tried CM7 RC1 when it was out, but didnt like it (stock camera etc...) and I restored back to my stock ROM. Could this have done something?
Thanks
Ravneet
On your home screen hit menu key. Go to settings. Select accounts and sync. See what all is listed there. Chances are something with sense is constantly syncing.
Disable everything from syncing. See if the problem goes away. If so turn on one thing at a time until you find the culprit.
Hope that puts you in the right direction.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Have tried that. When I go there nothing is synching. Strange.
I have tried to remove all accounts from synch but still see the problem.
Went into recovery and wiped the cache about a hour ago. So far so good. Hope it stays this way.

I've noticed that there are apps that as soon as i download them, and open them that my cpu will go to 100% until I reboot my phone. System panel is a good app that isn't too obtrusive that will tell you exactly what app is doing what.
Have you installed anything new lately?
I uninstalled everything new.
Moreover I think every time this happens the battery is less than 30%. Maybe in low battery profile there are some apps which are over utilizing the CPU.

@NicGraner: Why would the stock ROM have problems with being rooted?
I am still having this problem. Uninstalled everything that is not important.
The phone just becomes unusable and I have to reboot. Un-installed Watchdog Lite too, as I thought since it is monitoring, it is taking up some CPU in background too.
No widgets on the home screens.
I guess I am gonna do a full refresh using the PDxxx.zip and go back to stock stock and then see what happens. not sure if I will lose my root once I do that.
Try the royal glacier rom it's solid stable and the sh!t
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/stop-t-mobile-from-being-bought-by-att/.......
I returned 5 phones for this exact problem, then I finally got one where the usb debugging trick actually worked. Before that I was just using OSmonitor from the market to see when I was hitting 100% then I would have to yank the battery as that was the only thing that would make it stop.
When I got this new phone I installed os monitor and waited for it to happen again, which it did, then I turned on usb debugging and watched my cpu usage graph drop to 0%. SUCCESS! Unfortunately since this was my 6th phone this solution seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
I did a lot of poking around on google trying to fix this and found a lot of people with different results. Try disabling t mobile sync and go to the myaccount app in the market and uninstall the updates. If that doesn't work try getting a new sim card and sd card, or just keep returning phones until t mobile offers to send you a g2x...
Also if you search around you'll see that this isn't just a problem with the mt4g. I found multiple threads where this happens on the nexus one, and several galaxy s phones. I really hope google is aware of this.

@johnsmith970: Thanks for the info. I will try calling TMO tonight and see what they say.
I am really bugged by this now. The phone gets totally unusable once this happens.
They will say to do a factory reset. Every tech support person I talked to told me to do that. This didn't solve the problem for me at all. It still exhibited the same symptoms on a fresh reset and not even signed in to google.
I would advise calling htc support just to let them know you are having this problem. Sending back a half a dozen phones per customer can't be good for anyones wallet or their peace of mind.

I have no idea why the stock rom doesn't like being rooted it's just what's been said and the solution which is most widely given (and mostly worked unless theres an underlying problem) is to flash a custom rom.
OK! I have more information for anyone interested.
I am tracking processes now in OS Monitor app from Market.
Most of the times it is the bluetooth daemon (bluetoothd) that goes bonkers. I was connected to my GPS in my car while driving, and when I came out of the car...the bluetoothd is going bonkers...looks like it may be trying to 'find' the device it was connected to. At the same time logcat2 process is also utilizing 30+% of the CPU.
I turned off Bluetooth and both the processes went away
So let me see if this sticks for couple of days.
Thanks

[Q] Strange graphic issues (Hardware problem?)

Hi,
my girlfriend got her Sensation this week and the phone got some strange graphic issues. They only appear on two of the homescreens and NOT in the lockscreen and NOT in other apps.
Please see the attachments for review. These lines change the position from time to time. The widgets used there are used by me too and i have no problems with them.
It seems to be a problem with the gpu i think. But it's very strange that these issues only appear on two homescreens.
What do you think? Do we have to send it back to T-Mobile to get a replacement?
Or is this a "known issue". Btw - The FOTA is not rolled out by ******* T-mobile.
Regards
Daniel
Try taking the battery out without turning the phone off first. Then put it back in and boot it back up. That fixed some nasty issues for my GF's brand new Samsung Exhibit.

That's the problem many of us are having, especially with third-party widgets.
Someone here mentioned that the OTA update fixed the problem for them, but I haven't seen anyone else confirm this yet.
I have it recurring somewhat too. When it starts happening, often I can remove the widget and replace it and that will fix it. Sometimes I have to do a restart.
The interesting thing is that i use the "same" ROM as base on my Desire HD (Virt. Unity 1.27) and i have none of that...

its definately a software issue, and mostly related to 3rd party apps...this happens for me with; dictionary widget, current widget, and the stock connectivity widget
The widget in the pic is from HTC Hub
I got the widget from HTC Hub and it's powered by Google.
This happened to me and my buddy on our sensations this fixed it, havent had it since.
1.) Delete the widgets its happening too
2.) Disable Fast Boot
3.) Turn off phone and turn back on (not restart)
4.) Put widgets back
i am using Android Revolution HD 1.1.7, and i get this problem on -
BeyondPod
AudioManager
I had this problem on my stock rom and on the AR rom, it may be app related but not sure. What i am sure of is the problem is following me around
Same problem here on Android Revolution HD 1.1.7 (installed after Super Wipe). Deleting the widgets that caused trouble and adding them back seemed to cure the problem.
I am facing this issue since the first day, I took the device to HTC Care center, and after two days they informed me that the problem is not in the device. Those old widgets were designed for old resolution devices, and since our device has higher resolution with more advanced screen, then the widgets developers shall keep this in mind in their new widgets versions

NOT completely true, this happens to me with HTC's power control and google search widgets, and exclusively with those two widgets, removing and adding the widgets help but it comes back every once in a while, still don't know what triggers the issue though.

[Q] Turning off HTC Sense... Benefits?

Ok, So I searched through some of the battery threads and no one mentioned turning off HTC sense... So does turning it off and using just a simple launcher help with battery life?
For some reason my battery is being murdered, and I haven't done anything different. I am assuming my battery may be shot, but I don't feel like buying a new one, when I will probably be getting a new phone soon. I am, however, going to use some of the pointers I found in other threads, such as system tuner to under-clock my phone.
I have considered a system reset as well, have no idea if that could help, but may be worth a try.
I wondered the same thing.
If you qant tht, just use pyranid3d xe nosense version. Its no sense but still has all sense apps like music etc
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Might be because the widgets and apps you're using are causing the phone to be constantly on. (i.e. Facebook refreshing every 15 minutes would drain battery faster as opposed to once an hour.)
Sense could be part of your problem, but it's definitely not your biggest one. I would attribute it to something like mobile data always on or something similar.

Anyone else disappointed with multitasking?

I'm coming from a samsung vibrant and although it's slower it seems like it multitasks a lot better. I'm pretty sure this is due to sense taking up way too much ram. The phone is pretty fast opening up apps and I'll probly end up keeping it but I'm very disappointed in the multitasking. Also I can't count how many times I have pressed the home screen button and it has to reload the home screens because it runs out of ram. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes I have thought about rooting it but I'm kinda scared. I'm not new to rooting phones( I've rooted every Android phone I have had) but this one scares me because of no removable battery. My vibrant was nice because of a program called Odin that saved me quite a few times when I've had a bad flash. Odin was a program that would flash the phone back to stock firmware no matter what happend to your phone which made the vibrant virtually unbrickable. Does HTC have any software that will do that?

Oh and if hold the power button for ten seconds or so it will do a hard reset of the phone no matter if the phone is stuck in a boot loop or not. I was stuck in a boot loop because I was trying to theme something and it was just boot looping and I held the power button and sure enough it turned off the phone and I was able to get into boot loader again.

lol, I watched that video before I bought this phone however, what the video doesn't show is that when you click on a app in the recent apps menu it usually has to reload the app so its not really truly multitasking. Android has a built in task manager that closes out the other apps when it needs more ram for the new app and because sence is a ram hog sometimes It will only allow me to run one app at a time. And i never said the phone sucks, I just said I was disappointed. I like the phone and I even like sence, ( its very sexy) but it uses way to much ram. Probably doesn't help that my home screens are loaded with Widgets too. : P

My vibrant would also do a hard reset when you hold the power. However when I would bootloop and did that it would only reboot into a bootloop. Are u saying that you can reboot into recovery this way during a boot loop? I also had a Motorola cliq that I almost bricked but was able to pull out my SD card and put it in my computer so I could put another file on it and reflash the rom. With no external SD I am also hesitant.

"Loading" message on the home screen is caused by enabling a setting in "Developer options" called "Dont"t keep activities". This setting instructs the phone to "destroy" every activity as soon as you leave it. So in essence, everytime you leave the home screen to do anything else, the phone "destroys" HTC Sense. The loading message is HTC Sense being restarted once you exit to the home screen. Unchecking this "feature" will eliminate the "Loading" message.
Destroy activities seems clear by default. Was wondering if anyone played with the background process setting though...it has a default and 1-4 processes allowed.

I think I hit it by mistake while in the developer options. It was only after being in here that the "loading" started happening. Clearing it resolved it for me. Not sure how the background processes setting changes things. I left it at default.
forget the developer options or scripts. they don't help.
as many of you know there're no multitasking issues on other recent android phones. you can leave games or streaming apps and come back to them half an hour later and still be in the same spot. with HOS as soon as you leave them, you're going to start over. the oom values don't help much with the situation as the phone has plenty of memory for any applications. the issue isn't the memory available, but how the phone manages saved states and KERNEL is responsible for that. so until a talented soul would be able to fix it on KERNEL level for us we're are stuck with it.
I have a Vibrant that I still mess with, if you ask me Odin sucks big time. It's more of a crutch then anything if you ask me. Of all the 5 android devices I hate the Vibrant the most. That being said it still is a good phone and the one I use currently is run Slim ICS.
I can tell you that you don't have to worry about the non-removable battery. Holding down the power button will always power off the phone. No need for a battery pull.
I can also tell you that multitasking SUCKS on the stock One S rom. The phone reloads apps much much more often then my other android devices.

[Q] Slow Sensation XE (ICS 4.0.3)

I have an XE that is extremely slow at doing everything. When I update apps, go through a menu, load my text messages, exit from a game. Even silly stuff like loading my contacts (and I don't have many). Sometimes after doing one of the above and go to return to my home screen, I get a white screen with the htc logo in the middle, followed by a loading screen. It's really annoying too as it can take a good 10 seconds until my widgets etc. are back and my home screen is responsive.
I updated it to ICS a few months back and it's been like it ever since. When gingerbread was on my phone I never really had any problems. It can't be memory as I have over half free, and I don't have many apps.
I'm quite disappointed because I moved from the iPhone, wanting something a bit more open and powerful, and I thought this was the perfect kinda phone for that.
I've looked around XDA to see if anyone else has the same problem, but I've come across nothing.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Are you on Vodafone? The vodafone ICS update has that issue. One thing to try is to disable "fast boot" from the settings, switch off the phone, remove the battery and restart it.
Apparently bad hibernation files can cause that issue. Personally I ended up installing a custom rom to solve the issue. Vodafone has been very unresponsive on this issue which many have experienced!
