I had got a HTC ChaCha last month but founded that the system reloading itself very frequently, especially the first few slide after the screen lock is released. This happened since open box.
When i said "reloading"...i refer to 2 observation.
1. the phone went black off and then restart back as it is restarted from power button. It show HTC home screen (the one with HTC logo when the phone is on) and then LOADING is shown in the middle of the screen with inactivated Phone's home screen as background .
2. Similar to 1st observation but it doesn't reload from the HTC logo screen.
I uploaded a clip to visualize this. But was not allowed to post external link yet.
Please search in youtube for "lynessmy ChaCha"
Is this a problem? Any solution to this annoying "problem" or should i just accept as it?
The problem you are having is a HTC Sense bug. The Sense is crashing at some point, failing to wake itself up, therefore HTC Sense (only) restarts. That's the reason you are seeing the top status bar with the clock and stuff. Get the latest SW or a custom mod.

I have an att tilt that came stock with wm6.1 pro and i updated it to the new 3.7. something or other ROM from the HTC website and when that was done also bought spb pocket plus. I am having a couple of not so bad but annoying problems
After much trouble, I put the 6 tab version of htc home plugin on the home tab of pocket plus and when the phone is closed and I lock the phone form the htc home programs tab the clock doesn't appear, but it appears like normal when i lock it while the phone is slid open, like i said, nothing big just little bothersom things
And also when the screen is off and black, it will randomly turn on and just have a solid gray screen for usually a few seconds and will shut off again. Is that a sign of something else going wrong?
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated
thanks
[Q] HTC Desire "appears" as if it has the home button stuck, since a recent update
One of our HTC Desire is exhibiting very weird behaviour since a recent update (couple of days ago). It only affects one of the phone, the second one is working fine, both were updated within the same day.
** I will try to post the software version on the next post, I think it's triggering the "No outisde link for new user" error, even though there is no outside link!
This phone only started playing up about a day after the update, not immediately. It sometimes wake up on its own and bring up the "Recent Apps" screen, as if you have long-pressed the Home key. It then switches wildly between that screen and the zoom out (helicopter view?) view of all the home screens. Initially I thought it is hardware problem and the phone is 'screwed' but I think it's more software problem, since it can work normally sometimes.
The wild screen switching made it impossible to use the phone and because it is working constantly, it gets hot and drains the battery. The problem started to get worse when we plugged it into a PC to sync and it started to go crazy. Since the screen switching so wildly, I can't get into the menu to soft reset or turn off the phone properly. So had to hard reset it, and done that more than half a dozen times.
We did have an issue when we first downloaded that recent update, both phones didn't have enough space, so the install crashed out. We freed up more space and both phones appear to have installed the update fine. Well, until a day or so after, one of the phone started playing up.
At the end, I found that if I held down the optical cursor button (very hard work), it seems to hold off the wild screen switching. I can then sort of use the phone as per normal, so that I can join WiFi and change settings & install apps etc.
I noticed that the Rosie Utility is always showing on the "Recent apps" screen. I've never seen that on a normal "Recent Apps" screen before. Not knowing what it was, I googled and learnt that it's the SenseUI. I then compared the SenseUI info with AppKik and the crazy phone is showing a different size 1.9MB (laterly 2.0MB) whereas the working phone is showing 3.0MB, althought both said HTC Sense Version 1.0 com.htc.launcher.
So I figured something must have gone wrong with the SenseUI Launcher and hence it's doing crazy thing. So I downloaded couple of other launchers, LauncherPro and ADW Launcher. They initially seem to work then all of a sudden the crazy screen switching will start and they will get worse. It seems worst if I left it on the main home screen, if I was in an App, it sometimes stay calm for a while.
In frustration, I thought I will backup my SenseUI (rosie.apk) from the working phone using Appkik and then install it on the faulty phone, but the install failed. Probably because it's being used. Tried switch the default launcher to LauncherPro, still the same. May be it needed Root access to replace? So I rooted the phone with UnRevoke3 (after a long struggle getting the correct ADB working) but still can't install the rosie.apk.
Anyhow, after rooting the phone, it mysterously settled down. I could use the phone normally for quite a while, then it started again. Although not as crazy and only intermittently. Haven't used the phone later part of today, so not sure what it's doing at the moment. When I tried the phone this morning, I stumbled across an option to un-update the senseUI, so it's now supposedly switched back to the factory default (Eclair 2.1??) version? The info from Appkik is stil lthe same though.
My question to the experts are ...
1. Can I 'update' just the latest Rosie.APK since the phone update said I already got the latest and no more updates available. ? If so, where and how?
2. If not, can I download a working copy of Rosie.apk from somewhere, and how do I write that over the existing 'possibly' faulty version?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
HTC Desire "appears" as if it has the home button stuck, since a recent update
Attached is the TXT file containing my HTC Desire Software Version details.
For some unknown reason, it won't accept my post if I had the text from this file in the body of the post. It keeps bringing up the error about no 'outside' link for new user.
Update: If I "Cleare Default" on SenseUI in the App2SD settings, then it appears to stop the Screen Switching, but the Home button stops working altogether, the rest of the home screens appear to work normally though. Very weird. I think the problem is definitely to do with corrupted Rosie.apk (com.htc.launcher) .
Hi,
In case it helps anyone else, my home and menu button on an hd desire became intermittently broken in that they would stop working for days.
I followed this and did a clear data on the rosie utility and they work fine now.
Whoop whoop!
Every since the OTA update, whenever I'm in an app and I press the home screen to get back to my home, the screen goes white and shows the green htc logo. After that, for about 15 seconds, I see my apps on my home screen but I get the loading message. When its done with the loading screen, sense is ok again until I go into another app and I press home and the process repeats. Is anyone else having this problem and if so how do you'd fix it?

The update stopped mine from doing this. master reset is prob the going to fix it.
Mine does it too after the update. I figured that it was putting sense to sleep to conserve energy.

Mine used to do it after I played Plants vs. Zombies and still does, and now it also does it after using Netflix.
a hard reset fixed it guys. thanks.
Tried the factory reset, but still remain the same. just installed 12 app (no games) all in internal storage, but still remain problem. Need help! Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I have bought a new HTC sensation phone. I used to have Moto XT502. HTC sensation is in different league. Too much horse power. I had seen sensation lagging or restarting (white screen with HTC logo) some time after hitting home screen button. I have now rooted my device and running Revolution HD 3.6.5. I have noticed that sometimes when I reboot (full reboot), the home screen icons don't show up. Completely blank home screen. I get the icons after pulling notifications or opening settings and then getting back to the home screen. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Everyone,
Has anyone seen this issue? This is reproducible after full reboot. I am using Revolution HD 3.6.5.
I was watching a YouTube video then suddenly screen went green(area where video is shown) and black below navigation bar gone and buttons not working and phone hanged. Out of frustration I forcefully shutdown the phone and then pressed power button but not responding then thought of charging the phone the screen was okay then powered up the phone. I found that the time and date was reset. Is there any problem with my phone
1) either an app is causing the problem
2) maybe the phone is now failing
3) Or some processes caused the phone to hang and reset time and date
I noticed that the phone hangs frequently
