This happens with quite a few apps. Fairly new, maybe since I went to the 1.23 HBOOT. Happens in ICS (VQ) and in my current IC gingerbread 2.3.5 sense 3.5. Rom doesn't seem to matter.
Tmobile US Sensation 4G
I seen a thread about this.. let me look it up.. I believe it has to do with the transition of the ics.

Did you change the screen's density (DPI) to make everything bigger or smaller?
That'll cause this every time.
If you did, the solution is to switch back to stock DPI (240), reboot, and wait about 10 minutes. (I don't know why you have to wait 10 minutes. But you do.)
Then google will give you teh download just fine.
If your problem isn't DPI related...then I dunno
I have indeed, in my 2.3.5/sense 3.5 (Insert Coin) Rom. I had/did not with ICS (VQ)... hrmmmm. *scratching head*
...or maybe I did. Hrmm. time for some experimentation!

I currently own a HTC Desire S running stock rom. S-off using alpharev x beta and rooted using gingerbreak 1.2
Is there any way to get the sense 3.0 lockscreen on my phone. Including all the features or at least most of it. Was thinking that the only way might be to flash a rom onto my phone.
Dude, there's a thread for this not far below this one!
Pardon me being picky, saw that one but was looking for something more similar to the htc sensation one with the icons as well as the ring.

Fair play, then yeah, a ROM will be needed.
I use the virtious unity rom and it has most of the sense 3.0 present including the ring lockscreen complete with options to display photos,weather or clock etc.Also ring lockscreen present n the saga rom i used 5.1 i think and present in sergio 76 coredroid rom.I also think maryland cookie released the lockscreen seperately but Im not sure if it was for 2.1 or 3.0 roms.
I find the sense 2.1 + 3 ROMs a little laggy at the mo. I guess some more optimization will come with later releases.
Honestly, I can't wait for ice cream. If this phone doesn't get it, ill sell it. I want my UI hardware accelerated. It's all Android needs to make it really nice.
try AGILE LOCK,i have it on my desire s,on my desire,on my daughters hd2(pyramid rom)...............nearest you'll get to the sensation lock WITHOUT THE NEED OF A NEW ROM. all the rooting and flashing i've done over 3 years,my desire s is the ONLY PHONE that im keeping the origional stock rom lol,would be nice to have the pyramid rom though lol,would be tempted then lol
hope this helps
Hello guys.
As the topic states, I'm trying to help my friend get the best user experience with the Sensation.
I myself, use a Galaxy S II, and have been using this + Galaxy S I for like 10 months now.
But this guy came to me to show off his brand new Sensation - I tried it - and I thought it TOTALLY sucked!? The UI is really slow and sluggish, not much different from a HTC Hero lol (ok well not that bad, but compared to my CM7nized Galaxy, it looks like a failed toy)
I was really disappointed for him, and I promised I'd find him the best ROM/kernel combination out there.
I thought it was a simply matter of bloatware and bad optimization at HTC's part. So I flashed LeeDroid onto his device, it got a bit better, but animations aren't as fluent as I'd like them. I can even discern the frames per second by eye.. (almost)
Is overclocking the only answer? I saw some kernels which support 1.89GHz, but since I have no knowledge of HTC, I wouldn't dare try.
Questions:
*What's the fastest ROM out there?
*What's making the Sensation so slow compared to Galaxy S II and iPhone 4? You'd think a dual core would run any version of Android easily.
*Do I have to overclock to make the Sensation lag-free?
*Why are there no AOSP roms yet? Is there something preventing this?
*Is his device maybe faulty?
I appreciate your answers.
And please, I didn't come here to troll or flame. Just trying to help my friend, so lets keep it civilized and no Android Phone-rivalry hate

Keep well in mind that YOUR phone has been out MUCH MUCH longer than our Sensations. Also, we JUST got S-OFF recently which leaves very little time to have been developing.
Also, from what I understand, android is not utilizing the sensations dual cores properly, yet. That, along with Sense 3.0, and the lack of hardware acceleration all come together for a less than wow effect. However, with ADW EX (paid) my phone is faster than I can discern. That, and the fact that I froze Sense along with a lot of other stuff with Titanium after I rooted.
Give it time, you will see the Sensation really begin to fly. CM7 is due any day now for us as well...After thats all taken care of, have a look at the sharp look of the Sensation! Its got the looks on the outside right now, and soon someone will give it the looks it can have on the inside. HTC rushed this phone and designed it to appeal to the masses.
Id bet that the phone with ADW EX and Sense 3.0 frozen would look as fast as yours. It may not hang in there, yet, with the benchmarks but your daily use would likely seem to be just as fast. Oh and that is with my stock ROM and no overclock.

I purchased an SGII and was really impressed with the camera.....
and that was all.....
Sold it on ebay 2 days after purchase!
Cheap plastic.....
And if it's that good, why put CM7 on it? It shouldn't need improving should it?
using stock kernel + rom i have 0 lag and phone is amazing...
just used adb method to pause all applications not being used/bloatware
but you could also just delete unused apks with root explorer or whatever you may have since ur already s-off with root
(suggest backing up if you have any problems u can restore apk :| )

'Cause it's been a while since I ran Cyanogenmod, and I wanted to try the latest nightly.
Normally, I use VillainROM which is based on Samsungs sources, but with bloatware removed and deodex/zipaligned apks which is almost just as fast.
Thanks though, I'll forward your tips on freezing all Sense apks and run ADW Launcher EX instead (incidently, this is the launcher I use on my own phone and yes, i love it too.)
But no ROM or Kernel recommendations? Aww, I went through all this S-Off crap for nothing?
Give a dog a bone
Try any 2.3.4 ROM (I'm using InsertCoin). The phone will be much faster

Titanium Backup Pro. I'm not sure what all exactly you need to freeze, but I'm sure anything with "Sense" in it you'd want to freeze.

Try Android Revolution HD 2.1.0, I just flashed this last night. Really impressed. Loads faster and still using the stock kernel for 2.3.4
Custom kernel's are on there way for this rom too which should make it fly.
Btw, does your friend have/had the newest 2.3.4 OTA? It improves speed as well
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
2.3.4 version of the custom rom i am using has definitely made a big speed improvement over 2.3.3
He is on LeeDroid rom now, I believe its 2.3.4 based! Right??
yeah it is based on 2.3.4
lol, yet another Galaxy troller
PLEASEEEE use the P3D Neon V4 ROM and use the kernel it comes with. Honestly, it's the best ROM I have used on the Sensation. Flash that, look at the UI and it'll make you wish you could have Sense 3.0 on your GalaxyS2. Make sure you also flash the 4.1 update on top!
It's smooth, has good battery life, and has a sexy theme with a lot of eye-candy that doesn't slow the phone down. If you don't believe me, please flash it and report back with what your friend says. Don't report back with what you thought of it, just what he thought because I don't wanna read a biased post lol.
Also, when we finally get CM7, the speed will be on-par with any other dualcore device.

so hy again, so when exit Cut the rope or internet my HTC Sense crach/restart all the time, someone told me that some App cause that , I am confused , what should i do !?

I've had a lot of random reboots because I hadn't flashed properly PG58IMG. Make sure you do flash it properly, and get HBOOT 1.20.
My sensation is not rooted or S-Off , software version is 2.3.4
I remember having the same issues with my Sensation stock ROM. Sense would restart out of a sudden. Personally I think it was related to the Flash app. I know this restart of Sense used to happen more often after I had done some browsing and opened websites that had flash content. I could be wrong.

I found that in the earlier days (about 4 months ago) the sensation had a lot of random reboots but with the newer ROMs I have tried that they have gone away, if you aren't adverse to rooting/S-Offing your phone and flashing a new ROM i would encourage it
Thanks all I have solved it by removing some widgets on home screen
I got the same issue. Sense restart when using heavy applications.
It seems to be related to RAM.
Safe booted
I've been having Sens restarts more often in the last few weeks.
I soft reset (according to HTC support) and now I'm in safe boot as the soft didn't make a difference. Nor did going from HTC batt to 3rd party batt (someone had mentioned that a chip in the OEM batt might be the cause).
If the problem seems to clear with root and custom ROM, I assume that would void the warrantee as there is no way back or am I wrong?
I wouldn't mind getting rid of some of the bloatware and having a stable phone.
That happened to me a lot until I rooted and flashed a custom rom (InsertCoin to be specific). It's most likely a memory issue because Sense 3.0 is a big memory hog and the Sensation only has 768 mb compared to a full gig on other devices. Try uninstalling some applications and removing widgets and that should help.
after rooting to AHRD ICS 4.0.3, 3.25.401.101 etc. it takes a little while to go from 3G to H, what im trying to say is it takes a while to do anything that has to do with the internet, thats the 1st small issue, is there a fix for this?
the other issue is after rooting my phone, alot of games from the market force close and say there not compatible with the device or somethin like that...there has to be a fix for this, before rooting i was able to download any game and never had a problem, but now all the "big" games force close right away.
if anyone can help me with these issues please post, thank you all.
Data connections are a known issue on ics roms
As for games have you changed your density settings?

For a couple of weeks now the RUU for the HTC one S is out but i still can't find a ROM with bluetooth working. How is it that this still doesnt work and any other feature (hardware) was fixed within 4/5 days.
besides that, why are like 5 and more roms which all contains the RUU of the S, and futher only a downloadable kernel. I dont see the difference in a those roms, except for the developers own opinion of spamware. I believe there is a rom which uses install menu, so why not do the follow:
- make one basic rom
- fix what gotta be fixed
- and make a install menu where you can choice all app's to be installed. where only maps, telephone, message, play and browser is basic (maps since is not downloadable)
no offense but for me (as a noob, i can't deny that) it looks like where wasting time just because people are donate- & thanks- horny, where the mean goal should still be offering the user costumized or fully ported roms
well, when the fix comes out, every chef will put that on his rom...so, if you can't find a rom with BT working, is means that there is no fix out...
for your "ideal rom" I agree, there are too many customised roms, i like the stock feel (and I use arhd), if you want something like that I think that ordroid is the best stock like rom...is not working just bluetooth...
I still use arhd until an official relase of sense 4 will be relased...
I am also anxious to use sense 4, but the source has got bugs in it, and the chefs are helpless on this.

Mainly coz the user's don't post logcats?
If someone gave me a logcat of Bluetooth turning on/off in settings it can help pin down the file causing it then reference what has changed in Sense 4 to sense 3.6 then hopefully get it working.
As it is it will be difficult because the Bluetooth for sense 4 is Bluetooth 4.0 whereas sensation us only capable of Bluetooth 3.0 so there is probably a huge variation in the files

didn't it worked at the RUU of the one X, which also had bluetooth 4.0?
