Not a single one. Not on any of my apps as a matter of fact.

thats strange. i just got mine yesterday and have had a few. kinda annoying at times.

I think someone in another thread said a hard reset fixed it for him. I think, when I get my phone, the first thing I will do is give it a hard reset. Then, if I have problems, I'll know a hard reset won't fix it since I already did one.

Nah, I haven't had any and my Sensation is going on 3 days straight without a reboot or using a task killer app. It's still running smooth with over 250 mb of free memory.

I was having Sense FC issues like every 5 minutes, it all started when I changed "Scenes". I did a factory reset and a battery pull and I haven't had a FC in 24 hours. I also haven't changed "Scenes" yet either. I think I like the previous version of Sense more than 3.0, but I am not complaining not even a little bit. I love this friggin phone!

been having this issue also, i disabled the sync and it hasnt happened since.

I've been having a ton of Sense FCs, might have to do the hardreset.... no biggie I guess as long as it fixes it.

*Sensation is one I find it most beneficial devices about a month after release. If you have other devices that use lines of previous HTC devices or reading about it on the xda, but that device error more than Sensation.
*Sensation errors on mainly by the software (ROM). Sensation's hardware have to say is excellent. I think the errors of Sensation after being unlocked bootloader will be fixed (Rom, Kernel, Driver ....)

nice. thanks for the input everyone.

so where are we on this?
What are the conclusions?:
1:Hard reset ... I'd like it to be my last resort. But did it work for you guys?
2:someone on another thread recommended changing from Sense to adw
3: anything else?
I iniataly thought sense was dropped from memory, but I saw in parameters somewhere that it runs in protected area so ca be the culprit at least alone.
There's got to be a better answer!
I'm quiet positive that it has to do with badly written widget or app.
Now how could we approach this?:
could we list all our linked apps??
Any better idea??
This has to be fixed!

I have the same problem with mine.
Sense looks the part but the white screen with logo + loading annoyes me too...
Did you get the problem solved one way or another?
It is, in my opinion, the only downside on my Sensation XE

Are you on ICS, if so move all your apps to phone memory sense will force close.

At this point my phone is on standard software as delivered by HTC. Should I move all added programs to internal memory or move as much as possible to memory-card ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

I need info about your sense version and android version. If it is v3.6 and ICS then you must move all apps to internal memory.

It is on Android 2.3.4 and HTC Sense 3.0.
Are there newer versions available? Auto updates is "on" in setup so i would think phone should update itself ? Greetz and thanks for your aswer.

With too many apps open it happens again. Must be a memory and closing sense-problem. Is there no possibility to select programs like Sense and 3g-watchdog to remain allways open? Movings apps back to internal memory seems not possible with the software I've got....

If you ever find à solution, let us know.
I wrote to HTC and got an answer: in summary wipe all out and restart!
Kind of a joke.

Best solution is to root and S-off so you can flash another ROM like Viper S1.1.0
This is wat better than stock!

Replacing the personalize button?

I was wondering with all these nice themes, is it impossible to replace the personalize button with something more useful? I feel like messages should be there or something...

Yeah I feel the same way.

Same here, maybe browser-messages-or market would be useful

This remaps it to browser...

??? The question was remapping a Sense button, not replacing the whole launcher lol. Not everyone (Me included) likes launcherpro and/or the others.

Launcher Pro let's you CHOOSE which button to remap. I used it before on my HTC DHD and remapped my personalize button into several different apps/system functions.

Developers prefer to keep their roms as stock as possible to decrease chances for any problem. Also, just like how some like to remap buttons, some people don't want to as well.
That's why some devs just make it a flashable package or recommend which mod/app for those that want to do it.

This, on the sense roms for my HD2, there used to be an app that let you customize it, with simple modifications I bet we can get it working on sense 3.0
Now just to remember the name...

Launcher Pro is far from Sense 3.0.
I'm sure 99% of people in this forum are well aware you can replace the launcher, but his question is specifically for modifying a component of HTC Sense - remapping the Personalize soft key to browser/messaging/etc.
As far as I know, there is no personalize soft key on LP either, unless you're talking about using a Sense theme with LP..? :-/
This has been done on previous versions of Sense and i'm sure someone could get it working with 3.0 too if they wanted.
I know this was done on the MT4G, I'll attempt to find that thread for reference.

Here's the mod for the MT4G with MySense and Sense 2.1...

I wonder if this mod would work on the Revolution HD rom, since that rom uses Sense 2.1 instead of 3.0? Hmmm..

I've tried many launchers including launcher pro but it doesn't support qhd wallpapers so its a big turn off for me, and I'm actually taking a liking to 3.0

New ROM idea!!!

So I see we have a great line up of roms here for our phones but I have yet to see a combo of CM7 & sense. I mean cm7 had its benefits but so does sense why not make the best of both world? Anyways just trying to introduce a new idea. Also sorry if this is in the Wong section.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

No not it the wrong place. Let me try to answer this. It is kinda impossible because they are 2 totally different frameworks. Everything about them us different all the way down to the kernel. You can't necessarily merge the two. You can run senselike widgets on cm7. And you can take the sense out of sense roms but keep the contacts and what people do like about it. But it would be like combining a reptile with a mammal. They are just way too different all the way down and can't be mashed together.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g using xda premium

Agreed ^
The framework is just too different. SystemUI files are going to cause a conflict if not the framework.

I think everyone have up on this idea back in the Hero days. There's a project called OpenSense, but I don't know anything about it.

What I meant is modding CM7 to have the ring lockscreen and recently open apps etc. maybe even add the launcher

Lockscreen, launcher, and every other element is heavily dependent on the sense framework.
If you change all the frameworks, the rom is no longer CM7 ... its sense

Easy.
Widget Locker has a "Sense 3" Slider what is a exact clone of the Sense 3 lockscreen, complete with all the animations.
As for Launcher, you can try GO Launcher(use Go Weather for the clock as well)

[Q] Faster Lockscreen Replacement

Hi
I was wondering if there was a possibility to make a faster lockscreen.
I know that there is a limitation of the Android System of some sort, but does work with the HTC Lockscreen.
My Problem is that the Lockscreen is not always the First thing that shows up, which kind of sucks..
Would be happy to hear an answer or maybe a solution?

A faster lockscreen? How do you mean a faster one? Does it hangs, or you want to get faster "into your phone" from lockscreen?

widget locker! its like $2 or $3 but its customizable!

in the beginning, my phone first unlocked and after that it loaded the lockscreen.
this problem resolved itself.
now its just not that fast at getting to the homescreen. but u guess its because of the app.
by the way I'm using lockview lockscreen.
love it so far

How to have only the sequence lock screen and not the sense one?

naah forget it.. everything solved now thanks
i made the lockscreen replacement load directly by disabling the Lockscreen feature in the Security Settings.
Thank you anyways for helping me

Ok, but how to have only the sequence lock screen without the fancy sense one?

you will have to remove the sense lockscreen completely, I did this using the "remove htc lockscreen" zip file, attached to the arhd thread

Sense 4 or JB

Hi all
I'm very torn as to which ROM I stay on.
I've been switching between Viper ROM & CM10. Both are awesome ROMs but I can't decide which I prefer more.
I really like the integration that sense gives you over AOSP but can't get away from the fact that CM 10 is giving amazing battery life.
If anyone can steer me in any direction I'd appreciate it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

Im on jb because its smooth and stable.
Sense has great options. But so does cmx
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

Nobody can really make the descision for you. You need to decide which is more important for you, good intergration of apps, or better battery life? After that, it's an easy choice to make.

I really like both for those reasons, back on viper again now will probably check CMX soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

why not just keep both on your phone and change to which ever one you fancy with boot manager................sudeki300

Go with one and commit to it. It's like when you're dating two girls at once, and they're both great, but eventually you have to pick one or the other. You're playing with their emotions. Do you want the bust y blonde in sense, or the amazing personality brunette with maybe some aesthetic flaws? You just have to tell one to take a hike and go all in with the other. Pimp out CM10, enjoy Sense 4s beauty, whatever.
For me, I'm a CM10 guy even though sense is much better for organizational purposes right of the bat. But the thing is, I can organize just fine with CM10, just takes a little more customization.

That's a fantastic way to put it. I'm going to try CMX and few different launches, any recommend launches, reading loads of post but personal experience is alway more valuable
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

I stick with Sense because Wifi-calling is a must for me, but if cm10 had that, I would definitely head in that direction.

Decided to go with CM10 for now.

The deal breaker for me is wifi-calling. When that exists on jellybean, then I will switch.

has anyone tried seeing if the ICS version works on JB? Maybe its worth a go...

Well I'm back on Viper now, started to experience multiple problems on the latest build of CM10, will probably revisit it when its a bit more (although it is pretty good already)

what do you like about sense so much? the camera app?

I'm on Sense 4 and I don't plan on going to JB unless we get an official kernel or ffc is fixed.

My memory card have 15gb of full hd songs...so sense is good for me because playback of some codec in every player sucks in cmx....And the customization of viper also attracts me...so am in viper

Sense just feels more fluid and connected. For example, clock weather widget, tap on the time and it takes you straight to alarm clock,timer,stop watch. Tap the weather and you get the forecast.
To achieve the same on an AOSP Rom, needed to find a clock widget (fancy sense) then a timer and stop watch app, then a weather app and then set the widget up to open the secondary apps.

for me its the whole UI, to me it just looks good and feels fluid and fast to use. Tbh I dont use camera app at all, if I want to take a photo, I have a dedicated camera...

My whole life I've used AOSP until about 2 months ago. With sense I feel the phone is just more intact, by that I mean stuff just works. Like the kernel has no hacks or whatever, all the libs are there, all the kernel codes, hardware and software seem to cooperate more. I personally feel the sensation was meant to run sense, despite not liking the aesthetic look, everything is fluid and works wonderful
