[Q] sensation crashing during unlocking the screen

Hi there guys!
i just bought a htc sensation a month ago and make its s-off an flashed also a custom rom (senseless rom 1.2)
now my problem its, that the phone is rebooting sometimes, when i try to unlock the device from sleeping.
i push the power button, the phone doesn't react, so i push a second time. after pushing 2nd time, the display splash on and at the next moment off.
2 seconds later, i got the boot-splash of the device.
anyone had this problem already?
EDIT: this problem was coursed also before s-off, therefore i choose this section to disks about! =)

I'm having this problem as well. I have not rooted or s-off'd or anything else. Stock rom, most apps from the market. This started happening the other day when I installed an update to version 2.3.4. This is happening several times a day and is getting extremely annoying!!

hi,
i just followed this problem again.
i am using now the Beast Rom, and the phone has still this problem.
any ideas?

Try flashing ARHD 3.6.1 from Mike1986 very stable, good support and fully operational. way better than stock.

Defrag your micro sd card and fix file system errors. Uncheck enable fastboot and turn off your phone then turn it back on again. Lastly, try not to use "kill all" in task manager. Hope it help you guys.

Crashing as well
Same here with crashing.
During unlock, when using GPS. It's now several times a day. The device has become unfit for purpose. Will try the SD card trick.

[Q] ICS - Android is upgrading... optimizing applications

Hi guys
I've OTA upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 3.32.707.10
I noticed every time I reboot, a message appears "Android is upgrading... optimizing applications x of 94" after the HTC white screen. It takes abt a minute to get through.
Is this normal?
Thanks
Tony

Yea it is normal.
Those applications are from HTC, mot from your downloaded applications.

Thanks. But how come I got 94 applications to be optimised, while others have less/more even we are both the sensation??

Or maybe it is optimizing with your apps. I noticed that. Sorry..

I get that too every time I reboot, too time consuming.

if you guys are rooted then you could try running fix permission. came accross this one time when i installed LD Tweaks V3, after running the fix permission its gone.

i waited for 20min ytd when i update my sensation. now its working like a charm ~

I thought this happens when you clear dalvik cache?
In GB the dalvik cache rebuild happened behind the scenes now in ICS you see it...

Try rebooting the phone again and see. It happens every reboot for me.

surprisingly for me it reboot in less then a min, i enable fast boot on. No problem on reboot for me.

Fast boot essentially makes a reboot pointless, IMHO. I've read on the Samsung Nexus forum that this is normal behavior for ICS.

disabled fast boot and shut down, powered on in 1min48seconds with optimizing 40 updates

Very annoying. Optimizing on each phone boot. Test version was better than the release.
It's look like April fool !!!!

Yup, mine have this problem too. I asked HTC about this - they said that they don't know why there is this problem, and we need to send phone to service.

Hi
I get the same issue too...every reboot with fast boot off it optimizis and says android is updating

I'm on a nexus and it is only supposed to optimize once and that's after the initial update.*

Yep, that 'optimizing' should just be the building of the Dalvik Cache and after it shouldn't happen.

Dear Fellows i have found the solution.
Here how it will work
1-The android updating message will come every time because ICS contacts the developer site every time it reboots
2- go to setting > power and enable fast boot
there you go.
now your device will not reset sound setting on every reboot

I have the same issue. I rebooted my HTC Sensation 10 times with fast boot enabled and 10 times without and it is still "Optimising Applications x .. 92" on every reboot whether fast boot is enabled or not.
maybe I was too impatient when the phone was upgrading and the upgrade didn't go as planned. I have no idea.
Is there a way to get the OTA upgrade file and do the upgrade again?

Same thing here, I have rebooted it 3 times today and everytime I see the message "Android is upgrading..." Everytime 34 apps. It does not take that long but still...
And also I have never changed the "Fast boot" option, so I guess it is on.

Since JB, keyboard and widgets don't load on reboot

I tried to find a answer but have been unsuccessful.
Since upgrading to JB whenever I reboot, my keyboard reverts to the stock keyboard and I have to go into settings to turn back on SwiftKey and then re select it.
Also on reboot, switch pro widget will not be loaded nor will audio manager profile switcher.
Any advice?

I recall having the same issue with JB at one point but I think after I RUU'd it stopped. I could be wrong, ofcourse. I know there's a bug with some settings switching back after reboot and I remember thinking this was part of that bug. But I was on Viper for a couple days a few days ago and don't remember it happening during that time.

I have the same issue. SwiftKey almost always is disabled on reboot and frequently overnight. Not sure if this is a glitch or some new memory management thing with the AT&T JB based ROM. Doesn't happen with my N7.
Running CR6.X - also happened with a ported ROM I flashed over the holidays.
Pretty annoying. Not really into RUUing at this time, since that has always been painful for me on other HTC phones. I have attempted clean flashes in an attempt to fix, with no luck.

Might, RUU up to 3.18/3.17, make sure your S-OFF and don't relock your bootloader. Report your findings.

There's a thread about S-OFF in the original android development section.
Ruu, is simple, download the exe and run it with your phone plugged in. Don't relock the bootloader.

An update,
I didnt RUU but I found out that if I power off and then powerback on it keeps the keyboard and widgets
I also had At&t send me a new device, but it had the same problem
the rep called HTC and they have never heard of this problem, but have no fixes, so that sucks
the end response was just dont restart the phone, power it off then back on

[Q] ViperS 5 - Headphone reboot

Hi! I have flashed ViperS 5 on my Sensation and I'm very happy with the ROM. The only thing is that every time I try to connect something to my headphone jack, no matter if it's low-end earbuds, high-end headphones or just an AUX-cable, the phone reboots. I tried to reintsall the ROM over the one I already have with no luck. I then tried to wipe the phone, and then flash the ROM again. It worked for a while, but then, the problem appeared again. Do you have any clue on what's the problem?
A guy told me I should re-flash the kernel on top of the installed ROM with VKF (Venom Kernel Flasher), so I tried this. I connected my phone to my computer through USB and turned on USB Debugging. I chose to install the kernel and pressed start. The software said it was successfully connected, but failed to push the kernel-modules to my device. I also tried to push the files to the phone from the fastboot-menu in the bootloader, but with no luck.
How should I fix the problem? If someone have a flashable .zip-file with the ViperS 5-kernel, I would be glad if you could provide me the link. Is it any other way I can "install" or "flash" the kernel-modules?
If re-flashing the kernel is the only option to fix the problem, please tell me. If it isn't, in what way can I fix the reboot-problem?

Are you S-on or s-off? If you're S-On try flashing the ROM again with full wipe with smartflash enabled. If ROM doesn't boot try extracting boot.img from the ROM zip and flash manually through adb with command fastboot flash boot boot.img . First of all try the wizdroid app and see if it fix the headphones issue.

I'm S-OFF, so I don't think the problem lays there, but I'll check out the Wizdroid-app

S-off but locked bootloader by any chance? I had a problem with flashing splash screen as well with locked bootloader(but s-off)

Since Today i got the same issue. when pluggin my headphone in the sensation reboots and stuck in a bootloop until unplugging headset.
I flashed the Rom without full wipe but cleaned dalvik and cache. everyting works fine,and fast, except the headset.
Device: Z710e, S-OFF unlocked Bootloader
Headset: Monster Beats Audio urBeats
Any ideas or need further informations?

So I'm not the only one

Some minutes ago, i installed the "Audio_Crash_Test2" and now my headphone works.
But if i open the camera, the phone reboots.
Can nobody help here?

Just want to chime in here. I am having headphone problems too. Bluetooth headphones as well. I posted it in the official forum but like everything i post it went ignored other than one person giving the ol' "works for me, bro. dont know what to tell you. have a good day" routine.
Also, i could not find this "Audio_Crash_Test2" file. Google fails to bring up any results as well as a search in this forum... anyone got a link?

I have to say i have tried to replicate what yousay and it does not ever reboot my device. Maybe dead battery :S

What do you mean exactly? The way to install the "Audio crash Test" files?

No. It is not a dead battery. All i know is clearly other people are having this problem. i have reflashed this ROM 4 times. Full wipe every time. Before installing nay app or changing any settings i have tried both Bluetooth headset and wired headphone. I am very glad you dont have a problem. That's awesome and you are very lucky. But clearly other people do.
As far as the audio crash file. I am having trouble finding it. Google brings me no results and a search on the forum gets me no results either.

Its not just "Power Amp" if you change any settings about the headphones like equalizers and stuff it will cause random reboots and you will have to flash completely again

so no changes at all

I have. Checked and reboot upon taking a photo with flash on low battery will force a reboot. This also happened to me today whilst I had 14% on bat and plugged headphones in and was greeted with a reboot. I am pretty sure it has to be kernel related issue now and is not a Rom issue. Flashed back to viperS 3.1.4 and never got the issue so I cannot understand what's going on.

Cleared, thanks, just run recovery cwm then restore data only

HTC M8 Reboots then freezes on verizon splash screen

I have had this happen several times now. I will take my phone out of my pocket and see it frozen on the red verizon logo.
I finally figured out that if hold down the volume Up, Down, and Power buttons long enough that the phone will restart and then it works fine for another few days.
Anyone have a fix for this problem?

No one else is having this problem? I'm running S-off stock rom, with a couple additions like the HK audio.

As you've modified the phone, the only way to tell whether this is a hardware issue is to revert to complete stock and see if it persists.
