I'm having a bit of a problem at the moment with my Desire S and I was wondering if anyone here could help find a solution
Basically, some apps (both pre-installed and downloaded) frequently close without any reason (there isn't even an option to force close, it just closes)
So far, I've seen the problem with Facebook, Twitter and XDA apps, as well as FriendStream (it reboots HTC Sense when I try and refresh the widget) and sometimes Mail. They start to load, but just exit before anything has fully loaded.
I've tried everything - taking the battery out, rebooting countless times, factory reset it twice but to no avail.
Does anyone else have this peculiar problem and if so, is there a way to fix it?
(BTW, my phone is NOT rooted)
I recently upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and have the stock ROM. Now when I'm e.g listening with Spotify and surfing on the web after I press the home button, the HTC splash screen will appear and the home screen starts to load. On 2.3.3 I never had this to happen, but now it seems to occur even on light use. What keeps shutting down Sense?
Happens to me from time to time and im still on 2.3.3. I also want to know what causes these random sense reboot

happens to me on 2.3.3 only when i exit the browser after heavy browsing...and must add its very irritating.
I had this problem when using Camera. Had to pull-out battery. After few times the problem disappeared. Since using custom ROMs, never had this problem again.
Hello all,
I upgraded my sensation to official 2.3.4 and I'm experiencing the same issue. After going into apps, it could be browser / peep / third apps and even sms app, htc sense keeps rebooting with a disgraced white screen ...
I had also this kind of issue with 2.3.3 but it wasn't so frequently, i really hope HTC will fix that soon cause it's really embarassing.

Hello everyone,
I had this problem very often when I was using stock HTC Sense, but since I started using other ROMs the problem has completely disappeared. I remeber this being very annoying, and sometimes the HTC screen would come up everytime I went back to home! This happened more often when I had the Friend Stream Lockscreen applied.
Now, I'm not entirely sure of what I am saying, but I am just trying to help, if anyone knows better please confirm/correct what I am saying:
This white screen is due to the HTC Sense launcher rebooting. I believe this is because the phone runs out of RAM, and thus shuts down applications.
What I found helpful to kinda fix the problem:
Download the app "Android System Info" from the Play Store. Once downloaded, open it, and go to the "Tasks" tab. Press menu and sort by memory usage. Now you see all your processes (no need for root) sorted by memory usage. You can notice that HTC Sense is often on the top, using up most of the RAM.
Now you problably think: "Why doesn't my phone exclude HTC Sense from the apps it can kill to free memory?". Well I think this happens when another app uses even more RAM than HTC Sense, and the phone then believes the other application is more important, and shuts HTC Sense down, and it then needs to reboot. I noticed that when I had applied the Friend Stream Lockscreen, it was often using about the same amount of RAM as HTC sense, and when it actually used more, and the phone ran out of RAM (for example during heavy browsing), HTC Sense was shut down.
So the way to fix this is to find out which process uses most of the RAM when it shouldn't (not the process "android system" for example), using Android System Info. Either it is, as for my case, one of the cool features of HTC Sense, then you should disable it or it is another application, then you should either uninstall it, which you probably won't because it is an important application, in which case you would have to limit its use.
At least you know what application is causing the problem, but look rather at different times on your phone, to see which process CONSTANTLY uses a lot of RAM. If you are browsing, it is normal that your browser uses up a lot of RAM for example.
This is not a perfect fix, I still experienced Sense reboots after doing that (disabling HTC Friendstream Lockscreen for me), but less often, and this helps without having to root your phone or change ROM.
This is very annoying, and HTC should have fixed this by now, or should had put more RAM in the Sensation to cover that high usage, but I believe they fixed it with Sense 4.0 (going on the new HTC One series), which we won't have for a long time, by making HTC Sense use less RAM.
Please press the "Thank" button if I helped.
I recently brought a htc desire s rooted with sense 3.0. Today when i was downloading an app the phone blocked on the start screen and i couldn t do anything. I got the battery out and reiserted it but after de load screen ..nothing..i could see the screen was lit but nothing.After repeteing the process for 5 times it finally worked and the phone started..What could be the problem? Please help me. And also superuser is not working. it says it failed application or something like that every time i use it or some program tries to use it..The same with programs that require root.They just fail.the rest of the programs work perfectly and the Sense ui is smooth. What could be the problem?
Tried a couple of different ROMS out there, and I'm still getting frequent pausing, temporary locking up on my Gtab when trying to open apps. Am I rushing the poor old guy!? Usually it starts responding again before I even hit "wait" but the frequent pop-up when it slows is really getting to me. Anyone experiencing anything similar? Any good fixes???

What roms are you using? I had this issue with the last dirty bean but get it much less if at all with the 120dpi smoothbean. You can change the governor settins under settings/performance/processor as well as limit background processes to 2/1 that seems to help. I laso turn off sync on gmail which helps.

1. Try Advanced Task Killer and hit the widget button to nuke the memory hogs. There is
a lot of people who dont recommend task killing as a solution, but it seems to get me past the
force closes.
2. Try an old froyo rom like Vegan or TNT Lite 4.4

Recently I was having similar problems with the gtablet slowing down a lot, so I started uninstalling some of my apps.
I had about 220 apps with Application Storage at 212MB free. I messed some uninstall and got into a boot loop.
At which point I did a factory reset. The factory reset ROM was a lot faster. So when I restored my apps and settings
froim Titanium backup, I restored about 120 of them with Application Free Storage at about 700 MB now.
All the slowness of apps and market have gone away.
So I would say if you see a lot of Force Closes or hangs especially during Market Update, considering cutting
down on the number of apps you have. The key metric to see if you are getting full is the
Settings->Storage->Tablet Storage->Application Storage (for Froyo ROMs)
