Optimizing aplications after restart - HTC Sensation

After updating my sensation to android 4.0.3 with sense 3.6, every time after restarting phone i wait too long, and on screen writes: optimizing applications. Is it normal?

Yes, it is. It happens on mine too. Not a lot of apps are optimized for ICS yet... I believe that is why that loading thing shows whenever we boot our devices. I am not sure--- but it happens to everyone. You're not alone.

^LMFAO
Android is building dalvik cache that is why you get the message, not because its "optimizing" them (google want to make "building dalvik cache" sound cool so they say "optimizing applications)

Okay, THANKS. I said I wasn't sure. Continue on LMFAOing. Maybe you can shuffle yourself to death while you're at it.

I would like to add that since I updated to ICS, my phone is running like a dog with 3 legs. Sooooo laggy and the battery now lasts about 6 hours then needs recharged. Anyone else finding this problem??

I've found that the device is a lot faster now than before. Apps are nice and don't lag (except Instagram) and start up really quickly. The battery thing... I don't think it uses a lot more. Maybe, but I am not sure. Did anyone notice that you can't go off and get the battery widget on HTC Hub? I kept looking for it and I couldn't find it.

You want him to die because he laughed at you?
Anyway, this only seems to happen on stock roms.

Mine stopped doing the optimizing thing after I checked fastboot

Having the same problem here - it seems to be caused by a process called "media" that after the phone boots keeps crashing and restarting. If I kill this process the phone acts normally and I get my usual day usage out of the battery.
Just need to find a fix for this "media" process - might try a factory reset later.

*sigh* its been said 100 times that fastboot has nothing to do with that, restart your phone and you'll see it

I have the exact same problem, I use ARHD but it seems to affect all Sense 3.6 ROM's I've tried including stock. Can you tell me what SD Card you have and do you have a lot of music, photos etc on it?
The issue doesn't occur on Sense 4.0 ROM's.
My workaround was to just disable Media starting automatically using System Tuner (needs root).
Thanks.

Wow. Very similar to me.
I have a 32GB SanDisk Class 4.
700 Music tracks and 200 photos.
This doesn't seem coincidental. Where did you purchase your card from and around what time period?

Amazon, about august last year.
I tried a factory reset last night and formatted the sd card, put no media on it but again that process is restarting again this morning. Its supposed to be migrating the media database... But there's no media for it to migrate...
Might try a different sd card tonight.
Maybe someone could split these posts off in to another thread to see if there's others with the issue?

There is an app called rescan media root that allows you to manually disable or enable this media scanner service. Search Xda for the apk. It saves time,battery and having to factory reset. :3

Okay. Yeah. My phone does use more battery as well.What does that Media process do anyway and are there any negative effects to just plain killing it?

Guess this is one of the bugs for Sense 3.6 ROMs. Btw, I factory reset my phone after the update. Still experiencing the annoying Mail app bug. And whenever I open the Music app, my phone (the Sensation XE one) automatically checks for new updates for my phone. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

It drains the battery as it keeps the phone in a wakelock so it doesn't sleep properly.
I've created a thread for it with the relevant posts.

Random restarts.

I get 1-2 reboots a day. A couple lock ups happen too. Anyone else? Is it normal?

It's definitely not normal. Try wiping fresh and installing only necessary apps then test again. If the issue persists trade it in for a new Infuse.

Problem with restarts had been referred to SD cards. It is not always relevant, as such behaviour used to happen even on card-free phones. My problems started just after update to Mango, what made phone practically unusable.
I tried and seems succesfully solved problem in following way:
- connect phone to Zune
- click on phone, then settings
- choose RESERVED SPACE position
- change with slider from default 1% to 20%
- apply, disconnect
My phone, with Micro SD, stopped crazy behaviour, f.ex. during making photo, using apps. So far so good.
So maybe, either Samsung or MS had screwed up default settings of phone and use of ROM/RAM upon processes.
Solution can be applicable to Focus S and Omnia 7 too.
Good luck!

Erratic "Application Manager" behaviour

Hi Guys
Anyone noticed this problem: whenever you enter the Application Manager and click on an application to see the size of the app or transfer it to the SD card, the size numbers start flickering very fast and then they stabilize on 0 (zero). I have to use the back button then go back into the same application to see the actual numbers
I have to stay this initial release of the Sensation software is extremely buggy, my DHD was way smoother and bug free, hope HTC comes up with updates very soon
I am on the ASIA WWE version 28.707.2.1
Yes, have seen this alot... even caused a few non responsive crashes - requiring a battery pull to resolve...
This also happens when the phone is trying to read your sd card. I've been using a sd card that hasn't been formatted in a while, so last night I saved everything and formatted it. Since then, no problems.

Anyone getting errors moving apps to sd using the application storage space saving feature? I select apps to move and it will move a few then tell me there is no more space on my sd card - there's 11gb free. I keep cycling through and it will move more but then it finally won't move any more. HTC is on some bull**** releasing this buggy crap.
I updated to 1.34.401.1 and this behavior is gone. All is normal.

I have the same problem too.Formatted my 16 gig class 6 card didn't help.oh well not a biggie for me,since i'm not experiencing any of the more serious/annoying issues many are reporting here....knocking on wood.

Wow, this just jumped up for me as well. For the last day and a half my battery life has been brutal. This morning I'm down 16% in 45 min. despite not using my phone.
Looks like two apps are the culprits: Media and Media Server. Can anyone tell me how I can determine what is forcing these to run?
I thought I could correlate it to installing a free Amazon talking book, 'cause after installing it this weekend my media server never seemed to shut off and I had to reboot to kill it. But I uninstalled the app last night with no improvement.

Looks like some have had success removing all media files from their SD cards. Doing this piecemeal sounds pretty daunting to me - seems like every app folder and subfolder has at least images in it. Think I'll wait til next time I flash to start fresh. If this battery drain keeps up it will probably be in the next couple hours

Next up I'm gonna wipe 3x, then dalvik wipe, then reflash. ARRRRGH!

Haven't used Odin on this SR (it's a two-week old replacement). I've only used Odin in the past to remove root. I'm at a loss here. I've formatted my ext. SD, wiped my phone numerous times, flashed 3 different ROMs today, and restored every app one-by-one so that I don't restore the data. Still media server runs like a top.
Is there a way to use Odin that's faster than removing root and starting over? I gotta fix this - I can't last 4 hours on a battery.

I know what you mean. Have you tried running fix permissions in rom manager? You have to install busybox from the market first, though.

Huh. I was having a similar problem, and moving all the files from the internal sd card to my computer fixed it. And then I read somewhere that fix permissions would work too. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help. Good luck!

Sounds like a hardware issue. Either battery is bad, or the maincard. Often water/shock damage.
Try a Anker battery, it wont set you back many dollars anyways.

I had random shutdowns - There seem to be a few threads around about it, some suggest repartitioning and reformatting the SD card (which seemed to work for me) and some go for some odd solutions like sticking a bit of card at the base of the battery to push it against the pins a bit more solidly.

Reboot/Battery Dying Problem

When my phone dies and I reboot it after charging, many of my apps when I tap on them say "application not installed". It's a big hassle reinstalling them all the time. Anyone else having these issue or know a fix?

Haven't seen that before, I was on Trickdroid 6.2 for a while and it never happened. Are your apps installed to internal storage or moved to SD (SD meaning the storage partion, as opposed to the default 2.5gb for apps)? Maybe try wiping dalvik & cache for starters..never hurts.
I have a few on the SD and the rest in the 2.5gb for apps.
