[Q] Hearing a click when exiting camera

Try this: open camera, take a picture, and when pressing the back button to exit the camera put your ear close to the phone and can you hear a little "click"? I can hear it from my device, and as much as I can tell, it's mechanical, not from the system or any software.
This doesn't make sense unless there are moving parts associated with the camera hardware.

yes....i can hear it... and it was there in my DHD too... something related to camera lens hardware.....i feel so

I heard it in my previous phone too (SE Vivaz, piece of ****, but the camera was awesome! (Also 8 MP)) It's something with the camera hardware (probably)

Have you never used a non-mobilephone camera in your life? It's simply the camera adjusting focus, or rather resetting it when you close the app. Older phones can't do this, the Sensation can. There is effectively a mechanical movement.

It happened to my Dell streak too. It 's not a problem I think.

Its the auto-focus relaxing
Happens on all HTC devices since the diamond

hello everyone.

Gtalk Video chat works
Noticed a new app called HTC likes

No CRT animation?

Sound has been boosted, At least from the speaker I can notice a big difference. Also the the stock music app is picking up the embedded album art correctly now on my imported iTunes library.

HTC likes was always there, and it's still bloatware :-( the real changes for me are better dual core support and gtalk video, so now you don't poorly supported third party apps, like VTalk. Now I can use a poorly supported Google App!

LOL -he sure complains like one!

Is the speaker really louder? I'm dying to get this, but fully rooted and Rom'd up.

Definitely seems louder to me.
Tried the game Cordy off the Market and the graphics spaz out to look like when a desktop pc GPU is dying. Also the stock browser closes all windows except the one you have open when you close it.

I can confirm on 2.3.4 on a stock Sensation by pressing home and power it will take a screen shot and photos will be in the camera shots album.. Pretty freaking nice of them to include this feature

[Q] HTC sense slow on Sensation XE ?

I've got a question where i can't find the answer to when i use the search-option on this site.
I have a HTC Sensation XE, all recent updates done.
When i'm browsing the web and i push the home button i allways get "loading" on my screen. (For about 10seconds). How come the phone seems to be slow when i do that? Is it a problem with HTC Sense? Will it run faster on Go Launcher or is there an other solution for my problem? I like the apperiance of HTC Sense so would prefer to keep using it . If anyone has a solution i'll be happy to read it.
Thanks in advance

Best solution would be to flash a custom ROM or root it at least and change a line in your build prop to prevent from doing what you describe.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I think that happens when Android automatically kills HTC Sense as it needs more memory.
Using Golauncher might solve it. Or you could set the built in task killer to be more aggressive.

Depends what ROM you are using, I think on Gingerbread you could use the Spare Parts app but not sure.

To do so i must "root" the phone right ? Thanks for your reply.

No, you don't need root for the spare parts app. There should be other apps on the Market that do similar things too if Spare Parts doesn't work.

Most of the time my phone is very fast indeed
It's just when something is loading in the browser or when you're playing a game (Angry birds in this case) and i push the "home" button, than i have to wait a few seconds until the home-screen is loaded. You can also see that the clock settings (24hrs) reload at that time. (clock is displayed first in AM-PM-mode)
Greetz and thanks

Spare Parts didn't solve my problem. The white screen with HTC logo appears sometimes followed bij "loading" on the home screen.... Of anyone had an idea to solve this.... I'll be welcome to hear...

I removed antivirus app and now its seems solved
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium

There is actually a thread on this because I was able to explain to the person why your phone in fact does this..
A lot of the time you will unwittingly have a few browser windows open, each page you have open roughly uses about 10-40MB of RAM depending on the rendering, flash etc.
When you hit the 'Home' button, your phone doesn't actually close the web browser. It just puts it as a background application. The chances are that your phone doesn't actually have enough RAM to switch from the Browser to Sense and so it kills sense and reloads it.
Custom ROM's do not have this problem as they have RAM optimizations, however I'm sure if I opened 5 windows and opened YouTube in every window then hit the home button, that I'd have the same problem.

For now it seems fine. Removing lookout anti-virus made everything faster I tried to make it happen again but phone stayed smooth and fast. I hope it stays this way now.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium

It just happend again. To much apps open and it happens. I will try moving apps to internal memory as it would help Android closing them to free RAM....
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium

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....

It doesn't matter where the apps are, it's just the stupid RAM.

Instagram problems.

Every ROM I'm on instagram freezes when I go to post a picture. Then my phone resets itself. Happens on ordroid and arhd

Same problem here, the wife uses Instagram on my phone and it kills it pretty much every time.

Freezing here too
Regularly freezes my phone, particularly during the application of tilt-shift and/or when clicking on the top right hand side arrow to process pic and upload. Really annoying. E-mailed them as well, hoping for a fix. In the meantime, no one cracked this yet?

this problem rekated with apk, not phone. i'm using xe with arhd without sny instagram problem but i tried same apk on desire, ideos x5 and galaxy ace, and noticed errors. if the program wants to work, it work like a charm. if it doesnt want to, you have nothing to do.
generally iphone port apps doesnt work stable.

I'm having the same issue
!! Help
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

its new to android. give it time before the billion dollar app is stable on our phones. my phone has issues with it too.
sent from the Nudy Bar.

Since the most recent update it seems to be much more stable.
And by much more stable I mean being able to process and upload a picture without a hard reboot

I've found that if I reboot BEFORE I use instagram, it works perfectly. If I do NOT reboot it freezes. I've learned to work around this issue by rebooting BEFORE use. Then it works perfectly for me. My current Rom Beats by Grogg 3.0 v.B. but I think the reboots will work with ANY Rom. Give it a try. It solved my freezing issue, perhaps it will also solve your issue hope this helps! Good luck
Works for me!

There had been confirmed issues with some specific drivers and some specific apps (skype and istagram eg.), you can take a look in this thead for the drivers you might want try.

For those with Instagram problems, those drivers should fix it :

They should work no problem with every ROM, clearing cache is also a good thing to do.

what do those drivers do exactly ? And I noticed this is for an adreno 200 but the sensation has adreno 220 ?
