[Q] Home Screen Landscape Orientation? - HTC One S

I seem to remember in a preview that the home screen was viewable in landscape orientation too. I can't get mine to flip round at all. Was I dreaming?
Sorry if that's the case

Dude your life must be bad if you are dreaming about landscape previews on your phone ! LOL
But, I cant replicate it either..

Ha ha! I just thought I remembered seeing it as a feature of Sense 4. Maybe it was on a wish list or something

Landscape Rosie is activated when the phone is docked.. it replaces the old desk dock screen. Sure it can't be enabled in dev options?

Might just do that Thanks all!

[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.

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

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.

I'm afraid do.... Would replacing Sense with another app solve this problem ?

[Q] Sense 4 Camera port

Sorry to get anyone's hopes up with the title but I'm wondering if anyone has thought about or is in the process of porting the sense 4 camera to a sense 3.5/3.6 Rom or is it the same camera?
Why don't you flash a sense 4 rom to find out ?

I'm working on an oilrig for another week so I don't have a good enough internet connection to download and flash a Rom just to test the camera.
I've seen some photos on the internet of the HTC one X and the camera seems different but I can't be 100% sure.... So thought I'd ask here.
The one x has a dedicated chip for photos processing... Which is absent on the sensation

thats all I would want in the port is ordinary camera features... because the camera capture speed is much faster than the sense 3.6 features
hold on let me test out the other features
Edit: Only features that work are HDR (Sun mode), Video Capture, Original Snapshot (and its really fast... almost back to back photos with auto focus working). If someone could simply modify the camera and remove some features it would be just fine... I'm sure its not impossible to get some of these other features working... only thing I can see not working is Photo Capture during video capture and some effects.
and what about sense 4 clock? i really love it and i would like to have it on sense 3.6

Instagram is finally here

for those of you that have been waiting for it, its finally here

I'm also on ordroid, but, when I take a photo on instagram, all freezes and stops responding (non of buttons working on instagram or other buttons), when screen lights out and press turn on button (hope to go to lock screen) it boots on as switched on. Reinstall does all the same
Works fine on VI 4.0.1. Although personally I don't see what is all the hype about.

What's the benefit of using Instagram?
It's another 'cool' app to have for photo blogging - effects are quite nice
Just installed instagram.. currently using sense 4.0 insert coin rc1.. took some photos and upload it to fb.. one FC occurred when to choose profile pic.. the rest seems to be ok...

I cant really see an actual benefit of using it. It seems this app is aimed towards hipsters and females
I always try to take the best picture with realistic colours , why would I ruin it with lame filters that mimic old camera ?

reducing long press delay on sense input

Im not sure whether this has been mentioned before, but i found that the long press delay for the commonly used characters like "?" and numbers take too long of a press to get it to pop out..
is there any mod to reduce the dely to like 0.5sec?
nobody?
213 views and still nobody
I can't beleve that there are only 2 people interested in shortening the delay

Use a different keyboard.
There is different version of the htc keyboard they can be found on the themes and apps section ..
I also found a fix by flashing coindroid sense 4.0

[Tip] Resizing SMS message text

After installing a sense 4 port I noticed that the messages in the stock app were very large and there wasn't anything in message settings to change it.
However, I found out by accident that you can pinch and zoom to resize. This also works in 3.6 Roms.
Hope others find this useful.
