[Q] Screen lags. - HTC Sensation

Hi, I have problems with my HTC Senastion screen:
from time to time it freezes and nothing can be done about that. I can still use "normal buttons", but nothing more. After some time it just "unfreezes" and everything is like normal.
Can this be due to overclocked GPU?
Also, I have discovered that it appears randomly after reboots: sometimes after reboot I experience this issue, sometimes not.
EDIT: Hmm, as I see, only some parts of UI are lagging. For example status bar is working ok (no always but still). Moreover, the buttons like: home, menu also are not responding.

Which launcher do you use?

Nova luncher.

Never happened to me,
your problem seems to be an Hardware issue..
you can try to restore your sensation with the Stock RUU and send it back to htc

I had this problem using an overclocked kernel. Reverting back to the stock 3.32.401.5 kernel fixed the random freezing and reboots.
I'm now using SebastianFM's 1.4.1 overclocked kernel and things have been fine. No random reboots or freezing/lag.

Having random freezes/reboots

For the week or so, I've had numerous occasions when the phone stops responding and then either reboots on its own, or I have to pull and re-insert the battery to make is work. Sometimes, the phone start working but HTC Sense restarts.
Also, I've noticed that this only happens when I press the home button while on a resource heavy application, such as a game or firefox. However, most of the time these applications close without a hitch.
I'm pretty sure it's not a ROM related issue because I updated to the latest version of Elegancia Blitz when it was first made available (August 11th) and didn't have any issues until recently.
Can someone tell me the possible cause and solution for this?

I experienced similar issue since updated my Sensation to firm 3.33 and rom Android revolution HD . If I use the phone with some games or web browser it overheats and touch screen fail. I have to put it standby to restore touch function. I have downgraded it to 3.32 and installed Blitz rom but issue don't dissapear so I supose is not a Rom issue as you say. I think is a problem with firm 3.33 but I don't know how to solve it.

[Q] Why is my UI vanishing?

So, I've been having issues with my TF101 for a while now. At first I thought it was ROM related, but I've seen this issue across a couple different ROMs, including the stock ICS update. The issue is that frequently, the launcher will crash and restart when swiping off the main homescreen. Other times, the UI overlay will crash. That is to say, the icons and everything will vanish, but the background will still be there. Sometimes a widget might be frozen on the screen (it's visible regardless of swiping, and you can't interact with it). I can still swipe, the background is still visible scrolling, and if you know where something should be, you can even tap it and it will open. Has anyone else experienced this? I've noticed the issue in the stock ICS launcher, Apex, or Trebuchet. When it happens, I either have to restart or at least re-apply the system them. Even the lock screen UI vanishes.
FWIW, my TF101 is a B60 unit, rooted, running RaymanFX's CM10 (4.1.2) ROM, and TWRP.
So no one's seen this kind of issue before?
I have a similar problem. Hitting the "home" button (it never disappears) solves the problem, no need for other apps or reboot or anything. I just plain hit the home button and everything reappears.

Sometimes, my UI vanishes, but if I wait about 10 seconds or so, it comes back. I guess the launcher crashes, but is automatically restarted by the kernel. I use the K.A.T kernel, maybe that is better with the re-launch when it crashes?

Anyone else with problems like this?

Recently put ViperXL on and took updates now its ViperXL 3.2.5, put kernel 3.4.10-ElementalX v5.0 vanilla on, flashed radio 2.41.,S-OFF.. Now the screen at times becomes unresponsive like when deleting apps,touch the app , it opens but it wont move or delete.IF I reboot, the screen behaves like it should for an unknown period then problem starts to repeat itself untill rebooting again. Another issue I noticed lately before flashing Viper is in TWRP , especially when rebooting, tapping the reboot button it wont respond for a short period,I might have to tap several times to get reboot to happen. I am wondering if I put too much on the system or might it be something internal?

delay with twrp reboot is normal. issues with custom kernels are pretty common as you are pushing your phone beyond spec and making the phone do things it wasn't really designed to do. imo the screen freezing is due to s2w but i could be wrong. i think you can turn s2w off in elemental, try turning it off and see if you still get freezing.
could be.

This could be the trick. I tried this morning and so far today there hasn't been a hangup on apps. I tried a couple and everything as usual. But this has been a intermittent thing not knowing when or how it would happen.
Yeah I have found some of the Venom tweaks really affecting responsiveness. For example if you could figure power long press to turn on the flashlight it takes NOTABLY longer to wake the phone. I can see s2w having the same effect
Here I thought I was the only one experiencing this issue. I did a full wipe and format and flashed a bone stock (default configuration) flash of ViperXL to see if that would solve the issue. Screen issue doesn't occur as often as before bit it still happens. I found that if I block the light sensor, the screen begins to behave normally. I don't have a logcat yet but can upload if necessary.

I thought wrong , again, tried this morning just moving an app from home screen to second screen. It will open but unable to move it or delete it from the screen. Rebooted and seems everything is normal again.
Are you using 4x5 Rosie?

Not really sure, I can't find anything that 4x5 is enabled. S2W I disabled also, this is not a big problem just irritating some times. Things usually start working normal when I reboot system .
You could try increasing the voltage.

At this point I am not sure I am that smart to be messing with volotage and such on the inside of this thing.
just stopped using a custom kernel. i stopped using them cause of freezing issues.

Revelation Rom random reboots

Hi, I have a problem with random reboots on Revelation Rom. I already know some users have already reported some issues with it. Full reboots are totaly random, they happen when i dont use the phone (sleep), when i try to unlock it, or doing anything like typing a message, using web browser, etc. Ofcourse i did a full wipe befeore install, installed rom with default settings, i also didn't restore any apps, or something.
This is my last_kmsg from last reboot, i hope it will help SebastianFM to solve the problem (i believe there is one, other roms work like they should and i think i also do everythig like i should during install and after).
Can't post it in dev sectcion due to 10 posts restrictions.
Cheers.
Use 1188 mhz max cpu frequency, no cpu control software, I don't have reboots.

I have already tried to set 1188, 1296 and 1512 during install, all options gave me the same results, so i think it is not realted to CPU max freq.
I don't know if we have the same problem, I have my sensation turning off randomly for no reason what so ever. The weird thing is when it is plugged in, it doesn't turn it self off. I already brought a new battery so shouldn't be that. I also tried putting some paper in the battery section in case there was a lose connection. Played around with software, got nothing changing ROM, changing CPU freq, changing radio... nothing helps. I think mine problems are random reboots + shutdown, so it is not all ways the case it has rebooted. But when it does do the random reboot, it is often when I am trying to wake the device. I have no idea when it shuts down since when I try to wake it, it was shut down. Then I had to hold the power button to turn it on. Lastly, I think i get mostly shutdown.
Well, i don't know what is causing your problem. If you change between different roms/kernels/firmwares/radios/etc. and problem always exist, it can be hardware related.
Mine only appears on Revelation rom, and i always get the full reboot (no soft reboots or shutdowns).

These reboots are caused by kernel 3.4.10, not ROM, so we may continue this discussion on my kernel related thread. Reboots occurs only on few devices. I received many kernel logs, but I didn't find the reason, errors are different for each user.
The 12th day on the Revelation ROM and not a single reboot.
Also writing here due to the 10 post's rule eek
Will go back to the Revelation thread after this post because I really like the SebastiamFM's work and I have none of there mantioned problems (maybe one or two).
I was havign problems on the begining thoe... i couldnt startt the phone. It rebooted when I had to insert the PIN code or before the Sense even managed to load. Then I formated everything (including the SD card) to eliminate any "remains" of previous ROM's and i set the GPU on 300 and the MAX freq to 1520 and from than till now not a single lag.

Try using performance governer instead of ondemand.
Happy to help.
You could try reseating the battery or securing it a bit tighter, some users have reported reboots because of the battery being somewhat 'loose'.

[Q] Reaper 4.0 - Application not responding / Quit to homescreen

Hello XDA
I've recently rooted my phone and flashed the Reaper 4.0 rom (w. full wipe), which is quite a performance boost coming from the factory default w. sense. Reaper is blazing fast to be frank!
Problem is that I've regularly been experiencing an "Application not responding" error or (more frequently) apps just quitting to the homescreen. Seems to be happening with many different apps periodically in bulk and have been happening ever since I first booted up with reaper. Sometimes the app freezes for a few seconds, where after it quits to the homescreen (no error message), but mostly it just instantly quits when I touch a button/link. During some sessions the apps run fine for long periods of time, during other they quit to the homescreen several times every minute. The rom itself seems to be very stable and I've never experienced anything like it with the default HTC rom.
Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on here? Anything I could/should adjust in the reaper control? Or should I just try a different rom? Am very satisfied with the speed, so I'd rather stay with reaper if its possible to eliminate the problem.
HTC Desire S (unlocked w. S-ON)
Hboot: 2.00.0002
