Not a single one. Not on any of my apps as a matter of fact.

thats strange. i just got mine yesterday and have had a few. kinda annoying at times.

I think someone in another thread said a hard reset fixed it for him. I think, when I get my phone, the first thing I will do is give it a hard reset. Then, if I have problems, I'll know a hard reset won't fix it since I already did one.

Nah, I haven't had any and my Sensation is going on 3 days straight without a reboot or using a task killer app. It's still running smooth with over 250 mb of free memory.

I was having Sense FC issues like every 5 minutes, it all started when I changed "Scenes". I did a factory reset and a battery pull and I haven't had a FC in 24 hours. I also haven't changed "Scenes" yet either. I think I like the previous version of Sense more than 3.0, but I am not complaining not even a little bit. I love this friggin phone!

been having this issue also, i disabled the sync and it hasnt happened since.

I've been having a ton of Sense FCs, might have to do the hardreset.... no biggie I guess as long as it fixes it.

*Sensation is one I find it most beneficial devices about a month after release. If you have other devices that use lines of previous HTC devices or reading about it on the xda, but that device error more than Sensation.
*Sensation errors on mainly by the software (ROM). Sensation's hardware have to say is excellent. I think the errors of Sensation after being unlocked bootloader will be fixed (Rom, Kernel, Driver ....)

nice. thanks for the input everyone.

so where are we on this?
What are the conclusions?:
1:Hard reset ... I'd like it to be my last resort. But did it work for you guys?
2:someone on another thread recommended changing from Sense to adw
3: anything else?
I iniataly thought sense was dropped from memory, but I saw in parameters somewhere that it runs in protected area so ca be the culprit at least alone.
There's got to be a better answer!
I'm quiet positive that it has to do with badly written widget or app.
Now how could we approach this?:
could we list all our linked apps??
Any better idea??
This has to be fixed!

I have the same problem with mine.
Sense looks the part but the white screen with logo + loading annoyes me too...
Did you get the problem solved one way or another?
It is, in my opinion, the only downside on my Sensation XE

Are you on ICS, if so move all your apps to phone memory sense will force close.

At this point my phone is on standard software as delivered by HTC. Should I move all added programs to internal memory or move as much as possible to memory-card ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

I need info about your sense version and android version. If it is v3.6 and ICS then you must move all apps to internal memory.

It is on Android 2.3.4 and HTC Sense 3.0.
Are there newer versions available? Auto updates is "on" in setup so i would think phone should update itself ? Greetz and thanks for your aswer.

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....

If you ever find à solution, let us know.
I wrote to HTC and got an answer: in summary wipe all out and restart!
Kind of a joke.

Best solution is to root and S-off so you can flash another ROM like Viper S1.1.0
This is wat better than stock!

ARHD 4.1.8 update reverting to .7 after flashing add ons

This is strange. I have been using ARHD for a long while now, and am fairly fluent in the ways of flashing . I wanted to post this in the ARHD forum, but I don't post enough to allow it apparently. Also couldnt find this anywhere else, so if this has been asked and answered, sorry. I looked. Anyway, I updated from 4.1.7 to 4.1.8 a couple if days ago and my issue is this: after getting it set up the way I like, adding the below-mentioned additions to the Rom, my phone either has reverted to .7 or is identifying itself as still utilizing the older version. I have checked before and after flashing , so I know its not the Rom being incorrect. I know it isn't using an old restore file, although I originally thought that was the culprit, since I like to try a lot ofnew things and have to restore when it doesn't go well. Bit, I have tried it four times, and every time it has shown 4.1.7 by the time I have finished my flashing. Anyone have a similar issue? Is it the coding on any of the add ons I use that may 'relabel' it somehow? It's really not a big deal, everything works well. But, its driving me nuts not to know. If its something I'm doing wrong,could somebody throw me a bone? Or just tell me its happened to you before too.....

Hi,
You are correct.
The Sony Bravia engine mod is the culprit.
This has been reported.
If it is not an issue for you,then you can sleep tight.
All is well.

Thanks for the response. Do you know if it truly has reverted or just re labelled? I appreciate it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Probably flashes a new build.prop which has the version number in it.
Check the bravia zip for a build.prop and if there is one that's the culprit. It hasn't reverted, just been relabeled

Well, the same thing happened to my phone but with the 3.6.8 XE ROM it went back to .7 tho oO?

Hi,
It's just relabelled.
Nothing to worry about.
Do you find any benefit with the Sony mod?
Sent telepathically from my pyramid

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure I see any real difference, and I watch a lot of video on sensation . The only reason I added it was because I have a bravia in my living room and love it. Are there internal settings that need to be adjusted ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

It's not only the bravia addon but some of the others too (apm, eqs, etc). But there is no need to worry, the change is only in the label.

It is a very problem (BRAVIA engine). Don't worry about number, just enjoy your ROM

Thanks for the help everybody
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Fairly certain the Bravia engine is in a way a hoax - doesnt do anything for graphics on your phone. Also, I started having problems with other features as soon as it was installed luckily did a nandroid backup before the install

What a pointless post. Read the ROM thread and learn about the 'bug' and how to work around it, instead of starting new threads.

Well you can't really work around it, unless you turn off the lock screen in the security settings...

The bug is a very deeply integrated bug. When talking to romannb about hw he fixed it in the gb roms, he said there was some deep smali hacking in the phone apk, and can't remember what he edited.
And afaik, the apk editors have issues decompiling ics apps right now.
Really, the only way to fix it is to disable lockscreen in setting, and install any other one from the market.

[Q] Transition Effects

Hey guys, simply put i am a noob This is my first post on these forums and i need a little help with my HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile, Rooted) I have searched for a similar thread but i could not find a really helpful answer. I want to change the home screen transition effects on my Sensation and i could not find how to do this. I do not want something like SPB Shell 3D because that changes the whole 'Sense 3.0' experience. I want some different transition effects on my homescreen because the outside cube effect is really boring.I want something without giving up Sense 3.0. I have already tried Anim Mod but that did not really help.
Thanks For helping a noob out guys

I think there is no way you can change the 3D effect and keep the sense launcher.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

Is there any way to change the effects on it? Just any general way that is close to keeping the Sense Launcher?
Thanks, elvin18

What is it you like about sense launcher anyway ? What does it have that others don't?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

I just like the overall feel and experience. That might sound dumb but its true. I just really do not like the outside cube effect.

I don't believe there is. The only thing you can change are windows animations and transitions that have nothing to do with sense launcher 3d effect.

Oh give over, don't have a go. Some people like sense and its UI, I like it but I can also appreciate that some people don't like it but I dont go round having a go at those who prefer an alternative launcher. It's his opinion so let it be and get over it
EDIT: to answer the question, no unfortunately the cube animation cannot be changed without going to alternate launchers. If you use an alternative launcher AFAIK you won't be able to use sense widgets
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium

There is a ROM for the sensation (I'm not sure which one) that if you are using 4ext touch recovery with the yes/no function you can choose to have the 3d effect removed, just a flat slide like in earlier sense. Hope this helps!

Hey Guys, i installed MIUI on Android version 2.3.7 and i tried to install Android Revolution HD and when i flashed PG58IMG.ZIP it said the model number is wrong on the bootloader screen and it won't let me get to recovery (4EXT) so I have to take the memory card out to get to recovery. Also i backed up my data, used SuperWipe, and flashed Android Revolution and restarted, my phone gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen and won't boot. So then i took the memory card out an the battery out, and put it back in to get to recovery mode and i went back to MIUI.
What Should I do?
Thanks Guys

Will anybody help with the problem above? ^
Thanks

[Q] By Rooting, Will i lose Beats Audio ?

I was waiting for a stable release of CM9 which came weeks back and i downloaded it on the same day itself.
I love love love the Sense UI, the lockscreen and way i get music, missed calls and messages over it which has been restraining me from rooting along with the new black notification bar !
Another thing holding me back is that after rooting and flashing CM9 I will most definitely lose the Beats Audio Integration right ?
So...suggestions ?

If you love Sense, dont switch to Cyanogen. Its nothing like Sense.
But you will still benefit from rooting. And if you want to upgrade your user experience try out some of the other Sense based roms that will let you keep Sense and Beats and give you more stability and options

I'll wait till a fix and then try sense based ROM's. I prefer a stable ROM since i'm gonna use the phone everyday. And suggestions if you have a good Sense based ROM in mind ?

You can always try sense 4 ROMs. In my opinion the UI is even better than sense 3.6 and you lose none of the great intuitive widgets or beats audio that HTC provide. Viper is quite popular when it comes to sense 4. Link to the thread is in my sig.

Yeah, Sense 4 is better, love the dialer especially Anyways, can i have the pure sense 4 look from the Viper ROM ?
I know and have read a lot that it is one of the best and stable ROM for sensations but i dont really like the blue-blue tinge to everything and the altered lock-screen. But, i know this only from the 3-5 screenshots i have seen of it....i am relying on you all to explain it to me (or you could post the thread which has more screenshots than the official thread)
Meanwhile i will YouTube it Thank for the help
Btw, your work on operator logo's is just amazing just checked it out. Could i use it on another ROM though or only Viper ?

Thank you for your compliment! always nice to hear my work is appreciated. But unfortunately, its only for the viperS (sensation) or viperX (one x) ROMs.
As for pure sense 4, viper has it. The screenshot you prob saw was the AOSP lockscreen you can switch to in the tweaks. It's the standard lockring from 3.6 otherwise. As for the blue tinge, I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. There's no blue tinge to anything I've seen while using the ROM. Just flash it to try it out. You won't be disappointed!!!

I think you have seen the blue then from jerrytans all in one theme, just flashing viper s alone gives you a really stock sense 4 feel by default
