Hi All,
I have a problem with my HTC butterfly. I bought this phone 10 days ago and am noticing a bit of a lag when i play jetpack joyride game. I also have a HTC one XL which is a Dual core phone, but works without any lags. Other than that, even Minion rush game on my HTC butterfly seems to be not up to the mark, compared to HTC one XL. Phone calls(over cellular radio), application response and Sense 4 does not have any Lag at all. I reset the phone to factory defaults, installed only jetpack joyride, same result. it lags a little bit.
Other problem with the phone is Skype and viber(havent tried any other application though).
In Skype, outbound voice works fine without any issues. Inbound voice starts to break after few seconds of the call. Same with Viber app. I did notice something funny, when someone makes a call, the phone's screen turns off. I only have issues when the phone screen goes off on a call or when i forcefully lock the phone when I am on a call. No issues with the screen is on!!
Funny part...
I wanted to be sure that its not a hardware fault, I downloaded asphalt 8, was impressed with the game graphics. It was performing "ok", i'd say. I set the graphics to "high" instead of medium, and vola!! it performs much better than "medium" settings!!
I'm kind of lost right now. Should I return this phone and get another one ?(I have 30 days time, 20 days more to go) or give it HTC service center for flashing the ROM again ? or is it something with viber and skype alone ? I also put the phone in airplane mode, made a skype call and with the screen turned off completely, the same result.
I'm on Jelly bean 4.1.1. Its a HTC butterfly x920D - Indian version. and HTC one XL is on JB 4.0.4, rooted. I do not want to upgrade to sense 5, because I bought HTC butterfly mainly for the Sense 4+ feature and personalization.
Can anyone think of any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a tmobile branded HTC sensation.
Can anyone test the following app and see if they get the same issue.
(no links allowed even to market?)
It's Talking Tom Cat by OUTFIT7 (the free version) in android market
After playing for a few minutes, the audio goes off randomly. The phone lags (for example dialpad lags). Restarting the phone brings it back to life.
I never had this issue with other other android phones. I wonder if this is an issue with software/hardware
specifically related to HTC sensation (maybe an issue with sound recorded?).
thanks
it is a problem with this aplications , it crashes the phone sound driver

don't be alarm , just restart your phone , it wil not work with shut down , you must restart it
Would that update be coming soon to tmobile branded version anytime soon? If not, I am thinking of sending the phone back.
I don't really think is a problem with the phone it self , that app could be upgraded or the people at htc figure it out why in some applications the sound stops working .
Just try not tu use that app
I have no solution other than uninstall that horrendous app now before we take away your man card.
Returning your phone over..... An app?

Haha I would normally agree but this app is a real good girl magnet. They think its "cute" lol.
Got a few gripes with this rom. it's got a beautiful interface, runs smooth (most of the time) but here's the thing. 1, the video recorder is extremely laggy, 2, the 3g goes out a lot, especially when sending or receiving mms, 3, the network all together drops at times, I'm on T-Mobile and the phone will just drop from T-Mobile all together unless I manually go back in and connect it. 3, my calls drop a lot, I'm not sure if it's my phone or theirs but just last night it cut out like 5 times, 4, the phone freezes when I answer it, not EVERY single time but it happens. 5, the market did not update itself and i had to manually install it from somewhere. I tried to download the new england patriots 2011 app and it told me my device was compatible. Dont know whats up with that. I want to know if there are, or will be, fixes for this. I love the rom but the glitches make it hard to enjoy.

Suggestions on wihch one to use? Looks like there's a few out there
Seriously, around 10pm at night my phones touchscreen becomes very slow and unresponsive and the only way to fix it is a reboot. this only happens when connected to wi-fi and only at night.
More over when playing games sometimes it seems to stop being a multi-touch screen. that is to say playing Gangstar for example if i am walking forward and press the attack button the virtual analog stick stops responding.
Is my phone defective or is this a common problem? I am on an unrooted desire s from Three.
SetCPU/ Juice Defender/ Any other crapware that could be screwing with your processes installed?
Which radio do you have installed? You can update your radio without rooting.
I dont have setcpu or juice defender, i have lookout mobile. might that be doing it? also using cloud based text prediction with swiftkey x.
As for the radio i'm fairly new to android, how do i find that out?
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband version 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
Kernal 2.6.35.10-g2ee27f5

If all that gibberish helps?
I have lookout. No slow down here.

yeah I didn't think that would be causing it. It's just weird. I guess I'll look at using a newer radio or wait for the official update due this week sometime.

I can't recommend either of those. If it was your radio you'd see poor performance across the board, not just kicking in a set time.
The official update seems to have more problems and issues than Jordan. I see a new thread daily in the Q&A section about new issues since the OTA update. Avoid it like you'd avoid Jordan.
The best way to rule out user error is to factory reset. If it's a hardware fault of the phone, the problem will persist and you know it (unfortunately) needs to go back for repair. Backup what you need, and try it. After the restore, try not to put anything back on app wise until after 10pm. Perhaps do the wipe at 9pm. Use google maps to test multi-touch. Mybackup Pro from the market, although not free, does have a trial period (or it used to) that should suffice for this experiment. Plus for non-rooted users, it's worth paying for as a backup app. Can even save your home-screen arrangement.
If it stops then you know it was something you had installed/set-up or a hiccup with your ROM. To find out which from here it is trial-and-error. Install this which gives you back the battery usage monitor Froyo (Android 2.2) used to have....

I'm assuming here that poor laggy screen response will go hand-in-hand with battery drain. Something kicking off at 10pm on WiFi should make itself apparent by moving quickly up the list between 9pm and 11pm.
Let me know if this helps. If not we can try a few other ideas out.
Thank you, I tried a factory reset last week, the problem was fine for a while but this weekend it started again, once again playing gangstar or any game that requires multi touch becomes unresponsive and te only way to fix it is a soft reset. I guess I got a defective phone. damn. its only 2 weeks old too.

So all is fine until gangstar goes on? I must admit i don't play many games, but it does sound like the game is at the root of this. Any other similar reports on the game in the market? Tried emailing the dev? Still don't understand why 10pm would be significant. Is it ok playing this game at other times? What happens if you manually change your clock to 9:55pm during the day?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
No not just gangstar, Gameboid, N64oid, GBAoid, NOVA, Spider-Man, most games.
I know but its always 10pm and happens every few hours after that until I go to bed. its just bizarre but the time might be a coincidense?
This may be a bit "out there" and a wild guess, but are you using a non-official charger when you play games? Say at around 10pm? I have heard that the cheap chargers from Hong Kong / China although they spit out 5VDC, it's such a noisy unrectified rippled DC output it hampers touch screen performance. See these examples...

Best way to check would be to use that multi touch test app mentioned in the last clip. Should tell you if your chargers output is causing the multi touch issue. Gotta be worth a try. HTC are taking up to 5 Weeks to get repairs done. My friend returned his desire s recently (fried eMMC chip) and that's how long it took!

Thanks wnp, i've come to the conclusion that it's faulty however. "Ghost images" are now starting to appear on my phone. Like right now even though I'm on the xda app I can faintly see my sense clock and icons.
Very frustrating.

Hello,
As being new to the forum, I decided to post my problem on here due to most people had similar problem to me.
As recently, my phone has been becoming more often that the lock screen will become black and the icons will show with the ring. This happens at random and can be a pain to deal with. And a week ago, this has happened once, where the screen was completely black, but I was able to see the media volume due to I was listening to music at the time.
Information That May Be Of Use
Android Version 4.0.3 Stock
Sense Version 3.6
I had success rooting in the past, but this was a ball ache to do, Then I installed Beats Audio, Which completely bricked my phone.

Thanks,
Mark.
Did you try to set another lockscreen and return again to your current one to see if you still have that black screen?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I'll give changing the lockscreen from default to the clock or weather a go, but this problem occurs at random, so if I encounter a problem, I will let you know. The way in which I have to reset the phone to fix is I have to take the battery out and put it back on again.
Just to add, the phone is locked up and is completely unusable and when I'm listening to music, I unplug the headphones and the sound plays out of the speaker. I read up on it and it may be an hardware fault but I have never dropped my phone and have taken good care of it.
Maybe this weekend, I'm going to attempt to flash Android Revolution HD 7.3 due to the amount of reviews of how smooth it is and that.
It's been about 2 weeks now and the lock screen has not crashed on me after settting it back to the default, somehow this has fixed the problem I have been having.
I didn't get chance to flash the phone last weekend, but hope to this weekend, that Android revolution might help due to the low RAM problems I've been having.

Dear All,

Now my camera won't launch, google app store crashes, Go Locker setting section won't open. I didn't install any new app. Can anyone please help me in this regard. Thanks a lot
