[Q] Sense 3.0 keeps reloading

It happens several times each day. Sometimes, after getting out of an app to go back to Home, it seems like Sense reloads. It shows the HTC white screen and then "Loading..." for a few seconds before the home screen shows up. It's not something that affects functionality but it sure is annoying. If someone knows how to fix this or why it is happening, please, let me know. Thanks.

this happens to me to, but it is everytime i install or update a new app

Just means that your device ran out of memory to hold sense in, and Since rosie (HTC Sense Launcher name) went out of memory (probably because the app you that you had running used up alot of memory and resources), your phone needs to reload rosie again. Happens to everyone at least once. My advice would be to not run so many apps at once, and take off some widgets/apps off the screen. Will lessen your chance of your sensation having to boot rosie from its memory. Hope i helped.

Thanks, Shaquiel, Good luck with unlocking the bootloader. I'm following your work
BTW, most of the time I'm just using the stock music app. I had already gotten rid of most widgets too.

The same thing is happening to my phone. I just did a wipe and I am still having the same problem.

I gave tmobile a call about the sense force close and they said that a 3rd party app may be causing the problem. Then I called htc and they said it is a defective phone and to request a replacement.

It may be due to heavy RAM memory usage slowing it down to a (how us ex-iPhone users say) respring to clear all the memory. Plus Sense is a beast that isn't cool towards RAM. Out of the box you see in the Task Manager you get at MOST 200mb and average 150mb.
Just wait for your phone to be S-Off and dip into the Roms. Get Gingerbread, real Gingerbread. Will defiantly lift the weight off of the RAM.

Why waste your time..did u just read what he said???? its a memory leak...

I had the same issue. I installed Launcher Pro and haven't had any issues since. It's a pretty common problem. I don't think its a defective phone.

I can't wait for S-off. I removed the Weather Clock widget and Sense seems to reboot less.

the sensation has 768MB but only 558MB in total there is something wrong

i've had occasional reloading before but every time I change a setting or open up text messages when I close out of that task it reloads Sense. At least 25 times in a row. Trying a reboot. I will have to go back to my N1 if this persists.

Delete the htc sense account and see if that fixes your problem.

I would but last time I did that I had to recreate another. I disabled all the syncs and changed from push to manual. Maybe that will have some impact- and possibly save my battery.

Any time the free RAM drops to a certain level Android will bump off Sense, as already mentioned. This isn't a bug per se, just a ramification of the device not having enough RAM (if it didn't have Sense it would have enough RAM, but Sense uses quite a bit). Happens to me whenever I use a high quality game, or if I have enough open tasks consuming RAM.

My phone reloaded sense several times a day. Every time I sideloaded an app, every time I played a game, every time I browsed the web for more than 5 mins...etc. I even tried a factory reset and the same thing kept happening. I got tired of that and my screen seemed loose so I took it back and got a brand new one a few days ago. The new one hasn't reloaded Sense once. I've sideloaded apps through Amazon, and played a few games, this one is MUCH better. I would recommed if it hasn't been 14 days since you bought it, try taking it back and getting a new one if Sense is reloading constantly. It worked for me!

If there isn't a memory leak in Sense they are guilty of horrible product design. This was happening to me after doing nothing at all without a ton of widgets or other background apps.

This one I havent opened is a China 6/7/11 SH167T.

son of a *****........****ing D U S T smh - of course the power button is fine. Another 14 days on this one. Getting tired of this crap.

[Q] Nexus gets slower the longer it's on

Hello all,
I've been a long time visitor on XDA and really appreciate the community for everything it does in advancing Android development.
I just recently got the Nexus S i9020T. It's an amazing phone, but I've been running into a few strange things. Besides the typical self-rebooting every day or so it lags... A LOT. Usually, by the end of my work day, if I haven't rebooted it manually it takes ages to do anything... opening apps, switching apps, even key presses are seconds later than they are supposed to be. It's almost impossible to operate my Nexus in this state, and it makes me disappointed as an Android user that I have to either reboot my phone every couple of hours or deal with increasingly slower responses. I have SeePU and it shows that I have low RAM every time this happens. I've read that task managers aren't at all helpful so I've tried to avoid those at all costs.
Has anyone run into this problem or know of any solutions? I don't even run that many apps. I used to use my Nexus One more heavily than I do this phone and it never lagged to this proportion before.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 NS (2.3.3) with the legacy build of Netarchy Kernel. This problem really seems to be directly linked with the amount of apps running and how long the phone has been active. Other than using fewer apps, what advice would you recommend?
Thanks in advance in helping me resolve this. I feel like phone is crippled in this state.

How to properly maintenance your G2X.

Ok, so my question is, what should I do to maintain my phones speed, I recently been noticing my phone has getting a bit laggy. Out of the blue a few times a week it laggs no matter what I do for a few minutes?
Is there a few steps I can follow to free up memory or some stuff I should clear every few weeks? Boot cycles? Anything?
Thanks guys.

I NEVER stick with one ROM for more than a week, or I'll usually do a factory reset every few days. A reboot once a day also helps... But whatever you do, DO NOT use a Task Killer to free up memory, Android manages memory perfectly fine without any 3rd party apps.

Reboot every couple of days. The more "stuff" running at once, the laggier you're phone will feel. Don't use a task killer, but DO make sure only the apps and widgets you want running are actually running. A lot of apps will sync and update information in the background and that means fewer CPU cycles for the things you want them for.

Linux, for the most part, requires no maintenance beyond common sense. You do not have to worry about memory, Android can manage it perfectly well in its own.

Yeah I am going to start power cycling my phone like every 4-5 days, and I just noticed (still giving it time) clearing out my text messages helped.
P.S. Know of any apps that you can schedule a reboot?

Memory leak?

Does anybody have feeling of huge memory leak?
My phone killed every app and sometimes even killed activities until reboot.

If you're on 5.0, then yes, everyone has it. Well known about.

Read about it extensively here but can't say I suffer from it myself.

I've had the launcher redraw itself once, and that was after 4 days uptime. Other than that it's been fine for me too
Whether this is because I keep all apps cleared when not in use I don't know though

I'm guessing not because I never clear anything. But certainly my most recent handful of apps when brought back from recents all seem to open back up in their cached states instantaneously. I also can't see any evidence of memory leak when looking at RAM info.
I don't use GEL so cannot attest to any redraws there.

i use GEL, but see 0 evidence on my nexus 5 of a memory leak. no redraws, my recents always bring me back to where i was, browser stays in memory, and have plenty of free ram hanging around.

Same here. Not a SINGLE launcher redraw unless I purposefully killed it for whatever reason. Always have a large amount of RAM free. Don't know what people are complaining about lol.

I'm on stock, and it's system that starts hoarding the RAM, even though there is 600MB free ProcStats lists RAM usage as critical.
I'd like it to be my setup, so then I could bloody fix it ?

Doesn't happen here. Usually have about 1GB RAM free.

On completely stock N5 upgraded via OTA - serious problems as well. I've tried some of the various mitigation strategies noted online, disabling various google apps, fiddling with wifi, etc, but what works best for me for now is just rebooting my phone every morning, and just dealing with poor battery life.
Here is one thread:
https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1701
There are a number of other ones as well.

this happens to me as well. i found that it may related to wi-fi. android l was originally delayed due to some w-fi issue.
i keep my wi-fi turned off, then reboot. it's been good since. i posted my findings in google issue tracker (Issue 79729). someone else confirmed it helps them by keeping wi-fi off.
see below google issue tracker

Same problem here. Sometimes it is as low as 170 MB. It became difficult to take screenshot of this. So I had to take a picture from my friend's phone

Rebooted a couple hours ago but its the same as after 48 hours.
Also, get rid of that BatteryGuru crap.

All I know is if I don't reboot, after 1-2 days my phone will randomly freeze and become unresponsive until a reboot. Completely stock and the only 3rd party services in the background are Dashclock (35MB) and Llama (10MB).
It may have gotten better when I switched back to using 2.4Ghz WiFi mode but I can't tell since I reboot nightly now as a precaution.

Lol that is only 10 hours after a reboot. Give it a couple days you might notice something then.
BTW I almost forgot, I disabled the browser tab integration because the 2 times the phone froze were while opening URL links. Once through a Reddit app and once through Chrome itself. Also before the phone froze completely it was displaying signs of sluggishness and being used fairly heavily on a mobile data connection.
I usually have multiple apps in my recents menu and they still often reload, but I'm going to try not rebooting for a few days to see if it freezes up again.

I will come here specifically to show you even after a week I'll have no memory leaks. And the reason its at 10h hours was because my phone had died. I don't normally let my phone die and its up for countless days
So far 14hrs but I'll comeback everyday just to prove the point, only certain people have this and that it isn't a Lollipop issue.

If you feel it is necessary. That doesn't prove anything to me personally, my memory use seemed normal even as my phone became sluggish and eventually froze completely. All your screenshot tells me is you're running geeenify, perhaps that is helping? I may have even fixed my issue by disabling tab integration, something you might not be using. We all use different settings after all.
The only reason I think it might be memory related is because apps in the recents menu are frequently cleared from RAM.

A9 has become very slow

Have noticed over the last couple of days that my phone has become very slow.
It's a sim free phone in the UK and completely stock. I have not installed anything new app wise or made any kind of changes I can put it down to. When first purchased I found the phone to be very snappy in and out of apps despite the mid range hardware and 2gb ram.
I have no more than a dozen as installed . Just don't understand what's going on as it seems like there is a delay when you select anything or switch in and out of the app tray etc.

Rebooting it doesn't help?

Funny enough it does seem to have improved things. It was almost like the old Samsung slow down the get on the galaxy phones. Very strange, will just have to monitor it and see how things go.

What ext sd card you are using? And did you merge it with internal sd card?
If not and your phone is just as simple and clean as you mentioned just earse it to factory default by going to reset

Am using a SanDisk ultra 64gb card but have not used apps etc on it as don't really have many downloaded apps and didn't see the needed to free up space.
Don't really want to completely reset my phone.

My doesn't get hot, it just stupidly slow, and really annoying, but O2 haven't related the 6.0.1 Firmware so maybe that might fix the performance? otherwise I might root it and overclock it a little...
Really annoying as its only 4 months into a 2 year phone contract!

In that case i suggest you to contact htc support or your carrier to demande a new device.
try root thing at last when you have no solutions or into a dead end.
Because root will remove the warrant.

I have 4 HTC devices, all of them are no issues.

Try to use a Task killer app, perhaps the 2GB ram have reached max capacity, kill some apps that you are not using and for the love of God disable Google bloatwares like hangout.google books...

My A9 has become extremely slow in the last couple of days.. I have tried dumping cache, cleansing apps, but nothing is working .. it seems that alot of people are experiencing the same thing at the same time .. what is going on ? This phone is becoming an embarrassment for the price I paid for it.

Yeah mine too. It's starting to drive me mad.
Texting is getting worse. Starts fine and just doesn't seem to keep up.

mine too... i'm starting to think about changing rom to cyanogenmod...

It's somehow weird to see that most people who are complaining here are new created account just to say bad things about the A9....SAMSUNG PAID DUDES AGAIN

I kinda have same issue,the phone has been turning off on it's own the last couple of days and then one time when i turned it on a lot of it's features aren't working,notifications doesn't show up on the notificationbar and i can't use shortcuts for gps,etc from it anymore and the onscreen home button doesn't get me home and the touch button doesn't too,it so slow and takes time to load the apps so i can tap on one of em,idk what happened,please help!

I bought one for my girlfriend, HTC one A9 16gb but with more than 5 completely lost... At the beginning everything was just fine, great speed and performance.
Because of it's lack of memory I decided to use the SD card as internal storage, micro SD 64Gb Sandisk class 10. After the format the HTC showed alert about the speed of the SD, it could not be enough fast.
After reinstalling apps and moving the heaviest to the SD it started to be very slow, WhatsApp took too much to open and even Google maps couldn't load properly, taking ages to work.
I ended up taking the SD out, using it as normal external storage. It went back to normal and now works good, the only thing now is that she only had 1.5Gb left for the apps and it runs out super fast just because of the thumbnails images and cache.
Has anyone tried with a high speed SD? Or has noticed this same problem?
