Problems with HTC launcher crashing and other apps crashing - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having serious problems with my phone as of lately. I've flashed multiple different Roms and they all seem to follow the same steps of problems.
First when I flash a rom everything seems to work out really well. Then the HTC sense com.HTC.launcher starts to lag and then starts to crash more frequently coming in and out of turning the screen off. Then other programs stop working. Currently its setcpu and the powercontrol widget no longer work on top of HTC sense crashing and lagging.
Anyone ever hear of such problems consistently happening?

When this happens, do you see a white htc screen?

youtube constantly failing to play.

when froyo ota was first released I installed it and everything was fine but I kept having problems with youtube. some videos would play but most would say sorry this video cannot be played. I did a factory reset and still got the same problem. the only change i have done is the move any apps2sd mid. could this be the cause. as anyone else experienced this?
Same thing here. I don't think it's anything you have done, the app just sucks. I had a HTC Hero with 1.5 with this problem. Then, upgraded to 2.1 and the problem was gone. Now, with HTC Desire I'm having the same problem again with 2.2. The videos usually start playing if you keep hitting 'play' for a few times, but they might also stop while playing.. Very annoying.
I wonder how widespread this problem is?
Looks like almost everybody with 2.2 have this problem (including me)
yeah me too
Same here...

has anyone tried using a 2.1 youtube.apk on a 2.2 rom?
Try turning off HQ. Anything I wanted to watch on youtube kept throwing up the same error but once I turned off HQ it worked fine for me.
At least its not just me then. Disabling high quality is no good to me. It helps to play the video but it looks and sounds a lot worse.
I hope they fix this somehow.
Yup, HQ disabled fixes this, but its not very usable solution...

I would try if you tell me where to get it.
I have the same problem and after observing it it seems it tends to happen when the data connection is not so good.sometimes my wifi drops and I can see when it happens looking at the lights on the modem.when I am on gprs videos don't play generally when the signal bars go down.

My connection is perfect. But it still happens so I'm certain its the app.
I dont think that its because of the connection too. In my case it always happens at the near end of a video that it stops playing and an error appears.
Is it just me or have this new radio rom 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 fixed this playback problem? Just flashed it in my LeeDrOiD 2.0a and tested few videos. Not a single fail/errors yet after 10+ randomly selected videos. Can someone test this too?

If I where u I'd wait a few days and let us know how it is. Because when I factory reset my froyo it works fine for a few hours then the problem starts again.

I was already running this rom with 2 older radios, and both had this issue. I'm not saying this new radio fixes it, but I really hope so.
Anyways, I continue testing and will report if there's errors or not.

I flashed the new radio but i still got the problem. Im using the official froyo rom.

Tweetdeck widgets keep disappearing...

Has anyone had problems with the Tweetdeck widgets disappearing?
It seems to happen if restarting the phone.
Only way to get them back is to reinstall Tweetdeck. And even that sometimes takes 2-3 attempt to get them to appear.
I'm currently running LeeDrOid 1.8, looking to update shortly. ;-)

Make sure you have it installed on your phone memory not on sd.
Hope this helps.
I did move it to the phone memory but it still happened. :-[
Perhaps an install straight to phone may be better.

Cm7 blank screen and no response

Hi all,
I tried cm7 and switched to leedroid because I had problems with answering and making calls (black screen when phone rings, no way to interact with it).
Anyone else had this issue and knows how to solve it?
It's Bravo device.
Cheers,
J.

Do you control the cpu speed in any way?
If yes make sure you have at least 245Mhz when screen is off.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
No, I do not...unless CM guys coded it in their ROM. This problem happens on plain installation without any tweaking afterward.
Anyone? Come one guys!
Are you in CM7 Hboot ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Did u do a full wipe before flashing cm7? Did u install the recommended radio for cm7?

Nope, Brovo sense Hboot.
Everything else works perfect...only wnen receiving calls and sometimes when making calls screen goes blank, notification bar visible but not responsive, buttons lit, but unresponsive. All of that for 30 sec or so...
Both when receiving a call or when making one this behavior is completelly random as I could have figured it out.

Yes and Yes
Followed the instructions by CM team. Also, as mentioned in previous post, this behavior is random. 10% of outgoing calls and 40% in incoming calls. Another thing: happens only when locked, or when locked during calls by proximity sensor.
Cheers,
J.
In that case do you use a screenprotector?

I have the black screen issue. Just done a full reflash again. I get the black screen on a lot apps actually but its very random.
I think it might be due to s2e app that is used for ext3 partition.
Black screen
Ive been getting this alot lately too. My phone rings and it shows who calling but no sliders, or completely black screen with just notification bar. If I swipe where it would be though it still answers. Also when im in settings nothing but the notification bar, but if I tap the screen it brings up what ever option would have been there. getting kind of annoying.

Sense crashing

Is anyone else having a problem with Sense continually crashing? Almost every other time I go into an app and use it for any length of time, when I exit the app Sense has crashed and I have to watch the stupid loading animation while it restarts. It's happening really regularly.

Check how much ram is free.
And check the developers options for background tasks.
Yup noticed that too. This needs to be updated not liking sense.

Incredible how much ram Sense is taking up.
I figured it would take less considering it's more stream lined to look at compared to say Sense 3.
At times it feels like we've got two operating systems competing with each other for resources but slapped together.
It's definitely not ram related. It just did it again with 313 mb free.

I initially noticed this too. Then I went and disabled auto updates to HTC sense and voila, no more seemingly crashes in Sense.

Hi globalgpj, can you tell me how you disabled auto updates? I got my new device yesterday and I find that my touch screen and buttons become unresponsive fairly often. The only solution is to press the power button briefly to switch off the screen and on again and the response is ok.
Thanks.
I had this problem too 1st time i started my phone.
What helped for me was a complete system restore and skip the setup-wizard and do all that manually one in SENSE.
Here it shows how it was on my phone (look at 0:30)
Goog luck!

If this bothers you return the phone. Htc has had this issue since the Sensation. It will rear its head at some point. It's because Sense uses too much ram and isn't locked in memory so Android will dump it from ram to make room for other apps and then it has to reload which takes longer than most launchers. This reason alone is why I'm staying away from Sense. Try using an 3rd party launcher and it'll work better.

You don't understand. This issue has been confirmed by many people on Sensation running Gingerbread and ICS including me. Adding a line to the build file forcing Sense to be locked in memory. The moment you remove that line (how it is by default) it starts happening.
It's fine, just don't expect this issue to be fixed because to htc its not an issue. It's just the way it is.

I can't remember exactly. But it did solve my problem of sense constantly loading which causes lag or delay in sense loading.
However, check the following:
Go into settings, and at the very bottom is Developer options. Click this option. Then see if this item is ticked :"Show screen updates"... if it is ticked, untick it.
The only thing I have ticked in this option is "Animation", everything else is unticked.
The other thing I also do, is I try not to have my widgets updated constantly. I have my emails checked only every 3 hours, my news reader, greader pro, every 12 hours.
Let me know if this has helped you.

I believe you can only use this script with a rooted device. Is that correct ?
Many people with HTC One X may be locked into a carrier for some period of time and therefore on a Stock ROM !
adding echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to the local.prop solved the problem on my Desire Z, luckily temproot was enough to edit the file.
I don't suppose there is a way to temproot the One X yet?! I'm not interested in perm rooting my One just yet... I'm too fond of my 2yrs. warranty

This is a confirmed bug (countless people reported it).
I find this very strange.. i have in the last week had one force close on sense, other than that it has been fine
I haven't seen a single force close on anything yet. Had a few random close-without errors on Route 66 and one or two on Sygic, but this is infinitely more stable than my ICS Asus Transformers...

I have to agree with you . That was my problem in the beginning. So I installed Touch Calendar app, and since then, no more problems.

PS. I also went into SETTINGS, clicked on "Accounts and Sync" and check under my gmail account to see how many things were auto syncing. I removed most of them and chose to do them when I needed to. This helped conserve battery and possibly a smoother SENSE operation.

[Q] CM10 lock screen not responsive to touch

I'm using CM10 on my GSM device for almost two weeks and some times on the lock screen touchscreen become unresponsive and I can not slide the circle. I've been experiencing this problem once or twice a day. Is there a solution to that? as far as i researched this is not a known issue.
Take a logcat with catlog and send it to the dev, as we can't know the cause just from that. It happened to me just once I think
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
The dev discontinued the Rom. I'm also running cm 10 and sometimes get that problem. I suggest you switch roms or if you get that problem again just restart your phone

Uncheck 'Screen-Off Animation' from the settings, if it selected, reboot and problem will go away...
