Problems with HTC launcher crashing and other apps crashing

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?

I'm guessing you have the unrooted HTC Rom. Not all apps can be shifted to sd card. Some which need to remain in memory like Widgets cannot be moved. I'm not sure of your overheating problem though.

Yh I know
The apps that I was able to me move before are failing to be moved now
I.dunno why .

Maybe the newer version of the same app has a resident portion in INternal..Not that it makes sense!

Sorry but wat ?
This isn't helping :S
Is there anyway to sort it out ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

easiest is by rooting it, put in a custom rom with app2sd+ and problem solved, phone heating up even on standby might be because of background services of apps

For your rebooting problem it happens to a lot of HTC Desires its a problem with the motherboard. You will need to send it off to HTC to get it fixed.

Alright i guess I gotta send it to HTC then

Now I can't access emails, the market or anything Google
Browser works and xda and settings are working right

Do a full wipe again, if you get access to the market anytime soon download lookout and let it scan your phone. But best bet start from scratch

Turns out it wasn't a virus, its the USB port thinking its docking lol

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.
Cheers.

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.

Apply V6 Supercharger solve all problems.

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

The Agenda calendar widget crashes Sense everytime i look at it. My wife has a One S and the same widget crashes sense on that too

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.

Strange effects after ending a call

Sometimes having weird stuff happening after i end a call: goes to some random contact in edit mode / dropbox app opens / etc
Tested carefully and it's not due to accidental touches around the "end call" button, it even did it once or twice without me ending the call...call ended by the other side, calling screen got closed and some contact popped out.
happens rarely, but wtf?

Are u on custom rom???
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm unrooted and I get the same things. It's like I pushed something bit I heaven't. I hope that HTC will address this issue in their next update
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

The thing that pops up... is it the last thing you used or used recently?

Like cronus101 asked, if the apps that show after ending the call are the most recently used apps, then I'm guessing HTC Sense (the launcher) is crashing each time and since there's no home screen to go to, it displays the last used app. Pressing back will also cycle through the recently used. This is my guess. Try clearing data of HTC Sense in Settings-Manage apps. The best way to get rid of this is to do a factory reset and start afresh. There could be many reasons why Sense is crashing. This behaviour is typical of any launcher when it FCs. If you don't want to factory reset, you can try using a different launcher (Apex, Nova) and see if this still happens.

Hm, out of ideas. Factory reset should fix it once and for all.
