phone sense UI keeps force closing.

just uninstalled some apps and now my desire keeps restarting the sense saying "the application HTC sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectadley.please try again. phone is now useless even using an app killer on sense it just restarts and round in circles i go. now unable to use any function of the phone has any one encountered this and can help?

same here
did you manage to find a solution to the problem ?
reinstalling all the removed application hasn't changed a thingh - keeps crashing
I tought the problem might have been with either some LCOALE plug-in that where still in some profiles o Beautiful Widget that where still on some screen but reinstalling them makes no difference
Hard reset is the only option i can see at the moment

I've encountered his yesterday when I tried to switch to another Scene.
Anyway, I found a way around this without having to hard reset.
Everytime you see the force close button, tap it. But all the while, spam the hardware search key until the search bar shows up. Type the first few letters for "Applications". You should be able to access the Applications settings menu. Go into "Manage applications". Go into "HTC Sense" and tap "Clear data". This will erase all your Scenes but it's better than doing a hard reset.

thanks ohyeahar your suggestion was very helpfull
I got to the applications but "manage application" would force close as well - so I searched for settings and was able to get to "Personalize" and "Change the Scenes" to the "Clean State" (probably any othe default scene would have worked as well) and stopping the FC loop -
that leades me to belive the problem was probably caused by beautiful widged being uninstalled (it was my clock)

The easiest solution to this type of problem is to go into safe mode.
Power down the device, and then power on again whilst holding down Menu, and keep Menu held down until the device is fully booted.
You will now be in safe mode (it will say safe mode in the bottom left corner), which prevents all 3rd party apps and widgets from running.
You can then uninstall/delete or whatever.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks Dave was not aware of that possibility and I'm sure it'll be usefull in the future

FC again
well I'm having the same problem again ....
I probably got a bit over confident knowing that a safe mode existed and tried to switch to a saved screen configuration that still included the BW clock and the loop started all over again but now - even after deleting all the custom scenes - even choosing the clean slate scene doesn't help
if I go in SafeMode it still FC the sense UI and reboots the device.....
and "Manage Application" was FC even before when everything also was working
I feel like I'm back using WinMobile phones :-(

even after killing all the running processes it still do the same FC loop - I'll guess there are no other option but to HR
what will I lose by doing-it? and what is the best procedure to use?
thanks

Try this site myhtcdesire.com/tutorials as it has details for fixing the problem.

thanks for the link chesterdob but that solution was already posted by ohyeahar (look at post #3) and in my case doesn't work becouse "manage applications" causes a FC of it's own
how can I make a Hard Reset in this situation ?

[Q] Strangest thing ever.......

So ive just turned on my phone to browse the web using ICS Browser + and on each and every page i open i get a voice telling me which page im on........
If i click a link then the voice reads out the link and im taken to the next page......
If i click the search bar on my home screen and type 'dinosaurs' (example) and hit enter im taken to google and the voive says "dinosaurs - google search"
Ive killed all programs/rebooted my phone and still it persists..... even tried on stock browser too.
Im on International stock 1.28 if it makes a difference!
Any idea whats going on and how i can turn this off?
UPDATE - played around with a few settings and i made sure that the 'talkback' feature in 'accessibilty' was turned off but still i got the voice.
Remembered that i installed 'Widgetsoid' a little while ago and tried turning off its notification ability in the same menu as 'talkback' and the voice went away.
Perhaps there is a conflict here and having 'widgetsoid' allowed in this menu somehow enables 'talkback' to run even if its not checked in the box........
Very strange lol

Haha I had the exactly same problem when I first got my Galaxy Nexus, It's incredibly irritating and annoying.
It's a bug in ICS; when something is ticked in the Accessibility menu other ones randomly activate too! As far as I know, there's no way to properly fix it. ><

[Q] Can't reject call with a message

Hi,
When i get a call and i click on "decline" button, i should get a pop up allowing me to send a quick message or make a reminder about calling back.
I checked and the relevant options are ticked on in the phone settings section.
What happen though is that i decline the call and the pop up shows for a split second and disappear :\
I attached a picture of the evasive pop up.
I tried ticking the option on and off, rebooting, nothing helps.
The only thing that seemed like it changed was resetting the phone (on power menu, you can reboot and delete temp files or something like that). That made the feature work once, but on the seconds time i declined a call it dissapeared again.
I did make sure the "Don't show this again" option is UNCHECKED.
I searched XDA forums and google, and only found one relevant topic which did not solved my issue.
Help...?

You might just have to do a complete factory reset. Sometimes, system functions can get screwed up for no apparent reason (it is usually something else you installed). Are you stock or on a custom ROM?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I guess that deep inside me, i knew you would recommend that...
The device is new. Bought it last week. it's stock, unrooted, untouched.
I did a lot of rom changes before with my other device (GS3) so i'm no stranger to factory reset, but every time i used it was to completely change a rom. I have never done it on a brand new device in order to actually reset a glitch...
Can you tell me what exactly will factory reset delete? What will i loose? any personal data? apps? app setttings? what else?
Thanks :cyclops:

WiFi notification setting broke after 5.1.1 update

I am always aware when I'm connected to WiFi so I've had the setting in WiFi settings for notifications when connected or nearby WiFi turned off. But when I did the 5.1.1 update it seems to be showing the persistent notification again. When I went into the settings the box is still unchecked and when I toggle it is does nothing at all. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it? Any information would be appreciated.
Things I've already tried 1) restart phone both with it checked and unchecked 2) factory reset phone 3) force stopped notification

The pesky noticed can not be removed as far as I know.

That's weird. It was on 5.0.1

Looks like a bug...

in order to get rid of the notification (i know how to do this cause of the same exact bug on the S4 a few years back)
1. Settings
2. Applications
3. Application Manager
4. Swipe to all
5. Tap on android system
6. Tap on force stop.
That should get rid of the notification.

Not worth the hastle everytime the wifi is turned on!

Just wanted to update everyone who might have the same problem. It seems like they fixed this in another security update Verizon pushed out recently. I am now on Build Number LMY47X.N910VVRU2BPA1. I'm glad they addressed this because it was really annoying.

hi
i have the same problem and i looked every web site and i got no thing
even i signed into the network still give me a notification saying i have to singe in , and it disconnect after some minute

GBWhatsapp being killed in background even with revelant settings off

The problem: GBWhatsapp, after the phone is locked for a while, gets its bg service killed, making it unable to receive messages (and Whatsapp Web from working) until I turn on the phone and launch it again.
I tried tweaking all revelant settings, as per this guide here from this post , even doing the hold-and-lock-app thing in the recent apps menu. Only thing I couldn't do, due to the setting not being there in MIUI 10, is turning off Memory Optimization.
After checking in the developer options ("Running services") it seems the process does in fact keep working, but the "MessageService" that usually runs is killed.
The problem is not with the GBWhatsapp mod itself, as in my previous Samsung phone it worked with 0 issues. Any idea on what to do? I'm tempted to just make an AutoMate flow that periodically launches GBWA.

The same heappend to me. You have to set energy optimization to no restriction and set the app to autostart.
I fell no downside on battery life.

Already done that, still not working, sadly. It was in the linked guide.
(Also not even starting the app when the phone is locked through automate seems to work dammit)

Well... Look into notification settings, permission... Give it all. Are you up to date on whatsappgb?
What rom are you using?

Rom is stock MIUI 10, and all notification settings are ok. Also gave it all permissions avaiable, and I downloaded GBWA from the website yesterday since this was a new phone.

same problem in realme phones..not getting online toast feature also..its workng old phones without any pblm..
