So I have had my phone for 4 days now and I absolutely love it!
Though I've started getting a bug that freezes my phone and its driving me crazy.
I have 5 homescreens set up all customized to how I want it. On screen 2 I have 4 widgets to quick access battery and usage stats, plus display and Bluetooth widgets.
Underneath I have the HTC Agenda widget, (Had this on my DHD) for some reason since yesterday it's not displaying the info straight away, but loads it up and the freezes the phone. I then get the blank screen and loading box and then back to main screen.
If I move to screen 2 again it does it again.
Weird! I've removed the widget re-added it and it stopped the issue until this morning....it's annoying me now!
I've tried force 2D rendering...still same problem.
Has anyone else got this bug?
If its a known issue then I can wait for HTC to fix it.

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.

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.
Uh oh. My replacement HOX (first one replaced due to WIFI fault) has started to flash when opening or refreshing apps.
So far I have only noticed it when doing the first refresh on the official Twitter app and on opening the xda app!
Is this a software/programming issue or is it another hardware fault?
What are other people's experiences?

I had a similar problem when using the camera app. I was walking down the street and pulled my phone out to snap a picture and as I was getting ready to take a picture I noticed the screen kept flickering. Only happened once thought

That sounds like the screen corruption issue. Was 99% fixed in 1.28 and completely gone in 1.29. What software are you on?
Running 1.29.206.11 and the updater doesn't say there are any updayes available. Since I first posted I have ve only noticed once. So maybe it is a random glitch that I lucky to have noticed
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
you screen is back to flash? I since I have it never happened
I've noticed this as well, in 1.29.401.11. Seems to just be displaying some uninitialized data for a frame until the texture/etc. is fully uploaded... has yet to cause any problems, but it seems to just be annoying?
Hi friends,
Happy to post my 1st thread in XDA
Last friday got my HTC one V (had to wait for 10 long days to get it from homeshop18 ) Played a lot with the new features and enjoyed it.
Phone runs stock ICS and not rooted.
There are 2 thnings I noticed.
1)I noticed that while coming back to home screen(either by pressing home button or by pressing back button) from one open application e.g. Calculator, it loads the home screen with some dalay(1-2 seconds).But if I come to home screen from list of applicaitons(not from any open application), it loads the home screen without any delay. I checked this behavior with galaxy s and sl where i din't notice any such delay.But one thing I noticed that when I press home button from any app say, calculator, it actually closes the application and loads the home screen but in galaxy s and sl, it loads the home screen without closing the appln.You can find it running in background in task manager.Is this the reason for the dalay in HTC one v?
2)When connecting the phone with HTC Sync Manager in my DELL Inspiron 1545, it says "Device Unavailable" , but it works fine in compaq laptops.I Googled it to know that it is a known issue but no resolutions found
I hope friends in XDA has some suggestions for the 2 probs.
sometimes it happens to me,first time it happened I did a factory reset so everything became good.2nd time it happened I removed all apps on homescreen,and changed settings in developer options to original..that's allll

Hi donhashem,
the reason for the lag was due to the fact that the OS closes/destroys all the activity as soon as the user leaves it. This setting can be on/off from Settings>developer options>Apps>Don't keep activities[On or Off].
Hope this will help you or any one tackling the problem by not doing a factory reset.
cheers!!
Yeah,thanks that's what I did the 2nd time it happened to me

Hi!
The upgrade to firmware 2.09.720.1 is available now in India.
Go to Settings->About->Software Updates.
Not sure if it will solve your problem, but makes the phone noticeably faster.

What Rom are you using? Most custom roms have that feature.

I've seen this a few times too - perhaps 3 or 4 times in the last month. Not sure what causes it but I think a particular app triggers it - perhaps HTC Watch? I also occasionally get a weird (possibly linked) bug where I can bypass the lock screen when the notification bar becomes visible on the lock screen.

I don't think the mods will work on stock odexed rom. May be you are lucky to have the feature on stock unrooted phone.
Thankyou very much for works
