Sense Keeps Restarting - EVO 4G General

im using fresh 0.2. and sometimes it happens maybe every 2 hours when i unlock the phone htc sense shows its starting up again like if it was ended. i always have it open and im not really sure what might be ending it.. any help would be appreciated

The Task Killer is doing it. Stop auto Kill

I've read a few posts stating that the task killer apps are causing the sense crash. I have removed mine two days ago...since then my phone still reboots when ever it pleases. while on a call, while im sleeping, in my pocket. just seems to do it when ever it feels the need to make me regret my purchase.

if your not on the stock rom then don't blame the device.
also, the app 'spare parts' can cause sense to constantly reboot if you have selected:
activity/process management > aggressive

thanks this solved it for me. It was the spare parts messing with it. The custom rom (Inspire 4g- CoreDroid hd v4.9) came preloaded with parts on there. i personally never had a need for parts.

Issues with HTC Sense rebooting intermittently ?

Does anyone else have an issue with HTC sense rebooting every so often ? Mine does approximately 1/2 times a day.
It's pretty random.
Are there logs anywhere that I can check to see what may be causing it ?
Are you getting a force close and then reboot, or is sense ui just flat out going back to the HTC screen and then reloading itself? If it's the first then you have some type of file corruption going on.
If it's the second it's possible that you have so many things running and loaded that Android is killing off sense in order to make room for other things. This was a real common issue when touchflo (basically senseui for winmo) got ported to older winmo phones.
Or the other possibility is you are running some type of task killer that is killing off required sense services and it's forcing it to reload.
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
do you have any taskkiller or auto kill enabled? i had problems when i did
I have to hold my hands up and say I'm using Advanced Task Killer. I guess I'm under the misguided illusion that the snappiness comes from using that.
I'm guessing it's killing some service that HTC Sense relies on, so I'll try and turn it off for a while and see what happens.

on my taskiller i wasnt even killing sense, i was killing mail (then sense reboots)
I've been getting random phone restarts too in the last week. I do have Advanced Task Manager and TasKiller, but I never had this problem until recently. I usually only kill stuff I would have manually opened. I think I hear an alert on my phone and it's just restarting.
I usually get this when I stop peep.
Swype?
Seems like it might be swype. Anyone?
another one here that has the same problem since the beginning. The problem basically is that HOS only has about 200 MB of free RAM after booting, and this is too few. Then, when you open some big apps or games, the system closes sense to make space for tha app, then when you return to the home screen, sense reloads itself..... It is normal, it is not a malfunction, but I guess they should solve it, it is quite anoying to be waiting several seconds for the sense to reload until you can go on using the phone, at least it is anoying in this so high class phone....
I think there is some tweak or mod over there that modifies the behavior of android so it won´t close sense and it won´t reload anymore, but you have to be root to do it.
Best regards.

Massive Problems with battery

Hey guys,
at the moment I have a massive problem with my HTC HD2. Several month ago I flashed it with 6.5.3 and installed some little things, mostly for the design. Everything worked fine for 3 month, but now since this week, my HD2 is loosing battery extremly fast. If I charge it full, it is completly off after 20 hours WITHOUT using it. So I know the HD2 needs lots of battery, but if you don't use it very often, I could use it at least for several days and now, thats not possible anymore. I don't know why, I haven't changed anything. Also I think it got slower, so I checked for running applications with the task manager, but there is nothing????
So I'm kind of helpless right now, also I'm scared that I lost my gurantee with the update on 6.5.3.....
Do you guys have any ideas?
I'd try the easiest first and work your way down to the more complex things:
1) Re-calibrate the battery (sounds like you might have done this by completey running it down and then fully charging it.)
2) Remove the microsd card and see if you still get extreme battery drain to see if the problem is being caused by that.
3) Check that the wifi is idling when in standby and not staying connected.
4) Hard reset the phone.
Let me know if any of these shows a result.
I will do that, btw. I forgot one more problem. I have it often that I can't unlook the phone. so when its looked, the screen is black, normaly one push of any button is getting me back to the keylook screen where I can slide the button, but since I have the battery problem, I also have the problem that the screen stays black and only the hard buttons at the bottom are lighted, but the screen stays black. When I wait for some more time, than I can use it again, but for like 20 seconds its not usable.......it seems that something is using all the processor power.....DAMN this problem really freaks me out.
I know you said you checked for running apps with task manager, but if you meant the one that comes on the phone then I'd strongly recommend getting dotfred task manager (google finds it no problem). It's a much better task manager and gives you control over processes, rather than just listing them.
Edit:
Since it's so easy to google for it, I did it for you I'd only got as far as "dotfr" and google suggested it!
http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Ok I have installed it, if I check the cpu usage the process filesys.exe is using around 95%??? If I kill the process the phone freezes....also how can I identify process which are not working probably?
Ok, its definitiv the filesys.exe process which is killing my phone......everytime the phone is extremly slow, the filesys.exe process is using 95-100% of the cpu. I don't know why and when this process is running, sometimes it does, sometimes not.....how can I stop this process from killing my phone?
I already have removed the microsd card and the wifi is also not odeling.

corrupt data when battery is empty?

hello guys,
in several threads i found people with same issue, but there hasn't been started a discussion about it:
it happend now 3 times that my hd2 went out of battery during night. no problem i thought, but after plugging in and start the phone android gave me errors like force closing swype, sense and other apps... since the errors seem to be all about apps which ran before the phone shut down, i guess android killed the applications and make them unusable.
do you ever had this issue? it's really bad to know that you are screwed if you don't have a charger nearby when battery is running out and you have to do a fresh install of android! maybe someone has a solution for these forced closing errors - this will help a bit until android is able to shut down controlled without destroying running tasks... if there are threads around here which i haven't found with same topic, i'm sorry!!!
my specs are: goatrip android 1.0 rom, mattc 1.6b with sense (rmnet image)
p.s: hopefully you can follow my words (from germany)
Get hold of titanium backup, do scheduled full backup, and if u get force close issues do a full system data restore, trying to find an app though that will force a clean shutdown when battery gets to 10/8% though, as that would be the safest option until nand
sent from my HD2 running Android using the xda-developers app.
it did happen to me twice and to friend of mine once within a week...the problem is that even i have Titanium Backup in this case is useless as it is constantly force closed by android. almost all games disappeared from the phone as well as few other apps. basically android becoming unusable. the only thing different from your situation is that my battery did not go flat...it happened when battery level was around 50-60%. I do not know what my cause it and would be grateful for any tips how avoid those situation in future.

GT-i9000m has been locking up recently to the point of removing the battery.

It went from extremely rarely doing it to three or four times just the other night in the span of a few hours. I can't reproduce it on command but it happens when I lock the screen and put it in my pocket. Then sometimes when I take it out it is entirely non-responsive, even the power button doesn't work. I have to remove and reinsert the battery.
It could be ADW Launcher or WidgetLocker since those are the only two programs always running, but I was hoping someone else experiences a similar issue. It hasn't happened when I normally lock it yet though, so it could also be the proximity sensor maybe?
Having the same issue (on Bell as well), but not running either of those two apps. Was almost to the point of returning the phone and then installed JM7 and it's been better, although not perfect. Last night it locked up with NoLED displaying an icon, so I've deleted that app to see if that's the issue. It hasn't locked up today, but it did reboot a few hours ago seemingly at random. :shrug:
Your internal sd card might be failing like all the other i9000m phones I see on this forum bricking themselves .

Oh, that doesn't sound pleasant at all...
I'm outside of Bell's 30 day exchange period plus I've talked for over 30 minutes, so I'll have to go through Samsung if it completely breaks. On the plus side, a phone from them should be three button recoverable.
Although I can't be without a phone for weeks, I hope it's not the SD card.
Mine Lags like crazy once every few days till the point I need to restart it. Any idea why this is do?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hold your horses people....
before you jump about the lag, and or one click lag fix and such
first you have to investigate what is running on your phone.
just over the weekend (since XDA was down) i stalled over 400 Apps
my phone slowed down to snail speed, then i ran my Startup Manager software (many to choose from)
I suggest Startup Cleaner 2.0 then uncheck everything, leave only the apps that you want to run during start up
reboot your phone and presto, fast as new!
if you can find version 2.1 of startup manager that one is even better
keep note, start up manager apps are not the same as task killer apps
it only run once during start up, and it helps you easily select what should and should not run during start up, so it doesn't stay in memory after it runs
on the same topic
you should also configure your Task Killer apps to kill everything, and add only the wants you want to be running to the ignore list.
that will keep the phone working smoothly even without the "one click lag fix"
i'm still running stock on my JH2 i9000m

All gamer has a good sugestion here BUT we are going to get people flaming the fact that Android shouldnt need task managers.....
Ho hum..
TBH in my experience, I have found (after a couple of hard resets) that there appears to be a size limit for installed apps. Once I get over this size limit, I get LAGTASTIC, phone slows to a snails pace, then I remove a few of the apps and I am back at light speed again....
I cant say what the limit is, but I know when I have hit it - I would then uninstall a lame app or two and get back running.
Yes a lot of people "claims" that, but yet you do a search in Android Market, you see LOTS of Task Manager / Killer apps for every phone.
they were not designed for Galaxy S, they were designed long ago for all the other phones that had and still have the same problems of memory management causing lags
Android is not robust enough to survive without one
heck not even Windows 7 or Windows Mobiles phone
I just read that possibly the phone freezes while trying to find a signal. As this problem has only recently started, and I just recently moved into university, and many buildings receive little to no wireless signal, I think it's more than a coincidence. I'll try going to plane mode before entering lecture halls and basements.

i don't think that is the case with the Galaxy S
however back then my Treo 650 did suffer from that.
if you believe that is the problem then try this

Is your DESIRE HD as slow as mine??

Hi guys,
Just got a Desire HD for my dad and boy am I embarrassed! It is painfully slow and it just shows everywhere! Screen swipes are delayed by 0.5 sec to 1 sec, opening apps are slow, scrolling through long lists is laggy oh my goodness I don't even know where to stop! Just really really awful!
I have a Desire that's why I know how it's supposed to function. Is it just my desire?? It's still unrooted and running stock rom, I am thinking of rooting it and all but I am hesitant because this is my dad's unit and he might have issues later on.
software running:
1.32.707.5
I tried the software update and it says I am up to date! Is there anyway to force the update to 1.7?
THANKS GUYS

The update has been pulled because of inconsistent performance. We should be getting another one soon enough.
Try switching on USB Debugging. Go to settings> applications> Development.
You may also want to disable Fast Boot. Go to settings> Applications.
Just so you know, the DHD is, typically, very fast.
I was playing around with it and turned on usb debugging and I don't know if it's because of that but it has become noticeable faster. Another factor may be because my dad still doesn't use the phone everyday and only for browsing without a sim. Phone seems normal after about 30 mins of playing around as compared to my previous experience. (Screen rotation before I played around was 1 - 2 seconds behind desire, now it's on par if not slower by a little)
Did some research and apparently I am not the only one with the same experience:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-846228.html
I think the usb debugging did the trick, interesting why this happened though..
I turned on usb debugging when I was gonna root and everything just sped up lol
Someone should put the thread above as a sticky.
i have the phone and i have no lag whatsoever! fastboot off,usb debugging on,20% brightness,updatess off(I CHECK MANUALLY ONCE A WEEK ABOUT)
I HAVE REVOLUTION SKIN(THE GREEN THING)
task killer i always kill all task before playing games or going to web
i hear that kiling all task before shutting down ,makes afterward the phone to bootup FASTER!

Why kill them?
The kernel will reallocate memory to the active app if it needs to anyway.
dont kill tasks, it does nothing of any use.

I disagree! The only way I can get lag-free experience is killing the unwanted tasks using up cpu cycles. Some apps just want to run and run regardless of whether you ever use them. And I'm not talking about programs sitting harmlessly idle in memory but about things like htc stocks, facebook, maps that get my cpu up to 30% though I never use any of those apps. Killing them gives me an hour or two of reasonable performance before they start themselves up again.
