Intermittent problem with DHD

Hey guys sometimes when leaving some apps ie. messages, or phonebook the white screen with htc will flash up and then a loading sign for a second or two its quite annoying does anyone else have this problem?

Yep, I get that from time to time too... it's as though Sense crashes and restarts automatically...

Anyone else having this issue?

Same on htc z and sometimes on good ol' hero. The "homescreen" crashes id say.

Yes very occasionally

I guess this is better than the entire device locking up, necessitating a battery pull... which I've so far not had to do in the month I've had the phone. Could argue it's good coding by htc. And hopefully future updates will minimise this issue further...?

yeah its just the sense launcher crashing used to happen rarely on my legend to, but its easy fixed you just change to another launcher

since a couple days, same happens to me...but i dont know why. its not with a special app when i close it, its just randomly when i go back to the homescreen, but i will definately change to netfront life screen, as soon it becomes more customizable...i like the idea

not had this at all, although i did have 2 complete restarts a week ago.

i have a off-topic question. i am playing with adw.launcher and launcher pro, but how can i use the htc widgets...especially the "setting" widgets maybe the clock widgets too...any ideas?

r u guys using any automatic task killer? I am using a HD2 with DHD build but not facing this problem after i uninstall any task killer app

You can't when you use another launcher you lose all the htc widgets if I was u I would use the skins in the app section they are superb and for some strange reason my phone its quicker now but they do look better also

wich skins you talking about, htc sense skins?
btw is there a good app, which i can use to map all the "settings" functions, like airplane mode, ringtone, mobile connection on off, wifi, bt, phone profile... i found widgets but alwasy for one function, is there not a widget where in can configure all that...so idont have to download 100s of widgets

Sure, just try Quick Settings and Quick Battery (Android Market). Highly recommended.

Problems with every rom

I've tried many different roms such as jvo, jvh, jvp and jvq. I've tried darkys, juwes, gingerreal , f1, insanity and miui but they all have these problems after the phone has been 'up' for over a day. When I exit a game using home or back my launcher restarts.

The same game and the same launcher always : maybe are not compatible.

You are using tw launcher ? If not, you should check your task killer program. Maybe you got the option "stAy in ram". If yes, choose it

I havent tried the stuff in this thread but it is interesting, and on the second page, there is a posted .apk that apparently solves it..
Like saphirrot said, if the launcher has a 'stay in mem' option, check it. I've done that with Launcher Pro and the launcher restart happens far far less.

It's just android freeing up ram for the game. It's a pain in the ass but better than not being able to run a game because of low memory.

I use super manager or astro manager. They have app managers and allow you to install .apk files. Super manager is great if you have root access as you can uninstall bloatware apps like aldiko, layar etc. Make sure to backup app just in case anything goes wrong.

I use AppInstaller. Very simple.

Thanks guys I installed the apk and my launcher no longer restarts but apps still close even when I go off them using the home button so I can return to them in a minute and be where I left it. Is there any apk for this as it is frustrating when you go off an app for a minute only to find it's closed when u go back on it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Actually the apk hasn't worked. Launcher is still rebooting when I go back to the home screen.

Nothing is wrong. It's running out of memory. Android shall release background tasks if foreground tasks need the memory. Since Gingerbread, you can no longer force most things to stay in memory so those features are mostly useless these days. Should have kept to one ROM and asked your question in its thread. Too many things to suggest to tune it properly really. Uninstalling system apps you don't use and trying different kernels are your last options.

This is completely unacceptable then, you can't even multitask. And after the phone has been 'up' for over 12 hours you can't even keep the dialer in memory! There must be a way around this. A smartphone should not take over 3 seconds to open the dialer.

I have never seen this problem before, and since it so several I have to assume that if other people had it, they would have posted about it.
That means that it is either due to a problem with your hardware, or due to something you are installing/configuring. I would do a full factory default then add apps back very slowly, one by one, doing some basic testing in between. That way you may be able to isolate the problem.
If it still happens right after the factory reset, take the phone to a service center.

I have seen people talk about it but the answers are since gingerbread apps get closed because of memory meaning that the dialer doesn't even stay in memory after the phone has been booted.for a while.

I don't think that's his problem. If I am not mistaken, the widget is not refreshing and is constantly showing him 0mA. My friend had this problem in his Sensation when I asked him to check his battery drain so I could compare mine to a native Android phone. @ The OP, have you tried manually refreshing the widget (if this is your problem) by the update now button?
EDIT: Oh, OK, so it was his problem My bad.

Man I feel like an a$$ I didn't know they had added that option and since I was using the clear widget it didn't have the arrows so I never saw them. And for some reason after a restart the setcpu is working again. Thank you all for the help I will now go face palm myself!

Camera settings forgets shortcuts!

Whenever I add icons to the left hand bar in the camera (standard are 2 but you can add 2 more.
Inevitably whenever the camera app closes down, it forgets the 2 shortcuts I added. I am on firmware xxki4.
Am I alone?
Any remedy>

Didn't know u can add 2 more shortcuts, thanks for this.
I added 2 shortcuts and close the camera, opened again, still there, closed again, closed camera app from task (ES task manager) opened again, still there...
(rom: flashed XWKI8)

I tried clearing data for camera and then they seemed to stick when adding them. But lost em again after a hard reset.

I am having the exact same problem on ki4
Posted from Galaxy S II

thinking oif going to another firmware or rom, but if i do will i lose all my data or will it flash over it.

seems to be fine on my ki4
added the shortcuts, closed app, re opened and still there, the same when i cleared the ram and when i rebooted the phone.

weird mine stays if i just close the app but i i use built in task manager to close it they are gone next time i open the camera app

I'm having the exact same problem! So annoying!
