[Q] HTC sense slow on Sensation XE ?

[Koenhen]

I've got a question where i can't find the answer to when i use the search-option on this site.
I have a HTC Sensation XE, all recent updates done.
When i'm browsing the web and i push the home button i allways get "loading" on my screen. (For about 10seconds). How come the phone seems to be slow when i do that? Is it a problem with HTC Sense? Will it run faster on Go Launcher or is there an other solution for my problem? I like the apperiance of HTC Sense so would prefer to keep using it . If anyone has a solution i'll be happy to read it.
Thanks in advance

Best solution would be to flash a custom ROM or root it at least and change a line in your build prop to prevent from doing what you describe.

I think that happens when Android automatically kills HTC Sense as it needs more memory.

Using Golauncher might solve it. Or you could set the built in task killer to be more aggressive.

Depends what ROM you are using, I think on Gingerbread you could use the Spare Parts app but not sure.

To do so i must "root" the phone right ? Thanks for your reply.

No, you don't need root for the spare parts app. There should be other apps on the Market that do similar things too if Spare Parts doesn't work.

Most of the time my phone is very fast indeed
It's just when something is loading in the browser or when you're playing a game (Angry birds in this case) and i push the "home" button, than i have to wait a few seconds until the home-screen is loaded. You can also see that the clock settings (24hrs) reload at that time. (clock is displayed first in AM-PM-mode)

Greetz and thanks

Spare Parts didn't solve my problem. The white screen with HTC logo appears sometimes followed bij "loading" on the home screen.... Of anyone had an idea to solve this.... I'll be welcome to hear...

There is actually a thread on this because I was able to explain to the person why your phone in fact does this..

A lot of the time you will unwittingly have a few browser windows open, each page you have open roughly uses about 10-40MB of RAM depending on the rendering, flash etc.

When you hit the 'Home' button, your phone doesn't actually close the web browser. It just puts it as a background application. The chances are that your phone doesn't actually have enough RAM to switch from the Browser to Sense and so it kills sense and reloads it.

Custom ROM's do not have this problem as they have RAM optimizations, however I'm sure if I opened 5 windows and opened YouTube in every window then hit the home button, that I'd have the same problem.

For now it seems fine. Removing lookout anti-virus made everything faster I tried to make it happen again but phone stayed smooth and fast. I hope it stays this way now.

It just happend again. To much apps open and it happens. I will try moving apps to internal memory as it would help Android closing them to free RAM....

With too many apps open it happens again. Must be a memory and closing sense-problem. Is there no possibility to select programs like Sense and 3g-watchdog to remain allways open? Movings apps back to internal memory seems not possible with the software I've got....

 

[jaaystott]

It doesn't matter where the apps are, it's just the stupid RAM.

I'm afraid do.... Would replacing Sense with another app solve this problem ?
