[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I feel for you. I just dropped my Epic in the pool. It sat at the bottom of the deep end for a couple minutes before I got it out, but my story has a happy ending because after a good 8 hours or so everything except the capacitive buttons started working. I'm hoping it hangs in there now until my update date.

[Epic 4G General] Wishkah420:
DO NOT GET THE INTERCEPT!

It's the worst phone I've ever owned!! I bet you can get a used epic for $100, or just buy a new screen and replace it yourself. If you go with the Intercept it'll be the most miserable 30 days of your life.

[HTC Sensation] tonynkh:
Hi guys

I've OTA upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 3.32.707.10

I noticed every time I reboot, a message appears "Android is upgrading... optimizing applications x of 94" after the HTC white screen. It takes abt a minute to get through.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Tony
[HTC Sensation] ThomasAndroid:
Yea it is normal.

Those applications are from HTC, mot from your downloaded applications.
[HTC Sensation] tonynkh:
Thanks. But how come I got 94 applications to be optimised, while others have less/more even we are both the sensation??
[HTC Sensation] ThomasAndroid:
Or maybe it is optimizing with your apps. I noticed that. Sorry..
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
I get that too every time I reboot, too time consuming.
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
if you guys are rooted then you could try running fix permission. came accross this one time when i installed LD Tweaks V3, after running the fix permission its gone.
[HTC Sensation] Exaita:
i waited for 20min ytd when i update my sensation. now its working like a charm ~
[HTC Sensation] exxpired:
I thought this happens when you clear dalvik cache?

In GB the dalvik cache rebuild happened behind the scenes now in ICS you see it...
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
Try rebooting the phone again and see. It happens every reboot for me.
[HTC Sensation] Exaita:
surprisingly for me it reboot in less then a min, i enable fast boot on. No problem on reboot for me.
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
Fast boot essentially makes a reboot pointless, IMHO. I've read on the Samsung Nexus forum that this is normal behavior for ICS.
[HTC Sensation] Exaita:
disabled fast boot and shut down, powered on in 1min48seconds with optimizing 40 updates
[HTC Sensation] slavislavi:
Very annoying. Optimizing on each phone boot. :( Test version was better than the release.

It's look like April fool !!!!
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
Yup, mine have this problem too. I asked HTC about this - they said that they don't know why there is this problem, and we need to send phone to service.
[HTC Sensation] ghislandi:
Hi

I get the same issue too...every reboot with fast boot off it optimizis and says android is updating
[HTC Sensation] bigmizz79:
I'm on a nexus and it is only supposed to optimize once and that's after the initial update.*
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Yep, that 'optimizing' should just be the building of the Dalvik Cache and after it shouldn't happen.
[HTC Sensation] nabeelrazanaqvi:
Dear Fellows i have found the solution.

Here how it will work

1-The android updating message will come every time because ICS contacts the developer site every time it reboots

2- go to setting > power and enable fast boot

there you go.

now your device will not reset sound setting on every reboot
[HTC Sensation] tofuSCHNITZEL:
I have the same issue. I rebooted my HTC Sensation 10 times with fast boot enabled and 10 times without and it is still "Optimising Applications x .. 92" on every reboot whether fast boot is enabled or not.

maybe I was too impatient when the phone was upgrading and the upgrade didn't go as planned. I have no idea.

Is there a way to get the OTA upgrade file and do the upgrade again?
[HTC Sensation] rio911:
Same thing here, I have rebooted it 3 times today and everytime I see the message "Android is upgrading..." Everytime 34 apps. It does not take that long but still...

And also I have never changed the "Fast boot" option, so I guess it is on.

rio
[HTC Sensation] nabeelrazanaqvi:
Dear there is nothing wrong with update. It is actually the android 4. Because many apps are still gb or honeycomb friendly so google has decided to contact the app developer site at every reboot and optimise it. It is normal. You may hay 92 old build apps. Like I have 102 apps installed but when I reboot it optimises only 12. Which means only 12 have old build. So try to update apps. And don't worry about boot optimization.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Lol at this post, never heard such utter nonsense in my life

The android is upgrading message is actually Google's way of telling you its building the dalvik cache but saying "building cache" doesn't sound cool so google decided to make it cool by claiming its "optimizing applications)

Proof of this = go into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and the "android is upgrading" message will appear on next boot because its re building the dalvik vm cache
[HTC Sensation] :
@rio @tofu, do you or have you ever used anything that would move dalvik cache, eg sd-ext or similar? It sounds like your device is unable to locate or recognise dalvik at reboot, so it rebuilds each time.

You could try wiping all partitions and SD, and reflashing your rom.

[HTC Sensation] tofuSCHNITZEL:
no it is the stock htc rom.

I wanted to clear the SD anyway because I wanted to enable the SD encryption. I will report back.
[HTC Sensation] ykkhern:
I notice that before and after upgrading to ICS, all my installed apps, settings and home screen remained the same, does it mean dalvik cache was not wiped during the upgrading? Is this the reason why ICS need to optimize dalvik cache on every boot? If so, I am wondering if a complete hard reset will solve this issue.....
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
If it's optimizing apps during boot then it sounds to me like it's simply dealing with the odexed apps on the system partition... That's the point of an odexed build is to pre-optimize apps at boot. I'm not sure why it would be showing such a notification during boot, but I assure you that the same process most likely occurred with GB unseen in the background.

Apps, settings, and home screen have nothing to do with dalvik-cache... Those items relate to your /data partition. You can clear dalvik-cache a million times and never loose apps or settings. ;)
[HTC Sensation] vwbest16:
I have exactly the same problem. After each reset does three minutes to open the phone by displaying the message "Android is Upgrading", "Optimizing application 1 of 125" and every time you install a new application this number grows.

I did hard reset and maybe fix the problem without success.

Does anyone know of this bug? problem is software htc or new version android?

Is frustrating to wait so long a time to open the phone:confused:
[HTC Sensation] cashys:
Same here. With galaxy note running 4.03

Optimising applications every time i reboot. 1 of 55

It is rebuilding the dalvik cache... Not sure why that would happen every reboot though :confused:

[HTC Sensation] vitor silva:
Same long boot ( about 2 min ) for apps updating

I found a solution:):):):):)

Settings » Power » Fast Boot ( Check )

Shut down

Hold Power button for 5 seconds

You have a boot on a few seconds
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Yes, but you never truly reboot. The device doesn't shut down, it just goes into a sleep state... Fast Boot is worthless.
[HTC Sensation] Doctorjuice:
Does anybody know???

I have the same problem..

So to sum up:

Some think i's building the dalvik cache

Some say it's not

Some say it's because apps doesn't support ICS and it will go away when all apps are ICS compatible

Some say...

Some say...

Does anybody know? Aren't there any übergeeks who can figure this out? Is it a bug? or something all Sensation XE ICS users have and are supposed to have?

I can start by confirming that you might get rid of it by activation fast boot but that's only (as others write) because the phone never completly shots down (roughly said) so this is not a fix but at most a way to make everyday less anoying ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Read my post 1 page back and I am 100% sure of my answer because it is in the logs that its building cache and dalvik cache
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No it doesn't because the message can appear even if no internet or mobile connectivity so sorry but that's just plain wrong
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You're wrong. Dalvik cache is also in data partition - /data/data/dalvik-cache is the address I think.

Odexed apps are apps that have a .odex file instead of a classes.dex file and they are interchangable, hence why you can both odex and deodex ROM's. Odexing apps makes mods to do with smali hacking impossible and can also stop apk files from being themed (to a certain extent)

Here is how dalvik chache works:

1a. If apk files are ODEXED the Android OS copies the .odex file to /data partition into its cache area. This is because usually the data partition can have better/faster read/write speeds than system partition (as I understand it)

1b. If apps are DEODEXED the Android OS opens up the apk file, extracts the classes.dex file from the apk and copies it over to dalvik cache area.

Building the dalvik cache has nothing to do with "optimizing" applications. It just copies the part of the app containing all the code to the data partition for quick execution
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Ok, you must know better than I do... :rolleyes:

When compiling a ROM the option for odex vs. deodex is preopt (pre optimization). I know exactly how the two work, but thanks for the lesson...

Oh, and just in case you need a refresher course: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
[HTC Sensation] silverblack:
Does it everytime with mine about 40 apps.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Re read my post then read the link, the link basically confirms what I said. And for people going on about odex being optimized and faster, the speed boost is negligable at most because the code is stored in dalvik cache so the same read/write/execute speeds apply to both odex and deodex, its just a different format.
[HTC Sensation] Doctorjuice:
Thanks for the clear answer ;) I will trust you on this then. So is it supposed to happen every time the phone boots?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I don't think so because dalvik cache builds on first run then only if some apps change their code or update, eg if you flash a new mod android will automatically detect the changes and add the changed apps code to the cache. This is what happens on deodexed builds anyway, I have never flashed an odex ROM so don't know if it does it on odex or not
[HTC Sensation] Doctorjuice:
Answer

Okay so I sent the question to HTC some time ago, and now I got the reply. It isn't in english so I'll try to translate:

They say that the reason for this is that there: "has been an error in the update" and the only way to fix it, is to make at factory reset (sigh).

So now we got both the brainy answer: It is building cache and dalvik cache. And the "noobie" answer: It is not supposed to happen and the only fix is a factory reset...

Thanks for your help I guess I'll make the Factory Reset when I get some time :-s
[HTC Sensation] qUBus:
does hard reset fix the problem?

can anybody confirm that a hard reset does actually fix the rebuilding of the cache at every boot?
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
i get the message although i made the hardreset
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
It doesn't fix anything. I have tried both stock ICS and several custom ICS ROMs and I haven't yet found any in which it doesn't happen.
[HTC Sensation] Mr-YC:
i tried stock and ARHD 6.6.3, it will pop out whenever u Reboot

LeeDroid tweak increased the number of optimize apps to 224, is this normal?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Try fix permissions
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
Try this, try that, try this, try that.

It doesn't help. Another type of fix is needed.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Doctorjuice:
So I finally made the factory reset and no it does not work :mad: and to top it off it won't read my backed up contacts file :mad: ("vCard could not be parsed because of an unexpected error (Reached end of buffer)")

I've sent a message to HTC and awaits their reply...
[HTC Sensation] Mr-YC:
it really works, no more "android is upgrading" message...:)
[HTC Sensation] abRoncs:
how exactly do you "fix permissions" ??
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
It is an option in recovery.
[HTC Sensation] ykkhern:
With an unrooted Sensation XE, I supposed I cannot fix permission as there's no such option in recovery, am I right?
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
Correct, you need a rooted phone with a custom recovery.

It may be a firmware issue cause it only tells me android is upgradig if I upgrade my Rom without full wipe...my phone reboots no problem

Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
All ROMs that I know of have a script that deletes the dalvik cache before flashing the ROM so of course it will say that because it needs to build the cache again after it has been wiped

Having the same issue on my Sensation since OTA update to ICS :(

I rooted my phone recently but still sitting on Stock ICS firmware.

Just tried to do "Fix permissions" from 4EXT and wipe cache+dalvik - still getting "Android is upgrading " on each reboot :( Any ideas how to get rid of this? Just wonder if flashing custom firmware will help to solve this?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
For some reason this happens more often on odexed systems. Try flashing a deodexed ROM
[HTC Sensation] Doctorjuice:
HTC's (poor) responce

I contacted HTC through mail. They wrote that the reason for it was "an error in the update" and after asking me to reset the phone without it going away, they told med to send it in, to get fixed. Before I took it back to the shop, I called HTC too get another opinion. After making sure that all settings under "developer settings" where dissabled, he too asked me to reset, and after that he also said that i needed to send it to the HTC shop so they could fix it.

So I returned my Sensation XE to the shop...

Now I just got it back whit a message saying (translated from danish): "We cannot fix this as it is a part of the Android 4.0 operation system and it is supposed to do this"

The clerk in the store said that his phone does it as well. I told him that everyone I know of does not have this, and no Samsung phones does this. He said that it is because Samsung covers it up with a logo. I said that it takes forever to start up the phone because of this (Samsung does not) and that I suspect it being the Dalvik Cache building, and that two HTC employes said that it is not supposed to do it (I even have it in writing). He could not reply to that.

So I wrote to the HTC employee who previously said that it was an error and asked her who was right. She said something like "If our repair shop says that there is nothing wrong they are right because I have not seen your phone"

2 months have passed since I first wrote HTC and NOTHING has changed. They apparently won't admit that it is a bug. So the only thing I know from all this is that my next phones will not be HTC's...

--

Off topic: I just recomended the Galaxy SIII to my mom (instead of the Desire S I originally recomended her before all this). She just bought it and if it is cool I will get that instead and see if Samsung has better customer care ;)

[HTC Sensation] darkriftx:
That's a load of misinformation. :confused:

If every Android phone had to contact a developer or whatever else you are suggesting, do you think the network would be a bit over- saturated at some point.:banghead:

The operating system is generating the Dalvik cache for each installed application and this happens once (unless you have some option to clear your Dalvik cache when you are shutting down your phone)

Also, you can see this every time you install a new kernel as well. Better yet, wipe your Dalvik cache in recovery and restart your phone.

Hopefully this clears that confusion up.
