Sounds like some buggy program is keeping a wake_lock longer than it should. (The way games and ebook readers keep the screen lit/phone awake).

Had you installed anything new before this started?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rayad:
Hey guys,

So basically I do have a hell of a lot of apps and stuff install, and I was wondering, what's a decent about of time for HTC Sense to finish loading?

It take probably 3 mins from when I press the power button to when I can start moving around on the phone.

Is there a way to maybe decrease the time spent on the splash screen (not the animated one, I have a a cool gif and sound for that, but for the screen that follows)

I don't particularly mind that much coz at the end of the day its just 3/4 mins and then I'm on my way but I've been in such a tweaking mood the past few weeks with my HD2 I just keep wanting to make it perfect!

I noticed when I upgraded from Energy's 9th may to 13th may with the same maybe a few more mods installed, the duration of the "launching HTC Sense" has gone down by a minute or so.

Oh and also, I have extensvely checked the forums around for this but it seems all there is, is changing the ink shortcuts but that's not what I want. When I press the end end, it coz up with the quicklist, then I have to click turn off and then the slidetoshutdown comes up. I want to go straight to the sidetoshutdown screen and skip the quick list. I've tried changing the end key in settings>personal>buttons but still nothing :(

EDIT 19/5/10:

Seems to have found a fix, deleted all my emails and sense now loads in 20 seconds or so. My emails and messages are stored on my SD card via relocation in Pocket Mechanic, maybe keeping them on the device resolves the issue, haven't tested.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rayad:
Bump please
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nobnut:
Sometimes it jungs hangs. Touch the screen if it gets stuck and it should come back just fine.

There's no need to wait until it remembers where it's supposed to be.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rayad:
It doesn't hang randomly at all, it's just takes a longish time to load when i start up my phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bramgg:
Maybe have a look in \Windows\Startup\ Maybe with so many installed apps and games this folder is full of shortcuts to let the apps start on startup for quicker access. Cleaning some out of heren maybe makes the phone faster. good luck!;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Fair enough, you don't mind the wait, and I understand (it's not as if you restart your phone every 10 minutes!)

But, there's definitely something doing something. I've got plenty of software on mine, and from power off and pressing the power button, right up to a completely loaded and stutter-free Sense, it takes just over a minute (I just timed it at 1:02).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] FiyaFleye:
For the end key leading to the slide to shutdown automatically, search the energy thread, I honestly can't remember exactly where it was, but a member posted a fix for it...the same guy that posted the Home button fix, the music player, etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] remiotte:
Same here.

It's Sense that takes a huge time to completely load. Appears quickly, but veeeery slow and laggy for one or two minutes. Same when i only relaunch Sense, not only after a reboot.

Don't have much in the startup folder, a lot of tabs deactivated (music, docs, footprints, ebboks, twitter, facebook etc), but still...

And even after a fresh flash - with different roms from different cooks.

It does that too when i unplug the phone from a usb connection with my computer - but not if it was connected in activesync mode.

--edit--

just thought of something while typing this. i tried with no sc-card in: way way much faster.

so basically, Sense is scanning my whole 16gb card when it starts?...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rayad:
Wow I actually cracked it,

I spent like a good hour or so experimenting around with everything possible from apps, to addons to random registry fixes I made. NONE of them did anything.

My sense now loads in 20 seconds flat.

How?

I deleted all my emails... lol

I think it is an SC card issue, because basically I have all me emails and messages stored onto my SD card (made the relocation via pocket mechanic)

Everytime I reflashed new roms, I install me apps games and whatever first, restart and its fine. I import my PIM backup stuff last and then it goes slow, I never really picked up on it because I'm usually finding other random cabs I forgot to install and add them at the same time, leading me to think its those that slow it down. But no, its all the emails, which I suppose makes sense seeing I have a couple of thousand stored.

Hopefully this will work for you guys, move/delete you emails from your SD card! Or it could well be an SD card issue in general.

HEy i tried to use a rom created by unforseenenemy and when i loaded the rom into my device , it says : This Concludes the beta test of this software release . Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers. To obtain a newer release or further information, please revisit the web site that you use to obtain your current beta release.

Any help to remove this msg... ? there is like no dismiss or cancel button i tried restarting pulling of the battery..... but to no avail help me please !!!!! :mad:
[neoTouch S200 General] riotman:
Hi crazemaster,

unfortunately rav's and unforseemenemy's ROMs accidentally have a OS timebomb, which means,if u pass a certain date, you won't be able to use this ROM anymore

Im afraid, You'll have reflash your device with a ROM that doenst include the Timebomb anymore.

Netnerd, Arto, and brainmaster's ROMs are very good, give those Cookers a try.
[neoTouch S200 General] crazemaster123:
i see .... a timebomb that sounds stupid anyway thank you for the information ..... ah looks like i gotta remake everything .....
[General Questions and Answers] mohit.joshi:
I have done a HSPL on my elfin.

IN the bootloader also it shows spl:3.10.cmon

So does this say that i can flash any ROM into it or do i need to check whether CID is unlocked ??
[XPERIA X10 General] bibi027:
hi all,

i can"t connect to my apple box in wpa2 :confused: but i can in my other box in wep is it a problem due to firmware 1.6 and it'll be resolved with 2.1 ?

before getting x10 i was having htc hero and there was no pb with wpa-2 maybe because it was rooted in 2.1 ?

anybody knows how to resolve it ?

thx
[XPERIA X10 General] flex00:
Think it has to do with your apple box,

got a linksys wrt54gl with WPA2 and it works like a charm.
[XPERIA X10 General] bibi027:
you konw how i can fix it because i see the network in the list but when i clic connect it's trying and then wifi reboot

i think i had the same think with my htc hero when it was on 1.6 too :(
[XPERIA X10 General] flex00:
Did you try to manually input the data from your wifi network. setting > wireless controls > Wi-fi settings > add Wi-fi network
[XPERIA X10 General] bibi027:
i can but i dont know what is the ssid of the network

where can i found it ?
[XPERIA X10 General] bibi027:
simply his name ?

there is a "é" in this name entered under mac osx so in my pc windows it apears as "Aa" and in my x10 as "__" so what do i have to type on x10 as ssid ? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] bibi027:
ok i just renamed the network and change ssid to not have anything like é or è etc that is not compatible with x10 :)

works like a charm too now :D

thx all
[XPERIA X10 General] Cnrl:
I wont make friend saying so but network product made by apple are bad,my gf have a macbook air and on her network speed was soso,as soon i installed her a dlink dir 655 the difference in speed was incredible.At my place same,my linksys give wings to the laptop.

You know.. Symbian became OpenSource...

Is that any way to do that? Anybody know?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] ASPHALT5:
i am sure that no boby can do that

because nokia N8 doesn't use intel chipset
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] brewhoxs:
This is impossible and just bull****! :mad: Admin, please delete this post and make it keep clean for all of us! If some Windows Mobile OS devices enable to install Android OS, it doesn't mean enable to install other OS too like Symbian OS cause there are much different on system between software and hardware!

You dig what i'm sayin'?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] BesFen:
Why do you want have Symbian in PDA?

Just buy a NOKIEM/NOKIA Device.:p:p:p

[HD2 General] c0rp1:
Hi there ... for a while now I`m using Duttys ROMs, but I have a problem with the sensor that turns off the screen during call ... sometimes it doesn`t work properly and I keep pressing screen buttons with my cheek. I remember having an incall slide curtain on 1.43 original ROM that helped for this bug, but it`s never included in any latest ROM ....

So I`m asking for the folowing : is there a way to install just the curtain cover, or change the registry somehow in order to bring back the curtain, or it must be implemented in the ROM itself ?

Here`s a screenshot of what I mean ....

P.S. Thanks to anybody that can help me !!!
[HD2 General] wergor:
i have the same problem and it's driving me nuts :mad:. also, the "tap with two fingers to shut off the screen" trick does not work with my device. windows button --> lock helps but is not reliable. maybe someone can make a custom made lock screen?
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
i'm looking for that too... it would be easier to have the proximity sensor issue fixed thand that (battery wise)...
[HD2 General] c0rp1:
Anybody :confused:
[HD2 General] ephestione:
making the curtain show or not is an option that you can set, and heck knows if I can remember where!

I actually want to have all those buttons always accessible (that is, I disabled the curtain) because I've never had problems with proximity on my ear and accessing all the options immediately is easier, but I uderstand it's not the same with everyone.
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
i can't find it in settings
[HD2 General] c0rp1:
It depends on the Rom you`re using ... when there is a ROM with curtain Enabled by default , there are programs like BSB Tweaks that can remove the curtain ... but where the curtain is not presented at all, there is no way to enable it .... that`s what I`m asking ... isnt there a way to just flash the phone canvas, or a .cab or something to bring back the curtain on cooked ROMs ?
[HD2 General] ephestione:
ouch right... that was the one, I used bsbtweaks to disable the curtain :rolleyes: Sorry I couldn't be of any help
[HD2 General] j4n87:
the s2u2 lockscreen has got the ability to lock ure phone when the connection is established.
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
but what about the secconds it takes until it connects?
[HD2 General] elkalpine:
how reinstalling incall cover slide ?

I'm french and i'm sorry for my awful english...

i've a great netdrg rom (2.5j FRE) on my HD2 but neither bsb tweaks, hd tweak, nor S2U2

however i don't have this so usefull incall cover slide. I searched everywhere to get a cab or files needed to get back it...

if you have any solution, you'll have all my thanks and respect !!!

I already enjoy your next answers !

thanks to all :):)
[Desire General] logoo:
It s been very difficult for me to add the album arts to the HTC music player..

But it's done :o

I write this post if someone else is concerned by this issue, juste do this:

- I found that it's hard for the player to read the "Albumart.jpg" file in the directory so you will have to add the picture in the tags of the mp3 (media monkey is very good for that)

- The most important: Even with the previous step the pictures didn't appear.. I found the solution by chance..

If you want your pictures to appear you have to rename in the directory Music>Artist>Album the album names with a name different from the name of the album in your mp3 tags.

I really can't understand that but anyway it works! :)
[Desire General] 84guy:
OMG Thank You!! :D works on HTC Evo
[Desire General] GrenW:
I use MediaMonkey too and have the album art embedded in the tag rather than as a separate file. I just copied everything over manually using explorer and all the art work showed up immediately - maybe I just got lucky....
[Desire General] tifosi256:
Just tried this with some albums where the art wouldn't show up and sure enough, it works. Why on earth does it rely on the directory name to match the tag? Madness :mad:
[Desire General] ferus:
I have all my artworks embedded directly in mp3 files and all of them are i one big directory called Music.

I'm not sure how can I achieve correct (or any) artwork to be shown....
[Desire General] kermit3:
the htc player won't recognize any changes unless you rename the folder as you have already found. An easier solution is to go into settings - manage applications - media storage - clear data. This will wipe the media database. Reboot your phone. Open music app - be patient while the database is rebuilt.
[Desire General] millinnium:
The only reason why i am using the HTC Music App is because of its integration with the lock screen.. that feature has got me by the balls, because everything else of the app suck!

No good way to search by folder, bad album art management!

Horrible in my opinion: if you bunch up all your music together in a single directory it work pick up correct album art, u can't put it in any directory it must be in sdcard\media directory, you must sort by album name .. .too many limitations! not everyone sorts their music colection by album names and create album names for every song! Jeez! Fix it HTC!
[Desire General] EUFolk:
Album Art display workaround

For me non of the solutions worked on HTC Inspire - very frustrating in addition to other crap constantly starting like Facebook - which I hate etc.

But I connected the phone to PC and browsed on the SDCard for Android/data/com.android.providers.media and I deleted the whole folder. After that all album arts are visible again in both players HTC and winamp. Now I have to find the solution for the disappearing playlists

es gibt nicht viele die das jetzt so umsonst machen würden... und das auch nicht von heute auf morgen.

Hey,

I have a strange problem with Sense.

I have the Energy ROM.

If I leave the Sense lockscreen activated for too long i can't switch the screen back on.

How can I disable the Sense lockscreen?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] 9761217:
I flashed ENERGY ROM also,;)

If you flashed the MAXmanila version,then slide down your home screen of sense,you can see a setting interface, turn "autolock" into "off"
[Hero CDMA General] brokentoaster24:
if the huge delay of getting 2.1 (or any update for that matter) is a sign of HTC and/or Sprint's dedication to this phone, what do you guys think is the possibility of ever getting an official 2.2 release?
[Hero CDMA General] thatguythatdid:
Well in my own opinion about this situation is that this should be in the general section:p
[Hero CDMA General] PlagaDeRock:
If this thread were a poll I'd probably vote that it should be in the general section also.
[Hero CDMA General] Maikock:
aside from general section, all i have to say about this is. im not getting another unpopular phone lol thats for sure... hopefully evo is not gonna be like this one
[Hero CDMA General] thatguythatdid:
with only two choices for sprint this was the best one don't like samsung and I definitly don't like the moment it's the size of a brick
[Hero CDMA General] robchaos:
Despite its hardware, I think this has been one of the best android phones out there. We have the largest dev community of any of the phones! We had most of the functions that 2.1 offers long before any other phones had 2.0.

I think that whether its through Sprint, or through the development community, we will have a 2.2 release for our phone sooner or later.

and yes, general section would have been the place for this.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I don't think Sprint will give us a FroYo release. Remember how they skipped over 1.6 and 2.0 entirely? I think that's whats going to happen here.
[Hero CDMA General] energizer1389:
I think the hero is dead in sprint after july 4.They will want everyone to upgrade to evo. They want those extra $10 a month from us.
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
I doubt that by the time FROYO is released that the Hero will have the harware requirements to run it.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
the hero is not dead and sprint will still carry it for sometime to come. the damn phone isn't even near a year old yet.
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
If its sloppy and choppy...what the point?? I'd rather have smooth 2.1 than slow and choppy 2.2...but thats just me................
[Hero CDMA General] pgreptom:
I read that 2.2 ran 300% or 400% ( don't quote me ) faster on the N1. I'd think the hardware requirements for 2.2 may be a little lower than most think.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Its supposed to be 450% faster, with full functioning... i forgot the name. Some new Dalvik system thats a lot more efficient.

[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
2.2 i really doubt will be choppy. I bet it will bring a huge increase in performance. It has a JIT enabled dalvik, all built into the whole thing. Im sure our phones will run 2.2 and everything we have from 2.1 and 1.5 like app related extremely fast.

What I dont think will ever run right is full flash 10 and maybe some of the newer apps that 2.2 will bring to the table.

But for what we do with our phones now, I think 2.2 will bring a huge speed increase to.
[Hero CDMA General] makerber:
Nothing comes for free. JIT requires additional memory and the bytecode needs to be compiled before running natively. Depending on how they implemented it, it comes to different tradeoffs. Running a syntehtic benchmark is a bad example on the performance boost you can expect with JIT.

BTW, Google did at first leave out any JIT technology in the Dalvik on purpose, to allow the VM to scale to smaller devices as well.
[Hero CDMA General] ElAguila:
It took quite a while for sprint to even get the 2.1 update ready. I honestly think that after the evo is released they are going to focus on it. I think it will get the update but not the hero. There are some of the custom 2.1 roms that are running JIT right now and they seem to run it fine. Although they don't have the 300% performance increase. I think the only way the hero will see it will be if a developer can port it.
[Hero CDMA General] richse:
We already have a makeshift JIT running on our Heros so I don't see why you would expect the google JIT to not work. If anything I would think they could make an even better implementation of it.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
I agree, even if it does take up a lot more room then use apps2sd and move cache to your sdcard.

[Hero CDMA General] toastcfh:
I think the hero may get another 6-8 months before they EOL it. Of course the evo is where they are gonna throw their attention. That and the new devices coming at the end of the 3rd quarter. It's just the name of the game. Also some new devices have been spotted already, like the moment 2. But as for the hero getting 2.2 from us the devs, I'm sure it will happen. This is aosp were talking about and 2.2 is just another platform. Our hardware is dated though, there is no denying that. They don't even make msm7k devices anymore. They have moved to the new ARCH. But aosp will still carry support for devices like ours for a while. In the end it'll always be how its always been. That's us getting what we put in out of it. Meaning as long as this device has good devs developing for it. It will get at least a few more OS upgrades. I'm getting an evo but will continue my work for the heroc as well. For me this device has challenged me from day one and was the underdog for a long time. But in the end together we surpassed a lot of the other devices because of mine and others pure determination. This device has fueled my adiction and pissed offmy wife more then any other device ive ever owned. for that ill stick aroubnd toill the thing burns up. :p
[Hero CDMA General] makerber:
JIT is already on in the AOSP code base since end of 2009 and that is what you are using (it's not a hidden feature, you just need to compile the dalvik with the according flags). And IMO the AOSP source is some time behind the internal releases (at least in terms of JIT).

The question is not if it runs (yes, it runs - no doubt), but how well it will run. The JIT dalvik adds memory footprint and there will be some add on memory requirements as well as startup compilation/code analysis on top.

:I changed the initial post:

because vodafone's 3G network was down i used WIFI for the first time ever. Weirdly this resulted in the following:

The htc default browser and apps that use the browser stopped working completly. Just says it cant make a connection. All other apps on the phone that use 3G work fine though including opera mini.

Things i tried:

Resetting APN's

Turning Phone on and off and removing the batterie

Turn airflight mode on and off

Turn data connection on and off

Set all browser options to default

Nothing seems to have any effect. I can still only use the default browser over wifi and not on 3G but i never use wifi so that kinda sucks....
[Legend General] sfara:
Must be something related to the Wifi AP or Router...as you probably know Android does not support out of the box connecting to AD HOC networks...maybe it has something to do with the AP configuratie...just an ideea.

Good luck.
[Legend General] jjs87:
happend to be a app i had tested and deleted again named proxy anonymous. It ****ed up something in the browser. To bad someone only told me after i had already did a reset :(

I finally found why :

in the browser go to parameters and then turn on "mobile view for websites"
