I'm from the HTC Sensation forums, and were trying to figure this out to no avail. Can you guys please let us know if you have the same problem as us? I think it would help us pinpoint more if you let us know, because if you have the same problem... good indication its a Sense 3.0 problem.... if you dont.... maybe its a carrier problem...
Thanks for any replies...
Bump...........
The agenda widget, all the time. Hate it!
coming from the evo4g i do notice that it takes a while to load now(comparatively speaking). maybe like 10-15 seconds to load now
Getting force close recently. Wtf? Maybe if I took ota's if would remedy the problem?
IDK but I'm not real happy about it. Luckily I have a very light summer schedule and don't need the calendar so much right now. I hope it gets resolved by August!
...adjusting to life without the trackball
About everything I go to the calendar/calendar widget, it has to reload.
I have the same issue and its really pissing me off. Data should be preloaded all the time, thats why it's a widget.
Yes.. and it sucks.
Yes, I noticed this pretty much since day 1.
I've since switched to an alternate launcher (still switching between Launcher Pro and GO) with it's own calendar widget. No such loading issues with these calendars, so it's probably something to do with Sense or the widget itself.
Also, didn't FriendStream have a similar issue? I wouldn't know because I pulled it into the trash pretty soon after turning my phone on for the first time, but I thought I remembered seeing something about that, too. I haven't tried the other launcher FB or Twitter widgets (or the App widgets), so I can't comment on differences in performance for those functions.
I already called HTC about this... they had never heard of this before..... but if we all call up support and tell them were having this problem... thats the only way its going to get fixed, if anything.
Switched to Pure Calendar Widget.
i hope they come up with new OTA soon. this phone is nice but all the bugs in the software are just too much. i had a rooted Evo 4G with MikG rom and it was smooth as butter. Why can't HTC fix thier software, get rid of all the Sprint bs that is preinstalled and eats up our battery. WTF. I am spending so much time trying to solve these bugs i don't even enjoy the phone.
I was just wondering if anyone is running SPB Shell 3D on their phone and how they like it. Does it make the phone laggy? Is it a battery hog? I was thinking of getting it for my wife. She loves the phone but the UI is a little dull in her opinion and I wanted to kinda spice it up for her a bit. She was very discouraged when I told her the MoPho has almost zero dev support and she is now wondering if she made a mistake buying one. I am trying to explain to her that it's still an amazing phone but giving her a little "visual enhancement" with the 3D shell would go a long way I think.
Thanks in advance!
Ive had it for a few days and I love it. imo I noticed an improvement with the UI over the stock one.
my sister runs it on her photon. shes a pretty big user when it comes to Facebook and texting... blah blah blah. shes runs a stock photon rooted and has no issues. when i have used her phone just a few times, its memory is always around 320ish free where im not running 3dshell and have around 400ish. so it uses up a little more RAM, but i havent seen any big battery issues. she makes it through a whole work day with heavy use.
I would get it for myself, but its 15 bucks!!! im more interested in giving that money to developers within my phone to have other stuff.
but for your wife, i think she will greatly enjoy it. MY sister loves it and she runs it on her Samsung tab also that her 2 year old uses.
When you think about it... its probably a really good thing she has the same on both, allows the kids to be familiar with how moms phone works in case there is an emergency and they have to use their mammas phone. they will know how to navigate since its the same.
I like it alot. Don't notice any difference in battery life. I have had it restart a couple times. I think its the best. I have used it on every rom I've installed, homebase, alien, magnifier, jokers stock and skinny, even put it on cm7. Don't regret the $15 purchase at all.
sent from a cm7 totin mopho.
Just buy it and try it out. If she doesn't like it, get a refund.

Google market doesn't give you enough time to properly try most apps, especially a launcher.
Buy it. I bought the SPB Shell when I had the HTC Evo. The launcher is really slick. The animations are awesome, and the SPB Widgets are pretty cool as well. Very little customization - meaning changing themes or colors (like a Go Launcher, or Launcher Pro), however it is one of the most responsive launchers that I have used. Definitely worth the $15. Your wife wil not complain!
Thanks guys
I bought it, but I don't use it... It just sits in my apps taunting me... Seriously though, if you use the webtop on the phone then you will end up hating it, it uses WAY to much memory. I am a very heavy webtop user and had to give it up, I couldn't have more than 2 tabs open in the browser without getting a low memory issue.
That said if you don't sport the webtop then you will not have any issues. The GUI is fast and when I did use it I noticed no impact on the battery. If it wasn't for webtop I would be all over it... But I do so love my webtop.
I have been using it for moths and love the smooth functional interface. Seems way more responsive than stock
I've been using it for quite a while. Runs smooth on the Photon and battery life is good. Just use home switcher from the Market and switch over to the stock UI before activating Webtop. Then just switch back when done.
Honestly, if all she wants is a UI change put LP or ADW on there with some themes and see what she says. Then use apps such as Beautiful Widgets, Folder Organizer, etc to customize the screens even more. All for little to no money spent.
BTW....SPB will give a refund past the 15min trial the Market gives if you send them an email request. Also, SPB can be had for $9.99 off Handster if you do the phone purchase and don't mind dl the updates manually.
I just don't see that there is 14 or even 10 dollars worth of software there.
I understand that this is why big names took and are still taking for ever with mobile developments (users won't pay a ton of cash for software any more), but really your paying for a bunch of ActionScript animations and that's about it, yeah its nifty and kind of cool to look at - but ADW EX has tons of animations as well, not to the level SPB does, but for 90% less than what SPB charges.
I purchased it last night and she seems to enjoy it but she said this morning she is having an issue with Handcent where she keeps getting the same 2 messages from her sister over and over again for the past hour. I wonder if the 2 progs don't play nice together. That would really suck since she probably wouldn't give up Handcent.

Handcent is widely used enough that I would assume it would work with everything.
I would try clearing App Data of Handcent.
So I sent an email to SPB Tech Support regarding the SMS problem and they basically said that it can't be their product doing it. That's bull**** since it didn't do it until I installed the shell on her phone. Their solution was to download home launcher from the market and use it to switch back to Moto-Blur. Wow, thanks for nothing.

This might not be an issue with Handcent. I have been having issues with text messages for about a week. They are all coming in 3-4 days late, and some of them keep getting pushed back to me no matter how many times I delete them. And, I am using the stock messaging app.

They might be right. Could just be a coincidence. I haven't figured out why the text issues are happening yet. My guess is it is Sprint because my configuration hasn't changed and SPB hasn't updated since Oct. 12th.
But how can it be sprint if it wasn't doing it 2 days ago before I installed SPB? Also, I am not having any issues on my 3VO with SMS either. It's definitely a phone issue.

Its a common problem when using multiple msgr apps. Turn off notifications on one of them, or just uninstall handcent

I just don't see how it can be SPB since I have had it installed for a long time with the same setup. The last update to SPB was on Oct. 12th and I never experienced a problem until a week or so ago.
When time allows I will do some testing and see if I can figure out what is going on. There is a good chance another product might be causing the issue but will no more soon.
**Edit.....Forgot I did a battery pull last night and haven't had the issue occur yet. Will check it over the next few days and see what happens.
I never really write anything on XDA and I've been an Android faithful since the T-mobile G1 (the good old days!). I went from a G1 to the Evo 4G and eventually the Evo 3D. I've been rooting for HTC to come out as Android king but I can't handle the Evo 3D anymore. I've tried many ROMs and kernels but I have 3 main issues that just broke the straw on the camel's back:
1. Whenever I try to send a tweet using the official Twitter app, I always get a force close! I've gotten in the habit of using copy/paste to write out my tweet, copy, wait for the FC, open Twitter app again, and paste, with the hopes of having my tweet eventually sent. I'm a twitter addict, this is killing me!
2. Whenever my phone gets an incoming call, I can hear my ringtone and the phone's screen lights up, but the screen is black! This means that I can't see who is calling me, and I am unable to pick up the call. I have to use the power button to hang up on the person and try to call them back. Basically I can't receive calls.
3. This is a common issue with all Sense ROMs, but the Messaging app never shows an accurate "unread" messages count. If I read and reply to a text message and return to the "All Threads" screen on the messaging app, the thread still shows that there are unread messages. This is the most frustrating thing in the world! I have tried installing the MMS.apk from CyanogenMod, but if I attempt to install that in a Sense ROM I get a FC every time I try to send a text.
I tried to love this phone, I really did. The hardware is amazing and the phone is super fast, but I can't put up with these bugs. I have tried using SupraROM, Synergy, and WildShooter with the Silverneedle, Ziggy, and AnthraX kernels. I'm done with trying different ROM and kernel combinations. I really miss my Evo 4G with CM I didn't come here expecting solutions, I just really want to vent. I wish the Galaxy Nexus was coming to Sprint!
Sounds like you didn't wipe everything.

#2 is the only bug I've experienced. Its only happened once since I've owned the phone so I left it alone.

1. To fix this problem, go to settings>applications and clear data for the Twitter app. This should fix the FC. If not, uninstall it and reinstall. I had the same problem and that fixed it. If you can't uninstall it using either the market or Settings>applications, use a file manager and go to /system/app/ and find the Twitter.apk and delete it there.
2. I personally haven't had this problem but many have with custom ROMs, I believe both Eternity and Warm TwoPointThree have this fixed now (as well as many others I'm sure). Do a search, I've seen this all over.
3. This used to bother me as well. It is frustrating. I have found no solution. I just made myself get over it because I like the Sense 3.0 Mms app so much, but sounds like you don't have a preference since you tried to replace it, so maybe try GoSMS, Handcent SMS, or any number of other SMS apps on the market.
Good luck!
The only time I ever experienced #2 was when I was running Warm twopointthree with Tiamat kernel. Switched back to the tweaked stock kernel included with warm and haven't seen the issue since. All in all, Warm twopointthree is pretty much everything I could ask of a rom- fast, stable, SVN access to update without requiring a full wipe whenever I get a spare moment, and most importantly an absolutely stellar team of devs behind the scenes.
P.S. wiping your phone when switching between roms is crucially important and can easily cause a myriad of strange and/or inexplicable issues/bugs/FCs etc. Just fyi if you weren't aware...certainly no offense meant
#2 sounds like a kernal issue only. Ziggy kernals were bad for me.
Why dont u use a completely stock rom? Its faster than any evo4g modded imo
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
try not using custom kernels for a while..ive experienced the same issues and for me,going to a stock kernel fixes those issues.im on Myn's Warm rom and havent had any problems.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the suggestions. Whenever I change ROMs I always do a complete wipe and use MyBackup Pro to backup/restore my data and apps. Its really a PITA actually with the storage constraints (16 gb SD card, full of data) I usually have to backup everything in phases and transfer parts of my backup to my PC. I hate waiting for the backup/restore and transfer time from phone to PC. I've just really grown frustrated of the evo 3d. This was kind of my goodbye letter, I'm meeting up with someone on craigslist to trade for a Nexus S. Hopefully that can hold me over until I sprint gets an ICS phone *couch*Galaxy Nexus!*cough*. It's been real.
Never had any of these problems.

On phones with problem #2, everyone tells me to turn off my autobrightness. It works but then I don't have autobrightness so hit and miss there.

I hate it when fast food places put mayonnaise on my burgers when I told them not to. Keep that nasty **** off of my sandwich!
#1 - I've never had a problem with the twitter app
#2 - I've had this issue when using the ziggy kernel thats why I don't use it (some ROMs use it)
#3 - I agree with you but I don't get a lot of SMS messages so I haven't had your degree of frustration.
So it boils down to #3 as the only real "issue". I did notice the other day that the lockscreen did have a SMS count. Doubt that helps you at all. Good luck with the new phone and I hope it doesn't have any bugs.. I don't know of any device that is perfect even iPhones have some issues.
Seems a sneaky dev swiped it from a Galaxy III demo unit at a show.
Its now available for any device.
I plan on giving it try later today.

Has issues on mdeejays ICS rom (gsm). Pretty often, the screen does not update after doing a swipe (meaning you actually are on the next screen, but it continues to show the previous one right after the transition is done.)
Tried deinstalling Chainfire, which helped with some minor artifacts, but did not solve the real problem. Anyone else having these issues?

same issue here. Assume its similar to the chrome browser flickers, and in the giffgaff app when you try and open the keyboard it fails.
think the GSM leak has a few minor bugs in it still
I did find though sometimes if you leave it a minute, go into the article a minute and back again, or flick quickly back and forth a few times it rights itself

Working good so far.

Installed it last night on my Senseless ROM from monx and have had no issues so far.
I was a little disappointed that the app doesn't download stories for off-line reading (I spend 80% of my commute underground with no data service). In that regard, I am back to Pulse as my main news reader. It does exactly what I need.

Hello, long time DX2 rom user here. I have been using CM7 for awhile now, and the phone has slowed itself down considerably since I first flashed it. The biggest problem is that I think some of my text messages are taking a really long time to reach the person I'm sending them to.
I'd really hate to have to re-flash CM7 or even switch to Eclipse, but that right now looks like the only option. Has anyone else ever had this issue with a ROM? Thanks.

I never was on cm7 long enough to notice the delayed sms. I have experienced lag on virtually every ROM I've been on with this phone. I would check to make sure you aren't running too many apps or widgets that use data in the background. You can always clear cache and dalvik. Or wipe data if you don't mind starting over. All of the ROMs I've used have run smooth and quick right away. I would guess that you have some background processes running. Even if our phone had 1 gb of ram we would still notice it slowing down a bit, but it would take a while longer. I am loving cm10 right now because I'm able in developer settings to limit background processes to 3 and it really seems to help. I'm not sure that cm7 has that option.

I used this ROM for about 1 week and after the first day I started receiving delayed messages, and my phone started sending them late too. Honestly this is a know issue about CM7 so yes SOME people may experience this, I'm currently using liberty 3 and I love it! I used Liberty 3 for about 2 months and so far it runs smooth with no lag whatsoever. :laugh:
