I've owned a bunch of HTC phones but have been having issues with my new HTC Rezound. Whenever I exit certain applications the stock launcher reloads and displays the HTC Splash Screen. Seems to happen most often with Draw Something (but does happen with other apps as well). Anyone else have a similar issue or know of a fix?

I am actually surprised to say this but I am going to say it (knocks on wood) anyway. I know exactly the issue you are speaking of with sense phones in general. have had it happen tons of times on phones from the Droid Eris, to Incredible 1 & 2, TBolt, and they have all done this. I am into week 2 of my rezound and haven't seen it once. {walks away and launcher redraws}.
Are you running any tweaks or mods like the leedroid tweaks?

On my Incredible, I used V6 Supercharger to prevent this (and it worked amazingly well!).
I have V6 on my Rezound, and in the 30+ days I've had it, I've had exactly one re-draw of the launcher, and I really think that was my fault. Check it out!
V6 Supercharger
Thanks for the input. Mine is totally bone stock...I just received it yesterday. On my Incredible it would happen once in a great while. On the Rezound it happens almost consistently. And I wouldn't mind if it didn't take the launcher so long to recover.

When sense does that it either has run out of Memory or forced closed
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
I figured as much. But that means I'm constantly out of memory which is odd for a bone stock phone. I even turned off back ground processes that might have been sucking up memory. It's bad enough that it makes me want to return the phone.

It could be a memory leak in an app. If you notice it happening with a particular app try uninstalling it and see how it runs.

I've turned off fast boot and cpu timelines which has seemed to help thus far. Worse case I guess I could just restore the phone and reinstall one app at a time. Main culprit definitely seems to be Draw Something though.

Have you checked to see how much memory draw something uses? I know that words with friends is a memory hog.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
Good call. Draw Something uses 72MB which is nearly twice as much as other average apps. In fact I would argue that it's almost unacceptable. I still can't believe the launcher wouldn't have a higher memory priority over other user apps though.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I noticed this happens when I use Scramble With Friends. It used about 130 MB of memory. Sometimes more so I uninstalled it. Sense uses about the same amount of memory. I think because the phone gets low on memory it shuts down Sense because it is using lots of memory. Seems ridiculous that this happens, but it does.

Sense 3.5 takes up a ton of memory so when its not used and other programs require more ram sense is unloaded. Once you go back to the home screen it has to be reloaded.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Draw Something, Facebook, Any of those games and whatnot constantly streaming data, seem to decide to use all your ram for no reason. I like ICS for the reason that now you can close stuff when your done with it
So when ICS rolls out with Sense 3.6 they'll hopefully have this fixed. I bought this phone for Sense and I'm just amazed how fickle it seems this far.

That's half the answer the problem is the ram is supposed to dump the apps from the ram in order of least important but for some reason the sense launcher drops to a less important level when not in use (to give back more ram I guess). Like many people have said V6 will fix this problem and is super easy to use so I would give that a try is a great script.

Ya I'm definitely thinking about trying that out. But it requires root doesn't it? Not sure I'm ready to sacrifice my warranty just yet. I wish I could just reprioritize Sense in system settings.

This seems like a pretty huge bug, I would go into AT&T and ask about it, maybe they will bump up your monthly or at least take away any overage fees if you go over your plan. I haven't seen this but I am on wifi a lot of the time personally..
Has anyone else noticed this? If no one has I might see if I can switch it out for another after school

Hm.
Do you watch YouTube on Hi Quality on mobile? I did and used 25 gigs of data. It comes up under Android OS in data usage, which threw me for a while. Stop watching youtube on mobile for a bit and see if that helps.
I've had the DNA since 11/21 and I'm surprised more people are not complaining about the phone freezing up and rebooting?
I saw the other post about DNA problems and he mentioned Chrome causing the problem. My DNS froze running Chrome as well so I uninstalled that but it still freezes up when I am in the Mail and Gmail application. It does not happen with a certain action in any application so I am not sure why it keeps freezing up and then rebooting.
I do not have a lot of apps but I am using UCCW, Simi Battery Widget, and Android Pro Widgets on my homescreens. Other than those widgets I pretty much only use the Internet browser, camera, phone, Play Music, and Facebook.
Is anyone else having the same problem with their DNS randomly freezing and rebooting?
I don't think it's a phone issue, but more of an app issue? Remember not all apps are truly compatible with this phone as of yet. Sure, you might be able to download the app you want, but it may not play nice with this new device. I say start fresh, do a factory reset, and add apps all over again. I tend to stay away from apps like UCCW, BW, and so on as I think those are not really ready for this phone. Of course I could be wrong though?
If the problem occurs after the factory reset, I say exchange it for a new one, and hope it's a good phone.
Good Luck!
I discovered the same thing yesterday but luckily I was able to duplicate back to Any.DO. So I just step carefully around the app where it works.
I am using Power Widget and Beautiful Widgets on my home screen with no issues so far.
I would take the previous posters recommendations.

I just thought it was weird because I really don't run that many apps and like minimal style homescreens. I had the Galaxy Nexus and used to run all different types of ROMs (CM10, AOKP, Jelly Belly, Paranoid Android, etc.) (4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2) and I never had an issue with that phone freezing up like the DNA.
No problem here

I have two DNA's, picked them up on 11/21. As of yet neither have had any issues, even the batteries have performed better than expected. I actually ditched the razr maxx hd. Maybe its a manufacturer issue, exchanging it shouldn't be an issue.

I saw the demo at the Verizon store randomly reboot for no apparent reason. This was early on the day it was released, and I don't think they had added any apps yet. I clenched my teeth and bought it anyway. So far, so good.

if you are rooted, you can delete system apps using titanium, root explorer, etc, etc.
Personally, if a brand new phone is having reboots after a hard reset, it would be getting exchanged.

Why did you ditch the RAZR?
I am considering the DNA or the Razr as my next unit.
i have been dealing w/the reboots and freezing now more and more each day. sucks i'm not sure wats causing this to happen.i'm rooted and still on stock jellybean..could it be a kernel or something cause this really didnt start to happend til i changed kernels.
the only i noticed is a few of my apps were not compatible. some apps will run until i select a certain action then fc. some apps start but then shut right down. these apps just arent for the dna yet its ok delete and repeat lol
99% chance Its your kernel. The guys are doing a great job with the new kernels, but only one has been truly stable. DSB's first kernel is the only stable one I am aware of (aside from stock). I am currently on his 1.2.5 and it seems stable, but not 100% sure just yet.

with the internal SD being 16 gigs and 11 usable, how is it partioned? for example, those 5 gigs between 16 and 11 are set aside for system, rom, apps etc right? (it's probably like 3-4 gigs since it's not fully 16gb..)
i only ask because i can't figure out where my storage is going. i plugged into pc, and highlighed everything on my internal storage, and its only 6 gigs. i've got 3 gigs free it says, so that's 9 gigs. where are those last 2 gigs? i can't figure it out.
Yea it's kinda weird. Also have you noticed that in settings/apps/running it shows the ram at whatever you have left out of 1.5gb instead of it being out of 2gb just like the original dna specs were saying it was.
Sent from my 5 Senses of DNA
It breaks down to 12gb for /data, 1.9gb for /system, 700mb for /cache, 10mb for radio_config, 17mb for recovery, 18mb for boot, 2mb for misc, 2mb for local, 50mb for radio, 100mb for reserve, 20mb for devlog, and the rest is for other partions. If you want to view how it breaks down, look at /proc/emmc and read the hex values. :good:

Initially this was a problem for me. It was either the DNA or the Note II. The fact is that we are moving to a cloud environment in all aspects of IT, even mobile phones.
All of my videos, television, music, and lectures are in the cloud. There is no real need for me to have a 64GB phone, or an SD slot. The idea is that we would migrate our multimedia fix to the cloud.. and our devices would become less expensive because of the lack of required storage.
To date, after 3 weeks of having the DNA... I haven't skipped a beat. All of my music is cloud based, my camera is linked to dropbox - automatically uploading pictures and video as I take them. And my movies and television are of course, online.
So how much storage do we really need then? And why is it then a real issue?

That's cool, I don't blame you a bit with Wi-Fi like that. I also have unlimited data, so it doesn't bother me at all to use data.
I was also answering a question that wasn't asked by you. And where was I complaining?
Since some of us are s-off, i think we can actually repartition our intertnal memory.
Gnex also had 16gb memory, but it had 13 gb memory for user. We could do with those additional 2 gb
Maybe some dev can look into that. My 2 cents.

You can reflash the ROM, which would wipe everything out. You can wipe your internal storage via recovery, also. In addition, if the phone has a Sense ROM installed you can dial ##786#, go to the menu and choose reset, which will wipe the phone clean.
