Crashing Sense UI?


Recommended Posts

In the past couple of days my Hero has developed a fairly regular crash, once every 30-60 minutes it would seem.

I see the HTC logo comes up, then to the main lock screen pretty quick (so it's not as long as an actual restart) but when I slide open, Sense UI is loading back up again.

Apps I recently updated are -

ASTRO File Manager

beebPlayer

Backgrounds

gTranslate

3G Watchdog

Unit Converter

Barcode Scanner

GameOn

PicSay

TasKiller Full

Gang Wars Lite

i Music

I think I'm most concerned about ASTRO File manager, as I think that's added some process and systems stuff. Having said that, I'm literally doing another update for that now, so maybe it's them and they're releasing a fix...

Also, I've moved from 2.6 ROM to 2.7.1 (crashing started around here) and then up to 2.8 ROM.

Anyone have similar problems and have similar apps?

Have you added any widgets lately?

It does sound like Sense is bombing out, and I'd heard that can be caused by "bad widgets"

Well that didn't last too long... it's resetting Sense UI again now :D

To confirm, it doesn't reset the phone. I was riding home listening to a Podcast, it went off as Sense UI reset but when I got home 'uptime' was almost 2 hours.

Is there any 'clean up' type apps, that go through removing old files, old links etc?

I don't know if it's relavent, but yesterday when I had my microSD card from my phone plugged into my computer I noticed the swap file was still visible and in use on the main partition? Is this just because I have Swapper set up wrong? I thought the 2.8 ROM did it all for you?

Do you have Teknologist's Kernel installed too????

I installed it last night, that's actually when things went really bad and the phone itself started to reset constantly while loading Sense UI :D

I've not applied update.zip of the 2.8 ROM again. Does that replace the kernel?

There is your problem....

Teknologist's Kernel does nor play nice with Swapper. You need to uninstall swapper. You can leave the swap partition if you don't want to wipe your device but swapper and Teck's kernel don't go along. :D
