Phone goes to "loading" when exiting apps with home button

**rastasquid** · 02-03-2012, 02:44 PM

My incredible 2 has been doing this annoying thing lateley....about 85% of the time when I press the home button, it says loading and has to load my home screen. It's irritating and has been doing it for a few months. Anyone else have this issue?

I've never had this issue before. But I do remember seeing a ROM that had that issue, and it was because of RAM values.

It's re-loading sense because you've pushed it out of the memory, I believe. Is there one particular app that it happens with? How long are you in that app before going to the home screen? Are you running stock or rooted and on a custom ROM?

It does it when exiting several apps but most commonly handcent. Im running stock. I thought it was magiclocker that I use for the iPhone lockscreen but I tried uninstalling it, and it still did it. Any suggestions anyone?

Is your device stock not rooted or S-OFF?

I'm not sure what s-off means... But it's definitely not rooted. I tried uninstallling handcent..that wasn't the problem....still happening.

If you don't know then it probably isn't the only question is did you buy it new from verzion?

I had this issue for over a year, and even had an open ticket with HTC about it, wit no success in curing the problem.

What's happening is Sense is crashing. I've posted this issue on other DInc2 boards; it's not a common problem, but others have had it. i thought it might be related to specific apps, but after much experimentation I could not find out what was causing it.

It would seem to happen sporadically - it would occur almost every time I return to Home for a week or two, and then mysteriously stop. Then it would reoccur a few weeks later. I love the phone, but this was maddening.

What I finally did - I stopped using Sense. I loaded Go Launcher, and I use that for my Home screens.

Sorry - I meant several months, not 'over a year' - I got the phone in July (it just seems that long lol)

I have had this happen as well and I noticed it happens most with certain Sense widgets, specifically the Friendstream and Bookmarks widget. I stopped using those and this problem has decreased a lot for me.

I didn't use either one of those widgets and it kept happening to the point where I used Go Launcher instead of Sense becasue it was so annoying. At one point I started a ticket with HTC customer support; they never solved the problem.

I just got a replacement phone last week for my DInc2 that broke. I loaded it and I'm only using Sense. So far, so good (fingers crossed).

i had the same problem one day after buying icecream sandwich on my htc one x

tried everything, including disabling most active running software, and restarting. I even did a factory reset and reinstalled everythingn, initially worked fine, then started lagging whenever it goes to the main page/desktop.

Finally found it out:
In settings => developer options, there's an option at the bottom to force applications to shut as soon as not actively used. you have to UNCLICK that option. and restart your machine. (you'd think that option wouldnt include the main launcher, but whatever).... Problem solved!

I don't see this option on my (unrooted) DInc2. In the Applications settings, there's a group of settings under Development, but they are "USB Debugging", "Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)", and "Allow Mock Locations".
