A fix coming for Sense rebooting bug?

[Bryce N]

Thanks to all here for the GO Launcher advice. The constant Sense rebooting was driving me nuts. I installed GO Launcher yesterday and am really liking it so far. I also downloaded SiMi Clock and the Simple Calendar widget, both of which I highly recommend. And the GO Note Widget is great too, reminds me of the old notes function on my Pre, which I liked and hadn't been able to duplicate on my Shift up until now.

The scrolling dock in GO Launcher has allowed me to really clean up my home screens and make everything a lot less busy than it was in Sense. Also the iOS-esque drag apps to create folders is a great feature that allows you to have a lot more apps on one screen.

It's only one day, but so far so good! It's made me go from having a phone that I wanted to throw against the wall to really enjoying the level of customization and user-friendly features. Thanks all!

Holy cow, my shift has been driving me insane the last few months, and i've called sprint, but of course it didn't help...i've googled fixes, and have contemplated rooting my phone, but being the noob/klutz i am, i'm convinced i would probably do something wrong (and to be honest, i dont even know how rooting my phone would help the problem, which probably is indicative of why i shouldnt root it...) anyway..stumbled upon this thread, and just downloaded Go launcher, and with in seconds i can tell how much better it is...thanks guys

GO Launcher EX also has some very nice themes available. I'm currently using the Cube Theme and I love it. So check out the goodies available to you, especially GO SMS Pro (which is free). I also very highly recommend the Swiftkey X keyboard.

Agreed with many of the posts concerning GO Launcher EX and the like. The Sense booting was driving me to dislike my phone. Now, even sans-Sense, I like it again. Also using GO SMS to avoid the screen scrolling to the top while typing texts. I'm sure there are other options out there as well; it is a little sad that Sense has these issues, on this phone...

It really is a shame that Sense had/has these issues. The shame is on HTC because they've known about the issues all along, but never bothered to fix, or even address them. Numerous inquiries went unanswered from me, and I'm sure from many others. They're attitude was/is like, "So what! Deal with it." Glad you like both the GO products; I like all their products.

Just thought I would throw this out there because it was kind of hard for me to find. If you are rooted, go to the following site to apply the fix. You have to be in adb shell when you are applying the command but I did this on my fiancee's phone two days ago and it worked like a charm. She hasn't had the loading screen once and she used to get it daily.

Saw this and had high hopes, unfortunately after the last update I'm on Android 2.3.4 and the temp root instructions are for 2.3.3, any idea if this will work also or if there are temp root instructions for 2.3.4?

Considering perm root however, as I'm a rooting noob, still debating the time investment and it's worth to me.

If only HTC would just admit and fix the issue...

Well rooting takes all but 5 or 10 minutes to do but for the newest update rooting guide head over to xda general section

i will never go back to Sense even if they fix it. Easily the worst launcher I have used. I went with Go and never looked back!

 

[turkbot]

Honestly ive tried go and all those other launchers and to me they dont even compare to sense and the reloading issue has never been an issue with me

After leaving the Sense UI for Go Launcher, I don't think I'll go back to sense after running in 5x5 grid size for so long. Just wouldn't seem right to ever go back to 4x4 with the Evo Shift's screen resolution.
