No more waiting for Sense 4.0 - HTC One X

OK. Thought I make a new thread so the access to this findings is quick
Got really p. o. with the waiting for sense when I pause a game. so I fiddled in the settings.
in the development section
Don't keep activities
It is unticked by default. Tick it ( I went on recent apps to make sure it would be saved) and untick it again.
Made my laggy sense go away and the fun has really started for me now.
After a total power off it is still working fine.
So that's my finding of my todays birthday. Hope this helps some of you with this monsterphone ... I'm off for partying with my wife and kids now
Edit2:
Backup your device as soon as possible
When you update your os or change your rom you usually get a smoother experience with it after a factory reset.
My device setup:
turn off fast reboot
disable all stupid sounds and vibrations
disable all the developer settings except for the usb-debugging unless you are a developer (make sure you tick and untick the above mentioned "Don't keep activities")
disable 3 finger gesture
and for a new device or a new rom (update etc.):
Several reboot
are always good lol
btw:
many admin and modding tools interfere with each other and can cut down device performance,
so choose wisely...

Happy Birthday by the way Get smashed!

Edit: I think someone in the Prime forum mentioned this wrong default setting already don't remember in which context though.

I noticed a very brief pause while it seemed to reload apps but in the same position (like a specific area of a menu) and it really bugged me considering the hardware. I just gave what you suggested a try and it seems (key word there being seems) to have stopped this. I turned the setting on, went home and oh man that was painfully slow so then I turned it back off. It's almost as if the setting was half way between the two settings, maybe a hybrid setting. I'll keep an eye on this though in case it was just a placebo effect.

@3x13 good tip.
I actually just tried out the feature to see how the phone performed with it on, and thus found the solution myself...by random chance, but it makes a big diff.

Have updated the frontpost

Done the following except that I enabled usb debugging but the "sometimes" unresponsive touch screen still occurs

If you have updated you unfortunately should do a factory reset. Do a backup through adb first and play your applications back after.

Thanks for the tips bro
So if i get this correctly i have to tick "don't keep activities" go back to the home screen and then go back to "don't keep activities" and re-check it?
I think this is the correct way of doing it because if u keep it ticked then Sense always re-loads when u go on the home screen right?
Thanks again

Everytime I check 'don't keep activities' when pressing the home button it takes ages to load the home screen.
I have also got ticked no background processes, what does that actually do? Thought it would of been similar to don't keep activities

Correct, you tick it and then untick it. Not spectacular to do but the effects are brilliant.

So untick it again and then you are done. Background processes is another thing I wouldn't bother with.

Had this problem before. A simple reboot did the trick for me. :]
rebooted.. it worked for awhile. then it started up again. seems to be on and off.. very random. i looked thru everything on my phone thinking "maybe" theres some option thats making it do this, but nothing. its quite annoying when im trying to txt.

I'm assuming you're talking about the physical keyboard; its a quick keys bug, just push the search button first and it'll disable it

There actually is a setting for keyboard shortcuts - clear all of them and the problem goes away. No bug, the ROM has the shortcuts set when you flash it for some reason. Flash a newer ROM and it shouldn't do it - or just clear the shortcuts.
I can't look in my phone right now to tell you where the setting is at but it might do some good for you to look through them and become familiar so you don't call something a bug that isn't.

yeah i figured this was the problem. i looked through my phone pretty throughly and didn't see any options though. I'll look again and get back to this thread n report.
this has been happening on and off to my phone for the last couple of weeks, I am still running RC4. it is very strange, the ROM worked fine for a while and now does this every so often, pressing E opens email app, S opens search. a reboot fixed everytime and then for what seems like no reason at all, it starts again.
will go to stable this week and hopefully it will go away. just thought i'd add another device to the list of ones with the issue.
i have no shortcuts setup at all, and have double checked. have been using CM7 since the start and it never happened prior to RC4.
When this happen just hit the "symb/search" button and the keyboard will work again
Sorry it took so long to get back with the cure but here it is:
settings>applications>quick launch
In there is where all the hw keyboard shortcut settings are. Clear any you don't want, create new ones, or whatever. Clear the ones that are giving you issues and this should solve it. If you ever clear your user data (factory reset) then it clears these settings also, so you may have to go in and delete the shortcuts again.
Hope this helped!
thank you! i cleared it all.

Loading appears

Anyone else witness this when backing out of an app pretty quick, it's happened a few times when I quickly press the back button, I also seen when backing out browser I had some sort of green static in top left corner, only happened the once that like, are these faults common or is it worth enquiring about a replacement as I love the phone and not interested in an exchange for another... Only had it a week!!
Thanks
EDIT: Its also just happened but this time i was watching football, and the browser closed without my consent and the loading appeard.....

Home screen loading

Hello.
I have had my One X since its release and have had no problem with it. But now all of the sudden the homescreen has started loading all the time.
At one point today it loaded every singel time I backed out of the browser with the home button. Is there any fix to this other than a factory reset and hoping for the best?
thanks!
Did u change any seting in developer options? Namely the "dont keep activities". If so, uncheck it.
Developer options, don't keep activities.
Tick it, back out, go back, untick it. Job done.
thanks for your suggestions, but it did not solve the problem...

A simple restart of your phone should fix it.

Try check your RAM usage. If the RAM usage high this might be the problem.
Cause i had this problem also. I remove some games that use high volume of RAM and reset the phone. And the problem solve...
if you have rooted your phone try going to cwm and go to advance and fix permissions....
For some reason im constantly using over 800mb of ram, but nothing is using anywhere close to that... No root, and I would really love to not have to do a factory reset, tried removing some games and stuff now. But if it dosent help, its factory reset next
that worked

That seems to have worked for me, at least for the time being. Thanks. Now I just need Root and a tasty rom.
This worked for me! Cache may be the issue.
Download and install Android Assistant. Go to tools/cache cleaner/ and clear the cache. Then click the monitor tab and click the quick boost button. Bingo, problem solved for me at least and for a while I guess that's is until the cache gets full again. Good luck.
It worked for me

Thanks. IT worked for me. I unchecked "dont keep activities" and now my home screen is back to normal.
I have exactly the same issue. My RAM gets full and it keeps restarting apps. When I push the home button it looks like home screen restarts and needs to load again. Verry annoying! Tried the developper setting thingy now. Did already a factory reset but the problem was there again after a week or so.

Downloads App Always Pauses

I've been loving this phone since Saturday but came across an issue that I can't figure out how or why it's happening and to solve it. When I'm downloading a some what large file, I'll turn the screen off and after a certain amount of time Nougant will pause my download. While I love the ability to easily pause and cancel downloads finally, it's getting quite annoying have to check my phone ever 15min to make sure it's still downloading. I'm not sure the length of time yet for it to auto-pause my downloads, but it constantly happens.
Any suggestions on a way around this or how to fix it? Marshmallow didn't do this on my 6p.
Thanks!!

Try going to Settings --> Battery --> (top right 3 dots) --> Battery Optimize --> All Apps --> Downloads --> Do not optimize.
Only thing I can think of is the new Doze and sleep features kick in since they are set automatically to optimize. Try that and see if it helps.

Thanks for the help and to think I thought I've been thru all options. Just went and changed it and will test it out and report back. If it doesn't work, I'll change the Chrome option as well too.
Thanks!
Ended up pausing again so I turned it back on and turned off optimization on Chrome and I'll see what happens.
I've had this problem on a number of Android phones from various manufacturers but haven't found the cure yet. A reboot usually cures it for me.

This is the first phone for me that will pause stuff. Older phones would sometimes stop downloading tho.
Appears like changing optimization for chrome fixed the only issue so far!!

I guess that would also make some sense if you are downloading via Chrome. Glad you were able to get it figured out.

Yeah I misspoke, thought it was being controlled by the Downloads app. Thanks to you I was able to get it fixed.
I'm having exact same problem but I have a galaxy note 4.Downloading large files always pauses in chrome and cm browser but it never happens in stock internet app(samsung default browser).
I have whitelisted both browsers but that doesn't solves the problem for me.
Are there any other solutions?

If I just exit Chrome, download still works. If I close out the app, it'll pause and I'll have to go hit resume. Maybe yours is same way?

Notifications never working

To start, I've mentioned this in the ROM thread and no one ever got back to me. Twice. Not sure if it's a ROM issue or a permission I accidentally blocked when sweeping through system and app permissions.
ROM: freedom os (obv rooted)
Problem: notifications only show up on a few applications. In particular, LINE and text messages. No other apps on my entire device gives notifications at all. What I've found is that when I'm USING the apps, they'll show the notifications. Also sometimes after rebooting my device, all my notifications that have been "collecting" since last reboot will all go off (which leads to it making notification sounds and vibrating for a good five minutes).
I've tried googling this like crazy and can't seem to find the resolution. Again, I feel it's probably something I accidentally blocked when I shouldn't have, so any guidance would be appreciated!
Did you try going to settings->battery->battery optimization and setting the particular app to "don't optimize"?
Or in the same settings menu, you can completely turn off the battery optimization from the 3dot menu.

Sorry for the late response - I thought this emailed when a response came in lol. Anyway, yup I had made sure that wasn't set. As for completely turning it off, the 3 dots has "advanced optimization" which only has one switch, "Advanced optimization - restricted background activity of apps more aggressively..." which is turned off right now.
Still having this issue ( Afraid I'm gonna just have to wipe w/ another rom, but I like this rom minus this one issue so far
