Hi, I've got an HTC Sensation which has been running VERY slow for a long time, constantly getting the white HTC screen and loading all the time, my HTC Hero was way way faster!
I've searched all over forums to find a fix and tried many suggestions but with no luck. At the end of last year I was just going to do a factory reset hwoever HTC claimed Ice Cream Sandwich would be coming out early 2012 so I thought I'd wait for that to see if this sloved whatever problem was causing the severe lag.
Then it was put back to March, then April, some people on Orange say they have had the update but I'm STILL waiting. Has anyone here on Orange with a standard Sensation had the update?

Just been onto Orange Twitter and they say there is no update. I can't link to it as I'm a new poster but thier handle is @OrangeHelpers
 
I'm on Orange patiently awaiting the update. From waht I've read elsewhere there is a problem with swappables not working and ICS will be released when resolved. Having said that, ICS has been released for the XE so I don't know if this was how they discovered the problem or whether what I read is BS.

What is swapables? Orange bloatware?

Now, I am not on Orange but if it is any help I am on O2. My Sensation is unbranded and I recevied my update around 2 weeks ago. Before ICS, I was getting the white screen then followed by loading quite a lot, seemed to happend most when exiting something while connected to the net. I switched to Go Launcher becasue of this and never got it once. Since ICS update I have reverted back to Sense, in 2 weeks the white screen has happened twice.

Thanks Alan, I'll give Go Launcher a try

Thank you so much, this seems to have cured the awful lag problem. I can't believe it was Sense that was causing it!
