HTC (High Tech Computer Corporation)– is a Taiwanese manufacturer of mobile phones and other devices. The devices of this company occupy high positions in various reviews and ratings. Although the software and the devices themselves are not always ideal.
Lately, HTC smartphones have become very popular. For the same reason, the number of questions about working with built-in applications and their errors has also increased. The most common question is that there is an error in the Sense Home app on HTC. We will look at how to fix it and what kind of application it is later in the article.
System program for HTC – Sense Home
This is a modern launcher pre-installed on the device. When compared with similar programs, Sense Home has the same functions and settings, but is supplemented with its own individual features. They are a broadcaster of news from popular social networks. networks (Twitter, Google, etc.), as well as various screensavers taken from the device’s gallery or purchased from the store. News output blocks can be customized to the user's taste, down to the smallest detail.
Fixing the Sense Home application error on HTC
There is no need to be afraid of such messages: “Sense Home error has occurred” or “The process has stopped”, etc. Often crashes and program errors occur during prolonged operation or during updates, as well as when some software is incompatible. Many new programs and games have their own cache - a container with data that helps improve and speed up the program. This cache becomes clogged over time, filling up with various temporary files, which is why various crashes and various kinds of messages appear in the system. Below are instructions that you can follow to resolve error messages in Sense Home.
Sometimes the causes of glitches and slowdowns are recently installed games and applications. In this case, determine which programs or games affect the operation of the system widget and whether it can be replaced or removed altogether. You must remember that the more games and all kinds of entertainment programs are installed on the system, the more garbage and conflicts may appear on your device. The phone needs to be cleaned from time to time using special utilities that can be downloaded from online stores. You also need to install and update anti-virus software for your smartphone to fix problems in the Sense Home program on HTC.
How to add a widget to your home display
To ensure that you always have access to the widget, you need to add it to the home screen of your smartphone. To do this:
- On the screen, on an unoccupied area, press with your finger and hold for a long time.
- A window will pop up in which point to the “Add widgets and applications” item.
- Select the triangle with "Widgets".
- In the list that opens, you must select Sense Home or the search magnifying glass to find by entering the name. Settings also allows you to set different styles and sizes for some apps.
- Now that it has appeared on the home screen, tap on it and hold until it is ready to move. Then drag it to the desired location where it will be convenient for you to open it.
You can also add software components to the Home screen that allow you to turn system functions on/off, similar to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology.

- For convenience, add it to your Start screen.
- Make sure your phone has automatic location detection turned on.
- In the settings of the “HTC Sense Home” widget, select “Customize”, then “Customize” again.

Despite some isolated glitches, in general, HTC tries to keep the software components of high-price smartphones up to date for as long as possible. In the future, this situation will become even better, if you believe the company’s speakers, who promise an increase in support periods for flagships. In addition, HTC is always very sensitive to updates, trying to save user data and settings after installation. But recently the system crashed, and it seems only for Russian owners of HTC One.
Around the end of last month, local versions of last year's HTC flagship began receiving a fresh update with the Accessory Store and Wallet applications. It comes both to smartphones with Android 4.3, of which there are still a lot, judging by reader reviews, and to devices that have already been updated to KitKat. Despite its modest size, only 17 MB, it causes significantly more problems than large packages with the new version of the system.
If HTC usually writes that the update will not delete data or reset the user’s settings, here, on the contrary, a warning appears about resetting personalization. This means that after installing it, you will have to re-arrange icons on your desktops, change the wallpaper, and so on. It’s not entirely clear what caused the user’s settings to be reset, but it’s probably the “Wallet” application that is “to blame,” which, we recall, uses Secure Element. Unfortunately, not all HTC One owners read the warning before installing the update, which provoked a wave of negativity.
One of our readers with the nickname ShkipeR writes that in addition to this update, he received an additional one, also modest in size and equally destructive for personalization. So we recommend that after installing the package described above, go to the “About phone” system settings item, select “Software updates” and click “Check now”. If there is another update, be sure to install it, and then start personalizing your smartphone.
The Russian office of HTC seems to be the obvious culprit for users’ problems, because its cooperation with i-Free to integrate the “Wallet” program led to massive negative reviews. Fortunately, only personalization is reset, and owner data remains untouched.
Personalizing your phone is a nice thing. Typically, users complete it immediately after purchase. This is especially true for ringtones and desktop pictures. On HTC Desire, the personalization section is located in the “settings” menu. This is where we go to explore the possibilities and determine our needs.
The very first point in setting up is the choice of scenes. Although, in our opinion, ringtones are still more important - more people around will hear them. But stories are stories. There are a total of seven desktop scene options available.
This applies not only to the pictures you see, but also to the location of shortcuts and folders on the seven desktops. Therefore, when you change the scene, the phone will prompt you to save the previous one - this way you can not lose your settings for desktops. You can do the same with any of the scenes that you have changed - save it as a custom one and switch to the already configured screen profile at any time.
The next item is the screen background.
You can install photos from your gallery, wallpapers suggested by HTC, or other wallpapers on it.
When installing photos taken with the camera, you need to select the area that will be displayed directly on the screen.
Practical tip: Be sure to see what the final image will look like on screen. Sometimes part of a photo doesn't look as good as the whole picture, so it's worth replacing it with something else.
You can select ringtones from a preset list, or download them yourself using one of the available methods.
The resulting composition can be assigned to one of the contacts in the phone book, or to all incoming calls. You can assign several melodies to the people who call you most often: parents, significant other, bosses or mother-in-law :) For convenience, you can assign not a whole melody to a call, but a part of it.
If you are a user of any of the phone models HTC and began to notice that from time to time your HTC phone freezes, does not respond to your actions, slows down, you need to stop panicking and the first thing you should do is simply try to reboot the device. Remember that in all problems the best initial solution is to reboot.
No response to the power button
It may happen that the smartphone will not respond to the power button after a reboot. In this case, you need to remove the battery and insert it back after a while. Usually such a simple operation is effective.
The problem is not being solved
After rebooting, check if this helps and the problem goes away. If the problem persists, you will most likely have to reset your smartphone.
Hardware fee
The procedure you need is often called a hard reset and it erases all user files and data from the phone's memory card. Therefore, if you have anything important on it, it is better to create a “backup”.
Remember that after a master reset, all your applications, data and user settings will be deleted, so think carefully about this operation.
If you still decide to perform a hard reset, you need to press the button on the phone’s home screen Menu, then select Settings.
Scroll down the screen a little and you will find a menu Confidentiality, which contains the graph Factory reset.
It is in this column that you can safely click on Reset your phone, then click Erase everything.
If the problem is still not resolved
If you are unable to turn on the phone, or even after a hard reset, problems with the device remain; in such cases, it is recommended to contact a specialized service center, where professional staff will deal with the problem.
