[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Regarding the Sense 3.0 which says won't be porting to the old devices our at least to the newly released. Theres an article on techradar that HTC Taiwan had twitted that some elements of Sense 3.0 maybe ported to their old devices. We just have to wait and see.
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
@TS

If you feel that the LG 2X really do meet your requirement, then by all means get the 2X. Thinking that it will be getting a Gingerbread update soon and might fix all bugs and may improve performance.

But as for me...very satisfied with Desire S
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
that is because loading webpages is more dependent on connection speed than processing power

where the real difference comes in is during gaming & watching videos

so if these two are important you should get a dualcore phone

from the community at lg2x i think they will fix the video playback issue in their custom roms (if lg doesn't fix them sooner)
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
good news :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
thanks titus + kartkk

tbh, i dont watch videos on my phone much! and i am quite already satisfied with the gaming performance on single core! and the battery on the lg is crap, the battery on the ds is known to be excellent.

So what other benifits does the dual core have?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
it is only a matter of time before games which work only on the new dual core phones with super GPU are developed

another benefit of dual core is multi tasking is easier

(some people claim battery life is better but i dont know)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
thanks!

SENSE 3.0 IS COMING!

there will be sense 3.0 on older devives!, htc just confirmed it! (but in a slightly different form)
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
nice :D

i think the DS will sell better now

i dont like the 3D homescreen any way

but i wish they dont leave out the animations in the lock screen :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
yeh! looks awesome! lock screen animations! :D

is the incredible s better than this? it semms to be... but more expensive! ut has srs wow hd , but does the desire s have it?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
the incredible S has a bigger screen (but reduced ppi)

some people say that it has the best camera for a htc device (better than the DS)

the camera is also 8MP instead on 5MP on the DS

im not sure about the sound though....
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
the IS will also have shorter battery life due to the larger screen. persinally, i dont use the camera on phones rarely. but i think the DS camera is good enough! it has HD recording aswell which is a plus!

yeh, the DS doesnt have SRS WoW.. but the IS does.

when are you getting this device? :)
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
im not sure as soon as the shop from which i want to get my device gets the stock...

they said they will get a new batch tomorrow but i doubt it
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
ok :)

im looking to get mine in summer, will it still be worth it then? :)
[HTC Desire S] norocel:
I was playing woth optimus 2x and the quality of the material was so low,i could scratch the aluminium insersion from.the back with small presure with the nail,and that for me was like really not cool! On top of that the phone is tall like hell! Obviously if you are not a heavy gamer or obsessed by the numbers of benchmark, dual core and tegra 2 would be useless for you! Aluminiun unibody Rocks!! And i tell you from my old nexus one experience,smack it so many times and barelly bade 2 small small marks.not to mention battery keps it's propertyes even after 1 year and some mounths of heavy use.
[HTC Desire S] Espen:
Nothing to doubt

OK, so I come from the Desire HD to the Optimus 2x and now the Desire S.

Although the hardware specs on the LG is supreme, the user experience is far from it. The LG phone is laggy and lacks a lot of great features that HTC has built into the Sense. I experimented quite a bit with the LG in the two weeks I had it, installed the modified ROM from MoDaCo (fr10), different home screens etc just to see if I could make it match my old HD. But no.

Going to the Desire S was just great. The user experience is the smoothest I've seen ever (ok, if not including iPhone4 - sorry) and it is sooo much more polished than the LG.

Also there are several apps not working on the LG. According to WiMP (Spotify-type service, only better) they had to make a special version of their app for this phone since LG did not follow standards :-( NFS Shift does not work, and a few others.

Edit:

Remembered two more things. Build quality and battery life of the Desire S is also a lot better!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
thank you everyone! but did you find the desire s screen a little small after coming from a dhd? thats my.concern... my tg01 is a 4.1inch display, and im moving to 3.7... is it a dramatic difference?
[HTC Desire S] njd:
Well my wife has a 4" Galaxy S, and although the screen on that doesn't seem much bigger, the text (in ListViews etc) seems noticeably larger.

Not so much that you squint when moving down to the size of the Desire S, but it's an appreciable difference.

I also find the Swype keyboard (not standard - I installed the beta) is a little cramped in portrait mode. The HTC keyboard is fine though.

I suppose what I'm saying is that if you're used to everything being spread out a bit more on a larger screen, the Desire S will take some adjustment.
[HTC Desire S] crash_194:
I have a Desire HD, the origional Desire, and just got a Desire S. I love the HD but the screen is absolutely rubbish however the spec is great and it works brilliant. If only the screen was better, it would justify the size more. The screen on the origional Desire (AMOLED) is awesome but the internals are becoming dated.

Enter the Desire S! lol Lovely size, packing the punch of the HD whilst running gingerbread, and it has a screen that looks like its come from outerspace compared to the other two. Its a really solid handset.

My recommendation would be to go and have a good play about with one. I think this phone is very underated at the minute.

Sorry if i've gone a bit off track, unfortunately I can't comment on the LG.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the feedback :D

Yeh, it will take some time getting use to the screeen! Especially my tg01 is a brick! It's even bigger than the DHD/HD2 even though it has a smaller screen (larger footprint)

Thanks for the advice ;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the feedback! why did you go from the dhd to DS though? Was it because of poor battery life? also it the dhd faster...? Some ppl say it is! (maybe becasue it has froyo which is faster than gingerbread)

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Hey guys,

I exchanged the original 8 GB card that came with my HD7 for a 32 GB card yesterday. Since I had to do a hardreset, I now have to re-synchronize all my media back on my phone. Now here's the issue I'm having:

Zune won't synchronise some of the videos I previously had on my device. It keeps telling me that it couldn't convert them (error code C00D1192). Now I ask myself why it cannot convert them anymore even though it worked before without any problems. I seriously doubt it's an sd card issue.

Does anybody have an idea?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Why do you doubt it's an SD card issue, when the only thing that's changed since you last synced your videos is that you've changed SD cards?

Try swapping back to the 8GB card and see if the video sync works again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I doubt that because synchronising all the music files and pictures worked fine. And the issue doesn't appear with all the videos I'm trying to sync. Just with a few. So if it's sd card related, I assume it would at least happen to some other media files as well.

Before I swap the cards again, which means I will have to completely start over setting up the phone, downloading all apps and sync again, I'd decided to come here for help. ;)

There is another way to change the bootanimation already, but you have to use your PC and you must have xRecovery. I made this script so you need only your phone!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Is there any way to get the stock news/weather app/widget on the MT4G's stock sense? You know, the stock android one that has top stories and weather? I can't use the cute flip clock widget for weather anymore - it looks cool, but I like to have a more detailed weather report than just high/low temp. The stock weather has more info and a great UI, plus I'd like to save screen space and use it for my news also.

Anyway, any way to get it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Those widgets are built on the sense framework. You must be using a ROM that is Sense based to get it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
I know - I am on Sense, well on "mysense" aka TMO Sense at least. I have the Sense news and weather widgets, but I want the Stock one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I'm running a ROM with stock Sense, but I can't figure out which widget you're missing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepyfu:
I believe you are talking about the genie widget, its the google news/weather app. I have it on my stock t-mo rom, pulled it from cm6 and just installed it like any other app.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
@TeeJay: sorry I missed your post, but yes I'm talking about the one that sleepyfu is talking about.

So you can just install it like a regular app? Lol I don't know why I thought that couldn't be done...I'll try to find the apk, thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Lol, hilarity ensues. Do you just like start a new account every few days? Thanks for the helpful post.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKorbenDallas:
Er... The OP asked if it is possible to get stock Android widgets on a phone using Sense ROM. Most answers seem to focus on the completely opposite issue: "You can't run Sense widgets under stock Android ROM". Why? Does anyone actually read the questions these days?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I

Yes we read. even someone with a Sense ROM said "I don't know what widget you are talking about".... so it must be something different that what Sense has....

i wish we were all perfect like you.

And yes you can run AOSP .apk's on Sense's framework.

To the OP here it is; if you are talking about the one in my attached picture....you can download it from here.

http://db.tt/RTZ8I3G

Just download the apk, install it and pick the widget
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepyfu:

I have Fancy Widget version 1.3 that I believe they pulled because it looked too much like HTC sense flip clock and weather widget...it's flippin' identical (pun intended). Look for Fancy Widget version 1.3 apk and that will get your clock and weather widget...when you click on the weather it brings up a 4 day forecast and gives you the option to bring your browser to your favorite weather website...wouldn't leave home without it!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Thank you! That's exactly what I'm talking about.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] mcord11758:
Well I have been playing with this for a while, and have decided to open a thread so that those who are using it can make suggestions and so I can stop cluttering other threads with post. This started off as just some fun, it is based on 2 different themes, Android 3.0 and Mambo's theme (I forget the name at the moment). I held off on making a thread till I had made enough changes that I am comfortable saying it is my own. This is very much a work in progress, and I am picking up this theme thing as I go allong. To those this may be of interest, enjoy.

To apply download mtz. Go to theme manager, hit menu, import, navigate to hy5.mtz, select, apply.

HY 5.8 if you like the lighter look I will leave old version up

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ozone777:
Looks like the first one you put up (the one without the extention) was actually 5.4.

When I went into Theme Manager after downloading it I saw that the thumbnail was titled "5.4". I thought that maybe it was just a typo and installed anyway.

I just installed the newer one (with the extention) and all is working now.

Awesome theme for an awesome ROM. They just need to fix the black on black text on some of the popups.

Good work.

Not sure if this is the theme or the ROM, but I've noticed in the browser when you view the multiple windows that are open, the list is black on black, making it impossible to read.

Keep up the good work! Donation on the way when the final version is released for sure.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mcord11758:
