[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangegoat:
oh well

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a different ROM, which I'm pretty sure is based on a different kernel (latest Serendipity) but I get the the same behavior (and in my defense, it's really several seconds, which feels like a week when you're staring at the screen).

I guess for now I'll just live with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangegoat:
solved

I finally figured this out. Totally random: it was the SIM card. It was old, and it crapped out entirely yesterday so I got a new one (a couple of times over the last month I'd get 'No Service' and have to reboot -- guess that was a warning).

With the new SIM, Contacts opens in a snap. Note that I never kept any actual contacts on the old SIM, but maybe the phone checks the SIM for contacts anyway, and wasn't getting the right response... so the lag I saw could have a time-out after waiting for the SIM.

Anyway, I'm happy now. The whole experienced got me to try a few other ROMs, too. Firefly is pretty slick.

To get the best and most accurate performance,

plz shrink the size of the flash~!

Plz report and see which rom performs better~!!!

Hello,

I'll have a problem with my Android Market, i downloaded a rom (made with Romkitchen) and everything works great, except de Android Market.

I can download anything, but with the original v10b he works well.

He does that with any rom from Romkitchen

Somebody a suggestion?
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
Your date and time are probably wrong. if that doesnt fix it delete market cache and reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] De1v3c1o:
Doesn't work.
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
Did u do a full wipe before flashing the rom?
[LG Optimus 2x] x72GYx:
Try clearing Dalvik Cache in CWM (you probably already did that) - or if nothing else works, download the Market 2.3.4 apk from here, copy to SDcard, install. That might work.
[LG Optimus 2x] De1v3c1o:
Yes i did that , but the last option, is a option :) I'll tried that.

[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
whatever guys...im showing you a big innnovation for apple, them getting a way of flash, something that us android guys have had over them for a while...all i said is i think its cool, a little late but cool, but its still not better than android because if i read correctly it has to reroute the videos into a format i devices can read...some of you need to relax and open a notch on your belt,real talk

and btw how is this not related to us? We have had flash for a while and has been a main selling point on commercials! if you listen to advertisements you can hear it yourself, some of you really need to calm down

i do take humor as a joke though i have no problem with that but when you come in like your the cream of the crop, for real shut your mouth
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I come here to read about the evo and android, not what's going on with the iphone.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
You are missing the point everyone is trying to make. You are clogging the general section with garbage that really has nothing to do with the evo. There is an off topic section that is accessible from the main forum (I believe that's where it is). I think your threads would be more appropriate there.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
+1 all you do is link us to phandroid or engadget or some other android/tech blog. Some of us already frequent these sites and see this information and the rest of us don't go to those sites for a reason.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
well said !
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Innovation?? More like a need. Apple decided to take off flash favoring HTML5, unfortunately a very significant amount of websites still use flash and there is no incentive to make the switch to the new format. I guess Jobs got pissed that he could not access many websites that were flash enabled and decided that it was needed to put it back. There no innovation on this.

It is not related to us. See above.

You usually post useful articles, this was just not one of them. In fact it was a bad choice.

I won't agree on this. As stated by myself and others: we see these already. If they are not "HTC Evo 4g" related they do not belong here. Even if they are related they are not necessary.

your not funny, and white was not a selling point of the evo against its competitors, ill say it once more and then thats it, the android phones have had flash, its been used as a selling point and now the competition is started to adapt it too. this can hurt sales or should i say decline sales of phones such as the evo bc SOME not all people didnt buy an iphone bc it doesnt have flash

[EVO 4G General] Mylenthes:
I'm not in any way an android fanboy and I do not hate apple or its products. But how much you want to bet apple is going to make it seem like flash on a phone is so new and never done before (video chat, hd recording, they do it with everything for heavens sakes.) Its pretty funny how everyone beleives what they see. People thought facetime was never done and that hd recording on a phone was crazy. Or atleast my cousins family did.

[HTC Desire S] shanz:
I received mine yesterday and after playing about with it I'm really liking it. I told T-mobile I wasn't too sure about the phone as I know that there will be bigger phones coming out soon so they will phone back Monday to see if I want to send it back.

From a female point of view, the phone is the perfect size to carry around in my hand bag, I have had the hero since Dec 09 and it was the first phone that i rooted and I didn't lose interest in it throughout the time I had it as there were so many roms to flash.

I know this phone will get rooted once the s-off thing is sorted so will be able to flash roms onto it, I'm not a massive gamer so I guess phones like sensation will be a waste on me and the wi'fi issue on the ds isn't too big as i don't tend to use it landscape unless playing a game.

So far the desire s is really smooth, i'm enjoying able to use so many functions which I wasn't able to use on the gingerbread roms for hero.

So are you happy that you chose the desire S?

@shanz, dual cores are not only for gaming

they are considerably faster, you have hdmi out capability better battery life

anyway the price is coming down slowly, i saw it today for 400E

[HTC Desire S] norocel:
I come from nexus one,wich again a very very good device! Hard for me to leave it away.Now about desire s:

1. Super quality of build,the aluminium feel and beint well compressed by size just makes it perfect.

2. Was amazed about screen quality,did not expected that at all!

3. Video call camera good quality! Beats my brothers galaxy S video call camera!

The downsides are few,first being that i allways have a luck on taking faulty phones,my volume locker up is very sensitive,small presure activates it,and the button clicks normal.

Other than that is sense ui wich i like it in some ways,but cyanogen is snapier and i really wait for that root and custom recovery!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
My first Android phone. coming from WM6.5 (custom Roms)

I don't know maybe in your location the phones are with that wifi problem,mine has no such problem,covered it all in my palm all i could lose was 1 lin in wifi and sometimes even nothing on 3g.It's weird about that problem,yet i have none regarding that.
[HTC Desire S] mehfew:
I got mine last Friday as a replacement for the original Desire. Love it so far, the size, the design it's really all very nice. Definitely feels faster and smoother than the previous Desire. Loving the gig of space for apps over the measily hundred something megs that the original Desire had.

I do notice the wifi drop out when held in landscape, so for those that do a lot of browsing over wifi this might be a show stopper.

Only other thing is that even though I know it uses a gorilla glass, I can't help but feel naked without a screen protector on it.
[HTC Desire S] igalan:
I got mine last Friday to replace my Nexus One. I've been using the Desire S exclusively since then and I like it, I don't have any issues with WiFi or anything else. I have to admit that the screen is usually better (damn Pentile matrix), except at night or under direct sunlight.

I don't like the Micro USB on the left side, when it's plugged the cable gets in the way or twists in strange positions. I don't like that it doesn't have a trackball, even an optical one. However it does have a notification LED, unlike many other smartphones out there (Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy S, LG Optimus 2X, etc.) The touchpad sensor seems to work fine (whoo! :) ), all common gestures work, including rotation in Google Maps. Opening the battery cover is a pain, maybe I just don't get it, but it took me a while just to plug my SIM card.

Not a huge improvement, but it works better on some of the areas where I had most trouble (internal storage was the main problem for me).
[HTC Desire S] dohnjoe:
I love the speed, size, build quality and battery life

[HTC Desire S] ninjakettle:
Got it for the missus as a birthday present today. I have the original desire.

First impressions are good, though pulling down the notifications window was somehow not as easy on the dS. Kept missing it. And then when you do pull it down, the settings Tab that HTC has added is a little awkward to switch to succesfully without rolling up the notifications window. Could just be practice.

Can i ask - is it possible to install a different launcher on a HTC sense phone? (i rooted my desire s to an AOSP rom, so never tried this)

I'd like to put laucherpro or Zeam on there for her as they feel snappier and the docks are a huge improvement.
[HTC Desire S] igalan:
You can install any launcher you want, there is no need to root it. I have ADW.Launched (and not rooted). But you'll loose the ability to have the HTC Widgets (if you care about them).

Just got my desire S today, upgraded from HTC legend. I'm blown away by the built and quality of the handset's construction. Only had it for a couple of hours, performance is great. No problem with WiFi so far, I had it connected to WPA2 secured WiFi-G. Love the new sense 3 UI, shortcuts to enable/disable WiFi/bluetooth..etc

The handset was also S-ON, can't wait for a new exploit to root it and even S-OFF the better. Hoping to install miui once custom rom is possible.
[HTC Desire S] thephm:
Got a replacement for my original last night.

The old one had a badly fitting screen and a creaking battery cover. New one doesn't have either of these.

The wifi "Issue" is something of a problem to me and my only real disappointment now... If I'm downstairs (signal is already significantly weekend by going down there) and I have the phone in landscape mode or cover the top back of the phone where the antenna is the signal attenuates to the point I loose the signal. Compared to my old iPhone 3G which doesn't even loose a bar of signal strength going down stairs let alone what position I hold it in.

I am still very happy with my Desire. S... Never had a reboot or any issues... not even with WiFi... Maybe due to the fact that I recently upgraded to VDSL in my home and got the latest AVM Fritzbox router along with it...however...together with the silver Barely There Casemate the DS looks just soo neat, is perfectly protected and easy to carry around. I used to play around a lot with my old HD2 and just got to really like and enjoy Android OS... and invested in some excellent apps... Sense just doesn't crack it in my opinion... I am a happy GO Launcher user with all it's awesome extensions, SwiftKey keyboard (amazing how well it predicts), the Pure Messenger Widget to pick up Facebook and Twitter and the Enhanced Email app. The machine is now just an excellent little piece of productiveness... the way I want it to look/behave!

Don't care so much anymore about flashing custom ROMs as I spent far too much time doing so :-)

I would love to see CrawlingCity's Ultimate Droid on my Desire S.... Android can't get any better than the UD 3.0 on my beloved HD2!!!

About battery life... since I deactivated the software update under settings - telephone I noticed a huge improvement... Also, ensure that you either have Facebook/Twitter for Sense syncing or the actual Apps... Otherwise you are syncing double. As I don't use Sense at all I have those accounts set to manual sync...
[HTC Desire S] scotty7910:
