[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You basically perform most of the steps to perform a factory reset, but not the last...

1. Power Off Phone.

2. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.

3. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER

button.

4. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release

the VOLUME DOWN button.

Now the top line of the screen should....say something like....

SAGA PVT SHIP and either S-ON or S-OFF

To get out of this screen:

1. hit the Power button

2. then the VOLUME DOWN to select REBOOT

3. then hit the POWER button

Once you have a S-OFF phone then getting root should be easy.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
thnx bro. Sadly, my phone is S-On :( Is there any way to root S-On Or change it to S-Off?? Also, wats XTC Clip?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
read the forum

root + s-on = NO

simply try google for xtc clip...(its a hardware device that changes HTC phones from S-On to S-OFF)

Well dunno what you mean with the bumping statement, but I figd the procedure would be same across HTC devices.. Anyways.. At least my response got a helpful response from you :-p
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
I can see you intention was good, but unfortunately the rooting process varies slightly between devices, this comes down to the bootloader, android version, and HTC build version, each have different parts which can be exploited in order to create a loop hole in order to abuse.

The problem is, all it takes is one person to not read your post completely, follow that guide, then when something goes wrong they're coming back and posting "HULP FONE NO BOOT WUT DO NOW?!111" on the dev board. :-p
[HTC Desire S] schizovivek:
Hahahaha.. Got your point.. I've seen such responses when I was reading posts related to s2 rooting.. Luckily for me rooting was a breeze.. I will try your suggestions once my friend gets the desire s.. So tell me.. Your ds was s-off or s-on? If on was there any particular thread that was the most helpful

Edit: ok... read the how to s-off guide.. man its painful :P
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
When I got my HTC Desire S I was lucky to have the Telstra pre-installed ROM, S-ON, no root etc. The bootloader was the first one .. (can't think of the version sorry), which at least made the process a breeze.

But literally I took the phone out of the box (brand new haha), turned it on, rooted it, installed recovery, and installed a custom ROM.

I did complete the process using a Live USB Ubuntu, I highly recommend doing it this way, as you won't experience any issues with drives etc. It does take away a lot of the hassle you see in a lot of the threads with phones not being recognised, and what-not.
[HTC Desire S] schizovivek:
oh ok.. will give it a go.. cant believe am puttin so much efforts to rooting sum1 elses phone especially wen they dont want it :D ... would it be fine if i PM'd u in a week or two's time in case i face any issues? or ill just post here if u have subscribed to this post
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Sure, not a problem. If your able to find out the Bootloader version, ROM version etc. it would help a lot as we can at least advise you as to what you need to do in order to complete a hassle free process ;-).

Bootloader - hold volume down button, then press power on (when the phone is switched off (make sure fast boot is disabled))

ROM version - Settings > About Phone > Software Information
[HTC Desire S] schizovivek:
will do :) .. thnks for the prompt replies

I have stock ROM and I use Roadsync for exchange mail.

Battery on my X8 can't last for a day with no much use.

is it possible it's because of exchange?

what would be a solution?

to set it to sync every 5 or 10 minutes instead of push?

And I have gmail set to sync with gmail app. does that drain battery a lot to?

i was just wondering which launcher has the lowest memory use or how would i go about finding that for myself. im currently using go launcher ex, but have used launcher pro plus and the latest sense from a custom rom . does each custom rom have different use of launchers in terms of memory.

Just got just Nexus S 4G today, and have experienced during all calls a staticy buzzing sound when the person in the other end is speaking. The best way to explain it is , it sounds as if there is gain on their voices are the louder points.

I so don't want to exchange, but curious if any One else has seen this.. or heard this.

I'm on the European Version of the Nexus S - I9023 and I'm getting that too... I want to think that it's not the phone itself but I don't know... This buzzing only happens if the volume is over 50% and sometimes even at lower volume levels...

Does anybody know what this might be? Is it a software issue where, for example, the pitch on the calls is to loud and maybe te Voodoo sound would fix it, or is it definitely a hardware issue?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamikaze666:
I spoke today with a guy that fixes phones for a living and he told me that the issue is the filter from the earpiece. The phone might've suffered a bump at the store when the people there handled it and that messed with the filter. He said that I can take it to the Samsung service to get it fixed or I can leave it like this... He said it doesn't get worst in time if the issue doesn't get resolved...

Hi there,

Is the charger for the i9100 the same as the i9000? I have a i9000 charger lying around in work that might suffice as a back up charger.

Hi,

It is good to be back on android, I was quite follower of it when I had hero, then came iPhone 4, now with one day of galaxy s 2--- I am admiring the handset & user interface as well( admiring both is quite rare in android world )

So back to question: Did any of you helpful people know what is this data encryption, when I used native samsung email client for my work email, it kinda asked me wheather I wanted to encrypt the internal memory, without looking much i just selected yes, but now when i wanted to find where these settings are, they are nowhere to be found, any ideas what this is about, i am kinda confused in here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratner:
Can't find the promised encryption

I found that initramfs has quite a lot of code related to filesystem encryption of data usb and sdcard. I can't find where to enable it. Anyone knows anything about this? All product marketing PDFs talk about "Business Experience" that supposedly includes "H/W encryption".

Hi all

Being a student, and thus a professional procrastinator, i have spent hours and hours and days and days reading forums, flashing things, getting freaked out because i think i've bricked my phone, etc etc...

I think i've hit the motherload re ROMS. The reason why i'm posting this is because it took me over a month of browsing forums in my spare time to find it... DebusROM.

Battery life is amazing - to the point of being irritating if you're TRYING to drain your battery flat for batterystats.bin reset reasons.

Performance is really great too.

I've flashed from Darky 9.5 (awesome, a tad buggy) to Darky v10 RC 5 (not final) (also awesome, a tad more buggy). As amazed as i was when i first experienced a custom ROM's improvement - thats how amazed i am at DebusROM. Fast, best battery life i've ever experienced, and BUG-FREE!

I had a random reboot issue when i first flashed, which made me cautious, however the DebusROM thread supplies a patch which fixes this issue.

Very happy. Hoping to spread the good news, and help DebusROM become as mainstream as Darky or CyanogeMod...

I'd digg to hear what others have experienced using this ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] agnivo007:
Anything on cards for i9003?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonalexgalaxy:
Ask the DebusROM devs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
In my case, battery issue was more related to calibration and kernel than the roms. I can hold 2 to 3 days on a standard (OEM) rom (running JVH now). Only the first "drain" is "quicker", but you HAVE TO totally drain the battery and charge it to 100%, then it's all good!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonalexgalaxy:
sidenote: it sounds like (from this great article) that calibration doesn't actually affect battery life, just the correctness of the battery indicator.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrGreencastle:
What are your thoughts on an OEM rom like JVH versus something like CyanogenMod7? I'm curious, as I am also on Bell with an i9000m and had nothing but difficulty with getting a JVH rom to install properly so that I could test it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dbraaker:
imho cm7 is not worth the efford yet, theres no benefit over a good customized samsung rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Well, I've used darky's 9.X before GingerBread was out "officially", but I haven't tried CM7 since I don't feel the need to. JVH is faster than Darky's with LagFixes, so it's not "worth" it IMHO

As for issue with switching to JVH, it can be done pretty easely, if your modem is already "fixed" to use any modem others than JL2/KC1 or you'll need to flash a 850Hz compatible modem after you flash JVH (both way are quite simple, but I prefer to have the modem that came with the rom) with ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Of course it woun't affect battery life, by definition, calibration means "putting the right borders"

Calibrating a sensor won't affect how the monitored system works, only states the REAL Min and Max value
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rudeboy150:
I'm afraid you are very wrong there are huge improvements in cm7 that you won't find in custom Sammy roms

I'm nowhere near a cm fan boy but i've tried loads of customs and this runs the best battery life could be better but performance can not be beat i didn't wanna rant but I think you are very misinformed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonalexgalaxy:
whats the diference between custom samsung roms and cm7? is darky's a custom sammy rom? what about debusROM? what is?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] neverborn:
CM7 is vanilla android - you won't get a whiff of anything Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rudeboy150:
I was with darkys roms as my daily till I switched to cm7 now the difference is as follows

Darky

Based on factory Sammy roms with some custom code/tweaks

Meaning darky gets 2.2 Sammy rom opens it up cleans it up a bit fiddles here and there and boom one darkys rom

CM7

Is ASOP meaning it is the android untouched by a company i.e SAMMY, HTC etc etc its what you get with a pure Google phone like the G1 for instance

So it has all the stuff you got from Google so ext4 file system as default all the gingerbread bells and whisle like overscroll and what not

It is still customed but there is more coding because things have to be built to work with our beloved sgs hardware as the phone was designed to run Sammy drivers

Hope that was clear enuf and I was accurate its just what I believe is correct if I am wrong someone people educate me

:-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jelle2503:
isn't CM7 still a bit buggy?

Aren't MIUI and CM7 built from scratch?

Tried CM but was depressed by it.

Also had this story, exact same situation. Even got pissed of new GB rom that battery drain was so slow (wanted to reset stats)

Was on 9.5 darky, flashed to RC3. All good, but disappoint compared to proper GB rom.

I'm using Simply Honey now, it's basically thesame to Debusrom, as with Juwe. Looking to try Simply Honey 3.4 or Juwe 4.2 or new Debus, which are all equally awesomeness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] abcba:
cm7 is reli disappointing. the battery drain is crazy. otherwise will reli stick to it.

now on darky's rc6 and was on rc3 be4 trying miui and cm7.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
The battery situation is much improved. Most of us now manage a day+ of normal use. If that was the only thing keeping you on the Samsung ROMs, try out the easy new install procedure and see cm7 for yourself again.

I'm with you.

DebusRom is fast, stable, and with an excellent battery life. absolutely brilliant.

It's got the performance of gingerbread, no bugs, excellent battery life and it's compatible with damian gto overclock kernel (Available in his website, beta 2.2_1)

Thumbs up for debusrom! Try it and get awesome :P every game works, and glbenchmark with fullscreen msaa (Antialiasing) goes flawlessly 35+ fps.

just brilliant. I was always with darkys (An excellent rom too) but... battery is battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonalexgalaxy:
i'm sceptical of DamianGTO.. i flashed that exact kernel last night.. see my post (last post of the thread)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aldonski:
They are buillt from scratch and a lot of coding is involved. These sammy custom roms are fairly easy to make , you don't need to know how to code or anything.. just repacks and auto scripts. All samsung roms lag, all have ram management problems...whatever you do

And please don't tell me to try darky s or whoever s rom because I ve tried them. A heavy user will make any sammy custom rom lag. And a lot... any tweaks any partitions.... it's the framework! which is ****...

Hi Guys,

I've just put the Avatar movie on my phone following This Guide.

And the results are spectacular, while following the guide in step 16 be sure to choose 720 to keep the DVD resolution and use the 2000kb bit rate options and in step 19 be sure to choose the 2 Pass Encoding option - these are important to ensure the quality. Avatar as an Example looked HD quality with this process.

All in all expect the whole process to take between 2-3 hours for an average length DVD.

**Optional for large files if having problems syncing with Zune**

Avatar being quite a long film though the file size was over 2.5GB and im not sure why but i experienced problems Syncing this sized file with Zune so i had to split it into 2 smaller files using this tool

I'm sorry the Website for 'Super' is terribly designed and the download link was quite hard to find after long pages of text. (i tried linking direct to the download but it doesn't work) Anyway, here's where to find the download link - its worth it!

Scroll to the bottom of the first page and click the link that says 'Start Downloading SUPER ©'

On next page there's a link near the top in the section of red text that says 'Download and Use'

On the next page the final download link is at the bottom - 'Download SUPER © setup file'

**ignore all the other banners and large download buttons as they are for other software**

Now watch people drool as you really showcase the SAMOLED screen on the Omnia7 :)

Quick Edit - i am not responsible for the guide - i found it from a google search.

Enjoy!

So after I flash a new ROM (MIUI MGv2/RC8vC/MGv1) I always hang at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen - the first boot screen.

many issues may cause this problem for instance if framework.jar or android.policy.jar or... have some bugs , will happen like that
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moogley:
Hi,

By wipe you mean clearing the formatting system, data, cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset? I ask this because the MIUI roms are not are non-wipe and the instructions recommend you to format those places before install (which I did).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:

start the whole process again, flash back to stock froyo with froyo bootloader.

did you come to MIUI from Gingerbread ??

Well i've done the process like 10 times, nearly every single time from froyo (JPU,JS5,Ezbase 2.0) and I also went from 2.1 to 2.2 and then to MIUI. The other times I have tried coming from CM7 as CM7 works.
