I'd say as a new comer you'll be plenty happy without root for a long while....and it should give you the ideal chance to learn the O/S and whats involved without any chance of doing any permanent damage to your phone.....

Enjoy...its a lovely device!
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
first of all welcome to the forums :D

as ben said if you are a new user you will be able to enjoy your phone without rooting for a long time & also get to know more about the OS

& also there is a certain risk involved while rooting & flashing new roms & radios so don't do it until you completely know what you are doing

you can read along in the net to get more info about the platform & all other things

here are a few pages explaining the rooting buisness

i love the experience till now just few things bugging me ... coming from BB 9700 (which i still use) the battery life is very low (in comparison) so i am adapting myself to charge it every day and a half.

The default sms application randomly crashes on me so i have to use this another app i got from market place called Handcent SMS

Also i applied for swype beta and installed it but it does not seems to work across the board, it started working in few applications but not all, maybe swype is making the default sms application crash?
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Battery usage is about right. Try playing with how often things update and turn off data when you don't need it.

Handcent is better anyway!

Hence 'beta'. Doesn't mean it'll always work. :)
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
A day & a half from a modern smartphone is ok, I was getting a lot less when I first got DS - well, new phone, you're gonna play around with it some, no?!

Enjoy what market place has to offer & I would say don't get too sucked into rooting unless if course you have experience of flashing custom roms on other phones & someone nearby has use of xtc clip! Think it'll be a little while yet before software rooting is available for us DS users, and a while more before it becomes stable/reliable.

Peace, & enjoy
[HTC Desire S] anndrenaline:
have u encountered any problems with the phone thus far?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
No problems at all so far. All native apps run smoothly, very smoothly actually.

Installed "Lookout" from Marketplace for security reasons, and installed then uninstalled an app-killer after reading that these actually cause more trouble than they're worth ;)

That's all really apart from the occasional reboot - manual, not forced - which I think is a personal hang-up coming from blackberry!

Peace
[HTC Desire S] fostirop:
Hi :)

Been using this phone for a month now, coming from iPhone.

Truth be told, what is writen above about rooting is right. I have gone down this road and although it is fun to be able to customize almost every aspect of your phone, it needs a lot of time and involvement to get it right, not to mention the risk of damaging something.

So, I would agree in taking as must time as you can to enjoy it as it is, get to learn the OS before you tamper with it. Different mods / roms will always be here when you are ready to "play" ;)

Have fun!!
[HTC Desire S] baqai:
I have a S-OFF device ... atleast the first line when i go into hboot says "SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL"

errr so does this means i can do this root stuff if i want to?
[HTC Desire S] tankos:
Congratulations! You're one of the lucky few to have an S-OFF DS out of the box!

You can now root your DS. If you're wanting to go down the road of rooting take a look in the Android Development Section on XDA. The Gingerbreak method worked for me for gaining root access. There are risks involved with rooting so make sure you read around plenty first. If you follow the instructions carefully you shouldn't have too many problems!

Happy Rooting! :)
[HTC Desire S] baqai:
I am surprised as well I guess yeah I am lucky will read more on rooting to find what can I gain
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Buddy I wud say atleasy for a week or two enjoy your stock and get a feel of desire s...

Once done you can go for rooting and flashing custom roms...

Well wat can rooting give you...

absolute power to customise your cell as you want...

if you ever used a linux os wat a root login allows you to do...;)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Also for an android...if you dont root and customise...

Den its like having a Ferrari but driving at 60 km/hr speed...:P :P :P

Hope now you understand its significance...

I used this method below to force the device into downloading mode

then I flashed the Odin package below

Then I ran the update.zip file due the above Odin package not flashing the radio. You can find the update.zip file in the above thread.

Hope this helps.

Just remember tho that if you flashed the full RUU of the MR2 leak then you lost root, so hopefully you had just flashed the updated radio.

[General Questions and Answers] scumbox:
Hi

Just dropped by to ask some guestions bcs seems there are some knowledgement here:) I wish u understand my Engrish.

I bought a week ago SGS2. And bcs default is always default I begun to customize the outlook, like we all.

My first problem mostlikely is a hw problem bcs one of the dot missing on the clock on upper right corner. I mean it is now 07.30 not 07:30. Not big deal anyway. But then I saw also slight flickering of the icons on the bar. The rest of the screen is ok. On/off didnt help nor reseting the phone to its factory defaults.

Another problem is the wallpaper which seems to zoom automatically after cropping it in the menu. I tried both options but both of them do the same scaling. Im using ADW Launcher. The same problem was with Go Launcher and with EX version.

Third problem is dead buttons. At least email and Maps dont work. I thought I have done that icon customizing somehow wrong but they dont work also on TW launcher.

Should I RMA this piece or.... ?

I appreciate it if u could post ur toughts to my email bcs it's easier to get possible replies. Thanks in advance.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jazux:
Hi all, im reeally tired of this... damn amazon mailed me a transformer with wrong adapter... now i tried charging my TF with my ipod charger (the adapter) and it didnt show any progress on battery icon, and when i finally arrived home after spending week in a middle of forest i plugged my TF to computer and that damn thing wont charge! it has been on 1% for an HOUR! what the heck should i do?

i plugged TF to my win xp computer and it booted but then it says "1% battery left, plug the charger in" (or at least something like that ;)) now i have beeen waiting to play with my brand new TF but im kind of pissed off :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AnyMal:
The reason none of the charging methods you tried worked because TF requires USB 3.0 source. So, unless you get a hold of another TF charger you will be SOL.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jazux:
but... i have only Imac and xp :( no usb 3.0 ports... DAMN AMAZON!!!!!!! i dont have any other option except die with uncharged TF :( :(

just to confirm: is there *ANY* other way to charge it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dnts:
What do you mean by wrong charger? is it a US plug or the wrong european plug? can't you get any adapter or even hack something? like take an AC splitter and enlarge the holes so the prongs from the adapter fit in? wrap with some duct tape and there you go...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
there' s a thread in the accessories subforum called "DIY TF101 charger and other charging methods". check it out. although you should just RMA the TF.

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jazux:
i think its UK plug... its like that and i need one of these i cant get another adapter for now :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jazux:
update: i see that it slooooooooooooooooooowly charges my tablet with usb 2.0! it has been plugged in for 1 and a half hour and there is 3% now :) but still it doesnt show its charging...

btw could this damage my device?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ttav:
It won`t damage your device but it will take ages to charge.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jazux:
well its better than nothing :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
Dude calm down. Amazon has on of the best customer services you'll find anywhere. Just call them email or get on a live chat with a rep and they'll get you situated asap
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
How is this amazons fault exactly? The TF hasnt been released in Finland, so you obviously ordered from the UK amazon site, which will also obviously not ship with a Euro plug. It's a simple case of buying an adapter.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PatrikSelin:
In Finnish, sorry English speaking humans...

Tietokoneesta tuleva virta ei riitä, joten tarvitset ladata seinästä. Amazon ei lähettänyt väärää laturia, tosin on todella typerää että muutamalla EU-maalla on oma malli. Itselläni tuli yllätys "mitä ihmettä, täähän lataa hitaasti!"

Get just UK -> EU adapter. Why The British must have their own AC plug!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
lol, if this is the case, then i agree. you obviously received a UK transformer. so being mad at amazon is unreasonable.

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jazux:
juu... tajusin kyllä sen mutta mietin vaan että miksi helvetissä lähettää jollain UK:n adapterilla :rolleyes:...

in english:

yeah, i figured that out but i just tought why the heck amazon sends it with UK plug and not an EU plug...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PatrikSelin:
If you buy a car in Great Britain, so they don't switching the steering wheel to the left side. If you buy the Transformer UK version, so you get the UK version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
just get a UK to EU adapter...they're everywhere...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelossssss:
Hello everyone. After almost 2 years of having HTC HD2 it's time to move on to something newer.

I'm between Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 and HTC Sensation.

Both have their goods and theirs bads. Till today i owned 3 different HTCs and i'm more than satisfied. So i'm thinking for sensation.

BUT...! Samsung has a faaaaaaaaaaar better screen, more ram, more internal storage and better front camera.

Sensation in the other hand has New SENSE 3.0, better outer body (aluminium), HDMI and better screen resolution.

The thing i want to ask the developers is: Is there any possibility to port stably the sense 2.1 or even better sense 3.0 to samsung?

If it is, i'm off to buy the Samsung. If not i'll be with sensation for the next 2 years at least.

Thanks everyone!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Who knows? It might be possible, but I doubt it will be perfect or stable for some time (if ever even attempted)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
+1 I actually prefer touchwiz. I find sense to be too invasive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
If I chose sense it wouldnt b the new one. Im a fan of nonsense :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
It is possible if the sgs has one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wam7:
The fact that Sense never appeared for the SGS would indicate that it is unlikely to appear for the SGS2.

I had the same choice as you but opted for the SGS2. When it came down to it I actually only really wanted Sense 3.0 for the weather animations. ;) Which was not enough to overcome the points you mentioned which effect me much me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
they actually have everything running on the nexus s and sgs1 except for the camera and bluetooth i believe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quad2012:
I was like you but HTC has changed from business class to cheap mass ware, they throw phone after phone on the market and never support one longer than some months (bought the desire and was all happy but then Desire x, Desire Y and Desire xaasdfasd lol, so many phones in such a short period tells enough about the quality and I still prefer quality over quantity), I wouldnt go for HTC anymore they just changed too much, while Samsung most likely wont let the S2 down for at least a year until S3 arrives...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelossssss:
Great! Now i'm more confused! haha :D

OK i'll wait for the live demonstration next week to check the sensation. I have already seen the samsung. Then i'll see.

My galaxy S2 and my samsung captivate gets 4 bars sitting on the edge of my end table close to a set of sliding glass doors, My girls samsung infuse also gets 4 bars in the same spot, My iphone 4 got 3 to 4 bars as well, My htc inspire gets 1 bar and sometimes 2, wifi signal is weaker, GPS is weaker, as well as bluetooth. Why? my guess is the metal chassis. Metal degrades signal. some metals are better then others, but all are worst then plastic. Just my opinion, ive has 25 phones or more since 1998, some metal, most plastic, but the metal always got lowest signal. Just what I found on my devices, i could be wrong

Can I use the newly released MR2 radio with BAMF Remix 1.6.3?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SQFreak:
No, not yet. The ROM would need to be based on the MR2 Froyo software leak, which BAMF Remix 1.x isn't. GB-based BAMF builds require the MR2 radio, however.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
So...is it safe to now use BAMF GB now that the MR2 is out?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
Nothing is ever 100% safe, Use at your own risk. That's why devs put disclaimers in their rom threads.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AltoDroid:
I bought the Nook a couple of days ago and it has the blue dot on the box which means it's a 1.2 version. Anyway, I did a back up and saved it to my SD card. I assume the back up is in the folder called "clockworkmod" because it has a subfolder named "backup" with the following files:

boot

cache

data

nandroid.md5

system

With that said, I no longer want this tablet. I guess I wanted a tablet but I found the experience wasn't what I expected. So, I would like to go back to stock, just the way I had it when I removed the Nook from the box. However, most of the guides around here and elsewhere talk about returning a Nook to a version other than 1.2.

Let me also mention that I'm not sure if I actually "rooted" my Nook because I never used ManualRooter. I put in CWM, CM7, and Gapps following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227

[Droid X Themes and Apps] only1battman:
Do you mean like HTC SENSE?? The DROIDX doesn't have "sense" it has the Motorola blur overlay. Someone would have to build a theme for the X that made it look like HTC SENSE
[Droid X Themes and Apps] smyers1012:
Well we know its not possible to build a ROM for it because of its locked bootloader, and there is a theme, it's just really not very good....If you want to make ur phone look like HTC Sense then do the following...

-Get an old version of fancy widget off 4shared.com

-Download HeLauncher and use the HTC Sense Homescreen

-For Lockscreen, download Lockbot or WidgetLocker and use HTC Sense Lock

-For Wallpapers I'm sure you can get on the market.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] javroch:
You can actually build ROMs for it no problem (look at CM7 now), the problem would be that HTC obviously doesn't release the source code for Sense, etc. So there's no possible way of going that route. A long time ago I remember seeing a pretty good Sense theme for Droid X, but I'm not sure if it's still being maintained anymore. I'll see if I can find a link
[Droid X Themes and Apps] infazzdar:
Actually, I do believe that the Sense User Interface is open-source. So all it would take is a good developer to build and port Sense for the Droid X.
