[HTC Incredible S] kingofthebraves:
Hi guys,

Using a Nexus S right now and a buddy is offering me his unlocked IS. I am very tempted because of the faster processor and more memory but the locked bootloader and lack of developer support (compared to other phones) is becoming a big turn off. Value wise, the IS or even the DHD is a sure bet but again, support is key to a successful phone and it doesn't get better than google's Nexus family.

What do you think?

But I'm seeing a lot of custom roms, are they fully functional and bug free? As good as the ones on the HD forums?
[HTC Incredible S] Timbits93:
Remember, this is a phone released in March/April! Developer support will grow significantly once AlphaRevX has released the public beta for S-OFF, letting you put custom roms onto the IS.

To note, it's more of the question of whether you want to use Sense UI for the time being or be open to use other roms.

In terms of hardware, its similar - asside from the cameras, 8.0 and 1.3 Megapixels respectively.

You can't go wrong if its FREE, however its solely up to you.
[HTC Incredible S] kingofthebraves:
I need some help deciding lol

Someone's offering me a desire hd with an otterbox case and the other guy an IS. Same price and all.

Are the IS roms stable, fast and as good as the ones on the HD?

I've never been this undecided! :))
[HTC Incredible S] h.han:
I don't root my phone nor put custom rom on it, so cannot comment on rom. But between DHD and IS, I came from DHD, because of the size, screen quality, battery life, weight, no ffc, and other stuff, I sold it and bought IS which IMO is the best HTC single core phone.

Regarding rootability, I don't mind too much but I do believe time will solve all the problem, there will be always ways to make things happened.
[HTC Incredible S] Timbits93:
That.

The S-LCD in the Incredible S is probably one of the best displays i've ever seen on a mobile handset (aside from S-AMOLED displays). The viewing angles are spectacular, no wash out whatsoever unless it's a really extreme angle. AND the colours are really vivid.

Despite the DHD having a 4.3" display vs a 4.0" display, the IS beats it hands down in the display department :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
yeah i have used DHD and IS and IS beats DHD by a mile
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
Both phones are similar from a spec standpoint. I think the Incredible S feels better in the hand. Nexus S felt cheap to me. Nexus S will get updates first but once the Incredible S is rooted there will be a custom rom for any updates the Nexus S gets in the future.
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
My IS is rooted and Mike1986 Rom is 100% working and stable, never had a single force close. Speed is instant, no delays anywhere.
[HTC Incredible S] prinzhernan:
I have this same dilemma but it's the opposite. I have the Incredible S. Sigh.
[HTC Incredible S] thakur90:
My phone is very smooth w/o root.... Gingerbread...... Everything is perfect and I don't feel the need for root.... I tried both nexus s and IS personally I felt sense more productive in day to day work and more beautiful too.... My battery lasts a day easily and display is on par with super amoled.... There are some unique features of sense that I like .... Say for example... Flip to silent... Volume boost when in pocket....and volume reduce when u lift the phone.... These make the phone more useful.... Plus the build quality is better than Samsung.... Anytime... And design is unique... All these make it desirable.....
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
Your friends IS may even have an unlocked bootloader right now. I've heard the GPS chip in nexus s is crap aswell. It was a dilemma for me too as I was trying to choose between the same phones. I ultimately went for this one though and haven't regretted it at all. One thing I would have liked in theory though is the contactless payment chip as I think McDonald's offer that now :p
[HTC Incredible S] d.cortez:
i have both: Inspire 4G (US version of the Desire HD) and a factory s-off'd Bell Incredible S. i've rooted both and am using sense 3.0 roms on both. ( lights at bottom aren't working yet with Sense 3.0 on the Inc S. ) the Inc S display is better than my Inspire and it's easier to carry. also seems to be a little faster than my Inspire, but not enough to sway me away from the Inspire. the smaller screen can be an issue for some (but not me); yes (to me) .3 inches makes a difference with some things like font size in email. not a show stopper though.

bottom line: i don't think you can go wrong with either one. i use the Inc S for work and the Inspire for "play".
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
Hi Cortez,

I have Inc S for playing, including NON-succesfully obtain s-off by alpharevx ;p my work is rely on HD2, larger screen give me comfort in reading email and sms. I do like sense very much due to the keyboard layout with cursor up-dwon, right-left keys, it make not neccessary to touch text area when typing email/sms. Plain GB Rom (Nexus for example) is fast, but sense give us very good Mail Client. Easier to read/send email (even gmail) on sense mail client rather than by default gmail apps on the default ROM. I tried to put sense keyboard into plain android rom, but No Lucks. since Im not dev or rom chef. I cook rom for fun and for personal use, not for public :D Is there any GB rom based on plain (nexus) with sense keyboard and mail client (?) sense is another layer on the plain android rom and htc cook very nice and well polished.

I have not been receiving my email notifications for the last few days. Only when I refresh or go into settings and hit "sync now" do I get the notification of a new email in my gmail account. I tried clearing data, force stop, and even uninstalling updates (rolling back to 2.3.2 from 2.4.3.1) and still no go!

Anyone else have this issue? Got a fix for me? :confused:

EDIT:

I have see this issue in other forums, but I haven't found a fix. Just problems.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
do you have autosync turned on for your google account?

settings --> accounts and sync. in here make sure that google is set to autosync, otherwise, you will have to manually refresh in order to get your gmail in.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Yes I do have autosync turned on for all possible accounts including Google accounts.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
oh... thats weird.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I've kept my notification disabled for gmail. I just now enabled it and tested and it worked fine. I'll leave it on for a bit and see if that changes.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
OK, so I setup the "Mail" app on the phone to sync to my Gmail account, which worked. But the Gmail app still wouldn't sync. Then after a few hours I erased the "Mail" account/sync since it didn't fix the Gmail problem and I really dislike the "Mail" app. A few hours after that I got 6 text messages from "VZWNMN" in rapid succession that were as follows:

"5"

"66"

"5"

"7"

"1"

"1"

And now my Gmail is syncing! Weird, huh?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
well at least problem solved huh? haha.. although thats just really weird.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
It's a bug...they tried to set up a text notification with the mail app that cant be disabled while using the app...thanks Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Yeah, I really dislike the mail app and it does have this thing about trying to set up sms notifications that annoys me. Which is why I don't use it.

In any case, I left gmail notifications on and haven't had a problem with it. Maybe something just went wonky for a bit. I was gonna try suggesting disabling notifications, save it, exit app, then re-enable it, then test, but now it seems to be okay ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Yea my gmail works fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rossco_Pee:
I had sync issues every once in a while with my Eris. Usually I just cleared the data in 'gmail storage' and 'gmail' in manage applications.

Damn I have the same issue. Hope it's not the digitizer though :(.

Have you tried hitting the end button, waiting a few seconds then swiping? I don't think it's the digitizer personally. But I have the same issue, hit the end button, swipe right away, and it's a failed swipe. The second swipe always works.

I don't think it's the digitizer because if you unlock it, then lock it, then unlock it again right away, it will ALWAYS work on the first try. I think it's rom or android related.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] frsh90:
I have pretty much the same exact thoughts but I have the same issue in other roms apparently. I'm not sure if I want to replace the digitizer for such a small issue, but it is pretty annoying.

Plz help!

I am not sure which method/guide you are using but over the last few days an easier method has become available that may help you:

Nvflash unbricking released!. Even though the title mentions unbricking the instructions include installing all the rooting tools and a custom ROM.

If that is not what you need then you may want to follow this guide which includes instructions for downgrading:

[Vibrant General] edgarzin:
Hi guys!

I live in Brazil and I got a Vibrant in USA in January. The phone was ok until I update the phone to Froyo 2.2, official from t-mobile website.

After this, strange things started happening when I am at my mother house that didnt happen at 2.1 Eclair. I can't call or receive calls when I am there because of no signal, and it only happens there.

Its very strange, because I changed the sim cards from the same phone company, and still didnt work. But when i inserted them at another cell phone, they worked normally, good signal, I could call and receive calls.

Even more strange because I inserted a sim card from another mobile operator, and the phone worked. I cant imagine what is the problem for this. It started after the froyo update, so i think maybe the new firmware isnt compatible with the network at this specific area.

So I would like to know if there is a way I can return my phone to Eclair 2.1, when things were ok. Or maybe another solution.

I really appreciate your help, sorry for the bad english.

[Vibrant General] mikka06:
You can downgrade to 2.1 using Odin but could be a problem with your sim card.
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:
Could be modem. You could try and flash a new modem and see if that fixes your problem
[Vibrant General] edgarzin:
Thanks for replying guys.

Well, i asked for another sim card, and the problem remained, only at this specific neighborhood the phone is impossible to reach or make phone calls.

i don't know what is Odin, but i will look for it.

I realize that we are discussing openly the methods to root and possibly illegally obtain access to pay services, but I would expect more people to be discussing techniques and tactics for rooting 2.3.3. When I was testing smart cards, there was plenty of open discussion about memory locations to utilize, or specifically vulnerable loops... etc. What am I missing? Where is the really in depth discussions regarding acquiring root level access and the entire process? All I see is sticky'd threads about 'one click root' methods. Are there any reports of prosecution by Sprint for rooting? Any at all? PM me links please...

I have created a recovery zip for personal use which adds openvpn binary and tun.ko (tun.ko optional).

It has been tested on Modaco HR7/HR8, PRIME 1.4/1.5, with both Stock kernel and Clemsyn-Blades OC kernel.

I also found when trying to add openvpn that some of the current ROMs do not create all the busybox symlinks, so I added these as well.

Posting this 'as is', I do not have much available time to support it.

What it does:

copy openvpn binary to /system/xbin

copy tun.ko to /system/lib/modules/tun.ko (optional, if your ROM/kernel already has tun.ko then no need to replace it)

create symlinks

set permissions

How to use:

copy your openvpn configuration files to /sdcard/openvpn

download and install OpenVPN settings for honeycomb (link below, thanks Kevincod)

open OpenVPN settings

menu -> advanced

tick 'Load tun kernel module'

open 'TUN module settings'

Load module using: insmod

Path to tun module: /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

Warning: Make sure you take a nandroid backup first, whilst the tablets it was tested on work perfectly I assume no responsibility if it causes issues on your particular set up. Hence a nandroid backup allows you to roll back easily.

Thanks for this, however after flashing the openvpn+tun zip file on PRIME! v1.5 there is an annoying thing that happens. The tunnel I connect to works fine - I can see the VPN IP address when I go to myiptest.com - but the notification tray keeps popping up with the 'connected' confirmation over and over. It keeps happening until I disconnect the VPN tunnel. Is there anything that can be done about this? Is it a ROM issue or a problem with the openvpn binary file?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonitfcfan:
I've now tried this for myself and on the whole it works very well. One thing however is that the notifications tray does still get slightly 'spammed' after connecting to the tunnel, but after a few moments it does settle down and stop as I would expect it to. Good first attempt but still needs a few small tweaks to keep the notifications under control. Keep working on it, it's showing promise :).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kevincod:
Yea I just wanted to quick fix the spam after the tunnel was connected, during connection its still buggy, ill fix that when i have more time :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rotohammer:
It looks as though the connecting messages lag a bit after the tunnel is up. I noticed other notifications lag similarly, as if they get queued up.

For me it seems to last around 10 seconds, very minor. Thank you for making this mod.
