[HTC Desire S] fotislo:
This is my first post and I'm relatively new to low-level android stuff, even if I've written some java programs and I'm good with linux. So excuse me if I make any huge mistakes! :)

I live in Greece and I got the update too. I applied the first part (the small one) but not the second one since I don't want to lose s-off and root (s-offed with alpharevx).

I'm thinking of unpacking the update, removing the firmware.zip from inside and fixing the updater-script so it doesn't try to install it. Furthermore, I want to put a set_perm command to set the permissions of /system/bin/su to 04755 so I have root too.

Of course I must install some of the stuff that are inside the firmware.zip file. The files contained in the zip are:

android-info.txt

boot.img

hboot_0.98.0002_0e35ea5b_0318.img

radio.img

rcdata.img

recovery.img

tp_atmelc12_20aa.img

I don't want to change hboot or recovery, so that leaves the boot.img, radio.img, rcdata.img and tp_atmelc12_20aa.img. Which is the best way to install them? I know what's boot.img and radio.img but what are the rest? rcdata.img seems like a configuration and tp_atmelc12_20aa.img reminded me of Intel HEX and SREC.

Has anyone tried anything similar to this before?

Thanks,

Fotis
[HTC Desire S] :
you can save zip file before updating. it is located in "download" directory at the root of your SD card
[HTC Desire S] fotislo:
I have already done this, that's how I now the contents of firmware.zip. The problem is how to install everything but the new hboot and the recovery.

I'm thinking of replacing them with the hboot from alpharevx and clockworkmod. Anyone tried something like this before? I'm new to this kind of stuff and I don't want to brick my phone...
[HTC Desire S] grav86:
Cant post links yet just add 2 // after : http:revolutionary.io/ new release from alpharev and unrevoked to soff hboot 0.98.0002
[HTC Desire S] fotislo:
Have you tried this? It's still a developer preview...
[HTC Desire S] grav86:
No I'm already s-off and rooted. Loads of people in the evo 3d forum comfirmed it works tho
[HTC Desire S] fotislo:
I decided to go on with the upgrade and try to s-off again with revolutionary. However, when I tried to install the upgrade I got the android robot and an exclamation mark. I had to remove the battery to reboot and when I tried installing using clockworkmod I got an error at the assertion:

assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,

However, when I run getprop ro.cid and the command line I get HTC__N34. Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] Mesomorf:
Is there a possibility to revert (uninstall) the previous release they had for 0.98.0000? Then update the phone to 0.98.0002. And as last step use the new unlock tool at the revolutionary site.

Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] bluefoam:
I got the update this morning OTA. Etisalat UAE.

I haven't noticed any changes apart from the fact that I was offered new LinkedIn & Picasa plugins from HTCSense...

We also face the exclamation mark Problem

(status 7) in the boot screen (after pressing power + up with red exclamation mark)

History:

The DS was bought in Hongkong 3 month ago and works fine. I use an app to enable German language but no root or anything...

After pressing "search for updates" it found a smal update.

Update worked.

After the first update it found a second update. Download works, then installation begins and it will stop around 10% and go into exclamation mark screen.

What can I do?

Is the reason that the phone was bought in HK but used in Germany?
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Htc just stated, they're going to unlock bootloaders this month (check their fb page). It probably explains bootloader update.
[HTC Desire S] arti121:
What is the current software version for unbranded Desire S? Mine is 1.47.401.4 (unbranded).

I'm a bit worried because I heard about software patch rollback due to problems with TMobile branded phone. I istalled the patch and no problems so far, I'm wondering if I should have installed it at all...
[HTC Desire S] ercm03:
I've had signal problems since upgrading to 1.47.401.4.

I sometimes get no service at all and trying to manually re-slect my provider gives an error. I also have a problem that I can make outgoing calls but incoming calls always go straight to voicemail.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190347 or have a google around.

At the moment I'm running in GSM only with sync disabled to see how stable that is.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
No thanks from me, as it means losing the warranty
[HTC Desire S] det66:
But if phone is s-off and rooted the warranty has gone anyhow!
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Correct, but I had hoped that the "official" unlocking would keep the warranty.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
In current state, it's better to use tools like AlphaRevX, since you can flash to S-ON again. When you use official HTC tool, you give them your phone id number. Therefore, they can revoke your warranty right, as they know you have unlocked yout bl.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Then it's pointless isn't it? Just a way for HTC to dupe the inexperienced and get out of warranty claims for completely unconnected faults.
[HTC Desire S] dloulou:
I hoped that too, like this it 's worthless.

yes, I experienced similar issues with 1.47.401.4 (OTA update). I did try to fully wipe the phone and reinstall the rom using the PG88IMG.zip method but it didn't improve anything.

after a one week struggle with this rom/radio, i chose to downgrade to the original rom and felt happy with it.

Having issues with update 1.47.771.2 The phone reboots and then I get a yellow exclamation mark within a white triangle above a blue android mascot. No idea really what's going on. The only way to fix it seems to be to pull the battery.

Don't pull the battery - really risky.

Reboot using power and volume buttons simultaneously

[Epic 4G General] Kodeen:
So yesterday I picked up my phone after it had been sitting on the desk, not even on the charger, and have a persistent line of pixels that are discolored (I don't know if 'stuck' fits with OLED displays). They look like they are brighter than the rest of the screen, however when I turn the brightness all the way up they are still visible. When a black image falls on the line, the pixels don't show there, which makes sense for an OLED screen.

Is there anything I can try to fix this? This is a little disappointing as I've only had the phone for 1.5 months. Didn't get insurance, but since this is what I would consider a manufacturer's defect, and not the result of anything I've done, I should be able to get a replacement I would think.
[Epic 4G General] FrameCityJackal:
Probably $35 to get it replaced...insurance is key to all big electronics you get....
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Do a dead pixel test (not to see if the pixels are dead) but to see which colors this effects...AMOLED has Blue, Red, Green colors..once you go through every one of those 3 colors you can see which colors its effecting...

if its effecting only a certain color..you can balance it out by making your phone display an inverted image with that color...if its on 2 or more colors, then use white(which is all 3 colors)

You must have had something running that used up the color of the screen on all places other then that line...

[Galaxy S II General] Jeremy:
It has been almost a month since I've gotten the Galaxy S2.

I literally waited like a longing puppy for almost half a year to get this into my hands.

I have to admit, it is one of the most beautiful creations to ever grace our earth, but gosh, it has this one big, big flaw... (for me) battery life. Before you dismiss this as another battery life complaining thread, hear me out...

I have tried EVERYTHING.

Ever since 2.3.3, battery drain. Then 2.3.4 was announced... NO MORE BATTERY DRAIN. The news caused a burst of elation, but it was all too brief. Flashed to 2.3.4, same deal.

I've tried all the ROMs-- Litening, Villainrom, Cognition, Infusion (now defunct).

I've tried several kernels -- the standard CF kernel, neophyte's, mirage, etc.

I've calibrated my battery after each flash.

I've tried downclocking it with SetCPU.

I've frozen so much with TitaniumBackup.

Dormancy settings, system update settings, modem roms, I've tried them all.

I even purchased, in desperation, a third party battery which claimed to have 2000mAh capacity.

All to no avail. Nada, zilch, non. NOTHING has worked for me.

Last night for example, I had charged my phone to 100%. When I woke up 7 hours later, it had fallen to 63%.

Therefore can deduce that consumption is is about 5% per hour with screen OFF.

I have also made it a point to test a different ROM/kernel for at least 3 to 5 days before I make a change.

Now I really don't know where I'm going wrong, yeah I do have a few widgets and stuff, but what is a phone like this without widgets?

I am getting so sad over this issue. This phone is so perfect in every other way.

Why? Is it just me?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
One no mention of actual battery life .

Two phones get fed up with multiple roms kernels etc rammed down their throat and dont work well .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
What exactly do you mean by 'battery drain' ?
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
Starting an new battery drain thread without even describing the type of battery drain is not a god start for this thread.

What is your idle drain? (% per hour when not using the phone).

How much "display on time" do you have when the battery is starting to be empty (no guessing, hard number from the battery menu please). A lot of people underestimates how much active use they have with SGS2.

Please also add graph for battery statistics, both the first page and also for the battery graph (press the small graph on top).

Just trying different ROM's in order to solve a battery drain issue is a bad idea, it is much better to find the root cause of the battery drain and solve that specific issue.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeremy:
I mean I leave it overnight, and it falls from 100% to 60%.

It has never lasted me beyond 9 hours with mid level usage.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeremy:
Apologies, my post has been updated. I don't have a good graph with my now since I'm charging, but I will post one up tomorrow.

Do widgets really make a big difference? Because that's the only thing that I have not really tested.
[Galaxy S II General] Polluxus:
Could very well be a misbehaving app or widget. My phone in idle uses 0.5%-1% an hour with wifi on. Without wifi it goes slightly faster strange enough. I have some widgets that update every hour, gmail push, whatsapp and Samsung account sync.

Test without syncing and widgets and then re-enable things one by one to find the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Another battery thread. That really IS depressing.
[Galaxy S II General] bracketb4d:
i just got my phone few days ago, battery life isn't great so far but it isn't as bad as your case.

I would recommend you do proper tests after starting fresh. flash a stale official rom, keep the phone barebones, dont install apps etc.. then test bat life with phone call usage.

Then slowly start adding and enabling things like gps, auto sync, background data and so on, till you find the cause. I think the battery life thing in the settings can help too.
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
40% overnight is huge, I get approx 5% in 7-8 hours.

With 5% drain per hour with no usage, haven't you tested to turn off things until the drain stops? I would start with wifi, SGS2 doesn't work well with some routers. Then just continue with the usual suspects: widgets that connects to internet etc, email sync, facebook etc. (freeze with Titanium)

Do this systematically, you could turn off several things at once, but not too many, try to find the real cause.

There is of course a possibility that your phone is broken, but that isn't my first guess.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSobadef:
Why does no one try Juice defender???
[Galaxy S II General] Jeremy:
Oh yes, that night the 40% drain was with Wifi on, and I heard that there have been issues with the DIR-655, which I am using.

Anyway, even with wifi off, my battery life fell from 100% to 83% with a very slimmed down ROM, everything that could be frozen, frozen.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeremy:
Yeah. That's a good idea, thanks.

Will try that over the weekend :)
[Galaxy S II General] Jeremy:
I would, but the thing is, the battery life should not even be that bad in the first place.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
Sounds to me like you have a rogue app. I get 12,14 hours of heavy usage with brightness set to roughly 75%.

Don't flame him. He has tried alot things prior to posting. This is the place to post. Try the criskelo rom. It is a great rom with great battery life. Freeze wifi sharing. Delete apps at the beginning that you don't use all the time then add extra apps one by one and see what impacts the battery level the most. Check update schedules for things like news widgets and beautiful weather-I have mine set to six hours or so. There is absolutely no reason why you can't last a full day with 30-40% left.
[Galaxy S II General] User X:
Well, first of all, it's just a phone, although an expensive one, so no need to be stressed.

Secondly, it sounds very much like you have a faulty battery or device. Maybe you should have replaced it as soon as you noticed the problem. There's definitely something wrong there if it goes from 100% down to 60% overnight (assuming it's not heavily used during that time).

You already tried most of the things that I would do to tackle the issue. Try swapping batteries for a few days with somebody with the same handset, and see what happens.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
For giggles, why don't you hard reset your phone? Then, instead of loading tons of apps of questionable quality, task killers, memory managers, and battery monitors, just load the stuff you need everyday. Things like e-mail and social stuff. People that haven't tortured their phones with excessive crap seem to get better battery life without even trying. With over a hundred apps, all the syncs syncing, heavy Wi-Fi use, and Exchange push I'm now up to 14-18 hours with moderate to heavy use. If the experiment works, start loading the rest of your stuff on your phone to see what the impact is.

Another thing to consider is your network connectivity. Your carriers signal strength and infrastructure could be part of the problem. Certain carriers and locations seem to contribute a lot to batter drain. Also, the SGS2 is very router sensitive. It likes Netgear, D-Link not so much.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
This is with a screen on time of 2:14 too, and overclocking to 1.52gHz

There is no battery issue, this phone has twice the battery life of the desire hd and thats a fact, i have not changed fast dormancy or anything, this phone is king for battery life.

Played games and browsed internet, i would say medium heavy usage;)

Using 2.3.3 KF3

Also if you had a laptop that lasted 10 hours with 63 remaining wouldnt you think that was good? This phone is the absolute top dog, i would even say its better than IP4 for battery now;)

Also used cardiotrainer to track my run this morning using GPS, ran for 30 mins and lost around 6 percent... Amazing!
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
A lot do but informed opinion is that it drains battery .

[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
Yep Juice defender sucks, and is not needed really...

You either have a rouge app sucking the life out of your phone,

Your syncing at too short periods (mine is set to 1 hour)

Your phone signal is weak so your phone is using more battery drawing 3g from your service provider:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
You probably have a defective sdcard. Most people forget that sd cards draw power too. If they are bad, they draw a lot of power. I believe this to be the most important reason why some people get good battery life and some people bad.

So if you have an sdcard, take it out and use your device one day without the sdcard and compare the battery life.
