Having the call answering delay issue. Is there a fix for that?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
The fix will probably come next week. Currently there is no fix.
[HTC Desire S] pb12551:
There is a "Call Delay Patch" app in the market, perhaps it solves the answer delay problem for someone?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
That was used on the early versions on Gingerbread. There was a bug in the code. Please report if it works, but I don't think so.
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
how do you guys download theme? The online theme server is down!!
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Go check the theme section on miui.us and miuiandroid.com forums.

L.E: First post updated also with more Q&A.
[HTC Desire S] radarist:
Tried it, didn't do the trick. Will wait for the update to fix it.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Call delay confirmed here as well.
[HTC Desire S] t-ryder:
Camera shows a green distorted something when taking a photo. There' no artefacts on the foto then, so it's a rather irrelevant bug. Just does not look nice.
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
I have this problem too as well.... it happens only sometimes.

I don't have this problem on previous version, but have it after updating to the latest one which is 1.10.21.... but it doesn't affect the final outcome, luckily.

One more problem I faced is the call volume, sometimes too high makes my ears cry and sometimes too low. And when it's too high, I try to make it lower by just pressing the volume button once, but it lowers by around 70% which is a lot and can't really hear the third party.

Other than that, it's quite stable and fast! Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
I have the same on the official miui.com version, I guess this is a kernel issue.

Hey, that fixed it. Had 4MP. Thx.

Hi,

I'm not at my Mac and can't search very effectively.. I'm having difficulties with the OC/UV Beater app. It wont run at all. Is it meant to work with MIUI + latest TIAMAT kernel?

Thanx

Hi guys,

since some Miui Versions ( don't know exactly when i faced the problem the first time) i have the Problem that the Android System Ringtones are not available.

I want to mute my Whats App notifications, but when i try to change them i can choose between Themes and Music... and not the Android System Ringtones.

So i can not mute my notifiations. Anyone else with this problem?

Just flashed the new version with full wipe... but same problem.

Any ideas?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Choose Themes, it includes the Android Ringtone System also.
[HTC Desire S] damosapiens:
LED notifications

Great Rom, clean and fast.

One problem, LED doesn't flash for notifications?

tried the LED settings to no avail.

any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Led notifications work great. What problems do you have ?
[HTC Desire S] damosapiens:
Actually working now, only comes on if the screen is off, is that right?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Of course. That's the point of led notifications, in order to save battery.
[HTC Desire S] petreski:
1.10.28 battery consumption is 14-16 mA, but 1.10.21 4-8 mA

What are differences ?
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
mine does 7-8 mA 1.10.28
[HTC Desire S] petreski:
mm I using battery monitor, you ?

[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Does anybody still experience the call answer delay with the official version ?
[HTC Desire S] gfandrea:
No, no problem here...
[HTC Desire S] feyd1980:
I am really not happy with 1.10.28. My WIFI keeps on dropping the connection from the home router and the battery dries up pretty quickly probably because of that. 1.10.14 and 21 were fine.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
With 1.10.28 from miui.us, my softkeys are always on.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
It is hard to configure them to turn off...

Or make them automatic
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
There's an issue I think caused by all modifications with the lockscreen :

I use a custom lockscreen with a fading effect on the background as you slide the unlocker to its endpoint.

Since the latest version, when I release the unlocker, the background comes back visible before fading again...

Haha that's no big deal but I that effect is so cool, too bad this little glitch spoils it !
[HTC Desire S] coolkiffings:
Is it possible to map the search key of my HTC Desire S, not to start the MIUI Search but the installed Google Search. And how can I start my Youtube app by clicking a link in the MIUI browser. If I click on a link, the browser always open the youtube website.
[HTC Desire S] elburna:
For search:

with root explorer go to system/app, mount it read/write, delete "sidekick.apk", install google search, with root explorer go to "data/app", find "com.google.quicksearchbox.apk", rename it to "SideKick.apk" and move it to "system/app". Then reboot your phone.

But as the "recent apps" will be gone as well you will need a replacement for that (I use multitask manager from the market).

Hello guys, I have a strange issue on the 11.4 and previous ROM version.

I can't use any ringtone except system .ogg files. When I choose a file from my music library or download smth (via Zedge music or built-in MIUI ringtone downloader) my phone keeps using a previous system ringtone. Could anybody help please?
[HTC Desire S] CfYz:
Hello!

I make a call to my MIUI 1.11.4 Desire S (installed with full wipe) - the call is accepted with first ring (by displaing onscreen phone app), but melody starts playing only after second ring. This is "call delay" problem? Or something else?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
The call delay is only noticeable when you answer a phone call. The other person will only hear you after 2-3 seconds, it is pretty annoying.

Try to disable quiet ring on pickup and change the ring tone. See if there are any differences.
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
anyone tried uploading vids on youtube I'm experiencing FC's :( tried both 11.4 and 10.28.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Some bugs confirmed. Please check first post and report more bugs if you find.
[HTC Desire S] flx-grafix:
I have exactly the same issue. Is there any fix or workaround?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
@bioan thanks for confirming the Video Upload thru Youtube Bug.

another stuff I wanted to confirm has anyone tried Playing Video with the Default Video Player. tried Playing an .AVI file but doesn't work and on File Explorer the file is detected as a corrupted file. But when I try to play it thru MoboPlayer it works.

can anyone try this also.
[HTC Desire S] acidoverflow:
I can't connect to my WIFI. It's configured with 802.11n standard and 5-Ghz mode.

Perhaps it's not possible with miui or the Desire S but I can't find any information on this. Does anybody have a clue?

HTC DS dont have a 5GHZ Wifi modul, you can only connect to 2,4GHZ Wifi.
[HTC Desire S] EbiEre:
Morning guys.

At first: für me the 11.4 version has a better battery life than the previous ones, and but I can't get it to go under 18mA in stand by mode. What I have read in other threads it should be Possible to get 6-8mA.

So I would like to know if someone has tips to get a better battery life. Should I use set cpu or other apps to undercover in standby? If yes which governor should I try?

Hope someone has ideas to fetvthe best out of my battery :)

Cheers

Ignore what values you are reading. How much does your battery last ? I can get 36h before it shuts down with a moderate to extensive usage.
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
I installed 1.11.11 and I still have that glitch on the lockscreen :

I use a custom lockscreen with a fading effect on the background as you slide the unlocker to its endpoint.

Since the 1.10.28 version, when I release the unlocker, the background comes back visible before fading again...

That annoying and just because of this, I am still using the old 1.10.21...

Anyone in touch with Xiaomi could ask them about that ?

Excuse my ignorance, but can anyone tell me how to enable text reflow in the default web browser?

Thanks!

[HTC Desire S] bioan:
They haven't implemented such a feature yet. But double tapping for zoom reflows the text. I think this is what you want.
[HTC Desire S] xxmarkosxx:
I think that the vibration when pressing hardware buttons has briefly increased. Anyone else with this problem?
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
Which MIUI ROM should i prefer?

I'm not sure if it's right in this thread but yeah.

I recently found out that there's a ICS MIUI Build from MIUI Galnet for all phones including the HTC Desire S.

Now there are 3 different "weekly" MIUI Rom's

The original build from miui.com, the ics (i think there's a normal build to) from galnetmiui.co.uk and the one from superkid (miui.us)

Which one is better, where are the differences?

I hope someone can clear out some of those questions. (I tested galnetmiui but i was not able to find any ICS specific differences (only the buildnumber)).

Thanks in advance

Mike
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
I prefer Superkids Version of MIUI!

Never tried the galnet version, but for me Superkids version is better in battery life than the original one!

I think both have the same good performance, I didn`t notice much difference.

But the battery life in V 1.11.4 was much better than in the new V 1.11.11.

I flashed it 2-3 times, but still the same poor battery life, compared to the old version.

Has anybody noticed the same?
[HTC Desire S] chrisi100:
I think its a great idea to start comparing the roms. you forgot the miuiandroid.com version.

ok, then im going to start:

miui.com: because i dont understand chinese i've never tested it.

miuiandroid.com:

its a clean version of miui with no further apps installed. the 4-way reboot only appears if you are at the lockscreen and its a bitt laggy(the 4way-reboot not the rom).

miui.us:

there are a few miui.us apps installed including a OneTimeInitializer to set up your phone like google acc.**

4-Way reboot isnt at all in this rom.

miui.us Superkid:

it has the same apps like miui.us plus a few social apps like facebook, twitter, g+ (easy removeable because in /data/apps).

It has the 4-Way reboot included (not at the lockscreen) and its very smooth. It has a different kernel than the other roms (cyanogenmod+cayniarb, Sept.1).

Since a few versions the 4keys are permanently on.

good transfer speed via USB.

galnet miui: Ive tested the 11.9 ICS and the 11.11

It has a additional photoviewer equalizer and browser installed.

The 4-way reboot isnt there at all (i'm only shure at 11.9 ICS).

Kernel is like in all other roms (cyanogenmod+nexx, Sept.6) exept Superkids.

terrible transfer speed via USB (<1MB/s)

**(if you have to pay for data per kB, you have to skip as fast as possible this Initializer and disable data, because it directly connects and downloads some kB.

ok thats for now...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Lol What do you use...finally :P :P
[HTC Desire S] chrisi100:
well at the moment i'm using superkids 1.11.11, but for 1.11.18 i will definitely have a closer look at miuiandroid and galnet. I'm only at superkids miui because both galnets had the low USB transfer speed. dont remember if the miuiandroid also had that problem. If not my next will be miuiandroid.

ps: i'm always using andrev_oc for better battery life.
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
And what Kernel are you using?

At the moment I try the Tiamat, because i have heared that he gives better battery live than the Stock one. (on Superkids Version)

Btw.: do you know where to find a German language pack for the english only Versions?
[HTC Desire S] chrisi100:
@BeDesireS

I'm always using the stock kernel with andrev_oc. I've tried the Tiamat a few times, but I dont like it (for me it feels laggy).

I don't know about german language packs. I know that miui-germany has their own german miui version (i think directly from miui.com translated) and there is also some guy who is translating the Superkid miui.us version to german.
[HTC Desire S] goatimus:
Been using miui for a month or so now and it is bar far my favourite rom (really dont like sense all that much) but the latest version 1.11.11 seems to keep giving me a lack of storage space error when trying to download stuff from market. It generally lets me download if i retry straight after the error but its irratating. Anyone else have this problem and is there a fix.
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
thanks for that ;)

i am using miui since superkid ported it the first time now, but i was a bit confused by all those different versions.

You can find the 4way-reboot, volume skip mod, extended settings mod here: http://forums.miuiandroid.com/forumdisplay.php?36-MIUI-Mods they can be flashed on any miui rom. I havn't tryed it on the galnet version and i am not sure if it would work because they use their own base. (and ics is far different too i think). So for the normal weekly releases of galnet it can be tried. They say that their miui is better, and has a better battery life because they included more tweaks but i'm not sure.

A german miui version can be found at miui-germany.de in their forums you can also find the extended settings mod und volume skip mod, and the 4wayreboot mod. Correct me if i'm wrong.

The interesting think of the galnet version is the ICS, because they say it has better ram management, battery life, signal strength?

perhaps i will test that build i a week or two again.

as far as i know the miui.us and miui.com versions are untweaked and unmoded, the miuiandroid.com miui-germany, ... versions include some mods, and the superkid version some more tweaks and mods, the only miui version which is like a ghost for me is the galnet one xD.

oh at the moment i am using the miui-germany version (in english xD i don't like miui in german)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Is this galnet version stable?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for that:)

Not as simple or quick as the automatic reflow though, but thanks: )
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
in the few minutes i tested the galnet version it seemed very stable for me (the ICS build)

i will wait for 2 weeks now til (i hope) they were able to include the real ICS source, because as far as i know they had no chance to get the source before anyone else. So their build must be a "dirty SDK" build.

it would be interesting which mods and tweaks they included in their roms, and how stable or how good their own base is.

someone with more experience here?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup add to that...

Some people had said dey had just manipulated the build.prop...

but the framework.jar of ics build is different...

so as dey said ram and power mgmt better...

but as dat isn't on ui its difficult for users to find ne change till some features is used...

it is extremely stable used for arnd 4 5 days...

Would return today eve or tom to some version of miui now that new ics blackice theme v2.2 is released for miui...

With a launcher like launcher pro...

Miui is awesome...:) :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the run down! I guess ill wait too!
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
I am truly sorry, Vampire, but did you forget to put your teeth in??? Your post is totally garbled, at least for me, and I thought my command of the English language is quite alright....
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Well, I understood what he said ;oþ
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I agree with you, vampire does tend to type in very slang-ish English, which is very difficult to understand...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Oooops sorry would try my best to be formal next time...

Get into sms mode :P :P

Message decrypted...

Yup add to what mikep had said...

Some people also complained that Galnet had just manipulated the build.prop rather than using any ICS component...

but the framework.jar of ics build is different than normal miui...

so as they said ram and power management better...atleast on par with ics...

but as that isn't on ui or any change on graphics...

its difficult for users to find any change till some explicit feature is used...

but it is extremely stable...I had used for around 4 to 5 days...

Would return today or tomorrow to some version of miui now that new ics blackice theme v2.2 is released for miui...

With a launcher like launcher pro...Miui is awesome...the best interface till date...

Phewwww hope now am clear....:P
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
I understand it too xd

So no big deal for me.

Interesting to see such a slang.

So back to the topic.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No problem man! I wasn't intending to offend you or anything :)

I'm quite curious to give this new gallery ics thing a try
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I've tried the Galnet release.

Not impressed.

Performance just wasn't as smooth as the superkid version. Plus i had a random freeze within 4 hours, on a clean install!! Sat staring at the screen, with no adb, no three button reset, no way to reset...

Had to wait till the battery ran out, then restored Endymion. (I NEVER pull battery.)

Am currently on MIUI 1.11.11, superkid release. More than happy with it.

I don't think i need a half baked mutant born out of a midnight romp between GB and ICS. It's better having one or the other. So I will wait for pure ICS.

DISCLAIMER: These are personal opinions, and not irrefutable facts. If i knew the universal truth, i'd be a soothsayer. So feel free to choose on your own, but i have personally had a bad brush with that Frankenstein release, with no advantages that justify me trying to flash and run it again...

Peace.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the quick run down, and guess iwont be try the Galnet version.

Anyone care to tell me the difference between superkid and the official version? The many thanks
[HTC Desire S] Jahai:
did you tested the galnet ics version or the normal miui version from galnet?

is the normal version better then 'our' version?
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
Would like to know this too
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
Strange

I just noticed something strange...whenever I upload a photo to Facebook, that particular photo disappears from the gallery, in fact from my SD card...can't find it anymore ....

Has anyone else noticed that, or is it a feature that I have not noticed yet? :confused:

Have the Superkid MIUI version with a complete clean install with a fresh formatted SD card!

Thanx for checking
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I've tried Galnet almost from the day they released it, I've wrote something about it HERE (not too much). Since then I am using Galnet and didn't encounter any problem. Some said the USB speed is bad...dunno, I get something between 2-3.5 Mb/s so I don't think is so bad.

I'm not so experienced to tell the diference having that ICS framework (or if it is such a framework at all), but the ROM runs ok, never had a freeze with it in a week since I'm testing it. Don't know if 4 Way Reboot mod works with it but Extended Settings is working for sure because I've installed it (the one made for MIUI 1.11.11)

The only annoying thing for me (but this is something present in all MIUI version as I know), is that bug related to the way phone numbers are shown with or without country code. Something that makes the integrated firewall useless.

I think I'll keep this version till a new one will appear or an ICS ROM, usable for day-to-day operation, will be out.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I am using Galnet 1.11.18...

Same here...no freezes...no issues...

USB transfer speed also good...

So guess this version is on par with the other versions...
[HTC Desire S] GideonB234:
I'm using miui.us 11.18 so I'm not sure what version of build I'm using

running nicely though so its all good
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
I have managed to fix the call delay on my phone by disabling the miui firewall. It also fixed a problem I had with texts arriving hours late and in the wrong order.
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
On newest version. I seem to have a bug, was on previous too, if using any launcher apart from stock miui when adjusting volume with volume keys, no slider apears and therefore can't change volume. Only way round is to open notification bar or use stock launcher
[HTC Desire S] cript0n:
I have the same bug...

Enviado desde mi Desire S usando Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
For those who were following this, it's now fixed in 1.11.18 :D
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
anyone know of a fix for this?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Could anyone test this ? It didn't work for me.

P.S What version are you using ? Miuiandroid, galnet or miui.us
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
I am using Miuiandroid 1.11.18

I was having the problem quite badly (hanging up and calling people again myself). It became so annoying I even considered switching to CM. So I did some research and came across someone with a similar problem (different phone but still MIUI) elsewhere on xda and he said he fixed his by disabling firewall. So I tried that and luckily it has worked for me! I cant find the like to that page ATM but when I do I'll post it here.
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
I have a little (but quite annoying) bug with 1.11.25.

I think it has to do with the animations.

The bug is, when I unlock the screen, it seems like the wallpaper has to re set it's position on the homescreen.

Also something else, when I turn on the screen it first is in lowest brightness mode and can't be unlocked, but after a second or so it comes alive and i can unlock the phone. also pretty annoying.

thanks

I need someone to maintain this thread. I've just sold my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Why? :O

Sad to See you go!
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
The screen burns got me insane and I never liked the vibration. It always seemed like the phone was broken.

Don't feel sad, I will always be here to give a helping hand.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
ah, what phone did you get now?

you could have just asked for a warranty replacement from htc themselves?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
It was the second device from HTC. They all are the same unfortunately. I consider on buying a Nexus S due to ICS upgrade.
[HTC Desire S] goatimus:
I may sound stupid but what do you mean by screen burns
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
If you use the phone more than 10 minutes with screen on, you will see that the image gets stuck and it goes back to normal only after some time with the screen off. For example, chat on Gtalk for 10 minutes and then drag the notification bar if you are on CM or Oxygen (the gray one) and you will see a "ghost" of the keyboard and statusbar, etc.

Personal password

Hi,

Stock ROM has possibility of set up personal password delay (immediately, 5 minutes, 15 minutes). It means that phone do not request code after unlocking immediately. Our company Exchange server has this password security, but in stock ROM I don't have to enter PIN if I lock phone before set up time.

It is possible the same with MIUI?

Sorry for my English, but I hope you understand I wanted to say:)

Second question is connected to "Quick unlock". Not clicking OK after entering correct PIN code or password.

It is really boring those redundant clicks.

Thanks for answer in advance.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Hey guys, since bioan, the OP of this thread Sold his Desire S, he probably won't be able to maintain it. Can someone contact a Mod and Unsticky it? Apparently, they don't like to read my PMs :p

Or somebody who want to take ownership of the thread. But it could get unsticky because now we are official, so no more bugs that superkid could fix.
