[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] BackDaws:
you can root it and unroot it, so it wont effect your warranty as you can go back to an original unrooted phone, just so you know rooting the phone doesnt effect the rom this is something diffrent.

Rooting just gives access and permissions to the phone so you can tweak it.

changing Roms is like installing an operating system, so before you change any roms then backup your original stock rom.( if you ever need to send your phone in for repairs youll want to put your original stock ROM back on and unroot the phone).

im still waiting for ClockWorkMod to support the Galaxy S PLUS so i can backup my stock rom also. :(

I'm a complete noob to this so please do help out.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I've downloaded the root file to /sdcard, then I've tried to restart my phone pressing down volume+ and power as told.

The problem is I don't see "android out of the box", I've still tried pressing the home button but nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong? Please reply ><

Edit: Nvm, I see the android now, I just had to hold longer. Now I press home button, doesn't work. No button worked. =o= fml

Edit 2: LOL nvm it works now, I didn't realize I was actually suppose to press the menu button, not the home. My bad.

Not working, or root gone.

I have completed the procedure and after the reboot I had the Superuser app in menu. I have immediately installed AdFree too.

After a couple of days, i asked AdFree to update the HOSTS file and i got this error "Unable to locate a partition to remount to write the hosts file to".

The the HOSTS file is empty (only the 127.0.0.1 entry is present). I don't know if i really got root access or not the first time.

Other software (ex. ES file manager) says my phone is not rooted.

I have repeated the procedure and nothing changed.

It should work. Their is no harm in trying, as you can always flash original roms. :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mom4751:
It was already on "Prompt". I have switched on "Allow" just in case, but obviously nothing changed.

I will try to apply the unroot patch and then the root patch again, but i don't think it will go better.

How is it possible to lose root access? Some kind of self protection? A silent update of some component? An Android market update (recently the market application updated herself)?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Klarostorix:
Well i tried to enter recovery mode, but there is no Android out of the box-picture. I am right to say that my device must be connected via USB and usb-debug must be enabled to enter recovery menu? First post seems to be a bit ambivalent...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] reneph:
No.

Just do the steps that are explained in the linked post...

- switch off your phone

- press the power button and the volume+ - button and hold them

- when the Samsung-Logo appears, just hold the buttons another second and then release them both

- the android-out-of-the-box-picture appears and you have to press the menu-button
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Klarostorix:
Ok, i tried exactlx this way but i couldnt enter the recovery-menu. perhaps i released the buttons too early or late. I will try again.

Doesn't work. Can't boot into recovery mode. No idea why, tried multiple methods. None work. The little android and box comes up, I press the home button but it just proceeds to boot.

I know what rec mode looks like, I have an SGS2 as well with rec mode fine. Maybe I don't have a rec mode? I can get into RAM Dump or Download mode but not Recovery Mode.

No idea why. Trying to root the phone... any ideas guys?

3. Wait few second till SAMSUNG disappear.

4. as soon as the "Android out of the Box" appears, press the Menu button once only.

* The menu button will be left of HOME button.

5. The "Android out of the Box" will be change to dimmer color.

Hi,

I have recently bought HTC DESIRE S and I don't want to use the Power button to lock or unlock the phone so I have installed the Tap Tap App which uses proximity Sensor to lock/unlock.

But I have been seeing the mixed views on this app and found that it may be lead to battery drainer fast. So, is it safe to use this app on HTC DESIRE S also please let me know the alternatives to this app also the disadvantages of this app?

Also in General will Primoxity sensor will always be ON in general in HTC DESIRE S?

Please Confirm. Appreciate and Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

It might... It has the proximity sensor running all the time, it might have battery drain if you don't have at least a custom kernel that acts like the smartass kernel, if not a smartass kernel.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
my sensation volume button is dropped off while I was trying to adjust volume, and can not put it back.

I contacted HTC (UK) customer support, they told me this problem is classified as out of warranty, because they assume volume button is sealed very well in back cover and only physical damage can cause it drop off.

customer support blame me for this problem and ask me to buy a new back cover for £40.99 plus £6.99 delivery.

Its just completed ruined my htc experience. I like this phone very much, and I can't adjust volume now.:confused::mad:

found same story here, and more same problem happened in reply section.

You can still adjust volume in settings or with other apps.

I believe volume button works as shortcut for volume adjustment.

[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
thanks.

it looks ugly and feels wrong without it. and strange thing is, this is hardware problem, and they told me this problem classified as out of warranty. how come?
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
yes, its ugly without it, also very easy for other people to see, you can hide it.

its amazing phone and cant show your friends because of volume button is missing. :p
[HTC Sensation] Canaan:
Thats Strange. I had the exact same problem and called HTC UK, the gentleman advised me to return the phone to T-Mobile to exchange the handset or he could send me a replacement cover, but that would take a week to ten days. I asked for a replacement cover and that arrived 2 days later. Maybe you should call back and speak to someone else.
[HTC Sensation] austendale9:
Demand it. Laws are here to protect you in the EU..

Demand you are unhappy and you want a replacement otherwise lawyers will get involved.

The law says if you are unhappy because a product failed to do it's duty or wasn't of good quality (ie. volume buttons detaching) then the company MUST replace it.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Legally in the UK it is down to the shop/retailer not manufacturer to rectify either through repair or replacement, or if they like by refund.

If something goes wrong in the first 6 months it is up to the shop to prove the issue was caused by misuse, not up to you to prove it just fell off.

So contact the retailer and ask them to repair it or replace it. If they say you need to contact HTC direct tell them that under the sale of goods act it is the responsibility of the retailer.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Yes, I thought I am covered under warranty, seem I was wrong.

It's annoying that customer support he is confirmed with one of his colleague, both of them believe volume button is very well sitted in back cover, its only happened when physical damage to it.

They are using too much their own imagination, not look into problem. I did some research on this, many people have this problem.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Thank you. I will try contact Vodafone, see what Vodafone say about this.
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Mine did the same and i had a brand new cover sent out. I used the Htc uk support live chat. The guy even sent an update when it had been sent out. This was about 6 weeks a go.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Sometimes I wish warranties were banned, they can be used by companies to make out that you have no rights.

All a warranty is in the UK, is an agreement from the retailer/manufacturer that they will repair/exchange the item without hassle if they deem it to fall under that agreement.

Outside that agreement you have statutory rights which in the UK are pretty solid.

For instance, most people will think that after a year if something goes wrong with their phone they should pay to repair it, but the law says that you should be able to get a reasonable amount of use out of an item, and I don't know about you, but I'd expect a £400+ to last more than 2 years.

You also have several organisations which are on your side.

If you want free legal advice there is the Citizen's Advice Bureau.

If you get no where with Vodafone, see if your local BBC radio station has a consumer protection show. BBC 3 Counties Radio (Herts, Beds, Bucks) has an excellent show in the mornings for instance.

Have a look here
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
So many information, thank-you.

I will fight to the end until problem solved and use information you have provided if needed & update any progress here.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
The unibody design seems add too much cost to repair for HTC, even only for tiny volume switch.

HTC customer support also argue volume button is very secure and only can be removed by physical damage. But for me, mine is dropped off while I was adjusting volume.

BTW, a tiny volume rocker can destroy HTC brand.
[HTC Sensation] Mrplennium:
This happened to me as well. It makes me question the build quality of this device. I wanted to keep it around for a long time, but now I'm a but sorry I didn't wait for the next Nexus device. I live in the US. When I called them they sent me a new back cover within 3 days. It makes me wonder if it will happen again....
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
I have same thought, what can I do if volume rocker fail again even they agree to give me a new cover.

I will sell this device ASAP when my contract finishs. It's a shame, i like this phone.
[HTC Sensation] GunnerVx:
I pulled mine off and then glued it back on when I was done my mod. If the little rubber piece is still there then you should be able to just crazy glue it back.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
You contact Vodafone again and demand they replace the back cover again, simple as that.
[HTC Sensation] RiverCity.45:
I had that happen, too. HTC US gave me no problem, replaced back cover free.
[HTC Sensation] binar1:
My volume rocker fell off my sensation as well, also after removing the back I found the power on/off button is coming away from the case as well (with case fitted the left side of button is flat aganst the case)

Anyway just contacted HTC UK and they are sending a new back as soon as possible.

I asked whether this is a common problem and was told that it is not and i am just unlucky and got a dodgy one.

I hope so this one lasted only seven weeks, So by my reckoning will need another 14 or so to see me to the end of my contract
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Just a fyi for all the people who do battery pulls to "reset" the phone during a phone freeze or bootloop. If you have a recovery installed on your phone and have a pc near you with Android ADK installed. Plug in your phone, bring up a command screen/dos screen to run adb and type "ADB REBOOT" And after that your phone should reboot itself. And if you want to reboot to fast boot type in "ADB reboot fastboot" and if you want to get to your recovery, type in "ADB reboot recovery" and that would send you to your installed recovery.

I went this way because I have a Seidio active case and it's a bit of a pain to keep getting into the phone to take the case off and do a battery pull everytime the phone goes into a boot loop or stuck at a screen. This would in turn, lessen the amount of times one would take off the case and the rockers would stay intact. Just my .02.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
GREAT TIP!

As my luck would have it, it usually freezes up when I am out and about. I once had to use my "rock solid abs" as the flat surface to take off the Seidio case...:D

[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Lucky u lol....I use my "rock solid keg" :o:D
[HTC Sensation] RaptorRVL:
Or else you press power button, volume up and volume down at the same time. Also makes the phone reboot.

Not a good solution for those whose volume rocker fell off lol :D
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Done a little bit of beta testing and had to pull the battery quite often... Didn't think of the possibility to just use adb.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Sometimes the comp doesn't recognize the phone at all. At that point, I try to "wake up" the device by unpluging and replugging the device. If all fails, then I have no option but to do a battery pull.

I just try to avoid it if possible. :D

No, Google's IME is only for pinyin input. The Samsung IME has handwriting input and a number of other features. I use both the Google and Samsung keyboards.

A problem I've been having since I got my phone, is that I can't send/reply SMS's via thread view.

I can receive SMS's fine, and later on I found out sending SMS's via the new message button works fine too.

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? It's getting a bit annoying having to reply to messages by creating a new message everytime.

Actually on second thoughts, thread view works intermittently. Some contacts seem to work fine, and others seem to work if I use thread view to message immediately after sending a new message to them via the work around.
