[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
Like I said...lol...hard choice. The Focus is a sweet phone and my opinion is it is the current best WP7 phone. But WP7 severely lacks regarding features and functionality right now. WP7 is a sweet system, very smooth and elegant, and can be the best mobile OS if MS gets its act together and starts adding the needed features and takes control of the updating like they claimed they were going to in the beginning.

WP7 is, like iOS, very boring regarding customization. A WP7 phone serves a simple, very useful, purpose, which is to provide a smartphone platform that does multimedia, web and phone calls/SMS. But what you get with the WP7 phone you buy is all you get until MS changes it in an update.

I love my Focus but it sucks...just like all other WP7 phones...for music quality. And that's because of the "system-on-a-chip" architecture. There isn't a high-quality, high-end audio chip in any WP7 phone. That's why the Captivate would be the better choice for all-around usability and functionality.

The apps currently available for WP7 are nice. But there are too few of them and things like turn-by-turn voice-guided navigation don't currently exist. Mango will change that, though.
[General Questions and Answers] hellfire666:
you are right captivate seems to be a good option...here

will it be like Really darn slow for Exchange sync and FB on 2g with the Inspire??

just wondering if there sia way to keep it heheee

I dont really use it for music I have a ipod 4g 64 GB for music stuff

I need to solid Smart phone with good Apps and stuff Emails

I really do Like Sense3.0 Damn it !!!
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
Edge is painfully slow for websites with a lot of HTML. But for text-based sites, you should be fine. And the Inspire doesn't have Sense 3.0 natively. It uses Sense 2.1 in Gingerbread. Sense 3.0 is sweet and the HTC Sensation, which uses Sense 3.0, is a fine phone.
[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
If you can't have 3g in your area get the Captivate, save the money for these reasons:

Samsung great hardware

The Phone has a huge support library

It is hella fast over wifi (you can get up to 21mb d/l speed)

If you like sense there are couple of roms that have it

Forget the win 7 unless you are into just using the phone then it pretty good

Or keep the Inspire and forget about the costs
[General Questions and Answers] stewi21:
Get the captivate, its its a great phone, i personally havent had problems with the gps. The dev community for it is great, plus theres the chance of getting wp7 ported with all this bootloader development
[General Questions and Answers] hellfire666:
Well guys

Captivate was a used one..Thata bastered tried to trick me

Focus was new and all but im not sure about WP7

im gonna stick with the Inspire

the guy said he will get Iphone4 with gevey ultra in a week and i will have to pay 40$ more for the 16GB one

i might jump ship i dunno that Gevey ultra thing really seems to work...

I am having an issue with the power button, where I press and hold and my phone freezes. Occasionally it will reboot but more often than not i will need to remove the battery.

I have recently installed Wolfs rom and the Carbon theme via xrecovery.

Further, I have tried editing the keypad.kl file as suggested here. I have seen a few other threads in this vein with no obvious answer, and I have also searched Wolfs' thread for a solution.

Thanks in advance

[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
I installed virtousity, it hangs 2 times, the 2nd time it wont boot anymore, stuck on white htc screen.

so i tried to reboot on recovery clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0 but it only shows the hat and arrow and "clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0" and nothing after that.

so i tried to install clockworkmod recovery via fastboot and it just hangs on "writing recovery..."

i dont know what else to try, anybody can help me?

i tried this method of installing via PG88IMG on bootloader, and its stuck in "updating..."

does it look like eMMC problem?

ruu says it cant detect my phone? and i notice that when i connect my phone it cant find/install "android phone" usb driver.
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
so i run adb command and this what came out, is this good news or bad news?
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Did you wipe data and cache before you flashed virtuous unity?
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
no, so thats the problem? what should i do know? the adb command seems saying that its not an eMMC problem.
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Now, go into recovery and factory reset. Then, redownload rom manager and flash your rom from your sd card. To go into recovery mode, remove your battery and put it in, then hold the lock button and volume down button.
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
i cant factory reset, it just hangs when factory reset is selected.
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Did you backup your stock rom? If you didn't, your phone's bricked. You gotta send it for repair.
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
i backed up it, via clockwork mod recovery. but i cant install it cause clockwork mod recovery hangs and cant start.
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Hang? How does. It hang?
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
the factory reset hangs when i select it.

the clockworkmod recovery hangs when i go to recovery mode, its just says "clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0 recovery" with a hat and an orange circle arrow then nothing, i left it for a long time, still nothing

now all i can do is adb shell commands.
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Now, don't enter recovery. Go to your bootloader and hit factory reset.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Not actually sure if this works on the Desire S (never had to use it) but have you tried:

adb reboot fastboot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

Whilst the HTC logo is displaying:

adb reboot recovery

Presuming it now enters recovery properly, you might want to do a full factory reset and another cache wipe from the main recovery menu.

I wish you luck!
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
adb reboot fastboot - reboots the phone to htc logo and hangs, so what i did was go into hboot, select fastboot and connect usb, then fastboot turns to fastboot usb. after that i run fastboot erase cache which hangs the phone.

it seems this is not a burned eMMC problem, its just that the files are messed up/ maybe if theres a "scandisk" or repair partition i can use. but i dont know linux commands that well.

also tried this command inside adb shell:

mount data

mount: can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory

so it seems im missing some files
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
factory reset hangs
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
anybody know why cant i mount?

[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
it seems im getting the same error from this thread when mounting /data and /cache. so its burned emmc?

since its s-off i have no more warranty, how available is this emmc from cellphone repair shops?

btw, i didnt pulled out the battery when the phone started not to boot, i used the vol+ vol- and power button. only used the pull out battery when the vol+ vol- power wont work.

this problem started when i use rom manager to "automatically" install virtuosity, and didnt clean my cache and data. also might be market related cause i was downloading and installing a lot of market apps when the phone hanged.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Sorry to hear of this, it does sound very like yet another fired eMMC chip and it sounds like you did two of the possible things that I've read can cause eMMC fried chip. one) Remove battery and two) multiple market download.

Not that it's important anymore, but, wiping CACHE and DALVIK CACHE should always be done on a new ROM install, wiping DATA is just sometimes recommend. But not doing so should not lead to a bricked device. It sounds very like the battery pull has done it again - which to my reckoning is a hardware/software design flaw and SHOULD be covered under warranty!

Surely its worth returning just trying to return the device under warranty just to see if they don't notice that you've S-OFF you may be lucky!
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
If you cannot get past the HTC logo, and the eMMC's are indeed fried... there's no real way for HTC to know you've S-OFF'd your phone.

As Ben stated above, given that it's the removal of the battery (which is a user-intended activity and is SUPPOSED to be safe), this should certainly be accepted under warranty (or whatever your country's version is of "Statutory Rights") anyway.

Send it in for replacement/repair! The worst that'll happen is HTC refuse to do anything with it, send it back to you (as legally required to do so) and you're out of pocket on some postage!

Since the phone is FUBAR anyway, you've got nothing more than postage cost to lose!
[HTC Desire S] arrobador:
Mine had the same symptoms, and I sent it to technical service. But, HTC's technicians can enter in recovery mode and realize that the terminal is s-off, has happened with my terminal. If so, warranty is void.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
The best option is to "play dumb"... make it seem as though you know nothing about S-OFF or flashing ROMs, or anything remotely technical! It's still worth a shot!
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
just brought mine straight to HTC service repair, talked to the technician, i immediately admitted that i s-off the device and he asked me if i installed custom rom, i said yes. he quoted me 8,000 PHP ($186) for the mainboard if i pay for it. so he asked me for the receipt and he will still repair it under warranty even though i s-off and installed custom rom. the technician is familiar about the problem and i think he knows that its not the custom rom or s-off that fried the chip, he is aware of the chip being fried problem of that unit.

so a big thanks to htc philippines for honoring my warranty even though i voided it.
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
Good for you Sir a fellow filipino too :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Nice to hear to a reasonably happy end to this familiar story

Sounds like HTC should make an announcement with regards this very common problem, I'm reading of at least one person a day on forum who suffers from it on XDA alone

perhaps we should start asking questions on their face book page?

[HTC Desire S] toke420:
Bro, i'm from philippines too. So, you still payed 8,000 to have it fixed, or they fixed it for free?
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
I didnt payed for it, he honered my warranty, actually its still with HTC cause I said I'll give the receipt tomorrow. He just quoted me P8,000+ for the mainboard because at first I was insisting to just pay for it because I already lost the receipt. Needless to say, after hearing what I have to pay, I looked for my receipt and luckily able to find it.

I agree that more reading can definitely be done so that you have a better understanding of everything, but I also agree that the whole process of finding roms and kernels and themes is a pain.

I'm working on a website at android.jakaar.net which will encompass lists of roms and kernels for a large majority of Android phones. It's currently limited to the Samsung Captivate and Samsung Infuse, but go to

android.jakaar.net

I know it doesn't cover much right now, but I am working on it.

I hope it helps, and please forgive the fact that it's not the greatest site at the moment, it takes a lot of time to put all the info together.

let me know if you have a specific device you'd like me to add to my site. To do that, you can email me at support@jakaar.net or go to android.jakaar.net/contact.html
