[HTC Desire S] oftiklaus:
Well I got mine mid April. Disregarded all bulls*** negative waves around the forum (which was depresively poor at the time, may I say, due to lack of exploit for rooting).

Of course my unit developed a sqeaky battery cover within 24 hrs, and had a sizeable gap between the screen and the upper part of the body. Sent it to HTC, got it back a week later with the following commentaries: "... The quality issues you complained about are not considered manufacturing defects..., blah, blah, blah".

So I fixed the loose battery cover by getting myself a casemate, used a little black silicone paste for the gap, and am very happy with my device. Rooted, tried almost every ROM out there, but am coming back to Virtuosity, especially because I happen to like Sense. Had I wanted Google stock, I would have got myself a nexus S.

For those out there, rooted and complaining about battery life in Sense ROM's, do a battery stats wipe in CWMRecovery and then a couple of full discharge/charge cycles, or check out neolojik's post about battery optimization for cyanogen rom's.

The phone has been off the charger since 06.30, did like 20 min of calls, have data and all the Google sync crap on, browsed the net for 50 min, have been on WiFi for the past hour, and still have 53% juice left. So just be patient and read the meaningfull posts, because the answers are all here, thanks to this great community of users.
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
Mine is 1 month and 10 days old I'm Happy about it and no such big problems at all except for the Battery becoz of the FOTA update it made it drain so fast., so now I decided to S-OFF it and ROOT Installed a Custom ROM VU 2.37 and I'ts doing Good again :D so for me Worth It! :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] MrCheeney:
Great phone, but my power button no longer works. I'm getting by with workarounds (eg. volume rocker to switch on), but it's not going to be good when I decide to move on and sell it. I've asked around and it'll cost about AU$120 to fix, and apparently it's somewhat common with HTC phones.

But as I said, it's still a great phone and it's relatively rare that you'll encounter a problem.
[HTC Desire S] :
Unlucky with that. Not heard of a power button packing in on DS yet.

I'm not sure you'll struggle come sale time. It's all about how you sell it! One of my (very minor) gripes about HTC phones is how I keep turning the screen on when I push the phone back in my pocket. You could say you've solved this problem by having the volume rocker wake the phone up instead to prevent accidental battery waste from having the phone awake in your pocket! :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I recall someone who at the time sounded paranoid, saying a while back that they were very concerned that the continual use of the power button would break it, they were playing with switching button functionailty so that they could indeed use volume buttons and even tap tap to lock the device to reduce wear and tear on power...

it's in a thread somewhere....
[HTC Desire S] zeetype:
i have the following complaints with the phone. see if there are a deal breaker for you:

1. wifi dies if you hold the phone from the top-middle. can get really annoying trying to watch a something in landscape mode.

2. the call answer slider in locked mode on the original sense 2.1. you can reject or accept calls while pulling it out of ur pocket.

3. if you are a heavy user you might not be impressed by the battery life.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Now, for me:

1) I never use the phone in landscape - so not an issue.

2) This never happens with Sense 3 lock screen.....but that means flashing custom and S-OFF'ing etc

3) Name a smart phone that has a good battery life!
[HTC Desire S] Immama:
I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1240177) and I'm happy with it. Everything works just fine! I can fully recommend it!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
use the app screen off and lock. it locks your phone, so you dont have to press the power button therefore, you halve the amount of times you use the power button. it has a shortcut, so i just hit the app on my homescreen to lock my phone :)

been using it on all my devices (even a similiar app i had on my windows mobile phones!)
[HTC Desire S] lhn1989:
i think you have no need to pull the battery most time .so dont worry about it. I've used Desire S for a long time ,and I've never seen this problem
[HTC EVO 3D] elevation_2:
Hi guys,

Im having battery issues so decided to calibrate it. Now i just wanted to know if theres any difference in charging using the above 2 methods. Ive seen that charging thru USB is slower(Or at least for me) but the question is that does charging via USB harm/decrease your battery life?

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
No, it does not damage your battery. The phone will charge at approximately 1/2 the rate via usb compared to the wall charger. This is preset by the kernel and may or may not be able to be modified. Also, if you charge via usb cable with a car charger it will take longer than wall outlet since most car chargers are mistaken as usb chargers by the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] elevation_2:
Thanks for the info
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmiike:
I have been researching the net on this and the posts in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.

I haven't been able to post in there as I am a new user, but if someone can help me with this, it would be great.

I'm trying to upgrade my firmware to XXKH3 - Android 2.3.4.

My current version is:

PDA: I91000XWKE7

PHONE: I9100XXKE4

CSC: I9100OPSKE4

My Galaxy S II is rooted and it's on the OPTUS network in Australia.

My question is, how should I go about it?

Do I download the XXKH3 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/C4DRUIJTLL and place that in PDA and PHONE in Odin?

And for CSC do I get this: Optus OPSKG1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/EPWZTIMS1F and place it in CSC?

I want to be able to use the OPTUS network on XXKH3, but without OPTUS bloatware. I'm just not sure which files to get so I can be with OPTUS on an Australian firmware if that makes any sense.

My last question is, would this then wipe my data? Or not?

I appreciate any help on this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netcitizen:
you are referring to the right thread. clear instructions are given on that thread.

choose the PDA option.

CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.

You don't have to change the kernel or root or unroot to flash a new stock firmware.

You can then flash the kernel of your choice.

If you want the CF-root KH3 kernel. refer this thread

If you want to flash stock KH3 kernel you can also do that.

as far as operator bloatware is concerned search for operator specific bloatware removal scripts which can be executed using Gscript app . or a simpler option would be to freeze or uninstall the bloatware apps using Titanium back up Pro.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmiike:
Thank you for the fast reply.

So pretty much all I need to do is put the XXKH3 Stock Kernel in the PDA option and that's it. So the OPTUS network will not be affected correct?

Then root it and I'm done?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Exactly. I did this yesterday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmiike:
Excellent. Thanks.

I guess my last question is, by doing this, putting the XXKH3 in the PDA option, will this wipe my data?

Should I back up?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danm200:
Back up apps with Titanium Pro
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmiike:
Alright will do. Thanks for all your help guys!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
let me know how you get on,am severely tempted to flash new firmware just for a change!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmiike:
Hm. I just put XXKH3 Stock Kernel in PDA and flashed it but my phone still says Android 2.3.3. I used the CF-root KH3 kernel as well to root it again.

What do I need to do to get it to Android 2.3.4? Do I have to place it in PHONE as well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danm200:
The ROM is 2.3.4, just about any ROM in original development is. What you are trying to flash is kernel. Best of luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Er, Kernel is kernel and firmware is firmware. Flashing the kernel won't update the firmware, just the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmiike:
Alright I think I understand now.

Downloading the package, which should do it and I guess the stock kernel is used to root/rid yourself of the yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmiike:
It went well, the phone is working great.

My data didn't get wiped.

Follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.

Download the XXKH3 package.

I also used Titanium to backup my apps just in case and MyBackup Pro for contacts etc. but haven't needed to use it.

After you flash that (if you want to root the phone) go to this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and get CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4.zip. Put that in PDA and flash it.

To get rid of the yellow triangle, follow this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14283369&postcount=2.

That's it. Thanks for all your help guys!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
ok so lets say I chose new stock firmware to avoid the triangle,then later wanted to be official,could i plug my phone into kies and updatd to official 2.3.4 without problems?

i would like to try oranges firmware without rooting the device and voiding my warranty!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkneill:
Understand now, 1 more question my stock rom 2.3.3 it is xwkf1 Singapore version thinking to flash it to the lastest 2.3.4 Europe/ USA rom does it support chinese?
[HTC EVO 3D] Apollo1010:
I'm having a hard time turning my phone on while its charging. It is difficult otherwise, but impossible during charging. Am I the only one with this issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] Fadakar:
I literally just experienced this, so frustrating. Especially with a case.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Are you rooted and have clockwork? There are issues with it with power when off, not charging and could be result kept it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Apollo1010:
I don't have clockwork, have the other one. Name escapes me currently.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
This is one of the reasons I am going for the SGS2. Most times I have to--have to--do a battery pull to get it to turn back on. Sometimes the SDcard too. Sometimes it doesn't even charge. Sometimes I charge it while on and wake up to a green light, phone locked hard off (requiring battery pull and sdcard pull), and when I boot it up (if I can) the battery is completely dead.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
It's a major issue with the 3d. There have been a ton of threads. And BTW, it happens on rooted AND stock devices. My phone died last night. Took me 32 effin minutes to get it to come back on. One of the reasons I'm getting rid of it

sent from my DAMN 3D!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
2 days before release I stopped into my local Radioshack to play with the demo phone. I saw it turn on, we played with it. Powered off...and never came back on. One of my friends did that eventually too.

...can't say I'm not scared of that happening to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
I can believe it...

How the f this thing made it into production with this big of a software glitch Or whatever the he'll it is riddles me
[HTC EVO 3D] pinky059:
It's not a glitch. For some reason, HTC designed it that way. If the phone is off and rooted, but still connected to some sort of AC power or USB power, the phone is actually in recovery mode, however, the screen just appears black. You wouldn't even know it!! LOL.....but, if you pull the AC power or USB power from the phone, and wait like 5-10 seconds it will boot right up, no problem or issues.

Crazy, huh? It may be a bug with revolutionary root; I reported it to IMFDM or however you spell it and the above is what he told me.

If you noticed, before you were rooted, it wasn't a problem. Don't keep removing the case and pulling the battery, just wait a bit after you pull the plug, It will be good to. Trust me, I go through it regulary!! ;)

Hope that explains it for you guys...and helps you out.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Actually I absolutely noticed this before rooting...but back then I barely ever powered off. Nothing to flash, no way to flash it. I'm pretty sure it was just the same except we had much much much less reason to power off and reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] pinky059:
I never did. I could power it on no problem before rooting. Didn't flash anything (I like Sense, what can i say...)....anyways, I noticed it afterwards and maybe it is true what that guy at AlphaRev said, it is the way HTC designed it for some weird reason....

Not a big deal for me though, now that he told me that...
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
this happens to my coworker that has this phone, and she is NOT rooted. And the above method never worked for me. Ive done that a million times trying to get it back on. Thanks for the tip though..
[HTC EVO 3D] 1BadHEMI:
This has happened to me as well several hundred times it seems! It also did it when the phone was new. We had gone away on vacation like the week after the 3D came out, my phone had died while we were out, I plugged it into the charger, went to power it back on a couple hours later, and NOTHING! Probably took me a good 20-25 minutes to finally get it to come back on, with me eventually pulling the battery. This was stock at the time.

My 2 biggest gripes with the 3D, signal/call quality, and the power on glitch...

They'll fix it don't worry :).

I think the "games not working" Issue maybe that the "INTEROPSERVICES" is no longer supported in WP7 Mango (see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1149186 )
