[HTC Desire S] QA5IS:
I've gone s-off but still haven't rooted. So basically it's as it was when I bought it just s-off.

Am I better to just leave my phone as it is to get OTA update or have I already spoilt my chances of OTA by going s-off?

Swyped from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you've S-OFF'd then you've already invalidated your warranty and you'd be better off simply flashing any one of the custom ROM that's based on the OTA sense v3.0 update. Assuming that you've flashed CWM (custom clockworkmod recovery) when you s-off'd using revolutionary then its easy, otherwise its all still possible!

The customs all have far more than the basic stock and tend to be optimised and tweaked! There are also just pre-rooted stock ROMS

see the INDEX thread for links to them all.

Much better than waiting...........

PROX's sense30 from OTA v2

It's a pain in the a$# not being able to post in dev part before 10 posts...

Anyways, hope someone monitors this thread also.

After an update to "Desire S 3D v2 Official Sense 3.0 - [GRJ90] [2.3.5] OTA 2.10.401.4" from a first one, noticed after install no multilanguage, prior release had all the languages (Croatian).

Since it says multilanguage i'm a bit puzzled, flashed as usual, wipe, cache, dalvik,,,

Any thoughts, anybody?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You could always try More Locale2

I'm not sure if it will work as not running that ROM, but surely worth a try, would suggest taking a backup first, in case it doesn't. I'll post a link to this question in ROM thread for you. so monitor it for answer.
[HTC Desire S] ff|R|eeek:
You're a life saver, you are!
[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
Thanks for that, and maybe you may add, that Titanium Backup is also not included as far as I can see. I don't want to complain, but maybe proxuser just accidently missed some files and is happy to know about.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
if you need it then download from market. I'll add to thread for you.....:) as I'm feeling generous tonight ;)
[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
Yeah thx, ofc I can dl through market as I did. But thouht its not intendended and proxuser may want to know, in the worst case someting more important may also be missing. :eek:

Htc answer

Thank you for contacting HTC.

Unfortunately for the time being we do not have any official information about receiving this update in Greece and kindly be informed that receiving this update it differs from a country to another, from a network operator to another and from a device to another.

If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.:eek::mad::mad::mad:
[HTC Desire S] BenM508:
I just contacted HTC about this, there message back:

Thank you for contacting HTC.

We are very happy to hear of your interest in updates for your HTC Desire S and we appreciate you taking the time to contact us.

We currently don’t have information regarding when or if your device will be updated. For this reason I would suggest you to follow our official website and social media networks for further announcements

So either they are keeping it quiet or the whole update thing is just a false rumour?? I havent seen a single video or screenshot showing the update notification and this makes it look even more false! Really want this update! :(
[HTC Desire S] UserofSeven:
Hello,

I've found here (android-hilfe.de/htc-desire-s-forum/136066-android-2-3-4-htc-sense-3-0-fuers-desire-s-27.html#post2106040) a Chat with HTC (German). I've tried to translate the content:

I: Is there already an official update for Desire S?

HTC: The Server can't send all Updates on one day. So you have to wait.

I: It is better to use wifi or mobile data link? Some people said, that they can't find the update with wifi.

HTC: It's working with both methods.

Sometimes it's better to do a soft-reset. [...]

So I think we only have to wait and wait and wait and... :cool:

Please excuse my bad englisch, it's not my native language! ;)
[HTC Desire S] Bhargava28:
"sorry for the late response.

HTC responded to someone saying that regarding the update at the HTC UK facebook page.
[HTC Desire S] casanostra:
Well, I was trying to post the link to the thread on Facebook, where this actually comes from, but I'm not allowed to. You'll have to search yourselves, but it seems legit.

Also, 3 in the UK has apparently announced the update officially on October 3rd. Haven't seen that mentioned in this thread yet. Can't post that link either - search for "3g uk desire s gets update" on Google.

Hi guys.

I couldn't wait much longer for that update so i rooted my DS, honestly.... Android 2.3.5 HTC Sense 3.0 with Desire S 2.10.401.4 [PROXUSER] its a dream... works much faster, more battery efficient, and as you all seen on Youtube or on other devices Sense 3.0 is what DS should get at first place :)

HowTo is on this forum and it's idiot proof. If You need to send DS for warranty, you can always get S-ON back :)

So good luck

Desire S OTA 2.3.5/Sense 3.0

So while going through the HTC Facebook page i came across some guy who posted a schedule and something like "I work for sfr so I know that this picture is true and yet it is the 2.3.5 to sfr"
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
if this is real then we should be getting an OFFICIAL announcement very soon indeed!:D
[HTC Desire S] Tony Desire S:
the sfr is another push to make us believe that the update is coming .. while HTC Turkey (i always check this one cz it gives information) said when someone asked then about Sense 3.0 update that they don't have an exact wait we have to wait a little more .. they are not saying some aspects won't work and those crap that HTC global page says !!!
[HTC Desire S] ss.stoev:
Just came across another hint about the update this time on the HTC UK Facebook page. Unfortunately my post count is still too low, so I'll share it with you guys like that:

Some guy Lee: In ref to my previous post about the desire s OTA update- can you tell us the truth now, my friend has just got an OTA update on her desire s, that must mean its official now if people are getting the updated pushed to them?

HTC UK: Hi Lee - sorry for the late response. As we said in the original thread, we're still waiting on a full release schedule for the next wave of updates and we will post here once we have the fully confirmed update announcements locked down. Once we have that, we'll be able to confirm which devices will be receiving an update and when. Please hold tight for a little longer - we'll be sharing more information soon.

Battery mod

Just thought somebody could use my battery mod for proxs rom - Desire S 3D v2.1 Official Sense 3.0

flashing is as usual, it's a stock sense battery mod with percentage added, nothing flashy, i like to keep it simple, even though I flashed without a wipe (backup, backup, backup,,,)

Not really the right thread but post count still to low, so if some one want's to move it, go right ahead!

cheers all

No official update notify until now in Greece.
[HTC Desire S] jarmal:
Two weeks have passed since we saw first information about 2.3.5 OTA update. It's long enough to distribute 200MB firmware for every Desire S worldwide. Mind that every android related website had announcement about this except HTC.

There were only few people from different parts of Europe who confirmed that they received new firmware. Currently it seems that this update is not distributed anymore. Check Q&A section - there is a topic without even single confirmation about official OTA update. Same on other Desire S forums. In my opinion new OTA wasn't officially released at all. This narrow group of people who received OTA are obligatory testers of new firmware. HTC can call it distribution policy but they just wait and watch for feedback now. In case of any disaster they have smaller problem to solve. I hope real OTA update starts later this month.
[HTC Desire S] casanostra:
I tend to agree with this. Nothing seems to have happened since late September, and even then only limited groups in Germany and the UK received it.

I'm hoping for an imminent update, but I'm not counting in it. It could be weeks or even months before we get it. If we get it..
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
If so, will people please stop posting "No Update in... Spain, Israel, Norway, Bermuda, Tibet, Outer Mongolia... etc..
[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
which software?

Who will my update come through? Virgin or Three or nothing because:

Phone is originally virgin mobile and unlocked (prev owner)

and im using my three SIM in the phone...

How do i check which 2.3.3 version i have? (virgin/stock etc...)

Cheers

Beans
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Go to "settings", "about phone", "software information" and make a note of the full software number and build number. This should reveal which particular variation of the 2.3.3 ROM you have and people here should know whether it will accept a generic or a particular operator-specific version.

Incidentally, I suspect that previous posters are correct in suspecting that the earlier roll-out to a few people was just an "involuntary beta test". I also suspect that the HTC developers will probably have put that particular task to one side for the moment as they rush to try and deal with the flurry of security issues on HTC phones that hit press recently. On the other hand, the network operators must be giving HTC some heat to get a new version out because of all the complaints that 1.47 in particular is causing.

[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
Sounds logic

Sounds logic that since for over a month now the OTA is not out there for everyone this was just beta testing for some people.

However I am just wondering what will happen if this proves to be a disaster for the people that actually got it.

I mean isnt there a risk for major law suits against HTC is somebody looses valuable data because of the fault OTA?

About Network providers pushing HTC beeing a brother of a former major Vodafone engineer I wouldnt count on it.

They could really care less if your device will be updated and when as long as you pay the bill.......

GSM ARENA

I am not sure if this has a meaning or not but I thought I should share it.

GSM Arena which is mostly a US site is mentioning that our Desire S is using Sense 3.0 and that Android version can be upgraded to 2.3.5.

Of course its talking about brand new device.

Here is the link:http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_s-3776.php
[HTC Desire S] mmarekk11:
Did you noticed that in Opinions and Reviews section somebody wrote that he had upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5. Who knows if he updated it via OTA or root ..hmm. In my opinion via OTA,because he wrote he had upgrade (so it came to him) and not that he upgraded it. But now the question is, why we cant update our devices, even though when brand new DS are now evidently sold with update.

What are the differences between sence 3.0 and 3.5 ?
[HTC Desire S] slvrbllt:
At first sight I'd say that the main difference is "Sense" instead of "Sence" ! :-)

Just kidding, buddy...

Well, Sense 3.5 has been heavily modified so that it is impossible to give you the idea of what has changed by words.

Just look for Sense 3.5 on youtube and you'll get a bright idea of what they're talking about!

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Sense 3.5 builds on the functionality featured in 3.0. I tested it on Runnymede, and quite impressed. Will like to go back to that soon when we get an OTA based ROM...

Hopefully :p
[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
Ok cheers, im pretty sure its virgin mobile cos of the splash screen i get when turning the phone on.

The software no is 1.47.351.2

build no is 1.47.351.2 CL78999 release-keys

pretty sure its the '351' part thats the relevant bit, anyone confirm 351 is virgin mobile??
