HTC Incredible S/Stock ROM

Sense 2.1/2.3.3 (INDIA)
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Your warranty becomes null and void the moment you unlock the bootloader using Alpharevx or Revolutionary methods. It even becomes void if you use htcdev.com method to install recovery (with a still locked boot). Obviously, if you use a xtc clip to permanently unlock the bootloader also, you warranty becomes void. So bottom line: Locked phone with stock ROM = still in Warranty. Any unlock to change ROM = No Warranty, unless you want to resell or try to get a refund / exchange. IMHO, unlock & root is like a schoolgirl losing her virginity nowadays, not a big issue and they try to achieve it the fastest, best and most pleasurable way!!!

Most of us Indians are using unlock by Alpharevx or Revolutionary and thereafter running a sense 3.0 3.5 ROM. I would personally recommend ARHD, its fast, stable and gives good reception & battery life.

Thanks for the Response!

Does all hardware ( Bluetooth, WIFI, camera etc) are working fine in ARHD? Is it possible to get official OTA update after switching to ARHD? I would like to use sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.5, please suggest me which rom is best (No Major Issues and almost all are working fine)

Thanks

warranty in india isn't a issue after a year mostly unless u have extended warranty correct ?

using htcdev method and the others mentioned above.. is it possible to unroot to stock for updating it if any needed ?
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Evwrything works! And has bells & tweaks like CRT screen off animation, beats audio, circle battery mod, etc.

EDIT-

There is a really good thread in the section of HTC Inc S General (this very section), on Hboot versions 2.0, 1.6 and 1.3 and how various root methods prevents the OTA from writing to boot sector.

Here is the latest update from HTC india regarding sense 3.0 update in their facebook page.

"Good morning folks! We know you've all been waiting for the updates and sincere apologies for having kept you waiting. The updates for HTC Incredible S were live since January 3' 2012 but as most of you stated that you hadn't received it, we had our R&D team working on it again. We have been able to single out the issue and we are happy to announce that the updates for HTC Incredible S will be live from today evening. As far as the HTC Desire HD is concerned, the updates for it were also live but encountered the same issue as Incredible S. We're also working on them to ensure that they go live by the next week. Please rest assured as we give it our best to ensure that our customers don't encounter any inconvenience. Thanks a lot for being a part of the HTC family and supporting us"

Guys, to get the official Update , does the phone need to have to be in any mobile network(say airtel, vodafone) or just a wifi without any mobile signal is enough.

The problem is from yesterday night after coming back from roaming status, i am getting error as "com.android.phone" is stopped unexpectedly. It is coming very often. I am not even able to select any mobile network as it is greyed out. I dont know how to recover this but i am trying and hope if the official update is released tonight , it might solve the issue. :( :(

Any help would do a big favour for me to help me get back my phone alive

Dear Samsung,

Before us, you were a nobody in the Android Arena. HTC and Motorola ruled the landscape. We turned around your fortunes. Ice Cream Sandwich is touted as the biggest change to Android in a long time. Its beautiful, its fast and we want it. After reading this we are disappointed. You say that our hardware will not support it, we ask you how does the similarly specced Nexus S run it so smoothly? You say our hardware is insufficient to run Ice Cream Sandwich along with your TouchWiz smoothly. We will remind you that we have one of the best GPU's around. Given that ICS supports hardware acceleration, we feel that you are being a bit lazy with your coding. We are sure you can manage to make even a TouchWized ICS run smoothly on our devices. If you remember the HTC Desire, HTC had said that it would not run Sense UI and Gingerbread. After a lot of uproar, HTC decided to give their users the option of running an unskinned Gingerbread on their Desires. It voided their users' warranty, but at least it gave them an option. Since most of your Galaxy S devices will already be out of warranty or almost out of warranty, we feel we deserve at least this much. Bring a de-Touchwized Ice Cream Sandwich to our devices. Its the least you can do. Yours Sincerely,

The Galaxy S Family

I've been on ICS since a month. Tried out all the ports. Its not for me. Its for people who don't want to or cant dabble in custom ROM's, which is pretty much 99% of the 15M+ SGS users.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wGRV:
TouchWiz my a##!! We don't need useless touchwiz UI with ICS, as it makes ICS look ugly. I am cursing myself now that I should have waited for SE Neo instead of going for SGS !! Now our devs are our only hope!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jobiza:
We won't get ICS and we won't see samsung update without touchwiz. Ofcourse Samsung uses touchwiz on every new and older phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aatifsumar:
HTC uses Sense UI in each and every device of theirs. Yet they made an exception with the HTC Desire and offered their users a way to upgrade to GB and remove Sense.

Why? because if i9023 (Nexus S) receives the upgrade,and it is, then why should not i9001(0) get the upgrade to?because the technical specifications of the i9001 exceeds specifications of i9023 (http://www.gsmchoice.com/en/porownanie/5020/5023/5101/0/)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxySN00B:0:
yeah but if there was a official Rom put out, then it would save the Devs the headache of having to build the Roms themselves using resources off other devices, they could then focus on the actual speed and reliability of the Rom instead of having to go through the headache of trying to port everything to the phone themselves :P

Instead of signing petitions, why not all of us just posted at their Facebook, Twitter and their customer service support. Seeing since so many (like 5000+) had signed the petition. If the 5000+ went to spam their facebook and twitter I guess somehow they will notice it?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ardethian:
Join us in our cause to make Samsung support their customers, rather than just spit in their faces.

We've spent our well earned money on a device that was clearly overestimated, and now it's manufacturer thinks it can just throw it all away and not support our needs for a brand new Operating System which we have been waiting for for months.

Apple has always been supporting it's customers by enabling them to upgrade features and whole Operating Systems even if they own much older devices (up to 2 years back), I wouldn't want to think Samsung isn't capable of the same thing.

Join our cause and be heard.

P.S.

I would also like to post the petition link on this page, does anyone know who's the person who thought about it so we can work together on this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
They can't come up with a valid excuse else than financial ones not to put out an offical ICS rom. If it's purely financial, it means they're just treating customers like money bags. If that's the case, customer outrage is perfectly acceptable and justifiable.

So, outrage everywhere i'd say. The noisier we are more chances there will be someone actually listens.

Don't be shy, spam everywhere. Samsung's facebook, tweeter, customer support, every petition available, etc. That's what i'm doing. And if they still aren't doing anything, i'll just change my brand. Plenty of android devices (or even apple?) to chose from. No one cares for a company who doesn't care for his customers so screw them.

By the way, OP is well written and explains everything someone should expect them to do in this situation, well done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivanvava:
I agree with everyone, and further more, this is not a cheap device, it's still a high end device just 15 months old.

If you buy an expensive phone on 24 month contract next time, should it be Samsung?

I guess we already spent the money so there's no need to court us. I'm not sure I would do it again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] telep:
For next phone i have two choices:

1) Buy high end android phone and be in same lame ass situation like this one

2) Buy iPhone and be settled for three years

What do you think i will do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
For me the disappointing thing about all this is Samsung's insistence on such a heavy Touchwiz layer on top of ICS.

When I saw ICS I hoped they might abandon TW as so many features from that were implemented in ICS anyway.

I had decided to upgrade my SGS to a SGS II to get ICS as it is a superior device to the Nexus S in my opinion.

Then I saw the ghastly overlay of TW which just drags ICS down. All this just forces me to go the custom ROM route to get a version of ICS that isn't unnecessarily bloated.

I actually like TW on Gingerbread but now I think Samsung has lost the plot just when they looked set to topple the iPhone.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
ya that's corrects dalvik cache use about 60-70 mb of internal memory and you can move the cache to sd by a2sd script but to use it you have to partition your sd card
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Krishna parmar:
So what partition should I use??

I tried using cwm to partition now it show s only 7 gb when my card is 8 gb how do I bring it back it also does not shows on pc that there are any other partition via mini partition tool...

Atleast tell me what partition should I make and answer the previous question...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] M1hai:
well mine was having 65mb so i cleaned it up...i hope i haven't done anything stupid by deleting all files in that folder:D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
that is because u did a partition of 1gb sd-ext which is a linux partition and will not be shown on windows.

so now u have,

7gb fat partition and

1gb sd-ext : use DTa2sd or any other script to move that dalvik-cache here if u feels it is necessary.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sagarda7:
Ok you can do

1) First partition your SD card by Gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and burn to cd

2) make partition ext2 or ext3 (not FAT) to your SD card and insert

3) Download link2SD application from market

4) Link2SD will detect partition

5) select partition and reboot

6) Now link2SD shows all apps and that helps to move dalvik cache and data to sd card partition, and u will be able to free internal memory

7) Remember, those apps currently installed in SD card need to be moved to phone first then Data and dalvik cache need to be linked to SD card

after linking Cache and data to SD card reboot your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] boredboy2:
link2sd

link2sd recognizes and uses FAT32 partition as well.

I honestly didnt even realise that the epic touch had a GPS problem going on. Mine always locks in less than 10 seconds and says accurate within 6-2m. It usually says 2m but on occasion 4 or 6. what are the symtoms of bad gps? I know it will either not lock on quickly or it wont the correct location. But what tecknically is a slow GPS lock on time to within 6m? Like 30 seconds to a minute? And what is considered not being accurate? Like within 15-30m? Im oretty curious. Maybe my 5-10 second lock on time and 2-6m accuracy is considered a GPS malfunction? I just never use it so i cant really know what is considered good or bad. I know mine uodated my position every half second to tge longest taking a full second when i used the car navigation app after putting in my desired address. Please e, plain :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matase:
GPS never locks on indoors, and it takes at least a minute to lock on outdoors. Also my gps never locks on in a moving car.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elingreen:
GPS should lock outside in a few seconds, it should lock or almost lock indoors within a minute, and it should definitely follow you while driving so that google maps navigation works.

if it is not doing that, take your phone to sprint and get a new one. my GPS was fine when i first got the phone, then a month later it started doing what people complain about, slow lock or no lock, and not following when moving. i complained to sprint twice, paid $35 and got a new phone and now GPS works fine.

the gps tool kit, flashing drivers from the wrong phone, and editing files never gave me a permanent fix. go exchange your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
^This except I didnt have to pay anything (tep)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
Well I've flashed it and it actually works in my experience. I've let me phone sleep for hours and it has been an improvement over previous fixes.

Still intermittent gps though.

How is everyone going about getting a replacement E4GT? I bought mine on launch day if that changes anything.

Is this something I can do over chat?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steindog99:
For those of you with GPS "problems"...try the following fix next time you have issues. Not sure what causes it, but anytime my GPS starts to suck I do the following and it fixes it instantly.

Menu->Settings>Applications>Manage Apps>

Click on the "All" tab

Click on "Maps" -> Clear cache

Back to list of programs

Click on "Network Location" -> Clear cache

Exit back to home and all should work much fast....at least it does for me

Let me know if this works for you guys...
