I've got a small issue. Whenever I am watching a YouTube video and I use app switching to respond to a text message, when I return to the video it has lost all of the loaded video and has to rebuffer. Is there a fix for this as it is very inconvenient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
That's how the app is written.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NintendoSpy:
That's what I thought. Its extremely annoying though, for an OS trying to do multitasking it doesn't really make sense.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo4uo:
I recently ran across an article about Lenovo K800 being the first cell phone housing an Intel Atom proccessor and possible being ran with Ice Cream Sandwich. Does this mean that their will eventually be an ICS port for netbooks housing an Intel Atom proccessor. I did a search and did not find much on this topic and my knowledge goes as far as being a script kiddie. I guess I am thinking out loud. If this has been discussed already my appoligies.

Thanks,
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Hi all,

I've been trying to update my HTC Desire S for a few days.

I want to update from Android 2.3.3 to 2.5 but I can't get it to work.

I will try to provide you with as much info as possible.

I have a rooted phone and I've also made backups of my ROM and apps using clockworkmod and titanium backup.

Now, if I try to update from within Android (I get a message sayin an OTA update is waiting for me) then it will reboot, but get stucked at the infamous white triangle with yellow exclamation mark.

Next thing I tried is booting in recovery mode and select apply update from zip file.

This gives me a whole list of errors, and I thought the update file was corrupt.

Note that every time the phone gets stucked I remove the battery, otherwhise I can't boot the phone again.

Now, I deleted the update from my sdcard and downloaded it again. Tried the same steps but nothing happened.

Last time I tried to get into recovery mode it got stuck at the pink T-Mobile logo. I'm looking at this screen for half an hour now.

To make a long story short:

- Update from 2.3.3 to 2.5

- Carriër: T-Mobile (NL)

- Phone: HTC Desire S

- ROOT: YES!

- HBOOT: 6.98.1002

- RADIO: 3805.06.02.03_M

I hope anyone is able to help me with this, right now I don't know what my phone is doing, and I cannot use it.

Best regards,

Marcoevich
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Ok, I've removed the battery and managed to boot it again.

Now, I renamed the update file to update.zip and put it in the rood of my sdcard.

I got into recovery mode again, tried update from zip file on sdcard. Here's the error I got:

assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"). "0000000" , "1111111" , "2222222" , "3333333" , "4444444" , "5555555" , "6666666" , "7777777" , "8888888" , "9999999" , "T-MOB003") == "t"

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
If you can get into recovery again I would recommend trying to restore your back up. You should not try to apply an OTA update to a rooted phone at all, you could have got a 2.5 update from a thread here. Sorry I can't help more but as far as I know you really need to get into recovery and get the back up restored or try and flash a new ROM.
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Yeah, try a custom rom out there. Saga3D v4 is based on official desire s sense 3 update. Official ota can't work because hboot needs to ne updated (new partition table), and revolutionary hboot (6.98.0002) can't be overwritten by ota. Plus official ota needs stock recovery. Clockworkmod, 4ext recovery won't work. So either restore your backup or try a custom rom

Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Quattro :p
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Ok thx. Didn't knew i couldn't apply an OTA over a rooted ROM. I thought I would only lose my root after update.

But I've done some research in the meantime. I think I'm gonna flash the latest coredroid ROM, that one looks very promising :)
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Thx again for your help, but I got one more question.

First i'd like to test the original htc OTA. So a workaround for that is restore my backup from before I rooted the phone.

The only thing is, will I be able to go back to the rooted ROM afterwards? OR do I need to root it again?
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Well that is a little more complicated. The problem applying ota isn't the rooted rom, it is the custom recovery. Ota needs stock recovery to work.

And if you restore stock recovery and apply ota, your only possibility to root will be using htcdev unlock and permanently losing your warranty. (Htc will register your serial number and will be able to say that you voided your warranty)

Better using a custom rom.

Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Quattro :p
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Lol, I didn't saw that one comming :)

If I go to the htcdev site, I get the idea that HTC supports software development, and that it will repair phones even if they are rooted. So what's the point here? Why can't I 'normally' root my phone after upgrade to android 2.5?
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Ok, to make things more clear for myself and others, I've done a conversation with an employee of the Dutch customer care department. I've translated the conversation to English, so you can understand it.

Here you go:

You are now connected with Susan.

Susan: Dear Marcoevich, thank you for your contacting HTC customer support.

Susan: What is your question exactly?

Marcoevich: Hey susan

Marcoevich: I will explain

Marcoevich: I have a rooted Desire S with Android 2.3.3

Marcoevich: Now I get an OTA update to Android 2.5 and Sense 3.0

Marcoevich: that update should be easy to apply when I restore a backup from Before my root

Marcoevich: But if I then go back to a custom ROM it is another story

Marcoevich: according to my friends at xda-developers I should do that with the htcdev unlock tool.

Marcoevich: but then I will lose all my warranty

Marcoevich: is that right?

Susan: Yes, if the unit is rooted u will void the warranty on your device. I understand that you have done this already?

Marcoevich: It is. but I think I read somewhere that HTC supports software development, and will fix rooted phones since August last year

Susan: HTC repairs the phones as usual, but the costs will be payed by the customer.

Marcoevich: Ah I see.

Marcoevich: What's the difference between a normal root or unlock the recovery using the htcdev tool? Because according to xda-developers I am losing my full warranty

Susan: It is exactly the same. No mather how you root the phone, you always lose the warranty.

Marcoevich: Hmm ok sin..

Marcoevich: I have one more question

Marcoevich: it is possible to restore your phone using a backup from before you rooted it.

Marcoevich: Can anyone, after I do this, see afterwards that it was a rooted phone?

Susan: I can give no answer. If a technician can see that the device has been rooted, it will be outside warranty. It is up to the repairers from Dynafix to determine this eventually.

Marcoevich: ok fine:) Thanks for your time!

Susan: Can I help you with anything else today?

Marcoevich: No, I understand now, I think

Marcoevich: thanks for your help!

To make a long story short: No matter how you root it, you will always lose your full warranty.

That's good to know ;)

Edit: One more question remains: If I restore my phone with a backup from BEFORE I rooted it, will someone be able to see that it was a rooted phone?

Thanks in advance!

Marcoevich
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
As I understand it, no.

If you root it using htcdev they will have a record that you accepted their terms and conditions and rooted the phone thus voiding your warranty. If you have rooted using another method (Revolutionary for example) they have NO record that the phone was ever rooted.

You SHOULD be able to either restore your back-up (I'm not sure if this will bring it right back to stock, how did you make the back-up if it wasn't rooted?) or alternatively flash the stock rom you originally had from this site. There are threads on doing this right, and it will return your phone to stock, no one will be able to tell it was once rooted and you can then also download and apply the OTA update. I'm not quite sure why you might want to do that though as there are roms available here based on the ota update already, and much more exciting roms available as well. You should try some of these first before losing root with the ota update.

Also in future or for others reading this with similar situations: as Floatshow said I think the problem is partly caused by the revolutionary hboot being changed to 6.98.000, which the phone sees as higher than the ota roms hboot - to avoid this kind of problem it might be best to flash a new hboot - there are threads on this in the development section.

Good luck!
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Thank you 4myphone! You explained it very clear ;)

I made a backup using ROM Manager of my stock ROM. I hope the hboot etc is included in such a backup?

Thx for your explanation, I understand it now and if I ever have to send my phone to HTC I will use this site to return my phone to stock. I'm glad that it's possible ;)

Best regards,

Marcoevich
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Good question! I don't know if the hboot is part of the backup, it certainly doesn't change when you switch roms. I'd guess that restoring a back up would not change the hboot but I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Let me know if you test it :)
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Nope. The hboot would NEVER be included in the recovery backup.

do we really need another kernel. There is just too much development here and I don't have the time to keep up. This is crazy.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ECOTOX:
No we really dont.....but i also am not gonna be as active as others and I'm a bit more conservative on features. You guys want the latest greatest stuff use Glados or Matr1x =3 This is my personal kernel i decided to share
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:

I'm looking for battery life first, quickness second.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ECOTOX:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Mdorty:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Is the green flash on this kernel... Every kernel I use has it. It's a simple yes or no question.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
The user creates the green flash by adjusting the colors to low. Again it has nothing to do with the kernel or the rom, or ICS. This was a issue when Gingerbread was around.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Isspooh:
Lol, been a long day man, thanks. P.S. your kernel is a beast! I would recommend voltage controls for Set CPU because your voltages might be a tad off for 1000-1400. When switching to lazy gov, screen locks up and graphics split and flickers, but I'm sure could be fixed easily. Other then that, your FPS on benchmarks = win! Awesome job, and I'll be your official Guinea Pig as of now because your kernel is perfect for my phone use.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
does it do it on smartass too? if so its not the volts, I know what it is and ill fix soon
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Isspooh:
Nope just lazy. Smartass is great. Not quite as smooth but pushed 3100+ quadrant. Cleared some internal cache and it helped but on Smartass the live wallpapers do show skipping a little. Anything I can do to help let me know.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
thats all i needed to know =]....lazy has been giving me alot of problems =/ idk why, but ill figure it out

ps, I dont like user configurable voltage cause in my experience its less stable
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Isspooh:
Awesome, I'll eagerly await the update :).

And I understand on the voltage control, more people can do harm then good if they dont know what they are doing. Worked on a kernel with my Epic, but since then I haven't had time for my NS4 so VC makes me feel in control a little, lol.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
looks like screen crap only happens at 1400mhz
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Isspooh:
So far adjustments from the base specs has yielded HUGE difference in the performance. Nenamark went from 47-48fps to 55.4 and 56.1fps. The UI is much more responsive and the screen transition in the drawer and apps I'm general is butter :). Gonna play around and see what other adjustments can be made.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
cool app, whats it called??? kernel tweaks?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shark_On_Land:
What is the scary gov? Is it an improved smart ass? Or something completely different?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Isspooh:
Its in the performance settings (kernel tweaks) of Rom Toolbox Pro. A lot of times these base numbers for a kernel are way off and the rty and Dirty Background ratios pre-sets badly need attention most of the time. As shown, my Quadrant, Nenamark, and Smartbench #'s all went up, but the UI is instant with opening apps now; had some lag at boot with SD scan, and apps hesitated to open about 2 seconds, but all that is now smooth and snappy :).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
I mean disable it in deep idle not disable in general xP it will still work fine
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zyrtek69:
From what I understand top on is when u have something running like bluetooth,GPS and top off is when all those are off. Both are deep idle. Google has changed BT a little so that is connects much quicker but that means when u turn it off its not totally off so it can pick up connection much quicker next time. Thus u would only get top on. I'm on the new aokp 17 and I get top on and off.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
This is deep idle from the mouth of the man that created it. In a nutshell deep idle is only really for people that use screen off apps like music, music streaming, bt, etc. It was made to conserve battery for that type of use so if you are not a regular user of those types of applications you probably will see little to any benefit from it. I ran it for weeks when he first implemented last year and couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting this improved battery life people were claiming. Well it was because I do not use any screen off applications except tethering my phone to my stereo in my car which usually only gets used 20 minutes a day, to and from work. I actually found that turning it OFF worked better for me and saw better battery life not running it. Just depends on your use.
