Hey everyone, i have noticed that my desire s power button seems to be wearing out as its taking more and more pressure to activate it, i bought it second hand but it was fine at the time.. does anyone else experience this or am i just unlucky :(
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
It's a know issue with the desire s.

That's why I use the vol keys to unlock screen and a lock shortcut to lock the screen.
[HTC Desire S] mayurh:
this is not good news

i just a new dS, hope mine lasts

use the lock widget to lock

since im not rooted,yet, i have to use power to on
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@mayurh

You don't need to be rooted to use the vol keys to wake the screen.

I know it works with golocker (need goLauncherEX) and WidgetLocker Lockscreen
[HTC Desire S] mitakser:
It cost me 15euro for the change of the power button here in Bulgaria.

The elements must be cheap because it cost me same for the change of a speaker.
[HTC Desire S] rajamuffin:
I'm having some trouble running the Reaper Rom. My phone is S-OFFed with revolutionary and using Hboot: 0.98.2000. I have been able to succesfully install the MIUI ICS ROM and CM7.

I have formatted and wiped everything from 4EXT recovery and then installed the latest Reaper 2.1. During the first boot it freezes at the ROM loading screen. After about 20 minutes it reboots and this time loads the ROM but then freezes again after about a minute. This then continues in a loop.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems and has any ideas about how I could fix this?

Thanks for any help.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Does this happen each time you clean instal it or just the once?

Possibly try to re-download it again in case you have bad download

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] rajamuffin:
I've tried installing it a few times and always the same problem. The MD5SUM value is correct for the download but is there still a chance it could be bad.

I also tried installing an earlier version Reaper 2.0 but had the same problem with that.

Could it be a specific incompatibilty between something on my phone and Reaper since the other ROMs I've tried all work OK?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No, your phone probably can't handle the default voltage settings. Search my posts on the reaper thread for a "stability patch" I posted for a early version. You're the third person with this problem.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] rajamuffin:
Thanks for the advice, I'll try it tonight. Hopefully it will work since it seems like a graet ROM.
[HTC Desire S] rajamuffin:
Thanks lowveld, the stability patch worked perfectly.

I hope one of them is a good 4-5core phone. I may feal the need to replace my razr. I only got it to get in the unlimited LTE.

I think my bud said a new phone would come by the end of march.

[General Questions and Answers] red12355:
No need for all those cores. A fast dual would be better.
[General Questions and Answers] 4ktvs:
That would be nice if they were 2Ghz dual cores too.

[Windows Mobile Themes] MXT3:
I found this great lockscreen today, but there were some things which bothered me, like the built-in background, so I made my personalized version of it.

Result:

It's very sililar to the original lockscreen, but this is what I changed:

-removed built-in background, so you can choose your own

-cleaned up code and

-moved the clock and appointment, clock and appointment also disappear now when showing the seperate notifications to make room

-3 colors, I could make some more on request (not too many... :D )

Thanks to Cendaryn for the orignal lockscreen

Edit: Version 2

Now when you click on the unlock button to show the notifications, only the appointment disappears, and the notifications show up under the time and date. Maybe there is not enough place for all the four notifications at once, but I have never had this yet, so it shouldn't be a problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Eujin:
Hey,

This looks awesome, however, after installing it, I do not get your lock screen. In fact, I get the old school WM6.1 lock screen with just the unlock button.

I'm running a Touch Pro 2, and I know there are sometimes some crazy HTC customizations.

Would you be able to list the registry entries you make and maybe the lock screen image files/directions so I could manually place them?

Sadly, after installing it, and then uninstalling it, I now no longer have the 6.5 lockscreen back, either. :(

But I'd rather switch to yours anyway.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MXT3:
First of all, sorry for the late respone, and thank you for your intrest.

I don't exactly know why it shows up the winmo 6 lockscreen. Which version of windows mobile are you using, 6.5, or 6.5.3? Maybe I am using some property for the auto-hide of the appointment wich only works on 6.5.3...

But I understand what went wrond when uninstalling: on installation, it simply overwrites the existing locksreenfiles, and there is no back-up (I don't even know if it's possible to make back-ups with cabs, if somebody knows, please tell me). So on unistallation, your entire lockscreen is gone :D I have made a cab to reinstall the htc lockscreen meanwhile.
[Windows Mobile Themes] himura05:

[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
from the specs I've seen on the ville, I really don't think it's an upgrade, in fact It looks like a downgrade from the amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Downgrade? Its a quad core phone...
[HTC Amaze 4G] TricH:
Its 1.5 ghz dual core. You are thinking of the HTC edge that is quad core
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
its 1.5ghz dualcore s4 processor. which completely DESTROYS the s3 processor in everyway. amoled screen with QHD resolution, super thin. ICS and sense 4.0

Downgrade?? how so? im curious
[HTC Amaze 4G] unittdot:
Seems like the batterys are getting smaller and smaller
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Ohhh that's right! I'm sorry I got confused.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
Quadcore doesn't mean anything. I also think the ville is a downgrade from the amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Lol quad core... That's like using a server to power notepad. Dual Core is plenty for a phone. Quad Core would be for people to say they have something new. What would anybody possibly need quad Core for?

Ville isn't much different. I'll be good for a while
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
yeah the s4 will make our s3 processor look like a peice.. but i wouldnt care to upgrade when the tegra 3 is around the corner with 5 cores and more battery optimized. no thanks, also has a lower mp front facing cam. im happy with my amaze for now :)

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

actually i thought the same until i read up on the tegra 3. its actually more battery optimized then our dual cores. its the way the cores work and what not. you can read up on it on the nvidia site, its pretty sweet.

edit: http://pressroom.nvidia.com/easyir/...prid=819304&releasejsp=release_157&xhtml=true

"Tegra 3 processor provides up to 3x the graphics performance of Tegra 2, and up to 61 percent lower power consumption" my point. it will be more powerful, with better battery-life. that sounds nice, right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hurrpancakes:
The processor pretty much a straight upgrade, as is the screen, but I don't think I'll be posting $500+ to get one
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
super amoled is crap if its pentile, even at 720p on the galaxy nexus, pentile screens suck ass...i've seen it... hsdpa goes up to 21 mpbs as oposed to amazes 42. I really don't care about processors at this point...there's basically no point of having a dual core processor more than 1.0 ghz if the rom and kernel are able to utilize it well... I don't even get the point of faster processors, are you trying to render adobe photoshop on there???

let's not talk about software here because most newer htc phones will get ICS... Time will only tell...I honestly don't see a reason to upgrade to a ville...My personal opinion only. you can disagree.

I would save my money and wait for the next one if you ask me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
only thing i like about super amoled are the blacks, they look so deep, and on my amaze theyre pretty washed out looking compared to the gnex and my brothers galaxy s2.

i REALLY want a 720P screen :mad:
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
agreed only thing good about amoled is the deep black, I actually think LCD is much better in sunglight!!! I used my brothers super amoled vibrant vs my amaze, same webpage, both on high brighness the lcd is waaay better in sunglight...but hands down the best screen must go to the iphone ips lcd screen even the super lcd on the rezound with more pixels per inch does not even compare to the iphone screen...I also compared the rezound to my amaze screen I could not even tell the difference!!! a lot of things play a role in screen quality. super amoled PLUS (non pentile its rgb matrix) looks great if only they could get it to 720p, That's what I'll be waiting for!!! still retina display is hard to beat every single phone i've taken to the apple store to compare to the iphone screen just seems to be completely inferior, my friends galaxy nexus, and his buddy's rezound both at 720p, super amoled, super lcd, no matter what they're all inferior to the iphone screen...that's one thing i'm envious when it comes to the iphone...
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
that dam iphone screen is so frrgggkknn TINY!! lol

all those pixels just packed in there makes for that insane PPI. another thing, i took my brothers galaxy s2 and we compared the same video and the same timing, 720P quality video....why does his look better?? i have a smaller screen with More pixels :mad:
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
it doesn't matter how tiny it is or not the rezound has a better PPI, means more pizels per inch, but it still doesn't look as crisp as the iphone!!! rezound 342 ppi and iPhone 4s 326 ppi. so means rezound packs more pixels than the 4s but 4s looks much better, its the IPS lcd which I think is proprietery to iphones, the other lcds are super LCD's made by sony which are good but do not come close to IPS lcd technology
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
my apologies, i thought the iphone had more ppi than the rezound, whoops

so the ips lcd on the iphone is was makes the picture itself more sharp/crisp? i definitely thought it would be the pixels itself and not the type of display :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] hurrpancakes:
Doesn't the g2x have ips as well?
[HTC Amaze 4G] squish099:
Yes it does.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
yea you're right actually so guess not proprietery.... but it seems the ppi is way low!!! 480 by 800 is almost half the ppi as the iphone!!! I havn't seen the g2x screen yet, but how is the vibrancy of the screen, that would explain why ips could perhaps be better than super lcd!!! it terms of viewing angle i think amoled usually wins

anyways i think we're streering off the main topic lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
awk... i got it confused with the edge too... :P still though good to see HTC goin strong with t-mobile, hopefully i will have tons of options for an upgrade when that time comes :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
My Friend has the G2X....HORRID screen, viewing angles look terrible, all white, washed out, and "Mliky" looking, idk if its just his device, but just by barely turning the phone it starts to get washed out.

if hes 10 feeet away and im looking at his screen from an angle i literally cannnot make anything out thats on his screen. almost looks ALL white.

reason why i skipped over the G2X
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I hope so.... It sounds silly though. Although the article was interesting. Thanks for posting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] squish099:
It's gotta be his phone. The screen on mine is beautiful, vibrant, and has very little light bleed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
for all you people thinking about getting the ville, reconsider: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/nvidia-officially-brands-tegra-3s-five-core-quad-core-architect/

id wait for the tegra 3 to hit phones. i was thinking about upgrading to one of the new Sony phones but i think ive changed my mind. especially for you people who think batterylife is important while like having a powerful device i think this would be perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brady747:
I'm just curious from those of you who flashed, how is ICS implemented? There was some criticism of ICS replacing the 'menu' button and removing hardware buttons. Do the leaked rom builds use 'software' buttons also or are those functions coded to our hardware buttons (this is my assumption). Does the hardware menu button do anything (i.e. is it linked to 'menus' in apps still?)...how do you feel with the changes in 'search' button functionality in ICS?

I'm hoping to install the ROM myself soon and take a look but don't have the time now and was hoping someone could provide quick thoughts on these issues (I haven't found any reviews or discussions related to this...)

Thanks for any thoughts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
Lol why don't you flash and find out =0 jk lol no the factory buttons are still in use I believe only new ICS phones from niw on will have on screen buttons everything as far as hardware buttons work normally only thing different is screenshot is home and volume down
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brady747:
Yeah, i tried to pre-empt that suggestion obviously :P thanks for feedback, i guess im just gonna have to try it and find out what software isnt working and how search and menu are integrated into the OS and apps. Im not really thrilled with what they did with the buttons going forward actually...we'll see. thanks

Good.I hardly use the camera cos the light should work automatically,like the flash in a normal camera.

Ive tried about 7 custom roms and kernels in the last 2 weeks and they all have problems.Ive come to the conclusion that dkv06-1113 with optimized stock rom speeds up system and more importantly-stuff continues working.

App removal

Startup optimizing

Memory optimizing

The only thing I miss would be a slight increase in speaker volume(not full- on xloud which thrashes your speaker).

My nook was broken. After connecting to nook seria port, I saw that the u-boot hangs when accessing emmc. I modified u-boot. Removed from it all references to emmc. I also changed the startup script and now u-boot, in any case runs uImage and uRamdisk from microsd. And my nook alive. Now I can install cyanogen to microsd. To do this, change the initramfs. Here is a link to the modified u-boot.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstu23:
Okay, i've read the very informative thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1064894&page=9

But am unable to post there, being a noob. So, here goes. My question has been answered already, but only partially. After a debrand, can the handset subsequently have the software updated routinely via Kies as it becomes available from Samsung?

The reason I say it has been partially answered already is because people are saying 'Yes, we will make the software available.' I need to know that it can be done via the normal route via Kies so that if I sell the handset on the new owner doesn't need to go searching for files to download and then have to do anything other than what they would have to do with a stock unbranded handset.

Cheers in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menace1234:
Yes, once debranded (using stock firmware) you will be able to get updates by Kies. Though, personally I would do it manually using ODIN and the latest firmware from samfirmware - you can search this forum for both.
