S vs X

I'd go with the S as well :)

I'm sure the X really IS a better phone, but at what price?

Although, you have to weigh in how it's going to be used.

I know several ppl spending almost all their time in cars (sales),

with constant access to a charger. They don't care about bad batteries...

Speaking of battery - don't we all charge our phones once a day, wether it's empty or not?

Wright or wrong - At least I do :D

Bad news for all the people who are interested the One S (like me) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1589364 I know this has been posted before, but this XDA thread is full of people going crazy about this stuff. You advertise a phone as "Scratch Proof" and "Made with Satellite Grade Metal", and give this, a coating which chips of for no reason whatsoever. Plus, it's shocking that even a month after release, there has been no fix/official statement made by HTC. WTF. In every other aspect, it's better than the X (for me). Even development is picking up for this device :(
[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:
Argh!

Argh... And I was actually considering one! :( (no phun intended)

The more I read about this phone the more I wanted one. 'till now, that is.
[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
Men are you living on Mars or something???

HTC made an official statement on this a couple of weeks ago and has accepted to (and actually has done) replace any device that shows chipping.....

Oops

Nope, but I'm haven't been around mobile forums for quite a while.

Anyway, that's great news, even if they are a couple of weeks old! ;-)

Just played with the one X, lovely hardware,

Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
[HTC Desire S] xxmorph3u5xx:
So did i, one x is superb and the specs are impressive, but (from a tactile and first impresssion point of view) the one s blew me off my feet..the sensation of that case is incredible, the one x's chassis feels like plastic when holding both in your hand compared to the one s and it's soooo slim (but at the same time feels firm and well put together in your hand). Even though the one x has better specs and hardware i would choose the one s just because of the way it fits the palm of your hand. Anyway, i think a purchase decision shouldn't be made before holding and playing around on both.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
I ll buy a one x

It has a larger screen

5 core will help a lot and with a good kernel it will be the best phone for a lot of years

[HTC Desire S] tasos12:
So far I have been able to play only with the one X and I must say that i was impressed.The size was not so big that I could not tolerate.Unfortunately the phone was attached with cord to a wall to avoid someone stealing it so I cant be 100% sure how it fits on my hand although I held it sort of.

Certainly I will not make any decision unless I have the chance to play with the One S as well.

Unfortunatelly that is not available yet in my town but hopefully this week will be.

I am puzzled by the small size of the memory though and the price difference is not too big from One X (its around 50 euros)

Hey all,

I was wondering if any kind, experienced users out there would be willing to help talk me through the flashing process for my specific situation. My cappy is currently rooted, running the last version of the Firefly froyo ROM (released last April). As such, I have clockwork recovery all ready to go. But I am confused by the switch from 2.2 to 4.0, and if there is anything extra I need to do besides Tibu backup, wipe data and cache, and then flash the new ROM using clockwork recovery. Do I need to flash a 2.3 ROM first? Is Tibu going to give me problems? Should I revert to stock first? Odin to update bootloaders? Heimdall? I'm so confused and I can't risk the brick!!

I know this may be a complicated question, so if someone wants to DM me instead, that would be amazing. Essentially, I'm looking for a step-by-step explanation of how to get from Firefly, a 2.2 ROM, to teamhacksung's ICS or another ICS ROM, and retaining my apps and data and with the smallest chance of flashing complications.

Any good samaritans out there? THANK YOU!

Alright you always need gingerbread boot loaders, then you can install a kernel with cwm and then just flash the rom, when I get home I can explain to more detail, hard to type it all out on my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
I can't say you NEED gingerbread bootloaders, but they are highly recommended since once you flash them, there is never a need to flash them again, and certain ICS roms and kernels may require them. The easiest way to get them is to grab an Odin/heimdall gingerbread one-click with bootloaders; find in the dev section. You currently have ClockworkMod recovery, so you should be able to flash the zips from there. Since you are on a non-CM ROM, you will probably have to flash it twice.

Right sorry about this but I'm having a little problem trying to flash the Sony Beta so I can flash another ROM. Basically, I've just unlocked bootloader and then I go on to the next bit that says flash these three images separately etc...

Anyway I go to flash the first image and cmd just hangs on "waiting for device".

I think I've got it all set up right. I'm guessing I need it in the mode where I hold search when I plug it in and the blue light comes on right?

Anyway I'm guessing I'm missing something very easy. Help would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggyhead:
did you put in into fast boot? hold the search key for a bit then plug in usb, the blue light will then turn on and you'll hear your usb noise. Then you hold SHIFT on the folder of fastboot and of course flash it, it will run after that

nah it should only take a sec for the boot img and depending on file size of the system etc it should take a min but the fast boot cmd would give you any errors if something went wrong

if you unlocked it then its unlocked, which you can verify by the blue light if it stays on while the usb if plugged try that method ^ and see how that goes if it doesn't let me know

also you can try another method which i did but im a cdma user and i used dooms kernal by flashing of course then installed official sony then back into fast boot and install stock kernal which booted up fine but cdma users have bugs no texting etc so i just went back to stock,

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] LibiSC:
SOME IMPORTANT INFO:

there is an excel file in attachments that shows how battery behaves based on the method

calculate_batt_voltage

the method makes sense cause the difference between real (voltage dc) and voltage used to calculate percentage is little in high values and big in lower values.

Values are constants in source code.

So i didn't change the method, just changed the lowest value used. I tried to change highest value but it is regulated somewhere else, I haven't found where yet.

Source in attachment ( i didnt do much really)

Also pics of the battery life I achieved ( first time i've gotten these values so i think that my kernel works)

i saw it in some post for a while ago. Right now I'm focusing on the source code to figure how it works, I haven't worried on that yet. Maybe it can't be done on ace, so first things first. Thanks for the info.

Edit: found these constants in the source and it's different from what i found (mV instead of percentage).

#define BATT_LOW_VOLT	3400

#define BATT_LEVEL1_VOLT	3550

#define BATT_LEVEL2_VOLT	3690

#define BATT_LEVEL3_VOLT	3730

#define BATT_LEVEL4_VOLT	3770

#define BATT_LEVEL5_VOLT	3850

#define BATT_LEVEL6_VOLT	3950

#define BATT_FULL_VOLT	4200

#define BATT_RECHAR_VOLT	4140

#define BATT_LOW_ADC	2315

#define BATT_LEVEL1_ADC	2606

#define BATT_LEVEL2_ADC	2838

#define BATT_LEVEL3_ADC	2908

#define BATT_LEVEL4_ADC	2972

#define BATT_LEVEL5_ADC	3127

#define BATT_LEVEL6_ADC	3281

#define BATT_FULL_ADC	3632

#define BATT_RECHR_ADC	3550

So there is a difference between BATT_FULL_VOLT and BATT_FULL_ADC. So that's why the battery percentage goes down so fast after you unplug the charger. So the question is. Would be a bad thing if a tweak those values a little...let's say 4000 for FULL_ADC...BATT_FULL_VOLT should not change i guess or the battery will explode.

I will change battery checking frequency from 10 secs to 2 secs

Edit2: I will try the new values. if gettin it right the battery would charge in 'charging state' for little longer.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] mdfzhi:
the BATT_FULL_VOLT were never use because thats the actual full charge capacity of the battery. in kernel code that value wasnt use because its dangerous to actually fully charge the battery 100%, they need to reserve for worse case scenario like sudden overvoltage etc. instead they just use the BATT_RECHAR_VOLT as the replacement value.

if u want modified 1% percentage battery steps u can look into my sourcepatch. it works but a little buggy because i dont calculate the voltage seriously.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] LibiSC:
Actually i think the battery reaches 4200 at some point and the circuits close to stop receiving voltage but still markin 100%...thats why you can let your phone all night.

There are other ways to protect the battery in te code like the temperature.

Also saw that the overvoltage value is 4300mV for them in constants and the previous or test value of full adc voltage was even lower before.

Thats why i think wont be that harmful to raise the value of adc voltage 100mV or 200mV.

I will check your source. Thanks for the info.

EDIT: So i think i gonna use coolya's kernel source code and patch your changes and make the battery voltages. I want a source that can be compile... I think something is missing in the samsung source i downloaded.
