I would say yes, The S3 processor is a very powerful processor and certainly packs a punch, But for me, I wanted the One S because it had an S4 processor not S3, Also, there is no root or recovery for the S3 chip so your limited to what you can do with it.

did you flash gapps after flashing the ROM ? http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
[HTC One S] undercover:
S3 is a CPU in Sensation. Are you saying they are putting old msm8620 in some of the One S?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Yes, Not world wide but in certain parts like Asia, There is a shortage of the S4 chip so they are shipping out overclocked S3 chips ! ! Naughty Naughty HTC

[HTC One S] Alie360:
Got a bootloop after flashing cm9 (i've cleared al caches and did a full wipe before flashing).

It's that a common problem or it's just me?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Did you flash the boot.img in fastboot ?
[HTC One S] Alie360:
I flashed it with twrp, doesn't it flash the boot.img automatically?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
well flash it in fastboot also, Then if it still fails to boot we can know for sure that it is not the boot.img at fault.

then we can look a bit deeper

sales of S3-packed One S's are repeatedly reported from Russia and Ukraine. no one knows how far HTC spreads that 'innovation' since there's still no official comments on the matter. :(

agree - very much so.
[HTC One S] someoneusedmyid:
Hi, I've been trying to root my One S, and was following the All-In-One method. Everything was working (managed to unlock the bootloader) until I attempted to boot into recovery after flashing (tried both CWM and TWRP: latest updates), which left me hanging on the loading splash screen with red disclaimer text. Seemed to be a common problem - any ideas?

Thankks.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
The all in one tool doesn't always work for some people, I would suggest you flash the recovery image in fast boot then try to boot into recovery using the option in bootloader
[HTC One S] someoneusedmyid:
Thanks for the prompt reply. Still doesn't work, but from what I've read, the recovery img's may be imcompatible with the One S versions with S3 chips (ie. Australian stock). Thanks though :)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Oh Yes ! You didnt mention you had the S3 version.

I assumed you had the S4, Sorry :( Looks like your in the same boat as many many others :(
[HTC One S] :
Cyanogen doesn't normally include gapps in rom

you need to flash it separate

check their thread, a link must be somewhere

also maybe rom mgr or goo mgr may have download, depending which recovery you are using

a google search would find it probably on cyanogenmod site, the latest i think is March
[HTC One S] Alie360:
Tried to flash the new LiquidSmooth ROM, wiped cache+dalvik, flashed boot.img through fastboot and finally flashed ROM; got a bootloop again :(

Toggle recent apps Button

Hey there,

i've just flashed my HTC One S with the LeeDroid 2.0 and it's working great.

But one thing is disturbing me, i have to long press the home button to get to the recent apps view. I know that there is a setting to switch it back to normal, or so it should, but it doesn't work.

I've already read that many have that problem, is there any solution to that problem?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I think there was an option during the installation (Aroma) to add / remove this feature ?

I recall seeing a mod to add remove this somewhere but i cannot find it anywhere, Maybe post in the Leedroid ROM thread, His ROM hast been updated in a while so someone in there may be able to guide you in the right direction.

I'll keep looking for the mod and ill post it here if i find it :)
[HTC One S] Pheroh:
I was wondering, is there anyway to change the icons of apps without using a computer? If so, how?

I googled it and found an old pc software that changes the icons and then resends the apks but it's so old I don't wanna mess things up.

I am currently running paranoid android (CM based) for what's it worth.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
Hi guys, I dun goofed a bit and need your help. I used Wondershape MobileGo Android Manager to, well, manage my contacts more efficiently. It showed me duplicates of the contact groups. I had a couple of the "Cowerkers", "Friends" and "Favorites" default groups so I deleted those that appeared to be empty via the program. Well it seems something got messed up, because now I cannot get to chose the "Favorites" group when editing my contacts on the phone. It doesn't appear in the groups list and is basically nowhere to be found, although contacts that were previously added are still displayed as being in the favorites group and appear on the widget.

Now this is driving me insane, since I cannot add any new contacts to the widget, since it only shows the contacts in the favorites group. Does anyone know how to re-add the group? Or can I somehow flash the rom back to stock so that it repairs the damage?

The One S is still fresh, LOCKED, S4 CPU, Software version 1.78.161.2, Vodafone Germany is the carrier. (Came with some preeinstalled Vodafone bloatware, so if I have other options than returning to the Vodafone ROM, I'll be fine with that.)

Hope that was clear. Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Find yourself an icon pack that you like and download desktop visualiser its free in the play store, and that will allow you to change all the icons on the home screen and app drawer too I think
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I only use the stock contacts app so I'm unsure how that app works but you can find that app under settings–apps then clear all data for it. Then you can start from the beginning or just un install the app to revert to the stock One, if your contacts don't show, clear the data for contacts storage and re sync your apps via Google or a vcf backup
[HTC One S] Osonsum:
Ah well...

Good Morning,

I took me a while, but I was motivated by Mr. Dazzle's message and I tried to change the CID to HTC__001.

I followed the steps in this thread as mentioned in my previous post and everything seemed to work, apart from the step 9, which gave me an error.

However, because I was impatient I continued anyway.

After step 11 I locked the bootloader and tried to run the "RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed" and ended up with Error 131.

Now my phone will only boot into fastboot and I can't seem to unlock the bootloader anymore. Whenever I try to use an adb command it tells me: error:device not found.

Any idea what when wrong here? Was missing step 9 a big mistake? Am I using the right RUU for HTC__001? Any idea how I can get my phone back to work?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
That is step 9 - If you failed to do that you failed to push the modded mmcblk0p4 (CID Change) back to the phone, So your CID wouldnt have changed.

If adb isnt finding your device then you cant push the mod over, So the reason you get the RUU error is because of CID mismatch.

You will need to get the RUU for your CID and run it, Then when the phone is back up and running, do the SuperCID trick again - COMPLETE ALL OF THE STEPS and then you can run the unbranded HTC RUU.

Please donnt skip installation steps again, You run the risk of permanently bricking your device if you do.

If the steps weren't crucial they wouldn't be there.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
I was using the default app. MobileGo is a Sync Program that runs on the pc. Nevertheless, clearing my contacts app data got the Favorites group back installed. Problem solved. Thanks sent! :)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Hey azzle,

My TMobile UK branded One S comes with a lot of bloatware, including a bootanimation that replaces the original. The CID is T-MOB005. I tried getting rid of the branding by running a stock 1.78 RUU (Currently it's 1.77) but it won't accept the CID as I need to edit the android-info.txt and that won't work either. Is it safe to grab the ROM.zip from the RUU and rename it to PJ40IMG.zip and flash it in the bootloader? I don't want to root yet.

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hey, Unfortunately thats not possible without S-OFF, You need the ENG HBOOT to flash packages like that.

Why dont you want to root ? Ive stated many times that unlocking bootloader DOES NOT void warranty, Is that what concerns you ? or do you just not feel comfortable with the procedures ?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Mostly the procedures, since my old Wildfire had Revolutionary S-OFF and it was much easier to root with Revolutionary. I don't think I understand flashing boot.img through cmd and if my phone needs to be sent for service, I'm still paranoid that they'll see my ***TAMPERED*** or ***UNLOCKED*** sign and I have no idea how to get rid of them if I do root my phone. I think I'm also scared about bricking - I don't like the idea of a 561 pound paperweight :(
[HTC One S] Osonsum:
In that case, do you know where I can find a UK Orange Rom?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Well all you have to do is unlock the bootloader via HTC dev, instructions are on that side too, then it's as simple as flashing an image in fast boot either recovery image or boot image, you can re lock the bootloader at any time and providing you return the phone with complete stock firmware, and such as running an ruu, they cannot refuse warranty with a re locked bootloader, and unless of cause the issue is due to modified software.

Sure, go to the shipped rom collection thread in development can't post links its too much hassle using Tapatalk lol.
[HTC One S] jaydee1986:
i have problems with the LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5mr1 ROM. installed it (+fullwipe), but all i see now is the liquid boot screen, endless. already tried to reinstall the rom, but it didn't help.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Did you flash the boot.img that is inside the ROM ?? You have to flash it via fastboot unless you use TWRP recovery
[HTC One S] jaydee1986:
THANKS!
[HTC One S] fonpacific:
I'm planning to buy one... Are there some serious bug/problems (like low quality audio/video, death grip, ecc)?:confused:
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Nope, Video quality is awesome, I love Amoled screens so big thumbs up from me.

Death grip seems to be existent but not lethal, As with all phones, If you cover the antenna its gonna make some difference, This only happens when holding phone in landscape mode.

Finally, One thing to be wary of is which model you get, There are 2 now, One with an S3 chip and one with an S4 chip. If you get the S3 chip then you will struggle to root it and find a custom ROM.

So if you do buy one, Try to get the S4 chip model.
[HTC One S] Senzune:
Whenever a Jelly Bean AOSP ROM comes out, if I have that on my One S, will I be able to update it directly via updates pushed by Google? Just as is the case for a Nexus device?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
No, The AOSP ROMs you use are custom not stock. Albeit they may be stock cloned but the only updates your HTC is triggered to receive is Sense Based updates.

Where did 16 gb go?

Hey guys,

I notice my SDCARD only has 9 gig free, where the other 7 gig go?

I assume the OS takes up 1 - 2 gig tops but that still leaves 3 - 4 gigs unsuable/unaccounted for.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
4 gb reserved for system, 2 gb for apps. Available storage = 10 gb
[HTC One S] Osonsum:
Ok so I manage to unlock the bootloader again, which allowed me boot the Cyanogenmod rom again. In other words everything is working again.

I have started the CID change steps again this morning. I have managed to change the document in HexEd from ORANGE01 to HTC__001 and saved the document as mmcblk0p4MOD on my sd card.

Then when I try to do step 9 it tells me "cannot stat 'mmcblk0p4MOD': No such file or directory" (Screenshot attached).

This time, being slightly clevered than a few days ago, I stopped there and wanted to seek your adive?

What am I doing wrong and what can I do to get it to work?
[HTC One S] jacrys:
Firstly, this is one of those techie annoyances... And as storage grows, so does the perceived loss.... You don't have a 16 GB SD card, you have a 16 GiB SD card. The difference is: 1 GB is 1,073,741,824 bytes, while 1 GiB 1,000,000,000 bytes. This makes 1 GiB = 0.93 GB. So your "16 GB" drive is actually about 14.9 GB. That being said, 9.63GB is storage, 2.26GB is app storage, 1.54 GB is ROM, with about 1.5 reserved.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Yet another naughty stunt performed by HTC !! they set out to confuse people with their technical jargon.

Thanks for explaining that in more detail :)
[HTC One S] jacrys:
In all fairness, this wasn't HTC, this was set in motion by the marketing departments of the storage companies and truthfully by SI itself. Btw, my explanation is inaccurate, GB should be GiB and vice versa, but the premise holds. Giga means 10^9, sho Gigabyte truly should mean 1,000,000,000 bytes. That is why the IEC defined the binary prefixes. GiB stands for Gibibyte, which is 1,073,741,824 bytes, or 2^30.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
:confused: Now im confused, But i'll take your word for it ! Thanks.
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
You're right, I have never seen any distinction between "GB" and "GiB". They mean the same thing, just expressed in different ways. GB stands for Gigabyte, when means 1 billion bytes of data. A byte is eight bits; a bit is either a 1 or 0. Normally, all calculations we perform everyday are in base-10 (numbers 0 through 9). If we were using base-10, then GB would mean you actually get 1 billion (1,000,000,000) bytes. Unfortunately, the IT world uses base-2, which screws everything up and makes it confusing.

[HTC One S] deki88:
Hi all, I'm new here.

I've had the One S since Monday this week and it's my second smart phone. First one was a Wildfire S but I never did much with it other than downloading a few apps here and there (I lost it afterwards).

Just a few questions since I wanna get the most out of my device:

1: Should I root it? Are there any great ROMs (have I got the terminology right?) that I should seriously look into?

2: Is there a how-to guide to install a Launcher? I've looked around and I really like the way some people's home screens look.

3: Why is it that when ever I download an app, it always goes straight onto the 'internal storage'? Why can't I install it onto the phone storage?

4: Why is it that when ever I then transfer that app to my phone storage, there's still some of it left behind in the internal storage? For instace I had Viber, transferred it over to my phone storage and there's 2.18MB of it in the internal storage?

5. Is it normal for the phone to warm up a bit when using 3G? I remember my Wildfire S used to heat up quite a bit, but I heard that the One S doesn't as much?

6. I'm using the mail app with my hotmail account and it never shows me new emails. Why is this?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
1. Rooting has lots of advantages, Allowing you to browse /system files and edit them also, And there are some pretty cool apps that require root so its definitely something you should consider. Same applies to ROMs, but it really depends on what you expect from it, No one can recommend a ROM, I suggest you read through them and see which ones you like, Try them all :)

2. Installing a launcher is easy, Just find one you like, Download it and install it like you would with any other app, Then when you press the home button it will ask you which launcher to use.

3. The One S has reserved space for apps (2GB approx) so whenever you download an app it will be stored onto this partition, Phone storage is the users storage, For their pics, vids, music and so on.

4. Im not sure about this, I believe you cannot fully move an app and all of its contents to the phone storage, some things will have to stay in the apps storage to enable faster loading and so on (i may be wrong.... Its not rare :p)

5. The phone packs some serious processing power, It has a really power hungry screen and is all enclosed into a tiny shell which is no thicker than 8mm so expect some heat from it :)

6. have you got refresh interval set to a certain time ? do you have push notifications ? there should be some option under the settings somewhere, I never used it so I'm not 100% sure how it works.

Root factory ROM without wipe?

Is there a tool to root the factory ROM without factory wipe so I can use Titanium backup to backup all my apps & settings? I may switch carriers and don't want to start over, it'd be nice to restore my installed apps with their settings. This wouldn't be used for device settings, since they tend to differ.

To root you need to have an unlocked bootloader, Unfortunately unlocking bootloader will reset the device, However there are some backup apps that dont require root. My Backup / pro is one of these that can do it, There are others too

Hello there!

I'm a long time user in xda but not a registed one. But now that I've changed my Galaxy S I-9000 for HTC One S I have one simple question.

I've used the HASOON2000 toolkit and I've unlocked the bootloader, installed a newer cwm recovery and rooted my phone, my question is since htc will give one s the 4.1 jellybean, will I have any software problem or will just lose the root and stuff?

So water got into my headphone jack. My phone now thinks that headphones are in my phone. I have a couple questions.

1. Will T-Mobile replace it for free if I restore using an RUU?

2. Is there any way to fix the water damage?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I dont know if its possible without S-OFF ? if someone can confirm I will look further in to it :)

Was / Is your phone branded by your carrier ? what is your CID ? You can find out by using fastboot and typing: 'fastboot getvar cid' in to a command window, then you can search the shipped rom collection in development for your required RUU (you need to lock bootloader before running RUU or it will fail)

You will need to flash stock recovery and relock bootloader to receive OTA updates.

If they spot the water damage they will refuse / charge you to fix it, they will also refuse if you have modified software too so the choice is yours.

Its possible to fix by replacing the headphone jack, But this might not be a simple task, there maybe some youtube videos on how to do it, or you could send it in under warranty and hope they wont notice, However if they do, I doubt it would cost a lot of money - the choice is yours ? risk fixing it yourself or pay a little more and get it done professionally with warranty.
