[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] SGT_Watkins:
I have it, and I'll be honest at first I was a little concerned, it looks and felt cheaply made at first site, but once I put in the tablet and I got it working it works great. I tend to forget to turn the keyboard off for days at a time and it still holds a charge days later. I haven't had any issues with the connection, the placement of the apostrephe key is a little odd, but other than that I love it.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Oh and the "stand" version if it is okay, but I prefer to lay down and/or sit so I have to hold my legs a little funny sometimes. You can't charge it while it's standing or closed though, that's a little dissapointing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] sudhirkhanger:
1. It's a good keyboard for the price.

2. There is a little ghost key problem.

3. It's a silicon keyboard.
[HTC One S] CaveManDave:
Well, the story goes like this. I ordered the One S originally for my contract upgrade but read some doom and gloom reviews regarding the screen so changed to the one X at no extra cost. I prefer the look and the materials used in the One S.

To my suprise, the One S still came. I asked Three if I could have a little play and they said it was fine as long as I didn't put the sim card in it.

The phone is absolutely stunning. It's razor thin design and solid build quality make it the most impressive phone I have handled to date. The MAO process used on the housing has a unique finish to it which is grippy as well as gorgeous, and makes the phone feel like it could survive thermo-nuclear war.

One of the reasons I changed to the One X was the chipping issue. I have been brave and actually (fairly gently) hit the edges of the phone against my class desk. Tapping it in such a hard surface I would have assumed would chip the phone if a defect was present, and it weathered it without any marks, luckily for me. I have heard chips start appearing after the first week of use though, so don't take my word as gospel when I say it hasn't affected this unit.

Another reason for me scrapping my One S dreams was the reviews of the screen. Several websites I trust said the screen was low quality and you could easily see individual pixels. Now this was personally my biggest turn off for the One S... I spend a lot of time browsing the web on my phone so even minor pixalation would piss me off, however I'm pleased to say the screen is stunning. The only trademarks of a pentile display I noticed was very very faint jagged edges on straight lines during screen animations, not a deal killer for me as text was wonderful.

Finally the performance of the One S has blown me away. It's dual-core snapdragon S4 is a brilliant CPU and coupled with the Adreno 220 GPU everything ran smooth like a hot knife through butter.

My conclusion? As an average user, ignore the doom and gloom about the screen. There are some incredibly minor jagged edges on transition efects but apart from that I loved it. Battery life seems to be impressive too, I have had it since 10 AM this morning and it is midnight now and is on 30% charge, and I've been using this phone a lot, however without any sort of 3g radio turned on, only WiFi. If you love the look of this phone, buy it. It feels amazing.
[HTC One S] kolyan:
too bad there is no nfc and its mid 2012
[HTC One S] shinkinrui:
>implying that nfc is some kind of must-have feature in 2012

I really don't think it is. Maybe next year.
[HTC One S] Komadyret:
NFC is useful. But not much implemented. I won't miss it the next 2-3 years I imagine. Nothing to ***** about imho.

I've had my MOA S since Friday afternoon, and I'm very satisfied with it so far. I have to agree with most observations in this review. It's spot on!

As for chipping, I've not noticed any on my device yet, apart from a little around (more like inside) the usb port. But then I have not taken much care when plugging in either, so I'm not surprised it has a little worn look there.

It feels secure and good to the grip, and the screen is perfectly adequate for a phone. I'm not using this device as a replacement for my HD TV-set or for image manipulation :p

Two things I would have wished for as a personal preference is bigger battery (even at a cost of a couple of millimeters thicker body and more weight) and a smaller screen. 4" had been enough with this hardware to be a great phone :)
[HTC One S] AndroidBlizzard:
I don't see NFC as a big part of technology in 2012. Maybe after the premier handsets have it and then it starts rolling out, that will be when I care if a phone has NFC or not. I certainly don't mind at all that the HTC One S isn't a pioneer in NFC technology.
[HTC One S] CaveManDave:
NFC

To be fair, have you even been able to use NFC for anything productive?

I have been using a Bold 9900 for the last 5 months and the ONLY thing I have used NFC for is getting a free cadburys cream egg from a promotional stand at a bus stop in reading.

And in the UK you can only use NFC for payments under £15, which in my case is usually just a drink or lunch, both of which I would usually pay for in loose change, not with my card, so NFC is, in my opinion, an entirely worthless feature in 2012.

It could be great, but currently it has no use and I don't see why any phone ships with it currently apart from to entice businesses into finding more uses for it as the user base grows.
[HTC One S] 6gex:
For the screen, the pixel is visible if the text is written in white. ( under the icon.

It is less visible in the browser as the text is in black.

I ve put my desire s in front of the one s and the desire s screen is sharper.

The one s could have been the best device with an hd screen to me.
[HTC One S] kolyan:
I just think when u are buying a new and nice device, its nice to have it future proof considering most top of the line phones do have nfc....galaxy nexus, one x, Sony phones, and gs3 will most likely have it too.

nfc is not just for payments. tags are pretty cool and useful.

I don't have nfc and never used it, but sure wouldn't mind trying it out
[HTC One S] CaveManDave:
The One S is not a top of the line phone, it's a mid end device. Bare that in mind when you talk about future proofing. Most people on these forums will update their phones once a year or so, I personally upgrade every 6 months sometimes. NFC will not be big this year, nor probably next. It's not something that has started trending yet, and when it does I suspect it will explode and then die out again, because it's really not as useful as people like to make out.

So yeah, most top end phones have it now, but this is not a top end phone. And our countries like to future proof their nuclear defenses, but it's not like anyone is going to fire a nuke at us any time soon. Same goes with NFC...

P.S, I went for the One X in the end :)
[HTC One S] kolyan:
I see NFC more useful with tags rather then its easy payment feature.

maybe its not what i actually think it is and using Tasker is just as convenient if not better. But it sure nice to have automated tasks, i use this feature ALOT
[HTC One S] arknailed7754:
Isn't nfc just asking for trouble security loopholes'
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
Hmm I do not really agree.

First point: The One S is maybe promoted by HTC as the mid end device but this for sure only is for them. It is faster than any other smartphone (even the high class One X) and when you compare it to other producers devices, the One S has to be compared to the power horses of those (and beats them)..

Second: nfc doesn't has to be big to be useful. You are right that it needs to be spread for some fancy and useful services like payment or I dunno but actually people owning the new Sonys are playing around with the tags a lot and producing interesting ideas. For example: tags placed at your appartements entrance that tell your phone how to behave (sound profile, wifi, alerts, tasks etc..) if you pass it, depending on leaving (profile 1) or entering (profile 2).

I agree that it's not a must have for me, but certainly a nice to have and it would've been realistic to implement it in the One S or at least the X, which is the top class and doesn't have it either.
[HTC One S] kolyan:
^ One X does have NFC

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

This is how I look at it....out of Built quality (theoretically goes to S), Screen quality, NFC, SD-Card slot, and Removable battery, I would choose like this:

1. Screen quality

2. Built quality

3. NFC

4 and 5. SD Card and Removable battery < this is just something I never care about
[Desire HD General] newdeal99:
So i tried everything in other posts and nothing worked to fix my gps. I could. Not get any signal at all inside or out. I tried tightening the contacts, tried putting wire on the contacts but nothing helped. Then i had my phone one and put my finger over the contacts and got 3 satellites in my bedroom. I think taped over the circuit board with electrical tape except for the area of the contacts and put a piece of tin foil on the contacts. I now get a lock on 9 satellites while indoors when previously I got zero. Do this at your own risk and be aware you will lose your flash but to me its worth it I never use the flash anyway and would rather have a functional gps
[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
First off, add prefix [GUIDE] in front of your title so that people know that it's a guide and not a question :P

It also depends on the rom you're using. First off i would say that you should download Wifix from market or somewhere and run it...if that doesn't solve the problem then flash an AOSP rom, ICS or MIUI as they tend to have better GPS for some reasons (maybe because they have a lot of pre built in tweaks). Also make sure that in build.prop (found in system folder) there's the line:

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org if you're from Europe

This is for someone who doesn't want to do the dangerous stuff ;)
[Desire HD General] blueazure:
i use

RCmix v3.3 rom

lordmodNCT v4 kernel

12.65 radio with matching kernel

------

i use the gps software hack by crypted and get rapid fix ( < 10 sec , outdoors, clear view provided ) and stable lock once it catches..

i havent opened my fone nor touched the gps contacts .. ( the hardware hack can even better the performance and ur gps might even work indoors , but the above is enough for me)

That's what we like to call over-cooked HDR. You can pretty much do the same thing by adding one of those old school filters or a yellow tint filter and pushing up the contrast and saturation. It's pretty much used as a distraction for bad composition :cool:

Hi to All.

I'm searching for a good compatible battery for SGY. Someone have tested them yet and can give me an advice? I need a battery of the same quality or better than the original. On ebay there are many cheap battery, but for experience i know that them are often... very bad.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Accessories] leodasal2:
instead of changing your battery, why don't you try other alternatives?

like switching off your wifi and data if your not using them or adjusting your screen brightness to minimal and you can also set the screen time out to 15secs

you can also use "no animations" in the display as it consumes more resource and avoid using live wallpapers

you can also try freezing system apps and services that you are not using via titanium back up
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Accessories] leolap84:
Yes, i do it already and my battery, if i don't use the phone for games or internet, can last up to 3 days... but sooner or later I will owever change it, then I open this thread to see if anyone have some experience with compatible batteries.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Accessories] Kousthubha Kumar:
Seems like you got a faulty battery or something wrong with your phone. Try restoring to stock ROM and check if the problem persists, also try with any other battery. Those 2430MAH batteries are very good, cheap and giving a lot more battery backup than stock. Im having them for about 7 months and never faced any problem
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Accessories] leolap84:
I use stock rom (XXLF3) and the original battery is working well... I have recharged the battery by forcing into an external charger, it worked, but when I try with the phone on, after a few seconds it turns off and the symbol of the crossed out battery appears.

Può essere dovuto a un qualche tipo di controllo del software?

Can you please PM me where you buy your battery?

[HTC Sensation] sshede:
My buddy got one, he loves it. Had to put it through it's paces. Some good news, most Senseless roms outperform the Galaxy Nexus is day to day operations. Don't get me wrong, my ARHD + AOSP V41 theme (Basically a slightly updated VI4.0.1) only opened applications .5 seconds to 1 second faster, but my point is that it is indeed faster.

Very good to know when it comes to phone shopping. I'm not gonna say the GNex lags like crazy and it's sooooo slowwwww but you get the gist. He does, however, have CRT-off :(.

Still, very cool.
[HTC Sensation] Teio:
So you're comparing a highly tweaked kernel and rom against a stock rom? It doesn't work that way lol...

I seriously doubt that the sensation will outperform the galaxy nexus as it doesn't even outperform the galaxy s2...

PS.: I have both sensation and sgs2 and as much as I love the sensation, it can never achieve the smoothness and speed of a tweaked sgs 2 rom... (cm7 vs cm7 and cm9 vs cm9)
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
ARHD is stock kernel unless you choose otherwise, I did not choose otherwise. All I'm saying is that a Sense rom with most Sense removed was slightly faster than my buddies GNex, which also had a custom rom.

You can't assume his is stock and you can't assume I have this special, magical kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Teio:
Ok, shame on me, I jumped to conclusions
[HTC Sensation] vshun:
I have international version of GSM Galaxy Nexus updated and running latest ICS 4.0.4 and I can definitely see a lag compared to Sensation (which now belongs to my wife) running AOSP ROM and 1.5 Ghz kernel. Heck, even kids Vibrants running either ICS or 2.2 ROMs are silky smooth compared to Galaxy Nexus.

Now Galaxy Nexus pushes significantly more pixels than either Sensation and especially Vibrant but I thought better GPU, A9 CPU and original Google ROM will more than make up for it but it is not the case. Nexus however is much better in battery and overall to me feels like a much more solid phone. I am in minority here but like plastic more than slippery HTC aluminium and display is better anyway, so happy with it so far.

Guys i am torn. One minute i want to unlock through HTC dev website but on the other hand i want to wait for the S-OFF exploit. Not just that, wondering if i unlock will i still be able to get OTA updates still? I know i will do from what i read but few more confirmations would probably ease my mind.

Had a year my galaxy s2 and was lucky enough that the s2 was already unlocked. Not a stranger to rooting but coming over to the HTC One x and reading on instructions on how to root kinda gets me worried.

What do you think guys? Development i am sure will be picking up but do you think it is worth to unlock through the dev site and if so why please.

The best thing for me after rooting was getting rid of the three dot menu button that takes up screen space on some apps. Using LeeDroid's ROM, I now have the Recent Apps button mapped to Menu and long pressing Home mapped to Recent Apps.
