Wish I could enjoy Jelly Bean at its best but sadly I have a DS with Hitachi screen panel so no JB ROMs for me... Or I'll have to stay with a JB kernel but with 100% brightness all the time, which is not good for my eyes and the battery life
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
What's this about a hitachi panel... its news to me? How do you find out and what happens if you have one... i'm asking because the wife still has a DS and i just want to know before i upgrade her phone...
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nope not the minimize one, just the when you normally press the home button, but it uses the animation when you click on a web link in an email or tapatalk etc.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
su dmesg | grep -i panel

This will tell you what panel you have.

It seems Desire S came with two panels, one from Sony and the other from Hitachi.

The Hitachi panel has a different driver etc, which unfortunately is not yet fully working. None of the devs have a device with a Hitachi panel.

The driver needs to be reverse engineered.

The main current limitations are that brightness is always 100%, when Flemmard tried to set it to something else, it never worked and had other issues and we can't have the new frame buffer for this Hitachi panel.

It's good that only a very few devices seem to have a hitachi panel.

How is it only? How does it compare to the likes of the nexus 7?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Haha, good one ;)

Just had a play with it, charging it up for him before Christmas tomorrow so he can use it.

Brilliant money for the tablet IMO. Screen isn't as great as the N7 however, but that is to be expected.

Speed is great, however not as smooth as the N7 because its on ICS which has some slowdowns. But the 1.6GHz dual core chip has potential. If JB comes out officially, it will be very very powerful. It also has 1GB RAM.

It has a rear camera, so that's its advantage over the N7, and the larger screen is great for web browsing etc. Build quality is surprisingly sturdy.

Only had a brief play with it, so can't comment much more.

Can't believe its £49 a fantastic price. I think I want one for myself now. No point waiting for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 2 anymore.

Hopefully they will have some on boxing day!

Hope that helped!

How come nobody wants a Nexus 10...? looks tasty... thinking of getting one... what say?
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
If I didn't own an N7 and already have an iPad in the house I would almost certainly buy a N10. My niece had one for Xmas and had a quick play with one earlier, the screen is amazing :thumbup:
[HTC Desire S] :
First off, Merry Xmas everybody :)

Second, do any of you guys know if there is a Call of Duty XDA Clan? :P I play MW3 and BO2 quite a lot now, and Elite is free for everybody now. Or should i create one?

the device seems neat to me, but they wont sell it here in the Netherlands :(

what the hell am i *****ing about?! i have a N7 :P
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's been discussed a LOT, the Nexus 10, though an amazing device, can't compete with the iPad. The price difference isn't much, and the iOS ecosystem is much better right now. The nexus 10 has great specs though, and if you've decided that it's an android tab you want, then it won't get any better than the N10 :):):)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Simple answer - 'No'

Long answer - 'Not a chance'.

I've asked Google directly about this, as have many others, and they refuse to allow transfer of apps between accounts. That's why I have two accounts on my Droid - one for the apps I'd previously bought, and one as my actual account.

I don't understand why they are so stubborn, but they just won't even entertain the idea of transferring apps between accounts.
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
Tried myself today and gotta say that card interface kicks flipboards flippy ass... but i cant find a way to save on pocket :confused: thats a bummer for me
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Well, I don't want one for several reasons:

1. I already have a Nexus 7, and it satisfied all my tablet needs pretty much

2. I don't really like the idea of taking with myself a 600g boulder all around, I'm not quite used to the weight of 10" tablets anyway

3. It's unknown when it comes to Russia

4. When it does - the price will be ridiculous, and most certainly 30-40% higher than US/EU prices

Call of Duty? PFF, Battlefield 3 all the way :f-yeah:

I believe they don't allow such transfers because then everybody could do it and it would create groups of people that would make one public account for buying apps and then sharing them among other accounts, which would result in smaller number of apps bought, which would result in less income from the Play Store, which would result in developers to think three times before delievrring an app or a game to the Play Store.

Android already suffers from piracy, so sometimes revs really don't get much money to cover the costs of porting the app/game to this OS, and just take a look at how many free apps/games are there and how revs have to milk out every last cent with in-app purchases to, again, cover the costs of porting (especially the games, when revs have to consider hundreds of different device configurations, r.g. resolutions, CPUs, screen sizes, etc.)

That's why iOS has so many exclusive games and apps that will probably never come to Android - as said as it is to say, but iOS seems to bring much more income, especially since there is an ecosystem with small amount of devices

Performance patch, lag killer

Hey! I just thought you might want to know (if you don't know yet) that someone made a script to kill lag in a new way, which is kind of interesting. The thread is only 19 pages long, and I recomend reading the OP and the last 4 pages to get to know how it works. It should work on every device and rom, so give it a try!! Maybe you can get that feeling again like your phone is a new phone :fingers-crossed:

Try switching apps, scrolling, moving around maps, etc to see if it is faster than before.

The first post in this last page has the latest script (The OP has an app and some other things, but it is completely outdated, someone took over the work and is posting his updates)

Just skimmed the thread, it looks really promising. Downloaded v5,let's see how it goes.

Interesting thing is we had an issue in office where Oracle database connections were getting hung due to same reason, waiting on /dev/random as entropy pool wouldn't get filled up in a VM in a data center. Entropy gets generated from noise which is hard to find in a data center. We had to use a similar solution.

What we had done is link /dev/urandom to /dev/random.

Could just be placebo, but everything loads up a bit faster on Andromadus. Still got a bit of lag but didn't really expect it to disappear completely. The difference isn't hugely noticeable but any speed improvement is better than none.

[HTC Desire S] Juppehup:
Oké, I've been looking around for another phone some time now. Comming from the Desire S, I'd like a bigger screen and a bit more battery time. On my DS I get 2 hours screen on and 1 hour of calling and my battery dropped to 16% over a time period of 12 hours.

I've looked at the One X, Sg3 and the Nexus 4. All have there +'s and - 's. I love the idea of wireless charging, so I can put the phone on my desk, charge it and walk away with it when necessary. Although I'm having doubts about the screen size of the N4. 4,7" is nice but the onscreen buttons peel away reading space... Is the effective screen remarkable larger as on the DS? I mean the One X is huge....which is good ;)

I see a lot of talk about screen on time with the nexus 4, but how about call time? Does it eat battery as on my DS?

Should I wait for GS4, HTC butterfly or jump in and get me a N4? How is the N4 after a couple of weeks?

Really appreciate your opinions on this tough choice!
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Wow, somehow all my 89 apps on N7 ate out more than 700MB of RAM, so I only have about 200 ATM.

WTF?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
can highly recommend the N4, but I'm clearly biased

I was initially a little annoyed at the waste of screen, as you'll read in the thread above some where. But you can reduce the height of the nav bar using customs and also customize the buttons which you wouldn't be able to do with hard buttons, so they prove to be very useful.

The only question well be is can you hey hold of one, before the sgs4 and the butterfly is out
[HTC Desire S] Juppehup:
Well thats the good part, I can get one next week (they're in stock here... :laugh::good:)
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Butterfly is not coming to Europe
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
they would be daft not to release a variant of some sort of their be flagship device here...... Missed opportunity, although if I'd just bought a one X+ and they did then I'd be frustrated.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The HTC One series original idea was great, in my opinion. Handled properly it could have meant negligible fragmentation and more importantly, name recognition associated to a good product.

What actually happened next, with the sub-variants, hardware issues, and immediate upgrade of the lineup (I would be a very pissed off One X user now with the + out), is the very definition of cluster****.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's only "flagship" for a small time, HTC will release a new one (codenamed M7) with Snapdragon S4 & 1080p screen on CES/MWC I seriously hope they actually keep one flagship per year, like they were supposed to last year (although it was a huge improvement over 2011)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
isn't the M7 just a relabelled DNA/butterfly? Spec wise anyway?

What ever happened to the dlx/deluxe?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
DLX is the butterfly for the US, renamed to Droid DNA
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
as lowveld said the One series for a product line was a great idea... Idiots appear to have gone in completely the opposite direction this year..... setting out to completely confuse the punter...

Why couldn't they have simply had the not so catchy 'Two series' name :D

Edit : corrected the above sentence so that it was in English
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
What are you doing, HTC? You're just digging your own grave, gawddammit
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Couldn't agree more, with the butterfly they have the product, with the naming and product fragmentation they already appear to have screed the launch and it's bit even hear yet...... Leaving the huge space that will no doubt be filled by the sgs4 (a sensibly named product which lets you know exactly what you're getting).
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Hmmm...

So I searched around a bit and found out that a new Galaxy Nexus costs 17.000 RUB here.

The used ones are being sold for 9.500-10.500 RUB

A used Desire S in a condition like mine is costs csn be sold for max of 8.000

So if I sell my DS - I still gotta find 2k for a used GNexus

Deal or no deal?
[HTC Desire S] :
calculated RUB to euro, and you really think you can get 8000RUB - 200EUR for your DS? I wish you good luck with that... A brand new HTC One V (pretty comparing qua specs) costs 175 EUR / 7000RUB here.

Idk if the values for phones are much higher in Russia, but i bet it wont have that much of a difference

Anyways, to get off topic in the off topic topic (yo dawg!) , A happy and healthy new year in advance for everybody here, since i wont be on the forums around midnight ;)

[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Yep, they are much higher. New One V here costs about 15.000 RUB, while new DS costs an average of 10.500 RUB, the same price that used GNexuses are listed for

Besides, from what I saw - most of the people are selling their DS' for the price that varies from 6.000 to ~8000 RUB, and often in muvh worse conditions than mine is ATM

Other than some microscratches all over the screen (I use my DS without any screen protector or a case) and a scratch just below the headphone port - my device is pretty much in a good shape after almost a year of usage

Make a folder, long press it and click "edit". Check "Swipe to Open Folder", change the icon to an app icon and the tap action to the app you want. You now have a cover, tap for app and swipe for folder :) The best part is, the cover app doesn't even have to be a part of the folder. (You probably need premium for this)

Just checked, with APM-extended desktop doesn't allow swipe down notifications as you said.

What I do to get extended desktop is two fingered swipe up to toggle status bar and then swipe down notifications works OK and its a quicker way to extend your DT.

I used two fingered swipe down to toggle the dock as well.
