Some interesting news regarding ICS updates

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Its-...ream-Sandwich-updates-really-are-slow_id29629
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Wow Simon. You've gone soft...
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'll shout at people in public, but this feels like my home and I don't want to upset it :cool:
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
you've chilled out, glad to see you stayed though, although I did expect something a little more it is his first post after all

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I am normally chilled - I just went through a really cr4p time a few weeks ago and let my frustrations go on XDA.

I'm not going anywhere - ordered my new phone to collect on Saturday, but I'll still be hanging around here with you guys and testing stuff out on my lovely old DS.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Which phone will you be moving on to? I'm still waiting on the Nexus. The specs of the LG seem decent but only problem is that it's LG. Hopefully with Google behind it, it won't be too bad.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
when's the nexus out, and is it going to be with just a couple of carriers or all, I'm due an update in December but can't decide which phone

sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I get two minutes
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I eventually decided on the LG Optimus 4X HD. I know it's got a locked bootloader, but it does have removable battery, microSD support, looks and feels nice ...

I will almost certainly root it (simple enough) just so I can put a few of my apps on there, but I'm not particularly worried about custom ROMs for this phone. ICS/JB is vanilla enough and I can just stick a different launcher on there.

Not a bad deal either - £20.50 a month on Orange for 100 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB data. I don't make many calls and can use my work phone if I need to. Most of my data usage is done on WiFi as well, but I can always pay £5 to shift it up to 1Gig if I need to.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Facebook need to hurry up and release this native app. I've almost completely stopped using it
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
What do you mean?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Surely stopping using FaceBook is a good thing? :p
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
http://mashable.com/2012/10/08/facebooks-android-app-finished/

@Simon It probably is but after a year of torture using the horrible app I would like to see it done properly.

Also i'm beginning to hate chemistry. We've done non stop titrations. It is genuinely the most boring thing ever. Standing there watching the acid drip one drop at a time...
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I hadn't used the app for about y months, been using faster for Facebook, despite its current flaws it's a lovely and light app, unlike the fb which is heavy and ram hungry

sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I get two minutes
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah, I see! I rarely use FB anymore to be honest lol.

We havent done titrations yet! How is it compared to GCSE mod3 titrations? We've done all of unit 1 apart from calculations. With my other teacher, we've started unit 2 organics for some reason I do not know, and will not need to know till June :cool:

How are you finding biology? Physics is seriously a step up from last year, much more complex.

Economics is quite a nice subject!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
It's pretty much the same. There's just a lot of them. Biology is definitely a step up. It's actually the hardest of my subjects. I'm revising for a test tomorrow at the moment. I agree economics is good. It's a nice change from my other subjects. I thought physics would be hard, that's why I stood clear. Decision maths is pretty easy though.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Personally, I think biology seems the best of the 3 for me! Once you get your head round the starch/protein etc, its kinda easy to follow :)

Physics is definitely the hardest, because straight after, I find it very difficult to answer questions. I have to do some reading up etc..

My choice was between physics and maths, I'd swapped Physics to maths on the first day, then changed my mind over the weekend!

I've heard C2 module for maths is very challenging, so i stayed away from it!

Im going to struggle with physics, cause I'm the only one in the class who doesnt do maths aswell! Maths and Physics share the same mechanics module. So they will have already learnt a topic in maths, but it will be new for me...

Are all your exams AQA?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Not this time. In fact either I have a different exam board for each subject or I don't have AQA at all. I know I definitely have WJEC and OCR. Can't remember off the top of my head though. What about you?

Yeah for biology I've found that if you don't go over the notes you struggle a bit (or it's just me). It's mostly memorising. I'm surprised you didn't take maths. In fact everyone I know that does physics does further maths as well.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ooh, I'm doing AQA for the sciences and OCR for Economics.

I know, like everyone who does Physics does Maths :( I decided not to take Maths because I literally did every past paper dating back from 2004 - 2011 2 times each for GCSE. Naturally, my Maths is poor, I have to practise a lot! I'm glad it paid off though, and I got an A*, although scraped it by 3%! :eek:

It was so much effort, I felt A-Level would only get worse.

In Physics now actually, most of our equations require Maths for rearranging, substituting etc, but its gonna get harder when we start mechanics! :eek:

How's your college in general? Do you wear home clothes?
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Pooor students lol...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah I do. To be honest, it gets a bit tedious coming in home clothes. It's going pretty well though. A lot of new friends but still have my old friends which is good. Although we have to wear lanyards all the time on site. That is terrible. You actually get fined for consistently forgetting to wear it. What about you?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Haha, that's cool! Yeah my friend told me the same, the novelty kinda wears off, and its cumbersome picking your clothes out for the next day etc (imagine for the girls! :eek:)

Well I basically go to the same school, but just in the sixth form now :p We wear suits to school :D

Quite nice actually, cause you have much more authority and respect from the lower school ;) We also get more privileges like, leaving the school in free periods etc. We also have our own common room now which is cool.

Still have to stick to registration etc in the morning, like tomorrow, I have no lessons until 11:20am, but i gotta go to school at 8:40am and hang around the common room, till then... :cool:

Do you break up for half term this Friday?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
No sadly I'm next Friday :(. Although I start 3rd period tomorrow so don't have to arrive at college till you 1:05! Some benefits there. My timetable is pretty good compared to others though. I only have 2 early starts
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Aw lucky! I finish a half day on Friday... But I have my DofE silver expedition though :( :cry: Won't be back Sunday night... Nooooooo!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I was planning on doing DofE but then realised I'm not capable. I have to be the laziest person alive. My personal statement is going to be terrible. I'm looking for some volunteer work at the moment to help improve it.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Haha, bronze was alright, but apparently silver you have to train for, which I have not done at all :( I'm screwedddd...

I do some volunteering at a care home during school instead of games. I'd like to be playing a game of football instead, but I guess I am helping out people in need and they appreciate it so its good to see them happy :)
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Olly, you'll do fine for silver as long as you brush up on your map reading. And remember naismiths rule.:thumbup:

Lol, I like titrations (or chem practicals in general) especially as compared to pointless ones in Physics. Although the theory part in physics is very interesting, I find it pretty hard too :p

NOW THIS WOULD BE A TRUE SUCCESSOR TO THE ONE X - https://twitter.com/HTC_HUB/status/258452647516987392 Though the 5 inch screen is too big :( Spec wise though, there is nothing more one could ask for, lets see about the removable battery

EDIT :More info - Firstly, the device is really ugly :p Second, I thought J Butterfly was a codename. Apparently not :/ Finally, it seems that the device is Japan only. WTF :mad:

Hopefully, HTC has something that looks better and has a better name planned for Rest of the World, with the same power of course :p

That looks awesome. Maybe this will give me a chance to return to sense when it's released for test of the world

I quite like it, just a little too big for me but I don't think it's that ugly. The screen quality does look really good though.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I like it....although would need to hold it first, just to see how big, BIG really is!

That's confused me.

1) i9305 (yes @Enimgaamit!)

2) HTC One X+

and now that.

are thrown into my next Device category.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@ben Though I haven't had a chance to look at the specs of i9305 yet, (will tonight) I'm sure this is better. Remember how much of an improvement the SLCD2 screen was? Well, this is SLCD3, 1080p with 440ppi density. The screen alone kills the competition (though I would like a 4.3 inch screen, even 720p, I have small hands :p). It doesn't even need the quad core S4 monster of a chip or 2GB RAM to compete ;)
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Speaking of Size, had a chance for a brief hands on with the Monstrous Note II !

One hell of a phone ... the interface was slick & that's 1 huge display ... But, I guess it would take may be a couple of weeks to get used to the size.

The latest market price is 37,500 Indian Rupees. . . I'm still confused about buying it though !:eek:
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
idk but at start i was SKEPTICAL toward the whole phablet concept...but as days are passing GNOTE2 seems like one heck of a phone...seriously considering it as my next..not untill next may/june though...wonder what will be greatest and latest then...

that reminded me of this post >> http://gizmodo.com/5891591/the-exact-day-phones-will-be-bigger-than-your-penis

I think there needs to be a sticky on all 3 sections, dev, q&a and general, title as 'read before flashing for all htcdev unlock'. Too many people flashing and forgetting about the kernel. No one should have to pull their batt and risk brick for something so small yet stated many times. Maybe the stickies or even rom thread should start stating it boldly?

As it seems like many more people are using htcdev.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm afraid even though I agree.in part, I don't think that it would help much as people have to actually read to see it and the same mentality of Person that unlocks without doing enough basic pre reading doesn't bother to even use the provided search facility suggesting that they've never read the Xda rules in which case they'll never read a sticky.

For me it was the complete opposite. Went straight to the development forums, unlocked, flashed a rom. Was silent for months and kept on trying various ROMs. Now want to post in the development forum, so have to post 10 posts in the general and Q&A forums. Pretty stupid rule. But regardless, I have seen quite a few useful posts in these forums too!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You're clearly the rarity though, I wish everyone was like that, although this place is about contribution, so if you were able to do it yourself, you surely could have posted something in order to help out others?

The 10 post rule isn't stupid, it is very useful as it prevents development forum being filled with stupid posts

[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
I guess in many cases it's just the fault of youth to be impatient and try out before understanding. This is no excuse, but maybe some have to learn it the hard way and brick their device.

I for myself took the time to read everything through like you did, prepared my computer well, after revolutionary came out, and even waited some days to see if there are some comments about serious bugs. I even did S-OFF on a laptop to avoid the small chance of power breakdown (a little paranoid I know :p). Years ago I definitely would have adopted as early as possible, because you got the naive opinion, that everything new must be better when you are young.

I read for about two weeks too, I asked ben_pyett and Dr. Romca all sorts of questions about the XTC Clip (there was no software unlock back then) and saw a video on how to flash a ROM with CWM. If everyone reads before plunging in to the flashing world, we would have a cleaner forum :)

Nah, just till Build 2 (even that's a port, no source build for JellyBean at all :(). I'll try to port Build 5 tomorrow as soon as I get home, it's got so much awesome stuff :D

Funnily enough, in a former life I knew a guy in North Wales who was part of the local mountain rescue squad for Snowdon, Llanberis and the surrounding area.

I went to Llangollen :) Lovely place, with lovely people there! Loads of mountains and hills, while its beautiful scenery, its a pain to climb!

Really lovely place to go! Went alright I suppose! Thanks for asking :)

My feet are covered in blisters however, and I am walking like a old man now! :p Legs are almost dead.

I feel so much lighter now. My bag was around 20kg, so glad it's off!

Not a fan of sleeping in tents, was terrible last night as water was dripping though onto my face at night :(

Made me really appreciate my bed!

I'm absolutely knackered, maybe off to bed in an hour or so.

Only my silver practice, so I'll have to do it once more in a couple off months :(

Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie is almost here, and my DS haven't tasted JB yet :crying:
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
And what's stopping you from doing so?

P.S. I sense CyanogenMod 11 coming in a month or so :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I think doing so is a bad business move from Google. Manufacturers can't keep up. Jelly Bean barely even made it to any phone (apart from nexus).
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
4.2 probably won't be KLP, still JB, from all the stuff I've read on Android Police.

Since google isn't changing the name, CM won't do so either. Maybe CM10.5 or something

Yeah, just the HOX And SGSIII AFAIK. But, they announced the PDK on their I/O, giving manufacturers early access to updates, so maybe 4.2 will roll out faster. This is also a good reason for not changing the name and overhauling the OS, and giving it polish instead.
