The one thing are the tools, xcode it's easier to handle than eclipse with adt plugin.

The second is also that objective c is better performing than java.

The third thing is that the android api is much more complex than the ios api.

And the last thing is that there are unfortunately many developers not caring to get deeper into android and making a high quality app for android, because of the first 3 reasons (that's why hybrid apps get more and more, even while the kind of suck at usability and performance compared to native apps, but they are easy to port).
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Sorry, been away for the last 2 days!

Well done mate! Great results! :D

I got a mix of A*'s and A's and 1 B :) A little disappointed though, as I was 1 UMS short from the next grade for 2 subjects.

I got the B in music... Remember that composition I posted a while ago? Turns out that was a D, which pulled my other overall down to a B!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Well done both of you. Far better than what I got when I did my GCSEs xxx years ago. You should both be proud of yourselves. :good:
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Seriously well done man. Now just gotta get ready for the toughest exams. Know what you're doing at a level?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
:D

Well I was gonna take Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Classics.

But then I decided to change it Classics with Economics.

But now again, I feel like I want to do Classics... My sister advised me not to take it, but I'm not sure :(

You? Does your school have a sixth form?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
My school doesn't have a sixth form and I'm actually pretty glad it doesn't. I'm doing biology, chemistry, maths and economics. Although I'm unsure about economics. My uncle teaches it so I'm getting some advice from him. I wanted to do history but then figured I'd have a hard time at college.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nice! My mum did economics for her A-Levels, but I don't think she will be able to help much!

@Ben I'm sure you're happy with the result? :D

I'm glad to see van Persie and Kagawa score!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
great to see them both on the score sheet. Shame fatman got injured at the end off the game

Is there a way the device can be changed? I don't believe it for a second. The person is known for not being the most believable

[HTC Desire S] prateek7791:
certainly its possible..

can be done with an app specifically build for that purpose. for ex when we post something using friendcaster the status says 'via friendcaster' , so the app could be designed for this purpose.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Van Persie's goal was brilliant as well! :D

And kagawa is really impressive. I'm happy with our new lineup, I hope we can continue to progress!
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
right guys. I've made a decision. The Desire S is getting sold (i'm sorry to say) and funds are going towards a sim free SGS2!

development over there looks awesome! and ever since trying 1 the other day the DS just seems sooo far behind it in every respect!

I'll be sad to not be a part of the DS community anymore but will still check back here every once in a while for the fun of it!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Sad to see you go mate :( you've been here from the start.

Best of luck in the new forums! The SGS2 has tremendous amount of development, and official JB on the way.

See ya!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Guys,

There's been a lot of chat between us over the months about replacement phones for our beloved DS. What do you reckon to the LG Optimus 4X HD?

The specs certainly more than match both the HOX and the SGS3, it has removable Micro-SD storage, comes with v4.0.3, has quite a nice, plain skin and all-round looks like quite a nice bit of kit.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Yep, the hardware seems nice, but LG devices aren't very hot on the development front. So check out the dev community before you take the plunge.

Secondly, I've always felt LG products just don't feel right in the hand. Had gone to see the optimus dual core phone once, absolutely hated the UX as well as the build and design.

I'd stick to one of the giants... much safer and satisfying that way 85/8 the long run...

Just my two cents.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, what enigmaamit said is true, LG devices don't feel right, you should stick to Samsung or HTC (although even they've dropped to the LG/Sony/Motorolla level recently :( )

Devving should be fine, RC from CM team has LG covered.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:

Saw a good deal for the Optimis too, but avoided it.

Even the Optimus 2X, the flagship phone from 2011 hasn't got ICS yet, and it looks to be cancelled anyway.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yay, ICS RUU here at last!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
As Shrome said, if this device is true, we're in for a treat!

http://phandroid.com/2012/08/27/htc-proto-is-now-the-desire-x-pictured-in-the-wild-along-with-specs/
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This explains the cancelled OTA quite well. Now the majority of the regular users that are not aware of the existence of XDA or HtcDev will upgrade their phones to this one because Desire S is a very good deal, and Desire X looks exactly like it (the similarity of the design is very appealing)

Btw I was just staring at the sigpic of one of the VIrtuous Team developers and the rest 4 devices standing next to ours are just ugly
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Seriously hope that it's true :)

Lol, yeah. Looks were the main reason I chose this over the Incredible S.

EDIT: Just saw the pictures, and it looks a lot like the Desire S :p They say it will debut at IFA, but it'll probably be releasedmuch latr as we haven't seen any leaked RUU from Football. A dual-core device, I hope HTC doesn't screw up and put Sense 4A in it. It has no business being released in the first place, beats the purpose of the One series
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hey this made me remember this wonderful day in June 2011, when I went to a mobile phone store to buy myself an Incredible S (I was totally confident that it will be my new phone) And there I saw the Desire S next to it on the shelf... :D
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Maybe you say im weird, but i totally dislike that Desire X
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yeah maybe this blue plastic crap around the camera makes the bad impression. But in front it is a Desire S with one missing capacitive button :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Yeah, me too..

Desire s should have been like that.

I personally want more for an upgrade..
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
And no speaker grill like the One Series. It's the Desire S with small add-ons from the One Series. Definitely not a device I would want to upgrade to. (EDIT: What eyahl said :p )

Speaking of upgrades, check this out: http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/28/lg-optimus-g-quad-core-lte/ Quad core S4 chip. LG is really fighting to get on top :eek:
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
If i upgrade, it will be probably with bigger screen.

Maybe Samsung, but not planning upgrade yet.

It's amazing how is Galaxy S II supported - ICS, scheduled JB...

Otherwise i like sense. The phone with sense is totally different than "nonsense" :D
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Agree with you both. But there are worse cases. :) For example the One V looks like a shoehorn to me. And the specs are total sh!t for a 2012 device
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, the chin on that is way to big. I actually like the specs, considering it's a low range device. It's insanely poplar here, a LOT of my friends have it. If however, the Desire X (with way better looks, bigger screen and almost twice the power) is in the range of the One V, all of them will probably regret it. The One V is for 18,000 too, if this is below 22 (the price I got my Desire S for) then it's a steal.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Guys, all that mess around ICS RUU download and refreshing dev site.

Do you realize, that we can get accused of DDOS attack :D ?

Im joking of course ;)
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Well I've just looked at my account with vodafone and it would appear that I can upgrade at the beginning of December, really tempted by the s3, think I've had enough of the bootloader issues on HTC, still gonna keep the ds I think to play around with.

sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I get two minutes
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I agree with Shrome, the device is kinda pointless, but the name is cool :D

However, I have a gut feeling this is only going to be released in China, just like the Desire V, which we never saw anywhere else.

(I had the privilege to use one in Dubai in July :D Its basically a bigger One V, still with Sense 4A)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nah, this one is international. The Desire V is in India too, I found it horrible, the only thing is it's dual-sim. It's got a crappy GPU, Adreno 200, like the one in the original Desire !! Thankfully, The DX uses a S4 chip, even if it is just 1 GHz
[HTC Desire S] killergg:
i got the ics ruu but i need 8 more post to attach the links :(
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Simple, replace the . with - (dots with dashes)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, i didn't know that they could combine the S2 chip with the S1 GPU :eek: In that case, it must a terrible device!

In the RUU there is a new radio right? :D Looking forward to it being extracted!

Does the new RUU void your warranty? I ask because my brother is still stock and still has warranty. Plus his phone seems to break a lot
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
The RUU is OFF HTC Dev now, maybe because it was getting too many downloads and screwing their bandwidth (unlikely) or it had some issues. Either way, I wouldn't flash it on his phone since it's not official yet. When it's back, you'll see a warning while flashing. It'll say your data will be wiped. If it also says your warranty will be void, then it will. Else, it's good :)

Any tests you guys want done? I'd previously upgraded my hBoot to the v7.whatever to support MIUI v4.0, but just extracted the ROM.zip from the RUU, stuck it on my SD-Card as PG88IMG.zip and ran the update that way.

Came up fine, indoors testing at the moment, but if you want any ADB commands or whatever done then let me know while I've got some time to kill.

No FCs, no problems that I can see - hopefully get to test Bluetooth, camera and GPS tomorrow. I really look forward to seeing what our Devs can do now that they have a stable official RUU to work from. I wasn't ever sure we would actually see this day, but it almost makes the wait worthwhile.

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
That wouldn't surprise me.

Being rooted means that you have taken the concious decision to make your phone as good as it can be.

It's different to the Apple users who may 'Jailbreak' their devices to allow them to install pirated software.

We spend so much time playing with our phones that we don't want to settle for a half-arsed app just because it's free when there is a better one that you have to pay for.

We also see just how much hard work the devs put in and feel that, if we can afford to own a £300+ device on a hefty monthly contract then paying a few pounds, dollars or whatever for a good app is small-fry in comparison.

Don't know about battery, but the radio seems about the same. Certainly no major improvement in signal strength for me and I get a really weak signal at home. Strangely enough, while running the official ICS my phone would be sat on my desk claiming to have full signal but it actually didn't - possibly caused by the fact that I'm on Three so I have no 2G fall-back available, yet I can't set Stock ICS to 3G only.

Hello guys, some help would be appreciated.

I've decided to stick with the DS for another year, (spent phone-cash on a new guitar instead :D)

I've been looking for the best sim-only plans, and found 3UK to offer me the best deal.

http://m.hotukdeals.com/deals/6-90-...cro-sim-200-12-months-50-quidco-three-1298416

However, I noticed in their plan that they strictly said that tethering is not allowed.

I wonder how this works, does it mean that if I enable tethering on my phone , devices cannot connect? Or will I be charged if I enable tethering and connect devices?

Is 3 a recommendable network?

The deal I've found seems to be the cheapest, but I'm wondering what the drawbacks are apart from tethering...

Cheers :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yay !!!!!! Another one here for a while :D Congrats on the new guitar :) Can't comment on the tethering thing though, clueless about anything related to Mobile Networks :p
[HTC Desire S] slurpdroid:
In Indonesia 3 is not recommended network, but because 3 is the most phreakable network, there are lot people used it :D

I am not sure if tether can be blocked on phone, a different story if you connect from a PC using modem, some modem have a program to block it CMIIW
[HTC Desire S] xxmorph3u5xx:
I don't think that they can disable tethering on your phone, I'm pretty sure that they can't. Even if you enable it I don't think that they have a way to know. I'm thinking that maybe if you do a lot of traffic they might scrutinise you but if you keep it low (little browsing and small downloads) they can't figure out what you're doing as the phone acts as a router and all ongoing traffic is passed through it..
