Hey !

Hi Guys :)

Parth here from Mumbai - India , Telecommunications Engineer with an Telecom OEM & a self certified Gadget Freak !!! :D

Well well well... I was planning on buying the One S after it's release in India!
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
I'm Craig and I live in a city called Cardiff in south Wales. I'm married with a young daughter. I work for Audi Uk.

Apart from the obligatory rom flashing addiction I enjoy playing and watching rugby. Watching football, US football, cricket and DVD boxsets ( Breaking bad, the wire, bsg, boardwalk empire etc ) When the wife n little one go to bed I also enjoy an hour or two on the ps3.

Regretably I once owned an iPhone ;)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I'm Adrian (almost 27), live in Graz (Austria) and my occupation is programmer.

I got 2 little daughters (5 years and 3 months) which own my heart aside of my better half.

I don't watch sports, don't know why, but can't get any benefit out of it, but I do sports myself (skating, biking, basketball, Frisbee playing).

Some of you know me already since a few months and maybe those have noticed that I act a bit weird sometimes, for your opinion.

The reason is that I'm a asperger autist (weak distinct, but anyway present).

My current special interest is programming in common (also related to my occupation) and the Android platform in specific.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, that's inspiring man! I couldn't even tell :)

I know 3-4 people with Aspergers with different levels of severity. Much respect from me man, you have a great attitude around these forums :)

Also, out of curiosity, where did the name 'Tectas' come from? What is it lol?
[HTC Desire S] shanz:
Hi all, I am Shanaz, just turned 27, and from London. I am a mother of 2 (7 and 5 yrs) and I work part time in Boots Chemist as a healthcare advisor.

I got into rooting phones after I bought my first smart phone which was the hero and I really did love that phone despite how tiny it feels now compared to my ds!

I love reading, watching movies (can't wait for Avengers), huge fan of Skyrim which I play on the PS3 and since last year I got back into doing regular exercise which includes cardio and weight training and am quite addicted to it!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
It comes from my mind, but is pretty simple^^

The tec is just short for technican, because almost all my special interests (except drawing, autism in common and asperger in specific) had something to do with technology, the tas is just a symetric addition to tec^^
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
That's cool, are you possibly the only current female Desire S member? :p

Never seen a female so keen in phones and hacking ! :D (not a sexist comment by the way :) )
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oh right haha :p

Your avatar is a picture if some sort of puzzle, so i thought I was 'Tectas' was some sort of puzzle game, like Tetris, and I was a uneducated fool for having no idea what it was!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Do you know something called tectas?

But i guess not, otherwise you wouldn't have asked before what it is.

I feel just a bit curious, because i'm not sure if this is sarcasm and i missed something or not.

The picture is a bit different story, it represents the missing piece, for me.

The one i'm driven by most of the time, but also the one i miss at social interaction if you understand what i mean.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No mate, it wasn't sarcasm.

You know the puzzle game 'Tetris' right?

Your picture shows a puzzle, so I thought that 'Tectas' was a similiar puzzle game, which I have never heard of before :)

your meaning of the picture is inspiring !
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
@Tectas,

I don't think for a second that Oly was being sarcastic. Tectas - sounds a bit like tetris I guess?

As for the Aspergers side, I understand some of what it must be like. My 9 year old son was diagnosed with low-level Aspergers syndrome a few years ago. When I look at how he is, compared with me as a kid I see very little difference. I think that, in some ways, I am fortunate that these things weren't as well understood 30 years ago or I may have found myself being 'labelled' the same way he is at school - which seems to be extremely unhelpful some of the time.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

I'm Luís, 33 years old. Professionally I have a Telecom engineering background, in the last ten years I've done everything from University research to Telecom Provider R&D, with a brief stint at semi-conductor industrial production.

In my free time I used to read, though I do it less and less now with this android thing. I can proudly say I read A Game of Thrones 12 years ago, and yeah, I knew Ned's head would come off.

I have a 18 month baby boy that is by far the best thing I ever did on my entire life.

I started on this because I like picking things apart and see how they work, and plus, I'm always looking to learn something new. I think I coded my first Java line back in December or something.

Cheers

P.S. And I stay around because I like this small community. It's a jungle out there.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Great bio lowveld :)

Also, I've always wondered, is English your first language? Since you're from Portugal, I was just wondering, as your English is exceptionally good!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No, my first language is Portuguese. Actually my English is good mainly due to my reading addiction, plus a general condition afflicting most people at university-going age: lack of non-beer money. I couldn't afford books in Portuguese, had to buy the originals in English on ebay or amazon (much cheaper). Also genetics apparently play a part on this, as most of my family on my father's side picks up "extra" languages fairly easily.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
i always thought that moms who roots their phones are hot! is that normal?

i'd just been contacted by a former MI6 agent, giving me a pic of you and damn, you're handsome lowveld, far from what i imagined.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I agree it's not ideal and it's seriously disappointing that HTC treat us like children, although that's nothing really new, this has been the case for years now. Being someone who used an XTC on his DS device after only a few weeks, I've therefore always had this issue hanging over me.....

Using HTCdev means that HTC know you're unlocked and can ultimately (no matter how incorrect) use this against you when it comes to warranty return.

Any news on developer unlock or does xtc work on the HOX yet?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I've seen a pretty decent SIM-FREE offer for £225 for the Xperia P!

Pretty decent for a dual-core, 1GB RAM smartphone! Tempted ... only drawback, there's no XDA Forum for it therefore, very little development! I'd be looking to get CM9 on it ...

The Xperia S is the flagship, but its much more expensive ...

The differences, the P is 4" and qHD, whereas the S us 4.3" 720p.

The camera on the S is 12mp, the P is 8mp.

Not sure about internal memory, but the P is only 16GB, non - expandable.

Specs are still decent for the price! If there is a Dev crew behind, I would almost get the device right now!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, found a decent Xperia S deal!

Oly, the way you've been hounding the Sony devices, I have a bad feeling you're going to get one very soon. :D

Sent from a Desire S still looking for a good replacement.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Lol :p Well my contracts up in a few months, so if I want a contract phone I'm gonna have to wait, but I saw the Xperia P SIM-Free for a killer price! :p

When Sony released the Xperia lineup at MWC, I turned a blind eye towards them. I underestimated their products. They look promising and have decent dev support - much better than HTC's standards now!

On a side note, anyone else see the thread? ICS expected June or end of this month now :(
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Ya I just saw it. Frankly I just don't give a damn anymore. It'll come when it does... Haven't seen anything mindblowing on ICS and gingerbread is capable of pretty much everything. So I guess the later it comes, the better it is for me - to tempt me to hold on to the Desire S. Otherwise, I'm pretty much sure I'll be getting the SGS3. Everything I read about it is promising except for the design part. If the battery and screen are upto it, i'll take it. Still a couple of minus to go till that's established. Performance wise, its pretty much destroying the one x both in CPU and gpu benchmarks. Go to anandtech.com and read about it if you want.

Sent from a Desire S still looking for a good replacement.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah. I suppose you are right. In terms of functionality, GB offers all that ICS has. Apart from the browser though- that's one of the features I lust from ICS...

ICS has a much more refined and pleasant interface to use than GB. Also, some Apps don't work with GB now, you need to have ICS. Also there is a lot of inconsistency with GB, as most apps are updated to support ICS. E.g - some apps now have a ICS look to it - complete with the holo theme etc. Devs have all updated their apps to suit ICS, but they stopped developing for GB. This is leaving inconsistency across the phone now :(

On the otherhand, like the others have said. HTC don't owe us anything, we didn't buy the phone knowing we would get ICS ....

Oh well. Hopefully a leak may come along this month, if the update is expected in June...

Another galaxy leaks out - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cs-leak-its-not-the-galaxy-s-iii-but-has-ics/

What's interesting is that a WVGA screen makes it seem mid-range, while the chipset is the same S4 beast inside the One S and the US variants of the X.

Had a look at opendesign.blamesamsung.org

While it was pretty evident that it was in its infancy, it does look like it has a lot of promise.
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Shocking is to even consider taking Sensation on a contract right now (24 months as I understand?). ;)

On a side note, I am very happy, that I've skipped 'sensation era' by getting d.s from ebay. :) Now I just patiently wait for the right moment to make a move to multicore camp.

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
WTF is with some people?

If I come across as being slightly angry here then I won't apologise - I am indeed angry!!!

Firstly, this thread title quite clearly gives the idea that this is somewhere where we just relax and chat :D

Secondly, that question has been asked time and time again on the "Q&A" forum and people like you keep getting shot down in flames ...

Thirdly, why do people seem to think that ICS is the holy grail? I would be quite happy on GB forever with the devs we have on our device.

Read the other threads by all the other people who seem to think that they should open a new thread to ask the same question that the last guy asked

Read the forum generally and you will see, very quickly, that there is no such thing as a 'stable' ICS ROM because we haven't got kernel v3 from HTC yet

Go and consider yourself very carefully before you next ask a stupid question please - we are normally very nice people (probably the nicest forum on XDA), but for God's sake :mad:

Of course - I should have recognized the name :rolleyes:

As I said to you in the XDA "Q&A" forum when you asked when you could post in the development threads...

Just posting random cr4p? You would be better off doing that in the Off-Topic Forum - but trust me, getting your post count up just so you can ask a daft question in the Dev threads will get you a much worse response than I gave you.

Read the forum rules and guidelines. Hang around a while, watch the old-timers and learn how things are done - makes your life and ours much easier.

IMO, nothing very special about it... looks like old stuff already implemented (like Samsung had a similar browser thing with the SGS2)

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
That's great, but if you think you've found a bug then just ask a question in the 'Q&A' forum. Most so-called bugs are not actually bugs and can be solved fairly easily.

Hey Shrome,

A small querry regarding the radio.

What's the difference between my radio & the Version that you are on ?

I have never had any issues with signals n stuff, but, just wanted to know , if there are any additional benefits for me to change it ?!

Thanks !

P.S : I'm from India too & have never changed my radio till date. Since , i found the radio thread confusing to pick one !

i just searched your radio in the thread (from your sig) .. Do you suggest I change it too ?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nope, messing with your radio is a foolish thing to do, i learned it the hard way. There is absolutely no way to recover from a bad radio flash, and it can brick your phone. There is no significant improvement after changing radio, so i recommend you to stay stock. When official ICS comes, then maybe flashing the latest Radio would be necesarry, butt no point now.
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Thanks mate ! :)

i was just going through a webpage where it mentions extracting radio.img from the ROM.zip in the Temp folder (when you start the latest Indian GB RUU ) & later flash that radio.img using Android Flasher !!!

Thought i'd better ask before i begin screwing up ... ;)
