[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
Well the Gnex launch was a successful one I guess since we sold out in a matter of hours........ oh wait thats because we got a whole 3 devices wtf??

Seriously sometimes I think they make it hard for us on purpose, I can not for the life of me understand why something with such high expectations would be over looked like that , I mean we have been selling the Touch since late sep early oct of last year and I promise you I sell more ET4G than I do iphones mainly because I know this phone is a 1000x better than than any re-stickered iphone product (not knocking Mac) and we have absolutley no cool accessories and are even out of the fesw that we do offer and we Already have 15-20 cool quality cases for the DAM Gnex!!

Dang!!

Anyways Im waiting to see the EVO as well I will admit i am sceptic about all HTC at this point , believe me I know I have been selling them for 1 1/2 yrs now and do not see any phones with as many probs as the HTC EVO line up, So I will have to wait and see
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Totally with you on the Exynos. Once Samsung gets the dual core Exynos or the new quad core they are working on to work with LTE it will be sweet. I want to see that before buying a new phone. The ATT Galaxy Note does not perform nearly as well as the international version with the dual core Exynos. The S4 chip in the Evo LTE is pretty fast too and it will be popular.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought this phone already has a dual core exynos with a Mali 400.

Maybe you meant a quad core exynos with a Mali 600?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
gs2 until lte is here in my area

or gnex before unlimited is taken away
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
I think he is talking about the a15 exynos 2.5 dual core ver the 1.5 quad core that they are saying we are getting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I would like to add my $0.02 to this discussion as well.

1. We have pretty good 4G speeds in my area and I'll stick to this phone till LTE network is in sight.

2. New HTC sounds good but in my book no removable battery is deal breaker. And on another note. After HTC promised unlocked bootloader last year for all new phones we haven't seen a single one. Even the opposite they pushed updates to lock bootloaders that have been unlocked by devs. Don't like layers. Will stay away from them for that reason only.

3. I have an iPhone 4S (business phone given by company). We have been just recently moved from BB's to iPhones. I've asked VP of our company "Why iPhone and not any of android phones (companies account is with VW)?". The answer was very simple. The iPhone is easy to control. Period. And being controlled by others is one thing I hate most. I move to US about 10 years ago because I didn't like to be told by others what I can or can't do. So I'll never pay for equipment and than wait to for someone to tell me how I can use it.

4. As for other options and phones it will all depend when we will get LTE. I don't want to give up DL speeds up to 15-16 Mbs and upload speeds up to 2.2-2.5 Mbs. That's what I'm getting in many areas of Las Vegas. Don't think I'll be happy with 3G speeds.

Precisely, forgot to add the a15 after dual core exynos.

[HTC One S] jipi:
I received my phone from Orange Spain. The phone itself is very nice, quick and smooth and everything you have read about it in general review is correct. It is a very good phone and I am happy with it. BUT here are the things I don't like:

1. Micro oxydation is very nice looking although it smells a little like dirty hair. And, unfortunately, like it has been reported I have a small edge chipped. I don't know yet if I will return it for that.

2. The default browser is new and some HTML5 games are incompatible with it or play very slow. Android is still behind Apple iOS Safari Browser and this is very bad since I work for a mobile game network. I suspect this is not a problem of the phone but the ICS browser.

3. I have installed the Chrome browser and it crashes almost everytime I use it. Not only Chrome crashes but the whole phone. The phone freezes and the only way to reboot it is to maintain the power button pressed for a while.

4. Camera is fantastic. I tested a few times and worked very well. But the first time I really used it I could take the first picture then the screen became black. I mean, everything I should see through the camera stayed black. The buttons and menu were visible but I couldn't use them. I shut down the app and reload it with same problem. I had to reboot the phone to fix it.

I have one app (Live TV from Lyric) with a shortcut on the homescreen. Everytime I reboot, the icon disappear from the homescreen and is replaced with the Android robot icon. I have to replace the icon every time I boot. The app doesn't disappear, only the shortcut.

5. Maybe this is the most important problem. Reception is not very good and many times I loose the GSM signal totally, then it comes back. My HTC Desire had better recepción. 3G and HSDP is veery slow when reception is weak (2 bars or under)

The doubts I had:

- When I read reviews about this phone I had my doubts about the screen resolution and pentile technology. This is bull****. The screen is great and more than enough for a high end phone.

- Battery and autonomy. I don't care about having a non removable battery. All my previous ones had removable battery and I never used a spare. The autonomy of this phone is good and much better than my Desire. I can keep it running with a lot of use during a full day and probably two days on light use.

- Non removable memory. It is advertised to have 16GB user memory but the reality is way different: I have "only" 10GB available and I feel ripped off. Although I know I will probably never use so much memory (I don't store music or movies).

Conclusion: I would probably buy this phone again even after knowing the limitations. But I hope some software fixes will come.
[HTC One S] kadison:
I haven't bought one yet but i'm the same as you having doubts about the S's screen. I have viewed the S and X side by side in a shop and obviously the X's panel is much better to look at, but in my opinion it's the only thing the X has going for it over the S.

The per-core performance of the S is better, it's easier to hold and use, feels better built, the battery lasts at least as long if not longer and it's cheaper. I don't really care about NFC and the better front facing camera on the X as I'll never use them (apart from maybe the mirror app!)

The X seems laggy to me even though it really shouldn't. I know it has a fair few more pixels to push around but the GPU is marginally better than the S so should breeze through. This is especially noticable on the world clock... tap the globe to make it full screen and spin/zoom it. The S is super smooth and the X is very choppy in comparison.

So in all I think I can deal with the pentile matrix... I just don't want to buy it and have HTC announce a One S "2" in a few months with a 720p display! :(
[HTC One S] aureleuz:
kadison;

that shouldn't be a concern. because at any given time there will be coming better and better phones

- so don't worry that this one will get outdated, because it's not. Just look at the Desire HD or the Galaxy S2 (which people still buying btw)

I'm superhappy with this phone, although I can't wait for the xda development to start working on replacements to Sense 4.0
[HTC One S] AndroidBlizzard:
Not many people will continuously look at a One X and a One S screen.

AMOLED displays have been impressive on my friend's Windows 7 device, and since I'm coming from a device from less than 200 PPI, it should be a great screen.
[HTC One S] paulpenny:
Been disappointed with my first few days with it. It seems to suffer from constant crashes where the phone reboots itself.

I've tried stock and some custom roms but am still getting random reboots.
[HTC One S] FRuiTBoOT:
Were you getting Crashes and Random reboots before you Rooted and started flashing other ROMS? or do you think it might be because you are flashing different ROMS that might have some minor bugs here and there?
[HTC One S] slipperyp:
I don't know about the original poster but this happens with my One S with the stock ROM. It seems to maybe happen when I'm at a wifi connection boundary (maybe?) but a couple times a week, I'll either:

1) notice the phone rebooting as it's just sitting idle on my desk

2) hear the "I just crashed and am rebooting" sound from the phone in my pocket

3) go to use it and notice the notification bar icon telling me it just recovered from a crash.

I'm sending the crash data to HTC every time, hoping they're prioritizing the fix because though it has never crashed on me like this while I'm using it (which is weird...), it's starting to get annoying.
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
I have not had a single random reboot, using WIP CM9.
[HTC One S] lrate:
I really regret smelling it now lol.

Agree about the display, reviews were making a big deal put of the pentile display but it's a non issue for me. Only issue I've had, coming off an iPhone 4, has been the size of the phone. Maybe I just have small hands but not finding it too comfortable to use with one hand.
[HTC One S] FixedTheFernBack:
My girlfriend had the One X and i have the One S. I can definitely notice the difference with the pentile matrix on my phone especially with small writing and horizontal lines. (the edge of the messaging icon for example looks like a dotted line) but honestly it's only noticeable if im using the phone in bed and using it really close to my face. The One X is crisper looking but it's a little washed out compared to the One S's screen. The blacks on my screen are way darker compared to the X.

I've had my One S for just over a week now and have yet to see any rebooting or crashing. The phone has been fantastic so far except that i get absolutely terrible reception. I had a Desire before this phone and in places where i used to get full bars i can now maybe get one, if it's not in emergency mode. The signal bounces around from really good to really bad (mostly hovering around -107dbm) which is not good at all. I took the phone back and got it replaced as well as the sim card and i still have issues.

Overall i really like it, but i think i might have to take it back and get something else that can keep good reception.
[HTC One S] v3n3:
Ive got my phone for about 4 days now, and its the best investment ive made in the past few years :-P

I allready worked on a few Android devices ( Root etc etc ) but newer owned one myself, so the first thing I did was Unlocking, Rooting and flashing LeeDroid´s Firmware onto it.

And the phone is fantastic.

Far beyond what I expected.

The Battery life is great, my friends are allready pissed because their iPhone cant take so long OnScreen-Times :-P

I really hope that there will be [S-OFF] and the Kernel Source available soon :-)
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I'm with the phone for 6 weeks now (bought it in Switzerland unbranded) and agree with you so much.

I'm thinking of sending it to Greece for "repair" although I'm not sure they can make the network reception and data connection loss disappear unless a new firmware is out, which I can update myself, if there will be (I'm on 1.78 currently).

Unfortunately, unlike you, I cannot anymore return it for a refund :(

I had Desire which was magnificent and am so depressed with this phone in terms of its reception! Other than that, it's magnificent as well!!!
[HTC One S] lbrfabio:
I have crash too. for example it crashes with this and this

It is a common or just a few devices have this problem?
[HTC One S] avetny:
This phone got no problems.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Got my One S a week ago. The black one. Was using a Desire before that. Here are my findings:

* Size: It is a bit unwieldy. The fact that the entire front side responds to touch doesn't make it easier to hold. I probably have to grow into it.

It feels like the chances of dropping it are higher and the results of dropping it are worse.

* Power button: A bit hard to reach and hard to press. On the Desire we have 'trackpad to wake'. I miss that.

* Reception: I don't know about actual signal, but the bars in the notification area jump back and forth pretty much between 1 and 4.

* Battery: About a full day. Of course since the device is new, I play with it more than normal. Really too soon to tell. I remember on the Desire the battery life was a bit disappointing in the beginning, but became better with time. (Better calibration? Better kernels & ROMs?)

* Body: The weight, the thinness, the shape, damn this is a marvelous piece of engineering! The MAO aluminium feels fantastic.

I don't use a case and I don't plan to. No point (for me) to hide its beauty in order to retain it. Maybe a screen protector, not sure yet. No chipping or scratching (yet?). Dropped it once, from about 1 meter, on wooden floor (not on concrete). [SH24TW]

* General performace: It just screams.

* Screen: Bigger, brighter, more pixels, yummm! (I realize that this is a counterpoint to "It is a bit unwieldy".) I am personally not bothered by pentile matrix layout

* WiFi is better: Stronger signal, faster joining, better speed, less latency.

* GPS: Was already pretty good on the Desire, but on the One S it is even better. Stronger signal, better accuracy, GLONASS.

* Camera. I'm just blown away with the awesomness of the camera.

I am very impressed so far.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] Nick L:
My experience so far (have had it for 10 days now):

-Phone looks amazing - miles ahead of pretty much everything else out there. Makes my Sensation feel like a brick. That said, I agree with some that the gray finish is quite slippery and it can be hard to get a good grip. Build quality is fine, no creaks or anything.

-The non-removable battery and lack of SD slot are non-issues. Battery life is good so far and I've never used more than 5GB on my previous phones so 16GB should be more than enough.

-Screen looks great. PenTile is not a problem for me.

-Sense 4 is very nice both aesthetically and functionally, better than 3.6 and certainly at least as good as stock ICS (I have tried all three for extended periods on my Sensation as well, so they were all on an even footing).

-Very happy with the performance. No random reboots, crashes, or major bugs so far. Only issues I have are 1) Wi-Fi randomly disconnecting and then immediately re-connecting and 2) in areas with weak "4G" reception the signal will spike between no bars and full bars occasionally. Hopefully the OTA will fix these.

-Camera is excellent. Haven't had much chance to play with it but it's really, really fast and the quality is very good.

Overall, very satisfied.
[HTC One S] Meedmo:
Couple of weeks in.

I got 2 of these phones during the week of release, and so far i haven't got a bad word to say about it.

Reception has been superb. Not a single crash or reboot. Rooted straight away and have used several ROMs before settling with one I like. Not wanting to repeat what others have said, but i'm very happy with this phone.

My wife on the other hand, has done nothing but moan about reception issues. Although I think that says more about her, than it does the One S.
[HTC One S] krazygreen:
I've tried extensively to convert my iPhone using wife to an Android device. I bought her a Galaxy Nexus, she said it wasn't comfortable in one hand. I got her the SGS2, she had the same complaint. Purchased the Amaze, she said the screen was too washed out (?) and Sense 3.0 wasn't her "cup of tea". I gave her a G2X for the hell of it, which she liked, but ultimately, wanted her iPhone 4 back. So, after hell and high water trying to find her the "perfect" Android device, she's back to her iPhone 4. I told her that I didn't want her to feel pressured just because I'm an Android user, and she said that the main reason she wanted her iPhone back was to facetime with her family in Canada, which I can't argue with.

So about a month later, I purchased the One S. She instantly was in shock by the gorgeous hardware design. She asked if she could use it for a few days to see if she can make the switch. So, after using it for a week (she wouldn't give it back to me), she said that she couldn't believe how vibrant the screen was (the regular consumer who has no idea what pentile is will not notice this "flaw", and that's speaking strictly from the end user who see's the screen for what it is, 4.3 inches of pure beauty), how quick and easy Sense 4 was to use, and how well it fit in her pocket. So by that point, I wanted my phone back, (I switched between an Amaze and SGS2 temporarily), and ultimately, ended up purchasing one for her. Without my knowledge, she went and got a complete guard on the entirety of the phone, as well as a white skull candy case. She's kept it in perfect condition (learns from the best =) and has officially (at least for now) retired her iPhone.

Since most of her friends are iUsers, she can boast about being the only one with common sense to use what she believes is a superior device (which it is, in our opinion). I've dealt with her whiny friends who have asked me, "why did you let her buy a droid?!" My answer is, it isn't a droid, a droid is a phone made by Motorola, first off, and second, because it's just better for her personal use, and in many ways, then the iPhone itself. They then proceed to balk on about how the iPhone just "works" etc. etc., but after they got a glimpse of the One S, she was actually able to convert a longtime iPhone user into purchasing a white Galaxy S2 for Sprint! Two down, a worlds to go, but no less, it's encouraging.

The real test begins when the "New iPhone" is released, we'll see then how she reacts. But for now, I feel as though this phone has really done well for HTC and transcended a lot of the "complications" iUsers have when trying to convert to Android. The One S has such good touch sensitivity, that it compares to that of the iPhone, where as I've noticed using the Galaxy Nexus and SGS2 that the sensitivity of touch wasn't as prevalent as these HTC devices. It's likely just perception, but it's something I've noticed.
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Once every 2-3 days, I 'll get the weather lockscreen, instead of the one I have chosen. It's not annoying, but have you guys noticed anything like that?
[HTC One S] wayne850:
go to the weather app-> settings-> untick the last option
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
Yes I do. For me it's a little bit odd.

It's not persistent though since once I unlocks it and put the phone into standby and wakes it up again it's back to the screen I have choosen. But once in a while the weather lockscreen pops back up again.

Oh.... so it's some kind of notification for todays weather? And here I thought it was some kind of bug... heheheh

Now I just wish there was an easy way to put the weather widget on any kind of lockscreen... so far I haven't got to customize the lockscreens with widgets...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optyler:
Hi,

it's time for me to leave the great XXJVK to one of the Ice Cream Sandwich's ROM...

I have just one issue, i haven't the clockwork mod in the XXJVK and i can't install it because some Kernel issue...

My question, how can i do the trick :) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omarjivraj:
1) Get usb drivers for your i9000

2) Download this update this site provides--"http://androidadvices.com/valuepack-update-samsung-galaxy-face-unlock-i9000-xxjvu-236/"

3) all flashing details in the website very easy, just strictly follow it.

4) Root the same, follow this page to root it--"http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-pack-xxjvu-236-firmware/"

5) Download the ICS flavour you want, put it on the root of your internal sd card, and as after rooting you will have CWM, you can wipe cache and Wipe partition plus Dalvik cahe if needed and flash.

Much like seidio has.for evo and Photon And a few other phones.

Any hard to....find off the wall Companys have this yet?

Hello dear community,

I have a strange issue with my HTC ONE S:

HOME button activate on itself and loop(switch from miniatures to home page). After a while the three buttons are de activated.

Interrupt any activity you can have.

Not due to hand/finger misuse: it can happen phone lying on a desk…

Remark: It happens only when GSM/3G signal is very low. Plane mode solve the issue, but then it is hard to phone...

you can find a demo of buttons deactivated here(http removed I can't post links):

Do you have similar situations?

Do you think I should send it back to supplier? Or a baseband update could help if I'm patient?

[HTC One S] pierre.grand:
OK, I suppose I'm alone in this situation...
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
Looks like a good return reason.

Some Antennas are directly behind the snsitivie buttons (below the lower plastic cap) so maybe some are misaligned and cause interference bad enough to trigger the buttons. You mention of using flight mode to cease the problem kind of makes me think this might be the case.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
Im getting similar issue. Had this twice, thought its because of "shock", had this while driving and using maps, but just had it in my hands...

Any info about this problem?
[HTC One S] pierre.grand:
issue gone

Hi,

The bug didn't happen since 4 days now.

I travelled by car on 350km using GPS, sms...

No more issue even with low signal.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
you did any fix? or it disapiered itself?
[HTC One S] pierre.grand:
Hello,

at the beginning I did 2 factory reset but the bug still happened.

Then no other change.

what I can notice is that the radio signal level is changing all the time between very different value even if not moving...I think there is some kind of radio instability...

EDIT: "WCDMA Only" setting is the key! That disables EDGE that is the source of problem.
[HTC One S] danmick:
Home screen button problem

Hi,

I'm also having this problem and am about to get my third replacement One S. I started a thread about it on the Vodafone forum which a few other people have now replied to with the same issue, although no one as yet can figure out exactly what's going on. I too think that it has something to do with the antenna being located near to the home button, as the problem seems to show itself every time I make an EDGE connection. HTC are apparently investigating my issue and have asked me to send them a bug report.

I'm not allowed to post the link to the Vodafone thread on here however you can find it by typing "htc one s home button problem" into Google.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
After today I stopped believing its releated to H/3G signal change.

I just unlocked my phone (gps/wifi/mobile data - all OFF) and right after unlocking home button glitched... Didnt do anything...

Im gonna go for exchange soon

P.S. question - how are phones exchanged for you guys? They take it and send to service center, or just exchange right away? How it works? Never done that
[HTC One S] danmick:
I'm with Vodafone and they just offered to exchange it as soon as I explained the problem to them (I was within 7 days of having received it). The second phone had the same issue though so they then agreed to replace that as well, but they then sent me a reconditioned phone by mistake, so I'm now waiting for a fourth phone.
