[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Do HTC actually do any form of market research, or do they just pray? I would pay One-X cntract money for that phone - it does everything I want and need in the right sized package and looks good into the bargain.

Why, or why, did HTC decide that all of us not in Japan would be happy with no MicroSD slot?

@bronx: you´d better not asked for more art.. :D

some stuff i´m currently working on (for a fairytale book, my examination project), using a black 0,2mm and 0,25mm archival ink

i can show those only as photos:

(finished the snake today :p) as you can imagine these are only the illustrations, i´m also making the book, choosing stories and fairtytales and designing the whole layout and typography.

additionally i want to show an 1/2year old brochur i made about stephen king´s dark tower series (made some quick shots..)

those illustrations were made with black ballpoint

i was really f*cked up when i saw the different black tones on this print...

but it wasnt my fault, the printer guy messed it up with color modes etc..

luckily i also got a few brochures with good black tones...

As i said, you'd better not asked...

I'm sorry :rolleyes:

and now...rip me to pieces

Anybody seen this - http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/google-planning-multiple-nexus-devices-android-jelly-bean/ ? This seems like pretty big news. The next Nexus device will be going carrier-free, it will be sold by Google online. There will be 5 different Nexus phones - one for each of the big manufacturers Samsung. Sony, HTC, LG and Motorola. OF COURSE, all will come with stock android and will get super-quick updates. Just think - an HTC Nexus device with jellybean. I will probably have a qualcomm/Tegra 3 chip, making Sense ports extremely easy and, legal. HTC won't stop devving on its own device, will it? Isn't this ALL WE'VE EVER WANTED IN THE ONE SERIES?? Then again, it may just be a silly rumor :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

PS - For the people who want an SD card - sorry guys, but even the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have one. Slowly, the SD card is being removed for in built memory :(

I gave up listening after she said the One V wins the screen battle because it has a 800x480 resolution :confused:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
They definitely meant to compare it with the wildfire s. What I don't understand is, how T3 could f**k up like that.

EDIT - ****!!!! Saw the whole video now, they say the One V wins in performance as it has the better 1 GHZ processor. And when i bought the Desire S, IT WASN'T BUDGET AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] prateek7791:
she also said that One V could record videos at 1080p :confused:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Same ,i got so pissed off when she mentioned it!

That part too :p They said the Desire S is 'old hardware'? !?! It has the exact same components (apart from screen)

I have to admit though, colours look far better on the V compared to the Desire S in that video. Also it seemed snappier, but I put that down to ICS and Sense 4.0 Lite.

Also, I must say, the One V has one sexy design. The back metal part is so gorgeous ... the sqaure iphonish design is awesome too! and I love the curve...
[HTC Desire S] :
Just thought I’d pop back and say congrats to the newly appointed ‘Recognised Contributors’! Well done guys. You deserve it.

Also to add another nugget of info in case you are still deliberating on your next phones: You know how I’ve always said that dual core wasn’t really necessary, then went and bought a quad core phone? :) Yeah, well someone on the X forum just made an app that inhibits cores, so you can choose to run on 2, 3, or 4 cores.

Running on 2 cores I can tell absolutely no difference at all. None. Squat. All games run smooth and nothing lags. HD recording and playback not affected either. Shows you how much this phone needed 4 cores. It would have been absolutely fine with a dual core processor. Only benchmarks are affected (obviously).

If anything running on 2 cores means the phone runs cooler under charging so I’m going to keep it on 2 cores. It means I can put my Case-Mate Tough Case back on! (The One X normally gets very warm charging on AC under heavy use.)

Don’t get carried away with this quad core nonsense. Choose your phone for aesthetics, personal taste and screen size/quality I reckon.

HTC One V FTW! ;)

Edit: Someone in the office just showed me their new One S. I was ready for an assault on my eyeballs when I turned the screen on, and you know what, it's not that bad. OK can't hold a candle to the One X screen, but I would say it's on par with the DS screen. Nice feel to it as well. And vastly more comfortable to hold than the One X.
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Are You serious wnp? On par? I personally prefer slcd in d.s over fuzzy qhd in one s. Also to my taste one s is actually too thin.

Tbh, I would rather get one x and force myself to get used to it's size.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I totally agree about the One S. I like the shape, but it is as thin as a "Wafer-thin Mint" :D I keep putting my DS in my back pocket and always end up sitting on it with no problems, but I'd be seriously worried about snapping the S :eek:
[HTC Desire S] :
Didn't have my DS handy to do a side-by-side comparison, just saying it was not as bad as I was expecting. Yes it is very thin.

I'm obviously biased, but yes get a One X and just work on your Hand Yoga and get used to the size! :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks a lot for the comparison wnp_79! Nice for you to pop in every now and again, feel free to do so!

Seems you are a die hard One X fan now? :p

Is there any word on the bootloader thing? Because as I know at the moment, if you want to root, you will have to enter your phone details via HTCDev, meaning you will lose warranty, as HTC have registered you've unlocked?

Whereas if we have the S-Off method like we do for the Desire S, HTC don't know we have rooted....

Thoughts? :)

I just came back from One X and One S threads and boy... Those devices have some real problems. What is this whole crap with multitasking? One S seems to shut previous app after launching next to release ram. Really? My d.s can jump between at least 4 apps without any problems. (sometimes I write an email, work with calendar, office calculator, web browser, camera and gallery simultaneously)

Overheating, extremely short battery life.... Quite high price one have to pay for all the power...
[HTC Desire S] :
I miss the ds forum. A much nicer place. Less crowded. The difference between your local pub with the regulars, and a popular sports bar in a city center.

Yeah I have insurance so was not concerned about warranty after I was satisfied I didn't have any of the hardware faults. I htcdev unlocked after a week. S-off is a way off, but only really useful for convenience. XTC clip can't work as it needs to slot into the SIM holder. Can't do that on one x. After a while you get used to fastboot pushing a kernel over separately and then flashing its modules. You can change radio and hboot for new builds that way too. HTC will close doors, revolutionary will find new ones. Just takes longer with each generation I think.

Bronx is right, the amount of people having problems does seem to be high. But its hard to judge. The ones with the problems shout the loudest. With the amount of people on the one x forum, if HTC get it 99% right, that still leaves 100 people in the unlucky 1% kicking up a fuss and making it look perhaps worse than it is.

I believe Amazon yanked the white version this week due to high returns, but that was because its out selling the black one. Myself and the CD team have had no issues. There are 12 of us active on One x. I think vodafone had a bad batch so check before upgrading.

Don't forget the largest cause for people returning the phone is something daft: there is bugger all gap between glass screen and display. This makes the screen beautiful, looks like its on the surface, cuts down glare from sunlight, and stops dust from getting between them. BUT... Dumb kids complain when they can press hard on the glass and get the lcd to discolour. The glass only has to flex a micron to touch the lcd. So don't press hard. This isn't a resistive screen. Normal use never reveals this "problem". The real problem is noob power. One kid writes "guess what fault I can force" and others go "oh yeah!" and grab their pitch forks.

There are some flaming tards on the x forum. One example this week: this phone has a micro SIM tray. You have to pop a pin in the hole next to the tray to open the drawer. Its right next to the tray! Some kid still managed to stab his pin into the microphone hole (on the other side of the phone) then started a thread about "Which holes are safe to stab?". No doubt somewhere else he had started a thread complaining about the audio on video recordings.

This. Phone. Rocks.
[HTC Desire S] :
the stock ROM does (or did) have some dodgy multi tasking problems due to some silly minfree memory values in build.prop

I think the ota for one x (1.29) addressed this, but obviously custom ROM and root access you can fix this yourself.

remember your stock DS compared to endy? I'd have been disappointed had the x come out the box perfect! That would have limited customizing to skinning. :)

Great artwork mate... Very talented

Sent from my Reaper using this cool Premium XDA App
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
No I haven't pre-ordered it oly. I don't like being jumpy with my tech. I'll wait for the release, then about a month in which i can collect all the user feedback i can, and if it seems up to the mark, i'll walk into a store and buy it. I have more than the required money saved up for the phone, and i'm also planning to pick up the allshare dongle, the c-pen and the inductive charger. But it all depends upon end user reviews here on XDA. If its anything like the One X cluster-fu*k, i'll just wait for the next flagship instead of picking up a half-baked product. I know wnp79 says he likes the phone... and i respect his opinion. But have you ever been to the One X forum? Scares the living daylight out of me, how people have gone through 4 or 5 HOX'es to get one that is 'relatively glitch free' - both in the hardware and the software department.

So rather than salivate on a half-cooked phone, i'll wait for something more 'finished' to come along. HOX has eliminated itself already, let's see what the S3 brings to the table. I'm in no hurry. It's not like the DS is biting my ass, y'know;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oh right! Yeah, I've been to the HOX forum a couple of times, it seems to have many problems! But like Wnp said a post back, only people who have problems with the phone, will post on the forums. If people didn't have problems, they wouldn't be posting!

Yeah, I see there are many issues. I've been closely following this thread, since the first leaked concpets of the One X came out in January. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476788

Hamdir, (Creator or supersmooth Rosie) is a die hard One X fan. He has so much enthusiasm. But he stated a few times in the thread the different problems and issues he had with the device and he has had several replacements, AFAIK.

SGS3 looks promising. However, its puzzling how the Japanese version is getting 2GB RAM, whilst the international is still only on 1GB. Even though I cannot think of a situation where the I will need 2GB RAM, I kinda feel annoyed that the international version will be 'downgraded'.

I really do hope HTC are working their asses off to get the update doing for us soon; it'd already mid May, and still no sign of even one leak, which suggests there isn't even an existing test build.

I was reading a couple of old threads on the first announcements of ICS for us, back In February. I remember in my i posts complaining that we would be getting the update in March/start of April!!! Now its Mid May, no update!

Anyway, like I said last week, I guess if I have waited so long, I can wait a little longer. I got many exams till the end of May (in fact got one tomorrow!)

@Dan-fish ready for B3 tomorrow?

Yeah, so I guess I should be using my time more productively instead of hanging around on XDA :)
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Imho that's some weird logic to say that only those with problems post about them and it doesn't mean anything. Well... Actually it indicates that there is a problem and getting a new phone shouldn't be a lottery. I am not getting One X (not that it's not tempting) because of ridiculous battery life and because of all those problems. I guess I will either get gs3 (siiiiiize :( ) or I will stick with d.s for a bit longer. There's nothing wrong with it, still working fine and it's powerfull enough for my needs.

Think boys and girls, think... Do You really NEED a new phone or is it just that You _want_ it?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I don't 'need' a new phone, but my existing contract is up and it is costing me £30 a month for my unlimited data plan on the DS. If I go for a new contract with a Sony Xperia S it will go up to £32 a month, or I can get HOX or SGS3 for abut £36 a month.

Seems like a no-brainer to me as I use a lot of data, so need the 'unlimited' plan to cover it.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I can't afford to go into a store and buy a phone, due to the ridiculous prices on my country. When I bought the DS, I had it shipped from Germany for 330 euro, against the 500 I would pay in a Portuguese shop. Also carrier plans are not an option, as my plan is payed by my company. (They also gave me a ****ty phone, which is locked in a drawer since day 1)

So I can't risk the One X, returning something online is a pain in the ass, let alone going through it 10 times.

After an experience with my wife's Samsung Wave (not android, but still...), I vowed I would never go Sammy way. Any company capable of screwing up that bad can't be trusted.

So for me, the DS stays. I would only switch around Christmas, but the way things are, maybe I won't switch at all. The DS is running great, there's lots of stuff out there where to spend my "nerd-reserved" money.

Just my two cents...

Cheers

500 Euros for the Desire S ?!?!?!?!? Oh wow, that's approximately 35,000 INR, for that price you can get a One X here :p 330 is almost equal to what I got it for. Anyways, I'm here for at least another year too, so I'm happy that I'll have an excellent dev around ;)
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
I get a crap phone from my company (blackberry) so have bought this desire s and my pre ordered s3 sim free, to me the desire s was my first android and I adore it but have moved on from my love of sense now and run either reaper, tectas' aokp or cm9.I don't drink and gave up smoking 18 months ago and saved the five pounds I spent every other day on cigarettes this has enabled me to buy my S3. Never owned a Samsung before but a few friends have the s2 and the g/nexus so worst comes to worst I have the equivalent of a g/nexus on steroids for 12 months and run back to HTC this time next year. :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Aha :)

Erm, I'm not feeling as confident as I did with B1 or B2...

I got 100 UMS in B1, 90 UMS in B2, and 100 UMS in the ISA. So I've already calculated, all I need is 70 UMS (B grade) in this paper, to get an A* overall :)

So I'm not too overly stressed out! As long as I get a B in this, I'm sorted :D

Yeah, I know what you mean, the papers always twist and turn the questions :( you just gotta think deep into it! For my mocks, I got mostly A/A*'s in B3, so I guess it can go either way tomorrow!

All I'm worried about is my damn Spanish and English papers :( Literature is a *****. I hate my books :( which ones are you reading?

Good luck with B3 tomorrow haha! :D
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I have always been one or two marks off an A* which now means I can't get an A* overall. Gutted!

Plus, i always screw up my ISA's. First time i managed to get 48, 48, 50. I didn't even think it was possible to do that bad

I don't mind literature. I've already done the paper on the two books. I did Lord of the Flies and of mice and men. Now I have to poetry on the relationship section of Moon on the Tides. I hate language though. 2 1/2 hour exam of pure boredom!

Thanks. You too. I'm retaking B2 aswell (not sure why) but I feel confident about B2 so I'm just hoping for a good mark in B3
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ooo, seems quite bad, are you like doing B2 right after B3? No break? B2's paper in January was so hard! I was quite surprised at my result! Good luck on that too!

I did the Literature on 2 books and the Language paper last year :) but I'm resitting both lol

I was gutted though, for my Language I was 2 marks of an A* :( so I had to wait a whole year to resit it! And we did a mock on the paper we sat last year, and I did even worse that in the real exam aha! I'm not feeling ready!

we read Lord of the Flies and To Kill a mockingbird last year, that paper was hard!

Ah, poems on Thursday :( not looking forward to that! We are doing the Place section...

Have you had your foreign language papers yet?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah i think so. I remember that B3 paper. That was horrible. I remember when we got out and i started comparing answers, i was sure i failed.

I did part 1 of literature in January and got an A (again one mark of an A*, I'm cursed) but haven't done language yet. Only the mock.

My foreign language is last! A whole week after my Russia paper which is extremely annoying. I heard about french though and droopy the dog! (If you do edexcel)
