Obviously not :rolleyes: I am starting to think that the whole "10 posts" isn't strict enough for XDA given the number of stupid questions we're getting from people who can't be arsed to actually read :eek:

Maybe people shouldn't be allowed to post anything at all until they've been a 'read-only' member for 2 weeks - that would force them to spend the time reading.
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Italy is gonna win mate
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Great idea. I'm really tired of all the people asking the same questions over and over again in the same thread. And since they can't post there, they either post in threads like this or spam everyone with PMs (which is even worse), they should be forced to be a read-only member for two weeks, which will practically force them to do what they should, use Search.

The thing is, it's been more than a year since the Desire S released, which in most countries means that people are done with their warranty. Suddenly, the daredevil inside them has waken up, and they have decided to come to XDA to "make their phone cool". Quiet a lot of these people are helpful to others, and actually read the threads, but most of them are just stupid spammers. Everytime I read the Fallout thread, I want to shoot someone.

We'll see about that ;)
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Its no different in the gnex thread. If anything its worse. The questions are hilarious.

Oh and Italy will beat Spain if they continue to play with 8 midfielders

[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
It can be played without net, only the license check at the startup needs a connection (like at many other high quality games), but you anyway already found a solution^^

It's final fantasy, a must have for every nostalgic, even when it's pretty over priced, the old parts of final fantasy (up to ten), have ever been worth the money for my opinion^^

Tonight's Big Game?

Hello All..So before the football is over.....Simple

My questions

[Q1] Who do you want to win?

[Q2] Who do you think will win?

[Q3] Score prediction?

[Q4] Any other comments?

My Answers

[A1] Spain

[A2] Spain

[A3] 2-1

[A4] just want a quality game, would love extra time and wish they final was on a Saturday, the thought of work in the morning is depressing and limits the enjoyment and the liquid consumption
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Everything else is the same, except I don't want absolutely any extra time. First day back to school tomorrow, game starts at 12:00 am here. It'll end at 2 under normal conditions, may drag up to 3 if there is extra time, and then I'll be sleeping in class, but then again, almost everyone else will too ;)

I suppose that Iniesta and Fabregas will score for Spain, Balotelli for Italy, although the latter seems to be on a roll and may immensely affect the result of the match.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Agree with Ben's predictions too, and Shrome, yeah, Balotelli is on a roll!

Personally I want it to go penalties, I love the suspense (apart from when England is playing) especially in the finals!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Spain (especially Fabregas) has a pretty nice history when it comes to penalties. Either way, we'll see what happens. I just don't want it to be 0-0, I want goals :p Hated the stalemate in the previous match.

GOAL!!!

Spain are looking really strong today!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That was marvelous !!!!!!!!!! I hope there are more of these, don't care from which side.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Yeah Spain made the first one

That's how we should've started the game vs Italy...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That's it, game over. Spain's definitely winning this one :D I didn't expect a clean sheet though......

Been lurking around XDA and saw superkid has been getting into jelly bean. Will be interesting to see how far he gets since he brought us ICS first through an SDK port.
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Spain was much stronger I admit:eek:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Apparently, he has no time on his hands now, too busy with college :( I'm pretty sure he won't start a port of his own, but I'm also pretty sure that if someone else does, he'll help as much as he can, he just can't stay away from this stuff ;)

That was a shock for me too, I assumed it would at least be close, maximum of 2 goal difference, but this was too much (not complaining though, love the result :) ). Buffon is a pretty nice keeper, and Italy has pretty nice strikers too. Also, the Group stage match between these two was a draw. Guess that Spain had an extra bit of inspiration this time.
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
But quality of Spanish players is u know... Italy don't had that quality players
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Anyone use Nova Launcher? It seems to have this horrible stutter in the app drawer which seems intentional since no other launcher has it. I'm running IceCold right now and Trebuchet and Apex are smooth. I prefer Nova to both of them but that stutter is just there which is annoying.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That stutter is truly irritating. You can change Animation Settings in Nova Settings, I tried every single combination, still not as good as Apex. Apex is my favorite launcher for AOSP ROMs

Good news - OTA for Incredible S rolling out (in places other than china :p) - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-405-1-ota-bringing-ice-cream-sandwich-4-0-4/ (XDA Thread - http://bit.ly/NWEhQA). Now, the Desire S update should follow, and once it comes out somewhere in Europe, the source kernel should follow, 2 weeks tops, otherwise HTC is getting a flood of tweets, and losing a LOT of customers :p
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Hey, they lost me already. I'm 99% sure, that my next device will be nexus. :cool:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I thought you loved Sense! :eek:
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
think ill be going for sgs 3 next... had enough of htc
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I do, but the reason why I'm using go launcher ex now is to learn to live without it. :) Also, with nexus it's 'oh so easy' to get a proper working cm, so this plus ics/jb native optimisations render sense less important. I said 99%, because You never know... ;) Some people were quite sure, that Italy will win and now?? :) I would love to see a truly great htc device in next 6 months, but I won't be an early adopter, also it needs to be amazing, so I won't regret having slow updates of software...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah I think I'm gonna go Nexus as well. The fact that I don't like sense makes it easier to switch. I'm always sticking to AOSP builds now despite what my signature may tell you. Life is so much easier with a nexus especially with all this unlocking bootloader rubbish where my warranty will most likely be voided. If not a nexus then definitely a galaxy, I've just learnt to stay away from HTC.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Biggest load of crap I've ever read. If this is the case, I'm 100% steering for Nexus as my device.

Seems unreliable though, as nexus S has a wvga screen.

[HTC Desire S] :
watching all this video's of new butter android makes me wish i'd bought the nexus Du you guys know what is the hierarchy Google supported phone? like with HTC One v<s<x ??
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Galaxy nexus > nexus s > nexus one

Although I wouldn't go below a Nexus S
[HTC Desire S] :
thanks! yeah one seems to old for now but even nexus s looks "bulky" among the sleek look of never phones... galaxy nexus is beyond my wallet so im sticking with desire s....
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
If this is true, it probably means that no device that came with gingerbread is getting JB, except the nexus s (htc isn't updating theirs for sure....). This is strange, since the Nexus S only has a single core processor, while many others are dual core.

Just shows that Google supports their phones till the hardware can take it, the N1 didn't get ICS due to hardware limitations, and most users weren't actually mad at Google. Apple just gives a version with half the features to older devices. This is worse IMO, at least every OEM that provides an update provides a full one.

Sent from a device waiting for Kernel 3, WAKE UP HTC
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
The only part seeming reliable to me is with touchwiz and jb in combination (but not because it wouldn't work, just because the "old" touchwiz would need to be updated i guess), the rest is bull**** for my opinion, the nexus s is single-core wvga screen device with less ram than the ds and the part with quad-core preffered, nexus s -> single-core, galaxy nexus -> dual-core.

Last but not least, samsung got close to nothing to do with the update for the galaxy nexus, the hardware is build by them, everything else is done by google.

Advice

OK guys - Need some advice, My DS seems to have developed a hardware fault over the past few days... The screen is registering sometimes multiple touches and other times not registering touches at all. I don't think it's software related.. 1 because i'm using fallout and nobody else has reported this and 2 as after using the "key test" in CWM it is not giving output with the side of the screen from which I am having any issues. Have spoke to HTC who say they won't repair the phone under warranty it is has been rooted etc. Does anyone have any information on this, Surely rooting the phone can't effect a "HARDWARE" fault

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Exactly. Simply put, they don't want to update the galaxy s ii as it would take a lot of work from them since the SHS3 and 2 have different skins, and it would be worth nothing, since they've already sold the devices and a new one is out. Same is the case with HTC. If they want to update the Sensation/Evo 3D, they must make a Sense 3.7 first, they can't just give old devices Sense 4. Really bad thing IMO.

And I'm 100% sure samsung has 0 control or contribution over the G Nex/Nexus S update (except, of course the code they gave to AOSP for all devices to use, which is very little).

@dannyhoughton74 Not even remotely possible, there is no chance rooting causes a hardware issue like this. Try and flash a completely different ROM like CM9/AOKP/MIUI or go back to your favorite Ginger bread ROM and see if it still persists.(although Key touch seems decisive to me) If it's there, then it's definitely a hardware issue, not ROM related. find a tutorial to return phone back to stock for revolutionary, and use it. No one will be able to tell you rooted. Then, get the phone replaced by HTC. Root your new one, and enjoy :) (Do not try this stuff if your warranty period is over, but I guess it's 2 years in UK so your good to go :p)
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Thanks Shrome - My thoughts exactly, That is what i'm just in the middle of looking at as you replied... Not sure why HTC would tell me it could be caused by rooting.... Anything to get out of their warranty. To be honest i'm not gonna even bother trying to flash older ROMS or alternative ROM's - If it worked I wouldn't be happy as I love fallout ;)

For me the key test was decisive enough... Did do a google search on "screen unresponsive on desire s" and was surprised at the return, It seems to be a popular fault with the a few of the Desire models... Just in the middle of downloading a stock ROM now but for me the hard part is going to be using a crappy handset whilst it's in for repair, Especially with the rate Lowveld is pumping out the upgrades to fallout...
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Anyone got any idea where I can get a stock RUU as an .exe file from with a decent download speed. I'm getting 42KBS at moment so it's taking forever, The only other downloads of stock i've found are zip files

[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:

HELP

Really hoping someone can help me, I need to send my handset﻿ back to HTC for repair, I have downgraded the Hboot etc on the handset etc as per http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X71RtQQjbqk&feature=player_embedded The handset is now showing a "S-ON". However I have tried several RUU's but none seem to work, I am in the UK and on the Orange network, My Hboot version is "0.98.0000" can you please advise which ROM I need and where to download... Thanks

This is really beginning to annoy me now as my handset has no ROM on as such to be able to boot.... Thank guys
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
I unlocked it some time ago but on previous rooting i didn't... I was re locked
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Have you created a goldcard with the RUU as well?

Instructions if you need it

Either way, flashing a RUU will remove root.
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
