Anyone had problems with eBay before? I've just sold a laptop as for parts or not working and the guy has messaged me saying that he would like a partial refund because certain parts on the laptop are gone and I didn't mention this. I've told him to take it through eBay but I am in the right, am I not? Since the buyer knew the laptop was faulty and I never claimed the parts he was talking about weren't working hence not putting them in the description.
[HTC Desire S] Forcefire:
If you listed the laptop correctly and stated what worked and what didn't work then you should be fine, items sold as faulty aren't usually covered by Ebay buyer protection.

Finally got to order the Nexus 7 for work on Monday and it arrived yesterday. Seriously nice-looking bit of kit. Immediately updated itself to JB (v4.1.1) as soon as I linked it to a Google account. Dead impressed - just wish it had an SD-Card slot, but you can't have everything in life. For the price it is well worth it, and I may just have to get myself one.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
@Simon nice! I suppose you could accept that, considering the brilliant price of the tablet. I'd love to get hands on one of them myself.

Back to UK tomorrow.... Nooooooooo!!! Last 3 weeks had indeed gone way to fast :( back to reality, exam results, and another long year at school.

Hope you have a good trip back. You missed 9 days of brilliant weather - back to rain as of yesterday :eek:

Guys anybody knows where offline google maps are stored. I mean I used make available offline option n saved map tiles. Where they exist on phone so that i can save them for future use
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
@simon root the nexus 7 then buy a USB otg cable, no need for an SD card. Rooting the device is painfully easy too, as is returning back to stock :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
When I buy mine - I might just do so. This one is for work, demoing software to clients, and my boss might not appreciate it too much if I started doing things like that.

Thanks for the advice though - I planned to have a look this evening at rooting for when I get one, at the custom ROMs available etc.

Are you going to watch the footie tonight? I was in Cardiff yesterday with work, but have had no chance with getting tickets for any of the Olympic events.

Is it just me? or does anyone else find it annoying that we have ROMs that claim to be full sense 4.0 and then say except Rosie. Surely if it's missing something is not full!

Loving the Olympics.....go team GB!

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Lol, there are only 2 full Sense 4 ROMs, Virtuous Infinity, and maybe Cooldroid. I do find it annoying, since it's a Primo port, it can never be full Sense 4, just 4A with parts of Sense 4. Honestly, i don't think I'll ever come back to Sense 4A now, it's either Virtuous Infinity or Andromadus for me :)

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Since, I'm a signed up Apex launcher user now, can see that I may also jump on jelly bean once it's settled and becomes daily stable, I reckon that once (if and when) we have kernel source and can overclock then may be the only way to get that that extra bit of performance from our trusted DS.

although I'll need to be demonstrated a recommended contacts, Callender, camera and phone application replacement of the quality of the sense ones before I'll move from fallout.

Sob :(

At least I have my WiFi back! Time to try some new ROMs!

Any recommendations? I see Shrome is quite keen on the new Infinity ROM, what about Superkid's JB with kernel 3.0?
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Running Superkid's ROM since a week

loving JB :)

Download here

Apart from a bit of blinking issue in games, HD video playback and camcorder everything else works :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
As I said, Infinity for Sense, Superkid's Andromadus builds for AOSP (jellybean). There is no reason to use AOSP ICS anymore, although whether you use Infinity with all full Sense 4 features or Fallout with it's speed is completely up to you. Superkid managed to build a kernel off the One V sources with help from the Andromadus team, and this is probably the fastest ROM ever :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks guys! Just tried both, impressed!

Infinity is really advanced. I love the tweaks, much more than Fallout and more customizable. The sense 4 3D launcher is brilliant too, 3D effects are smooth, and we can pinch to zoom out.

Still some sizing issues like the app drawer, it doesn't seem to be correctly aligned. Other than that, it is still pretty similar to Fallout, so its not a huge game changer.

JB on the other hand is BRILLIANT! its so much faster than CM9 and AOKP. There's no lag in the lock screen anymore, and transitions are smoother. (I especially like that the recent app menu opens much faster now).

I love Google Now. It kicks siri's ass! Couldn't get offline typing to work... I get an error connection...

Nice to see we have a kernel 3 AOSP ROM now, at least it could possibly be my daily driver.

Or something got messed up in _my_ system/configuration = no Camera icon?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
For rapidly developing ROMs it is strongly recommended to do a full wipe between versions. I have no issues on the latest build

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] :
Yes, I know. I made a full wipe when I was switching from AOSP to this rom, I thought wiping cache and dalvik cache would be enough between beta1 and beta2. Still, everything works OK, homescreens are true butter now ;), except I haven't got this one particular Camera icon in my app drawer. The camera itself is working, funny I can even see its icon in the 'dialogue' boxes.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Camera is integrated into gallery on JellyBean. There is no separate icon.

If you use Apex you can select the camera activity as an icon on Homs screen.

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Based on 4.0.4? A bit slow. I would've thought it would be jelly bean. Still nice to see HTC looking to improve speed
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Why are many people so eager about Sense 4.0? I see it as a MAJOR downgrade on every front :/
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
In what ways? Most people see it as a downgrade because the only Sense 4 ROM they try is the lite version, and they simply make an assumption that sense is bad.

Tell me, have you used Sense 4.0 fully? Please care to explain how it is a downgrade from Sense 3.6.
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Mainly - the launcher itself. Tighter dock, no icon background on lockscreen, weather/clock widget looks worse, strange default wallpaper (and the classic colourful one is not available), transparent status bar, no endless scrolling, strange browser design compared to sense 3.6, no quick setting (WTF?), white background for Setting (double WTF?). So, basically it's downgrade mostly in terms of design, and less in terms of functionality.

And NO, I haven't used nor 4.A, niether 4.0 ROMs, as the Sense 4 doesn't attract me in any way, and I'm absolutely happy with Sense 3.6 (and at the same time dissappointed with the fact that Sense UI will look like 4.0 for a long time).

An unattracting UI style and inability to use 3.6 (especially since there are no S3.6 ROMs for newest HTC devices like One S) are the reasons why I'm not going to buy newer phones from HTC

Just had a play with a galaxy s3 at a store ...man is that screen huge compared to DS or what !! ... dont understand the *****ing about pentile matrix arrangment though ..screen seemed gorgeous...wish i could buy one now and slap jelly bean aosp on it :(
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Never really used AOSP ICS properly, for longer than an hour. I always switched back to a stable ROM on my DS.

Just put AOKP Stable release on my Galaxy Tab yesterday, and man it is wonderful. I love it, its so smooth and fast. Had a good play with all the tweaks and I love them. I especially love the option to switch LCD density. Its not so important for a phone, but for my tab, its perfect as the 7inch is halfway between a phone and tablet. Tablet mode or phone mode suits the tablet! I can also benefit from tablet optimized apps which is fantastic.

However, if I put phone mode on, the on screen navigation bars are still there (like on the GNex) is there Any way to remove them?

One thing to note is that the ROM uses a 2.36 kernel, and surprisingly its perfectly stable! Been using it heavily and no reboot, crashes etc. Is this because the drivers for Samsung are open source?

I wish that HTC had the same policy. If so, we could have had ICS working stable a long time ago!

This makes me envy the Nexus 7... used one in a store and its fantastic. Such good hardware. Strange its using the phone mode though, and not the tablet UI.
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
Havent tried paranoidandroid but is it available for your tab? You could try it theres like a feature for an app based density ..

Nexus 7uses the phone ui? It got me thinking yesterday after watching a video of jelly bean port on hp touchpad, which had a ui similar to HC , ICS ... but then again i rememberred all the press shot screen shot of nexus 7 had a different ui the one you say , phone ui ... wonder if all the apps use phone ui rather than tab ui? Did you try running apps on that?

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Nowadays I don't like using apps unless they follow the ICS design. I'll use them if I have to but I prefer they follow the look of ICS. I feel like ICS has been here long enough now and I hate seeing pieces of gingerbread everywhere on an OS which looks a million times better.The one thing I really hate is when developers just port over their IOS apps. I refuse to use those apps.

I feel like I've gone off topic in the off topic thread. :o
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The problem is achieving the ICS look and maintaining back-portability with gingerbread and below. Sometimes it's not really laziness, it's downright impossible. You should see the kind of maneuvering I do to keep UCS running from froyo to jelly bean, and just the core functionality, let alone the aesthetics of the thing...

It's nice that android evolves, but so much changes between versions that it's a pain for developers. In that regard, iOS is better, as the core UI APIs don't change that much, they got it right pretty much from the beginning...

Cheers

I understand. But I think a perfect example is Tapatalk. I don't understand why it's trying to fit in with ICS but still has a gingerbread look to it underneath. This revamp was released way after ICS. Shame there's no equivalent to Tapatalk.

EDIT: I've understood what you said now! Explains a lot
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I'm not sure if i can agree with you, i sure understand your point and it's basically true, but for my opinion they (apple) just try to follow the kiss principle as good as they can.

Which is sure good in some aspects, but not every.

Quick example, in our company we made our first hybrid app for one of our customers (phonegap in combination with sencha touch). This app also included a notification service, which i had to implement myself, because it couldn't be made with the phonegap api (or basically it could, but only for a short period, because the app gets killed after some time and the javascript code isn't accessible anymore).

At ios it has been possible with the basic api, because there isn't something like a service, you put a flag to your app that marks it as navi, music or one additional i don't remember atm, apptype and it doesn't get killed, pretty straight forward.

And that's the thing, first nothing like a service, all is kept or nothing and pretty simple, but less control.

For my opinion ios is sure nice in it's simplicity and it's easier to "port" stuff to the next platform version, but at the same time it doesn't evolve.

Android on the other hand is much more complex, but gives also more possibilities, the problem with getting it to work for a range of os versions is for sure something that needs to be thought about, but also think about that your working on pretty special apps with ucs and ftl, many will sure face some glitches here and there, but no groundbreaking issues, also it maybe would have been easier if you would have started with api lvl 10 as min sdk.

Also don't forget that your test area in here is the king class, with the bunch of alpha, beta,... roms that are used ;)

That's my opinion, i hope you don't get it wrong :)

@dan-fish try the black blue theme of tapatalk, it's build in so nothing to pay for it and it fits pretty well in the ics look for my opinion.

Not normally being one to fall for hype, but, if the specs are true...HTC Endeavour C2 to replace One X this year? and they chuck in an SD card slot and an unlocked bootloader then I'd certainly be tempted....
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Looks like a small upgrade, definitely not enough for a HOX user though. I would just wait till MWC 13.

Personally, I have decided I will be sticking to my DS a little while longer. My contract expired a few days ago, and I am now looking for another SIM only deal.

I just feel that the DS can do almost anything the new flagships can do, albeit a little slower. I'm not going to be splashing out my cash on a new phone, and it will be soon outdated in a couple of months when MWC comes.

Plus, the main point making me keep the DS is the fact that JB is a minor update from ICS, and the ROMs for DS has progressed much faster than when we first got ICS. So even if we have old hardware, we can at least enjoy the latest software for quite a while, as I don't see Google updating Android anymore till Q2/3 2013.

If Apple do manage to torpedo Samsung the way they are trying to, then what next? They will carry on their attack on Android-based phones.

Maybe HTC?
