Oh now I understood. Sorry about all the confusion
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
No worries, mate!

I know you guys are trying to help me out...

It's not that I keep my phone switched off quite often, But, I was wondering that if it stays in some kind of deep sleep recovery, am I safe to pull the battery when I think it is powered off!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I have officially fallen in love with the Galaxy Nexus. Wow, this thing is a dream to use. The screen is seriously brilliant.

This is definetly ahead if the One S. I want one!!
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
So you think it's better than the sgs3 then
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
I loved the nexus also, it is a great unit, if I never bought this beast I would have likely gone that route, HTC One X was my 3rd choice (always thought I would get a one x to be honest, but wanted a change plus HTC couldn't arrange a pi$$ up in a brewery at the moment with regard to unlocking, the release of kernel source etc...:mad: )

One more thing, Munich is one heck of a place, can't wait to go back in October

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Well, i dunno really! The SGS3 obviously has the better specs, but its price is way too high for my budget.

The Galxy Nexus has a far better UI, ICS is so clean and fast on it. The design of the Gnex is beautiful too! Argh... I' m waiting for a good deal to come along, but i doubt that will happen, since the GNex is still to good. I asked a CPW employee.. And he told me they were going for £200 a while back, but i think he was confused with the Nexus S.

Lol, seems you got the best of it though, the SGS3 is a fantastic device.

Wow, you're at Munich fir quite a while aren't you? :p

At least its a nice break from here!

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah yes aha, typical British weather, and yesterday was indeed terrible!
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
What about three then? They have very good deals. Free phones (1x and gs3) and thirty something a month with all You can eat data and thousands of free minutes.
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
That should be the old 7 incheer
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Yeah, I keep looking at the GNex and cannot understand why it is so damn expensive. If I look at going with Three on the unlimited data I can get a HOX for £31 or a SGS3 for £34, but the GNex is still £41 - that's £200+ extra over two years. I would, genuinely, rather go for the GNex if I could, but not at those prices :(
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Anyone considering "older" devices?

So, I was browsing for prices, and stumbled on very good deals for the Sensation XE. I remembered the specs, so went down to the Sensation forums to check my suspicions, and I was right: direct ports from the One S are all over the place, given the similarities.

That thing is selling around 100€ below the One S (full price, not provider-locked), plus it ships with those nice Dr. Dre headphones.

Did anyone even considered this? I mean, 4.3 inches, the same resolution as the one S, but with a SLCD screen, running Sense 4 full, removable battery and sdcard, I think you can get S-OFF easilly without HtcDev...

Apart from the "last year" syndrome, it's sounding very much like what I wanted...

How can a post be wrong in OT thread :D
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Regarding the ICS update, I sometimes feel that HTC is purposely delaying it,so that we get fed up and pick up one of the shiny new One Series phones...

However, i don't know if they understand the fact or not, that people might be shifting loyalties altogether, especial with Samsung GS3 and their quick release of kernel source code & unlocked bootloader.

ICS won't excite me anymore especially when the next version (Jelly bean) will be showcased soon !

Just sharing my thoughts, cuz I'm now seriously bored of waiting for our ICS update :(
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I did consider a Sensation a while back. True, the specs are still powerful, and considering HTC's latest stunt with the one S, there really isn't much of a difference!

However, to be honest, and as people who have upgraded from a DS to the Sensation, there really isn't much difference. The main key benefit is the larger screen and faster chip. The S3 chip isn't exactly very powerful aswell, its Qualcomms first gen dual core chip. Also it is using only 768mb RAM. In todays world, that seems too little, especially each android version is becoming more and more demanding, especially with HTC Sense skin on top!

I doubt it will get Jellybean officially aswell, but as most rumours are pointing its going to be 4.1, so there won't be much changes? Will it still be the same kernel? Will that mean that ROM ports from devices with Jellybean should be flawless?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, beyond a joke now :(

They said June - July, it's already the end of June and the update has only hit out in one country, and the kernel source still isn't even out yet!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Just wondering, will anyone use the official ROM when it comes out over Sense 4.0?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Define 'Anyone'. Anyone here on XDA - probably very, very few. In the wider world - tens of thousands of them.

By the time ICS comes out I'll almost certainly be on a new phone anyway - dropped my DS the other day and ripped off the bottom-right corner of the screen. Still fully functional for now but sure looks fugly :crying:
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
It would be good to have it fully set up and lying as a nandroid somewhere on the SD card. :)

Especially, something like Endymion, etc.
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Oh Gawd... Endymion based on stock ics + 3.6 would be awesome.

Tbh, I actually may be the one to use stock this time. Gimme root and I'm there.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, that would be amazing! Just like Hyperion, it worked 100% out of the box. Endy needed a few versions before it became flawless. I think Fallout will take its place once it is all patched up :)

When is HTC going to release the dam kernel source?!
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Endy most of the times... Tried CM7, CM9, Reaper quite a lot.. But, I just love sense :)

Loved the One V ports , waiting for them to be fully functional!

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Endymion/Reaper definitely!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I use Reaper, and have done for a while now. I have tried most of the other ROMs - liked Endy, but don't really like Sense - but always came back to Reaper. The only other ROM which came close for me was MIUI Scotland, with FTL as a launcher on top, but it was never stable enough for me to use as a daily.
[HTC Desire S] goatimus:
I like to think of sense like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Personally I hate it. I didn't mind sense that came with the phone but as soon as I used aosp roms that was it no going back.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Always more of a Bovril man myself....(love Sense too)
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
Sense ruins HTC UI, that's my state. If only HTC would have atleast TouchWiz style UI, I would definetly move back to stock rom. But so far I am using my device on MIUI in 2nd generation.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, never noticed there was TalkMobile network under XDA :confused: i'm actually under TalkMobile, not Vodafone, I couldn't find TalkMobile last time, so I put Vodafone as they share the same network ...
[HTC Desire S] monkey21stc:

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Yeah mate, I was exactly the same until about 3 days ago when I saw somebody else with the TalkMobile logo. It certainly wasn't there when I signed up, but I felt it better to change as well. There must be quite a few of us around; I took advantage of their 12 month only unlimited data contract, so I'm now looking at switching - may keep the phone, may not, undecided a the moment.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, enigmaamit, you've broken your long post record! :D

On a serious note.. Thanks for the review, really helpful for DS users looking to upgrade. :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Can't do justice reviewing an entire device in just one paragraph, hence the lengthy post.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Btw, while reading it didn't seem like it's that long. Pretty interesting. Good written!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Just gave it a read, very well written.. You should publish it ;)

That sensitivity thing... Some guy on YouTube said he wanted to play fruit ninja the real way, so he used a knife to play the game on the GS3!! A bit extreme, but it actually worked!

But yeah.. That review was very helpful indeed, if I could afford it, I'd pick this device up hands down!

How's the rooting business? I just tried to put a new ROM on my Galaxy Tab yesterday and nearly shat my pants. NANDroid restores only work, providing you have the right recovery for it :( I thought I bricked it, as I lost my.recovery completel, and you can't remove the battery!

a bit of a shame. Also, some ROM can't be flashed as easy as it can be on the DS. You need to use ODIN etc.

Is this the same case for the GS3?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Thx to chainfire you only need to flash one tar with odin and your done with rooting(cwm is also included).

Almost every rom can be flashed with cwm and even if it only works with odin, there is mobile odin, with it you can even flash those directly from your device (but you need to be rooted first for sure), with it you also can flash stock firmware and let it inject root and mobile odin directly I.e.

Odin does not depend on recovery, you could even have no recovery installed (why ever you wouldn't have one) and you could still flash firmware with odin (or mobile odin).

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
But Samsung doesn't have the recovery partition separate, so recovery is always part off the boot partition. Am I correct?

How do nandroid backups before the first flash work?

When you first root the phone using chainfire root, it automatically installs a custom recovery. You then proceed with the backup as usual.

Ps: I'm smiling while typing , don't take me too serious ;)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I wouldn't dream of taking you serious. I was born in Hanover so either way I'm a winner!!

We should beat the Italians, but the next game will be a bit tougher - I tipped Germany before the tournament and actually have a bet on them as I feel that squad has got everything.

Gutted... :mad:

But to be honest, Italians played a bit better... :(

Oh well... Spain vs Germany in final.
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Guys we did well to reach the quarters, nice to see england playing as a team for a change as well.

My money is on Portugal winning, Spain are lacking a forward and Portugal should meet germany in the final.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
If we could hold out quite well against the Italians, I think Germany should handle them easily.

To be fair, even if we got through, the Germans would have annihilated us!

My bet is on Germany vs Spain finals!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
My bet was on Germany to win the tournament - and I placed that weeks ago. Got 7/2 on that so I'm happy at this stage.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Totally agree with the last few.comments

We were lucky to make it as far as penalties after a poor second half, hurts but happy with the performance

Also after the review and my previous thoughts the Samsung sg3 is looking more likely ..

Oh wow !!! A new HTC Device, rumored to be called One XXL (I highly doubt that will be the case) is coming with a Quallcomm APQ8064 (Quad-Core, 1.6 Ghz) and Adreno 320 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and the same beautiful 720p SLCD 2 screen on the One X. The blog(s) say that the chipset is LTE friendly, so it may be possible (but again, highly unlikely) that the device is US only.

Ok guys Question time...

What owuld you buy for your TV and why

1) Any one of those Google TV's going around

2) Any one of the Android on a Stick, full ICS on a device the size of a stick with wireless keyboard and mouse...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@suku - Nothing, I never really liked the concept of a "smart TV".......

I have a small question too, just saw my profile today, and apparently, I have a referral on XDA. Any way to find out who I referred to, since I don't actually remember telling anyone about this site :p

BTW, Asphalt 7 is coming to Android in a day or two, for just 99 cents :D:D:D IDK about you guys, but I love racing games on my phone. Asphalt 6 was my second favorite game ever, first being NFS: Hot Pursuit. (which reminds me, a new NFS: Most wanted coming to android, but the release is months away http://bit.ly/LWVoGp)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I never got onto the smart TV bandwagon myself... haven't figured them out yet, or the 3D "revolution" that fizzed out.

NFS Most wanted (Black Edition) is my fav PC racing game ever...

Really looking forward to asphalt 7 too.

Any comments on Real Racing 2? Is it worth buying?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Not tried real racing 2. BTW, It's not a port of the PC version of Most Wanted (like GTA III or Max Payne), EA finally realized we want a story in NFS and are coming up with a new most wanted for XBOX, PS3 and PC. The mobile version will be very different from the console version, it'll be awesome anyways :)

Ok after serious consideration, I'm seriously tempted to switch to Sense 3.6 when it come out officially!

I was reading a review on it, and I haven't used the UI for quite a while, so it seems quite appealing. I get the full Sense experience. This 4.0 lite is great and all, it's fast etc, but I miss the loads of Sense features. Namely, the much wider choice of clock widgets, I'd love to change my clocks (Sense 4.0 one is quite boring now), lockscreen weather, stocks etc. HTC Watch and the other good stuff.

Most importantly, the update will fully work, which is what I need the most. I'm going on holiday soon, and I'd like to have a stable phone, with a decent working camera and everything working. I also miss WiFi hotspot, since I use my tab for most activities now on the go, like web, email, etc.

So that's what I've thought of... But what are the drawbacks? :)

I'm not too sure, but will speed be an issue? Sense 4 is fast, but is Sense 3.6 as fast? I read it is more optimised on ICS, so I hope it performs more of less on the same level.

The other drawback for me - Sense 3.6 doesn't work out of the box :(

I HATE the stupid spinning unlock animation and the 3D widgets, so I guess everything won't work right off and perfect. I'm hoping we'd get a tweaks app, but I guess it will take a while to actually code...

So what have you guys thought for the pros and cons for Sense 3.6? i expected that I'd skip 3.6 altogether and settle on 4.0, but I guess not... I was thinking once I'd do to Sense 4, I would never look back, as its a downgrade, but to be honest, I can't see many bad stuff.

EDIT: just remembered I will lose the battery percentage... :( Can this be added via the UOT kitchen? AFAIK, UOT says it only works for Gingerbread Sense ROMs.. anyone got any ideas?

What do you guys think?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I would be willing to go back to Sense 3.6 if it got the tweaks that Sense 3.5 has. LeeDroid tweaks are present for all qHD devices, so maybe someone can port them to our devices. Since DHD and Inc S/2 have the same update, it's highly likely we'll see that come to life soon.

And about battery percentage, that's a pretty easy mod you can male yourself in 5 minutes, no need for UOT ;)

For me, the main thing keeping me from going to Sense 3.6 is the fact that I can't change the font size. I absolutely HATE that the font is so big, and changing the dpi distorts the icons in Rosie. :mad:

Yep, I do :p

That's really impressing. I have seen artists doing stuff like that on the street, but never saw this in a sketchbook.

I think this guy is using charcoal and colored chalks, which are not that easy to handle. (For example a simple thin and clean line is hardly possible with charcoal)

It's nice to see that this guy (same age like me) is having problems with the same stuff like me: perspective, lighting and other stuff that's not recognized by most spectators. Gives me a bit more self-confidence :D

Thanks tectas, for pointing in that direction and for recognizing my liking ;)
