Woot, woot!

Just passed my black belt!

A terrible 5 hour grading, I'm so exhausted and tired, but totally worth it! My body aches so much_!

Now, I'm gonna chill out a bit and relax, looking forward to Fallout update later!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Go for miui. I switched to it recently and it was a nice, refreshing change from AOKP. Plus it's a very well polished ROM

Well done Oly :D

Exams and that - been a hard few months I guess.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks a lot guys :D

@enigmaamit, don't worry, I got your PM, I'll reply a little later ;)

@Simon, haha my problems are nothing! I read a couple of your posts over at the Off-Topic forum. I know it won't mean much from me, I'm just a kid, but I'm very sorry for the news. I hope you get through it man. Stay strong, and feel the same way about her no matter what :)

Good luck mate :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Thanks Oly. I didn't know if anyone from here would have seen or not. I'm watching her at work right now - tonight is the last time I get to see her before she returns home for treatment, so it may be the last time I get to see her at all.

It means a lot as well - you can never be too young to show sympathy and understanding.

I think the next few months are likely to be very hard - that's part of the reason I've not been active on here, not really been in the right frame of mind to flash ROMs, although I have been watching the development with interest.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
So, I decided to go with CM9. The bootanimation is beautiful, best i have seen in a while. Sadly, the ROM was laggy as hell :( Animations, scrolling between screens, the notification panel, everything was slow. So, I flashed MIUI.us V4. I absolutely love it, everyone should give that a go. This is an official MIUI.us theme(s), all my icons are now themed :D http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454388

I know this certainly isn't new news but I just noticed something interesting.

Since my first HTC devices I noticed a lag between the first ring from the dialer (source) phone to the receiver. Not a very big lag, close to one ring difference.

I just noticed that this is a problem with the Sense rom's, CM doesn't have this lag.

What's the reason for this lag and can it be fixed on sense rom's?

[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Ok, played with gs3 today. Screen is fine, actually I sort of dig the color tone and clarity, it was just a bit dim though (even on full brightness). 720p does the job, as pen tile matrix is almost invisible, looks MUCH better than One S. Minimalistic look of white one is quite nice (blue looks cheap and too shiny imho), material used is ok, but the size... OmG. That's the biggest problem. It's ok to use it at home on Your sofa, but for now I cannot imagine myself using it at work or on the street. :(
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
That was my biggest worry too but you soon get comfortable with it,the shape of the device helps, the ds seems so small now :p
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hey pughie... I couldn't help but notice that the screen is not very bright even though the colors are superb. It looked dimmer than as S2. What do you think?

Oh and yeah - Does smart stay really work? I just couldn't get the damn think to stay awake even though the eye icon was flashing - maybe I have ugly eyes the camera chooses to ignore?:confused:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
LOL, it was probably because the lights were too bright, and it couldn't spot your eyes. When i looked at the black Desire S a year ago, it seemed grey under the extremely bright lighting of the shop. The SLCD2 screen on the One X is brighter than the One on SGSIII, but Amoled probably has better/deeper colours.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
No no... I saw both the S2 and the S3 and (my) DS under the same lights at the Samsung SmartCafe... that's not a confounding factor. :p
[HTC Desire S] akshatir:
Sgs3 is very delicate... And its a pain to us with single thumb.... Eye recognition is a problem... Had problem with it at lot of times... Screen of s2 seems almost similar tome...
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Smart stay is a bit hit and miss, screen is superb not really noticed any drop off in brightness, in direct sunlight I would say that it is slightly better than the ds , still not great :mad:. As usual it will take a while to get worked up over a few minor issues as im still in that honeymoon period I get with my new toys :thumbup:
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Smart stay is for my opinion a gimmick like face unlock, the light conditions need to fit and you need to hold the device correctly that you're fave is scanned correctly.

I personally find it way better to read at direct sun, could see almost nothing at the ds, with the gs3 it's still pretty good usable for me.

I guess till the honeymoon ends there are already roms where it is fixed^^ team hacksung is i.e. working to release cyanogen and got it already booting :)

Ooh and did you try omega meanwhile, it is pretty solid, not that big difference to stock, but ok and the small preview of 4.0 looked promising :)

Still not rooted it so can't comment on omega rom, really looking forward to cm9, once it's stable that will be the start of rooting and flashing for me :D
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
We know that most OEM's don't provide warranty in case we have unlocked the bootloader or rooted the phone.

How does it work out for the nexus devices? Does Google/OEM's still provide warranty for unlocked and rooted phones?

Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I don't think so. As far as I know, Google knows that most Nexus users flash ROMs, but they do so at their own risk. Still, they provide factory reset images, flashable via fastboot so it is very easy to revert to stock, and get back warranty. Not 100% sure on this though.

Sent from a device waiting for the Kernel 3 source code. WAKE UP HTC !!!!!
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Sir you are spot on with this. nexus users can flash factory images then return for warranty.

on another note. keep picking up the SGS 3 and can't help noticing how the screen in the browser and other functions has that blue hue to it
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I seriously appreciate Google's cleverness on this. If they didn't remove warranty after unlock, a lot of people (read: Super-Noobs) would flash a ROM to "make their phone cool" and then screw it completely. Google would have to replace those bricks with new devices. Anyone who knows what the hell he's doing can easily flash these images, and get back warranty for whatever reason. Nice job Google :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Question:

Given the choice, would you trade your Desire S for a brand new One V? Straight out swap, no gimmicks.

And your reason why?

Desire S • Fallout 1.4.0 • xda premium
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nope, not in a million years. First, the 512 MB RAM is seriously ****ty. My friend has to kill all apps from time to time to avoid serious lags. Secondly, there is ZERO development on that device. Our ports are better than their ROMs :p Last, it just feels weird in my hand. It feels less solid than the desire s, it has the same size, but it's very light so it just feels fragile, and hollow. Also, the chin is too big.

It does have a better camera, (maybe) but i never used the one on my Desire S so i don't really care. The screen is brighter, better colours, but i wouldn't sacrifice the above for just a little better screen.
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
No, the only advantages of the One V are

-ICS out of the box(sense 4A) that's allready taken care of.

-Bluetooth 4.0

-maybe a better screen

Disadvantages

-uglyer from my perspective

-less ram

-no front camera(not a very big issue)

Most of the specs are almost the same, so it's just a mather of design and like i said earlier, the One V is ugly compaired to the Desire S
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I am trying to resist from getting gs3 in here Oly and You ask about One V? ;)

No, I wouldn't swap for One V. No front cam, less ram, no Endy... ;)

It also looks worse (imho) from d.s.

I want an upgrade, not side grade (or even downgrade...)
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
You are better off getting the one x. better screen and less gimmicks imo

@Bronx, I'm not saying it's something you buy, but if you were given an opportunity to swap your phone for free! :)

I know it's not an upgrade,that's why I asked ;)

If I said something like the One X, we'd have a straight answer ;)

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Question 2:

Would you swap your DS for a brand new Sensation XL given the choice?

Please give your reasons too :)

Desire S • Fallout 1.4.0 • xda premium
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
No. Poor development section. Although I would like a bigger screen than the DS.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
No, we have a better dev community and more ram...

Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Same thoughts here. The dev forum is tiny :(

But I could really do with a larger screen. However, I think 4.7" is a bit too much.

Has anyone else who used a One X or SGS3 comment on the size compared to the Sensation XL?

I have only used the latter, so I can visualize what the size would be like for the other 2...

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oops :(

Anyway, have you guys heard the news about HTC and PlayStation?

One X, S, V are supported, this means future One V ROMs will have access to download PS games!

Win win situation for us! I'm guessing this feature will debut on Sense 4.5 as HTC app.

i have a IMO a pretty sillt question to you guys. can a magnet/s damage our phone?cause im thinking of making my own handphone stand with my old magnetic toy.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
In my opinion it's a pretty good question. could be very useful to know the definite answer. I don't think it does harm your phone, but I'm not sure of that. A hard drive can be damaged really hard by a magnet. But a flash memory cannot. On the other hand, there might be more parts in the phone that could be damaged, even if it's not the memory.

My phone often lays on my subwoofer, which has a big magnet in it too. But it doesn't get really close to the magnet since the subwoofer is big.
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
No way phone has less ram and you cannot beat the awesome devs and people in this DS section !!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I would... if i got it for a free swap! C'mon man, the screen is killing me now. :(
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nope, the Sensation XL has the same RAM as us. In fact its git a slight lead, it's clocked at 1.5Ghz ..

Oly. one x seemed a bit smaller and not as wide. it's the only phone I would consider changing my DS for in the future. as I think the one x will eventually be the natural progression for a lot if us guys in this section.

I think a lot of it depends on the size and strength of the magnet. just like a strong enough on a watch will kill the mechanism. I'm sure it could affect the internals of a phone
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
the other thing about the XL is with a screen that big, I would like a larger resolution.

Yes, but with no sd card on One X and One S, is this going to be an online content or what? I mean online content kills the games collectors as there are no hard copy. And i hate online content.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
No, Sensation XL is not much of an upgrade, it's even worse than the One V :p It's too huge for my hands, no development, nothing. The only devices from last year I would swap for are the Sensation XE, and Evo 3D (Sensation would be better). They are dual core, better screens, qHD resolution, and excellent development (full Sense 4 ROMs, CM9, AOKP and what not). Oh, by the way, the Evo 3D and Sensation XE are much cheaper than the Sensation XL here. My ideal phone right now is the One S, or maybe the Galaxy Nexus but as i said numerous times before, I'm getting nothing for a pretty long time :p
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I'm not too sure :p

It's my birthday tomorrow, and I may be getting an early 'upgrade' :D

Hmmm...

Been playing with the galaxy s2 for days and I seriously hate using the DS now. I can only imagine the problem iPhone users have after using the SGS2. It's a shame that the development section is a mess. It took me days to find a ROM worth staying on.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
@Oly, If you can, try pushing for a Sensation XE. Or even better, a One S. I don't know what other options you have available, but if I was asked to upgrade, I would settle for only one of the following phones in decreasing order of preference (price not being an issue)

1. Galaxy S3 (Too big maybe & No Sense)

2. One X (Too big maybe & battery sucks + glitches galore - but for free? Hell yeah!)

3. One S (Perfect size, blazing performance - Screen is only average, Poor internal memory & has Chipping issues - may or may not be an issue with the new batches)

4. Galaxy S2 - the most incremental and evolutionary jump in mobile technology in the last decade - It has EVERYTHING. Still pretty future proof, best equipped among the 2011 phones. (But no "Sense" here again)

5. Sensation XE (overall decent phone -but outdated now)

Oh, and yeah - Happy birthday in advance :D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That's an issue with almost all Samsung devices, except maybe the Galaxy Nexus.

@enigmaamit - My list is similar to yours (decreasing order of preference, price is no issue) -

1) One X

2) One S

3) Galaxy Nexus

4) Sensation XE

If we take price into account, then One S is the best choice IMO

Okay guys, today, I installed Fallout again, did a clean install to test my EQS mod. Had to go on a 3 hour tuition so I restored my MIUI backup after I came back. I realised my battery life was MUCH better during that time, as I had no apps on my phone.

Now, my question is, is there any way to check which app is responsible for draining battery?? Any solution would be fine, except restoring apps one by one and checking each app separately. I suspect HaxSync and Facebook, but I can't be sure.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Apps mainly consume battery while going online for undates. HaxSync can be configured. I've set it to update pics once a week while on wifi and charging only. Facebook I don't use. It's horrible on android, and I've turned both notifications and sync off as I use Friendcaster pro (Manual refresh)

[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Apps cause battery drain by not allowing the phone to go into deep sleep and holding on to wakelocks and alarm manager.

Install better battery stats from market or the XDA version on this forum..

Set a custom reference point, and check the wakelocks, kernel wakelocks and alarms.

It's easy, you can easily drill it down....

Guys,

I know I'll get hammered for this, but still.... Does Anyone else also prefer GB instead of ICS?

I find ICS just a mere UI change...

:confused:

Edit : Except the Browser and some other small stuff...
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I don't really know. I have had a quick look at ICS, but need my phone to be rock-solid stable (which is why I use Reaper).

I guess that once we have v3 kernel and the devs can really get their teeth into it properly we may actually start to really see the benefits of it.
[HTC Desire S] goatimus:
I've tried alot of the ics roms and I know what you mean it does seem to be just a UI change. But I think all the good stuff is under the bonnet. Better memory management and stuff and also the proper fully working rom will be smoother. Its hard to tell until we get official release or kernal 3. But then the whole point, for me at least, is to stay on the cutting edge of technology ( at least in software can't afford the hardware).
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Yeah, that's the same reason i'll update to ICS once it is fully working, as well.

But, features like pinch and zoom in the calendar, Swipe for Prev & Next Mails in Gmail.. Etc make me wonder!

Also, i think I've read somewhere. that multi tasking is handled better in ICS.. True?
