[HTC One S] DrJ76:
Hello everyone. I have recently purchased an HTC One S, and I have found this issues about it, let´s see of they have some solution:

-Very few free Ram. After starting it, I only have 200 MB free Ram. Is it normal?, Can it be increased?, Am I going to have problems running some ram demanding games?, For the moment, I have run shadow gun and it works flawlessly. It is strange mostly when you see that a Desire has the same amount of free ram, having only a total of 512 MB, One S has 1 GB, where did it go?, other phones with 1 GB of Ram have 400 MB or more free ram, like xperia S, Galaxy S and so on... Is it a problem of ICS, Sense, or both?....

-The launcher keeps reloading for some seconds after running some big apps, like games, internet heavy pages and things like that. It seems that the system runs out of memory, maybe because of the first issue, and unloads the sense launcher. Can it be avoid someway, without having to root or to install custom roms?

-Calendar: let´s see if I can explain this one. We have a setting that marks the amount of minutes that we want the phone to notify us of an event in the calendar. Let´s say we have 15 minutes. Then If I create an event at 10:00 for instance, the phone will notify me at 9:45, ok?, the problem is about the postpone option. When I choose to postpone, it won´t notify me again. The problem is that the phone won´t notify you again when the real time of the event comes. The phone has a time to notify you again after having postponed of 15 minutes, so if you have the delay of the event set to 15 minutes, it would notify you 15 minutes later if you postpone it, but then the real time will be over, so it doesn´t notify you. The only way that it can notify you after postponing is to set the delay at 30 minutes or more, then if you pospone it, after 15 minutes it will advise you again.

This was different in other phones, and better from my point of view. In Diamond it was set to 5 minutes between postpones.. HD2 was 1 minute, and desire is 10 minutes. So, do you know an easy way to change this so I can be notified 5 minutes later after posponing an event?.

-Memory Android control behavior, I mean, multitasking is almost non-existent. You can go home from some apps, but sometimes the SO closes them without telling you anything, so when you go back to them, you don´t go to the point where you left it. For example, I open the manual of HTC One S in PDF, I start reading it, pass some pages, then go home and do some other tasks, when I come back to the manual, I am not taken to the last page I was in. The same with some games and other apps. Gladdly it does not seem to be happening with word or other apps that have an open and edited file, fortunatly....

Well, these are the main problems I see about the phone. The other things are great, apart from the micro arc oxidation problem that I see unacceptable, but this is another subject different from software ones..... It is a pity it has these issues, because the phone is the best one in the market right now, in my opinion, the camera is fast and great, the screen is britght and sharp....

Best regards.
[HTC One S] DrJ76:
Any ideas or help about any of these problems?.

Best regards.
[HTC One S] decalex:
O man, this post is really long. Lol. Ill bookmark it and read tomorrow - try to offer some help :)
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
maybe all that has to do with the small amount of memory available for the phone to use.

i too had only about 170Mb available ram with no apps running except a battery and the usual HTC sense. I was getting similar symptoms as you do, and i suspect that the phone may be closing your apps to allow htc sense to keep on running smoothly. I cannot find an answer to that though. i sold mine for various reasons
[HTC One S] HighRoIIer:
So referring to problems 1,2 and 4... that is normal and all due to the internal management of free ram. I read somewhere in the settings that 90mbyte is the ram the system should keep free. so basically you have 80 mb of free ram (starting from 170MB total free space which is normal) before the systems start to close apps in the background. Using ram hungry apps will fill this up fast and therefore close other apps or even close sense. I to think that the HOS is a little bit harsh on closing apps...

If you install one of the ICS Ports (Miui, CM9, AOKP) you have around 400 mb free ram. So basically it is Sense which is eating your space. And to answer your last question without rooting and using a custom rom there is nothing you can change about those things.
[HTC One S] NienorGT:
One X users have the same issues with multitasking, and HTC official answer is that they tweaked ICS memory management for a "good sense experience"...

So, it seems that despite being toned down visually and being incredibly improved, Sense 4.0 is still having the ethernal same issue of ressourse hog... =\
[HTC One S] DrJ76:
So as you all say, it is quite sure that the problem is with sense. They say that they do this in order to have a "good sense experience", but I don´t see a "good sense experience" to have th sense continously reloading, grrrrr.......

Anyway.... let´s hope they solve this with an update or something, maybe we should all write htc to make presure so they solve this, don´t you think?.

What can you tell about point 3?, did you experience it too?.

Best regards.
[HTC One S] sharkoparko:
no multitasking on t-mo

See thread "where is multitasking". The problem is with sense. Non T-mo devices received update that fixed this. T-mobile device still have this problem and since it is up to the carrier, not HTC, we might get update in months :mad:

This issue with killing application in the background just minutes you were out of of it is insane. None of the tech review website caught this in their 5 pages reviews a month ago. People just now are finding these issues.

I am patiently waiting for CM9 Beta or official release to install it. I have used sense for a month now and it is a struggle, there are so many issues, including the one with patents for "association" where you open a link for a video and loads in a browser instead of the app, and is not just with videos.

Honestly if I knew there so many "little" issues I would hold my problem free Google Nexus One sacrificing only 3G vs 4G and lower processor speed.

Sense is not as productive as Stock Android.
[HTC One S] DrJ76:
So you mean that there is already an update for One series?, I don´t see any update download in the web page of HTC. Mine is orange, hope they will release it soon. This thing about apps closing and sense reloading is starting to anoy me. As you say, no review talked about this when they released them.

Another issue that anoys me a lot is that when you have a long queue of songs in the music player, it doesn´t remember the song you where playing after been several hours without using it. This didn´t happen to me in the whole lot of mobiles I had, diamond, hd2, and even old nokias......

This phone is asking for an update urgently, I am afraid..... I don´t say that I wouldn´t have bought it if I knew all this, but I would have thought it better....

Best regards.
[HTC One S] sharkoparko:
Yes, people with non carrier branded phones reported updates on engadget.com. T-mobile, Orange, etc will get it

months

down the road. Me, not happy with this. The development community is asking for kernel code to fix a custom rom, like CM9 and fix these issues for good. I suggest, add HTC USA, HTC UK, HTC world on facebook and post a comment about kernel release code, update, etc. in a kindly manner. They do respond, at least to me. Email them thru HTCdev.com also.
[HTC One S] DrJ76:
Do you know the improvements that the update will have?, you say that multitasking would be fixed, what about the sense reloading problem?.

Do you know if the update will delete anything or it is safe to install it?.

Besst regards.
[HTC One S] sharkoparko:
I have no idea how each wireless carrier will customize their version of the update. To my knowledge OTA updates for the last 2 1/2 years did not delete anything.

I am not developer or anyhting. I never installed a ROM etc, but I can't stand Sense and these carrier delays with OTA updates. I am coming from Google Nexus One -(HTC),purchased straight from google 2+ years ago, where updates were distributed

months before

the carriers got theirs if any. CM9 for ICS will get me closer to this pure android experience.
[HTC One S] DrJ76:
Hello again. I have just installed the update from orange, 1.78.75.5, and this is my first impresion:

-2 new apps, daily motion, that basically has videos and trailers, and TV, which I am not able to use because is only for orange clients, and I am a movistar user, using my sim car in an free orange one S.

-Some new animated backgorunds, very ugly in my humble opinion.

-More free RAM, not many, but some more, after restarting I have 231 MB, but after moving through the different desktops and loading the widgets for SMS, contacts, favorites, galery and so on... I have 187 Mb of RAM, when before I had about 160 MB of RAM.

-The reloading of sense is still happening after playing with shadow gun, and I am not taken to the last position where I left it if I come back to it. Anyway, I assume that this game is too big, almost 160 MB of RAM, so I can live with it, I guess the reloads will be less frequent now. I have tried blood and glory, another big game, and press home button didn´t reload the sense, so I guess it is OK for me.

-I am not sure about this, but I have the impression that 3G is better now, I can browse the web near my home, when before the update I couldn´t.

Best regards and thanks for your support.

As you all know Samsung promised ICS for Samsung Galaxy R, but now thay give a different explanation, like this " Samsung Mobile España...Galaxy R no recibirá ICS ya que no se puede asegurar el perfecto funcionamiento en estos dispositivos. Saludos." in translation " R Galaxy not receive ICS because there is no guarantee the perfect operation in these devices. Greetings. "

My suggestion is to unite together and through social networks show our unhappiness !

I suggest the following:

1. Every day act on different fb page.

2. Put them the same questions until we get concrete answers to us.

...................................................................................................

Go to this fb page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Samsung-Galaxy-R-We-want-ICS/354963667898597?skip_nax_wizard=true and put yours knowledge

Questions that could be asked:

- Why is Samsung not updating Galaxy R to ICS 4.0 as they had promised earlier ? Why are you fooling your consumers ?(Post links to the above mentioned articles as proof but also take screenshots before as they can simply take down that page)

- Why is Samsung back tracking on the updates even though Galaxy R is highly capable of running ICS ? Why are you fooling your customers ?

- If Samsung is updating then what's the schedule and when will Galaxy R get ICS ?

- If Samsung is not updating then give back our money as they are not updating as promised earlier which was basis on which we bought Galaxy R. Ask others users not to buy Samsung mobiles because they cheat & fool users.

Add some idea if you have :)

My post to Samsung Srbija ( Samsung from my country )

I ask : All this is nice, Samsung presents a new model Galaxy S3, etc., but what about the promised ICS update for other models? Samsung has promised ICS for the Galaxy R out, now our comments on what ever Samsung page are deleted and users are baned. Question for you, do you know when you might be expected update specifically for the Galaxy R? thank you

p.s if you are not able to give me an answer, who should I contact?

Answer: Dear Zeljko, we just launched an update to ICS for S2, we are working on and to come to the other Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy R as soon as possible.

.......................................................................................

I do not believe in this, because thay do not give concrete answers.

can we get refund through legal ?

because, lot of people buy this phone because of their promises through media.

(Apple refunded for iPad 3 4g problems in australia.)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
as csc guys talked with me, he told me that samsung havent declared that they will launch ICS for sgr in india, its not mentioned on indian sammy website also, so i think indian guys cant claim to refund money but in other countries where sammy have declared that they will provide ICS maybe can claim.

You probably already solved it but if by chance you didn't, just create a file named "recovery" on the /tmp/ (you can do it giving root access to a file manager, like ES File Manager for example. You can even create the file on it). Then just reboot your phone and do whatever you need.

For me worked just fine and I tried almost everything, from wiping data to flash a new SBF.

I hope I can help :)
[HTC One X] drvsbsm:
If I buy this phone from online in the states will HTC cover warranty? Will I be covered for the 2 years if I get the international version if I buy online here is the U.S.?

Also if not do they have any Square-trade insurance option anywhere. If I remember correctly when I bought my GNote from Amazon I thought they gave me a Square-trade option at checkout, I was tempted to buy this but Amazon didn't have the option this time? At least I didn't see it anywhere. After all the issues I don't want to be stuck with $600 doorstop. I just looked at the pool and only %60 were good units out of the box. I love the design so I wanna make the jump but need some reinforcement.

Anyone here from the U.S. how are you covering your investment with this phone?

Hi all, just got the One X in white and it's awesome. I'm now looking for earphones replacement, mainly because the bundled ones although sound good to me don't fit me well and I'd like some noise isolation. I was looking at Android specific earbuds such as A-Jay's One+ / Klipsch S4A / Etymotic HF2 but they only come in black color. Can someone recommend equivalent products in white? Thanks!
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
Why don't you try klipsch s4i or Bose Mie2i, both were available in white which I am using with my white one x. S4i and S4A work's the same with some apk installed on your phone.

Hi, I did not realize that.. is this the case for all/most iphone earphones these days? Pardon my ignorance I've upgraded from the "ancient" N1 :-)

I don't need RW/FF or volume control btw I use the button only, so does that mean I don't need Android dedicated earphones?

Lastly, which APK are you referring to?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, while using these apks (Jays headset or klipsch) you can use any iPhone headset with One x. But only the center button will work.

You can remap the center button with any task you want with those apps.
