For me, it just "crashed" with a reboot twice. Way better than stock ROM which had to be rebooted in order to get signal strenght working properly ...
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Hello there!

Cheers :)

very slow GPS lock!!! ~500 seconds with AGPS updated on clear sky ahead. cand somewhat speed it up? i know that it used to be a time when i had lock in ~5-6 secounds. dont know if it was on stock 4.0.4 or this one.
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Last week I was without internet connection. I was very surprised because without internet, gps lock on other roms was very slow.

Using pac-man it found satellites in few seconds even without internet.

So what happens to you is strange...

Ok, fixed. swyping to the right on the screen in Settings > Hybrid Properties there are settings

Sorry, I don't know, if it is here already mentioned, but I have this issue.

When I set my camera to 5M and 16:9 and then restart Camera app, Settings are still setted to VGA and 4:3... Changing the settings is really pain in the ass I think.

Thanks for the reply.

Network Speed very slow

Hi at All.

I used the search bottons but nothing..

Since yesterday i'm using PNF for resolve network stuck and i'm going to change grent from gps.conf

Now.. i noted that network (3G or 2G) works very slow.

Using speed test meter, the maximum value is 70Kbps in download. When i do this check, for the first moment the speed seems that will increase, but tend to 70K..

Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks in advanced

WiFi

The WiFi option to - 'avoid poor connections' - doesn't work. I use wifi at home but when I move far enough away from the router for the connection to be absolutely terrible and data requests are timing out it still stays connected, refusing to give up and switch to 3G. Isn't that the whole point of this setting, if requests are timing out surely it should switch to 3G. Unless i'm mistaken about this setting and it relates to WiFi's in coffee shops that connect for free but take you to a holding page and don't actually give you internet access until you pay.
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
The "avoid port connection" option is used to automatically ignore Wi-Fi networks with weak signal. It does not auto switch you back to 3G connection, since that would mean that Wi-Fi was turned off
[HTC Desire S] linqdesires:
Shame on me, I'm a newbie... please I can't find the solution.

I've got a Desire S from stock:

- htcdev.com unlocked

- RUU official HTC update (14.01.401.2 710RD - Android 4.0.4 - Sense 3.6)

- HBOOT 2.00.0002

- S-ON

- Clockwork recovery img flashed (power+volume down and I'm in recovery mode on clockwork, it works)

Can you tell me if I can install the PacMan ROM from Clockwork recovery in my scenario (S-ON, HBoot 2.x and htcdev.com unlocked)?

thank you
[HTC Desire S] zenesis:
MATE you need to use the 4ext recovery. I installed this rom on my Desire S with S-ON, Hboot 2.x and htcdev.com unlocked. and has 4ext touch recovery.
[HTC Desire S] Px80:
First copy the boot.img from pac.zip onto desktop. Then copy pacman.zip onto sd card, gapps aswell. Install pac.zip through clockworkmod.. install gapps and than connect your phone via usb to your pc. Run adb (you will find it by searching the forum) and use the command "adb flash boot boot.img". reboot youre phone and it should work.

But i recommend downgrading hboot (did that few weeks ago, and it feels much faster than stock hboot) and use 4ext or the latest twrp recovery.

PAC-man 22.0.1

just flashed the latest PAC-man

it went pretty smooth so far and i quite like the rom.

but the wlan causes me some headaces :eek:

i have a netgear wg102 accesspoint with a wpa2-psk aes profile that broadcasts no ssid

configured all settings properly - no connection

reboot the phone - i get a connection

disable wlan, enable wlan - get no connection :rolleyes:

some advice for a better wlan?
[HTC Desire S] draken101:
I have a netgear router and use aes and WPA 2 + psk with absolutely no problems using this ROM. Just set your router to broadcast ssid. Not broadcasting ssid does not increase your security level anyways. besides aes and wpa2 is where the real security lies, as long as you have a decent password your WiFi won't get hacked. Just don't use wep and you'll be fine!

Granted i do have a different model router to you but I'm guessing the ssid might be the first potential problem. If that doesn't work try updating your router firmware. I've often sorted out router issues by updating the firmware. Which is really easy to do BTW, much easier than rooting your phone
[HTC Desire S] Tom Mix:
still no luck on wlan reconnect after standby disconnect

[MENTION=730227]Draken[/MENTION]

jepp, i already tested the connection with ssid-broadcast on.

still no luck, the phone connects after a reboot. stays online and after a few minutes when it is not used wlan gets disconnected and

there is no way of bringing it back after it went standby and gets waked-up. i can try wlan on off, it has no effect. :crying:

in the logs of my accesspoint i see the successful connection of the phone.

but my later attempts to connect to the wlan are not logged. so i can say the phone does not contact the accesspoint.

i have a second desire s on my table with latest stock rom it works.

the one i flashed was stock a few hours ago and worked also. infact ssid broadcast was off since months ... :rolleyes:

should i start a new topic or can i go on here?
[HTC Desire S] joshkun:
Try to do a full wipe and reflash the rom. It works every time. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Desire S] linqdesires:
My first impression: great job! Really thank you developers!

And now let me tell you the issues I experienced. I don't really know which is about the mod and which is about the Android "vanilla" OS. I come from a 2 years virgin HTC Sense experience.

I had to disable the "pie" everywhere (lockscreen and standard UI) because it was causing some usability lag.

For example from the home view, clicking on the DS physical menu button I had to tap twice at least to access the settings-menu from the list menu. First tap got lost.

Unlocking the phone wasn't smooth too. Now without the pie it looks really fast.

Nothing against the pie, but maybe needs some improvement.

Disabled all the animation from developer menu.

While unlocking the phone, for a moment, I can see the unlocked home view, I don't think it's regular.

I had some issue with the camera which is lagging sometimes while pointing and changing scene, moving the phone, even without shooting.

I didn't find the way to shoot picture in 16:9, I believe it's not possible, right?

Display brightness it's not enough for sunlight environment. I tried adjusting it at the maximum possible in the display settings but as stated in the thread, stock ROM can reach more bright. I think this is the most relevant issue, considering we're entering the summer.

I discovered for the first time the "Power widget", I don't know if this is a mod feature, and in case which mod...

Anyway I'd like to access the power widget immediately after pulling down the notification menu, instead sometime I have to change the view inside the notification menu, tapping on the icon on the top-right. The optimum should be having "power widget" on both views.

Moreover I don't understand why sometimes I get the power-widget view and sometimes the other one.

Trebuchet crashed a couple of time, I'd like it a little lighter.

Paranoid Android put there a lot of DPI, but I'm very often using the phone on the road and I need a bit of size on the font.

Maybe I'm searching for a more clean ROM, still working very well like this or a way to disable ParanoidAndroid which I don't use.

thank you
[HTC Desire S] Px80:
you don't have to use PA settings. In PA you can change the layout to stock ui.

trebuchet is in deed very unstable.. get lot of trebuchet and system ui FCs, too.

i can't even adjust the brightness of my screen.. don't know why but nothing happens when i change it.

bnd said he will release an update with some fixes. let's hope it will bring us improvements and stability changes :)
[HTC Desire S] adddy2:
hello,

i have the issue with the previous PACman (18) that the weather info on the lockscreen does not update anymore.

is this fixed in the newer versio?

any possibility to fix it in the old (it*s running very graet!).

thanks

[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I see no reason to stick to old build... just make a ROM backup and try newer version right on top of your existing PACman...
[HTC Desire S] linqdesires:
No, it's not. I'm running the latest version and cLock widget is not retrieving weather data both in lockscreen and home views.

[MENTION=4503772]Px80[/MENTION]: I can change the brightness level here and it's even changing automatically based on light condition. The problem is that the maximum brightness value is not enough bright.

[HTC Desire S] draken101:
Try a full wipe and flash like joshkun recommended. Otherwise I would definitely recommend updating the radio to the latest ice cream sandwich radio officially released. As far as I'm aware all the other radios are for android 2.x and there is only one official radio for android 4.x which I think also had several power saving features added from ics up. Noticeably in android 2.x versions there was a low power wifi checkbox which seems to be gone in android 4.x versions likely being fully automated. I suspect these features may be incompatible with some of the older radios, hence a radio update may help you. I'm using the radio from the official ics release (20.76.30.0835p__3831.19.00.110) and have never had any wifi issues with any 4.x version of android plus It's got good signal too.
[HTC Desire S] Funky_Funked:
For me, this Rom is very stable and smooth, batterylife is excellent, thank you for sharing this great rom!

I'm getting some hard slowdowns randomly maybe once every 2 days (sometimes when waking the device from deepsleep): the ram is totally full without one app running. I could manage to get into the built in task manager and could see that my ram is full, but it took forever. The only solution is to remove battery, then the rom runs perfectly again.

I've set 100mb freemin for ram management in the Advanced Settings.

What could be the problem? Whats filling up my ram?

[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
Can you tell me how did you do this?

As far as ruu is concerned,

It is an exe file you start on pc,

with the phone connected and in fastboot usb mode ( bootloader )
[HTC Desire S] Tom Mix:
well well, quite a journey

[MENTION=3427632]asgardr[/MENTION]

i have used the desire s all-in-one-toolkit by hasoon2000 here from xda

it has an option to flash ruu.zip

since i have the zip from the exe u mentioned i did it this way.

[MENTION=2176140]topic[/MENTION]

meanwhile i was brave enough to restart the phone

it now says radio 20.76.30.0835p__3831.19.00.110 :good:

right after i unlocked, flashed pac and boot.img :fingers-crossed:

now i have pac with the latest radio and i will test it out again and post back. :laugh:
[HTC Desire S] draken101:
Phew glad that worked for you but for the sake of others who are HTC unlocked and want to upgrade their radio, I seriously recommend doing it the way asgardr suggested by downloading the official .exe upgrade file released by HTC and running it, as it is far less likely to run into any issues. It'll put you back on ICS with sense 3.5 but with the latest radio its the only ICS official rom released file name ends with 3831.19.00.110 which is the radio version. A full list of download links for all official HTC releases as .exe autoupdates is available here http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Saga

You'll see the ICS is the latest release with the newest radio, but technically you could load any of the official radios this way. However the ICS one is obviously the only 4.x official ROM which I would suspect is the best option if you want any rom that is 4.x and up

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

I've also gotten these hard slowdowns that persist, haven't ever checked ram usage during them though, I usually just reset my phone. Its irritating cause it'll be running silky smooth and then wham jittery and worst of all typing on the touch-screen seems to be less responsive when the slowdown happens resulting in me generally text msging like a 5 year old :crying: Its such a pitty cause I'm loving Jellybean 4.2.2 and loving all the Paranoid, cyanogen and aokp stuff too. This rom is so close to being perfect just a few irritating bugs. Also while the camera app works fine and takes pictures just fine, it is also slow to load and slow to respond to changing from horizontal to vertical positioning, and its great that the HDR actually works (takes 3 pics and makes HDR version from all 3) but I saw it on a Galaxy S IV and well when it does HDR it snaps 3 pic in less than a sec and merges them. For PAC man it takes 6 seconds to take the 3 pics which means you basically need the stability of a surgeons hands to use it which I don't have :crying: , and it freezes on me from time to time.

So BlindnDumb I really do appreciate an excellent ROM but am eager to know how that update is coming along. Plus I heard you got a Nexus 4 which is cool but hope you still gonna continue working on the Desire S too, I still wanna get another 2 years out of mine before I get a new phone. :cyclops:
[HTC Desire S] Px80:

[HTC Desire S] Tom Mix:
my experiences

i have tried this first. but the procedure failed with

an unknown error on the windows screen and RUU error on the phone. and since i've had the original .exe i also had the original .zip

so i used the AIO way :fingers-crossed:

so far it is working.
[HTC Desire S] Supermatt01:
some issues

So I'm using the new build and I like it. The battery is much more stable but still draining a bit quick it is very smooth though. However I have a few issues. Sometimes the camera app sticks and I have to go to the home screen to close it. The cam has no silent tab (ics does) the cam is not auto focus. It's okay as a tap to focus but the cam I think is better as auto focus. The weather app does not work. How would I add the HTC one? And last I have thought of is no under volt control.
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Almost everyday I have to reboot because 3G network stops working.

At work I use wi-fi, and when I come out in the evening, 3G is not working until I restart the phone. Does this happen only to me?
[HTC Desire S] MatthewJoe:
Nope, this release (even the 22) is affected from mobile data issues, as you've described. For me, it's the worst bug in this rom...
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Thanks, at least now I know. :)

Let's wait for the new release.
[HTC Desire S] Supermatt01:

Last issue really..... The auto brightness really doesn't work at all. :)

Guess thats the same for us :) hopefully he finishes test well so he's keen on updating.
[HTC Desire S] Koensk:
I'm also using this ROM now. Think it's very smooth and it looks great.

I encountered some lockups and slow behavior the first time I installed it, so I rewiped everything and started all over again. Now the ROM is working ok, but now and then I still have to wait for some time for the phone to respond.

Still keep reading on this forum to figure out how all the things work.
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
OK , Time for some good news :D

Have been working on PAC since the last few days solving the build errors caused by the latest commits..

A lot of things have been changed/optimized/added/removed since the last build ..

This build is for test purpose only..

Since I want saga builds to be buildbot supported , I have switched some repos to PAC's default.. buildbot is automated high speed build machines

Download this build, Make backup, Test it and Report bugs device related, e.g if bluetooth/wifi/Camera not working..

DOWNLOAD : LINK INTENTIONALLY REVOKED, see details below !

FULL WIPE PLEASE !!

I am on the slowest internet connection you can imagine , So before my download finishes, chances are you might have tested the ROM..

Inc S and DHD will get updated as soon we have a fine release !!

Thanks to goo for the super-speed buildbox.

Cheers :)

EDIT :

Too laggy, switched back to previous repos..

Build running .. Will be updated on goo as soon as it completes

Previous releases/nightlies has been deleted on goo
[HTC Desire S] giel123:
I downloaded it before you deleted the link and am running it on a clean install. Its not laggy at all for me. WiFi and data work fine, never use Bluetooth so don't know about that. The only thing I encountered so far is that the camera is unusable because of FC's (tried clearing cache and deleting data of the gallery).
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Enjoy the nightly..

Everything seems to be working except bluetooth, I will take a look at it later..

I think replacing bluetooth.default.so in /system/lib/hw and Bluetooth.apk in /system/app from flinny's cm10.1 (21) will fix it.. Try !

DOWNLOAD : http://goo.im/devs/blindndumb/PAC-man/saga/nightlies

Many noticable new features, enjoy !!

Cheers :)
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
Downloading...

I can try to replace the files you mentioned by myself and give a feedback if you want.

EDIT: Did everything you have described. Tried to pair the device with my mother's Nokia 3500 and Nokia didn't find my device, and mine didn't find the Nokia. Visibility timeout was set to "Never timeout"(or something similar).
