Can we use gs2 game data for our sola?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
woops wrong thread...
[HTC One S] shoffobroff:
Same problem here, although it hasn't happened in a while. I have the phone rooted but even before it was rooted it happened.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
interesting. Since you've rooted and changed the ROM it hasn't happened?
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
Same one here.

I think it has something to do with the gsm-mode. When i'm in an area without HSDPA(only G-Mode, sometimes also in Edge) or when i manually switch the mode to 'only GSM', the switching appeares.

The strange thing is that this is not always the case.

I don't know if this is a hardware error or has something to do with the recent update. I can't compare this because my phone came back from RMA the day the Update was released. On my 'old' phone (before RMA) i never had that problem, but that was before the update.

*edit*: Still on Stock Rom.

Greets,

**Jürgen**
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
funnily enough it seems to happen more when there's less light? also it still happened when i had WiFi on so i'm not exactly sure of the cause. Hopefully it is only a software glitch and something that can be fixed in custom ROMs!
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
Has someone fixed the problem with a custom rom? Or has that problem with a custom rom?

I'd like to know if i have to RMA ma phone again or if it's a simple software glitch...
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
after more testing it looks like you're right it seems to happen when the phone is searching for a GSM signal on edge?! really weird...must be others out there having the same issue?
[HTC One S] Lamyron:
Sure, that problem have more people. I have reported it to HTC this day. The problem is the Edge we think. It can be reproduced if you turn on Gsm.

I hope HTC make a update to solve the problem, but more people must report I think.

P. S. I'm on Trickdroid Rom, this happens on custom Rom to.

A whole bunch of people have this problem over on the UK Vodafone HTC One S forum
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
I have this problem whenever I try to press space, I end up hitting home. I noticed that if you slide your finger down from the screen onto the touch buttons, it registers as a button press. Whereas on my Desire S, if I was sliding my finger down (i.e. scrolling a list), even if I went past the screen and onto the touch buttons, it would still continue to scroll. Only if I let go of the screen and then touched the buttons again would it press. I'm pretty sure that's how it should be.
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
Did you wrote a Mail or did you call some support?

*Edit*

Ok, i just had a chat with a support-lady from HTC, she told me HTC knows of this problem and they are working on an update for this. But there is no release-date for this update.

*Edit2*

This doesn't seen to be a hardware problem, thats good news so far. Everyone who has this problem should report to HTC, to increase the pressure for the fix. This was a hint from the support-lady
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
I had same problem.

I gave my phone at warranty service, they checked it and approved the problem.

I managed to get the phone to seller and exchange to new one, but I know if I would repair it at service, they would replace back cover (had little chipping), battery and MOTHERBOARD.

So I suggest you to bring it to warranty (if the return period is over) and they should fix it...
[HTC One S] shoffobroff:
Just to clarify. I have the phone rooted but still on the stock ROM. And yeah, it seems to happen when its not on 3g.
[HTC One S] pierre.grand:
Here is a video of the problem:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEKwMkuisqE

Please post if you are concerned by the problem.

Conditions foir this issue to happen:

No wifi.

EDGE with low signal. numerous siwtch of the phone between 3G and EDGE.

then you shall reproduce the issue.
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
Thats exactly it. Just report to HTC to increase the awareness of this problem, so the fix comes out faster.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
Really annoying now as the phone is barely usable on GSM signal! Gonna have to complain to HTC. This shouldn't happen whatsoever. It's a simple thing to test for?! Can't believe it wasn't picked up...

Don't know if its worth wiping and seeing what happens?
[HTC One S] shoffobroff:
Guys, I turned off the data roaming sound in the network settings and havnt had this problem since. Though I.only turned it off last night but it hasn't happened since.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
Interesting! thanks for the tip. will try this out and see.
[HTC One S] corbie:
Unfortunately that didn't work for me.

I sent mail to HTC support to inform them about problem.

They advise me to try new sim card.

I have new sim card now, but problem still exist :(

I'll send phone back tomorrow, but I think that next one will be affected by the same issue.
[HTC One S] Badmiker:
This has been getting worse for me. Seems to happen particularly when outside? Otherwise; exactly as described; when switching to and from Edge.

Neither Vodafone nor HTC UK are aware of the problem. HTC global suggested I hard reset. Currently awaiting next useful repair suggestion...
[HTC One S] Burn-pl:
Hi,

I have contacted our Polish HTC tech support and they offered me a repair. When I gave them my IMEI they said that my phone is the branded T-Mobile version from Germany and they cannot offer the repair in Poland due to lack of German roms. I have confirmed that my phone is rooted so they can put anything they want. Their response was that my HTC is out of warranty then and they will not accept it for in warranty repair.

I am so disappointed .... I have paid over 400 EUR for the phone which doesn't work as it should.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Yah i know man. This is so frustrating. It is such an obvious issue and they try to stick to their rules with that. Obviously, this is NOT a user induced issue and has nothing to do with rooting or unlocking, yet still they stick to their business rules to limit the number of repairs they have to do i guess.

For the average user i could just say: lie to them and tell them you did nothing wrong but for the sake of the Issue and all HTC does to negate the existence of this issue i strongly suggest to speak true and say what you did and also say that the issue was there before and what you did dont matter for the issue.

My situation is as bad as yours. My phone has no Bill, no Receipt. My phone was unlocked, rooted and flashed with multiple things. My phone was thrown at me and hit really hard. I mean REALLY hard. It still hurts 3 days later. So the phone is out of warranty for sure. But still. This issue was there right from the start when i put in a SIM the first time. That was WAY before the phone experienced any rooting or unlocking or throwing. That all happened at least a week later.

And as much as i am telling the truth i am expecting HTC to trust me. This is hard for them as so many people lie. I have no proof and their Warranty Concept clearly says they don't accept claims for devices that had been messed with.

Still, i am not interested in hearing this. I want that device be fixed ASAP. I am talking about REALITY and not about some stupid advocate bs. What they tell me on the phone or via Email may sound very reality but its not (apart from the fact that they do not reply to me). Don't let such answers deceive you.

Reality is: u got a phone which u need to keep in touch or even do business with. That phone dont work. It never did even when it was new. HTC is to blame for it as they missed some important thing otherwise it would be working. You spent much money on it and most people probably cannot afford buying a new one. Also reality: why should people? Why buy two potatoes when one is rotten? Feed the pigs with it? Common, reality says: you give back the bad potato and get a new one.

Not getting a new phone for a rotten one is just not real. It is trying to sneak away. It is a bad move. Very bad move. HTC needs to wake up and deal with it. What an unacceptable drama. What a dream!

Time to get polemic here!

[EDIT]

On the VF.uk Forum is a user called Studders69 (is he here??) who reports this:

Isn't this really nice to hear? That means a FIX is on the way, new phones will have different parts and if you send in your device now, it gets fixed with a new part? Oh i wish it was so. I so much hope this will end this story. Too much time going into this really.
[HTC One S] Burn-pl:
I will try to repair it in Germany as I bought it on ebay with original receipt from T-Mobile. The only think to do is to revert the software back to T-Mobile crap. I need to find it somewhere on the Internet and then try my luck with German service center.
[HTC One S] ExDr:
Burn-pl You can find it here

Unfortunately there is no way to flash 1.53 with hboot 1.13.0000 :( I hate HTC's s-on...
[HTC One S] Burn-pl:
Thanks, already found it. However, download slots are full so far.

I have checked my baseband and it matches the T-Mobile Germany rom posted under the link you have provided. I hope it will match my device and allows me to roll it back to T-Mobile rom.
[HTC One S] mattionline:
I tried this but now I'm stuck because I can't get the antenna cover back on the phone because I damaged the cover.

HTC probably won't replace it for free so I think I'll have to order one myself.

Does anyone know where I can get such a new cover for a cheap price?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
That is really rough. I have had a look on Ebay. There is covers available for about 24 Euros in germany. Just search a bit.

Guys, just to update you on my own Phone Issue: after 6 days of back-to-stock and relock, the phone begins to show its nasty side again.

Plus, my wife began to seriously complain about the "useless, slow piece of ****" as she had LeeDroid on it before and now she really notices the difference. And to be honest: the stock software IS really slow. My HD2 does better with Gingerbread on it!

[EDIT]

Congratulations everyone! We are approaching 100 reports quickly within one week of having the spreadsheet. This being with close to 200 posts only. Statistically we have about 1 reported device every second post now which is way more efficient than on the HOX WiFi thread. Thank you for excellent reporting! Cool thing!

I really wonder how big the number of affected phones actually is? My beliefs range from: very small, isolated number to: all issued devices. strong dependency on band and signal strength for the issue to become visible make it very likely that many phones never show it and some just go by, unseen.

I really want to see some progress on this, meaning i want to see HTC say something to that officially. Really. I am so tired of this. I just want it fixed.
[HTC One S] serzh-z:
BTW, it seems that HTC support currently ignores reports about this bug. I've filled report form with details about own bug experience but just got the following automated email from HTC: "We received your message and we will be contacting you soon." and no more anything yet which would be useful.
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
One thing thats interesting is that no one in the list reports a problem with the OTA 1.84... Is that because it is only an 'american'-fix and no european user has it or because the problem doesn't occur on frequencies they use in america?

*edit*

Has someone a (custom) ROM with OTA 1.84 and can confirm that the problem also occurs in europe(because it might be frequency-related)?
[HTC One S] rrrah:
have got same problem using Lebara in the Netherlands and Life in Ukraine
[HTC One S] glaudrem:
I also live in Spain and it happens me in VF Spain with 1.78. I'm pretty sure that the issue is 3G-2G reselection-Handover-Synchronisation related.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
hang on i got a question here: rrrah reported with UA - is that Ukraine? Google Spreadsheet interprets this as United Arab Emirates :D Neva! My Geography suxx for real (EDIT) then there is someone reporting from IL which is? Israel? (EDIT: I couldn't see it on the map but that's just because it's so tiny, found it now).

Both new countries and carriers add to the list of 900/1800 i am still taking BETS! there won't be anyone reporting this on 850/1900!

@Opiswahn: if you have a look at the map you'll know why theres no Tmo-US base here. The US only uses 850/1900 Mhz Bands and those seem not to interfere with the buttons (if that theory is right).

So, your question if there's anyone with a US Based ROM in Europe experiencing this is a good question. Hopefully we find someone who could be verifying that for us. Maybe some traveling americano...

There's been someone on the O2 Germany Forums (wow! One user apart from me and Opiswahn...!) who writes this:

Which roughly translates to: "Sent it in for repair. Got it back 2 weeks later with a letter, stating that this is a software fault and a solution is being worked on by HTC". Yay! There we go. Hang in there people! HTC to the rescue! :D

Well, them told Studders69 on the VF.uk Forums, they are waiting for replacement parts. Oh. Surprise. Now we are dealing with a software fault and a hardware fault?

common HTC, tidy up your mess! Stop lying to people!
[HTC One S] Jabbypants:
MIne doesn't seem to do it with a Orang uk sim in but with my O2 sim in it does it.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Please check http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/

Orange UK only uses 1800 but not 900 Mhz.
[HTC One S] Big4SMK:
Just added myself to the list :(

First time I thought I was holding it wrong or it was getting to hot or something. However the problem started appearing more and more until I was so full of it that I started to google around.

It is good too see that there are so many people suffering, although I wish everyone the best with their phone, it gives me hopes that there will eventually be a fix for it.

I reported to HTC already and will do so to vodafone NL as well, meanwhile following this thread carefully. Props to Sneakyghost and the other active guys for getting the complaints together in order to force HTC to come up with a solution:good:
[HTC One S] guigz2000:
News from htc support...

Hello,

I am french and I have the bug on Bouygues.

I've just spoken with an HTC support agent on chat and here's the answer she gave me:

Me: J'ai eu le bug a nouveau tout a l'heure

Sara: je viens de recevoir une reponse de la part de notre expert technique pour ce probleme

Me: Ca a duré 5 a 6 secondes et les boutons etaient inactifs...En mode securisé

Sara: donc il y aura une mise a jour qui va fixer ce bug

For the ones not speaking french:

She just received an answer from a technical expert (ouch...) for this problem.There will be an update to fix that bug.She just can't tell me when it will be available. She just told me : "I don't believe you'll have to wait long" and concerning the date: "As soon as possible,but we don't have a precise date" .

I asked if I should send it back to Support and she said there was no need for this.They have no instructions telling them to ask to return phones.

I don't know what it's worth but I feel better.I love my One S and I would have been sorry to have to change...Just be patient..
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Yeah props to you guys.

Sounds like HTC is readying themselves to do something. That is the second answer within a day now hinting towards a software fix. I already added that one reply from the german O2 Forum which basically says the same. Very nice. Makes me feel better too.

I spoke to a Chat Support agent today too. She was polite, had never heard of that issue (oh Yes!) and she was called "Katarzyna" (which i somehow remember from some other dude who posted a chat log lol). She was instantly wanting to refer me to somewhere else when she had read my description, said she cannot solve it from where she is and then she just told me to write an Email with all Data. LOL.

Had done so 3 times already. Oh then please use Mozilla or Explorer. Ah. Had done so too. Used Opera, Mozilla and Explorer. Right then. Try again. Yes please. Thanks, good bye.

Quick summary :D Didn't get me anywhere.

HTC Elevate, where i also posted this issue and a link to here gave me a polite answer too: We will look into it and get back to you once we got more Info. Ah. That was 10 days ago. Right then.

Either i am incredibly impatient or somehow everyone hates me and tries to avoid giving me answers.
[HTC One S] rrrah:
Seems like HTC hates customers and has absolutely no clue what is wrong with One S :laugh:
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
:D Well that was a bit of a rant.

I actually think they do. And they work out a fix. And it is no secret that damage control is best done by not talking about damage until noone sees it anymore. It is only natural that HTC does not talk about it. Very common practice. They did it with the One X Wifi issue too until it got too big, then they uttered a tiny statement somewhere in the wild (which of course got picked up by XDA Members instantly :D ).

So, the natural way to answer this silence is the virtue of patience and being loud at the same time. I still hope someone has some contacts to popular media to drop a widely visible comment on the latest HTC fails...

I already wrote about it on my Facebook wall but i have no friends that are interested in matters such as this, equaling zero spread...
[HTC One S] Burn-pl:
Hi Guys,

I have already sent out my phone for the repair. I didn't have a chance to check your posts since now. I hope that at least they will finally do something with all of us acting like beta testers of their hardware. I was trying to continue my support ticket but it was useless as they obviously didn't have any clue what I am talking about.

I will keep you posted.
[HTC One S] gforums:
Hey guys,

got a new htc one s from my dealer in exchange.

It's working well now since more than 1 week while my first one had the issue more than 5 times within the first 3 days. I am often in EDGE-areas now, where I hadn't had the problem yet.

Now having a serial "HT25" which isn't really mentioned in this thread yet.

Also my base version "1.77" isn't yet mentioned in the spread sheet.

Anyone can confirm this bug is present in HT25 / 1.77 base phones?

maybe worth a look?

It's a german t-mobile branded phone.

-gforums
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Interesting. HT25 doesn't exist in the affected phones list.

Please keep us updated. Could be you got a different batch.

Base number 1.77 is lower than 1.78. Older? Or newer, different software base? Just please report back after some time if you got the issue or not.

Thanks.

[EDIT]

Look here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/cf061f69b5bf7878/

This is football's RUU collection and 1.77 is just a TmoDE variant. It has the same radio as the 1.78 so don't expect it being much different from that side...
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
a software patch is on the way some people are saying? happy days if this is true! Hope we dont have to wait too long :(
[HTC One S] Lamyron:
I have the same Problem, after some Days i send it to Arvato ... and now i hope i get it repaired back .....
[HTC One S] pierre.grand:
Added link to this thread and to the reporting google doc in youtube video as suggested by George !

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOb1LuWA7N8[/YOUTUBE]
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
I wouldn't get the hopes up too high...

That's more or less exactly the same thing a HTC-Lady said to me after my complain before around 3 or 4 weeks ... Seems to be a standard-answer to keep the customer calm...
[HTC One S] Bundin:
My phone (SH24, 1.78) was sent for repair once, got it back with the notice "part replaced". The problem came back with a vengeance today. After a spontaneous reboot, the home button acted up again and now the phone can't find any network anymore. Update: network issue was most likely an unlucky coincidence: Vodafone NL had issues this morning.

So that's me with a completely useless phone, off to the same store so it can be sent to the same repair center...

I think I'll try and swap it for a different model. This is not worth the hassle.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Understandable. Totally. Thank you for reporting mate.

@Pierre.grand: Thanks for linking your video!

Unfortunately, the links in the video are just readable, not clickable. Noone will take the effort to type that if he can't copy paste it at least.

I am not a big youtube geek but i remember having seen clickable links in the videos? Isn't that somehow possible?

And use the shortened URL for the spreadsheet, its easier: http://goo.gl/mPBzB

Thanks mate.

[UPDATE]

Today HTC acknowledged my support request. Today i am at a point where many of you had been already weeks ago. Doesn't that deserve a big LOL? Or a LMFAO? Or a OMFG!?

Has anyone contacted the or any media platform on this matter? OR the whole One Series Problems? Some mainstream newspaper/online magazine/etc.?
[HTC One S] pierre.grand:
Not supported to link website in Youtube(annotation). But I placed a comment to click in the video description, there it's allowed!
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Odd. I'm sure it must be possible because I have seen it. Well, thanks anyway mate!

Sent from my aging HD2
[HTC One S] Lamyron:
i got my one S back today ... and it looks as if it were repaired.

But it reads like a horror story.

Why the Fuc**** Image not shown?

Hello everyone,

I´m been follow this thread since the beginning and was happy because i didn´t had any problem until last week:crying::crying::crying:...one month after i buy it BOOMM :eek::eek:

Today happened the 2nd time, it was very short only 3 or 4 "flips" I was using the mobile internet on Edge signal, the strange is that the first time that happened I was on wifi internet:confused::confused:

I've already send an e-mail to HTC Portugal reporting the issue (10 minutes ago)

waiting for their feedback. Also reported in "Report button" at OP.

Good luck to all.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
hey thanks for sharing lamyron!

you got a new bottom cover, reason: assembly gap. I wonder if that refers to a gap from before they took it apart? if so, they have fixed a bad antenna then! interesting!

also new mainboard? odd. the other parts are just replacements needed after disassembly.

hey guys did you all vote this thread up for news on the home page? top right, button for voting this into the news. go for it! ;-)

​

[EDIT]

When i look at the spreadsheet i see two things:

1: There have been radios reported starting with a "1" and with a "0.78". I cannot see those radios in the ROM collection from Football. Could those be verified to be real radios? (only one XDA User reported this: Blaskowitz100 if you read this, could you check again please?).

2: Then there is Radios in the Collection that have not been reported yet, either because they are from countries with other frequencies or because they just work: 0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L (Rogers & Tmo US ROM, probably just because of the US frequencies), 0.15.31501S.13_3_10.08.31501S.04L (Europe, oldest Radio).

If anyone can flash any of these to try i'd really appreciate this. Again, my wife has the phone and needs it so can't mess around with it too much. But maybe someone else can? My best guess would be the old Europe radio...
[HTC One S] blaskowitz100:
oh, this was a mistake. my radio is 0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L.

i changed the value in the table.
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
So i wrote another mail to HTC and this is their reply:

Dieses Problem ist bereits bekannt und HTC arbeitet noch fieberhaft an einer Loesung fuer dieses Problem. Es wird so bald wie moeglich ein Update ausgerollt werden, dass dieses Problem beheben wird.

Ich bedauere sehr, dass Sie mit diesem Problem zu kaempfen haben, aber es sollte nicht merh lange dauern, bis dieses Update ausgerollt wird.

A short translation:

Its a known problem, they are working hard on a fix which is to be rolled out very soon, but no release date yet.

Seems to be a standart calming answer, not so good news so far...
[HTC One S] rrrah:
today happened a few times when wi-fi and edge were turned off and the signal was great. hmm, seems like problem is much deeper.
