:S No idea Pal
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
My thoughts:

- definitely smoother throughout especially in the menus and sense stuff, it does feel more snappy too without a doubt although I am getting micro lags every now and then with nova launcher

- haven't really noticed any difference in wifi performance or cell reception

- a couple of extra bloat stuff added and you can't disable some of the stuff that you could originally like HTC sense stock stuff, notes and task apps, can at least disable their location apps though

- new keyboard sucks so back to swiftkey 3 (no reason anyone should be using anything else tbh! :p)

- overall the UI is better for sense stuff apart from the battery section (can't believe they didn't include screen on time........) and the power saver notification is annoying

- we can now add widgets from the app drawer using nova/apex without having to root

- not used camera yet so can't judge quality improvements if any (but the UI is much better and some nice additions like touch the screen to take a photo)

- a bit early to judge battery life but so far I think it does drain quicker than ICS, too early to tell really

- auto brightness seems to work much better and not be as bright in every condition

You haven't quite got full control of themes for the message app, only preset sense themes so no black background and I don't like what they have done with the default text size for the SMS app, too big now, you can resize it but it resets once you exit and go back into the thread, time to look for a SMS replacement app *sigh* as I feel like a old man with text that size :p

sense browser is even better now, really like what they have done with the quick controls and I don't see any reason to use quick ics etc. for now.........

Going to buy a USB OTG cable soon, probably just get this, should work....

Good Update!

It certainly follow further updates.

Until then, there's no hurry.

Everything is great.

Faster and better than before.

No errors.

Besides the double letter in the horizontal format.

Otherwise no delay in the keyboard.

Thank you HTC.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Hmm, that is weird!

I did try that before and it still reset to the normal/default size when I exited it and went back in, now when I try it again, it doesn't, maybe a reboot or the factory reset that I did fixed the problem :confused:
[HTC One S] lbrfabio:
Fun fact #1:

I disabled Gallery and Tasks(and many other apps) before the update. I didn't do the factory reset and now I can't even

enable

some of them.

The stock gallery, tasks, music, notes, mail, friendstream, jetcet print are permanently disabled. Luckily I don't care(but I probably won't do a factory reset for this reason lol)

Fun(?) fact #2:

you can't disable some apps but now you'll be able to disable the stock browser.

Are you trying to unlock your phone with your old unlock_code.bin file? If you changed your CID then you have to request a new one from htcdev.com
[HTC One S] ibolito:
What I think about this update :

Good :

1 - Sense 4+ is more beautiful than Sense 4.1

2 - The new camera UI is amazing, the new features like the 2seconds countdown for selfshots is genius

3 - Messaging app customisation is pretty good too

4 - The phone is incredibely much more snappier, everything is so fast

5 - overall UI is smoother than before

Bad :

1 - Homescreen is a bit laggy, annoying because it was perfectly smooth on 4.0.4 (the rest is perfectly smooth)

2 - Dafuq is this keyboard ? HTC ? Really ? It's so slow ! And even after calibration I can't type a sentence without making a ton of typos ! back to swiftkey 3 immediately

3 - Battery life is not awful, but not as good as 4.0.4 (but this is my first day of use, let's see what will happend in a few days)

4 - Still no equalizer options in music app (only toggle on/off Beats Audio)

5 - The new Gallery app is annoying : first you have to type on the gallery icon on your home screen, then select the phone storage or facebook/dropbox/picasa... they've added one more step to access to your photos. Even without that, I don't like the new presentation (fortunately you can switch to the older view)

I'm not fully satisfied with this update, but this is not as bad as I expected. If I have to rate this software version, I would give it 3.5/5

[HTC One S] usaff22:
Are you branded, is your SIM Card just T-Mobile UK or your phone too? I checked and got nothing.
[HTC One S] bb2htc:
One word: Disappointing.

Dislikes

- home screen lag

- more than 2 pages of settings

- hate the new notification shade

- sms app text too big (pinch doesn't make it as small as it used to)

- bold text (in smaller font size) is ugly throughout the interface

- some default apps won't get disabled (wtf)

- one extra tap to get to my photos

- few of the aettings widgets (bt, wifi ect) have their backgrounds not equally aligned to their boarders (ya it looks ugly)

- wifi direct still doesn't work (without having to install 3rd party app, shame!)

- extra clicks to sync settings

- lame historical view of battery usage

- Also I have still not been able to connect to my work email (through email app)

Likes

• I like the round robin home screens

• no lock screen setting

• a touch faster than before, except the home screen, especially gallery

• camera interface inhancements

Overall I would update to this version given the chance again but I am sure HTC could have done better.

To everyone who's complaining:

Take a chill pill and give the new OS some time. It lagged like hell (even after hard reset) when I first updated my One X to JB. It took few hours to settle down.

It's smooooooooth now. :)

You've got to install a third party app now because HTC removed it in JB update.

I use GSAM BATTERY MONITOR and it's quite good.

[HTC One S] :
I'm having the same issue. Funnily enough Supersu still kind of worked, so I removed it from the system apps folder using ES File Explorer and installed Superuser via CWM. This has to work until I or someone else comes up with a proper fix. Also, Busybox won't work.

[HTC One S] orenfl:
I found a BUG:

When adding a new calendar entry (either Exchange or Google calendar for me), if I add a recipient (contact) then I get FC of calendar.

I did factory reset so it's not related to that and I'm aware of at least one more person with my specific situation.

Using Android JB calendar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar) will solve the issue but it's wrong solution...

Happens only on Hebrew interface with morelocale2....
[HTC One S] neoantho:
Gmaps freezing every 2min

Gmaps (Navigation Mode) is freezing all the time since I updated to 4.1.1

Anyone having the same issue?

And the new (at least french) voice is awful!

I didn't set my device to factory settings yet though...

I hope that htc will realese hotfix for those problems:

1) Keyboard lag which is annoying

2) lag on live wallpaper and reintroducing patterned background

3) music player with equalization

4) 3d effect on meteo widget, it's a shame that they have removed it...

Flashing twrp is no problem at all. But getting root failed.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
I've tried to flash supersu and it actually works on all my rooted apps. I also flashed the Virtuous JB APM but it doesn't work, it will make your system mad and you will need to reflash rom(flash the Virtuous JB APM Stock won't help to roll back normal).

But when I clicked in supersu, it asked me update and reboot then the rom dead completely. I gotta reflash rom and do supersu again.

The official One S JB is really newer than the one from Virtuous Ville+ RC-1, I think that's the reason folks said it got better battery(but I'm on old radio). For example, I clicked in Power and I found there is a new option to monitor battery hog apps and this doesn't exist in Virtuous Ville+ RC-1. The HTC calculator comes back.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
There is, haven't used it myself yet (as I haven't got a cable, should be getting one delivered by the end of the month), but look at the bottom of this screen shot:

Yes, I confirm that there's the option to show the external storage...but I haven't a USB cable, so I can't test it... :(
[HTC One S] maluus:
I undertand from what you said that there is no problem with flashing twrp. But supersu may prove faulty? may be we need to wait for new version of the supersu.
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
After so much waiting on JB update, I can tell that I'm very disappointed.

- Home screen scrolling lag

- removed moving wallpaper

- keyboard, thing which user using very often have lag when using Trace Keyboard

- very often there I have filling that I didn't touch icon, like bad sync between touch and display :(

- battery drain... 30% for 4 hours, 20 min screen ON..

- I had never before HTC Sense app showed in application which using battery... Now, there is HTC Sense which "eat" 20% battery life.. It is too much...

Quadrant scores 1000 points more than ICS ROM. One more prove that Quadrant don't show real facts... :(

Very, very disappointed... I hope that they will release 4.1.2 or 4.2 version soon with fixes for all problems. ICS worked excelent for me, I expected more from JB update...
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Don't know why you guys use the stock sense keyboard anyway, far better alternatives out there:

- thumb keyboard

- swiftkey 3

- stock android 4.2 keyboard

And yes my battery is definitely draining quicker now, iirc wasn't this a problem with 4.1.1, which was then fixed in 4.1.2? Hopefully HTC will get that update out soon.........
[HTC One S] Daiskei:
Sure glad I'm not as picky as y'all. Lol. I'm happy as a clam with virtuous Ville+, I could use better battery but that'll come from mods of this official release. Chill down and relax people.

::Edit::

Also, you have been told not to treat our devs poorly by commenting on their work negatively... Why do the same to HTC? Until you can make your own fully custom builds of android for thousands of people then you'll have earned the right to complain.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Not exactly sure but I've tested Root Explorer and Tit. Backup and some other rooted apps. They have no problem at all, just setcpu & kernel tuner not fully compatible with this new kernel.
[HTC One S] DevliegereM:
For those wondering if USB OTG works: yes it does!
[HTC One S] vacsed:
Good thing that I waited before updating to JB. My phone is useless without root so I definitely prefer to wait until the rooting issues are getting ironed out...
[HTC One S] hunabku:
Am i the only one, who sometimes gets the "please choose input method" icon on taskbar. Clicking it opens up options of Sense keyboard and a faded option of "Voice input" which is in "available" state and you cannot tap it.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
When HTC hadn't released the update, many people were angry. Now HTC have released the update, and those same people are still angry. What does make you happy?
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
We'll need someone to ask supersu to release a new ver.....

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

They want 4.2.1 :laugh:
[HTC One S] rgbggb:
It's not a matter of people being happy or not, It simply that after having 2 months of delay, people (and me included) expected a little more than a crappy laggy buggy update.

They have a humongous budget yet the devs at XDA manage to do better work in much less time... The frustration is more than understandable.

And this also applies to the update for the One X.

I look at this update as a downgrade, the only thing that it adds is project butter but with the lag on the sense overlay it is just impossible to enjoy it.
[HTC One S] Geegeeoh:
I have no lag at all... maybe is something else then the stock rom that does that to you...
[HTC One S] Shash747:
Verdict ?

I've waited a very long time like everyone else for this update.

And ive been through the past 15 pages of this discussion and from what i've read, it seems like although certain issues like Battery-drain are few and isolated, almost everyone has mentioned that the homescreen now lags.

That can put me off pretty bad.

I'd just like to gather more detail.

When you say 'lag', do you mean its stuttering? or is just slightly slower compared to ICS? Is it bordering on the point of being irritating ? Or is it something you could live with? I CANNOT STAND LAG.

Please let me know.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
The only disadvantages I have noticed so far are:

- gallery you have one extra click to get into your album

- keyboard is worse (but then I always use swiftkey 3 as it is the best keyboard there is)

- battery draining slightly quicker, still too early to tell though

- with nova (latest beta), the homescreen and app drawer are a wee bit laggy, like micro stutter, rest of the phone for menus etc. is super smooth and quick though, using 0.5x animation times in the developer options

- not being able to remove the power saver notification

- battery usage chart isn't as good and no on screen time
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
Also think to this: me, a user, has found 4 bug in 15 minutes of usage, how is that possible that HTC which has been testing this Rom for mouths hasn't seen those? And I haven't mention the removed features...the keyboard is embarrassing, I want the old one !!!
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
I think all stuffs have been discussed in [ROM][S4] Virtuous Ville+ RC-1 | Sense 4+ | JB 4.1.1 thread for many times.

The JB introduces a new scrolling way, it will fully sticky with your finger so sometimes it will has a stutter effect. Actually, there is a method to disable power saver notification but I think root is required or if you rooted, you can just remove the powersaver.apk in /system/app.

Use GSam Battery to monitor the screen time.
[HTC One S] ScorpioR:
Did you perform a full factory reset before or after the update? After the factory reset you will not notice any lag ( even in home screen)
[HTC One S] pepe999:
They have the right to be angry. Waiting for 6 months just for bricking the phone is cool, isn't?

BTW: Can you do such awful quality work at your workplace? Well, I can't and my employer wouldn't accept it anyway.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
That's the way HTC to say X'mas .... cool, Black(screen) X'mas
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Yeah, I sort of noticed that touch/screen response effect, feels more responsive and not as sensitive when scrolling.

Thanks for the suggestion, currently just using better battery stats but will check that app out! :)

Not rooted, so hopefully HTC will provide an option to remove it in their next update.

Yup, full reset after the update (it helped, but I still notice micro stutter, could just be a problem with the nova beta, haven't tried any other launchers and iirc the sense launcher was smooth)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
See below, HTC haven't been testing the software for months... also not everyone have the same bugs. You can try a factory reset, many bugs will be induced by HTC not wanting to annoy people and force a factory reset.

The devs on xda put tweaks and mods on stock ROMs, whether it be Sense or AOSP. HTC also has to regularly maintain a huge range of different devices - I.e the One X, One V, One SV, One XL, One VX, HTC Butterfly, as well as all the other phones competing in different markets. Turning a 200MB ROM to over 600MB like HTC Sense is no easy task. Almost every part of the ROM is themed in a completely different way and looks nothing like the original. Too many people think it takes 2 days to theme a ROM, keep in mind HTC is also working on Sense 5 for next year.

Few people have bricked their phone because of the update. As I said above, HTC haven't worked on the update half the time, they have released quite a few devices over the past few months and all of the software needs to be developed individually. When an update to Android is announced, they don't start working on updates for their existing devices immediately.

Also, most , if not all bricks have occurred because of SuperCID. HTC does not officially support SuperCID so you cannot blame them if an official update doesn't work on a phone that has been modified or tampered.
[HTC One S] kenypowa:
That's exactly the problem with Sense. It stuffed extra 400 mb (mostly useless) stuff into 200 mb AOSP files. And as a result it can not keep up with the updates and alienate users at the end. There is a good article on Engadget that HTC should make a Nexus phone because its software update is way too slow.

Sense had its purpose. Now it's a major drag. How many consumers will choose Sense + Outdated Android compared to an affordable Nexus with the latest software?
[HTC One S] :
HTC has better quality devices I hate that plasticy note 2 and sgs3 , moreover htc sense is sensational , but if you like vanilla aosp and cm are there for you , not everyone like vanilla , as compared to Samsung' touchwiz , htc sense is a way too better . All the people wanted the official jb ota for the sense 4+ , we already had vanilla ports
[HTC One S] elvisypi:
Sense is way different from AOSP, way better. But for the huge delay there's no excuse.

Does anyone know if the update to the S3 is coming this year?
[HTC One S] xsatquest:
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, looked thru a few of the 184 pages here.

After doing the OTA update, i installed CWM recovery and superSU 0.99 but it seems that i cannot get busybox to install.

I tried a few variants but none of them will stick, a few will even crash and reboot the phone.

Root checker says that i have root but a few programs i use, needs busybox.

So is this just me having this problem or do we need a busybox update ?

[HTC One S] Rickondrius:
Funny how they forgot they have another One S (The VilleC2, the underpowered Ville twin.) and didn't update it.. Good 'ol HTC.
[HTC One S] CarstenDutch:
I think it all depends on SuperSU, I tried to install busybox but got a instant reboot also. We need to contact the developer.

Do you all guys have the vibrate when buttons are pressed option greyed out?

When I updated the device I had haptic feedback with the capacitive buttons but after a while it stopped and now it is greyed out

You probably enabled the power saver.

Disable it or uncheck the vibration in the power saver settings (just tap on the left/center of the notification)

Hi, i upgrade my HOS to JB last night but, after a lot of factory reset, unlock bootloader and flash recovery, vibration doesn't work anytime!

When I updated to jb I had some weird behaviours, but for a while the Rom seems steady and bugless, keyboard layout has changed a bit so I just have to get used to it.

Since I updated I have no helicoptering issues, but hey, its been a while, but I did not do a factory reset so they might got fixed.
