It happens to me too sometimes. I just flashed the latest European radio and it worked fine for me.
[HTC One S] nickptrvc:
I'm having the same issue. I've tried three different radios and several different roms and now i'm back to stock by using a restore I had before going crazy on my phone with the available roms... It seems that the stock rom drops signal as well. It just elegantly drops the connection and then reconnects whereas all the custom roms I've tried don't. Not sure what to do... I mostly purchased the One S for its hardware.

These are the radio's I've tried and they all have much of the same problem on my phone.

Radio from RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2

0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L

Radio from OTA_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.84.531.2

0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501S.10L

Radio from Stock T-Mobile US

0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L

If anyone knows of a fix for this, I'd be more than happy to try it.
[HTC One S] pawel_podgorski:
After hours with t-mobile personal technician they figure out they will replace my phone. Phone was bought on craig's list - something like e bay but free - and what's interesting T-Mobile will exchange for new one. We will see what's the story with new one

good luck to everybody
[HTC One S] Co5min:
I`m having signal issues, as well. Whereas my wife`s phone has very good connection whatever the places we`ve been to, mine was struggling. And strange ups and downs with full and suddenly no connection at all within same area. I tried several ROMs and flashed the latest radio but still suffers. Regardless I`m in an area with full signal, when I switch to 3G then the signal instantly drops some bars. Very annoying.... :(
[HTC One S] pawel_podgorski:
Hi @ll. To me subject is over. Im using new replacement phone for 3 days and none of previous problems appear. I have no clue what was a problem. HTC blame t-mobile and t-mobile blame HTC. After all I get replacement device and 3 days phone work without any problem. Battery life is now much better because phone is not looking for signal. Still signal is floating but it is not going under 2 bars and device is all the time login in network.

So good luck to everybody. Greetings.

Pawel
[HTC One S] djdamage:
So even if I flash the stock ROM and put a custom ROM (like CM9 for example), this problem will not be fixed ??!! Even if I update the radio ?
[HTC One S] davwman:
This problem is definitely related to low strength signal. At home it happens. Im out right now and bars havent left 5 bars and having zero drop outs.
[HTC One S] nickptrvc:
I highly doubt it. I've tried 3 different roms and all the radios I listed. I'm pretty disappointed... I just got this phone from T-Mobile and passed the 14 day return period. Plus my boot loader shows its been "tampered"...

[HTC One S] Cr8tiveDre:
So if I call t mobile and tell them about my one s reception problem they would offer me a replacement phone?
[HTC One S] davwman:
Not sure what roms you guys are using but with wcdma preferred and fast dormancy set to 0 in build prop connection has been solid. Before that was having same issues.
[HTC One S] nickptrvc:
I've been sticking to the cm9 nightly builds. I don't see a fast dormancy field in /system/build.prop and I my wcdma is already on preferred.

Which rom are you using?

[HTC One S] davwman:

i am having the same issue, so i'm trying out editting the build prop, but i don't see this anywhere?

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
[HTC One S] orenfl:
You might need to add this line to your file...
[HTC One S] ippon:
ok, trying that now.

i changed the dormancy rule yesterday, but it still lost signal. hopefully this will do it.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

hmm,

this is no good...

after adding this, the phone shows the first boot screen and screen goes off and doesn't proceed to the boot animation...

hmmm,,, what to do now....
[HTC One S] 350Rocket:
I've had no issues with my unlocked fido one s on telus mobility. I quickly changed my mobile data settings to wcdmA only because that's all we have on telus, there is no 2g network at all.

Now with the custom Rom and kernel I have fast dormancy turned off and wcdmA only. Probably helps with my connection reliability.
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Seems like it is not compatible with the current rom you might be using.

Hope you got a recent backup to roll back to.

I wrote this a long time ago.

It might not be compatible anymore with the recent rom based on 4.1.2.

Remember, I wrote it while we were still in 4.0.3.
[HTC One S] ippon:
had to flash the rom again.

i am speculating something right now though. i am on the Rogers network in Canada, but the phone was bought from Virgin Canada, a subsidiary of Bell.

because i am in north america, i chose t-mobile tweaks in the rom. and i am thinking that might have something to do with the signal loss, because Rogers isn't AWS.

with the latest flash, i didn't opt for the t-mo setting, so i'll monitor the phone behaviour.
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Sounds reasonable!
[HTC One S] ippon:
still losing signal and unable to reconnect, unless i reboot.

this is starting to get really annoying.

anything else i can try?

---------------------

trying this setting from the radio thread;

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=2

ro.ril.radio.svn=5

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1998270

hopefully this fixes it. such an annoying issue.
[HTC One S] karkand:
Did u get better after applying that on build.prop ?
[HTC One S] ippon:
so far, but need to monitor for a few more days at least.

something funky was going on with my wifi, kept losing connection when screen times out, so i flashed WWE radio while i was at it, just to try a different radio.
[HTC One S] ippon:
this seems to be working for me. haven't lost a signal in a while now.

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1

ro.ril.radio.svn=5
[HTC One S] vatsaman:
Disabling fast dormancy worked for me.
[HTC One S] ippon:
still dropping sig sometimes, but not as often as before.

need a stable solution though.
[HTC One S] ippon:
still losing signals sometimes.

looks like a few HTC models experience the same issue, desire models, one x, etc.

i'm trying GMS AUTO PRL in service menu to see if that does the trick, as suggested in some other boards. they say that's what's been suggested by HTC, although it doesn't seem to work for everyone.

-------------

confirmed not working for me.

i think the signal loss is happening when i have wifi on, although i am not 100% sure. going to keep wifi off for awhile to see what the phone behaviour is.
[HTC One S] ippon:
i am able to duplicate the signal loss every single time i am on a flash content on Dolphin browser.

not sure if it is flash that's causing the drop or if it is the process intensity of flash that's triggering the signal drop.

but so far, as long as i am using stock browser, i do not lose signal.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekan54:
Just a couple of simple questions.....

Does Google Navigation work on the Nexus 7?

Can you download offline maps while connected to WiFi and then use them offline with Google Navigation while driving?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mbarland:
I read one of the early reviews that said it does work, it has a full gps capable chipset. I thought it was on Android Central, but I can't find the specific article at the moment.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
Yes it has GPS and navigation will work. Though remember that navigation requires a data connection so you'll have to supply a wifi hotspot through your phone most likely.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradsh1:
Can it navigate? YES

Can it navigate offline? NO

Is it possible they could add this later? YES, but unlikely

You need data to begin navigation, you need data to reroute, you need data. Is it possible to start navigating with wifi data and drive all the way there without data? Yes, but pray you never make a wrong turn or that the device thinks it needs to reroute. You can test this on your phone by throwing your phone into airplane mode.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Only thing I would add to that:

Can you download maps for your area? Yes, 60 miles or so.

Can you look at those maps offline? Yes, just no turn-by-turn navigation that we know of.

Well a couple more comments. Garmin, Magellan, and Tomtom all seem to navigate just fine, never having a data connection.

The Nexus 7 is certainly more capable than those dedicated GPS units, so Google could do it if they wanted.

Third party Android apps may already have that capability.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradsh1:
Right, its 100% a software issue. The only question is whether google can stop circlejerking about "the cloud" for long enough to actually implement it. Normally I would say no, but JB brought us offline voice and offline maps, so who knows.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhlj:
I really wish I would have tested this out when I had the chance. Oh, well. We will find out in the next 3-10 days. Hopefully.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekan54:
It just seems that all of the items are there to do this....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iso1600:
JB didn't bring us offline maps, it's built-in with the newest version of Maps running on most/all android devices now. I have all of Houston and DFW saved to my N1 running 2.3.6...

as others have said- i dont see why we can't have offline nav for offline maps. I think the only reason would be that google wants to incorporate their traffic data into the route calculations, but i wouldn't mind going without that so that i can use offline nav. The N7 is a very capable device, and with large sections of maps saved for offline use it would be awesome for nav.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
I'm sure we'll get offline navigation eventually. offline maps was a sure start to it. but don't expect it anytime soon.

I'm pretty sure that there are other navigation maps in the market that don't require data.

but google maps navigation requires data even if you save the maps offline.

This one here on the market has offline, but requires a subscription https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sygic.aura
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soldier-2Point0:
Tomtom and Garmin don't need data connection to navigate. It is a possibility.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradsh1:
Because it is probably a low priority and takes quite a bit of work to make it function correctly, especially when the whole service is set up to work ON THE CLOUD

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheureka:
I use Sygic on my Transformer for navigation. Works great around here and in Mexico where I can't get a cell signal anywhere. Here are the maps that are currently available - http://www.sygic.com/en/android:buy-now. I have Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and all of Mexico loaded and those take up about 750MB. When I'm just running around with a cell signal I use Google on my phone. It's very different than the old days, when I had to pay about $100 a year just to keep maps updated to run off a separate gps receiver. - sheureka

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Fitz:
Do any of the offline navigation apps work with Jellybean and no SD card? I've seen some reviews where some newer phones without SD storage are having issues downloading maps since it's looking for an SD card/external storage.

Hi,

On my old Xperia Arc, whenever I double tap, it zooms in closer and I can read everything perfectly without touching the scroll bars. I find that on the s3, when I double tap, it just zooms in closer but then i will need to use the scroll bars from side to side to see everything. I have tried going into advanced settings and ticked the option to make everything fit but it doesn't do the job. Any suggestions?

Welcome! Everyone has different preferences, so what one person may like/dislike may be different for you. I suggest you make a trip to a store which has some windows phones on display for you to play around with. Also, read some reviews on a few of the phones you are interested in. That may help in making your decision on a phone. Best of luck in your search! :)

Windows Phones are great for the average user. But for people that pay attention to the market, id recommend waiting for Windows Phone 8 since current users wont be upgraded and will be basically crippled from further development and platform growth
[General Questions and Answers] I.R.Chevy:
I have to say a pure phone windows phones are pretty good. Stable, easy/fast to use and do what you need but as a user said already they are dumbed down and you don't have much for freedom to customize....

To nutshell it if you want games/apps/freedom don't get a windows phone. If you want a phone that just works as a phone/social networking device have at it.

I have a wp7.5 phone and its strictly a backup handset I just can't justify losing all the freedoms and features of android.

P.s. Windows phone GPS apps suck pretty bad compared to Google maps.

Pin it to Win it.
[General Questions and Answers] tcapote:
I agree with the above two. A personal preference for sure. Is it good, yes, it makes and receives calls and a good Social Media device. Depending what your specific needs are, you have the big 3 (iOS, Android and Windows Phone) to choose from. Play with them, check out the phones in person, verify they have the apps you want to use. etc..they all work well, just choose the one that fits your needs and that is all that matters!

Windows Phones are cool, depending on what type of user you are.

I had a hard time with the when i had my HD7, but alot has changed since then. Way more feature and apps.

Best bet for you will be to wait for the Windows Phone 8 devices, they will be great and will have SD card slot.

Good Luck:good:
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
In my honest opinion, Windows Phones are extremely dull. (Well at least WP7.5)

Pros:

Unbelievably fluid

Xbox Live, kinda

Bloatware can be deleted without hacking

Great keyboard. And I mean great, after using it I tried to find a port of it for Android :D

Cons:

Apps in the Marketplace are waaaay overpriced

There are barely any apps, let alone good apps

Barely customizable home screen, which may appeal to others

The UI is strange, with all the slide swipes and tiles, which once again may appeal

I really missed the menu button from Android, and the search key only takes you to Bing, so unlike Android won't vary from app to app

Auto rotation support was inconsistent

Notifications we pretty crappy

That was my experience with WP7 but with WP8 a lot may change, I really do not know because I don't follow Windows Phone news.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Visual360:
I posted these on the S3 forum, but thought HTC folks will be interested with the size comparison also.

Different wallpapers (S3 has the live wallpaper).

The wallpaper on the Galaxy Note is actually grey, and not black (meaning, it's not washing out the color, etc.)

Same wallpaper, and I also took out the cases on the both the One X and S3.

Another one, and just for kicks I added the iPhone 4 for size comparison.

It's tough to pick which one, and as they all look good (1000% better in person, than in picture). In the end I picked the One X for my daily driver for now. Although, I noticed the One X having a pinkish tint (noticeable on the clock). Both of the Samsung's showing better whites.

edit: Took out the "color" on the title to better represent the comparison.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
that's relaly really weird. the most gripable thing about the gs3 screen and amoled screens are the whites as they appear bluish. the most praised thing about s-lcd2 are the whites. lol you might have a defective screen or something cuz you got that all backwards :D

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodrain954:
thanks for trying, but to compare screens with the photos you took is kinda pointless, the colors are all off and the clarity is sub-par. You really need a calibrated monitor, a decent digital camera and the knowledge how to adjust to image to be correctly displayed if you want to compare screens over the internet.

Thanks tho
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Visual360:
You do realized I took this picture, right? Meaning, I'm looking at it with my own eyes. Although, I do have a calibrated monitor/decent camera as I shoot weddings on the side. :D

But you are right. For you guys, the color wont come across correctly. I should've taken out out "color" comparison on the title, and just keep the "SIZE" comparison.

Thank you for you comment.

And yes, I prefer the One X over the S3.

i'm logging processor usage using SystemPanel (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1) and displaying CPU stats using CPU Spy.

The log of System Panel shows, that ADBD is unsing 16% of CPU time over large periods (e.g. over night). CPU Spy shows that the processor is goping to deep sleep.

How can I get further information on the ADB Daemon and how can I prevent it from using cpu when the phone is asleep WITHOUT turning off usb debugging every time i'm finished?
