[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave-:
As per topic, power button is busted. Phone not worth repairing due to age. Other android devices I've used had ROMs which let you use volume buttons or sweep/slide to wake. What about trackball button?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
But how will you boot lol. TB wake up is avlbl in a no of ROMs. But that is only after booting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holspeed:
Quite a few Roms have Trackball (or Volume) Wake included, CyanogenMod (CM7) for example. Read the first couple of posts in each of the Rom threads, that will generally tell you if its included.

Also have a read of this thread (yes, it's for the NexusOne but most of the info will be pertinent) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551762

Exactly the same way as you boot a N1 with a broken power button (extremely common in that phone).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave-:
It works sometimes but not reliable. I can do reboots etc using adb and once a touch recovery is installed, then no probs. I have used sweep2wake on a desire s which was a great mod.

I did check some of the desire ROMs but didn't notice the feature. I'll give some of them a shot tonight.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
Going directly to recovery or fastboot from power off is still going to be a problem though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave-:
Doesn't matter now, no matter what I do, button not responding at all. So another phone for the scrapheap

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave-:
Nah was still totally stock (family member's phone) so can't even get the thing on to do any of that hehe.

The replacement board for all those buttons is like $50AUD on ebay plus repair job....not worth it at all. Time for them to upgrade anyway ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Shame. If it were booted, depending on what hboot u have u coulda used revolutionary to s-off and get CWM. Then use adb to boot into recovery and flash superuser then reboot, download and install 4ext recovery updater app and flash 4ext recovery (touch screen) and from there flash new rom then u would be sorted.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holspeed:
You can certainly root and do whatever without the power button. After flashing a custom rom with Trackball Wake and installing QuickBoot, the only nuisance is turning it on if you let the battery go flat.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave-:
Or turning it off to swap SIMs with another phone :eek:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holspeed:
QuickBoot handles powering off, so it just comes down to how inconvenient you find the method used to turn the phone back on.

broken volume buttons

Hi there, My issue is a little different, and I am a noob at these things :). I have inherited a desire with broken volume keys (planning on getting fixed) I have been able to S-Off but I can't work out how to root it without volume keys, I have 4ext recovery from app store on phone but without root it won"t install, once I get the info on how to install root another way i know that I can install 4ext and them find a awesome ics rom as 4ext is touch capable.

So if anyone can Give me a step by step to load root through adb or any other way I would appreciate it immensely.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
once u have adb setup, use this command to boot recovery

adb reboot recovery

then flash ur superuser.zip file
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechtiger:
Thanks for your help, I tried that and when phone restarted it had a triangle with a red ! in it and nothing happened, I may be doing something wrong :)

I have read the faq adb post and still confused, to run that command should I be in fast boot first?

next question if course is how do I flash superuser zip, will the normal recovery run it?

boot info:

Bravo PVT3 Ship S-off

Hboot - 6.93.1002

Microp- 051d

Touch panel - synt0101

Radio -5.11.04.14

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
hmm i think that once that happens u r supposed to press volume up + power but ur vol buttons dont work.

about the super user zip file, once in recovery u just choose install from sdcard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechtiger:
i am guessing without volume keys I am buggered, all I need is a way to get 4ext touch on them I am all go but without volume keys I am beginning to see that is impossible :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
i can post the 4ext recovery.img and u could try using fastboot commands to flash it. click the adb & fastboot guide in my sig and get fastboot setup and il post the recovery img
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechtiger:
I tried a program called Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool$, I found the 4xt image and used that program to flash, now I will try your command to get recovery.

I will post back if it works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
ok download the recovery.img and put it directly into ur c:\ drive then turn off ur phone and then hold back button + power. that boots u into fastboot.

plug in ur phone (usb) and run this command -

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

if it works u will have to boot ur phone up and then use the ADB again to try boot into recovery coz ur buttons dont work

adb reboot recovery

(recovery.img is the latest 4ext recovery)

I don't know what to do.

Thank you
[HTC One S] HidaKureku:
i've encountered the same issue when flashing custom kernels. try just flashing the rom .zip and boot it up before going back into recovery and flashing the gapps. or try flashing a different kernel in fastboot and see if it comes up
[HTC One S] Adrieng91:
The problem is I can't reach my SDcard due to an issue with CWM. I saved my former rom. So I tried to restore it but the same problem appeared

Thank you for your help.
[HTC One S] HidaKureku:
which version of CWM are you running? you could try flashing a different version (i had to flash the regular CWM over the touch version because it was giving me issues) or you could try flashing TWRP recovery
[HTC One S] Adrieng91:
I will try.

Thank you very much.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Had this several times with Trickdroid. Sometimes you just have to keep trying different combinations of flashing boot.img, clearing cache and running the Aroma installer...take special note of the Aroma messages...I found mine was just skipping right over the ROM install completely for some reason.

Hey Guys,

i wanted to share a small mini project i did.

one of the biggest problems i had is that i really wanted to use the original mounts due to the charge and auto car mode but i also really wanted to keep a case, so i decided to make my own.

ingredients:

1 X (old) Samsung galaxy s2 car mount. (any OEM mount will do just fine).

1 X OEM Samsung generic car mount.

1 X generic metal cell phone plate (purchased from bestbuy car section for 5$).

3 Phillips head screws.

1 X small tube of multipurpose 9000 super glue.

its pretty self explanatory so i will just add the pictures :)

it works great with any case on, and have full charge / auto car mode / audio out.

if you like, hit the thank you button :)

:)

if the pictures are not shown, they can be found here on my shared picasa album:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] m.a.s.e:
thank you :)

the functionality is perfect, which what was important to me.

i dont think its "ugly" as KOOL said...

mounted u barely see the USB circuit...

as long as i have a auto car mode with case and mount i am happy.

maybe in the future if ill think of something i will add a plastic piece to cover the USB but till then, in my eyes this is the best of having a case on and audio out/auto car mode / charge.

:)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Still Mostly Harmless:
My SGS2 has been running AOKP for a few months now, all of a sudden today the phone keeps rebooting itself every few minutes. I have tried wiping cache, full wipe etc.... I tried installing a different kernel and also a different rom, now it's on ShoStock, but it continues to loop. Also I have flashed the newest version of CWM but everytime I reboot the phone it reverts back to the old version. Any ideas help?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Still Mostly Harmless:
Thanks guys, another issue I noticed is that the power button was acting really strangely. When you pressed it it wouldnt turn off the phone it would just bring up the restart menu or it wouldn't register at all, so I thought I had a hardware issue. Any finally I ran this kernel cleaner:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363738

did a full wipe etc...installed rom and then kernel and that has seem to do the trick. Going to hope that it continues to work and I don't have to go out and buy a new phone!

Looks like I have some donating to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Don't use ROM manager to flash cwm. As that is what it sounds like u did when u said u "flashed" cwm. Our kernels have recovery built in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Thats what I was thinking :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Still Mostly Harmless:
I download the latest CWM (6.0.1.0), put the zip on my SD then boot into recovery and installed it as a zip, is that incorrect?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Yeah, that's probably incorrect.

For our phones, CWM is included in all custom kernels and isn't separate from the kernel at all. The only way to update CWM is to flash an updated custom kernel, like if Siyah or NEAK were to update for instance.

Don't bother trying to update CWM all the time, there's honestly little to no benefit from even trying and you'll likely end up with problems instead like you did this time. The version of CWM included with the custom kernels available is more than sufficient, just stick with those instead of trying to update it separately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Still Mostly Harmless:
So I thought I fixed it but at last I haven't. After running the kernel cleaner, installing different roms/kernels the phone still boots for no reason after a while, not as often but at least 2-5 times a day. I am have no idea what's going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
You tried going to stock and seeing if the problem persists? For my brother it was an app so keep that in mind as well

Doesn't really get hot, but after a while the power button stops responding and only time fixes this or a fresh install of a kernel. I formatted my SD card and the internal memory (without grabbing my pictures :( :() and any app I install is new from the market.
[HTC One S] thasp:
My new HTC One S randomly disconnects very often. It will have the bars there, show 4G connectivity, but it won't go to any websites, all outgoing calls stay stuck on dialing, and incoming calls do not work.

I'll reboot the phone twice, and it will work. This happens consistently in locations where a Galaxy S 4G and an HTC Sensation have worked flawlessly.

I have read about this issue on the forum for the HTC One X, but not for the S. This is really disappointing. My HTC Sensation dropped wifi often and the bluetooth range was unusable if you put the phone in your pocket and wear a bluetooth. This phone worked on wi-fi great, and the bluetooth was on par with my old Samsung phones, but this is of no use when it can drop service and not even tell me.

Has anyone else had this problem? I got the phone brand new at a dirt cheap steal price. If this is one of those "yeah that will be fixed in a future update" problems I'd like to know so I can dump it on eBay and get something good before its price depreciates.
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
I haven't seen that as an issue for most people. Esp the way you describe it. Where did you buy it. Maybe a lemon unloaded on you. You could root and see how it goes. LeeDroid/TrickDroid/Axiom good roms.
[HTC One S] Hunt3r.j2:
The One S and all DC-HSPA+ phones have latency issues when you first use the connection after a long period of no data activity. Latency during that time can be upwards of a second as they negotiate from a sleep state back to DC-HSPA+.

I'm talking 10-15 minutes of waiting before rebooting the phone due to no connectivity. I'll try another ROM & rooting and see what happens.

I have exactly the same problem. I constantly put it in and out of airplane mode to "reset" the radios. If its really bad, I end up rebooting several times. There is another thread that's sort of like this. I'm extremely frustrated with this and have tried 4 or 5 different roms and radios. Nothing seems to be working. Thinking about calling it quits on the one s and coughing up the cash for a Nexus.
[HTC One S] thasp:
I've tried several different ROMs & radios to no avail. Same connectivity problem. I'm on S4 so I have a better selection of ROMs. I tried every radio, not simply the newest radio.

My experience with HTC has been a rocky one. First I had the MyTouch 4G on T-Mobile, which was the slowest phone I've used outside the BlackBerry Storm. I had two separate HTC Sensation 4G phones, which were interesting. Some phones connect to wi-fi networks. These two begrudgingly hung off wi-fi networks with 1 or 2 fingers until the wind blew the wrong way and caused them to fall off. The bluetooth signal on both was abysmal - excellent off a desk, but put the phone in your pocket and static would ensue in a manner no Motorola or Samsung device I've used would. Now, the next natural step, no mobile network connectivity without turning airplane on & off.

I love the way HTC devices feel, I love the way HTC Sense works, but at the end of the day, the issues I encounter are just not for me. I dislike the plasticy fingerprint laden back of a Samsung device, and the less impressive UI, but I need these things to functionally work properly all the time - speed, wireless connectivity, mobile network and all. Reading the forums and finding so many complaints on One X connectivity, combined with my past HTC experience, I have a feeling replacing this with another One S isn't going to solve my problem.

Thank you very much for your suggestions, opinions, and input. I highly appreciate it. Should any of my last ditch efforts result in success, I will happily post precisely what I did to make it work. I am rooting for it because it is such a cool damn phone. :( If nothing works, I am confident HTC will be just fine without a whiny malcontent like myself as a customer.

Thanks again!

Wi-fi is much better...but is still pretty wonky. I have almost stopped using my phone for data. 4G is pretty much useless at this point. Out of town all last week with no wifi available and couldn't use phone because data was always out. Uses all battery as it fails to load page....continues wearing down battery if you give up and let screen turn off. When it happens you almost have to stop the browser or background sync to keep it from wearing down battery.

I'm having it worse than all of you. You guys at least get the chance to get your service back after rebooting a few times. I haven't had any service for 4-5 days. I'm on stock rom, stock kernel, rooted just to have bloat removed. I have no idea what's up. The weird thing is, that I can send and receive texts while I'm on WiFi thanks to WiFi Calling but as soon as I leave the WiFi area, I'm done.

I'm going to T-Mo tomorrow to see what they can do for me. I REALLY like this phone but this is the second device that I've had the problems with... I hope I don't have to switch out.
