[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Eh?

It is still far better than a desire S even with the S3/adreno 220 and better than the XE (apart from storage options and you have removable batteries with them), excluding the GPU/CPU:

- far better camera overall, absolutely no contest between them

- way better build/perceived quality and IMO design/looks (subjective this)

- better screen overall (although some might prefer LCD on the XE and DS)

- battery life will still be better anyway

- more RAM

- much better audio

- newer device and will be getting jelly bean officially before the end of the year

- also another wee plus is that you will get more money when you sell the one S rather than the desire S and XE in a few months time or a year in order to fund for a new phone

Only reason to get the DS or XE is for a removable battery and SD slot and perhaps a better developing community (no idea what it is like for them)
[HTC One S] stragent:
Buy it, you won't regret it
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
Hey man you don't need to worry about the battery. It's fairly simple to root you just need to unlock your boatloader with HTC dev and its easy from there. The recent apps Button can actually be mapped as a menu button! It's an actual stock feature and that's how I have my phone. You press recent apps for menu and hold for recent apps :)
[HTC One S] shaadd0w:
I went to the store today.. & i saw it again ( the one S ) i was drooling on it there & about to buy it... but i didn't know how to know if it has s4 or s3 chip...i read about it that u can know it from the benchmarks.. but the shopkeeper don't allow to turn on the phone :/

i searched the whole white box there looking for a clue but the processor written on the box was (Dual core) only..

is there another way to know if it's s4 without turning the phone on..(e.g : maybe the color of the box of s4 or if there something specific..).

the one in the store is black international version... & thanks in advance for all of u guys..

am really looking forward to use this phone with my hands since am going to evolve from wildfire o:
[HTC One S] pookipsy:
Yes, the store you went have the s3.

s4 you will see duel core 1.5ghz.

Another way is the model name - z520e for the s4 and z560e for the s3.
[HTC One S] shaadd0w:
sorry but where is the model name?
[HTC One S] lunadark:
It is printed on the BOX. HTC One S Z560e , that is S3 model.
[HTC One S] shaadd0w:
Thanks, ill check it out today..
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
The One S is an absolutely fantastic phone. Aside from its storage limitation (which is easily circumvented via Dropbox storage) and screen resolution (still a great screen, but not at the top specification-wise), it's a top-tier product.
[HTC One S] paul569:
Very Strange !

Wi-Fi Direct under the more in settings is my only non-working problem :(

It's very strange to find very few people have mentioned a great feature in this phone working or not working ?

When i use this feature it connects perfectly to another one s but when u select a pic, file or video to share -

you click the share button and the menu comes up with a whole list of options but not the Wi-Fi direct option :(

This is a peer to peer connection so please don't mention a 3rd party app it is what is says Wi-Fi direct. Watch videos on

youtube to see what i mean...

Anyone else have this problem ? Great phone otherwise.

HTC SUPPORT IS REALLY BAD and the forums are always down (very strange stuff)
[HTC One S] cat2115:
the description said 16Gb ROM? Does that mean the T-Mobile HTC One S had 16Gb storage? I check in the "Setting--->Storage and Internal is 2.21Gb and Phone is 9.93Gb. Where is the 16Gb came from? thx
[HTC One S] Brandonrz:
Coming from buttons that, " Click." I didnt notice a difference, but I like the touch screen buttons on the htc one s. :good:
[HTC One S] :
Since you are on xda. I will assume you want your phone rooted

the S4 is a nice processor, the One XL (AT&T) has it. And since you probably want your phone rooted, I couldn't recommend this one, because 2.20 (newest firmware) has no exploit yet. So if you get unlucky, you will get a 2.20 One X and not a 1.73/1.85

Anyways. The One S is pretty close to the One X. Everybody here says to get the S4 version. So that's what I recommend too
[HTC One S] lykos:
Tmobile's One S does have 16GB but it can only use 12 or so.
[HTC One S] Hunt3r.j2:
I have no idea what you're on about, because the One S on every carrier it's been released to doesn't have a blocked HTCDev unlock.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
The device has a total of 16G but not all of that is for you.

1.7G is for the OS (/system)

2.5G is user data and apps (/data) (So use those 2.5G and do not put apps on 'sd' or on 'phone storage'.)

0.3G is cache (/cache)

0.4G is sbl, hboot, radio firmware, devlog and other paraphernalia,

10.6G

is your 'sdcard' partition (/mnt/sdcard)
[HTC One S] shaadd0w:
I just finished my search for the one S s4 chip phone (z520e)... I went to all stores.. but with no luck, they r filled with the s3 chip..

I really like the phone already before using it.. & am thinking of buying the s3...

the thing is: i wish that any1 can tell me what r the downsides... or what i'll not get if i buy the s3 instead of s4...& if it's worthy to put my money on it...

thanks in advance evry1..
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
The S3 gets fewer and later updates from HTC. The S4 runs faster, cooler, using less power.

Most importantly, if you plan to root and rom your device, the S4 gets waaay more community support. If you plan to keep it stock and unrooted, the downsides of the S3 are not that severe, except you can get devices with similar specs for less money. (SGS2, Sensation, ..?) The S4 is more future proof.
[HTC One S] shaadd0w:
Thanks a lot touch of jobo, that answered all my question, was going to ask about rooting & stuff but thx..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknownzero:
What kind of services are added to the original android os from Verizon?

Curiosity comes out of some of the tools Verizon uses to pull information from our phones. I mean do they get some of this information in the authentication to the network?
[HTC EVO 3D] FirePheonex:
I have Flashed LeeDroids newest Rom to my GSM from Mwakious,Using Rom Manager i created a full backup before the Flash Process

The Installer had said that flashing was successful,I let the Phone reboot

It Took about 20 to 25 minutes,thats when i knew something was wrong,Understanding there is a problem i took out the battery wanting to to wipe and use the backup i created,(didnt install the animations or boot sound),i loaded up the Bootloader and went into Clockwork,when i choose something i get stuck on the Rom manager logo ???.

Whats the safest way for me to be able to wipe and reinstall the ROM

*update* i flashed the boot.img out LeeDroid,now my phone contentiously plays the htc boot animation*
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
First, don't use Rom Manager, just backup, wipe, and flash in clockwork.

Second, did you flash the correct radios/firmware/kernel for that rom?

Third, did you fully wipe? Even if you selected it in Rom Manager, it likely didnt work, hence see number 1.
[HTC EVO 3D] mohseen:
I had the same problem with LeeDriod, stuck on HTC logo. try to RUU with the correct file. you will be stocked. but before RUUing you have to relock your bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock" then RUU

I had this problem for a week and I thought my phone is dead and I had to trash it but after RUUing I am back to stock lolz
[HTC EVO 3D] FirePheonex:
I had used 4ext recovery thinking i would be able to wipe and install another Rom,i wiped everything but since, everytime i try to install a rom i get stuck at the htc logo in boot,i will have to painfully relock it and RUU,but which file ?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Depends on your location and carrier. Also, I think getting s-off will solve your bootloop problems.

[HTC One X] tasos12:
Hello people I am an owner of HTC Desire S and time has come to retire my phone and upgrade.

I am seriously considering getting the ONE X so I have a couple of question that you proud owners of it can probably answer.

1.What are the things I should look out for when buying it?

2.What are the major problems you have with the device?

3.Is the white version out of the question due to getting easily dirty and scraches easily spoted?

Thanks in advance for you help
[HTC One X] muid02:
1) the batch number. i have got sh26 and its flawless. i heard before 25 some HOX had the wifi problem.

2) no major problems. at first i had battery life problem but now its all fine after flashing viper and faux.

3) i have the white version. i use a back part to protect my color. the case got totally yellow. cant tell much about whether the white hox will get dirty or not. my one is still milk white. although its protected.

go for it. you will never regret it. :)
[HTC One X] *elmo*:
Good choice. Just buy it
[HTC One X] Feregorn:
Hi mate. When images of the HOX were leaked last year, I was completely enamored by the device's design, and although the camera bump in the back spoiled it a bit, I still find the phonearvelous to behold. Not so much as a woman, but you get the point...:p

A's to your first question, by having a look around the forum, you'll soon discover 3 main issues with HOX models: Some screens appear to have yellow spots, some units have faulty WiFi and some appear to have sub-optimal batteries that tend to overheat and discharge quickly.

As to your second question, from my experience with a UK HT24 white HOX, I never encounters these problems. My screen is of the "warm" variety, I never had the temperature of the phone rise above 46 degrees Celsius, WiFi works perfectly, lags were noticeably before, a

nd now they've disapeared completely with the latest update. Battery life has also improved, plus live wallpapers work perfectly now. Ah the joy of staring at the cosmic abyss slithering below you on the HOX's magnificent TrueHD IPS screen!

And about the discoloration issues of the white models: I've never experienced any! The only incident I've ever seen involved a brown unit. I've never seen a picture of a discolored white model. White so becomes our HOX. I would never expect to buy a white colored phone, but on this phone it fits it perfectly! I take some care of it, however, mainly wiping the back occasionally with a cloth or tissue and I bought a cheap soft silicone case for it that fits it perfectly and prevents it from getting scratched. Just add a screen protector and that's all this phone needs!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
mmm research it yourself mate

like we all did

tons of in the mega information thread
[HTC One X] Deleted member 4275795:
If you want a realy smart phone, stay awai from HTC ONE X. Samsung is the best.

Reasons:

Bad camera in night mode.

Easy screatching glass.

Battery is bad.

Etc etc.

Sorry for my english
[HTC One X] hamdir:
here we go again

super tacky, GB like Touchwiz UI that imitates Apple

cheap bad construction, super fragile plastic painted and laminated like a wooden door

amoled screen with fake pentile density and unreal color tint

ultra low bright screen

easily BROKEN screen

very far home button

camera has unreal colors

etc etc

sorry for my honest
[HTC One X] steve36:
hox bad points unable to s-off and kiss your warrenty good bye if you want to root it nobody can knock them bad points
[HTC One X] dmullaney:
Just FYI - I've had seriously problems with the audio (hissing and excessive line noise) on my One X, and I've seen plenty of other people report this same issue. HTC took my phone back to repair the issue but when it came back nothing had changed - same problem. I've back to my old Galaxy Nexus now cause I was getting migraine during long listening sessions.
[HTC One X] mwilky:
Best phone I've ever had
[HTC One X] kanay2000:
I used to have the Samsung galaxy s3, and I must say, it was noticeably faster and efficient (battery wise). But just received update from OTA which has eradicated lag from the One X, so that's not a problem. The phone is awesome, the design and just the effect you get when holding it - oh and the screen is hands down the best I have seen in my life - the ppi, brightness and just the way that the screen is not interrupted by the end of the phone, your finger just slides off. So to you, I would say get the One X! Its a fantastic quad-core Tegra 3 phone (which btw allows some awesome ps2 graphic games ... amazing)
[HTC One X] steve36:
with out root and s-off its just a phone might as well get mi old nokia out lol :p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you can unlock once you make sure your phone is trouble free, all of us happy unlocked users did

everything you do with s-off you can do right now except the fact that you need a pc to flash the partition images

your S-OFF drama issue is FUD
[HTC One X] kokusho:
Flawless phone since the last update, go for it !
[HTC One X] steve36:
fud is that a proper word lmao
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Aye, I was disappointed with myself that I actually waited 3 months to do so. :)

A few weeks to make sure the phone is issue free should be enough. :)

As for the other guy, he can't be serious.

What the f*ck is a Nokia? LMAO

Looking at your posting history, you aren't new to this forum. Read the first damn page of this section!
[HTC One X] Brds7t7:
I've owned both the Galaxy S3 and the One X. I've stayed with the One X....LOVE IT!!

Had a few bugs when it first came out, mine had some audio problems (popping and skipping). But with the 2.17 update it's working great now.

Mine hasn't had any of the Wifi problems.

Really didn't like the Touchwiz interface and the plasticky feel to the S3.

I'm really happy with the One X and I've always been a big fan of Sense UI. :D
[HTC One X] randombirt:
Going by your above comment i'd have to suggest you may struggle even with your old nokia.
[HTC One X] tasos12:
When I need your opinion rest assured I will ask for it.Unless you are a moderator and it doesnt look like you are you might want to put up or shut up in this thread who doesnt concern you at all...

Oh I get it now you just like to be called a jerk right?

I am bothering to reply to you at all cause thanks to the guys who actually gave me the advice I asked for I have made up my mind and I am getting the HOX.

So as I will be hanging out much more in the HOX forum I think I should reply to your mean aggressive coment.

Serious men get some help.....
[HTC One X] steve36:
troll what makes you a god dam authority on the hox its a sodding fone

already got one mate gone back to the sensation and dont slate people for asking questions you used to be a newbie at one time so go away ye dont have to read these threads and you certainly dont have to answer em
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Yeah I used to be a newbie as well (I still am on Android any many other things :p ) but never opened a thread like the op does.

What kind of sense does this thread make, one will say so and another so.... huh?????

Is it so hard to investigate, test, read a bit on XDA..... yes sooooooooo many threads are already opened with the same subject! :cyclops:

I think the Op better not buy a one x, it's to advanced LoL. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zapz:
Hello everyone,i have a audio problem on my Galaxy Mini 2 and i'm wondering which could be the real problem behind it.I'll try to explain everything and make it as short as possible:

I bought a Mini 2 a month ago and after like 2 weeks i noticed a audio problem.Be it in games or music player,sometimes (it appears randomly) the sound stops for like half of a second and i think it also makes some kind of noise during that time (noticed that noise today).

I went to the customer support center and they reinstalled the software and i got it back in 2 days...after testing it for a while...i noticed that the problem still occurs,so i went back to the support center...this time they said they'll check out the hardware..the support guy to which i talked said that the problem might be because :

1. I installed alot of applications (had alot of them last time,but after the software reinstall i reinstalled from google play less applications than before...i have like 28 installed now,nothing fancy,only some games and normal applications ,my phone not being rooted yet)

2. He said that low end smartphones like Galaxy Mini 2 ,upon installing applications,will start losing performance,etc

3.He said that the background applications could be the ones doing this

The thing is that i don't believe anything of what he said...i mean...i know that Mini 2 is a low end device,but still it's pretty decent,so it should support a large number of applications. Regarding nr 2 sentence,i know phones start to lose perfomance by time,but seriously,only after like 2 weeks? Yeah right >.< and even if it would start to lower performance,would it really lower it that much to make the phone sounds/music not play properly? And regarding nr 3,i don't have too many applications in the background and the processor is mostly on 0% when the phone is idle (checked it with a google play CPU application).Also the music player consumes 0%.

In the end,they took the phone again and said that they will check things out and i'll have it back in minimum 4 days.

What do you guys think? What could be the problem causing this? I'd appreciate an oppinion.

Thank you in advance. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Uizz.UW:
From my experience , some applications can cause this problem . like for example with notifications that should play a sound . An example I frequently encounter is the Yahoo Messenger or the Facebook app . Every time I'm listenning to music and someone sents me a message , the notification comes into action and while it should play the sound it has to , it mutes my sound in exchange .

Uf that's not the case , a list with all your apps would be helpful .

And don't worry about Mini 2's specs , that's not the problem . It can swallow a lot of multitasking , allthough from my experience it hick-ups in some games (fps lag but no audio problems like the one you're talking about) .
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zapz:
I don't think it's a notification problem because i only activate my data synchronizer and internet (using wifi most of the time) only when i'm using them.I have Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger installed,but the sound problem occurs even when all the internet options are turned off.

Here are the applications that were installed on the phone : Yahoo Mail/Messenger, Manga Searcher, Infinite Anime Gallery, RinRin Bench, MikuMikuBench, Rin Clock Widget, Firefox, KeepSafe, Adobe Air, Anime Radio Online (this one was added after the problem was noticed), Barcode Scanner, Horoscope, Japanese Translator, Japanese Dictionary (JED), Kanji Recognizer, Meme Generator, Office Suite Viewer, Picasso, Multipicture live wallpaper.

Games: Talking Tom, Eternal Legacy, Nyan Cat Lost in Space, Angry Birds, 3D Hunting Alaskan Hunt Plus, Castle Master 3D, Fruit Ninja, Trigger Knight

That's about all that i had in my smartphone.

Also maybe i should add that i don't usually multitask,i mostly use one application at a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] peter_baz:
many of these apps autorun and consume your ram ALL the time

i have a feeling that keepsafe is causing the problems because from my experience they dont do anything good

anyway try to set autorun of every USER app to off with this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seasmind.android.gmappmgr&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zapz:
If these applications are the cause,then it means i'm not allowed to install anything ? O_o I mean..most of them are typical applications,nothing that is such a big consumer like antivirus or other stuff...a phone should work fine with those kind of applications...also my RAM is usually 220-250MB out of total of 398 MB,so i'm not lacking it.

My phone is not rooted so can't try to set autorun as you said:D Also it's currently sent to the customer support center for repairs.

And Keepsafe could be causing it? Damn...it's a nice application :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] peter_baz:
keepsafe is to hide pics?oh not then its not the prob

i thought it was antivirus or something
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zapz:
Yeah it's an application used to hide pictures,i don't have any applications like antiviruses etc installed,only what i listed above,mainly typical stuff (drawing application,horoscope,messenger,etc) and some games.

I also e-mailed Samsung about this problem and their solution was to try reset the phone,but since i already had it re-softwared, i guess that wouldn't solve the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Uizz.UW:
The apps shouldn't be the problem then ...

What's the status of your phone ? Rooted ? Custom CWM ? Custom Kernel ? Overclocked ? Also , are you using the stock TouchWiz launcher or another one ? Did you try monitoring your RAM to see if the problem is from there ? And finally , are you having any heating issuses ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zapz:
The phone isn't rooted,so i don't have custom CWM,neither kernel or neither overclocked.Yeah i'm using stock TouchWiz launcher.I didn't see any unusual behavior in the RAM,it loads up like 220-250 MB out of 398 MB and the applications using are just the typical stuff,Yahoo Mail,Messenger,system stuff Rin Voice Clock Widget and Multilive Wallpaper.

And no heating issues as well,phone is only warming up when i use the internet or play games,but it's not heating,only becoming warm.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] peter_baz:
disable the live wallpaper maybe
