that link says, Install Desire S official ICS update and keep S-OFF and RECOVERY, but I think I have stock DS so it means my S-ON right?
[HTC Desire S] asseroin:
I installed the rom and its quite nice - but there are two main problems, which i can't manage to solve on my own. ..

1. After disabling the spelling correction, it should be off - but in some apps, like trillian, its still activated. Didn't have that problem on 2.3

2. Same for vibrate feedback. Turned it off - but it's still on while typing in my apps.

Thats annoying while chatting ~_~

--------- Solved ----------

Should have looked further. .. found the options to disable both in the Touch Input Keyboard options. ..

I have a question regarding the update. I have a stock Desire S that is network locked on Orange. Do it need to unlock before the update, or should I proceed as normal?
[HTC Desire S] king_josh60:
Turn off your phone, battery out, then put it back in, press the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time, it will say on there somewhere s-on or s-off
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
you can go to GPlay and search for app like Battery Calibration (require root)

or boot to recovery and wipe battery stats from there

startup sound when power off

my phone has never been rooted or s-off. completely stock.

I did RUU, which went just fine.

But the only weird thing is that when I turn off the phone, it makes a sound just like when you're powering it up. And then the screen and the phone turns off fine. But when I turn it on again, it doesn't make any sound. Just powering on normally as it should.

Any one else seeing this strange behavior?

(I have fastboot option turned on.)

After updating via HTC's RUU to ICS, NOVA 3 Isn't running smoothly anymore. The same with Frontline Commando. Any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?
[HTC Desire S] cristiandema:
official update

I use this official update for 3 days now and i can tell you that i was moving wherry slow on beginning but after a factory reset it was superb.

so the thinks i like :

Battery , after 1 day an 5th hours i got 90% of battery of course with no 3g, WiFi, mobile network or GPS just phone calls.

Memory, newer getting lower than 200 MB, i am a normal user with no tones of app installed.

The thing that i can uninstall programs that i don't use

Sense 3.6 look more serious and simple

GPS very fast.

all thinks working Bluetooth, WIFI, GPS.....till now i did int find any programs that don't work.

little improvements like if you keep the finger on home on screen appears last screens where you been , and other things that i can remember right now.

I don't like :

I HATE !!! the android green guy on call screen. it look so childish !!!!! (and this is to all sense versions)

lock screen, the transition from curve drawer where is unlock ring to strait drawer on home screen is ugly, i can't put other shortcuts on lock screen beside that i use on home drawer, the missed call notification (i don't need an exclamation sign bigger than screen to see if i miss a call) if u disable notifier u don't get notified at all, so i jut don't use lockscreen i installed a little app from market NO LOCK and Smart screen off, so i don't need lockscreen .

Scenes and skins from HTC they are all the same just change some colors and shortcuts on screen, any other skins from market dont work on desire s, all skins from htc except HTC( default one) have a white line on top (down of top bar)

Its official WWE RUU but don't have Romanian language, i think that E from WWE is for EUROPE well they miss some countries HOW STUPID THAT CAN BE !!

And finally is a good rom and they could send it via OTA but i think they made-it on rush in last 3 days from august, i am not a Apple fan but more Quality and less devices is a good marketing concept.

I have a stock Desire S unbranded and S-ON i have made the stuff on HtcDev with bootUnlock because i want to root and custom but i change my mind.

So if any one can tell me how can i make-it back to LOCK i owned you a BEER :D
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
When am i supposed to wipe stats ? At 100% charge level, or nearly dead battery, or it doesn't matter - i can do it anytime.
[HTC Desire S] karabaja2:
You're supposed to calibrate the battery when charged 100%. It's simple, just start the program, wait for 100% and press Calibrate battery.
[HTC Desire S] Manneman32:
I have a problem with updating to ICS.

Info about my wifes Desire S:

Updated to the latest updates via OTA. It HAS been rooted by the previous owner but we made a factory reset. It has never been locked to any network or operator.

In recovery I see this:

***UNLOCKED***

SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.00.0002

Radio -3822.10.08.04_M

eMMc-boot

I plug the phone in to my PC (Windows 7 x86). No matter if I put the phone in HTC Sync-mode or just charging-mode. The problem is the same. I start the RUU Setup as administrator and it starts...

This will update from 2.10.401.8 to 14.01.401.2

The upgrade starts and this is what I see:

Rebooting....

Waiting....

Erasing User Data....

Sending.... (takes 1-2 minutes)

Updating Signature...

...and then it stops. It says "ERROR [155] Unknown. Please get the correct ROM". I start the recoveryprocess and then it restarts the upgrade. But then it tries to update from 13.10.401.8. The results are the same... the same errormessage.

I remove the battery, put it back in and boot the phone. It starts and nothing has changed... even my userdata is still there.

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I think you have to relock your bootloader to run the ruu

sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I get two minutes
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
you have to re-lock bootloader and run RUU again.

lock by command: fastboot oem lock

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

you can follow this instruction (copied elsewhere in the XDA forum)

Battery Recalibration:

1. Use the phone till battery < 10%.

2. Now charge it till it gives green light and shows 100% battery

3. Disconnect charger, switch off the phone, charge again till it becomes green again. Disconnect it from charger.

4. Boot into Recovery and Wipe Battery Stats.

Done
[HTC Desire S] Manneman32:
Relocking the bootloader has nothing to do with network lock or operator lock, right? I only have the previous owner´s Word for it :rolleyes:

Unbelievable! One user reports having Romanian language in the stock ROM, another one complains about Romanian missing... Is everybody talking about the exact same RUU?!?!
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
well, i have it and i posted pictures to prove it. this is really bizare!
[HTC Desire S] cristiandema:
Well i dont have it and i allso posted pictures to prove it. the ruu is from htcdev after second appear on site if you take it on firs appear it means that the ruu are not the same, and this means a lot of lies from htc stuff ....
[HTC Desire S] Nplus1:
Yes, I know, that's why I'm asking...

By the way, is camera performance better? I know it's faster, but does picture quality change?

From what I read so far:

- GPS -> better

- Wi-Fi signal -> better (for some)

- Camera -> faster (waiting for opinions on the question above)

- battery life -> better (for some users)

- overall speed of the device -> better (if not right away, after a hard reset)

Problems:

- some apps crash when trying to access links

- questionable language availability

Am I missing something major? I guess we should expect an OTA to be released regarding the links issue?
[HTC Desire S] cristiandema:
the camera is fast enough i personally don't think is faster than previous version and the quality is the same don't see any improvements the only thing that change is design of menus.

performance is better talking of memory available but general movement of phone is not better contrary it has some "hiccups" in some menus but not too bad. :laugh:

I personally believe that nobody from HTC will even talk abbot Desire s and another OTA will remain a dream. seems that we have to move over to another device.
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
i'm rooted, so i took the rom from here not from HTCDev. maybe Skanob put it in. but it is bizare that they'd make official WWE or EU rom without romanian language...
[HTC Desire S] cristiandema:
as i tell you before this rom is made on rush they dont care about us just made-it because they say too many times that will update.
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
i think it's been known for a while that there would be no OTA. so the most we can expect is a bugfix RUU.
[HTC Desire S] calator40:
Does anyone know how to set separate notification volume to the ringtone volume? in android 2.3.5 could adjust them separately, but in RUU from HTC I don't see that option. And there is any possibility to insert Romanian language?
[HTC Desire S] belgianrebel:
About the volume, don't know. Romanian language, download morelocal from play store
[HTC Desire S] lobsterboy1:
I couldn't find how to adjust volumes separately for ringtone and notification so downloaded "audio manager" from play store. This let's you set a different volume for everything.
[HTC Desire S] tep_kubo:
no way to do it on stock ics
[HTC Desire S] calator40:
Morelocal is perfect for my phone ;) Thank you very much.
[HTC Desire S] mayurh:
no ota to upgrade to ics

but lets hope they can release a ota for those who are on the ics build only to fix the few bugs
[HTC Desire S] calator40:
Unfortunately audio manager does not allow me to adjust the volume on notification separate from ringtone:(
[HTC Desire S] horaceCJ:
I'm using Llama to switch profiles based on location and after first run on ICS I got an message saying that ICS doesn't allow different volumes between ring and notification. So, I guess it's a "feature", not a bug. This app says it can unlink them, but I didn't try it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idelata.VolumeMasterFree

Hi guys,

I have updated to ICS and after reinstalling the apps from GPlay (clean installation, previously formating the SD card), I have tried to move some apps to SD card. As a result, I can move some apps wich I have installed from Gplay, but I can't move other ones to SD (such as facebook for example). I have thought it is because the app has been installed when I flashed the ROM, but this problem happens with apps installed after flashing the ROM (e.g. Any.DO, Camera360, whatsapp,...). Anyone knows what's the problem??

I am unlocked HTC DEV and root.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

Go to language and keyboard in settings and where it says touch input click on the right side icon that looks like a sliders, When new menu opens go to text input and tick the box next to vibrate when typing

Can someone tell me how to root now after installing of ICS?

On GB I unlocked bootloader via htcdev and use superoneclick tool (i m not sure about name).

Can I do the same with ICS?
[HTC Desire S] NiruBhai:
Goto Settings >> WiFi >> Then scan for the new WiFi Access Point OR tap any existing configured WiFi Connection and select "Modify Network"

You can tick the "Show advanced options"

Change IP Settings to "Static" instead of the default one ("DHCP") then you will be able to enter the IP Manually.
[HTC Desire S] Nplus1:
WOW, I just had a mind-bending experience talking to an HTC representative over the phone... :eek:

Apparently nobody from HTC knows what languages are included in the RUU (maybe somebody else uploaded the RUU, maybe Samsung or Motorola...), but they do recommend using morelocale 2 if you don't find your language after the update. :good:

OK so no more HTC support from now on, that's for sure!!! The big problem is that coming from Samsung I know they're not any better. In fact they may be worse than HTC (it took them

2 months

to forward an email to Korea and to get a reply saying they need more info about the subject....).

If you don't believe that's possible, feel free to try the HTC Call Center in Romania. I bet they're all "Claudia", it doesn't even matter who takes your call.

From now on, whenever I buy a new smartphone, I'll have a good look at it and say:

"Alright buddy, it's just you and me now! I know it might get scary with all the issues we'll face, but we'll struggle together and if you get really sick maybe I'll root you and you'll be healthy and smart again, the way your real parents should have made you in the first place".

review

I am from India. Just installed the new ics ruu on my Desire s. I am very impressed with the new update. Didn't find any major bugs. The link crash in apps isn't actually a bug if you update your app it will be solved. The user interface has improved a lot. The default web browser is nice but I would prefer chrome browser. The chrome is ultra fast and smooth with many shortcuts. The face unlock works well except in low light conditions but it improves as you use it. The performance has improved a lot the touchscreen is very responsive and the gaming has improved a lot. The battery life seems to decrease initially but after 2-3 cycles the battery life seems to be improved by 25 percent. panaroma feature is missing in camera. The camera is very fast now. Initially it becomes difficult to find various settings. I would suggest everyone to go for the update there is no harm and you wont regret. The free ram has increased by around 50 to 60 mb. One problem the font size has reduced in user interface.

Sorry for posting here, but if I install ICS using RUU from htcdev, and I find it buggy, Can I switch back using GB original RUU?
[HTC Desire S] newdamage:
I'm thinking of going for this this afternoon, but I have a couple of questions:

1) Is the RUU listed on the HTC Dev website the one you guys are using (region WWE)? And is this okay for a SIM-free, UK phone?

2) What's the best way to update all my settings? eg. texts, call logs, app settings, etc.

3) For those of you using Kik/Whatsapp, after this update will I still have any contacts I've made and chat logs?

[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
@almir1984

ICS shouldn't be slow. for me it's working fine. if i were you i'd do a full wipe of everything (i'd spare sdcard at first try).
[HTC Desire S] almir1984:
That means to first try full wipe and factory reset,and if again be slow to try with format SD.
[HTC Desire S] madmike171:
I hate to disagree but you are mistaken. The links problem has nothing to do with outdated apps and everything to do with HTC not properly modifying the links code on this RUU. Updating whatsapp/youtube/gmail/facebook and so on will not fix it. You need to root and modify yourself as posted on various threads. This is the only thing that worked for me, I can now use links in whatsapp and FB inbox, I also have the option to choose what app processes the link again.

By easy way I mean something less time consumming than nandroid backup + restore. Is it possible to backup and restore just the concerned files?
[HTC Desire S] broomer68:
It is a mistake by HTC as they set the Rom to use a not included methode. So you either compile the missing part and flash it into the Rom, or just disable the part and use plain ICS methode.
