Try wedging a small bit of paper between the battery and clip, if that doesn't work then return the battery. You should be able to turn the phone on whilst plugged in after a few minutes

I did that and still nothing, the notification LED keeps flashing green and orange. When I first tried the battery at the shop, it worked. It had 2% battery left, enough to power on the phone. I then switched it off, went home and powered on the phone again with 1% battery left and now nothing, just the LED flashing thing ..

Please, i have issue using 4.2 camera (+ Photosphere) I run AOKP Redefined 4.2.2 . The camera doesnt include Photosphere. I downloaded the 4.2 Camera that includes Photosphere. After flashing. If i select Photosphere, it asks to allign the blue dot. 1. Getting the dot to the centre is very slow. If its get there and i move my phone in direction, it doesnt, it just freezes on the same spot. Anyway to fix this?

2. When i flashed the zip, i now have 2 camera app in my drawer. How can i remove the native camera app.

And how can i remove a flashed app?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Photosphere won't work on our phone because it's reliant on a gyroscope which we don't have. To remove it use a file explorer with root capabilities or use titanium backup to uninstall. Did you do a nandroid before you flashed it? In future is always wise to do a nandroid before flashing any mods then if they don't work you can just restore.

hey friend i m new here and want to flash custom rom. i already unlocked the bootloader and s-off now i have one problem as my desire s is not supporting GSM mode in other sim (like BSNL,IDEA,vodafone) but works with tata docomo however it work with WCDMA with all sim i m on 3831.19.00.110 this radio so which radio should i flash another radio to work GSM mode only iy yes plz advice me. awaiting uor response.
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
Technicaly, your device has been upgraded to the lattest radio, and bootloader.

( i remember it, from the other post:)

Once in a while, similar problem pops up in this thread ( and others )

There is realy very little we could do, especialy without logcats and /or detailed description of a problem..

1.i'd try if those sim cards work properly on another phone...

2. You may try a different rom -whether an issue is still present..

3. Try with different sim cards- but i guess you already have

4. Learn more about the specifics of your carrier's network

5. Check what CID your device is having

( third post of this thread, or google, wil tell you what's CID,

and how to find your device's Customer IDentification number)

But truth to tell, i think it may be hardware related- very closely,

in which case would be realy helpful to find an app, monitoring

the work of transmitters, performing ping test etc..

run it and see what's going on..

Edit: i presume it was not always like this,

so , when and how your device has started to be having those issues,

Have you been using these same simcards before- without problems?

As once before, one of the members has pointed out:

there are some sim cards - supporting only mobile data transmission....
[HTC Desire S] dr.sandeep671988:
tnx bro for replying

i bought it from ebay and it is imported phone (likely from Germany) so have to warrenty

i check all the sim i have they working well in other phone

i don't flash a coustom rom as it is merely 15 days old but when i try another sim 4-5 days ago i encounter this problem

i will try 4 and 5 but before that i will flash custom rom may be this problem due to stock ics (WEE version)

on more thing when i put different sim it shows network in WCDMA and after that when i again tata docomo sim it ask to choose a carrier from tata docomo or virgin however if i donot choose it automatically detect docomo sim. as i can use another sim in WCDMA so it is not a simlock issue m i ryt ?
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
Signal and data transmission, is not ( or definetely not thoroughly ) system dependant ,

if you were lucky, flashing a different rom may solve the problem,

but i fear, it is more device than system related... ( no harm in trying though )
[HTC Desire S] dr.sandeep671988:
then why GSM mode is working fine with tata docomo while not with other sim
[HTC Desire S] Pixilume:
Hi! I have spent hours trying to figure out why my Desire S keeps getting stuck on the white boot screen. But that's probably for the most part because I'm a newb to rooting phones, and a bit because English isn't my native language. I'm glad this site exists where so many people help each other.

I wanted to flash JellyBean 4.2 to my phone because the ROMs on xda are totally awesome. For this I followed the steps of Hasoon2000's HTC Desire S All-in-One Kit. I get the feeling I have an incompatible screen panel but I'm not sure because I found out about this issue after rooting and flashing roms. Ofcourse I have read this, but no luck.

So, now I can only access Bootloader and Recovery+USB. What am I missing?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
What recovery are you using? Did you flash the boot.img?

[MENTION=3427632]asgardr[/MENTION] hey need uor help now

now as i flash a custom rom but problem persist even now. my CID is 11111 so what should i do?

one thing i m unable to understand is that while othet sim card is not working but tata docomo is working fine in both GSM and WCDMA mode. can u give some suggestion i need it bcz i love this phone and can't use for more bcz of my sim.
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
In the end you're lucky;) can fully use one of you cards,

It looks to me as if these mulfunctions were sim or carrier related...-this is the zone you have to

'scan' for an answer

because your phone is operational ( but not with every sim card )

as i understood- so probably a hardware issue could already be ruled out...

You may also check whether is there, a specific radio driver for your area,,,

sometimes in certain regions, mobile phone radios operate on a different frequencies

( certain frequency range, unique for that area )

but that does not explain why certain sim cards are not affected- like the others:confused:

[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I don't think you can use them or convert them because twrp files are smaller than cwm, you'll have to restore the backup then flash the new recovery and make a fresh backup (hope this makes sense :o)

If your device was heavily branded before- then probably is best to create one,

[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
@ razi914 the red saga was exclusive to Vodafone(same as mine) , it's easy to s-off as long as you follow the guide to the letter, read it a couple of times then do each stage exactly as written don't miss anything, don't try to rush it and don't try to skip stages . You'll do fine

[GUIDE] Official HBOOT v2.xx Downgrade to OLD HBOOT is the one i used. It talks you through it stage by stage, you can even copy and paste the commands straight to the command prompt hence limiting mistakes. You don't need hand holding, the guide is good enough. (trust me, i was iffy about doing it to begin with) just don't do anything different. Once that's done upgrading everything else is a piece of cake (i updated the hboot on the bus straight after follow the guide)

If you're really that unsure then just run the icswwe ruu and unlock again.

No need to apologise, no trouble but we are about helping you to help yourself not hand holding (you'll learn more that way) . It only takes about 5 mins to run the ruu. It takes about half hour to gain s-off if your slow and steady. Take it in stages and don't try to rush

Hey guys!

Don't know if I'm asking in the right place but are there any apps or settings that can improve my phone's battery life?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
You can use greenify to stop apps running in the background, not overclocking it will help, you can undervolt it, things like turning data to 2g instead of 3g, turning off wifi and bluetooth will reduce battery use. Better battery stats will give you an idea of any app causing wakelocks. There is also apps like battery saver that can help.

CodeFireX rom not rebooting

Hi, all i'm new in the community !

-cm-7.2.0-saga

-ICE_DS_v.8.0_Final

-Saga3D-v5.1.0

all working fine

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hi mates, a JellyBean noob here :D

I am in a flashing mood and decided to give Flinny's ROM a go once again. The last time (about 2 months ago) I was really frustrated by a lot of touchscreen issues (the screen was active during call, the suddenly the half of it and the left 2 capacitive buttons just stopped working completely). Assuming this is caused by the sweep2wake code I had a hard time to let it go and will not use it. Tough decision since I like it very much.

Now my collision is which one to pick. I can collect the bits reading through the threads but decided to get advantage of this wonderful thread and directly ask the active CM users.

I have flashed CM 10.1 (build 13) and surprisingly it is not so smooth. There is lag here and there (Interactive/deadline)

So here is my question: which do you think is better in terms of responsiveness (not features, I do not use most of them anyway). I want to enjoy the famous Project Butter smoothness and speed but having a reliable phone at the same time in terms of calling, SMS/MMS and browsing. CM 10 or CM10.1?

EDIT: I have changed the I/O scheduler to ROW, seems better now. Just an addition to the above - the lags are NOT in the UI itself, it is very smooth indeed but in any app that has a lot of space for scrolling. I also love the File Manager, the CM team proves its class once again :)

EDIT2: in general the question can be reduced to: which one has better battery life :) Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
@ amidabuddha, i can't speak for any other Jb rom by flinny or anyone else for that matter. I was using the 10.1 for most of the builds, it got better right up to and including build 12, 13 seemed to be more laggy and battery hungry to me, 12 is superb and if that was the last build i would have been happy. I've no other opinions other than that I'm afraid as I've had no time to try any others and have been on viper for quite a while now, but thinking of breaking back into my build 12 because i do miss it. I know it's not a great deal of help but i think it's the same build that bill goss is currently running as well.

Is the chemical aftertaste the reason why people eat hot dogs, or is it some kind of bonus?

[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
R: [Desire S HELP THREAD] Ask any question (NOOB friendly)

Well, i stick with flinny's roms for a while before turning to desire xs so, if you want my opinion, you should try cm 10 builds at first. They are far better than the 10.1 ones, expecially regarding battery life, stability and compatibility of the drivers (bluetooth for example). Still, if you want the latest version, i used the build 12 for quite a while and the only thing that made me flash desire xs was the will to try sense 4.1. Very stable, very smooth and no lag at all. But i flashed in clean install with all apps redownloaded from the market and ad card also formatted, so if have restored a backup maybe that was the problem (many user had problems once restored the titanium backup).

So, my advice is give a try to the latest cm10 build (133) and let us know your feedback!
