[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
Go to settings, about phone, software information and look under android version. I'm pretty sure you're running android 2.3.3 because of hboot version. But I could be wrong.

describe the steps you did
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Sorry then your chip is gone. If you have warranty try to brick it completely (not an easy task) because the revolutionary boot will screw it. If not search for a chip replacement thread there are links to a websites where you can buy one for a decent price and find a technitian to replace it or try yourself

Indeed. Highly recommended. I was getting up to 6h screen on time with Anker on Sensation. Mind you, it was 1900 vs 1520. You'll only have 150mAh advantage, but still.. And it's cheaper than original.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-1600m...2T1C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360946351&sr=8-1

Read the reviews for it. I'm surprised this little jem is not well known here, one of the main aftermarket accessories on Sensation forums.

BTW., juggs, open your eyes, N4 sig is EXACTLY the same lol.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
It's not the battery I'm looking to replace or supplement per say, I'm trying to figure out some charging issues I'm having with a relative new battery . Also why after a phone has been charged for a small time and says say 40 percent charged, then unplugged and restarted it says anything up to 70 percent charged.

And where's my new sig bar? :rolleyes::D

[HTC Desire S] undercover:
I've found that new or not, OEM replacement batteries somewhat suck. Try Anker, I'm sure it will sort everything out. BTW, have you tried different charger and cable?

And stop demanding!!! Got things to do at home first. Or the next one will say juggs is a loser. :p
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Yes, different charger, cable, outlets etc, sometimes it can take a six hour charge and last no time at all other times it can take 2-2 1/2 hours and give me up to 4 hours screen time. Plus the above issue with different charged rates after a restart.

Boot into fastboot and type on the computer:

./fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

Output:

sending 'recovery' (6040 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.076s]

writing 'recovery'...

And it has been there for 20 minutes at least. I guess I can say goodbye to my MMC. I'll see how difficult it is to install a new chip by myself (I've did it a few times before, but never with BGA soldering) or if I can find somebody here to do it for me.

Thank you!

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Your dedication to get deeper got my curiosity and I made some digging. I found Motorola Defy battery drops explained. It makes sense to me and I am sure that there is a very similar mechanism working on HTC devices.

There is a battery fix posted for HTC Sensation based on this logic, using Motorola Atrix battd binary and library and it seems to work :confused: Unfortunately it applies to GingerBread only.

So if you want to experiment you can try to find the ICS analogue of these files and see if they make any difference (on ICS rom of course)
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
@ amidabuddha, that has got to be the best explanation I've read so far. I knew the calibration was a myth which is why the levels i kept seeing didn't really make much sense. It was only after purchasing the new battery a few weeks ago that it started to bug me, before then i just assumed I'd killed the battery after the phone being on constantly for well over a year. Thanks for finding, when i get some time i will be doing some more research into this.

"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher."

- Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
[HTC Desire S] undercover:
These levels are reported by the battery itself. Reboot takes a lot of it, so system stops at say 55 and the next it sees is 50 , hence your drop. Regarding charging, how do you know it's not a dud battery? Do yourself a favour, get Anker, and if behaviour is the same, send it back to Amazon free of charge.

Also, mV seems to fluctuate a bit, hence fluctuating levels. The best way to keep it clean that i found was to do a few full cycles for the battery to get it's reading right (it's got its own controller). Frequent flashing messes it up due to frequent reboots, it sort of gets confused. No hard data, just my observations.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
That would be well and good, but after a reboot i don't have drops. I have rises, this is what peaked my curiosity. True i can't trust that i didn't get a dud battery, however if it was a true then i would surely get more consistent bad readings. if that makes sense?

The flashing issue did also cross my mind which is exactly why i haven't been flashing much over the last few weeks, in fact I've flashed two roms and 1or two small updates over the last month

- Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
[HTC Desire S] Fastrite:
There is an app for the Atrix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30205059 here that "re-aligns" the displayed battery level with the actual battery level and has the same effect as rebooting the DS (rebooting doesn't general work with Atrix). I don't think this app will work with the DS as apparently moto devices manage battery stats in a different way?? But It does work on ICS/JB ROMs.

It maybe a suitable starting place to figure out what is going wrong?

Have you guys noticed that when when there is a problem with the displayed battery level the voltage is out?

eg. Displayed battery percentage = 57%

battery voltage = 4186mv!

After reboot battery percentage is 99-100%.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
This was one of the markers to peak my interest;)

"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher."

- Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
[HTC Desire S] undercover:
Lol, this is exactly why I use my as an indication of the battery life left rather than percentage. Learned it while on Sensation. It takes 2-3 cycles to learn mV for your device, easy as pies.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
And watching mine is a way i do it as well, but this is an issue that has been cropping all over the ds forum and we have always explained it as "it's an old battery" and an awful lot of it is, I'm just interested in the why does it happens like that in newish batteries not the how can i work round it.

[HTC Desire S] Fastrite:
I have 5 batteries, and it happens with all of them. The OEM DS seems to be the worst, but I haven't gotten around to back to back testing.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Another point of view recently discussed on a different forum.

There is a file named power_profile.xml located in the framework-res.apk.

It has a string inside called battery_capacity. The strange is that on all stock releases for Desire S (GB, ICS) the number inside is 1390 (as well as on the custom ROMs I have checked), not 1450 which it supposed to be for a standard battery that comes with the device. This can confuse the system battery calculation if it uses this as a base and compares to the current reading.

Now the guys on that forum are testing modified framework files with the "correct" value but since the question arises yesterday there are still no reliable feedback although some user reported improvement already. I will continue following the progress.

EDIT:

In the file itself Google stated clearly:

But after comparing the files from a Desire S ICS release (1450 mAh battery), One V dump (1500 mAh battery), Desire X dump (1650 mAh battery) and Desire SV dump (1620 mAh battery) it appeared they are absolutely the same!

So the conclusion can be made in two directions:

1) this file values do not mean anything

2) HTC uses a template file and this is the reason most of the devices have such issues

EDIT2: probably not relevant. I have checked the Andromadus repo for CM 10.1 which is currently on my device. It has the correct value, but after a reboot it went from 72% to 99%
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
ok, now it's my time to ask questions. What is /sys/power? I asked cause maybe we could look into it. I know that /sys contains all the necessary drivers for the phone to function. but does messing with /sys/power helps to sort these battery issues?

Seeing that ur s-on, not rooted and phone dont boot then i think ur only options r to maybe try htcdev to unlock bootloader then flash recovery then rom but again im not sure if u need ur phone to be working to unlock bootloader, u can always try.

Poor bluetooth audio quality

Hi all,

I recently bought a bluetooth headset (Jabra Revo Wireless), and am trying to make it sound as good as possible. The thing is, the audio (music) quality is very poor on my Desire S. Vocals and especially cymbal splashes, high frequency sounds are very tinny and very low quality sounding. I tried the headset on an old Nokia I had in a drawer, and there the sound was totally allright.

I've been googling for hours now, and it appears that this isn't un-common on Androids. In a thread over at some Google forum (I'm not allowed to post the link, sorry about that) lots of users on 4.2.2 are complaing about the exact same issue. However, I see many comments that the sound was far better on 4.1.2.

My Desire S is running 4.0.4, the "official" RUU from HTC Dev. Is there anything I can do to improve the bluetooth audio? Perhaps there is a 4.1.2 rom for the Desire S available, which one do you recommend? Some users suggest changing the radio, could that work?

I'm completely new to this, so I guess I'm facing hours and hours of reading this forum.. S-ON, S-OFF, H-boot, Toolkits ... it does my head in. I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks for reading

1. Download the rom.zip you wish to run.

2. Extract boot.img from the zip and place it in the folder with fastboot.

3. Copy the rom.zip to your sdcard

4. Flash the rom.zip from your sdcard

5. Reboot to fastboot mode (as above)

6. Run from a cmd/terminal

The only problem I think you could have is that, maybe your device's Wi-Fi module or antennae (not sure what it is called) is broken. I'm not sure about that, but if you have the same problem with every ROM and kernel I think this could be hardware related. Or maybe the recovery, but I don't think the recovery is the reason. However, I'm still a noob, so you might wait to hear other's suggestions.
