2015-01-23 observations

Hi [MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION], [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION].

Please find my observations plus some "wishlist items" below:

"Basic Daydreams" (Colors) stops reproducibly when resuming from sleep. The other Daydream modules work fine!

Buttons > Backlight > Button Brightness: Button brightness doesn't change regardless of brightness setting. But you can see that the soft buttons' backlight flickers when you move the slider.

System Profiles > click "gear" icon for one profile: "NFC" still mentioned in a couple of places, although phone doesn't have NFC.

Weather no longer shown in notification drawer even though this feature is enabled.

Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type > now network types not implemented in this phone are no longer shown, great! But the selection available is a bit sparse, you can only select "Prefer 2G" or "Prefer 3G." It would be perfect if you had the following choices: "Prefer 2G", "Only 2G", "Prefer 3G", "Only 3G."

Apps > Preferred install location > SD: This seems to be completely ignored. All apps installed after setting this will still be installed in the internal memory.

(Known issue) Still can't install Facebook regardless what I do. I will try it next time I flash a new CM build immediately after I've done so.

(Known issue) Front cam still not working.

Sending MMS: Someone already mentioned that they could not send MMS, so I tried it. Indeed I couldn't do so at that time, even though the MMS APN was available, active, and correct. I tried it later again, and then suddenly I could send MMS.

Security > Scramble layout: I have this active, however it only works for the screenlock PIN, not for the SIM unlock PIN. I don't know whether this is "by design," but it would be very nice to have this feature available also for unlocking the SIM.

Automatic setting of screen brightness by ambient light sensor: feature not available/working, although sensor seems to work fine (see app "GPS Status & Toolbox"). "Power control" widget suggests this feature might be available (as there is an icon that includes an "A" for "Automatic").

Would be nice if the "Video Player" would be available right now from the app drawer, instead of only via the "File Manager."

Kind regards,

Ralf
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Great report, thank you! I would add: wired headsetmic does not work on normal calls

Grazie

T H A N K S it worked !​
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
Another thing:

Settings > Buttons > Backlight > Don't turn off: doesn't work, backlight will turn off after a short while.
[HTC Desire S] vojtah1:
And last thing that is broken (except building itself - last 2 are not alive) is not recognizing a SIM. It asks for a PIN like 2 minutes after booting up. Probably something tablet related as someone poited out earlier.
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
i've been a little bit quick, i'm facing 2 problems with 20150120 :

- can't connect to wifi / data ? maybe i have to update ? i have an exclamation mark over the wifi and network logo

- by the fact can't send/receive mms

- where is the option to turn on silent mode ?

---------- Post added at 02:52 ----------

Ok so my box were on channel 6 for tests, i make it back to channel 11 and then wifi works well and exclamation mark has disapeared... Our phones don't work on other channels ?

And the exclamation mark over the network signal also disapeared and now i'm able to connect to data and send or receive mms :eek:
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
I know that issue as well, but for me it's rather like 30 sec... And I've even seen it on commercial, production-quality FW drops (e. g. for S4), so I don't think it's related to the fact that the firmware still seems to be configured so that our mobile phone is internally regarded as a "tablet."

---------- Post added at 13:28 ---------- Previous post was at 13:26 ----------

Have a look at Settings > System Profiles.

And then there's the "do not disturb" or "blocking" mode in the "Notifications" section... (Priority Interruptions only or No Interruptions.)

---------- Post added at 13:30 ---------- Previous post was at 13:28 ----------

Hi guys.

Has anyone tried the recently released "Facebook Lite" yet? The official Facebook client for low-tier devices?

I'm currently at work so I can't yet try it, but I just read about this client, and I'm curious whether it works fine...

Of course it offers a greatly reduced functionality, but if it contains the most-needed functions it may be fine for us...
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
Thank you :good:

Is there a way to add a shortcut "under the status bar" ?
[HTC Desire S] Aizotech:
I use it and it's rather ugly but it gets the job done. Think of it as a wrapped html version with notifications!
[HTC Desire S] vojtah1:
Dirty flashing last build says this:

detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by_name/system
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by_name/userdata
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by_name/system

Is that OK?

edit is it something related to this?
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Yes on both counts. I forgot to post here.

---------- Post added at 18:10 ---------- Previous post was at 17:27 ----------

Well, it's not system-wide and considering this tablet thing is only in gapps wizard the issue is likely within the gapps and there's not much we can do about that since they are proprietary software. Also CM account login works just fine (input is visible) in the recently added CM startup wizard so it's just gapps doing things wrong. It's likely they don't do much testing on 800x480 resolution phones anymore which leads to this kind of layout etc. bugs.
[HTC Desire S] toni_mon:
New issue Can't send files via Bluetooth anyone else faces the same problem
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
I haven't found a way.

But what you can do is change the active System Profile in the menu that appears when you press the power button for about 2 sec... That almost as convenient as what you are trying to accomplish...

---------- Post added at 21:52 ---------- Previous post was at 21:48 ----------

Thank you for shedding some light on this.

I thought naively that there was a "flag" or "config option" somewhere saying "I'm a tablet" -- so Google just do some guessing... weird...

---------- Post added at 21:56 ---------- Previous post was at 21:52 ----------

Duh! :(

I knew there must be a hitch somewhere... :(

But I think I'll try it anyway...

Thanks for your comments.

---------- Post added at 22:08 ---------- Previous post was at 21:56 ----------

I can't see how changing your WiFi could make your mobile data work... I guess it's pure coincidence that these two observations happened at the same time...

Your mobile data issue could be a similar issue as the one I had with sending MMS... The respective APN was present, but still it didn't work... Then suddenly later (I think without even rebooting the phone) it started working...

It's all about acquiring a PDP context, both for sending MMS and doing mobile data. Essentially sending MMS is doing mobile data using a dedicated APN, HTTP, and a special submission URL...
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
Maybe that the option for sound profiles will apear in next releases...

With CM111 if you go to Settings -> Notificationdrawer -> Select and order tiles here you can add the button to change sound profiles, but i suppose we will get it back later ;)

Wifi weren't working with channel 6 but with 11 it works

Maybe after that the phone has downloaded an update of the APN and this could be the reason why data has reworked :confused:

For now MMS seem to work fine again

Thanks for your help and continuing support of our S
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Yeah, I don't even know if there's any system-wide function to detect device type. Even Settings app has its own code for that: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...12.0/src/com/android/settings/Utils.java#L739

Do you happen to have wireless remote(s) or other devices that work on 2.4GHz frequency band nearby? I've a STB with remote control that kills WiFi almost completely if my AP is at channel 6 (conflicting frequency). Any other channel works fine.
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
All my devices were on channel 6, my neighbor's orange box on channel 11 is the only one who could be in conflict, but i think my sfr box is going down i'll call today to try to get the new one :)

I haven't test other channels yet, i used 6 cause i have disconnecting problems with my centrino 6205 on 11

----- edit 29/01/2015 09:05 -----

after many tests now works on every channel

did anybody successfully restored anything from previous androids (=<4.4) through Titanium Backup, pls?

Thanks. My Desire S is a new device.

The only problem for me are some glitches in Chrome (I don't use bluethoot, hotspot, front camera, and other features).

It's the perfect device for me, specially the size.

Thanks.

After a dirty flash from 13.01. to 30.01 I have no GPS. Before it was working fine.

In the Moto X thread I found this:

[HTC Desire S] xerx123:
I have still no GPS. I tried again a clean flash of 2015-01-13 and todays 2015-02-3 build. Only in 2015-01-13 GPS is working fine!

On 15th January 2015 Mustaavalkosta did something with the GPS. See here:

What can I do to get the gps running again?

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
I don't know. GPS works fine on ace and based on reports also for Desire S so it's not universal. You can try this at your own risk: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12976312&postcount=1579

Running dd on those partitions is rather dangerous though if Desire S has different partition layout or if you mistype the device names. I don't take any responsibility of performing any of the things mentioned in that forum post above or anything written below. You have been warned.

The very least take a backup of both partitions first by running:

**THIS HAS POTENTIAL TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE!**

su
stop rmt_storage
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/backup-mmcblk0p13.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/backup-mmcblk0p14.img

To restore them if something goes wrong after zeroing them out but you can still boot at least to recovery:

**THIS HAS POTENTIAL TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE!**

su
stop rmt_storage
dd if=/sdcard/backup-mmcblk0p13.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=/sdcard/backup-mmcblk0p14.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
reboot

[HTC Desire S] czarkoff:
Installed 20150203 nightly. Quite usable, although I've had half a dosen random reboots. Bugs I've stumbled over so far:

su doesn't work. Calling su in terminal results in exit code 255 and no output. After enabling in developer options su works. Stupid me.

WhisperPush fails to notice confirmation SMS and doesn't call.

Quick controls labs feature doesn't work in the browser.

Several dialogs from the browser don't fit onto the screen - text gets trimmed.

MessageEase (from market) gets confused about current keyboard layout. (This one may be a compatibility problem between MessageEase and Lolipop in general, not with this particular build.)

With Orbot proxying every address is unresolved, both in proxied apps and apps excluded from proxying. Stopping orbot brings connectivity back.

Otherwise everything seems to be working nicely. Clean install, S-ON unlocked phone.

P.S.: now on 20150205, no changes.

how to go ahead from here

hey guys i m new at this. I brought this unlocked sim mobile(its orange mobile uk) and its not rooted but shows s-off .,also hboot version is 2.00.0002 .I love this mobile and would consider to install lolipop. Consider me as newbie entering this world of u all and keen to follow ur trails. I know it may be cumbersome for u to explain all but plz let me know how to proceed from here. I have been readying for 2 three days on how to go ahead and install but m not able to figure it out. the probs are:

1. sud i use revolutionary to s-off (i have already s-off) and root it . as it is already off can i directly root somehow (if then how?)

2. I dont hv adb and sdk install (can i install custom rom directly from sd.) cause this would require me to download 1GB files which is quite difficult at my place.

3. I have downloaded the gapps nano and the cm12 .

plz tell me the best possible simple way to do it.

cant post pic link as m newbie here

If its already s off then you need to install a recovery that is recommended and from the recovery flash supersu.zip from their website.

Here's is fastboot drivers.

The twrp zip file extract it and in the folder you should see the recovery.IMG file so in that folder "hold shift + right click" and you will see "open command window here". You will see the command window open and plug in your phone in get into the bootloader and then fastboot. Should show fastboot USB and then type the command.

I have been testing every CM-12 nightlies and reading either DHD and DS forums presumably DS development is based on DHD development, the only different issue is front camera which DHD does not have. Some nightly introduced some issue and later on the issue has been solved by later nightly, for example, CM-12-20150205-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip introduced AudioFX problem on music play, however, CM-12-20150206-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip has solved this problem. So far nice wallpaper has been changed since a few nightlies back. For me, except front camera, the ROM is stable for daily usage as I do not install any big application like facebook or chrome.
