[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Im looking to get a Desire S but would like to know if its possible to have more than 2 colours on the notification led. I had the Desire HD and couldnt get used to 2 notification leds in orange and green only :-( plus it wouldnt repeat notifications.

Does the Desire S have the same problem?
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Yeah the multi-touch shifting issue on desire is really annoying when playing Slice It! or using Maps 5.x.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
there is no touch shifting issue on the desire s (as far as i know its there only on the original desire)

look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc9IZQBZo5Q&feature=relmfu
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Yeah I meant that on desire.
[HTC Desire S] andrewpmoore:
Sadly yes from what I can tell. There's cetainly only file in the os for amber and green.
[HTC Desire S] nafnist:
This Desire S is deffinatly targeted us Legend users.

Specs are not important. Look, feel and usability is.

I have however grown accustomed to cooked roms, and will hesitate to retire my Legend untill I see Desire S rooted and settled.
[HTC Desire S] ze966:
actually (besides that crashing/restarting problem - btw mine its been 3 days without any problem, dont have a clue why its working like a charm now...)

I think the desire S is far better than the original desire.

its smaller, faster, better memory, better batery (so much better) and I dont miss in any way my dhd, besides the 3.7 agaisnt 4.3.

for me this is the better MOBILEphone that we can have nowadays.
[HTC Desire S] xxiphxx2k:
had the desire s a month now you all talk about dual core but the phones really fast and smooth and i got loads of apps installed. Video recording is great. As for battery life a lot of it has to with charge cycles and get a app for the battery life. The aluminium clamshell its great for wear and tear. My friends buy samsung and sony theres look cheap next to htc's
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
The ONLY cons that i can think of the Desire S has...is the LOCK BOOTLOADER

That's It
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
+10000!!!Today I'll be s-off so mine's has no cons.

So I'll have the perfect mobile phone! lol
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Damn!!!:mad::D
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
perfect? what about the factt that u can get a 2 core for the same money?

and hows it perfect for the hundreds of people for who the screen is not leveled with the rest of the phone?
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Does the Dual-core devices have been perfected or at least perfect?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
pretry much. sgs 2 is fantastic. but amdroid isnt optimised 100% for it so some aspects of desire s is equal to the sgs2. like the home scren, opening some apps etx. but in browsing flash, dual core comes in handy!
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
I think perfection still boils down to one user's preference. Single-core the DesireS maybe, but it can perform anything I'd thrown at it. It's a great device and nobody can fault me if I'd to say it's perfect.

Again, the only cons is the locked bootloader.
[HTC Desire S] king_elino:
hallo. i'm from indonesia.

just want to report the wifi drops signal if we hold it in landscape.

this gadget in this area also have same problem :) .

actually just found 1.
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
if only this would be the only problem
[HTC Desire S] king_elino:
are you have another problem besides wifi?
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
SGS 2 is the best phone right now but is huge!I want my phone to fit in my pocket.HTC Sensation too.

Also LG Optimus 2X is big and really uggly with the uggliest UI.

So Desire S for me is a perfect phone with the perfect size!!!Fits in my pocket too! :p
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
Same opinion here... maybe next year we'll have a dual core phone with 3.7" screen.
[HTC Desire S] king_elino:
i was curios.. why the there's so little update about ROM with desire s?

are these coz the s-on?
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
I think all the developers have dual core devices.

Also they want 4"+ display monitor.

We need someone to port roms from HD at least.Right now we are small community but the phone is new,and has the latest rom 2.3.3(Gingerbread) from stock.We have to wait.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
just wait. ppl who didnt get the desire last year will get this asit's so sucessful.... in uk it is being promoted widely tooo. just wait, the forum will grow!
[HTC Desire S] king_elino:
+1 :)

i agree, this also that make me think to change direction for sgs 2.. :(
[HTC Desire S] tkr1992:
Does anyone know if this year, HTCs flagship phone is the Sensation? The first HTC with a dual core processor. Do you guys think its worth upgrading to that or waiting till they release a better dual core phone?
[HTC Desire S] tfn:
Htc Sensation as far as I know will be their Dual Core flagship phone for the year

The only difference I find is its only got 768 Ram compared to SGS 2's 1gig ram

Infact Samsung glaxay S2 and Motorola Atrix are the only dual core phones with 1 GB RAM, Lg's both phones have 512mb RAM

Also its rumoured that HTC Sensation bootloader is locked which makes the samsung Galaxy S2 the DEV's choice phone.

comparsion for the sensation vs SGS2

You guys should head to the SGS2 forums to check out how people are getting on with it
[HTC Desire S] hendrickchan:
the size is perfect, build is ok. the top plastic part of my desire s doesn't fix exactly in, there is a portion thats protruding. Other than that, its great. Oh and the wifi signal drops.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
there is a fix for the wifi issue but sadly it requires root
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
For a start I am 50/50 with this phone, for a start I like the increase in internal storage I can now install more than 150+ of my apps back onto the phone with still loadsa space left. Sense 2.1 improvement but still lacking in places of custimisation. Phone build is good on size but buttom are too soft, hold up the phone and accidently jog the volume lowering sound, no more tracker button so camera is more of a pain to use. Yeah WiFi drops a lot.

Overall a disappointment for tweak the hardware externally, stuck on this on lengthy contract too lol.
[HTC Desire S] qwertydroid:
Can anyone here confirm the ability of "Desire S" to do IPSEC/L2TP VPN?

I know the UI has it, but so do many others. The problem is the kernel supporting it, in a bid to save space they are not compiled with the right module.

No, rooting mine is not an option, sorry!
[HTC Desire S] husky_doggy:
the Apps that are in a Sense folder and A2SD , their Icons will not get updated and stay with the android generic icons after reboot.

icons on the home screen are fine.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rochester:
i flashed tons of DesireHD ROM for HD2 (Nand or SD). none of the SRS/Dolby setting works. what we have was only the UI system. seemed the core libs missed.

could anyone suggest that if SRS/Dolby can run on HD2 ROM? which one should i use?

thx in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mepis:
I have read that this was not possible with the HD2 because it does not have the hardware to support it. All though this was from a windows phone 7 thread, I believe the same would apply to an android build.

[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
Stupid phone with a facebook button. imagine hitting that by mistake.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Very stupid. Definitely not a phone that anyone at XDA wants but maybe some tweens will take a liking to it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
What will htc do next? A touch screen jitterbug with brew sense.
[G2 and Desire Z General] philicibine:

[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Like I said, not for the XDA audience.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thepaddedroom:
I'm sure someone will try rooting it, so it'll find a home on XDA eventually. Probably new devs rather than established devs. Maybe a dev with tween kids.

What I'm curious about is how hard Sony Ericson is going to make it root the Play(station phone). I imagine they'll want to protect the hell out of their game market.

[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
The chacha would be nice... if you gouged the "F" off of the "motherF-er" button and remapped it to do something that makes sense.

Its a form factor that really makes a lot of sense and is sorely lacked by android phones.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug2e:
Hi guys,

I flashed darky's ROM last night using the resurrection edition with version 9.2.

All works great except the back button now functions the same as the home button. This is extremely annoying as you can probably imagine.

All other buttons function as they should and this is the only issue i've seen so far.

Has anyone experienced this? Do you know anything i can do to fix it?

I noticed it was like this as soon as i flashed the base ROM.

Cheers for your help!

Doug
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:

Great idea but...

...I actually made a dumb mistake :confused: and had used the captivate version :eek:

Oh well I'll not do that again ha ha! I'm new to this malarky :rolleyes: (that's my excuse anyway)

Darky's ROM working great now! Has given my Galaxy S a new lease of life :D

Is there any way to install the app in external SD card instead of internal SD card in 2.2?

I have used Archangel for temporary root.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realityr:
I would like to know myself.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
No, and why?

The external SD-Card is mounted way after the OS is booted and esp. Widgets are unusable that way.

Why do you think you want that?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrEcP:
well imho thats just semi right - as u could use propably some script like the app2sd script I use on my wildfire wich does exactly that.

(im not sure how it works exactly but it moves apps to sdcard and injects a symlink i think - but not sure)

Anyway with the symlink method u nearly should be able to move any app u want...

But it would need some custiomisation propably as our 1st "virtual" sdcard is the /mnt/storage and the sdcard is mountet beneath...

Anyway the short answer still sounds: NO

And the use of this is really: USELESS - as the sdcard propably is slower then internal memory + we got enough memory for ANY app u want so stick with the way it's done now...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] oOp:
Hi Gurus.

Iam searching a way to change with an application of mine the APN on my phone.

Did anyone find this already?

Thanks for help.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lemonspeakers:
interested in one. i know its hidden somewhere in the registry.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] notebookgrail:
Which APN are you referring to? The GPS APN or the Carrier APN setting?

If its carrier APN, its stored on the Phone Modem if my memory serves right.

I can write a small App for both, if you want (using the AT command). Unfortunately, it will be only for Dell Venue Pro.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] palmbluetooth:
That will be great, I need to access the APN setting on my Venue Pro, and I can't right now.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] notebookgrail:
Just curious, can't you do that under the 'Add APN' option under the Settings->Cellular ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] palmbluetooth:
Yes, that's what I do now.

But, I use Simple Mobile (a sub-lease of T-Mobile) and when I need anything that uses data, it takes a long time to connect, once it connects it goes fast. I tried using a T-Mobile sim and everything was fast, I have used my sim on a HD2 with WM6.5, android and WP7 and it was also fast, which made me think that since the T-Mobile APN settings are coded in the phone (because it is a locked phone) it tries to connect to T-Mobile first every time and only after that it uses my APN and it is driving me crazy.

I hope you can help.

Thanks.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
That is the default in the linux kernels. You'll have to do some kernel hacking if you want it permanent, but be advised, changing that setting in the kernel will change it for ALL storage media unless you really change the way the device driver works in the code to only change it for a specific device. There must be a good reason why it has been 4K in all linux kernels. I'm on the fence with this one. Until someone gives me a good reason as to why 4K is not sufficient, I'll stick with the defaults. Also, that read-ahead ram buffer doesn't just magically appear in your device. This is using real ram that might effect the way other ram-sensitive programs react.
[EVO 4G General] DFlame:
If you're having problems with your GPS continually dropping out, particularly on the new Gingerbread release, try downloading GPS Status from the App Market and reset your AGPS data.

In GPS Status,

hit [Menu],

then [Tools],

[Manage A-GPS state],

[Reset],

Optionally you can [Download] for new A-GPS data

I tried it on CM7 nightly 36 and apparently I'm getting quicker locks.

[Update 01]

Apparently, that first method works for some, but not all. There is a second method, but it requires you to be on a Sense Rom (Stock HTC based). I'll add it here. More people say that this works better, but I was reluctant since I was already on an AOSP Rom (CM7), so I would have to flash back to a Sense Rom.

You will need your MSL code for your phone

Using a Sense Rom,

go into the Phone Dialer,

and Dial ##GPSCLRX# (##4772579#)

(Reboot)

Here is the original post by SantinoInc: GPS Fix (GPS Reset)
[EVO 4G General] Crsdr37:
Were you driving? That has been stated numerous times to only work while not moving. Or to only work for a short period. I did the ##GPSCLRX# fix and have not had to worry since. Getting down to 6m accurate whole driving.

[EVO 4G General] nYdGeo:
Please forgive my ignorance, but how do you type letters on the dialer? I tried using the number key with those letters (works out to ##4772579#) which didn't work. So I feel appropriately humbled. How does one run that code, please?

GPS Status works fine, but I only use it for this; so, if I can not have another app on my phone that would be great.

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G General] AyyRayy:
Must be flashed to a sense rom and type that into the dialer as stated above
[EVO 4G General] cloak.n.dagger:
I was also having GPS problems with the CM7 ROMs. I restored a Sense ROM and ran the fix using the dialer, then restored my CM7 ROM and my GPS worked perfectly. However, I just flashed to the lated MIUI ROM and now my GPS is taking a long time to lock. Had maps open for 10min on my drive into work before it locked on. It did eventaully lock but it doesn't seem to work as well as it use to. Wondering if this is a MIUI thing??
[EVO 4G General] detroit2hi:
Im in Japan on a seasonal stanby for three months

so i dont have service, just paying 9$ a month

Im trying the ##GPSCLRX# on a sense rom so i can switch over to a 2.3.3 rom

I put in my MSL and did the reboot

i opened maps and have been waiting for around 30 mins for a lock

and NOOO success

It just will not lock!

Is it because im on Seasonal standby?? and not using phone service

My GPS is on and im using wireless networks turned on

its still moving around not locking

ahhhh!!!
[EVO 4G General] azvargas:
My gps would not lock and the icon would just disappear after a few minutes. I was able to get it to lock using the steps for 'GPS Status' app, but I had to do it again the next day. But after closing out of all the apps, the gps icon was still there and would not go away.

There was no need to start another thread on the GPS fix; it's been posted for quite awhile now.
[EVO 4G General] ItsDon:
This is not a new thread. It was started in February.
[EVO 4G General] wmstwo002:
My bad.....sorry, OP. I've seen this fix in several other posts.
[EVO 4G General] vinconti:
No, even from Japan with no service you should be able to get a lock. In fact you should be able to get a lock from anywhere with NO data at all, but you do need a data connection to download the map data and see a map overlay of where you are (obviously), and also you need data in order to download the GPS "cheat sheet" A-GPS data. But it sounds like you have other problems, perhaps your ##GPSCLRX# code didn't take. Did you reboot all the way through? try it three times in a row and make sure that you do NOT use any app that can access the GPS device after the last reset before flashing an AOSP rom. That includes the market, the web browser, maps, latitude, navigation, etc. After the second time you reset it, try shutting it off entirely in the control panels.
[EVO 4G General] aaanadie:
GPS fixed on CM7

Hello,

I tried everything said in forums about gps fix but I had no gps on CM7 nightly and had no problems in sense roms. I do not remember where I found someone recommending a kernel for gps fix and another people said ##GPSCLRX# solution should be apply 3 times in a row to be effective, so I tried both, I have gps working perfect on CM7 but I cannot say which method was the solution.

This is what I did:

- Made a backup, of course.

- In Ginger-AleV2 (sense rom) I dialed ##GPSCLRX#, then enter my MSL, reboot automatically. Returning from boot I repeated this step other 2 times.

- Go to recovery (I have Amon-RA 2.3) and restored my CM7 nightly #86, then I flashed #87 (in same session, just wipe cache & dalvik before), then flashed GoDm0de-v8 kernel (in same session too).

- Reboot and checked GPS, working perfect since more than 8 hours.
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
after you do the gpsclrx command and it reboots you NEED to open the google maps or similar software, let it lock and track for a few minutes, then reboot and nandroid back to cm7
[EVO 4G General] jbrianj:
Just for giggles, leave your GPS on when you flash CM7. That was what finally worked for me.
[EVO 4G General] aaanadie:
I did that before and did not work, I got GPS just for a few hours. I have GPS now working perfect and I did not it in that way.
[EVO 4G General] JSmurfy:
finally tried this and BIINGO first time since i went GB that i finally had GPS.. stable... THANKKKK YOU

PS method one.. thats all i did..
[EVO 4G General] ben dover:
quick question. I tried doing the sense gps fix a while back but when I enter ##GPSCLRX# in the dialer, it never prompts me to enter my MSL number. I am on CM7 and flashed into a 2.2 based Fresh rom.

Anyone else seeing this? I was going to try it again only using the rooted stock rom this time.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Fuze-A-Rama:
Go all the way down to the bottom. Right after FOTA it says,HSPA+/LTE. Can you say,false advertising?!? Mistake? NOT....
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
Yea, even the upcoming Atrix is 3G (HSPA+) only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mikejames07:
I thought from the conference where they revealed the Atrix and the Inspire they said the Atrix would be compatible with LTE and the Inspire was HSPDA only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
Nope. Don't trust the uneducated reps.

http://developer.motorola.com/products/atrix-mb860/

Atrix supports HSDPA and HSUPA connectivity only.

FYI, 3G network is data network stack on top of voice network stack. LTE purely packet based data only network where voice is managed via VoIP. Completely different animal.

As for HSPA+, AT&T is feeding the public a "4G" that is nothing more than 3G that's been tweaked for marginally better performance. Even LTE (and WiMax) are not true 4G and is typically labeled as stopgap 3.9G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] uhmump95:
When I bought the Inspire for my wife, the rep said that it would be compatible with ATT's upcoming LTE network. Doesn't matter, my wife won't care anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JetBlk:
Yes, compatible with the LTE network as in it will work, but not take advantage of the LTE technology. When reps say things like that, they are misleading customers and not telling the full truth, but only half truths.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fuze-A-Rama:
Theres a huge amount of disinformation that ATTs employees are told give to customers. Both the Inspire and the Atrix list LTE in the specs. This is false advertising supreme. Its amazing the lies that CS is dishing out. Especially when it come to LTE and retaing your unlimited data plans. Everywhereb people are threatening to drop their service cause theyve been told their unlimites wont be kept. This is just WRONG.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JetBlk:
And after having a second look on the page, you're just confused. It says as a CATEGORY of LTE/HSPA+ then next to it says it has HSPA+. The column on the left of the product page is just categories/labels for the spec, when the spec is on the right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
False advertising, yes. But I don't care, at least ATT has respectable Android phones once rooted and minus their sorry unusable bloat. H+ is fast enough for me and 99% of users don't even need 4g. I know we pay good money(some more than others, don't ask :( ) for these things and expect them to work as advertised but all carriers are the same and there is no true 4g.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JetBlk:
Again, it isnt false advertisement. Their site is just designed like ****. The CATEGORY of wireless technology is on the left, with the ACTUAL SPEC on the right. People are getting confused by this it seems.

See screenshot for an example, it only says the phone has HSPA+ as you see on the RIGHT SIDE
