Hi,

i have a accu problem with my new E10i when i use the flight mode,

it takes me 30-40% every night!! From 6times, 2times 3% and 4 times 30-40%.

This is not normal isnt´t it?

Firmware is now 2.1.1.A.0.6.

Do you have any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

I tried asking this in the development threads but of course I cannot...

I followed all the steps on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944681 this thread but it didn't seem to work.

CwM 3.0.0.6. Rom manager version 3.0.0.7. I flashed the newest Glacier Rom and it worked fine. Now when I try and go back in CWM recovery and switch back from Glacier to the stock root it holds up on the white loading screen and won't go past it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well this can be ignored and/or deleted...

Just got it to work.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
If you searched before posting, you'd have discovered that *nothing* you have posted here is new. It also doesn't work for some Tabs with later ROMs, and for this you would need to use SuperOneClickRoot, or manually apply the RageAgainstTheCage exploit. ;)

Regards,

[Galaxy Tab General] KChauJen:
It's true. Nothing new and it's not "Greatest"

Sometime we have to use the SuperOneClick.

Just for confirmation.

I had the z4root until the sprint ota update then I lost it I then tried the z4root root again and it wouldn't work so I tried superoneclick and it says waiting for device and stays there I have windows xp and a sprint galaxy tab in need of help I just want to be rooted again.
[Galaxy Tab General] Prubin999:
Why is it called one click when it is so complicated?
[Galaxy Tab General] SeanBlader:
Pretty much Alex's guide is exactly how my rooting process went on my off-contract T-Mobile Tab. I will look forward to the next episode about flashing, unless I get up the courage to try myself.
[Galaxy Tab General] silvatyrant:
Dude...seriously?! :eek:
[Galaxy Tab General] Copyright78:
Agreed. If I could only get Kies to see my galaxy then maye I could actually try SuperOneClick.
[Galaxy Tab General] captainags:
Hello dear friend and thanks for the instructions.

However in my Tab there is no "Unknown sourc e" to enable. AT+T locked it for good.
[Galaxy Tab General] AlpineM3:
My DInc has been flashed more than a Girls Gone wild camera man and I still wont do the GTab.....soo complicated and just not worth it at this point. I have a Sprint version and it has gotten no love, nothing worth trying at least.

There has got to be an easier way.
[Galaxy Tab General] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Z4Root is a joke....

Sorry to say that I've tried this method and IT DOES NOT WORK (for me anyway). So what is a person supposed to do in this situation? Are there other ways to root the tab other than z4root?
[Galaxy Tab General] SilverTT1:
Is this what happens on all newer AT&T GTs? I assume there is a work around that someone knows?

[Galaxy Tab General] etschuetz:
No Root for you

Okay, So I have tried to do the SuperOneClick and Z4Root, and neither work for my Verizon branded Tab. Rather upset as I would LOVE to uninstall the bloatware. I don't really want root access for anything other than that, and maybe a little overclocking action. Any word on anything new for rooting the Tab? Even this thread that is only a couple of months old seems "out dated" due to any recent updates from Samsung and the carriers.
[Galaxy Tab General] Robin M:
I read that Z4Root would not work once Verizon's EC02 update is installed, so I used SuperOneClick after the update. I'll admit it's not as intuitive to use, but I searched this forum, found instructions for how to use it, and it worked OK for me.

[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
I think the new desire s is well exactly the same as the desire but with different design gingerbread and a new CPU which isn't even a dual-core. The processor is fast I know but with honeycomb for smartphone and the sgs 2 coming soon it will be unable to compete. I'm not sure about it... anyway least desire we will get some sense with gingerbread

EDIT: I've kind of changed my mind about this, I like the desire s it fixes everything wrong with the desire. It's not much of an update from the desire. It's not amazing, its not crap it just very very good.
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
It's the phone that's leaked so far already, if the specs are as similar to the stock Desire as they say I won't be bothered
[HTC Desire S] -A-P-M-:
Thats big dissapointment... last year HTC was the best with top hardware, but today even LG is able to do more powerful phones. Goodbye HTC.
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
This is only the spec on 1 phone, if the HD2 surfaces as thought it could be awesome
[HTC Desire S] Lothaen:
DS looks basically like a 'woops, yes the original desire's internal memory was a bit shocking so here's a fix for it, thanks for your cash' sort of release...

Yes they can push out a phone with single core etc. for now because by the time people actually _need_ a dual core will probably be another year - but the only thing the DS looks good for is to make people happy who don't want a big phone (i.e. DHD), and don't already have a Desire
[HTC Desire S] Pl4ub:
This phone is for new customers. Why you nerds need to upgrade like every month to new phone o.O I will be happy with my Desire for several years... Been using it now over 6 months...
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
^^ You come onto a forum for people wanting to talk about phones and hack them and yet you call us 'nerds' - what does that make you??

Just for that, you can have this:
[HTC Desire S] Zheiko:
You might be happy with phone like that for quiet a long time, but not everybody is like that, and to be honest, htc not anouncing a dualcore phone is BIG disapointment, coz HTC was already one of the tech leaders, delivering the latest solutions, and I still cannot believe, that HTC is dropping this completely, and taking the mainstream Facebook way instead, they will surely make loads of money on those facebook phones, but missing the top class highend might actually do some damage on reputation...
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
I'm thinking about a sgs 2 omfg
[HTC Desire S] Tysken91:
DS doesn't feel "new" at all, i was hoping for dual core :(
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
I know we should all complain to HTC
[HTC Desire S] Tysken91:
yes we should!
[HTC Desire S] godutch:
I'm entitled to a new phone in juli, my next phone certainly will be HTC with Android but i don't know if it will be the desire s, maybe I'll wait a bit for something better.
[HTC Desire S] Tysken91:
I would probably go for a Samsung Galaxy S2 or a Motorola Atrix
[HTC Desire S] Lothaen:
Something better will probably be along by then, just have to have patience and see what the market brings :)
[HTC Desire S] Lothaen:
Part of me wonders if this is an interesting approach - a sort of;

1) get more people on android with nice 'mid-range' CHEAPER android phones

2) wait to see what everyone else brings out

3) bring out something better

To be honest - I think it'll be another year before I upgrade... this year is going to be mayhem for phones and I can see everyone signing up for contracts left right and centre to get something awesome - then (as usual) something better comes along :)
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
When is the next phone event
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
There wasn't one when the DHD/Z were released...
[HTC Desire S] noxide:
This is a Desire S guys... not a Desire 2 !!
[HTC Desire S] itachi1706:
Did anyone say its a desire 2?
[HTC Desire S] chrismast:
Also thought about this approach, maybe they

1) wait till Apple launches the new iPhone

2) Apple gets attention

3) HTC launches the new device with better specs

4) HTC may get the attention

but ok, only time will show
[HTC Desire S] warlordxxx:
It's codenamed that way cos it's really the Desire (S)hould have had this amount of memory in the first place. Well t.b.h i'm just as dissapointed as most of you - my phones contract isn't up for another 16 months and although i'm happy with the desire now i was hoping to get a nice HTC upgrade next year but it looks like i'm just going to end up with a memory upgrade lol
[HTC Desire S] th3:
Fix a few things and update mainstream product -> Desire S. It was never their high-end. I can understand the POV of those dissatisfied, to a limit. Alas, that's business economics for ya, and that's all any of these firms care for - profits/market share. The masses buy whatever is fashion/new/hyped/thrown in their face. Very few of them know or care about underlying hardware specifications.

Personally, there's not a chance I'll keep a plus 3.8 inch display as my daily phone. So I definitely wanted this band to see further hardware improvements by March 2011.

odds are, this nov when my contract is up i'll go LG. optimux 2x, or the 3d one possibly. only if it's rooted though. no point otherwise
[HTC Desire S] bridgstfer:
Anyone heard is the Desire S battery willfit the Desire as it has 1450mah up from 1400mah and maybe slightly better materials/eprom?
[HTC Desire S] warlordxxx:
Just a thought - can't base this on anything just something that popped into my head - Maybe HTC are already working on the dual core versions (desire 2 maybe) the problem being the desires original chip is already fast and with speed comes heat so they would have to throw a lot of money at a cooling solution to make the phone the least bit stable. Now i haven't been face on with any of the dual core phones but if they are used similar to the way we use desires they have either sorted out the overheat problem already or there's going to be a lot of knackered overheated handsets very soon. Maybe HTC is waiting to get this correct before releasing rather than releasing a time bomb. Like i said just a thought :D
[HTC Desire S] Lothaen:
on the plus side - new roms? :)
[HTC Desire S] noland:
New Desires dual core problem: battery
[HTC Desire S] Lothaen:
I bet battery life is going to be a problem with a lot of dual cores actually...

compared to my old WM HTC Blackstone, and my Motorola beforehand - they would last around a week before needing another charge...

Smartphones of today including iStuff and Galaxy S/Desire included - I get 2 days at best out of them...

It'd be interesting to see if the Desire S has a good battery life compared to all the other's that come out - I can see a lot of people getting annoyed if they have to charge their phone every 1/2 a day
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
I don't care about battery life you could always underclock it to 700mhz and will still be fast because of a dual core
[HTC Desire S] cybermessiah:
The matter of the fact is that HTC are maintaining their exclusive contract with Qualacom... who arent going to be releasing a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon (MSM8x60) reportably until sometime around Q2 2011 and a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon (QSD8672) scheduled for Q42011.

So its logical that HTC arent going to be releasing any dual core devices until after that time.

The Desire S which is going into availability supposedly Q2 just couldn't have possibly been dual core in accordance to the HTC/Qualacom agreement.

I guess HTC are going to feel the waters with the competing new Tegra dual core devices and wait for Qualacom to surpass Nvidias dual-core performances.

My guess is that we wont see any dual-core HTC handsets until at least 3Q this year.

Meanwhile, I really like the look of the HTC INcredible S.... going into availability next month.
[HTC Desire S] roar109:
Just see the Apple strategy, each release of the iPhone just make adjustments to some specs, screen, more ram, one "awesome" funcionality like facetime, but still bee the same or almost the same smarthphone.

The Desire S will be a better than the original Desire but is baby footsteps, don't throw to market the better they have on a couple of month's.

I think HTC always innovate, so just wait and see what happen.
[HTC Desire S] Meaple:
HTC will release something pretty cool in Q2/3. I do wish that the specs for Desire S were in the original Desire but we got to start somewhere right?
[HTC Desire S] Digital1325:
I'll be using this as an opportunity to try out a new manufacturer. Most likely the SGS II to see what the fuss is all about with Sammy's screens. And then simply 'upgrade' to whatever beast of a dual core HTC finally releases. :)

As for the O2X... way too ugly of a phone, and plus the bezel sticking out around the front would annoy the **** out of me. Atrix is tempting, but not with an encrypted bootloader.
[HTC Desire S] svengalis:
So by the time they release a dual core phone nvidia will be close to releasing quad core phones on the market...
[HTC Desire S] mortuus82:
Looks like HTC will fall in 2011 with the competition from LG, Samsung and SE this is not good i expected a succesor to desire having a dual core at least and better screen :(
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
Qualcomm have a dual core , its in the HP touchpad, I think HTC are targeting the low and mid range devices and should have a new dual core soon anyway the incredible s looks cool so does this the only problem is it is not future proof like the atrix and sgs 2 its fine for the average user
[HTC Desire S] dhiral.v:
The thing is, Desire S is not the flagship for HTC, its just a successor to the Desire, so why bother putting a dual core in there mid end phone.

The HTC flagship: Desire HD only came out 3-4 months ago, so they can't exactly release a successor to it now, it would be way to soon. Just wait until Q2/Q3, I'm sure HTC will deliver.

Another point: look at sony ericsson, they released a gaming phone with a single core snapdragon, which is the same qualcomm QSD8255/adreno 205 gpu used in the desire s/hd, this can only mean a good thing since game developers will make games specifically for this chipset.
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
The processor is fine it is actually quite good the only problem in future versions of android support dual core and the desire s incredible s ect won't be supported
[HTC Desire S] njd:
Well, the latest reference phone is the single-core Nexus S, so I don't think the existence of dual-core handsets is going to mean single-core devices are unsupported.

Look, dual-core is going to dominate the high-end later this year, where manufacturers are competing with the latest Apple hardware, but there's always going to be room for single-core devices in the midrange and low-end.

The Desire S is little more than a mid-life refresh, so of course it's not much of an upgrade.

I'm still on a dumb-phone contract, but that expires in April about 9 days after the Desire S is available in the UK.

If I can then get the Desire S for free on a cheapish contract, I'll have one; but if it costs £100 or so up-front, then I'll just have the original Desire like I've been planning to do for the last 12 months.

[HTC Desire S] manny calavera:
The new Desire only features the "internal memory size fix" over the original. And probably the newer iteration of the same processor.

I think Desire 1.0 looks better, has an optical joystick thing that's occasionally quite useful, has an Amoled screen which I personally prefer. Oh, and I kinda like hardware buttons, but that's just another preference.

This is Desire 1.1, probably is cheaper to manufacture therefore more profitable. But if I were getting a new device, I would certainly take a good look at this one.
[HTC Desire S] Spinalonga:
Since the Desire last year was one of the first Android devices to really make a difference out there, in my opinion it was kind of an experiment for htc as well.

In pre-order it costs about 200-250euros less than Samsung Nexus S, Gallaxy S II and so on...

A leak of HTCs' Pyramid is out, and it is said to be a dual-core device with 4,3inches screen.

With Desire S I think they target for new buyers that would buy the Desire, and those of us that want to stay with the Desire, but are already tired of trying out 15 different ROMs, in order to find some more space for the growing-in-size apps, and make the scores in quadrant from 1300ish to 1700ish...

I personally will buy the Desire S, by selling my dear "old" Desire and throwing another 150 euros..., in order to stick with it for as long as it can...

When I feel the need for something more, there will be out there those Tablets, with 7-10" screens, dual-cores at 2GHz, 2GB RAM, with 2 touchscreens........ (I'm sure most of you must have seen the first one or two of those out there!)
[HTC Desire S] maxonite:
Engadget just reviewed the incredible s, and it reviewed very positive. It sounds like the new hardware and software combination is a winner.

The desire s is essentially the same so we expect the same performance but better battery life due to the slightly smaller screen.

I am currently using a legend but will upgrade to the desire s. I love unibody designs. Rock solid build quality.
[HTC Desire S] Komatoes:
I would be happy to change to the Desire S. It's a Desire, but better :p Better performance, and battery life. Maybe even the front facing camera will get used somethimes... :D I do think however that HTC will need to drop the price otherwise they won't compete with the dual core phones. It won't be long before HTC bring out a dual core themselves anyway. Current Desire owners can upgrade to that. I don't see what is wrong with improving one of the top rated phones of last year though.
[HTC Desire S] Lecxe:
i think a lot of you guys are being a little to harsh...i own a desire and at first, like you, was disapointed when i saw what desire S had to offer...then i realised in reallity its not ment to be an upgrade for old desire users...its ment for customers who today would buy a desire...offering them a more complete phone.

ps: I defenetly dont think the time is right for dual core on phones...for that there is tablets, a phone must be more handy/realiable and offer a decent autonomy.Plus..what the hell do you desperatly need a dual core for now?? lol XD
[HTC Desire S] jul644:
This is a more complete phone its completing the experience and this is HTC s mid rang phone so treat it as such

And people saying HTC is not pushing the envelope look at the evo 3d 1. 2 ghz dual core real 4g qhd 3d screen that's the benchmark for high end for a full year if not more just like the evo is now just being beat by the desire HD
[HTC Desire S] balqi:
Of course i'm going to buy DS...same specs with better unibody construction. Size is just perfect in hands
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
I've come to like this phone after reading a bit more about it I think it fixes everything wrong with my desire, better battery, better gpu/CPU, better design that I love, MORE INTERNAL STORAGE, gingerbread. I now think its a worthy upgrade bit my next phone will probably be the one that comes out at mwc next year :)

who knows if the screen is pentile matrix as the original desire?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
is it possible to rename this topic?

i think the Desire S is a good buy for those who don't have the original Desire(maybe even for those with the original Desire)

so i don't think it is disappointing as it has quite a few good advantages

just putting a dual core to increase processing power does not change things much right now as a dual core is currently not needed it may be needed a bit later for games but is not worth much IMO because of the extra battery it is gonna use & the heat generated

(only the price is a bit disappointing at the moment for me:D)
[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
Done :)

Having the Ol' Desire for 7 months, now I owned the Desire S...and I'm not disappointed a bit. It was worth getting.

Just tell me when if a single core Android phone can't make a phone call or send messages anymore...okay?
[HTC Desire S] fallenguru:
Strictly speaking that's not a reason, because both LCD- and OLED-based displays could be built using either a PenTile or full subpixel matrix. It's true that the PenTile plague has been confined to AMOLED displays for now, though.

Conversely, the HTC Legend, and supposedly also the Samsung Galaxy S2, feature an AMOLED display with a full subpixel matrix.

returned Desire S - WCDMA - Video Calls not working

as stated in the Headline, I've returned my Desire S today. WCDMA Video calls are not working with it. I use it since year on my old phone and now wanted to get a new one combining the PDA with the Videophone in one.

If you try to recieve a Video call you are directly disconnected. This is one of the oldest features in WCDMA and now you could get a nice smartphone incl. front camera and the messed it up.

Please don't come round with use this or that app. (Tango - Skype), the other person recieving the call has only a prepaid plan and an old 3G phone without any data, so it would not work.

So I need to look round again - maybe going for the new Samsung 9003

Cheers
