Desire S vs Incredible S - HTC Desire S

hey,
i am stuck between desire S and incredible S.
i absolutely love desire s unibody design, and i dont really care about the wifi prob (besides there is some kind of fix to it as well), only concerns are ... the build quality: lots of ppl are talking about loose battery covers and screen not fitting in place lol, also the camera seems pretty lame...but the form factor/ screen size- perfect !
but incredible S... seems to have more developers to get the root (tho i think it will be ported to desire s as well afterwards... yea ?), but its only got froyo, not gingerbread, and its a bit too large, and not so darn beautiful >.<
and hows the music quality through the headphones (good stereo ? bass ?) and loudspeaker (no distortion ? loud ?) ?
only drawback- the bootloader on these phones and sense UI... would love CM 7 possibility
thanks in advance

Build quality problems are only appearing in certain locations eg. the uk seems fine and i would expect a exchange under warranty if there were any problems i personally dont find that a concern.
Lack of dev actvity seems a concern i dont know why this doesnt seem like a popular phone but i like it as it has the perfect screen size for me.

Will echo comments made by user above.
Had the phone for a month now and love it. I prefer the size of desire s.
Looks like finding a local un locking shop who have an xtc clip or sending phone away will be quickest and cheapest route to getting s-off and therefore root.

well... i dont mind too much about root thing.. except for uninstalling some stuff, i can always put on adw instead of sense .. as long as it runs smooth im fine.
but now im still leaning towards incredible S a bit more imo... the more i look at it the cooler it looks xD
tho i see ppl telling IS reboots often, and it also has froyo..
but then again DS is gingerbread, but people are talking about bad build quality.. hate to see such complaints on a unibody design. also the wifi prob is alteast some of a concern.
edit; the size doesnt seem to be THAT much larger on the IS.. so i really dont know now
grrrrr i hate choosing >.<

Some IS seems to have backlighting problem with the fancy rotating buttons.

Are you sure that thats not simply linked to the same software issue that the DS has with its own buttons lighting/not lighting, which is caused by the ambient light levels detection controlling when the buttons are lit?

no thats not it, IS button backlight is just lame, its a HW prob and every IS has it. why the hell would 1 button out of 4 be brighter than others according to the ambient light sensor xDD ?

well i didnt see this as a major issue, have to check it my self really. thanks for the help
but i think im going with desire s. hear IS also has some creaks in the chassi so.. its even there and longer batt life= better

Good call, but, then I would say that being the owner of one myself!
Although the battery case does click slightly when pressed hard, but then again what doesn't

Love the DS to bits. Some says it's not a worthy upgrade to old Desire. But for me it's head over heels better.
But, if IS has unibody it could have been a dif'rent story.

Desire S has better battery life... But it suffers from the qaueaky back cover!
The Inc. has SRS though, desire doesnt (software only) The Inc. has gingerbreag now

about some error in the body, i think not all the desire S will have that problem, an if u have that problem, lets say in 3 months you still have warranty right?

Goodbye Xda Orbit 2

Well After Spending About 4 Weeks With An Xda Orbit 2 Its Goodbye From Me.
A Brilliant Device In Many Ways But .and Its A Big But
You Cant Read The Bloody Thing Outside...terrible Just Bloody Awful
So Im Quitting Touch Screen Phones As Ive Tried Other Ones And They Are As Bad Or Even Worse.
So Its Back To Good Old Nokia N95 8gb For Me So Ill Say Thanks For Your Support While Ive Been On Here.
Shame Really I Really Like The Look Of The Htc Touch Diamond.....but I Fear It Will Be Exactly The Same When Operated Outside....utterly Useless..
Bye
I hear what you're saying - I had a problem with my (now defunct) MDA Vario - I installed Tom Tom 6 on it but it was totally useless as you couldn't see the damn thing if there was even a hint of sun coming into the car. Utterly useless.
Know what you mean. It is a backlight problem.
There is a fix here in this thread:

hi and thanks for your reply
i fear that it is not the backlight problem. i had my backlight on at the highest level and it still was unreadable. its a shame cause i really like the phone. miss touch phones already but i just could not deal with staring at a blank smudged screen.....im holding out for the htc touch to save me form going back to nokia n95 8gb...using an old nokia 3310 at the moment
cheers dave
I've been playing with my new LG KS20 today and the difference in screen brightness is incredible.
I don't agree with the statement about seeing the screen outside. I used to have the backlight on low to save battery power and yes, it was difficult tro read outside. Now I have it on about 3/4 and it's absolutely fine - even on really bright days like today. I haven't noticed any dent in the battery life either.
Oh And By The Way, I Like To Type In Title Case Too.
the problem is yours I have two friends both on orbits and they are very happy with them no problems OK they run the backlight on NORMAL because thats how they are supposed to be used, but if your draining the battery by playing silly games / music thats your problem

First 2 Days with the Sensation

Got my Sensation 2 days ago, and after the amount of *****ing I read on this forum I was a bit worried...
So here is my verdict:
The good:
- Camera issues (crashed on pic): NOPE
- Screen responsiveness issues: NOPE
- WiFi issues: NOPE
- Lag: NOPE, stop *****ing, this is more responsive than a Desire
- Great keyboard, I love the multi-language suggest
The bad:
- Reception is AWFUL. The Desire wins hands down. Nothing to do with death grip either, on the same network with Speed Test the Desire scores are double, seriously!
- The screen is a fingerprint attractor. How you do you guys clean the screen? Anyone using some antistatic coating? Can you recommend one?
I come from a Desire, compared to that this phone feels a lot better. Seriously.
To the people that said it doesn't feel like much of an update compared to the Desire: I really don't get you.

I've tried a lot of different things to clean the screen on my sensation and I've come to the conclusion that you can use a t shirt, a blanket, a napkin, a towel ect. Seriously this is the easiest screen on a touch screen phone to clean. A free rubs on my sleeve and its spotless. And with the gorilla glass you don't have to worry about scratching it. Enjoy your sensation

Wash your hands once in a while jeez......... j/k
I have the AUO screen (screen manufacturer makes no difference in the gorilla glass btw) and mine is definately succeptable to fingerprints, but they are easier to wipe off than they are to acquire.
Glad to see more threads with people actually singing the phones praises and saying that not everyone suffers from these issues. So many people report problems, but very few report when everything goes fine. So as we all know this means anyone coming into the forum just sees lots of issues, it's easy to forget that it's only a few people sufering from these, and only the ones suffering seem to add to the threads that have been opened anyway.
Thanks for the good news
Coming from the dell streak, I have to say I love this phone, it is way better than the streak. Mind u if the streak had sense 3.0, then I might have a different opinion LOL.
Ok the reception has issues (random ones) but that's not that big a problem,
Love the HTC widgets, its great to see manufacturers like to have a polished interface that is very useable straight out the box. That said would be even better if they could be re-sizeable. (couldnt believe how bad stage was) its great you don't have to down load apps to get the phone the way u want it, just wish I could get a refund now on those paid ones lol
Before mine arrived I had picked up on some of the negative posts and was a bit concerned, but everything works perfect. HTC put this in a 5 incher n I'll buy one 2morrow as I miss the steaks real estate but size isn't everything lol.

sure no problem you will be ok just handle the phone with care the back piece is fragile very, try not to drop the back cover or you will loose your volume rocker or the power button and remember to slide it in and out the back cover head first thats what he meant about build quality i think

THIS IS THE WORST, MOST SHODDILY CONSTRUCTED PHONE THAT COULD EVER EXIST (Not)
The "build quality" of the phone is fine. There are a few problems associated with being early adopters, that a small fraction of people on XDA have. As far as I know, everyone with major issues had them resolved by returning their phone, in store and getting it replaced on the spot.
There are different displays one bye AUO and one made by Sharp, if you're having trouble and prefer either display you can go in-store and exchange it, after telling them the issues you're having with your phone.
Furthermore many of the so called "issues" with build quality are BS manufactured by XDA-ers. Like:
"If I turn of my screen and hold it at a 45 degree angle while shining a flashlight at it I can see a spec of dust under the screen, I'm really really worried ='("
or my personal favorite:
"When I press down on the buttons on the bottom of my screen I hear a slight creaking sound WTF HTC!?!?"
My personal second favorite is THE LAGGY SENSE ISSUE, which essentially goes like this :
"I saw a video on youtube and the HTC EVO 3D runs the HTC Sense homescreen carousel milliseconds faster and smoother than the HTC Sensation, WTF HTC !!! IS THIS WHAT WE'RE PAYING FOR!?!?!?"
- I would like to note that this issue only came into existence after said video made its way to the forums and someone decided that it was an "issue" that a slightly newer phone, with slightly better hardware and a slightly more optimized ROM, ran sense 3.0 slightly better than our phones do at the moment.
- They aren't buttons... this is a touch screen phone and just because they look like buttons doesn't mean that they should be pressed like buttons.
- Wifi-Signal attenuation while holding the phone, in landscape, a particular way IS real, but only if you are far away from your router. ALL phones experience signal attenuation when all or parts of the radios are covered, our phones do not lost Cellular data signal when held in landscape as has been erroneously reported in some places.
Now I will tell you about my experiences with the phone. Both cameras perform poorly in low light conditions and other than that it's a beast of a phone. Absolutely phenomenal.Strangely enough, I don't hear many people talking about this, actual issue where the phone is not performing as one might realistically expect it to perform.
I got my device on launch day and haven't had one "issue" yet. I have seen and others have noted that some dust can get inside of the phone's case, near the headphone jack. I would consider this another NON-issue as it has not been shown to cause any issues. Furthermore dust frequently gets inside of electronics, that's why the good lord above invented compressed air. Some XDA-ers inhale it then try to find issues with their devices, I will use it to clean my phone in a few months, the same way that I do to my desktop PC or the way my little brother does to his gaming consoles.
It's a terrible phone if you only use it at 45 degree angles, in the dark, while shining a flashlight on it, with the display turned off as you press extra hard on the touchscreen (because YOU believe they are buttons to be pressed and not a screen to be touched), using your phone a mile away from your home router, in landscape while completely covering the top of the phone and watching videos of HTC EVO 3D's performing slightly better and getting jealous.
If you use your phone like a normal end-user or even a power user and NOT a beta tester in a laboratory setting then the phone is amazing.
I rest my case.
Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated.

You should look into getting the mytouch 4g slide it comes out July 27th it has pretty much the same specs but you won't have to give up your physical keyboard and it can handle T-Mobile HSPA+

I am not sure what these guys are referring to as having questionable build quality. If anything that would apply to the G2 and that was my last phone...well, right before the G2x horror.
You should be quite happy with the Sensation, if you have nothing against HTC Sense, as it is a very good device. Very good. I am certain it will be bested in some way by another high end Android phone in a few months, or weeks (there's always something new) but I am flat out thrilled to be using one right now.

Having had HTC HERO and A HTD HD7 I was more of inclined to go for the SENSATION,
But after hovering around both threads decided for the GAlaxy s2 due to better back camera and front camera(2mp) and also for the fact that it came with bootloader unlocked
ANd I guess that was the best decision I made cause of one more reason being....
You can flash the latest firmwares on samsung Devices with ODIN without the NEED TO ROOT which I think is really cool.
I am already on a leaked version of 2.3.4 running beautifully with gtalk video working really great and have not even rooted my phone yet
Just my thoughts.........

Anything i need to know?

Hey, I just bought this phone, I can't wait for it to arrive, but i just wanted to ask is there anything i need to know?? Any bad issues with this phone? I am going to root and install a custom rom at some point in the near future (if i get round to it).
I'm so excited at this phone is a huge upgrade for me... my last phone was the LG GT540
No issuses with phone othe than speaker not loud as my old phone which I's due to 2.3 which can be fixed once you flash.a custom rom don't keep it stock flash and enjoy cause there's some.really good roms out there that help battery last longer and make the phone prettier to look at. I like coredroid roms but theres also nice rooms that don't use sense ui which was nice to just youtube stuff.

Bluetooth sucks. Its a design flaw, don't expect good bt performance with this phone. Other than that its great.
For me, and I've heard from others, there is really only 2 things that bother me.
1.) My phone squeaks when you squeeze the bottom part, no idea why.. it's 100% brand new few days old.
2.) When unlocking by moving the ring up, I usually have to touch and drag it 3 times or so until it finally moves...
Otherwise the phone is awesome! The battery can get very hot while gaming though, you can really feel it, I rooted my phone, and it's overclocked so when I play a game for 10+ mins it gets so hot it almost feels like im touching a metal pole that has been in 100 degree heat for an hour.
Please hit thanks if I helped you! Just takes a click

It'll always happen as the case is separate from the phone itself. Mine creaks but I really couldn't care less
Mine doesn't creak nearly as much as it used to. So far I have no problems. I did notice the smallest amount of dust particles under the screen but it's literally almost impossible to see. However some people have posted some truly terrible pictures on here showing a crazy amount of dust.
This really is a superb phone.

First off, this is a good phone. But, unfortunately there is a couple of things wrong with it
I have come in direct contact with 5 different Sensations. Here's my experiences:
1. One of them had dust under the screen - I believe this is not an issue with new Sensations.
2. Two had a lousy power button - It becomes too soft and hard to press on some models. Lousy build quality there.
3. Two had the touchscreen issue - This is a serious one, but we have it fixed here on XDA... For the most part. Again, build quality?
4. Three creaked when pressed - My 5 year old nokia felt better under pressure. This is fixable with a larger battery.
5. Screens varied significantly - Don't know which screen I'd pick... Some had better viewing angles, some better contrast, or sharpness, or whatever...
6. Sense lagged more than I'd like on all of them - Maybe I want the impossible? No lag on my 1.5Ghz while scrolling through home screens? :|
7. WiFi death grip - I can live with this one.
I probably went into more detail than I should... Sorry
It's a good phone for the most part. I just expected way more from HTC (and for my money) and now I'm a bit disappointed...

Hell yeah.

So..
Today I got a letter, saying after the a mount of repairs you have had, you will know get a white samsung galaxy s2 in exchange for only 25 $ !!!!
So therefor I am saying goodbye to HTC sensation

First, i'ts the lack of support for the sensation. Power button issue, never really fixed? Battery problem is STILL there. Not as fast as a SG2. Also the build quality is nice, but doesn't hold long. The volume button is very loose, and some byers have experenced that it will fall off. Also there is that "crack" sound, when you push the buttom of the sensation. The sound of somthing not fitting. Also the audio problem, when recording.
Hope you like your galaxy. me, I like my sensation and wouldn't trade for a galaxy unless it came with a hot blonde or a helper monkey
When i saw the title of the thread i thought you were happy about something!!! /s

Lack of support ! ? Lol, you will see the lack of support with SGSII.. Power button issue - solved (with kernel ofcourse). Battery problem - solved with firmware.. Not as fast as SGSII? Its faster with custom rom ofcourse. Volume button is loose ? Not on my sensation.. Crack sound ? Yes, but when u take off back cover and put it back for like 5 times, you dont get it anymore..
Whatsoever, there were alot of threads with this theme (Sensation vs SGSII or goodbye Sensation etc...), and it always turns into bad argue between 2 sides (often without arguments from each side)..
You dont like Sensation, i do .. You like SGSII, i dont..
And, one more thing, i dont undestand the point of this thread..

I have a sensation and just because of the freaking dust underneath my screen I'd wanna trade ir for the GSII in a heart beat, II think it's a BIIIIIG flaw otherwise the sensation is prettier and firm.
I love its aluminum.
GS2 looks horrible with its bigger screen and lower resolution.

This.
Had my sensation for about 3-4 months with no issues and then one morning: POOF, dust under the screen. Still waiting for it from HTC, taking like 2 weeks now and I had to buy another phone to get me by until they send it back. The sensation has terrible build quality. The materials used aren't bad, but the way the phone is put together is stupid (battery cover design is horrible).
I just did the opposite because got two gs2 with bad headphone jack hope you have better luck love my sensation

Ill be the guys who says congratulations.
I have both of these devices and to me at least the Sensation is an overrated brick.. and even though the screen res is lesser on a bigger screen when i look at the sensation next to the SGS 2 the sensation looks gross and washed out.. SAMOLED + is a good thing..
And i know alot of you seem to think because the Sensation is made of Aluminum it makes it a better build quality... But i think your very wrong.. Yes the SGS 2 is Plastic but thats not a bad thing. Its very strong and its incredibly light. The Sensation would pull your pants down if your belt came loose its so heavy.. and amazing how with that superior build quality how everyone who has one seems to get dust under the glass...
And I know that they have the same chipset, but honestly the Sensation compared to my SGS II in fluidity and smoothness during use the Sensation just is a big fat looser.. I tried to play ShadowGun on both and the Sensation was very choppy and for whatever reason just could do it as nice as the SGSG 2 which plays SG smooth as butter..
Funny because I just posted about how much problems my wife has had with the Sensation she wants her OG G2 back LMAO..
So to each his own but dont bust on the guy for getting what i believe is a superior device to what your using..
