Buy HTC Desire S

Hi!
Who will buy the new HTC Desire S ?

I will not buy it because if it is not in the upgrade path for me and I got my Desire at the end of the last October, but I encourage everyone who will buy it because if we disregard all the puke people spill especially over in the Desire subforum, Desire S is a device of superb specification and if I wasn't under contract, I would be getting one myself.

I pre-ordered one, but I'm half regretting it in light of the recent Pyramid leak.

If I didn't already have the Desire hd I would.
--- I am geek. Hear me squeek. ---

I pre-ordered the Desire last year, and currently trying to sell it in order to pre-order the S...
I think it just fixes the little details in Desire that made all us looking for custom ROMs.
More space for apps (that is THE most important upgrade for me), a front camera so that we can make video-calls through skype..., HD video recording (though HTC could have gotten a 8MP cam), and a more solid body that our hands will enjoy (I am still mad about that back cap on Desire that doesn't fit EXACTLY as it should be...)

I don't have any smart-phone yet, and I'm nearly at the end of a 2-year no-data contract with a shiny-but-dumb Samsung, so I'm almost certainly getting one.
The main issues with the Desire are:
Memory's a little too small to install many apps.
Battery runs down too quickly
Overheating and reboots
Well the new device has more memory, more internal storage, and a 45nm CPU which should draw less power and be less prone to overheating, so that would appear to fix most of the problems.
I'm also drawn to the idea of built-in maps and some of the other Sense 2.1 goodies. And Gingerbread too.
The only thing that might change my mind is if the Desire S gets priced a little too close to the Incredible S and I have to pay an up-front cost (on the contracts I'm looking at, the Desire is free).

I would buy one - if the price is right...

it was released in India a few days back & is available in some shops (but not all)
i think the price was 25500 (not sure about this though)

Sold my ol' Desire last month. And now did get the DESIRE S.
It's worth it. from the build quality to camera, dimension..I must say it's a whole new phone.

I really want this phone. I will get it when a NAM version is available. I hope TELUS or bell will pick this up. A perfect phone to replace my nexus one.

i guess that is true as the Desire S has a adreno 205 GPU & the processor is 45nm fabricated
& the original Desire has a adreno 200 GPU & the processor is 65nm fabricated
so the Desire S is faster GPU,less power hungry & also produces less heat
the Desire S also has better 3G capabilities,more ram,more rom,better camera (even though both are 5 MP),a front facing camera,a slightly better battery
the desire S also does not have any axis swapping bug like the original Desire & supports multi-touch with at than 2 separate points
so hardware wise its much better than the original Desire(i guess its better software wise too but i don't have the device yet so cant say )

ur rite kartkk.Desire S was released last week in india.But rite now it is not available in market.Only Flipkart selling it on preorder at 23,749/- bucks

I just did. Sold my HTC Desire for 300€ (433$) to a friend today and ordered a simlock-free and branding-free HTC Desire S muted black for 430€ (621$) online.
I am gonna miss the real hardware buttons (for waking up the device using lockBot pro), but I think I will not be disappointed. And the black color rulez! Hated that brownish ugly bronze of the Desire.

suggest me android smart phone

i got 3 option
HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S
Google Nuxes S
i am from pakitan so the price for desire is 42K, Nuxes S for 44K and Incredible S is available for 46K
please suggest me, which cell should i buy.

The incredible S without doubt.
It is larger than the Desire (similar size to Desire HD). The Desire is just "old" compared to the other two and the Nexus S is a Samsung and I don't like Samsung phones (hardware and software, the former you can't do much about).

It depends really. Is this your first android phone?
One thing you might take for granted for example is that it will display Arabic characters but it doesn't. It is the top problem on Google's issue tracker at the moment but I have no idea of when they'll fix it. It is possible to get browsers such as opera that can display the characters correctly though.
On another point the Nexus S is a pure Android phone and as such is quite bare compared to HTCs. I have one myself but I did miss the selection of widgets that HTCs come with by default such as the mobile network on / off one. The last time that I looked none of the ones in the market worked on gingerbread.
If you're a new user I'd probably suggest the Incredible and perhaps something in the Nexus line for your next phone after that

thanks baz & jmm
yes this is my first android phone but i don't need Arabic support coz i can use set in english. so u guys suggesting me HTC Incredible S....

Absolutely, no question, HTC Incredible S.

Incredible S!

well HTC now is one of most popular brand, i think same like the others,HTC Incredible S

I would buy the Nexus S in a heartbeat, It would be the best of them. It is Google's version of the iPhone in quality and superior hardware. Those others don't really compare to it. The Nexus S is the only one with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The other two are still on 2.1 or 2.2. And the Nexus S is the only one to have a genuine gyro.

@MartyLK
thanks for reply
dude if u r just talking about OS then incridable S is also getting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June so no big deal for me to use 2-3 months old os there is difference of FM radio, camera and sound ......
and incredible S also getting Sense UI 3.0 with Gingerbread

I would buy Incerdible S absolutly

thanks guys.....
i just unboxed my Incredible S.....

Incredible S for sure !!!!!!!!

Why the incredible s but not the desire s?? They are very similiar!! The community is too small for the DS...

I find it to be the most overrated phone out there.
Good, maybe great, but nothing amazing.

+1 for the Incredible S
I love HTC and I'm a big fan of Sense as well (assuming that you root the phone and run sense 3.0 or a 2.1/3.0 mix)

Newbie, Thinking of buying a Desire S

Hi, Im thinking of getting a Desire S as my next phone. Im not exactly new to this as i had a regular Desire for about 18 months which i rooted, s-off and installed many customs roms.
I was looking for a upgrade and bought a Sensation a few weeks ago but its not for me as i find the phone abit too big. Even though its really fast, I dont find it comfortable to use.
The only phones that i can see that are similar size to the original desire is LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix or Desire S. But as I want Sense, the Desire S is only the option. Even though it is not dual core, it should be much quicker than a Desire as;
- Has 50% more RAM. 768MB compared to 512​- 1GB internal memory so no need for A2SD which should make things faster​- Processor, even though its a 1GHZ i believe it can be overclocked to over 1.8GHZ and at a safe 1.4GHZ. Is this correct?​
In terms of ROMS, the Desire S has got a large collection.
Anything else that i have missed out or need to know?
Thanks

Hi, please tell me where did you find it ?
This configuration is awesome.

From what you've written there, you already know the answer as to which phone you should be getting. If you are lookin for something th same size as the Desire S then there is no real competition as faras I'm concerned - not just for design and specifications, but also for ROMs, development and user forum support on XDA
As the Nike adverts say "Just Do It!!"

Thanks guys, am I correct regarding the overclock statement I've made?

Hi.
If You are not bothered with not having the latest tech, then I would say Desire S is a good choice.
So far android experience is great on it, haven't found any real reason to go with multi core just yet.
Things You'll like - alloy unibody, size, battery life (depending on rom and useage), overall speed, quite decent main camera + front cam (skype works very well), price (I wouldn't sign for a long contract on it though).
Cons - well... battery life (still, ain't bad but more energy efficient devices are going to be in sale soon)
Good luck.

You are correct with all statements
The Desire S also has better battery life than the original, thanks to its larger capacity, and the more optimized 2nd gen CPU (which is very good for OC'ing)

I have my ds for 6 months now, and im very happy with iti had the same problem like you (the sensation was to big)
I had the choice between samsung galaxy s and desire s, and i have choosen the ds because of sense too
Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk

Decision made, desire s it is. Just need to put my sensation on eBay now.
Also noticed that sensation xl has the same CPU as the desire s which is clocked to 1.5ghz.

I think there is a thread on here somewhere about the CPU being the same as the one in the Sensation, and i think that though it is the same model number the one in the Sensation it is a later generation model so it is designed differantly and runs at a higher speed.
The only other thing i would say is perhaps wait a month or so and see what new models HTC announce. it could be that the Desire S gets upgraded similar to the move from Desire to Desire S.
Edit heres link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459911

There is a HTC primo coming out in a few months but that only has 512mb RAM.

Yup, you missed something huge. THE MWC IS COMING IN LESS THAN A MONTH !!!!!! The Desire S was revealed at MWC last year. Surely, something waaaaaay better will show up this year. I LOVE my desire s, but i won't reccomend you to buy it at this time.
The Galaxy S Advance has been announced, it's roughly the same size as the Desire S (4.0 inch screen), similar price but has much better hardware (Dual core 1 Ghz CPU, Super Amoled Screen). HTC must compete with this, so somthing big (with sense ) will come at MWC. TRUST ME. Even if you don't like what comes, you can buy the Desire S later, it's not like HTC is gonna stop supplies

Sadly, as much as I love my Desire S too, I can only agree with Shrome.
Unless you aren't too bothered about having the latest and greatest, and aren't a tech-head, this phone is recommended and will serve you well for basic smartphone tasks.

I'm sure the Desire S will serve for a lot more than just basic tasks. I know synthetic benchmarks are not a lot to go by, but considering the stock Galaxy Nexus gets 32 fps in Nenamark 2 and my Desire S gets 27 fps (without any overclock), it's somewhat reassuring and makes me believe the Desire S still has a bit of kick remaining.

I believe the HTC Primo will be the replacement for the Desire S but it only has 512MB RAM.
Also, i presume the phone will be launched towards summer time and have a price of £300? Whereas the Desire S is available on ebay now for roughly half that price.

Although the leaked specs say 512mb, I highly doubt the device would come like that.
HTC wouldn't downgrade the succesor.
Leaked specs aren't always true you know
The HD2 original leak said it has 384mb RAM. But it ended up having 448mb (576mb actually, if you unlock the hidden RAM)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

You can't be sure of any of those things( except the price, maybe). The leaks are HIGHLY unreliable. I'm 99% sure it won't have lower RAM than the Desire S if it's a successor. For all you know, it may be a succesor to Wildfire S, cost waaaay less, and the Desire S may have a different succesor entirely

Hmmm, not sure now.
When will the official release be of these phones? And when they become available, are we talking weeks/months?

325i Please see my response to your other thread about coming from the old Desire. I just edited it. Noticed a worrying trend on the recent Amazon reviews.
Regarding new phones releases, it depends. If the manufacturers have any sense, they'll have the product ready to swing into the shops riding on the hype-wave from MWC. Others may want to hang back and see how their product is received before committing to getting x amount of them made.
For the first time I'm not 100% about sticking with HTC for my next phone. I just don't trust their reliability and after sales support so much any more. I buy my phones outright SIM-free and unlocked so I can't really afford to make a bad decision.
Problem is looking around at alternatives I don't yet see anything tempting, baring in mind I don't like whopping screens and not too fussed about multi-core devices. I mean if the Xperia Arc S was slightly smaller and had a front-facing camera I'd probably already be saving up for it.
The Sony (minus the Ericsson) Xperia S is just far far far too big. OK 12MP camera but I bet it still blurs if taking a moving shot. Plus is it me, or have the designers copped out? A formless, plain rectangle of a phone like SGS2. Doesn't look comfortable at all to hold, and doesn't hold a candle to the Desire S in terms of looks.
Only thing I'm certain of is I wont be selling my DS. I'll keep it around so I can stay in this section of XDA and carry on with testing and support.

yeah the desire s overclocks very well indeed.mine will run at 1.5ghz stable. its definatly a much more capable phone than the original desire and as you say there arnt many other phones that match the form you are looking for.
we also have the best section on xda with a huge selection of roms.cant go wrong really.BUY ONE!

Think ill go for the Desire S.
I also buy my phones sim free, usually slightly used ones off ebay. Ive decided to get a Desire S, if i newer/better HTC comes out, i can always put the Desire S back on ebay.

What will be the next phone with most development?

Which phone do you predict will have the most support?
I predict it will be the Galaxy S3, for the time being, Galaxy Nexus is the most supported phone from a development perspective.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

the HTC tegra 3 Device i suppose

From what I have experienced with my previous Tegra 2 phone is that NVidia are not open source which means they don't give out their source making it harder to develop.
Don't get me wrong though, Tegra is super powerful but developments wise, not so sure.
For these reasons I will say that Samsung might get more development support in 2012.

Absolutely right! HD2 is the most supported phone ever with 5 different platforms (windows mobile, windows phone, android, ubuntu and meego). So u say galaxy nexus? Are you crazy
I also had it and sold it to buy a sensation. It made me taste all these different os' with only one phone. Absolutely the best phone ever.. Thanks HTC and XDA

Excluding the HD2, I'd go for the GS3. The Galaxy Nexus will be well supported too.

Yeap, assuming that Samsung keeps innovating and assuming that they use their own processor and keep releasing their code source which btw, it is most likely a yes to all of the above , I think it will be the next big phone for development and consumers.
Samsung reputation in the mobile world went really high in 2011 and for what I have seen HTC and other companies could see themselves losing a lot of loyal customer if they don't step up their game.
Anyway, I don't deny the fact that the HD2 had been and still is one of the most supported devices but I am also stating that the Galaxy Nexus has the most active development going on at the moment.

Samsung Galaxy Note
For the following reasons:
Decent spec.
screen real-estate.
it's Samsung.
the kind of person who is going to buy that kind of hardware is likely to be passionate about it and probably going to want to make the best out of it (e.g.: Devs)
just my 0.02$.

I was not aware the HD2 had so much support, but it's pretty much guaranteed that the Galaxy Nexus is and will be a safe bet. That said, I had the GN 16Gb, and I was not impressed with the hardware, at least from a cost standpoint. I switched back to the Sensation, half the price for very similar specs.

The Galaxy Nexus does seem like a safe bet though, what with the whole flagship status and all.

Advantages over Desire S
1) Actually, the One V has a better screen than us.
Ours is SLCD, this is SLCD2.
According to Paul obrien, it is so amazing, it makes his Galaxy Nexus look 10 years old!
Bloody hell, that says a lot!
2) it also has a better camera, it has a wider lens..
3) larger battery - 1500mah compared to our 1450mah.
Although, the SLCD2 May drain more battery

Yeah, I think this is meant to be the successor to the Legend/Wildfire S.
It has near the same specs as us. This is considered a low-end phone. It will be priced around the same margin as the current Wildfire S. This means our phone is now low-end!!
Can you imagine, when the DHD was released, it was a top of thre range high end phone - ann android lovers dream, but now the specs of the DHD are in a low end phone!
IMO, it looks like a sexy device!

This appears to be an error from GSMArena as specs from htc's own website for One V show Sense 4.0 on it http://www.htc.com/au/smartphones/htc-one-v/#specs
It also shows that the phone does have a microSD expansion slot as read reader comments from a review site being critical of the phone for not having one

Yes, its still Sense 4 but with less animations (imo not a bad thing).
From what Ive seen on the videos so far, the cube animation when switching homescreens and the new coverflow taskmanager("recent apps") are missing.

As said before, its very similar to our DS, i dont see a reason to upgrade (i will wait one more year).
it have some specs that are a little better (screen, camera), but other are worth (storage, ram, size,battery).
but we can port roms, and get better support for next year
about the new task manager, i liked it, sad it is missing

we have more ram. if we get kernel 3.0 then i say desire s is much better then this one.

What none of you seem to have noticed... is that the One V doesn't have a front facing camera! No 3G video calling on your One V sir!
Also, HTC seems to have dropped the Search key from the entire lineup of the "One" series phones (only three buttons now)... One of the reasons i like my phone is because of that damn button.. it's just too frigging convenient!
So the DS still kicks its ass.
But seriously... is HTC nuts? No front camera? Who does that in today's world man?!

Thanks dan. But i think he just got the resolution part wrong, not the device. (wouldn't want to upgrade to a device without a front camera...)
No front camera then (One V)... so again, driver issues with that one (will have to kang it over from elsewhere).
And if he was talking about the One V, it is hardly worth considering as your next device. We have much more going for the DS... as i posted above. If considering an upgrade, at least think of the One S, or the One X (if you manage to rob a bank!!)

I meant that a direct port of the One V will be way easier than from the other models, due to the hardware similarity (apart from the non-existing FFC).
The One S went to the top of my to buy list, somewhere down the road.

I meant that a direct port of the One V will be way easier than from the other models, due to the hardware similarity (apart from the non-existing FFC).
The One S went to the top of my to buy list, somewhere down the road.

Ahhh, there you go. Confusion cleared.
I'll wait till i can afford the One X though. Might as well splurge on the flagship (don't have any spare cash left anyway, after recently acquiring the Canon 550D, plus a new DS for the wife)

Thanks dan. But i think he just got the resolution part wrong, not the device. (wouldn't want to upgrade to a device without a front camera...)
No front camera then (One V)... so again, driver issues with that one (will have to kang it over from elsewhere).
And if he was talking about the One V, it is hardly worth considering as your next device. We have much more going for the DS... as i posted above. If considering an upgrade, at least think of the One S, or the One X (if you manage to rob a bank!!)

No, we both were talking about One S.
Are you kidding me, how can you even think that One V will be on top of mine and lowveld's list. *SHOCKING*

Read the post carefully.
The confusion was regarding the screen resolution on the One S.
I do not know you well enough to gauge your taste in devices, so cool it.
