Hi all,
I recently got an HTC DESIRE S and installed miui 2.4.20 on it.
I am getting the wifi grip of death problem when I touch the back of the phone.
I tried finding a fix online but I am not sure what would work on my rom...my understanding is that this can be fixed softwarewise.
I would be grateful if someone could link here a fix to flash through CWM or some solution in order to fix this.
Thanks in advance
Grip of Death
You could try this fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051674
Or maybe experiment with some new radios?
Btw, try avoiding landscape mode,
that when your phone is most sensitiv to "the grip"
Thanks...but which of the two files should i.flash on my rom?
When i check about phone i dont see those numbers there

Would appreciate the help

Hi again! - Didn't see your question.
Well, I'm actually on MIUI 2.4.20, UK version right now myself
I don't have any problems with the wifi.
Maybe I'll get a drop if I really try to cover the entire top half of the phone...
btw, what case do you use, if any?
Edit: I take it you did a full wipe etc. before flashing miui? (coming from ...sense?)
Hi..thanks for response. Yeah did full wipe and flashed after....

hi everybody,
i just downloaded and installed the axiom s 1.8.0 rom for the htc one s with the s4. it works good, i like it. however, it only says 2g and its soo slow downloading (if it all). i looked around and couldnt really find anything about this for this particular rom (the dev thread is really long and search didnt really help). if you can help me get 4g back, i would appreciate it.
thanks!

I've tried the official tmobile radio, one of the old Europe radioas and the new 4.0.4 radio, they all worked fine for me. 4.0.4 being the best.
Try wiping and flashing again, make SURE you wipe System, and factory reset. Heck, do it twice just to make sure.
I don't think anyone else is having problems.

I got it to work. I took out the sim card for a few seconds and put it back in and next time i was out in the open it said 4g. Thanks for the help though, much appreciated.
In past I had the Insertcoin rom, in the beginning it seemd ok, but then suddenly my phone reseted sometimes, I also have it with the recent OrDroid 9.0.0.
When taking a picture it sometimes resets or cannot do anything more. Anyone had the same problem or knows the solution ?
I work with the latest Radio_11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M and also one of the latest firmwares.
Could this be because of the radio, and if the case : which stable recent radio(s) are recommended ?
You can try several generic ics radio/ril files and see what works best for you. Radios are difficult to recommend because we all live in different areas and what works for me might not work at all for you. So you will have to do some experimenting on your own to see which is best for your area! The generic ics radio/ril files are a good place to start . I hope this helps you out and I wish you the best! Good luck to you. I'm sure you will find a good radio/ril combo for your area!

Thanks, I just flashed that lightning rom and the same unexpected resets.
I'll check where I can find the radio roms for my Sensation.
If it's not the radio, it will probably be the firmware... or maybe the kernel??? I used the bricked kernel, maybe i'll try the faux or the other.

Hi Folks!
I've just installed this ROM (first time I do stuff like this...I may be an IT guy but I am an absolute NOOB on android ROMs world)
Reaper V4.0 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433816
I wanted to post my question on that thread but I could not because this is my first post so I hope you can help me here
So I´ve installed that ROM, I am not sure if I like it yet but there is something absolutely important not working and if I cannot fix it I doubt I will ever find out if I like it.....I just cannot connect to my home wireless network!
Basically when I see the list of networks available I see all my neighbours networks but not mine! And I've been connecting to it normally until 1 hour ago when I had my htc Desire S with its original OS.
Do you guys have any idea why I could possibly see other networks but not mine?
Thank you all in advance for reading!
Cheers
U could try a few things, clearing the phone's cache and dalvik in recovery.
Or you could try fiddling with your router, a reset might do the trick.

I reset the router but did not help. It should not be related to the router anyway...
I wiped cache and dalvik cache also but did not help
I am seriously considering replacing this ROM immediately with another one...It's useless like this (I've also googled and found no relevant content that could help).
My htc Desire S is still S-ON but unlocked with the official htcdev unlocking.
Any suggestion for some stable (and possibly more modern...this one is gingerbread) ROM that I could get?
Cheers and thank you rain for your help

If you like Sense ROMs, I suggest Desire XS, pretty stable and VERY fast.
I am using Andromadus CM10.1 latest build and I haven't had issues yet.
Else you can consider flashing MIUI ROMs, that have very pretty UI and provide a good user experience. Try for yourself and see which ROM suits for you.

Right now I am installing (I actually did) this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679125
It's supposed to be for desire one but modified to work on desire s.
Installation was fine but it's now stuck on a white screen with htc one logo (and a logo in the bottom saying "beatsaudio"
Crossing my fingers to see if it moves from there!
If not I will definitely try one of the ROMs you suggested....if I did not brick the phone of course! :laugh:
EDIT: It moved from the white sceen and seems to be working....Will be giving this ROM an opportunity....if not will try one of the ones you mentioned...
Good thing the wifi works on this one at least

Fallout is also a very good ROM (all lowveld's ROMs are). I did have tried that ROM before, very stable and with good performance, but sense is too "funeral" for my taste.

Hi all.
I have a problem. I just bought this phone on ebay. Unfortunately I have not been very lucky .... The phone works fine, is S4, but the first flaw is that it was sent to me with the ROM installed on Viper Ones 2. Sins because, after the first few hours of use I have noticed that the display shows the persistence of the icons (especially the status bar) and there is a halo of yellow three-quarters of the display.
Reading around a bit, I read that this is known as screen burn-in that plagues many Amoled. Not a problem exaggerated, but it makes me angry.
Because the phone is under warranty, I would like to request the replacement of the display, but of course I should first return the phone to a factory state.
Since the Viper has updated the HBOOT to 2.15, I can not go back with the ICS RUU. A JB RUU does not exist .... So how do I restore a stock rom to bring it under warranty?
Someone can help me?
Thank you.

I am for a long on xda, you see that I do not know how to do a search ...? The problem of the research is that not always are used the right keys. Anyway thanks for the tip, I read the post, even though I only need a stock rom, but fully restore the phone. But to lock the bootloader I found other guides. Thank you.

HI, installed 1.6.0 on hboot 2.16 and have been using it for a number of days. Occasionally (about every third time) the screen in my dialer goes black and won't wake up. This means I can't hang up the phone or use the dialpad without hard-rebooting. If the other person ends the call, it's fine but if I am leaving a message or something I need to reboot.
I think it might a proximity sensor issue.

I have a similar issue, even on stock, was the reason I rooted my phone in the first place. I use Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibration app from the play store and it solves the problem perfectly.
Just a noobie question...the new build has something called 'chameleon' in it. Where is it and what does it do?

is a new behaviour of status bar, changed the colour like the actual app.
It's nice but isn't deactivable... (and IMHO I don't like much...)

Unable to install zip
Hi, im new to the forum and wondered if anyone can help. Im trying to flash my one s with the newest candykat and keep getting an install error "E: Error executing updater binary in zip 'internal_sd/candykat-ville-215-4.4.4.release...."
My device has s-off and im using twrp 2.7.0, hboot 2.15 and haven't usually had any probs like this before in the past (though it has been around 8 months since i last changed the ROM, time for something new...).
Ive tried the last two releases of CandyKat with the same error, can anyone shed any light on the problem??
Thanks in advance.

Hi, i want to ask if someone else have a problem with com.android.phone force close, sometimes i just have one in a while, but sometimes I have a lot. Yes i tried other roms but have similar problem, so I'm asking if there is a workaround. I'm using hboot 2.16, I came from liberty max sense 5.5 so I have the radio from that rom. Hboot 2.15 user have the problem too? Or if something to live with kitkat aosp?

I think it's a chrome problem., they seem to be trying to introduce a reading mode. I started using the chrome beta and it doesn't have this behaviour. The only way I can find to switch out of that reading mode is to use the task switcher, change to some other task and then change back to chrome.

You need to enable USB debugging in dev options I think, then select mass storage when you plug in the usb cable. Should work fine. As a last resort you could boot to recovery and mount the sd card from TWRP, pc should see it then no problem.
Why KandyKat vers, 1.4 or 1.5 not in HTC One S wiki ?
In HTC One S wiki there is a table of all the Official and well supported custom ROMs.
I noticed that KandyKat is not listed in the wiki summary table.
As a suggestion, can you talk to the webMaster to include KandyKat in the wiki table ?

If I was to upgrade my phone to candyKat 4.4.4 to gain new adnroid features (ex. Miracast, better USB/keyboard connectivity, ART application speeding up, etc . . .)
will the day-to-day popular 4.4.1 functions that I have been using for 3 years on my phone, will continue to work as normal and as stable ?
