Nice Post!

I really like something from page 90...
"(1) Try to cold boot the unit then tries again" Almost like they expect failure...

thank you might need this for the future

Anyone have these? The original link is down.

looks like HTC asked that they be pulled

damn they found it really fast!

There is still 1 copy of the service manual on this site...ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

Oh wow. How did I miss this when it was first posted. This will surely be helpful when changing out that glass whenever I get around to ordering it. I found it dirt cheep, but was a little hesitant for fear of doing more damage than good. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

I for one was very interested in his post. What do you care if he posted omg in caps? IMO

I'm not sure if it is possible to create a higher capacity battery while still keeping the same dimensions of the original battery. If it was that simple, shouldn't HTC have done this themselves?

You are right about the pointless scolding and correcting. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I just found the topic annoying to read and I think I may point that out. That doesn't say I agree to attack the op about it.

I wouldn't do such a dangerous manipulation. The One S's battery is already excellent so I would not consider changing it before a long time.

OK so to answer your question there is a way to change the battery say it becomes unusable, (Direct from T-Mobile tech support ) you can bring in the device to a service store and they can replacement it for you or upgrade it with an extended version that's made for it and there is a battery / case you can buy that fits over the device and doubles the life of the existing battery and protects the device at the same time.
Once I get mine in the mail this week (buy one get one free, I got two) I'll pull one apart and try to change out the sdcard to a 32gb (I guess it's gotta be cut on the left side to fit) and I'll report back with how I do.
But for the short answer, No and No with a side of lost topic abuse. Good luck...........

Teardown video. Can't watch now, but from the freezeframe, doesn't look like there's an actual "sd card" you can replace.

Actually it's been done already but I'm having a hard time finding the read through on it again but it shows you how to cut the SDCard ( along the side , it has to match the one taken from it.) so that it will fit the holder it locks into, it's not like the standard slot it actually has a plate over it.
If I find the breakdown again I'll post it but it actually doesn't look that hard to do but I think it didn't matter what kind of card it had to be as long as the casing was cut correctly.
I'm just not going to let this 32 gb SDCard go to waste even if I ruin one in the process I'll try anything once. I have pretty good hands though and because I'm use to soldering boards I think it shouldn't be too bad.
(If the information I got was correct too, you never know with the Net though.)
The information about the battery is valid though a tech at T-Mobile did say there is a battery that is made that will fit the case that you can upgrade it too but I didn't ask how much.

I'm very curious about this. I did a search last night, but couldn't find anything. Saw many interior pics but nothing w/ a card visible.
Any idea where you saw it?

The speeds from the internal storage are way faster than a typical micro sdhc, I'm not convinced that someone will find an sd card slot in there

In his defense, you barely asked it. No punctuation and the grammar there isn't the best, sometimes it can be hard to understand. Anyhow, there's two Sensation LCD manufactures. Neither is really better or worse than the other, depends on preference. They both work, and there's a thread around here that compares them.

So the glass that covers the rear camera broke.... any idea where to get a replacement

Not that I can tell. The fix is very easy, unscrew 7-8 screws put on replacement. Screws back in the back and profit.

Do you wonder why you aren't getting a warm reception?
First there is this exact thread posted by someone else already going in this forum, at one point it was literally right on top of yours. Second is your attitude. Mistawolfe asked if you had googled it and you came back with a smart ass response...
Next time you're along for help lose the attitude if you really want someone to help you. Until then you can find your own part as far as I'm concerned.

I am glad I found this...I was going to order the international version as well because mine has a scratch on it.
Would really love a link as well..I have googled to no end. All I can find is the cemera replacement module itself.

Battery issue

My Desire S takes 5hr for normal charge, but if i take out my battery after a 4hrs of charge and put it back on it shows me 100% charging with green light,can some one explain me that,I am also getting sick of this 5hr of charging is there any way to improve charging time?

And people wonder why I get frustrated at XDA nowadays

Some people are really thick, its beyond funny.
How do you expect some software tweak is going to improve charging times of your battery?
If it isn't lasting long enough as before, simply you need a new battery, are you too thick to realize that?

Dear Fellow members my cell phone is new, my brother has brought it from U.K to Pakistan,so there is no hardware fault as much as i know,i just needed a utility kind of app which can turn off all the power consuming apps on my phone, i didn't asked for a faster charging app,as the same i asked in previous threads also...

1. Dont open same multiple topic, this place is cluttering up.
2. Have u tried a different battery?
ya so u say it is new, so ur new phone needs a 'special app' to do what other phones are able to do without such app, that is charge normally?
so it's software issue? sounds very unlikely doesn't it. Try a different charger/battery and tell us how it goes.
Software can't fix hardware issue.

My house has 2 ds, 1 is rooted which is mine the other is not, mine takes 7 hours from 10 to 100%, before this it only took appox 2 hours, which is the charge rate.
I have a habit or charging it from low to full, and yet this problem occur, my mom has a habit or charging whenever she feels like, and yet no problem
How it happened, no idea.
Is it a rom issue? no
Is it charger? no, i have 2 htc charger and 1 samsung, all the same.
Have i tried wipe, yes, but still no fix. Tried a few on the market, even in recovery.
The charge rate starts to slow at 50-55%, if u look at the graph, and starts to speed up at 91%.
Is it the port, very unlikely, but possible.
Is it the batt, very likely, why havent i tried changing it, because i have no money. And because i just charge when ever it gets low, which is usually the time i sleep.
So when ppl tell me to chg the battery i dont say it is silly. Unless i test it out, then i can rule out battery and say my battery is fine.
ps : basically what ppl here are telling u is, it is ur battery problem, and u called it "silly"? Makes u look silly doesnt it.
ps2 : and there is no app here to help u charge faster, and dun expect ppl to google for u

Charging time of my new 5 day old battery from empty to full is about 2-2.5 hours, my old battery took up to 5 hours for a full charge, this is the same regardless of the rom I'm using, I'm a flashaholic so I've tried on many roms over the last few days, the condition of my old battery was good according to the many apps out there(not that i put much stock in them) only when i brought a new battery did this improve. I would consider the people on this forum more expert than most "experts" I've come across and certainly more qualified than htc customer support who generally only read from a pre written flow chart and know very little about the workings of a phone

Bottom line is you can't or won't accept the possibility that it could be a problem, the only way to disprove the possibility is of you actually purchase one and try it.
