Looks pretty real to me, didn't know it had disabled nfc
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
highly doubt it's real since if it's there, HTC should've advertise it so they will get more praise for it.
What about the Samsung s2? That has NFC but not in the software.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Probably not. NFC can't get through the metal back cover. Since it can't, I doubt HTC put any NFC chips in the device.

That's why the top and bottom covers are plastic. NFC could get out, just like wifi and cell does.
Why would they put NFC in the device and not advertise it ? They know what they put into the phone as much as id like it to be real it must be fake
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Be nice if this is true. Not too bothered about it now though as NFC isn't really a big feature here in the UK (yet.....) and can't see it being that popular/"the norm" for at least another year.
It has happened in other phones as well i.e. my last android phone, the Samsung galaxy spica i5700, it had a FM radio chip and also multi-touch, both weren't enabled with stock samsung software and weren't advertised at all or listed in the specs. either, thankfully, one great developer got the multi-touch working superbly.

Have the tear downs not showed a NFC chip ?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I have build an NFC Chip into my Computer to test the possibilities of NFC with my One X. So I thought, could it be that the One S also has an NFC Chip but disabled it so that the One X has an benefit against his little brother. Than I tried to port the NFC Drivers from the One X to the S and it works very well, but you can't disable it and there is no Android Beam yet. I try to cook an NFC enabled, RUU based Rom with working Android Beam. Download Link: Is coming soon!

Yup David111jr did have this up a few days ago....but the title of his thread didnt help to entice people to read :silly: When i showed this to a few other people, it was mentioned that it might be the cleaver use of Chrome to Phone. It would be awesome if it turned out to be true, but since people like to play nice tricks like this, we will have to wait and see. As for Leedroid, looking through his thread it looks like he might be busy with home things (after all awesome devs have home lives too ) . Hopefully a dev can either debunk or reproduce it. I will keep my fingers crossed for sure!!
Chrome to phone for sure. I call shenannigans.

That's my main beef with the iPhone...who wants their phone to look the exact same 5 years from now?? I just find it boring as hell. And WAY too thick.
You know what's funny about Apple though, they fight tooth and nail to get Android off the shelves and say their software is the key point of their pitch but they neglect to mention all of Googles' features they use on a regular basis for one when you search for anything on an apple device it uses Google, can't blame them there right.
Now their saying their new 3d maps are going to beat Googles Maps but G Maps has been in beta for a few years now, they know what works and what doesn't but if Apple wants to give it a go then it should be interesting.
I'll stick with this device, there will always be something wrong somewhere with anything some one has, nothing is perfect otherwise there wouldn't be competitors.

That's the way it's headed anyway...Google is about to blow the provider model out of the water with their next gen Nexus devices (which should even put your mighty gen1 Nexus to shame), working directly with more manufacturers and selling directly to consumers. And I can't wait...I think they'll be doing all us Android users a big favor, longterm.
Apple really good in steal ideal and make it better than the original one. if you look at notification bar on iphone, it's really nice and i think it does better job than our android notification. I also like their notification badge/alert/ pop up for message/mail/FB... Still i can get popup app from play store but i want some thing that come from the operating system itself... I takes android phone because it's open, not because it better than iphone.
Yeap...open source FTW!!

September if you backed them on kick starter, early 2013 for everyone else. I'm actually a fan of the black and white screen. It's more readable in direct sunlight, unlike a color LCD. To me, it still has to be a watch, which means being able to read and use it easily. I wouldn't want a full color screen because I don't intend for it to replace my phone, but rather to supplement it and add convenience to certain aspects, such as taking a quick glance to see who's calling or checking a text without taking my phone out. Oh yeah, and it takes WAY less battery than a color screen. There's a bunch of other cool features. Can't wait for it!! By the way, if you are looking for a color screen, the same company already has a previous model that you may be interested in..albeit not as versatile as the new model.. http://getinpulse.com
Hey guys my screen shattered on my sensation ( so much for gorilla glass) lol. And assurion gave me a option go Samsung galaxy s or htc one s. so it was a no brainier.. How des everyone like there phone ? What cases are you using ? And is it true there can be NFC on this phone it's just missing drivers????

The One S is one of the best built phones around. No need to F it up with some ugly otter box taking away its sexiness and slim size. Unless you are working outside in construction or hiking there is no need for those ugly boxes.
Btw Cruzerlite makes a sweet case. Keeps the slim shape and size of the phone. Plus they have many color and graphic options featuring Andy the Android.

Edit your OP, go advanced, change title, boom
It would be really cool, if NFC works :victory:
Please change the title to something that will attract more attention.
There are few possible cases.
1) One S really has a NFC chip which we could use if someone ports the drivers and applications
2) He uses one of these special micro sd cards which adds NFC ability
3) He faked the video, maybe with a script which opens the browser after a few seconds
Edit: he just posted a video which shows that the One S supports Samsungs Tectiles technique, which needs NFC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WKQSB4imtk&feature=plcp oO
Got my new phone I love it. Need to do root and order a otterbox. Lol
I hope some devs see the thread now I changed the title.

Up to now all of them EXCEPT ONE are the wrong ones. On the picture it shows the flex and you can see the parallel lines on it... I did order it but don't recall what happened to it. I'll ask at work and let you know.

I know that the connector ends look different, I saw them myself, but it doesn't mean that the digitizer differs electrically, if you understand what I am trying to say. I have used a multimeter to test few of those, and found that the pins which are connected between themselves on one type of flex, are also connected on other flex too, even when the end looks differently. That is what I wanted to say
Oh, and the missing contact, it looks like it isn't used by the tablet

Ha! I wish! With Verizon's record, we probably won't see the update until the next ice age! It does look like a lot of good things are in there though- improved camera drivers and a built in file manager would be great.

This part is not credible. They installed an LED with orange and green; period. It reminds me of an April Fool's joke many MANY years back when Palm announced a "software color mode" and those not knowing better thought that suddenly their monochrome Palm Pilot's would have color capabilities. The LED colors can't be changed with software. So, I'm a little suspicious of the entire piece because of that one detail.
Besides, if I haven't heard it from @evleaks, I don't believe it's real.

I think the different LED flash notifications would be awesome! I used to have this on my Moto Defy and I love it. I am going to try this ROM out tongiht.
