What ROM are you running?
try to restart and see if it's there, it should be next to VPN settings

I'm using stock 2.3.4.
I've rooted it before but now it's locked as I don't like to use custom roms.
Already tried to turn off/on and check but still there is no NFC.

Need help with tethering since new update.

T mobile us, rooted unlocked, never put custom Rom on it. I used to be able to tether even when screen shut off, now once the screen shuts off the data stops until I turn the screen back on. Any ideas how to fix this besides leaving screen on?

Bummer.

This actually had me thinking, since google play music is running before the screen shuts off and it constantly draws data, maybe thats why it stays active even when the screen is off. So I am going to have to test this theory by loading a huge webpage on the tethered device to see if you need a constant demand for data for tethering to keep working, I suppose I could just a youtube video.
Edit: My theory panned out and may lead to a fix. This is what I did
1) Turn on FoxFi an make sure screen doesn't time out 2} Tether my Asus Infinity to it making sure the phone screen doesn't time out 3) Start a long youtube video using the youtube app, I tried a 7 minute one. 4) Turn screen off on the phone and I was able to watch the whole video while tethered to my one s
My conclusion is if there is a constant data draw the tether will keep working even when screen is off. So they have enabled a rapid cutoff of wifi if your screen shuts off with no data draw, if there is a draw the data will keep flowing.
Test it out for yourself and share your results, off to try netflix.
Edit 2: Further testing confirms this on my device, This time I used netflix streamed dark of the moon and it continued to allow the tether to work. I dont want to burn my months data out testing this so we need a few more people to try this.

I have the EU rom but I'm experiencing the same issue.
I'm using Airdroid and it stops responding as soon as the screen shuts off. I can confirm that Ready2Mosh is right, since if I turn on the web radio and then shut off the screen Airdroid works flawlessly.
I have never noticed this before 4.0.4 so I'd guess the bug wasn't there. This is a major bug that has to be fixed soon by HTC.
What about 3g connection? Does it shut off too?

Does it do it if you just use the built in tethering app?
I don't think it is really a bug with android per se vs design
that is sleeping the app as backgrounded since screen is off and not being over riden anymore.

You're right. Tethering isn't put to sleep for me.
I can confirm the issue with airdroid and other apps though. I'm going to open a new thread in order not to hijack this one.

I tried airdroid and that works fine for me though.

Really?? Thanks for the info.

I opened up terminal emulator, chose menu>activate wake lock and voilà! Everything's working fine for me now!
You can try this out too, who knows!

Nope, still stops.

Known bugs that HTC must fix

I think it could be useful to compile a list of known bugs, so that we users can have a look and solve (if possible) them and HTC hopefully can bare in mind what still affects this otherwise great phone.
I'm on the EU rom, so I'm listing the bugs of the INTERNATIONAL EUROPEAN One S STOCK ROM (Firmware 2.35, Android 4.0.4, radio 1.06es). If someone is interested in listing the american version's or other version's bugs let me know and I can write down everything in this first post.
KNOWN BUGS:
1) email ringing twice: when you receive an email (just 1 email), the phone sometimes rings twice (one ring and immediately another in 1-2 seconds).
2) hung in standby: if you put the phone in standby for a long time (i.e. at night), when you try to disable standby mode the mobile network is marked as "activating..." in the menu, and actually never activates. You have to reboot in order to get network connectivity (not only data connectivity, but also the ability to make/receive a phone call) back.
3) wifi hung when screen off: wifi keeps connected to the wifi network (if wifi setting "always on" is selected), but data isn't actually transferred when the screen turns off. As a result, the app that relies on wifi (for example, Airdroid) stops responding with screen off, and instead immediately responds if you turn the screen back on (even not unlocking the screen: it's enough that it's on).
4) continuously switching between 3g and hsdpa: when trying to use the mobile connectivity (e.g. loading a web page), the phone sometimes starts switching between 3g and HSDPA and viceversa at 2-3 seconds intervals. In the meanwhile data transfer (download/upload) completely stops (e.g. the web page loading doesn't proceed). Possibly related to fast dormancy. Bug that used to affect other HTC phones in the past and that HTC solved for those with a software update.
5) htc sense keyboard's arrows showing up even if disabled (thanks to users s10shane and greeneyes513)
AND THEIR WORKAROUNDS:
1) none
2) if you enable/disable standby mode by long pressing the power button, instead of from the settings menu, it works.
3) the bug doesn't happen if there is a constant flow of data: e.g. if you put in download a quite huge file and in the meanwhile you turn off the screen, all works (not only the download but also other apps like Airdroid) until the download finishes. Other method: enable "better wifi performance" in settings menu (but this drains the battery a lot). Third method: manually activate a wake lock via third party app such as Android Terminal Emulator (don't know about battery drain but I think likely there is).
4) maybe disabling fast dormancy but this requires root access, so this can't be considered a workaround for most.
5) sometimes can get rid of the arrows by putting the phone in landscape mode, then turning the phone back to portrait mode.
What am I forgetting?

I don't have any of those so called "known issues".

besides 1, the others are present with my device

Yes, the first one is also already known. For example here (that guy mentions it as number 2).

i have an issues with the htc sense keyboard on 4.0.4. i noticed when i turn off the arrows in the keyboard settings, sometimes they show back up on the keyboard even though they are turned off (also it only turns them off in portrait mode). sometimes i can get rid of them by putting the phone in landscape then turning the phone back to portrait mode. lol its annoying as hell

The wifi bug bothers me a lot since I use a texting app and facebook messenger and my wifi ends up turning off after standby for like 5 mins

Can you confirm the same happens on the stock rom? We must be sure that bugs aren't related to custom roms implementation.

It happens on stock.

Added the keyboard's arrows bug...

Hey Guys Flex360 found a way to disable HTC SmartSync on the EVO LTE, with a few shell commands. I whipped it up into an app in the play store HTC smartsync toggle if any one wants to try it.
SmartSync is what is disabling WiFi when screen is off

Unable to add widget...
Oops!!! Did it again!!! the mistake of buying HTC (One S to be precise) .
What a crap HTC devices became!!!
Anyhow, my problem is that I'm unable to add widgets on home screen. When place it on screen it just "loading" and then screen goes blank but widget never shows up, even after reboot. This piece of crap is only 2 days old and installed only few apps. Mine is the Z520e (Snapdragon version).
Any idea how to fix this?
Note :
phone is complete stock
Vodafone branding
not rooted

What I will achieve by deleting Sense data? Did hardreset yday and it worked ok until disabled Vodafone apps but it started again, however this time widgets are ok, but very laggy. When returning to home page it takes up to 10 seconds! Compare to my other "toys" this is really crap! Shame on HTC!!!

A lot of times sense will glitch and do some funky stuff. Clearing the data wi fix it some times...
Seriously just go buy a different phone.
And don't blame it on HTC if disabling vodaphone apps makes it glitch, its vodaphones problem, they changed the software.

A few bugs I found... Are these already known?
Often when opening the sms app, the sort menu will open by itself.
The phone reports available open wifi networks, even though I turned that feature off.

Notification about open wifi networks
I can confirm this bug. Although I have turned the notification for open networks off, it shows up in the notification area whenever I have wifi turned on and am not connected to a wifi network. That's probably not the expected behavior, so it's a (minor) bug.

I read that this may be due to not doing a factory reset after installing the lates OTA update.
I just bought the phone and installed everything, so I can't be bothered with a reset for this small inconvenience. But when/if Jelly Bean arrives, I will do a reset after installing, and see if that fixes the issues.

Not for me it doesn't. In fact I'm not sure I understand the workaround anyway! I mean, how else am I supposed to enable/disable standby mode? I only ever long-press the power button to put it in standby mode.
Mine is totally stock, supplied unlocked from Clove and about one in every four wake-from-standby, I have no data or mobile network connection unless I carry out a full restart. I thought it was me, the fact that I occasionally use it without data, or swap between PAYG and Pay Monthly (o2) sim cards, but I've just popped in another (True Mobile) PAYG sim and that's the same.
No such problems with my HTC One X+; possibly the best phone I ever bought. That's not supposed to sound conceited. In fact, quite the opposite.

[Q] notifcations won't vibrate, any fix?

I recently just flashed the embryo 5.4 rom and its a great but the only problem is I can't make the notifcations vibrate for anything. I've made sure the vibrate function is enabled everywhere ( under the settings, messaging app, etc) the intensity is all the way up and still nothing. I also have the vibrate on screen tap funtion on and that doesn't seem to work either. I've flahsed this over twice already, no reboots fix it. I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I've searched around on here and the web but no answers

Not sure if this ROM has profiles, but I had a similar problem with CM9 a while back. Turns out I had enabled a nighttime profile by accident, and everything was set as normal, except I had vibrate disabled for notifications. Once I disabled and deleted all those profiles, everything was back to normal.

Ive been having the same issue with only SMS notifications. All others will sound/vibe normally.
Flash 5.0 base = working vibe on sms
Update 5.4= no vibe on sms
Any possible solution? Md5 checks OK.

this is my problem for 2month TOO
i cant find answer and everyone in around say your phone and htc is a bad brand and ...
so i can't answer for which reason this happend
realy big problem for appZ like What's App

I'm just going to try out lowest screen brightness & never turn off screen and after that the advanced wifi lock & etting you know which works better on battery life. Tho im sure advanced wifi lock tops the other method.

I also I have the same problem, I put a link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34967017 # post34967017 to try to find help, but from what I see, is difficult to solve.

Still seems that advanced wifi lock is best solution right now. When i get 100% charge level i shall try how fast it drains the battery

But the question is why only a few phones have this problem and why a app like advanced wifi lock can fix the problem???????
Mysterious! I tried out different custom roms and radios and the problem was always the same.
Maybe one of the developers of a custom rom can help?

I have a similar issue but its my WiFi hotspot that stops broadcasting signal when screen is off
