[REF][Q&A] Official ICS Update Q&A Thread - HTC Desire S

The speculation thread has filled up with pointless questions on the ROM. (I.E - non development info)
Examples...
'How do I disable vibration?'
'How do I turn off keyboard sound?'
Etc
Time to keep it simple, here is the Q&A thread, post any questions you have here, about the official updates.

I got 2 little questions:
1. How can I change the first day of the calendar from Sunday to Monday?
2. Why my "network provided time zone" is GMT+3, if I'm in Romania (GMT+2)? OK, I changed manually, but ... why?
Thanks!

2)reboot the phone or try changing sim card

that link says, Install Desire S official ICS update and keep S-OFF and RECOVERY, but I think I have stock DS so it means my S-ON right?

I installed the rom and its quite nice - but there are two main problems, which i can't manage to solve on my own. ..
1. After disabling the spelling correction, it should be off - but in some apps, like trillian, its still activated. Didn't have that problem on 2.3
2. Same for vibrate feedback. Turned it off - but it's still on while typing in my apps.
Thats annoying while chatting ~_~
--------- Solved ----------
Should have looked further. .. found the options to disable both in the Touch Input Keyboard options. ..

I have a question regarding the update. I have a stock Desire S that is network locked on Orange. Do it need to unlock before the update, or should I proceed as normal?

Turn off your phone, battery out, then put it back in, press the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time, it will say on there somewhere s-on or s-off

Works great but remember its still in beta.... Also don't add customized lockscreens... Tried 2 diffrent ones from cloud storage and it didnt unlock on many of the diffrent themes.. which will lock you out of your own phone... Had to reflash to get back in.. just use caution.. and don't forget to backup your current rom

Its actually it Alpha stages meaning I wouldn't use this as the main OS but rather, just to mess around with.
ok just using it right now. camera cant take pics. it just shows white on the camera. messages app works but when press new message it fc. theme downloading works. data, wifi, settings things up, gmail, gallery, fil explorer, calling, calendar, and everything else works. its just messages and camera so far not working. and needs to be a little bit smoother. going to run fix permissions and see if it changes anything.

[Q] Something isn't functioning properly

So I had to reboot my phone due to weird bugs and glitches. But now, everytime I factory reset it, it still has Enzola's unknown sources feature, yet lacking the button of htc updating. Can someone please help me? It runs Android 2.33 and Htc Sense 2.1
please, anyone? I don't even have the fast boot option.

The unknown sources option was initially removed by AT&T. It belongs there now. The HTC Update feature is removed in Gingerbread. Fastboot has been moved in the settings menu. It is now in the Power subsection.

Open the market and go into the help section. Under troubleshooting, it tells you how to update there. If that doesn't work, I will post the apk file for you, so you can manually update. Just let me know if you get it to update or not.

I would like to share with you a couple of gps improvements!
Some of you know them from my Desire HD Thread or from the One X Thread.
GPS Tweaks
Changelog

much more detail tweaks
Aroma installer
Installation
download
push the zip on your sdcard
check md 5
flash through recovery
Notice
with the faster_gps_fix you may not see a faster result at first try. thats because your device have to redownload the a-gps data. so make sure you have a data connection.
you also can redownload the a-gps data manuall with a market app called GPS-Status for example.

Do you have to wipe your efs cache? I know I had to on my g2
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Nope, just flash it
Flash it and use the App "GPS Status" to reload the agps data. That gives the best results.
My GPS I's not accurate anymore. It's about 250 yards off. It only gets precise with wifi. Is there a way to flash back to what I had? I'm in the U.S.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
You redownload the agps data Luke i wrote in the notice section in the first post? If you want to go back get the gps.conf from your Rom and copy it into system/etc. or if you haven't other mod reflash your Rom without wipe.
It actually started working. I guess it just needed some time

Hey guys, (PLEASE NOTE, ICE CREAM SANWICHE BUILDS ONLY, ANY ICE CREAM SANDWICHE ROM IS COMPATIBLE)
i made a SG3 initially for HTC one X,
I tried this on my friends htc desire and it worked like a charm so i am just wondering if it will work here aswell!
PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS WORKS OR NOT
This Mod will also not interfere with any other mods you may have installed and will not remove anything or change anything, just adds extra frameworks and ofcourse an app!
well here it is!
(Please note this is a perfect and exact edition of SG3 haha)
there should be absolutely no problems whatsoever!
