HTC Desire or HTC Desire S?
Which one should i buy?Because in our country the HTC desire s is very expensive but i can still if it is worth the money
I like the HTC Desire S but the thing is the "The Death Grip" is a deal breaker for me.
Anyways is this a hardware problem or software problem?
While im worried as well with the HTC Desire's screen not Gorilla Glass is the screen on the desire durable from accidental drops?
Hope somebody can help me with this thanks
I voted for Desire, because:
-Physical buttons&trackpad
-~70€ cheaper
-huge development-section and many rom's
-If you're lucky, AMOLED-screen
Maybe the only thing that is better in Desire S is real multi-touch
I say Desire S
Bigger internal phone storage, 756 ram, HD recording, front camera....

I broke my Desire Z recently and I am thinking of getting a used phone for around 250 SGD, the HTC desire s caught my eye, I love my old desire z, but the low ram keeps bothering me, Since the desire s is just a desire z without the keyboard and has more ram, I'm thinking of getting it. I am now deciding between the desire HD and the desire s, I like the desire s screen better since it is slcd. But I've heard that the desire s has emmc chip problems, is it very common?
eMMC chip problems are far from common, and are present in the same quantity around all the HTC line based on MSM8x55 and having 2GB of internal memory - which covers DHD, MT4G, DS, and of course your previous DZ/G2, which has exactly the same eMMCs.
If you can get it cheap - it's a great phone.
Is this phone getting official ics?
How smooth is the phone when running a custom rom like affinity? Is it as smooth as the real sensation xl? Cuz they have the same hardware, just that sensation xl clocks a little higher

I personally dont recommend it. Its nothing I can complain about the phone. Its fast like hell, Im proud of owning it, seriously. I recommended it when ppl asked me about a phone. But seeing what is about to come, if I were you I would wait a bit, raise some money so I could affront the endless quantity I would to spend in the HTC One X.
But I repeat: Its my point of view (In fact, is what Im going to do), the rest is up to you
I agree with Rostwildch here, as much as I love my Desire S you have the One X and the One S coming soon, the last one a little more cheap.
Performance wise they'll be above the Desire S a bit.
Good shopping!
I agree with everyone too.
The Desire S is a fantastic phone. But in my opinion, its more or less the same as the Z, not much of an upgrade.
If you can wait, get the One series.. they will be epic!

But I have no money for a new phone, I'm getting a used desire s
It's something you have to decide for yourself, like olyloh6696 said it's not that much of an upgrade.
Even if you're not buying it new it might be quite some money being spent.. personally I'd wait, but that's my view on things. You have to have yours.

Yes, it is. HTC posted it on their Facebook-Site.
About the ROM: I normaly run CM7 Nighlies und since yesterday CM9 Alpha on ICS.
without any problems.
If I compare CM7 to the Original ROM it is much better and smoother than sense.

"A little" is by factor of 1.5 - not "little" by any standard. Sensation XL also has CPU with 2 cores, and of a little better kind. Calling Desire S "the same hardware" is far from truth - Sensation XL is ~2.5 times more powerful.

Sorry, but you're wrong. The sensation XL has the same CPU as the Desire S but it it factory clocked to 1.5GHz. It is essentially the same phone, which is why we have many ROMs, such as Endymion, based on the Sensation XL.

Dan is right...
I'm think you're getting confused with the Sensation/XE.

Yes, indeed confused with Sensation XE. Sorry.

desire s is good choice for me.....

Yes, Desire S is supposed to get official ICS, but with Sense 3.6, not 4.
Not even 4 lite, like in the Primo S ROMs...

Sensation XL has 1 core, Sensation XE has CPU with 2 cores/
UPD: noticed previous messages too late
The Desire S works great for me especialy if you apply the MIUI rom

What's the sensation xl getting? Sense 3.6 or 4.0? Cuz if its 4.0, the devs can grab the sensation xl based rom and port it over to this device and it should run smoothly

Sensation and XE already got a sense 3.6 with android 4.0.3.Sense 4.0 might be ported later, if HTC decide to port it.
guys i have the option to get a new phone and im looking to get either the sensation for free or the one s. i just dont know if the one s is really worth the upgrade it or should i just stick with the sensation thats free till a better htc phone comes out?
im worried about development for the htc one s cause the sensation has a lot of support in this forum and a lot of roms and im scared the one s isnt gonna get as big as the sensation.. what are your takes?
thank you
I personally don't see any upside to the One S honestly. No storage extension, a non-removable battery, not a quad core. If you're looking for sense 4 the sensation has some stable and fast ported roms from the HTC One S.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
thank you man thats what i was thinking as well. i just dont know how stable the sense 4 for sensation is but ill look into it.
I just tried CoinDroid as my first Sense 4 ROM today - so far so good! No stability issues at all, and the camera's burst shots is DAMNED FAST.
But isn't the one s super amoled?

Both are still qHD. Amoled or not is simply a matter of personal preference.
The One S not having quad core is in fact better. (S4 > T3) Pretty much the only thing that appeals to me is the S4 in the One S.

Well what are the disadvantages of qhd super amoled? It's just so eye popping, you can't see your reflection on the screen when in use, better in light, less power consumption, larger optimum viewing angle, what isn't there to love about super amoled?

i currently have both the sensation and htc one s
and i have to say that HTC ONE S IS FRUSTRATING when trying to root , backup, restore or anything
the sensation was so good to me.
but the htc one s is faster than the sensation.
there is one bug with the htc one s when rooting and flashing to a diff rom is that wifi doesnt work. and i need my wifi.
if u r thinking on upgrading dont go for the htc one. SUCKS honestly.
stick to the sensation!

Between the two the non-removable battery is a deal breaker...
just my .02
One S has much better camera if that is important to you. I mean the actual sensor itself. Great in low light situations. However you're stuck with about 10 gig of user space and that can be kind of crippling with no external sd card. With the Sensation I have a 32 gig sd card which is great but I wish my camera sensor was better. Especially in low light.
HTC really likes to stick us between a rock and a hard place sometimes!

You guys do realize that this thread is almost a year old, right?
Hey guyz , how is the one s
Should i get it, or wait til the next htc phone comes out
PS: Do you guyz know, when htc launches it next phone? Which model?

I'm thinking the next flagship will be the HTC Zeta (codename). While the specs will obviously be cutting edge, it's the rumored physical dimensions that have me excited. I felt the size of the HTC Desire was PERFECT, as in, it was designed with humans in mind, unlike...ahem...the S3. Despite being similar in size, it will actually have a bigger screen, 4.5" (again, rumors).
If all of this ends up being true, I think HTC will have come up with literally the perfect phone.

It´s the usual problem: There is ALWAYS a better phone in the line.
with screen up to 4,3" the One S will be a long time #1!
