It's a lot better implementation of it - unless I've been missing something! Before I had to press and hold the 'Home' button and up would pop a recent apps list. This is a whole lot better. Certainly seems to be the experience I have had. Makes swapping from say a password manager to browser a lot easier?

Yup it is a lot better the way it is now, I prefer the "look" of the vanilla ICS multi tasking window though, but the sense way is still great anyway.

Speaking of browsers I immediately installed Boat Browser but then started using the One S default one (Chrome?). Must say I'm leaning towards uninstalling Boat Browser and do find the bundled browser loads a web pages a whole lot faster and has a certain snappiness to it?

The default one is just stock ICS browser (not chrome) but modded to sense style with a few tweaks and with a few additional features. It is better than the stock ICS one IMO.

This is chrome here:

But I personally found it pretty poor, if you use chrome on your main PC then it may be very useful as it can sync the opened tabs on your PC to your mobile and bookmarks etc. but I use nightly/UX builds of firefox, so it doesn't matter :D :p

I personally didn't find the smoothness/snappiness/speed difference HUGE between 3rd party browsers and the stock sense one, but the difference is noticeable.

I've raised the issue with HTC and waiting to hear back. Hopefully it'll be just as you say.

Nice :) It will be interesting to see what they have to say.

Anyone have any success with playing 1080/720P MKV's using LAN mode on BS player lite?

:confused:

BS player lite still lags when trying to play 1080/720 MKV content via streaming, yet if I place it on my mobile internal storage it plays perfectly fine and super smooth.

Any idea what is wrong? Do I need to set something up on my PC or change some settings?

EMIT works just fine but all the processing is done on my PC and all four cores are at max :eek: which I don't like one bit and plus the quality is no where as good as BS player :(

This is my main gripe at the minute, but I am not sure if this is a problem on my PC like a setting or something else or just a problem with the one S and BS player......
 
Ive been trying to order an upgrade HTC One s through orange all day, but the stupid website isnt working, and i keep getting an error page that simply says OOPS!

Its really infuriating!!! micky mouse company... should never have left O2...

I want a new phone to play with!
 
:eek:

WOW! My case mate tough arrived today.....fastest delivery I have ever had lol.


First impressions are very good!

Although I didn't receive a case mate screen protector with it :(
 
i 'upgraded' last year from a k850i :p bought it off a friend for 50 quid as i wanted something i could surf the net on.

i'm selling it to my mum as she's even further behind on phone tech than i am! she's upgrading from some nokia thing that barely renders in colour :D
 
I'm just looking at getting one of these as my t-mobile contract is up soon

Might wait for the galaxy s3 but not sure if it's worth waiting? :(
 
The only downsides to the One S for me is that u can't remove the battery & the lack of MicroSD :(

I've had my spica for 24months and had to replace the battery after 18months :(
Also I've had to pull the battery a few times on the spica when it has stopped responding

Other than that I think the One S would be ok for me.
