I almost never have my mobile connection turned on at the moment. As for wifi it seems to be pretty variable even when its sat in one place between 0 and 2 bars. 3 if i move elsewhere in the house.
There most definitely will be a jellybean ROM on XDA for the GS 2 as soon as the sources for it get posted etc. Pretty sure that there will be a fully working one before the S as well.
TBH I think you might like the GS 2 more due to the rooting and flashing etc. you have so much more choice for the GS 2 than any other phone really.
Nice one, how much you get it for?
Yup, the galaxy nexus did seem to have a lot of problems with signal as well (put me off when I was looking at them as well), however, iirc it was just the SIMs that needed to be replaced (only one guy had a really faulty phone iirc), haven't seen those people complaining about the issue since that (on the galaxy nexus thread here).
No idea , iirc omega and wanamlite or hydro.... something and checkrom seemed to be the best ROMs.
Better asking in this thread (still a lot of GS 2 owners) to see what the best is nowadays http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18241654&page=621
Also, may want to buy the extended battery for the GS 2 in order to match the one S battery life.
Pretty nice deal
haha
touchwiz is pretty good, a lot of nice tweaks etc. to it, it just the colour scheme and looks throughout the system, which I can't stand, could always just root and flash a standard de-odexed stock ROM and then put a custom theme e.g. ICS theme on. In some ways the best of both then
Yeah, hoping to see an update soon as we haven't had one for a while now and the 3 dots menu button is ****ing me off
I've got a grey One S here at the moment and I do very much like the cold metal feel, especially in this heat!
I think TW Fox needs to get one as well.
We need more people with one in general
Nice
What do you think of the device overall then?
I am actually surprised that he hasn't got one yet Although I think the lightness and how thin it is puts him off completely
I find it so strange that they didn't just make a better flagship phone in the One X, especially as the HTC One S is only going to become less popular if they start using the S3 chip over the S4. Why didn't they do that to start with? Why create a problem where the S competes with the X when the S is clearly designed to be a mid-range phone... as evidenced by the inferior screen, lack of NFC, lack of advertising, lack of updates, lack of storage, etc.
It's good that they've made two nice phones, but annoying that neither are as good as the competition, which is the Galaxy S III. If we face the facts, neither of them can be considered better unfortunately, there are too many holes in the specifications.
The metal should stop that concern though really, you can hardly say it feels cheap, weight aside.
The S3 was more accurate and faster with a GPS fix from a cold start
Ah, good to see you back again stoosh!
This thread just keeps growing and growing
Yeah, I am very impressed by how easy it is to see the one s screen in sunlight, with the desire, spica and GS 2 etc. I had to shield the screens to be able to make stuff out easily.
As you have seen in my review probably, I tried getting a photo to show how good it was in bright sunlight, but failed
Nice photos there Have to say I think the HOS looks better overall in all of them except the bus stop shot, not really much of a difference for them all though. Extremely impressive the low lit shots (pretty much in pitch black conditions) by the HOS
Nice GPS test there as well GS 3 beats it by a bit. Will have to give that a try on mine and see what I get, been very impressed with the GPS on the S as well.
Exactly! HTC really have made a mess of things, I honestly think this could have been their year again if they had used the S4 in the X as well as also having a MAO aluminium uni-body, had a SD slot for both phones and done a much better job of marketing their phones, not just marketing the X. Possibly given the S NFC as well as that looks like it will be standard in the majority of phones now.
Would love to know how many X's and S's have been sold? Don't think it would be a lot tbh
Yeah the GS 3 is definitely a more "complete package" than either, an upgrade overall compared to both, although the S and X have their strengths in some areas compared to the GS 3. And then some areas come down to personal preference i.e. design/looks, size and software etc.
haha I know , but this is Fox were talking about here............
There is also a public perception that HTC are rubbish, I've met loads of people who think they're cheap, nasty and unreliable. Most of them do have iPhones and BlackBerry's, but not all. I inform them that they're wrong, but such an image isn't a positive thing!
