Brief instructions for those who are in the tank. Or how to determine what is broken.

Phone tupit, freezes, spontaneously turns something on or off, or something does not work.
1. We look at what programs were installed recently, and delete them. If there are no such programs or you are sure that the programs do not go further
2. We look at which programs have been updated by themselves, rolled back or deleted. If there are none, or you are sure that the programs have nothing to do with and we go further.
3. If you have a third-party firmware, check for updates or flash with a wipe. Perhaps the third-party firmware was updated by itself, to an unstable version (stone in MIUI). If you have a standard firmware, then go ahead
4. If you have root on a standard firmware, it is possible that you have caught a virus. Check Antivirus for Android. Actual for android<4.1. A virus infected phone without root is treated by rebooting.
5. If not a damn thing helps, do a reset. Settings-Built-in memory-Reset to factory settings. (Delete numbers, SMS, settings, etc.)
6. Lovers with a firmware, remove the thread from the system files (need root), or install the kernel, modem, etc. We are flashing with what we are 100% sure with or official firmware


If it also tupit, hangs, spontaneously turns something on or off, or something does not work. So the matter in the gland by 90%.

7. Water. Recall the last time (2-3 months). Have you been in the rain. Have often taken with wet hands. Do you like to chat in the bathroom, etc.? Usually detected by corrosion (oxidation) in the area of ​​water ingress. Also the RED LED on the battery should be white. Even if slightly red it means toplenik. It is necessary to carry to the service center, usually fuels do not live longer than half a year.
9. Concussion. It is unlikely that the display can be broken. But also possible. According to external signs, one cannot understand (if the phone is whole), it is necessary to carry it to the service center.
10. VERY RARE voltage surge, high current supply is possible. According to external signs do not understand. VERY RARE on some PCs or kit-shooters, the current supply is more than 5V, respectively, we get a dead body. It is necessary to carry to the service center.
11. Marriage 1%

Restore 802.11n to 4.0.4, recipe (requires root).

Be sure to read

Dear forum users! Beginners, old-timers, regular readers and rare writers!
You have probably noticed that a large number of people, sometimes, simply register on the forum in order to “somewhere quickly ask your question, get an answer and disappear.” We are not against such a turn of events and are always ready to help. However, there is a limit to everything and your unwillingness to use the navigation on the forum, read the information already existing on the questions asked, as well as messages not on the subject of the topic - causes negative emotions ...
We call: if you are not sure - write in a personal moderator or curator - we will tell you where to turn. People, understand that not following the Rules of the forum and sections - you create a lot of inconvenience to everyone, and then declare that the topic is a mess.
We hope for your understanding. You should not be offended by people who are doing everything for your convenience, but you, for your part, do not do anything in return and do not even consider it necessary to think that your “quick” creates a lot of problems for other people.
Dear forum users! We also draw your attention to the fact that direct links to other sites, as well as posts that are not relevant to the topic of our branch and have lost their relevance, will be deleted. With respect, administration.

Pro update Sense 3.0 and ICS 4.0

As for software updates and Sense 3.0 in particular:

Now HTC sends software updates over the air. The update includes Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, as well as a security fix (firmware version 2.10.401.5 for Europe). You can manually check the possibility of updating your device by going toSettings ->About phone ->Software Updates ->Check now . Most European devices (including the Russian Federation) have already received updates, Asian ones are next in line. Accelerate the receipt of FOTA-updates can not. Who can not wait to get new opportunities, go to the topic Firmware , do S-OFF and flash through the recovery. Debate about "when I get the update," close. Similar messages will be deleted as offtopic!


Upgrade to 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 brought:

• ability to take screenshots of the combination Power + Home
  
• simple photo and video editor (available from the Gallery)
  
• video calls on google talk
  
• built-in task manager (in the menu or on the right side of the notification panel)
  
• New desktop design with the ability to launch four applications from the lock screen (including various lock screen themes).
  
• previous correctionsecurity issuesin Sense 3.0 (only in version 2.10.401.5 and newer)
  

Wallpapers are now not scrolling (both live and normal): if you want to scroll, put another launcher (the same solution for everyone who does not like the carousel when unlocking). Appeared strokes in the keyboard (such as in Swype and SlideIT - are included in the settings): they do not work in the search, because input correction is disabled there.

After updating "as a gift," get a new Market ...

Who does not work off after the update, try to keep Power longer. If it does not work, reboot "increase sound" + "decrease sound" + "on". If it does not help, then FOTA has crookedly risen and it is necessary to do a hard reset.

At allhereThe whole article with pictures about this update.

Regarding the upgrade to ICS 4.0

<a href = "http: //www.invalidablelink.ru / 2012/08 / obnovlenie-htc-desire-s-do-android-4-0-i-sense-3-6 / "target =" _ blank ">>>>>Actual information<<<<</ a>
HTC will update our smartphone in June-July!A source.
Technically, all devices working under
Android, able to run Android 4.0 ICS,
but not all devices can actually
work with "full impact". In this way,
all manufacturers check ICS on their
devices to check
performance and convenience and in
further release the latest OS based
from the results. A list of HTC devices that will undoubtedly receive ICS:

• HTC Sensation (XL, XE, Original)
  
• HTC EVO 3D
  
• HTC Incredible S
  
• HTC Desire HD
  
• HTC Flyer
  
• HTC Rhyme
  
• HTC Desire S
  

There is still no approximate release date.
(after the appearance of this time) It may
take another 2-4 additional months for
integration with the shell sense. HTC,
certainly makes every effort to
provide an update for most
phones. Testing is in
process. Desire z and salsa coming out of
list for reasons of ease of use.

Phones released for cellular
operators like HTC Amaze 4G,
Thunderbolt, etc. will receive an update
later.

New devices, released after May
2011 will receive updates earlier
than old phones like
Desire hd

On our device came the long-awaited official update to Android 4 and Sense 3.6, information on how to install the update you will find in the topics on the firmware. But I want to warn you that the installation will deprive you of the possibility of warranty service.
Details on the restoration of the warranty (rollback to the original version), you can find in the topicFirmware.

Lads I bought here the other day HTC Sensation XE with preinstalled ICS and Sens 3.6. So, before leaving our (ie, now your) branch, I will say one thing, think a hundred times before upgrading to ICS! An inconvenient settings menu, primitive pop-up menus, but I haven’t yet seen the advantages and advantages. Turn in the hands in the store something with ICS and Sens 3.6, so you will not be disappointed. Until! It was nice to you ...

[enakievec]

OlNik_savagemessiahzine.com,
I have one s on ICS and Sense 4. It’s not familiar and not very convenient at the beginning. But after a week you get used to it and taking desire s in your hands, it becomes uncomfortable and unused.

[ddsoff]

Sens 4 is not 3.6, there are new fonts, visual design, but 3.6 is outwardly indistinguishable from 3.0, but I didn’t like the inside of ICS.

[THREE6MAFIA]

I'm leaving you. Today I returned the phone to the store, marriage.

[FOSTER16]

I connect the phone in drive mode to the computer, I start to drop files, after a while the phone spontaneously reboots, recently dropped files. USB flash drive 8GB 4 class. Does anyone observe the same? What is the problem ?

[yuroc7]

THREE6MAFIA,
What was the marriage?

[Konychev]

When the phone is connected to the computer, it hangs tightly (it does not respond to the buttons \ combination of buttons at all), the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. The phone is 10 months old, there were no problems before. Are there options other than XP?

[sulimoff]

Konychev,
try another cable, another usb port, another computer

Hello everyone, I have not written here for a long time. I didn’t find the search engine, tell me how you can change it, but it’s better to turn off the melody completely when the phone starts (when you turn it on) There is no Root right. Thank.

[cissea]

How do I know that the call is on call forwarding?
Standard android tools or using third-party programs.
Earlier on the dialers, either the curved arrow was either written redirected.

Gentlemen, there is another question, or rather the problem.
If I have the GSM / UMTS network mode in the settings, then after long conversations the phone restarts, if only GSM is installed, then everything is OK, but, accordingly, the Internet works very slowly. My operator is Megaphone Spb., This SIM card is fresh. A couple of pages ago, people wrote that through the menu * # * # 4636 # * # * and in the information about the phone you need to put Unknown and everything will be fine. I did this operation, but the phone continues to reboot and when you re-enter this menu, it is already on WCDMA perferred. Can someone tell me how to overcome this glitch ??? Thanks in advance.

[s_mark]

Cooler666,
I was helped by the replacement of the SIM card, also Megaphone St. Petersburg. There was an old one - rebooted, gave a new one - everything is OK, 3g works.

[Cooler666]

s_mark,
I changed my SIM card already three times and still the phone reboots.

How to make the battery charge level displayed on the regular icon in the upper bar? I know about Battery Indicator.

How to make the battery charge level displayed on the regular icon in the upper bar?

On the staff, in my opinion, nothing. Non-standard - Battery Notifier (Big Text), for example. I really like. Small and without glitches for a year.

[Rim 82]

Cooler666,
The case may still be in the memory card, try changing the operator for a while and see what happens! And what is your firmware now?
