Tiamat 1.1.2 with MIUI 1.9.2. Battery drain is normal. Can underclock to 192MHz and OC to 2GHz if you dare. ohmy.gif It supports volt changing too.

Yea i don't OC myself. Just underclock and undervolt a bit. But doesn't seem to give much effect.

MIUI is pretty and has useful built in apps. No app drawer so you have to put them in folders.

I like CM7 for the CM settings. MIUI don't have that.

Just try both. See what you like and maybe stick with it. tongue.gif

MIUI quite nice. Have some unique apps built in and everything is coated nicely with their unique style and sorting. And you can still use widgets unlike iOS. tongue.gif

Hm SD Tools seems a bit dodgy and the file size is too small to test.

So i tried SD Card Tester. Seems more consistent and i can choose the file size to test.

Compared to the stock Sandisk 8GB Class 4, the Patriot 16GB Class 10 writes almost twice as fast. Read is only slightly faster.

Don't pull out battery if you can. Might fry the eMMC chip and brick your phone.

Use the power + vol up down instead.

If you still love Sense, better stick with Sense based ROM. Lots of choices from 2.1, 3.0 & 3.5. Otherwise you can try CM based ROMs or MIUI.

I also dunno. Never tried. I quite like MIUI now. But you can just refer to this thread for reference.

No more echo sound when calling? Switch to sense 3.0 Rom recently.

Everything seems fixed. Also, it seems there will be official MIUI for Desire S soon. Great news after official support from Cyanogen. smile.gif

Anyone using a 16GB SDHD Class 10 in the Desire S?

I'm using Patriot 16GB Class 10. Speed is close to advertised.

QUOTE(ngkhanmein @ Oct 28 2011, 04:42 PM)
what is the cons on desire S?

got any issue pls kindly stated?

Some people maybe got some quality issues. And some maybe have eMMC fried chip issue after pulling battery. Seems to mostly affect those with Samsung chip. People with Sandisk chip like me seems luckier. Wifi signal go down if you cover your hand at the top back. That seems to affect everyone but it's not really a big deal.

Underrated maybe because of the size. Most people have moved on to 4" and above. wink.gif
