You don't happen to be running an app that shuts it off at certain times or in certain locations?
Mine turns off my wi-fi for me at 1am and re-enables it at 7am...

Installed ICS today, and loving it so far!
The phone feels much quicker and more responsive, and the ability to group apps into folders is a massive improvement.
One thing I can't work out at the moment, is how to change keyboard type.
By default it has the qwerty keyboard selected, and I can't find where to change it to phone keypad style (or even how to turn on text prediction).
I'm sure it's there somewhere...but I can't find it.
Can anyone enlighten me?

Are you talking about T9? There isn't one on ICS. Have you tried Swype? I can't use a touchscreen phone without it now...

The stock sensation/android keyboard now has a swype style addition ... maybe worth looking in your options if your running ICS and see if it's there before installing swype

On the keyboard style front, I picked up Swiftkey in the sale a few months ago but have only just got around to using it. It's very good. I don't think it's the first keyboard that reads your text messages to predict your next word (i.e you type 'see' it suggests 'you' and then 'later' if that's a phrase you've used before) but it is the most intelligent and accurate I've come across so far.
ICS is brilliant. The only slight niggle I've got is that on the unlock screen I want to change the default messenger for Handcent. I believe that should be Menu>Launcher Settings>Drawer, but nothing in there works. Hopefully that'll be updated in the not too distant future.

In Apps, use the 'Evervolv' app to alter the lockscreen. You can custom-map the three actions.

Can anyone on ICS recommend a good ad-blocker.
I used to use AdFree before upgrading, and it worked very well, but it doesn't seem to do the job with ICS.

It works for you on ICS? ICS on the Sensation, yes. Also worked well on GB on the Desire, but you do need to be S-OFF.

Blimey, this is very confusing!
I have a rooted Desire, currently running ICS, having HBOOT version 0.93.0001 and ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
Unfortunately it is still S-ON.
Is there a simple way of going S-OFF based on what I have already done to my phone.
I can't find a thread on XDA developers which doesn't involve the whole rooting/custom ROM installation process, and which doesn't scare me.

You must be running a stock HTC ROM to use Revolutionary to get S-OFF. You could Nandroid your ICS and then flash a stock ROM, go S-OFF and then restore your ICS Nandroid backup.
I'm in the same position and wondering whether it's worth the hassle. I am pretty much tuned to ignore the ads completely now. The whole process shouldn't take more than about half an hour to do though.

What the hell does S-on and S-off mean exactly? I've seen it all over the place but never understood what it is meant to do.

I used http://alpharev.nl/ to S-OFF my Desire. Simple and quick. From there: Alpharev said: HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has
it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC.
The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security.
Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.

I'm running ICS on my Desire... keep reading references to using gparted to create an ext4 partition to resolve the space issues - can someone link me to a guide?
