[HTC Amaze 4G] trizzle21:
Yup my does when I apply a lot of pressure on the capacitive buttons but that was me testing it out after reading your post. Because they don't need that much pressure to pick up what am trying to do its almost not a problem?
[HTC Amaze 4G] trizzle21:
This phone is blazing but I had to do a battery pull because the phone frozen on me. I wish their was a button combination we could to restart if phone is non responsive like on my iphone, does anybody have light leakage on bottom of phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] trizzle21:
Dude am with you on that one. I really like my amaze even with all these problems. I've always like htc phones because of their heft and build quality (almost), what I don't understand is why a company like apple which just jump into the phone business make perfect quality phone. No light leakage or bleed or dust under screen i return my iphone 4 several time just to see if I could get a mess up phone but the were all perfect. I had to lie Obviously but htc makes great phone but each one of them all have the same Issue users been complaining about for a long time it's as if they don't care. If nokia or even (can't believe am saying that because I hate samsung plastic phones) samsung start making good android phones I would stop buying htc phones until they get their act together stop releasing same phone every month and on making one good super phone with no hardware issues. It's the only thing I like about apple one good phone a year. The only. Perfect htc phone was my hd2 but htc hero some much dust under screen and Thunderbolt dead pixel dust under screen same with sensation. But still love my htc amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] superrskillz:
loving the htc amaze.

my first one was perfect, but i switched it out due to the soft key bleed.

2nd one had the same issue and when i would press home, it would have the white screen with "htc brilliantly" or w/e it says.. :p

this 3rd one has a slight bleed all around but can't tell unless you tilt the phone and look at it for so long..

and also has the soft button bleed that every single htc amaze phone has..

i would say this phone is amaze'ing.

a lot of the users writing these reviews got all of the first devices out.

just like every new device, the newest ones will have the most defects.

everything in technology has these issues.

i had the galaxy, galaxy s 4g, and they had a lag to them.

the Amaze has almost no lag whatsoever,

and i LOVE it!

ill pick up a galaxy s 2 off craigslist in a few months and i'll do a comparison.

:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] microamd:
my problem so far

1. internet browser wont work as desktop mode. Always on Mobile mod. eventhough I did the about:debug setup.

2. white line bleed on the bottom edge of the screen.

3. No wifi-calling, No signal..

amazon send me an exchange and so far its much better than the first one. No white line bleed. but everything is the same..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Tanvirul:
galaxy

i have a new galaxy s 2 im willing to trade for a amaze, i really need a dedicated camera button, i can meet up anywhere in new york city, email me if anyone is interested lurivnat@gmail.com
[HTC Amaze 4G] spiz516:
The SIM card thing isn't true. TMo sales reps are retarded with these phones and not invested enough in their career... so irritating. I have the new SIM card and that's not the case... it's been said to come with an update early Novemeber.

To the OP: I have all of the same problems, and then some. My soft touch buttons don't even light up most of the time, but when they do, they bleed is awful.

Not very amazing if you ask me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrischoi:
No. That doesn't sound so promising...
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
The reason why Apple products have very little to no defects compared to other phone manufacturers is because Apple focus remains on one phone (the iPhone) compared to Samsung, HTC etc. Samsung, HTC etc release thousands of different phones a year in a short time so its almost like quantity over quality whereas Apple limit releasing a million different iPhone designs per year to make sure they get their product perfect and well polished.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebocioj:
you need the sim card so when the update is launched your wifi calling will work properly. so it seems you dont know what your talking about. why would t-mobile release a new sim card specifically for the amaze, gs2 for nothing
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
You still need the new SIM to use wifi-calling. Just wait until the update comes and you'll see. My phone has wifi-calling and I needed to use the new SIM to get it to work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] solrac.dc:
I have been reading this thread and I do agree with folks to go ahead and try out both but if you own a Nexus S which is made by Samsung and have stuck with that phone even with others out there......go with the SGS2!!! Have a friend in your same situation and she decided on the S2 and is verrrrrrrry happy.

On that note, the beauty of owning the latest phones is that if you get bored you can always trade and try the next best thing :D :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] mt3g:
Sorry To resurrect

So, my friend has the Amaze 4g, he is coming from G1, G2, now he has this phone and he wants his G1 back... JK, but seriously he is having so many issues with it the list starts here.

He has over heating issues that cause restarts and his led light to flash weird colors orange green red all at once... The phone actually gets up to 120 degrees... It wont let him charge the phone it just shows an exclamation point and then battery jumps from 80% to 10% then 40% all while just sitting in his hand... He does not have many apps on his phone just the regular stuff: Facebook, Twitter, Draw something, Ringdroid... no fart apps or anything weird that I've noticed and well I've been doing custom roms and rooting phones for people and stuff since the G1 days.

Right now he has about 15 apps on his phone and it is saying he is out of internal storage only has 30-45 mb free, it'll jump back and forth without him even doing anything. He can't open Talk right now, had him wipe cache and data reboot the phone everything I could think of besides a factory reset, which he has done already... Overall I'm curious to know if anyone has seen any of these issues... He loves the phone and HTC and refuses to let me root the phone and remove the bloatware or even put a custom rom on it lol... One of those people. so if anyone has any thing that they can add to maybe help the situation, that'd be awesome. My thoughts are a bad battery and needs a new phone overall, is T-Mobile still issuing replacements on this phone?? I have the G2X right now and they won't do anything for people with my phone except offer a galaxy S, poopy!

Thanks for any input except for call T-Mobile or root the phone for him and just get rid of sense lol... I tried to tell him to do that, we are probably going to T-Mobile tomorrow to get it all taken care of just wondering if the community had any advice to why this is happening so that we can possibly fix the issue...
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Sounds like he needs a warranty replacement.

My Amaze has been perfect for the most part. Almost every Amaze has the light bleed....

I don't have hardly any issues these people have mentioned in this very thread. I must have gotten lucky? Been 2 plus months so far.

Goes to knock on wood!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mt3g:
Ya that's what I'm thinking too, cause of the serious overhear issue might have caused some more issues inside the hardware.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmancell:
I don't think I have any of the regular problems.

I have some service/connection issues but I believe that is related to Mobilicity. And if I do have a problem with my lights, it that they don't turn on often enough lol. Weird.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
same here. ive only ever had one random reboot, and i believe it to be caused by calibrating the battery. other than that, no issues unless i did something myself.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mt3g:
Ya he's just going to go get a replacement soon he almost let me root the new one when he gets it lol, I need some huge reinforcements what the developmentlike for you guys? I noticed you have faux, he is great for our G2X.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
development? basically non-existent, unless you like sense
[HTC Amaze 4G] kidrythm:
case creak, unless i close it on the bottom right first.

soft key bleed, screen filter app disables them.

worst data speeds still...6th ticket filed since november...they have been flooding me with discounts and deals...i want 20mbps down!!!!

no overheating, at least not like my hd2.

battery is good, data toggle off, never wifi.

speaker is OMG! puts my hd2 to shame...in call speaker is also better.

camera, yay!

video...meh.

qik...garbage...on my 2g only data stream...ugh.

go launcher cleans up my baby, and could not be happier.

the development for serious flashers is weak, but for me, xda polishes the rough edges left by T-MOHTC, I flash and stay put.

i had the most groundbreaking phone ever, with 134% development pushing roms out 24 hours a day, it's nice to kind of chill back now and just coast with a really nice smartphone.

just sayin'.

plus its exclusive to my motherland!

lol.

EDIT: My HD2 was gaaaarbage until I finally ran an sd rom, I do not dispute the issues mentioned here. I sympathize! The HD2 caused me to ditch winmo for this droid, htc almost got ditched also...but like a sweet BBW with a pretty face, I can't refuse some chubbs.

Wi fi works perfect!!!No problem!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] huracan_mery:
I got mine on Sunday and I've had one random restart. Also, I touched an icon on the right side of my screen and it would launch the app on the left side of the screen. Even highlighted the wrong app before launching it. It has only done this once.

Phone call volume at max is less than it was on my Samsung Vibrant but I usually use a headset so that is not a big deal.

Also several times it says it is connected to 4G network but I get slow or no connection, can't download apps from the Market or even Spotify will hang in the middle of a song.

Generally I am happy with the phone but I would definitely expect 4G speed if it shows it is connected to 4G network.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mt3g:
He did another factory reset installed app by app and has no issues at all now, my guess a rogue app even though if he doesn't like the application he gets rid of it... I'm guessing one was malware and left issues behind. If one issue reappears then he's going to take it back and get a replacement. thanks for the replies people.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RXDriv3r:
/cast Revive on thread.

:D

Ok so I dont feel like creating a new thread for this since it pretty much fits with this one. I searched but didnt really see anything to do with a problem I'm facing.

So down to the point, first off my Amaze is completely stock, no root, locked bootloader yadda yadda yadda. I've had the Amaze for about 5 months now, no real problem aside from the ones posted here(screen bleed, and the ocassional once every 2 weeks maybe once a month random reboot)

Recently the touchscreen on the phone is acting up, it just happened now for a third time in the last two months where I'm using it normally and all of a sudden the digitizer goes out on it and the touch doesnt work. I've tried the whole power + vol up reboot thing but while the phone is locked i guess it doesnt work because I always have to resort to the good 'ol battery pull.

Anyways, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I think I'm gonna be calling TMo tommorow to see what I gotta do for a replacement phone but the thing is I dont know if they'll replace it because once I battery pull the phone will work like normal for days, even weeks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
I have the same problem, and like you I can't get the problem to recreate itself. If you call and send it in then it should work. But I took mine to a store and she looked at me like I didn't know what I was doing.

"Next time try a battery pull"

Trick! I know this!

Anyways yeah, you should call, get a new one. No downside if you ask me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Splaktar:
Does this only happen when the USB or car charger is plugged in? Or when completely unplugged?

Some phone's touch screen's go berserk if on the charger and the power supply is bad or not plugged in well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
Nope, just regular ol' usage. In my case at least.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hyphydragon:
i lost my sensation and the insurance said we only have the amaze so here ya go.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
Happens to me too occasionally. It happens a lot when you turn the screen on while sleeping or when it loses signal and logs back on the 4g network.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dnslammers:
I have constant issues with random restarts/reboots. Its started when it was all stock.

I've one at a time changed the kernal, rom, battery, sd card, sim card and NOTHING has fixed the reboots.

The phone never gets hot like some say. Occasionally I see that it loses its signal and then reboots. Most of the time it just reboots when its sitting idle.

This morning its rebooted 4 times while it just sits on my desk doing nothing.

[HTC Amaze 4G] SirWizzAlot:
I've had the Amaze since launch and I've experienced random reboots, false charges, and whacky battery calibrations since. sometimes when I start my phone, despite having been fully charged, the battery icon will be displayed in all red, and will stay like that for 10-15 mins until the phone fixes itself. I've searched the forums for this and haven't stumbled across a diagnosis.
[HTC Amaze 4G] brentcizek:
Same problem here...except I've always been stock. Getting really annoying. Most the time when it reboots, the battery strength significantly drops.
[HTC Amaze 4G] supraman89:
The only thing i had a problem with it the flash ruining photos, it was an easy fix (piece of electrical tape in between the flash and the lens). Other than that i have absolutely no problems with it all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I also have the occasional digitizer free up and only thing that works is the good ole' fashion battery pull.

It will be fine for days, sometimes weeks and bam, freeze up! I don't really mine as a reboot is always good IMO. Now if it starts doing it everyday, then I am calling for a replacement.

Besides that and the very weak BT issue, I can't complain. I am still all stock 4 months in.

My mytouch4G was rooted and whatnot. Love that phone rooted, but stock was just okay to me. I don't feel the need to root just yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Agree about mt4g... It wasn't THAT nice until rooted, and when rooted, is probably STILL the best phone ever made (especially for it's time).

However, I went back to stock on the Amaze, and there IS DEFINITELY reason to root... I can start by listing all of the BLOAT removed from the stock ROM. I will say this though, the stock amaze ROM when rooted is the best that I've run thusfar.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mt3g:
My biddy factory reset his phone and problems got worse it seems, I told him to go to T-Mobile and get a new battery after that they will issue a new amaze if the phone keeps persisting with the issues... every phone/product for that matter, has its lemons.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] serjiolin:
Hi guys. Thanks everyone for the wonderful work you all do.

Today I wanted to try for the first time to flash some NAND stuff.

I installed cLK, then I thought it would have been better MAGLDR so i tried to install it just after cLK.

After the installation, the phone just does not show the MAGLDR boot screen. It stucks at the HTC green logo (of course i keep the power button pressed). The previous working WM rom does not boot.

The only solution i found, is to flash again a wimo rom through ruu_update, from the bootloader (i have hspl4), then I can begin again but MAGLDR will anyway not install properly.

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Sounds like yet another case of not having both spl 2.08.hspl AND an android compatible radio. (2.15.50 for example)

as comes up daily, magldr WILL NOT START without both those criteria filled. It will simply hang on the bootscreen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] serjiolin:
thanks for the info.

I had Spl 3.03, I understood that MAGLDR would require 2.08 or above. Radio, is exactely the 2.15.50. What should i do now?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
wrong, magldr requires 2.08.hspl ONLY. no other will work.

I am currently using System Info widget on my ATT Galaxy S2. While I like it a lot it doesnt show the memory status of the external sd card. I know this is because of how the OS manages the internal expanded memory, calling it sd card. So my question: is there any nice system info widget that can display the memory status of internal memory (referred to as sd card or usb memory) and my external sd card (ext_sd folder)?

This thread is informative with a question at the end.

Just to let you know there's plenty of useful binaries in the CM7 distro you can pull from system/xbin

including:

add-property-tag bash check-lost+found dbus-send hciconfig irssi lmptest opcontrol procmem rsync showmap su
agent bdaddr cpueater dexdump hcidump l2ping nano openvpn procrank scotest showslab tcpdump

avinfo bttest daemonize dropbear hstest latencytop netperf oprofiled rctest sdptest ssh vfp-crasher
avtest busybox dbus-monitor dropbearkey htop librank netserver powertop rfcomm sftp-server strace vim

Unfortunately it seems dropbear doesn't include X11 or -D dynamic socks port forwarding(-D option), it's just not in the source ( http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=2991&page=2 ). And I haven't managed to get any other ssh client to work. Have you had any other luck with any ssh clients? I've tried:

- BTEP ssh (can't connect to update server)

- sshTunnel (gets confused with a password prompt that isn't standard for one time passwords)

The idea is to get OperaMobile to connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 via Opera:config. (OperaMini doesn't support this), then you have a secure connection when on openwifi.
[Nook Touch General] Renfast:
Hi, I'm using SSH Tunnel, but with a local port, when I'm in the university, I only use it to connect to irc (localhost:1234)

am on xxjvs and am using touchwiz 3 with transparent app drawer

my free ram is always too low and my phone is laggy

this is some pics of my widgets and running services
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtluis:
Most probably widgets have nothing to do with lag, but the feed widget and some weather widget will drain you battery faster since they must be syncing a lot.

Normaly free ram is low most of times, because Android put apps there to load them faster when you need them, but running processes will in fact affect your phone performace, check out if there is anything running that you don't need and close it.

Just recently, I changed from custom roms to stock roms, and I think stock roms are a little more responsive.

You should try your apps and keep only the ones you need or use, anything else will just slow down your phone (and drain battery)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
Try using advanced task killer pro. In setting set kill mode to crazy. It automatically kills unused apps on screen lock.

Android starts to lag if RAM falls below 50MB. So, you should try removing some apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Android. Is. Not. Windows.

Android kills apps when it needs memory. If it doesn't need memory, it does not kill apps; if you do, it will relaunch apps—this is because it is more efficient to have apps cached in memory for when you want to use them, as opposed to relaunching the app every time you need it.

Killing apps does one thing: it causes the Android system to utilize free RAM by launching more apps. Doing so takes processing power, and does nothing but drain your battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtluis:
I've read this to be true, task killers are not a good idea on android, it is better to delete unused apps, or have them backed up with titanium in case you need them.
