Sure would also be nice to be able to disable Carrier IQ.

I installed the Bitdefender Carrier IQ finder and it said "Carrier IQ found" which sucks. Coming from a Nexus One and open source based ROMs I haven't had to worry about carrier and government snooping crap like Carrier IQ.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sh!mon:
Agreed. I had the mytouch3gslide before the Amaze and did not have any battery issues with that phone. I can't get through a day on the Amaze without recharging at least once, sometimes I have to charge twice. I've never installed a ROM and am nervous to unlock bootloader and void warranty. Starting to think if I should take back the Amaze...

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

Just checked and past the 14 day window so guess I'm stuck with this overpriced battery drain. I love the phone, but the battery life is the worst I have ever experienced.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vzontini:
Interesting because I'm trying to break in the battery by draining it every day and I have a hard time getting it down. I have to set the screen on for hours, play a game for a while or something. If I use it normally it lasts a day and a half. I must be a light user.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Are you sure you're using the same phone as everyone else?
[HTC Amaze 4G] sh!mon:
yeah for real...
[HTC Amaze 4G] slidert:
i must say that i had the same issue with my amaze.

but after installing the new stock rom with the new radio and karnel, the battery is having a way better battery life then before...
[HTC Amaze 4G] sh!mon:
Which new stock rom, etc?
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
He may be in an area with very very good coverage. I know at home if not on wifi calling even though I show a good "4G" signal, the battery stats tell a different story, the signal bar is mostly yellow, not green. This has the unfortunate side effect of draining my battery much quicker. I'm very happy that my wait for wifi calling was under 2 weeks from when I got my phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
I see that xboarder has a debloater download in one of his threads. I am wondering how does it work, and will it keep the phone stock... any issues? Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
it just removes the bloat ware you flash it in recovery and bam bloat ware gone :D dont even need root just a recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
And there are no issues like no wifi etc? Just removes the bloatware? Does it remove it or stops it from working so to say, emarginates it...

I'm a noob :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Removes it all

replied to wrong comment. People need to calibrate their batteries properly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vzontini:
Yesterday I unplugged the phone at 7:30am and got the 15% warning at 1:00am. I was downloading updates from the Market and it was down to about 10% by 1:30am when I went to bed. I've only had the phone a week but what seems to kill the battery for me is the screen time. The standby time is good.

Are you guys doing lots of network network checks like constantly updating Twitter, Facebook, stock ticker, etc.? I have a synced Google account but I keep my other stuff set to check once every few hours or have automatic updates disabled entirely. I just manually refresh the content when I open the app or when I want it (with Facebook, Plume, and Pulse it is a simple "pull down and release" action to refresh). With "instant" Gmail and texts I find I don't need anything else polling since I can always get notifications I need via email or text. YMMV but I'm not having an issue making it through a 16 hour day.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
This method doesn;t hide the apps in my apps list..
[HTC Amaze 4G] vzontini:
Here is a pic of my phone after a day and a half off the charger. I was surfing and downloading apps the last bit so it was awake more than it was most of the time. I took the shot right after the 10% warning popped. This was light use with email, texts, a few calls, and a bit of surfing and google maps, but 36 hours is pretty good IMO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Android1126:
Nice. Mine is similar.

Guys,

I’ve read this thread and few others.

Could somebody confirm my thinking, please?

I want to disable (not uninstall) Bloatware

pm disable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT | Titanium Backup Pro freeze

both above required [temp] root

temp root no longer works as of the OTA update

I want to keep warranty - so I have to use temp root

Is there a way to do it without breaking warranty? :confused:

-----------

Update:

Looks like there is no way:

1. htcdev.com tracks unlock requests, most likely.

2. Relocked bootloader will show up as "Relocked", not as "Locked"

-----------

Update:

2a. Apparently, it's possible to get bootloader back into "Locked" state.

[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
The Nexus is tempting (as was Nexus S). But I'm going to stick with my good old Evo 4G. When it came out, it was the 1st superphone and so far ahead of its time that its still not outdated. My phone does everything I need and ICS will breathe new life into it. I don't think any of the new dual core phones are that much better.

My next upgrade will be to a 28mm SoC with integrated LTE that finally gives decent battery life on 4G.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
I'm with you, but i do find it very hard not to get sucked into all of the constant hype around here. It is also tough when the devs you like start moving and you feel like you should follow with them. The EVO is still a great phone
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
Not outdated? Are you joking?

*Weak, single core processor. Dual core procs perform better. Period.

*Terrible, god awful graphics processor. Can't play any decent 3D games properly.

*Weak camera

*Terrible battery

*Average/Below average screen. Blacks aren't really black, resolution is low.

The Evo was(is?) a nice phone, but saying that it isn't outdated is a straight-up lie.
[EVO 4G General] rovertech1:
I was just thinking the same thing...the evo has been the one phone that I haven't gotten bored with even though I've had it since July of last year :D It was much more fun on Sprint but even on Metro (to save money) it's still a great device.
[EVO 4G General] Pao23:
It's still better then what 90% of people out there have, quit being melodramatic.
[EVO 4G General] locoboi187:
I moved on to the Epic Touch only because I cracked the screen to a million pieces. EVO is an excellent phone and I miss the ROMs but this epic is an amazing phone. We have development going on and it's getting there but I honestly feel like there's a black hole without my EVO haha idk. And don't get sucked into that LOS problem. If your not stupid, you'll figure it out.
[EVO 4G General] ejc1214:
I keep going and checking out the new phones and honestly, I have not found another phone to WOW me just yet. I have had mine since almost release day and with MikG ROMs, it runs great for everything I want to do. The dual 1.2 might be faster but not that much faster for what I use it for. I can email, text and watch Netflix on it. Ohe yeah, i make calls too! What should a smart phone do?

I will look at the real HTC EVO2 when it comes out but until them, I will keep my EVO!
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
I use my Evo every day despite having numerous more advanced devices. Mostly as a hotspot. But after using lots of dual core devices, man....you're clueless if you really think the dual cores aren't a massive upgrade. Evo was a bomb phone at the time, but at the rate tech advances....using my Evo the same day as my G2x or EpicTouch is painful. Every single interaction is slow as hell.

But it definitely holds a place in my heart and is definitely my overall fav of the phones I've own(ed).
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
Without the Evo, we wouldn't have the 4"+ size as the minimum standard for smartphones, 4G and so much else which is now common. Also it is one of the best supported phones in the dev community, and will be for a while. I can't wait to see what ICS will look like on it.

There is a night and day difference between a stock Evo and a rooted one with a nice Aosp rom like decks/Miui. I honestly don't feel like its slow and I use it for a ton of stuff, except 3d games.

For 99% of people, its more phone than they need, even today. That is not outdated. Not everyone wants to buy the top of the line greatest device, right?

Question for people who moved on - did you notice better reception, gps, or battery life? Besides performance, that's what matters most.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Even though part of me really wants a new phone, for most things, I am satisfied with the EVO.

Part of me kind of wants to wait for mid next year in order to really appreciate the upgrade from my EVO to what will likely be a quad-core beast......imagine the jump in speed upgrading from a single-core to quad, heh.
[EVO 4G General] Neitmrh15:
The Evo is way outdated in the numbers game, but it does everything I need and has a sweet kickstand.

This was also the first and likely only smart phone to wow me. When I first got into smart phones I had my G1 and was familiar with other devices like iPhone but the Evo blew me away the first time I saw one.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
My only reason to upgrade was to not lose my upgrade. I bought a phone that I know will sell for big dollars.

I sort of like it now...it's a great phone for when I don't have time to screw with android.
[EVO 4G General] Shidell:
The Evo is far from outdated. Despite it's age, it's hardware is still more than competent.

Yes, new CPUs may have improved instruction sets and/or optimizations to take advantage of, but the Snapdragon in the Evo is still hearty enough to run Android just fine. Although the Adreno 200 GPU is not a monster in the 3D department, it still leverages more than enough for almost any application, including most games.

Ice Cream Sandwich will take advantage of hardware acceleration, which will get more from the Adreno 200 than we ever have before, and should actually make Android run faster and be less CPU-intensive than previous iterations of Android.

The EVO, although dated, is still a strong device. Sure, we all have a desire to upgrade, and if you don't want the Galaxy Nexus you're lying--but honestly, there is little real reason to upgrade. ICS is going to run like a top on the Evo, and reinvigorate most user's experiences with their devices.
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
The EVO was my first smartphone, and I can say im probably gonna hang onto it for a while more. It does everything I need!
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Until Sprint launches the upcoming Nexus, I'm happy because of two words: Boot Manager. I have five ROMs that I flow through... Can't beat it.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
When I buy a new phone, the decision is not 'is this better than my current phone?'. It's 'is this phone good enough to last the next 2 years?'.

Evo passed that test. The Nexus does not. esp not at the $300 price point.
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Really at a conundrum though. I love the development of HTC phones. The Nexus intrigues me, but the lack of ROM development for Nexus phones (outside of Cyanogen variants and Miui) makes me wonder if I will get bored.
[EVO 4G General] droiddawg:
I would miss my EVO a lot when it comes time to upgrade. Gonna hang out as long as I can. The EVO design isn't too much of an upgrade in my opinion, the EVO 3d really catches my eye but the 3d would just be a novelty played out quickly. The photon is wierdly shaped lol and the epic touch is too thin in my opinion. Just my opinion, don't flame me but I feel like I would break it in my hands.

I'm personally gonna wait to see if HTC releases anything else exciting since I'm not due for an upgrade for another year anyways.

[EVO 4G General] hevyrockerdk:
While the processor is only a single core, it still flies in my book. Waiting for a quad core phone... Whew.

The GPU may not be the best, but it does what I ask of it, and that's what matters. I haven't had any problems with 3D.

I'm still amazed by the fact that they put an 8 MP camera in a phone.

The battery life only sucks if you leave it completely stock and don't root it. Find the right ROM and kernel and battery life is dramatically increased.

The HVGA display is plenty of resolution for a phone. My blacks are black and my colors are bright...

I have a question for you...are you sure we're taking about the same phone? Because I'm pretty sure I'm in an EVO 4G thread.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Agreed the screen is decent ics will make this a better phone hopefully also with support for all newer phones for 18 months and no one having yearly upgrades better second guess what outdated is cause everyone is going to have to have their phone for 20 months EVO came out what 2q last year? Also sgsii is 6 months old+ just cause the US was the last to get it makes it behind lol.
[EVO 4G General] Badious:
What a random question...
[EVO 4G General] mawst95:
I agree with the OP for the most part. I switched to the Epic SGS2 for 3 weeks but returned it and went back to my EVO.

The two big differences/advantages to me were boot time and screen. The SGS2 smokes the evo in these two areas (though I did find the SGS2 screen to have unnatural colors at low brightness).

But my ASOP EVO set up how I want it works comparably to my SGS2 in most of my common situations --calls, texts, gtalk, web, rss reader. The UI (go launcher) works nearly as well on the EVO. I don't 3D game on my phone.

My opinion is that a phone is only as fast as its slowest component. For me--since most of what I do involves data/internet--the slowest component is Sprint's network. Dual core this, Mali GPU that, doesn't mean sh-- if both phones are pulling <300kb/s.

That said, even on WIFI my experience with the SGS2 was one of incremental improvement, rather than revolutionary improvement. I also believe that gingerbread isn't fully unleashing the power of dual core cpus (again your phone is only as fast as the slowest link--in this case the OS).

To me, the revolutionary improvements will be LTE (advanced?), HD screens, ICS, and maybe advances in power efficiency. That reminds me, battery on SGS2 stock is as good or better than a fully tweaked ASOP EVO in my experience.

Lastly, my SGS2 was stock and was never rooted. I experience LOS several times. I missed calls and texts because of it. Simply put, I didn't trust my phone. I don't care if it's infrequent, if you don't trust your phone's core function as a communication device, than what good is it. Rooting possibly exacerbates LOS it seems.

Other asides: SGS2 fit and finish is superior to EVO, IMHO. A rooted ASOP epic touch SGS2 may vastly increase the performance differential between the two phones, but that's in the future. These are my impressions between my EVO Cyanogen ASOP and my epic touch stock.

If you game or do some other activity which is CPU/GPU limiting, than maybe the SGS2 is a better fit. For me, I'm saving my upgrade for a future phone that has what, for me, will be the revolutionary upgrades I mentioned above.

I have my EVO tweaked to the point that I'm quite satisfied. So, I'm of the same opinion re my upgrade.

I just love the evo line-up. I did upgrade to the 3d because i had the chance but if i didnt i would still be rocking old faithful lol.
[EVO 4G General] r3a1ist:
The prob is sprint is releasing 13 LTE phones on 2012, the current gs II will not be compatible with future networks, premier is gone and u're literally going to be up ****s creek without a paddle unless u want to cough up the extra dough to upgrade early on be forced to throw that beast gs II into the drawer to die slowly, sprints in transition and their phones need to catch up first

[EVO 4G General] bonebeany:
I agree with Evo4gLI. I wont give up my evo until I can get 4g lte.

I still never imagined sprint even thinking about bringing ijunk on their network.

What a joke.
[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
Probably only major issue I had / have with my evo is the camera getting all weird because it's coming out of the phone which causes some weird ass colors to show but meh, a quick press of my finger on it and it's good as new. :)
[EVO 4G General] hevyrockerdk:
You don't happen to be in New Orleans, do you?

Kidding, of course, but honestly I'd just be happy to have a 4G phone in an area that has any kind of 4G coverage. This place has absolutely none. I'd activate my EVO on Verizon if I could, then maybe I'd be completely satisfied with it.

Network aside, my phone still kicks plenty of ass. But your phone is only as strong as it's weakest link, in my case, it's the horrible Sprint network.
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
And here lies the conundrum. I was all set to jump to the Galaxy SII after reading all the hype. I was well past my Premiere update and ready to pull the trigger. Then Sprint drops the bomb re: LTE. I personally cannot afford to spend the $600+ no upgrade price for a phone. If I upgraded now, I would be on the outside looking in at the LTE lineup for 2 years POed because I was too anxious to wait. If Sprint hadn't killed the early upgrade options I'm sure I would have moved on by now. So yeah, the best strategy for me is to wait until spring 2012 and see what's on the horizon. For now I think I can suffer with good ROMs and kernel combinations to keep my Evo chugging until then.
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
Yea, I'll be waiting for a good world phone with lte, because Wimax just doesn't cut it with coverage.

Don't get me wrong the 4g was a great phone. I still have a few I play on and check out new roms. However i was able to get a 3d without losing an upgrade through insurance because my screen was shattered. I do miss my 4g to an extent but the 3d is way faster in every aspect, plain and simple. Everything runs smoother and I've experienced zero lag. I don't really care about the "3d" aspect of the phone and I know the A8 dual cores are better but what I need it for it flies. If I'm gonna game ill go the ps3 or xbox route...
[EVO 4G General] madigan82:
I have been tempted to get a new phone. In the 7 months before I bought the evo, I had 8 different phones. But all the phones that have been coming out have fallen short. GSII on Sprint doesn't have an NFC chip. iPhone 4S doesn't have 4G or NFC. Nexus Prime's screen is too large (the evo's is just a tad shy of being too large for me and would like one around 4"). These newer phones are nice and are a lot more powerful but for me, Cut the Rope and Twitter work just fine. The only area that I'm really disappointed in is the evo's camera.
[EVO 4G General] King_Louie:
I love my evo4g!!!

Main reasons... huge developer fan base (I have right now about 5 roms that I love), I still don't feel it as being outdated, and I get pretty good 4g coverage.

Other reasons... I doubt that I switch out my evo until the dust settles with the wimax and LTE and until they make next gen evo with quad core.

just my two cents
