This phone has issues too but I think they are much more tolerable than overheating, battery and signal issues. The Amaze has issues that most likely will never be fixed with software.

Meh... enjoy being able to fry an egg on your HTC phone & having to carry a charger with you everywhere you go.

This reminds me of waaaaay back in early 05 when I was devving for the Sidekick II. The Treo 650 had just been announced and I was sick of having to hack the hell out of my SKII just to get ringtones on it, so I was gung-ho to get a T650. I went to the Danger forums & posted a long rant just like this about how much I hated the SKII & how I was gonna get the T650 as soon as I got paid. Lets just say that we've been MUCH nicer to the OP here than the Sidekick crew was to me xD Their general (and cleaned up) response was "don't let the door hit you in the ass, *****". Granted, I WAS happier with the Treo, but yeah... bashing a device IN that device's home forum- not the best idea! lol...

I hate HTC phones...I'M on a pos evo .4g right now because i sold my galaxy s vibrant for sgs 2....I love samsung phones and super amoled...Cya and dont let the door hit ya on the way Out!

[HTC Amaze 4G] bskim23:
I'm sick of HTC. I've had the N1, MT4G, and the Sensation ALL with some type of dust under the screen problem with the sensation being the worst (which is why I got rid of it as soon as I noticed and picked up the SGS2 and am damn happy about it). I did love those phones, especially the beloved N1, but I can't stand seeing that dust when the screen was off or if I used a dark wallpaper. The only thing I do miss is the qHD and CM7, but the SAMOLED makes up for the screen and cyanogen himself said CM is being worked on already for the 989, so I'm pretty stoked for that too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I wasn't bashing samsung, actually, I love their screen they just didn't make the best out of it. I own a bunch of samsung stuff, like i said, this is the first thing that has dissapointmed me.I love their galaxy tab 10.1, beats the hell out of all the motorola and htc onces, and they don't even come close and neither does the ipad...I own a samsung TV which I love is better than any other TV I have compared it to when I bought it....when I had my N1 my brother got a samsung vibrant a while later and I remember not liking that either still liked my htc nexus one, it's probably the best phone I've ever owned next to the sony ericsson w810i ... at the time I never saw any difference between the super amoled and my amoled on my N1 in sunlight, actually I felt the N1 amoled screen was better...guess its just personal preference... Yes I have heard about the battery life and the phone getting hot...but updating the phone to software 1.36.531.6 has resolved those issues...There's no denying that an LCD will draw more power than an amoled. But in putting the phone on lowest brightness seems to create horizontol lines on my sgs2 and the colors are not vibrant any more...no pun intended... I like the qhd super lcd low light much better. I don't know is it just me? or does everything seem just way too big?? maybe some people like that about it. I don't know...either way, If I don't like the amaze when I get it...I'm not going back to the sgs...I'm going to just pay like 60 bucks to fix my old N1 until something better comes out. I just hate the stupid restocking fee's which will make me go down 100 bucks.

You are going to pay full price for a sensation... Whoops, I mean amaze???... you should probably buy it on Craigslist, I see them all the time for $300 or so, and A TON OF PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO,TRADE THEIR AMAZE FOR A T989... they'll even throw in cash.. Can't go wrong there.

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I wasn't sure he was serious at first. But he is. Why so serious? This whole hate thread belongs in the belongs in the amaze forum. Why do you think we would even want to read a never ending sentence. On how you hate the galaxy s2.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

If you wanted feedback just ask for the pro and cons over the device. Not start off I hate the device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Rekzer:
After seeing how the Amaze has like no Dev's, and actually seeing the crappy device in the store with its washed out screen and weird lighting issues, ill stick with my GS2. Ive never liked HTC products, they feel heftier, but they are actually way more easy to shatter. I had an HTC loaner phone for a while when my old phone broke and it was a frustrating 2 weeks lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] safeplayer22:
The only thing and I mean the only thing that the Amaze has over TM-SG2 is the camera.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Cant we give this guy some useful info that compares the phones instead of flaming him. More importantly those who have used both phones for more than just a day. Yes it was a long rant, but even so we should be helping him stay with the sgs2 so that he doesnt regret it in the future.

OP if I used the amaze for more than an hour I would give some info. Hope you find some better comparisons, but I really do hear that the temps and signal can get really bad.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tigerz0202:
The t-989 is the best phone ive ever owned next to my HD2(rip),i fricking love my GS2 .Screen so bright ,Camera is good enough to not ever wanna go back to force closes on a regular basis with sense, i used to be HTC fanboy mainly because of HD2 but my sensation utterly dissapointed me and after 5 returns i got sick of it ,seemed like i was returning it as much as i was changing roms, Amaze is sensation with a gig of RAM ,nothing special and sense bogs the phone down so much its pathetic.used to love it but after my t-989 im never going back to htc unless they get rid of sense
[HTC Amaze 4G] barondebxl:
Why do you wanna hear people opinions, you obviously hate the phone its not like their going to change your mind. Return it and get the amaze. If i hated that phone like you did i wouldnt mind paying the restocking fee. Its better than to keep something you dont like. As for me, the SGSII is the beat phone ive ever owned.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
The only thing I can see is he hates the big icons there big but not as big as he he claims. The amaze 4g is advertised as the best camera phone. Sg2 as a multimedia device. Also I had a mytouch 4g it does not take better pictures than the sg2. Your settings may be messed up or you got a defective device. Also I had a nexus one the pictures were sub-par on that device as well.

The contact screen has a search bar on top of that you can even use the samsung voice talk to call without even going into contacts. All htc speakers are inferior to the galaxy s2. Literally none of htc speakers have even been close to decent on android phones. Dedicated buttons are useless they will most likely not make it into future phones. That have ics.

Touchwiz is much lighter than sense. Sense only has some better things like widgets which are replaceable. Camera software again replaceable with apps. Sense is prettier than touchwiz I give you that.

The performance is superior sense bogs the processor down a lot. The amaze 4g has tons of hardware problems which can't be fixed by software so when you get the device your getting half working device out the box. You must have small hands if the device bothers you that much. Also if the resolution is hardly different from 800x480. I change my font to something small and light and i can read the whole web pages in overview without having to be close to my phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] barondebxl:
I keep reading the comments so i guess ill give you my opinion. First of all im a little bit of an htc fan boy, i loved the mytouch 4g it was my fav phone before the gs2. Then the sensation came... Honestly that was the worst experience on a phone ever. Battery life was awful, had to return 3 of them because of lag and the ring to unlock wasnt responsive. If lets say i never bought the sensation and the amaze and the gs2 would come out tomorrow, i think i would have gone with the amaze because like i said im a fan boy... But that would have been a mistake. Now what i like on the sensation which is similar on the amaze is the screen resolution, sense is very nice no doubt and htc offers good support on their phone. At first when i turned on my brand new gs2 my impressions where like DAMN the screen is beautiful but everything is too damn big, but after a while i got used to it and now when i look at a qhd screen im like DAMN!!! Everything is so small!!!! But knowing what i know now i would choose the sgs2 over the amaze a million time because of better battery life, amazing screen, light weight, build quality (hell yeah) larger screen, unlock bootloader, great dev community behind itand faster. I dont care for camera on my pho e i never use it so thats just me but i still like a decent camera on my phone and the gs2 offers that. But again what matters is what you like if you hate the gs2, then i strongly suggest you go for the amaze. I know 99% of people here are very happy with their phone. Deuces.
[HTC Amaze 4G] unlvmike:
Please man, you are trolling the eff out of the SGS2. You not once asked for any opinions and just complained like a whiny little kid. Learn to be say things that don't come off as a douche. That is all. Happy trolling.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sensationalism:
Issues

Wow. What an essay. Sounds more like an emotional response. GS2 is frustrating you or something, so the grass is greener?

Both the Amaze and the GS2 are great phones. Unfortunately, the Amaze doesn't deliver on a very basic level - the video records horrible sound. This is part of the reason I returned my Sensation. HD imagine w/ LD sound.

Both devices have pluses and minuses the other doesn't, but this is a very basic function. The video playback sound is unacceptable. My 4-year old Nokia does a better job.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tigerz0202:
well you got what you asked for , if i said the amaze is soooo much better and the camera is sooo much better and the amaze has soooo much better build quality and touchwiz sucks compared to sense and blah blah blah, would you be happy. tell you what please buy an amaze so we never see you again
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I agree with op. I mean, look at the screen on the gs2, with its vibrant colors and sexy body. Compare that to the amaze and its washed out colors and ugly as hell body, you'd want the gs2 too.

Wait, I see what I did there.

Op must be shallow hal and sees everything as opposite.

A lot of people know I'm found of writing a lot, but Jesus man.

I have quite a few photographer friends who are quite snobby about pictures. I'm talking about people who bring their dslr when we go bowling so they can document our drunken outing because the rest of us snapping impromptu shots on our phones are just inadequate. A few weeks ago I took this phone to Sedona Arizona and the pictures it took were awesome. Now don't get me wrong, they're not dslr quality but my photo elitist friends were impressed and still do not believe those pictures are from a phone.

Thanks for posting your dissertation, however, it's to long to read......return the phone if you don't like it. No need to inform us.
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
Exactly. Its like he's trying to get our blessing/permission to switch phones. I know that most people will be biased towards the Galaxy S II vs Amaze since this is the GS2 section but the Amaze has issues that is just not tolerable for me. Why would anyone want a phone that overheats, has signal issues and battery last around 5 hours. I am a die hard HTC fan but I am not a bias person.

I know which is better phone between the 2. Our phone may not have the better camera, screen resolution and smoother browser between the 2 but all around this phone is just a better device. Our only hardware defect is the blotches on the screen which is definitely blown out of proportion. They are only visible when the phone brightness is set low.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cashyftw:
Summing it up: Basically he has a sgs2 and wants an amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] eksasol:
If its true that the GSII has good amount of subpixels compared to the qHD display, then you could use FontChanger to change the screen dpi to make more thing fit, its not perfect but does the job. Then use a custom launcher to allow more rows of icons.

As for camera quality, they look pretty good to me, but betting money on cellphone camera isn't goid idea. I know the apature of the Amaze is better, but their pics has too much digital proccessing with oversaturation, contrast and sharpening making them look less realistic and introduces artifacts.

You said you don't want to switch to touchwiz and prefer stock launcher, the main reason I stay from HTC is Sense. Sure you can run different launcher, but lots of their stuff run in background, you'll need to get a really clean rom or remove them yourself, unless you don't mind Sense.

sorry if I came off as a troll, didn't mean too, I just paid 600 bucks for my phone and I'm not a rich person...I usually keeps my phones for about 2-3 years...I should have phrased things differently...

Ya and the recording sound for the amaze sucks ass I know that part...this is why its a hard decision for me... there's good and bad about both..

someone said there's a lot of hardware problems with the amaze, can you tell me what those are...I guess my first rant was because I paid close to 600 bucks for a phone...

Please please don't mock me...now I'm so confused and to which one to keep...I'm leaning towards sgs2 one hour the amaze the other hour...maybe I have a mental problem!!!! but seriously...and I'm sorry about earliry I didn't mean to make such a mad rant.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Umm so far it's the screen bleed from the keys which is fixed by turning them off with screen filter or other methods.

Gs2 battery life is better. development is gonna start working on that soon. Because we finally got a kernel release.

battery runs warm when tethering maybe others reasons but that's all i know on my experience.

There are pros and cons to both phones idk why you would bash a phone in their own community that's just dumb lol.

And dude if you don't have the money to spend on a phone why did you bother jumping the gun and spending 600 on a phone you didn't test.

Like other people said you can work your way up from the sensation to test out the ui, it's similar ui. But functionality, amaze is slightly better..

And shout out to my gs2 friends. I'm jealous of your development but we'll catch up soon!

[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I switch to amaze, aparently the SGS2 was also defective in many ways including 4g speeds, speakerphone was muffled....I love this phone so much better...just amazing...battery use is almost the same. I tested it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
This entire thread is useless. The OP rant (especially in the SGS2 forum) offered nothing new and was nothing but his opinion about a phone he ended up not liking.

Virtually every response was equally useless and was of no help to anyone. I could argue how much better my Amaze is but Samsung fanboys wouldn't buy a word of it. We all focus on the good and ignore the bad to justify our purchase decisions.

I am more than happy with my Amaze just as many are more than happy with their SGS2. Is one better than the other. Objective analysis would probably determine there is no clear winner. Both are great phones. Get over it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
BS. The battery on the amaze is horrid. You can read the reviews and info on the amazes battery. No way it gets the same as the gs2.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Don't believe everything you hear. I am currently at 36 hrs with 20% remaining on my unrooted Amaze. Light to moderate usage- which is my normal usage. That works for me just fine thank very much.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Actually use your phone and use a gs2 the same instead of leaving it sit waiting on a call. Bet you'll then believe your phones battery sucks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
I made several calls totalling about 30 min. About an hour of playing games. Half an hour or so of browser. Checking time very often (I don't have a watch). Over 2 hours of listening to music. Lots of texting. Wifi or Bluetooth on all the time. That's the way I use my phone. 2 days of battery. I'm not getting 5 hours. I'm getting 2 days. I doubt I'd get a whole lot more than that from the Samsung.

I'm very happy with the Amaze. I probably would have been very happy with the Samsung. That's my point. Both phones are very good and most reviews confirm that. Quit your hating.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Ain't nobody "hating" man. What is this a rap video? gtfo. :rolleyes:

The amaze is never going to get the battery life a sg2 gets with both being stock. I have a stock sensation and that gets better life than an amaze and that can only make it 1 day with very few calls and no widgets no live walls and 1 acct syncing.

The sensation clocked at the normal 1.2 can't even do what you said you do on the amaze.

Side note: I can use the gs2 non stop for 6 hours, see that? Non stop for about 6 hours straight while downloading, music, calls, txting and whatever else. I know for a fact that the amaze can't do that with the screen on 85% of that time. NO WAY!

EDIT: And what are you in these forms for anyways? Troll on baby, troll on.

[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
So you are implying that I am lying about my battery life experience. If I was going to come on the internet and lie, it would be about something worth lying about. Like the size of my penis. (Which is way huge by the way) I'm just telling what my experience has been. Whether you choose to believe it or not does not change my experience. You have had a great experience with the SGS2. That's great. I guess we're both happy then.

You should learn how to accept what you read. This post wasn't insulting his phone - insulting his phone?!?! Lmao, how the hell do you insult a phone?!?!

This post was to tell him a fact. The amaze can't hold a battery like the gs2 can. If that's an " insult " to his phone, I'd hate to see what it would be to you if a mechanic told him a hybrid will get better MPG than a v8 hemi.

LOL insulting his phone?! LOL that was hilarious

what he is saying that of course hybrids get better MPG than a hemi, but pretend marley had a hemi and was like "that's ridiculous, my hemi will get 55 mpg easily on light use"

but bad analogy bro, you're saying our phone has so much raw power over your gs2 lol.

Anyways, I think the op is a troll, how the hell did he change to an amaze so quickly after complaining about restocking fees and not having money?

Most amaze users would agree, the gs2 has better battery life, sense and stock kernel eats the **** out of battery.

IDK why the op would be like "my gs2 was defective, therefore the amaze is better" seriously bro? LOL there is truth to that because any phone is better than a defective phone smh...:rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Yeah I said insulting. Is talking **** not insulting? (I'm probably wrong here.)

I could see how some would say "I'm just stating the facts."

But aren't the intentions of stating the facts here to talk ****?

Maybe I used the wrong word here. Maybe I don't understand insult the way I should.

I do apologize.

All I was trying to get at is why we're wasting our time defending OUR money we spent on OUR phone.

At the end of the day all that matters is you got what you like, and you like what you got, no?

I bought the Amaze cause it was easier to say "Amaze" then it was to say "Samsung Galaxy S 2".

Good enough reason for me!
