Well, I would think that this is the sort of thing that the OP is looking for. Personally, I don't use the video function too much, but it is nice to have if something I really wanted to catch it is nice to have in my pocket. I can expect some good quality pictures from a phone these days, but I wouldn't expect the phone to be the way I made video blogs(if i did that sort of thing).

I am curious, do you have a few samples you could put side by side? A big factor would be that they were recorded in similar environments.. and I wonder if the phone could be set to record in mono audio, and if so if that would create a better quality?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
I actually have a question. When recording video, the sound isn't super bad, but with so many mics for noise cancellation and all, the sound can be a bit off. You think that with ICS this can be adjusted or is it something htc has to fix?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You need to stop! The next time I even see you speaking negative about that user an infraction will be issued!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Do you think this is a joke?

Let me see you violate any of these again and you'll be receiving an infraction. Then we'll see if you're still laughing. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Me too. Can't you tell? Stop. Final warning.

Back on topic, I found this post by nguyendqh with samples of audio:

I don't think it sounds too bad, but then again the conditions of recording are extremely important with audio. If this was a baseball game, or the person talking was farther/facing away it would be a different story. Not bad for a camera phone.

It is amazing though what you can dig up with that damn search button, even for a phone as new as this one. :P

To Binary, not to be presumptuous, but maybe you could delete those posts that didn't really add anything to the topic? The worst thing about using search to figure out a problem/solution is going through all the pages of crap(though in this forum it has been much more entertaining than the others;)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Oh yeah totally forgot to mentioned that. I remember reading that before that the amaze's sound recording isn't the best, but it's not horrible. It's not as good as sgs2 mono.

But dude, this isn't what totti was talking about LOL. totti is talking about the ear speaker, like when you talk with someone. Nobody mentioned sound recording in this thread yet, but thanks for bringing it up, i totally forgot about it. But you guys have to admit, overall the speakers sounds better than previous devices. like it doesn't crackle.

@ silent, the soft key bleeds are the leds behind the keys such as home. it bleeds onto the display. You can turn off the softkeys with apps or change in system files which im not sure of.

search in the general section for SCREEN BLEED

[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
I do think that the ear speaker isn't AS good as my previous phone, but also, the sound recording seems not to be the best on the Amaze. And this is something you can see in every review btw. Hence why I asked if this will be fixed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Come on man, I know your phone doesn't sound right to you, but my opinion and many others think that the speakers are better. Can you stop rebutting my ****.

dude i know the sound recording isn't as good on this device, but still "normal", the reviews are in other threads not THIS particular thread. that's why i said i forgot about that.

are you like a critic or something, or did you just word that sentence wrong? Because it sounds like you're saying im ignorant of the sound recording.

anyways, it's a hardware problem. I doubt they'll be releasing updates that controls the sound recording and noise canceling.... or is it isolating...
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
You are completely over reacting man.

I am talking about reviews on YouTube, not here. And no one was talking about you... My phone is great, I just would expect certain things to be better... what is the big deal?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
you quoted me, so one should expect you're talking to me, because everything you said followed what i said. This is a forum, if you don't make things clearer, like making a general statement about youtube reviews also demonstrating poor sound recording, then one can take it the wrong way because your wording definitely sounds like you're talking to me.

For example my original post started out saying how i forgot about the sound recording, and that it isn't the best but it isn't horrible. but you decided to quote me and leave that part out and add your own statement (looks like its directed towards me) about sound recording and telling me its a problem and there are a lot of reviews on it btw.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
OK... but I can assure you that you misunderstood what I said. I quoted you because you mentioned by name, so I was just clarifying. That's all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I wonder if the phones people are mentioning that have mono only output don't have noise canceling, I thought that stereo recording was required for noise canceling? Maybe that is why under certain(maybe more common) conditions people think they provide better quality?

If that is the case, then recording in mono(as I quoted in my last post) would remove the distortion that people are talking about.

I know that noise canceling in the right conditions is good for sound quality, and in others reduce it- I think that is the part that is missing from this little debate.

In the end there is only so much I expect a phone to do, they exceed my expectations in most ways, and we get the phones that have the features most important to us. The amaze sounds like it has great camera features, and hardware wise it seems future proof.. and as a phone(which is my main use) it sounds more than adequate. Coming from a Samsung Vibrant I believe this phone will blow me away!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
dude, i mentioned you because marstodd thought you were talking about sound recording, so i cleared it up and said you were talking about the ear speaker...

So there's no need for you to clarify anything because by now everybody knows how your phone sounds like.

about the noise cancelling, i haven't uploading any videos to my computer yet to test it out so i can't really comment on its quality in mono or stereo.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
I understand, and that is why I quoted you. You were trying to clear up some stuff for marstood, but I also added, since marstodd did in fact mention the recording in video, that I too find video recording not as good as say my Zi8. My phone is great overall man, but I am just comparing some things to other devices I own or owned, what is the big deal? Why do you have to get mad for no reason? :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Rather than add any more length to a thread that might otherwise be helpful, can you guys finish the conversation through PM? No reason to make this thread any longer with useless arguing over something you both say wasn't supposed to be an argument.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
Since I already got bashed and attacked in mass, I am just trying to calm people down, since it seems to me there is some sort of ongoing war against me, and people are trying anything just to get me in trouble. Since Teo032 misunderstood, I am just trying to make him realize he is making a mistake, since my reply was never meant to harm anyone, but just give an opinion. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
dude im not mad, i'm sorry for cluttering the thread, and i did say i misunderstood. But im just suggesting you to try to reword how you say things and when you make a general statement.. state so, so people don't misunderstand it even further. Sorry if i came off as mad, i wasn't.

but it would help if you stop trying to point fingers and saying why are you getting mad, or it was him that mistaken. etc etc

happy holidays everyone :cool:

WiFi calling works great, IMS connects faster and changing to Cellular Preferred from WiFi preferred actually makes the phone drop WiFi calling and pick up the cell network. It doesnt do that with Kinetco WiFi calling. It stays on WiF until you disable.

The radio is muchhhh better about switching between EDGE and 4G. I used to get no service sometimes when it would go from 4G to EDGE. I will see how it goes but ive already seen an improvement.

Picture quality appears to be better

Wi-Fi calling working perfectly (Had to update my E.911 info on my.t-mobile.com to get it to work)

Battery performance is outstanding! Everything is ON and the drop appears to be a LOT SLOWER than before

Phone is really snappy

Not sure what else has been updated, but everything I had is working well

For people who need BiDi (Arabic and Hebrew), I also installed Arabic on it, and so far so good!

Does WiFi calling use minutes? The T-Mobile page that talks about this is very confusing and seems to contradict itself.

Wi-Fi Calling Overview

Wi-Fi Calling is a free feature for T-Mobile customers with a Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Calling capable phone. Wi-Fi Calling is an excellent solution for coverage issues in and around the home or wherever cellular coverage is limited. Minutes used while connected to the Wi-Fi network count against available rate plan minutes unless the Free Wi-Fi calling feature is added to the rate plan. With the Free Wi-FI Calling feature, voice minutes are no longer decremented on calls over Wi-Fi.

Benefits

You will be able to make and receive Wi-Fi calls and access unlimited high-speed data anywhere there is a Wi-Fi signal, whether it is in your home, office, or local coffee shop. Customers experiencing coverage issues in and around the home will find Wi-Fi Calling a great solution for increasing coverage.

Billing

There is no additional monthly charge to use the Wi-Fi Calling feature on your handset.

Wi-Fi Calling uses monthly plan minutes for the following:

Calls made from the US to US numbers

Calls made from the US to international numbers (subject to international rates)

Calls made from outside the US to US numbers (not charged roaming)

Calls made from outside the US to international numbers (subject to international rates, but not charged roaming)

Note: You must disable Data Roaming when travelling internationally to avoid incurring data roaming charges.

Free Wi-Fi Calling can be added to Even More and Even More Plus plans for unlimited calls over Wi-Fi

Sign into myTMO.com to add this feature to your account.

With the Free Wi-Fi Calling feature calls made over Wi-Fi will not use monthly voice plan limits.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
If you don't have this feature on your account it will use your plan's minutes.

Here's the thread I made to add unlimited WiFi calling.

Here's a guide if you're rooted on a stock rom. If you're not on a stock rom either go back to the stock rom or wait until your developer incorporates the update in their rom:

1. Download the update (http://hotfile.com/dl/137474711/52abb8c/SGH-T989_TMB_1_T989UVKL1_CL799405_REV00.rar.html password is sampro.pl) and clockwork recovery.tar if you don't still have it - http://www.multiupload.com/B4L1XEB1PA

2. Create a backup in CWM for safety and then go into recovery mode (phone off, then press volume up + volume down and plug in the usb cable)

3. Flash update to your device using Odin

4. Let the phone boot to make sure it works. The first boot will take 2-3 minutes, dont panic!!

5. Go back into recovery mode

6. Re-flash clockwork recovery tar image in Odin

7. You're done!
