[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
There are plenty of reviews in the general section already, try a couple pages back. There's a thread sgs2 vs amaze and another "opinion" thread somewhere. You might find a lot of crap and dispute in there... some i contributed lol.

but yeah not sure why amaze only has the washed out display... hopefully in the near future they will find a better display manufacturer, but honestly, it doesn't bother me very much.

think of the vivid to amaze as like getting the regular sgs2 from at&t vs the skyrocket.

samsung sgs2 (t989/hercules/tmobile) is actually a good phone so don't let its predecessor scare you.

However, its all about user preference.. you should check out both phones before laying the $$$$ out.

here are some key things

SGS2 pluses

- Faster/stronger wifi gps bt connection compared to its predecessor.. amaze is similar in comparison

- longer battery life than amaze

- screen is more vibrant... like how you explained the htc vivid screen.. however i don't like the blue tint.. it hurts my eyes reading text with blue background.

-better sound recording (amaze records stereo sounds, but for some reason it isn't as clear.. still "normal" though

HOWEVER AMAZE pluses

- better resolution, things just pops out more. more definition in games, videos, ui, etc.

- better camera + dedicated buttons

- better in hand feel

amaze however has the softkey LED bleed which is fixed when disabled.

if you don't mind the shorter battery life compared to SGS2 than go with the amaze. But if you're someone like my sister who always complains about battery life all the time even though she has access to USB and outlet ports all day at her work than go with the sgs2. They totally beat us in battery life right now, but hopefully our new kernels would help some.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
I owned the Vivid for a short time and I loved it. The screen is great. I hated AT&T (and didn't feel like paying another bill so Igot rid of it)and went with the Amaze. Everything about the Amaze is better except I really liked that 4.5in screen. That's my opinion. Hope it helped.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Thanks for the replies guys. here is the video on the vivid and amaze: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyWVbbhFY04

I thought they had the same screen is what got me? Yeah i love the feeling my sensation had, the aluminum and the heavyness. i felt like i was holding what i paid for. no matter, i usally buy rough cases for my phones. I honesly think the only way id get the sgs ii titanium is if i couldnt afford the htc amaze. i could easily get a sgs ii under $350, not the case with the amaze =/ and dedicated camera key is one of my favorite things about it. i hope htc resolves the backlight bleeding on the amaze.

lol yeah im not a fan of TW either, but thats what rooting is for :p i am however a fan of sense, i always have been and will be. ive been with htc since the G1 and the only phones i really have had a problem with is the mytouch line.. never touching those things again haha. my brother has the incredible and that is probably one of the most solid phones ive ever used, too bad i dont have verizon. also another thing, ive never had my hands on a phone with a amoled + or whatever samsung is calling these superduper amoled screens nowadays lol. ive only had my hands on SLCD which i love, colors look natural. blacks could be more black but eh. nokias clearblack screens are amazing, htc could use some :p

this is another issue i have had with more than one HTC phone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401030 i hope to never see it again, it caused dead pixels on my hd7 and was started to get bad on my sensation.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
why didnt you unlock it and use it with tmo? thats what i plan on if i get it. Is the screen differences really noticible? besides the size of course :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] claud_face:
You cant get 3gon tmibile if using unlocked vivid which is I'm sure why he got rid of it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
yeah, thats what i thought.. not a big deal to me since i usually am always using wifi
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Unless your Vivid comes shipped with S-OFF you can't have perm root which means no custom roms or kernels which means no free tethering, etc. This is one reason why I was so against the merger to begin with b/c I didn't want to be stuck with AT&T that wants to lock up their phones true potential.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
wait, so the vivid will never get s-off? that might be a deal breaker for me.. i love sense but i like to have full control over my phone, att is annoying. right now the vivid is about $50 cheaper which is also very nice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] papcoz:
The Vivid got 1.2Ghz and no NFC but NFC is not worth for now.

But no android beam for Vivid after ICS upgrade.

The Amaze and SGS2 got NFC so it is not a issue with them.

Also check out AMOLED burn-in before you buy Galaxy S2. (Like XDA galaxy s2 forum)

Many people are facing status bar burn-in. :(

Compared to Sensation

Vivid -> bigger screen + ram/storage + 1.3M front cam

GSG2-> Bigger better SAMOLED screen + ram/storage + NFC + 1.5Ghz + 2M front cam

Amaze-> ram/storage + NFC + 1.5Ghz + 2M front cam.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Well I'm not saying that it won't... but so far it hasn't happened.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
oh that makes sense.. well id probably rather get the sgs ii than the vivid than. i want the amaze the most, ill most likely get it if one comes down to my price range (around $350).
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
yeah.. i guess it depends on what i want the most then. amaze and sgs ii have screen issues. vivid has less FFCmp. im sure nfc will get bigger once ICS hits all phones. ive never held a 4.5" screen before. biggest ive held is the sensation and my old hd7 which i thought was perfect. sure colors look good on the sgs ii but i hate how everything is big and bold cause low dpi, i love qHD.

what do you mean by the vivid not getting beam on ICS?
[HTC Amaze 4G] papcoz:
ICS has something call Android Beam that you can share webpage and data using NFC.

Sensation and Vivid don't have NFC therefore, they can't use Android Beam feature in ICS. If you are not a big fan of sharing files and web pages with other, it is not much problem. But to me, sharing webpage and data through bluetooth and wifi are really pain in a ass.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
ohh okay, thats what i figured. I probably wont get the vivid now xD NFC should get big sometime later in 2012. it took a while for bluetooth to get big so you never know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] unxzst:
can any of you in this thread please elaborate on NFC that's in this phone? what is it? how and where is it useful?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Give it a try on google. It will provide you with a lot of info.

Woopsie!! My apologies :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
I like the look of the Amaze better. I liked the weight and feel of the Vivid better (if that makes sense) I REALLY liked that 4.5in screen. I actually still wish I could get another Vivid...sigh (even if only usable on WiFi)

It doesn't sound like much, but that 0.2 screen difference was noticeable (at least to me)... The weight and shape of the Vivid made taking panoramic pics (using the stock Sense camera) much easier. I still have a Sensation and (besides the sensor Ofc) the software is essentially the same, but it felt easier to hold the Vivid steady than it does the Sensation. The Amaze has slightly different software which I love for everything but Panoramic photos. I guess I like all three phones that I mentioned but each for different reasons. I say go and check them out and then decide (even through the Sensation isn't an option listed I mentioned it because I own one and it's how I decided for myself which one I liked for what reasons)

Sent....from the desk of Pipsqueak O.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Thanks for your reply. I think i am going to go with the Amaze since its on T-mobile and all already. the vivid does look nice but i heard from other people it wasnt that confortable to hold. the camera key is a big thing for me as well. I loved my sensation, just hated the problems i had with mine. Another thing is the amaze has NFC which i hope gets big in 2012 so thats cool.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
AFAIK T-Mobile is part of that carrier owned payment program called ISIS (as is Verizon and other carriers, though I can't say for sure whom they are/will be) that will utilize NFC enabled payments just like Google's own Google Wallet. So, I agree NFC could be really important in 2012. Plus who doesn't love a dedicated camera button. :)

Sent....from the desk of Pipsqueak O.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
well i wouldnt like it just for the google pocket thing i like how you can share stuff too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
I was just commenting on how it's included in both T-Mobile's "flagship" phones of the moment (SGSII and the Amaze) so it wouldn't surprise me if they are going to really push ISIS in the coming year.

In the NS themes and apps forum they had an app that could read NFC tags and do things like turn on WiFi when you walked in your house and other things....that is what I hope to use NFC for mostly.

Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
that sounsd amazing. i heard of people stealing your credit info from it though lol like they walk by you and take it

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_evo/

Switch to Amon Ra recovery if you haven't, wipe cache and dalvik, flash and reboot

My favorite right now is MikG with the kernel that comes with it, stupendous battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierceye:
My favorite right now is MIUI. I have found it to be very stable. It's an AOSP ROM, so it's already fast, and the Theming engine is top notch. I also love the fact that we see weekly updates. If there is a small hiccup one week, you can bet it will be fixed by the next. No 4G, but I don't live in a 4G area. I just use the stock kernel but there seems to be good success with both of the last two Tiamat releases. Downloads are at miui.us. Well worth a try!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleA319:
I have TWRP recovery. That should be ok right? Is there a reason to choose one over the other?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
I think you should be good for the most part. I've always used Amon Ra, it is extremely reliable in formatting and flashing and partitioning and all the good stuff. And it has support for both Amend and Edify scripting, while TWRP only has Edify support. Amend is older, but some people still use it.

But as long as TWRP works for you, use it by all means
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleA319:
Do any of you guys use SETCPU or any similar apps along with the kernels?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Cyanogenmod and most other AOSP ROMs usually have built-in options in settings so SetCPU would be unnecessary. On MIUI and Sense ROMs, then you would need SetCPU, which I do use
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsuffern:
Just to add to this, to further improve battery life try to underclock it, use like the conservative governor, and also undervolt with incredicontrol (app) or vipermod (script) o_0
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
I have used over 10 ROMs and all had their pros and cons. The one I found had the best battery life AND performance (this is what I use now):

Rom: EVO Deck 1.3 (flashed with google apps obviously)

Kernel: SalvagedZen 2.2.1 CFS + HAVS

Extras:

CoD supersonic tweaking 1.2 (speed things up for multitasking + battery life increase)

AdFree (for no ads)

LauncherPro as my launcher

Backup apps with titanium backup. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, boot, and system. Flash EVO Deck, then Gapps, then kernel. Boot it up and go through the setup process, but don't sign in to anything yet. Leave it for 10 minutes then reboot. Go to market and install launcherpro, adfree, titanium backup, and the apps needed for the CoD tweaking. Do the Cod tweaking and set up adfree. Reboot for those to take effect. Now restore you're apps and you're done!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paallday:
If u are concerned about battery u should be wipeing/callibrateing every time u flash, you can do this by 1. Charge completely, 2. Wipe batterystats.bin file in amon ra, and POWER PHONE OFF, DO NO REBOOT! Let it charge till the orange light turns green, 3, unplug before you turn on, 4, leave on till dies, do not plug in. 5, charge to 100%, do not unplug, done!

I suggest u do this directly after ur first successfull boot after flashing

[Motorola Droid RAZR] gbroon:
As far as I know you can't directly root the 2.3.6 update. You need to root before you update and use a root saving app to allow you to reapply root after the update.

If you used the OTA here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353142 you can downgrade to SPU9 with RSD lite, apply root and then upgrade again keeping root using vodoo rootkeeper. The instructions are in the first post.

How to root Korean Razr XT910K?

Hi.

How to root Korean Razr XT910K? I've already updated this new (yet un-rooted) phone to official Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4.

I don't want to install other rom, but I only want to be able to backup & recover all my

Hi.

Is there a rooting feedback from anyone for this Korean Razr XT910K with this tool?

Because korean smartphones are so customized by providers that they are different from others. This makes them a little complex and risky to root without hearing some experience. Especially, taking into account that it's already updated and now it has:

- Android 4.0.4

- System version: 67.42.17.XT910K.KT.en.KR

- Firmware: GAS_ASIA_SPYDERICSKT_P006

- Baseband: U_KR_04.03.00R

- Webtop: wt-3.0.0

- AP flex: GAS_ASIA_SPYDERICSKT_P006, GAS_ASIA_SPYDERICSKT_A002

Finally, I wouldn't like to get a new and advanced "media player" for $270 named Motorola Razr ;)

I'm running on Hyperdroid 4.4.7 with the latest Ultimate kernel but batterydrain is pretty high.

On 3.x and 4.0 it lasted over 72-80 hours with medium useage, now with the same usage it's on 55% after 12 hours.

I tried emptying the caches and a re-wipe but battery drain stays the same.

Is this normal for the 4.4.7 update?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
72-80 hours with medium usage? LOL! What's medium usage for you? Also what battery do you have installed?

You can try to delete battery stats and give the phone around 4-5 cycles till the battery recalibrates itself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArjanC:
Hehe medium usage for me means 32 active apps of which 7 update every 15-60 mins, screen on every 15 mins, fulltime wifi, an hour a day orso bluetooth connection, just normal use i think.

I use the standard battery and i will wipe the battery stats to see how that works.

Maybe i'm just spoiled..
