[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
HTC is releasing to many higher end phones these days, accessory and cell providers cant keep up with them.

Why sink millions into advertising a phone that is going to be replaced in 2 months
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
I haven't used my Amaze in about a month. My G2 has become my daily. Honestly, without a good AOSP build or even ICS sense...the Amaze is nothing more than a "decent" camera that I can make calls from also. I have it up for sale but haven't pushed it too hard just in case htc decides to drop the long awaited update. But its not looking like its going to happen anytime soon and the Amaze is just collecting dust.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
I think htc's new strategy is stupid. Producing a new phone every week is non sense. They still have the same number of thechnicians but now many more different devices to support...that is why we all are having such problems with our "flagship" device
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
Exactly my thoughts
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
unfortunatly I have the same distaste for sammy, i had the Galaxy Epic with sprint a few years ago and became very pissed when other phones were getting ginger and i was still on Eclair
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
You and I thought (and think!) very much alike :D

I really didn't worry at first because I thought a custom ROM would transform this phone into a powerful beast no matter what, and to a good extent it's true (X makes excellent ROMS, no arguments there). At the end of the day, I'm pretty satisfied with the Amaze in my hand even though it is a bit bigger and heavier than the other phones in its tier.

I absolutely agree with that. HTC is pumping out way too many phones and so I'm guessing their resources are stretched out thinner and thinner in terms of support and development for these handsets... If it's one thing HTC can learn from Samsung (other than being more developer friendly), I think it's to release flagship products within reasonable time spans and not new phones with great specs every couple of months
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mako62:
Had the Nexus sold it and kept the Amaze just a better phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] freakboy13:
I think the problem is not wether or not type b phone is better than type a phone, its a matter of people not really researching what they are buying.

I came from the g2x and I can tell you this:

camera way better.

4g....holy crap, it works and its not just a little image pretending to be 4g!

fast? what is fast precious?

To me Ill take a fast internet over a faster phone that can open tasks more quicly and process faster. The same thing you say? I say thee nay!

I have compared the amze to 3 phones: iphone4s, gs2, & g2x

First off I have to let you know the samsung screens IMO SUCK:

I guesse most people dont care about quality and detail the way I do.

I think the whole smaoled is garbage: i mean I CAN SEE THE BLACK OUT LINE OF THE CELL wtf is that crap? Thats quality? thats high definition?

Ok better stop before I get points from the samsung fanboys /rant

hands down: the iphone has the best screen resolution, but given the creen is way smaller...is it a fair comparison?

g2x video playback was tops for me. The calrity was perfect.

the amaze strangely has crappy video playback...:confused:

sgs2 was....decent

camra? AMAZE hands down, iphone would be second but some of the g2x pics were almost better than the amaze on some things.

Speed? g2x hands down. YES the sgs2 opened up apps faster. than iphone at times. YEs technically faster. BUT the amaze was the shiznit with being a true 4g phone. I compared sgs2 and amaze side by side, amaze internet was BLAZING fast.

Gaming..well nothing beats the g2x. sorry what benchmarking stats say doesnt always quantify real time experience.

WHY DID I buy the amaze? well... for the reason it was marketed:

the camera!!

ANd I personally think the screen looks great. I think if htc had better gpu drivers it would really be "amazing"

ok im done flame away!
[HTC Amaze 4G] lazypc:
Well I've had an MyTouch 3g for the last 22 months so I have been patiently waiting for a new phone for a long time... And I may have gone for the nexus prime... But I have t-mobile. Which meant that for me it was between the new Samsung galaxy and the amaze. I liked the bigger screen of the Samsung, but I also liked the camera of the amaze. So far I've been happy with the phone. But I am having some connection issues with the custom Rom I am using so may have to try few.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Well this is bugging me... My Amaze arrives tomorrow... Lol. The Glacier was just SO MUCH BETTER than the original SG (and every other phone I've played with) that I figured the Amaze would be a dual core version with a nicer camera. Now I'm reading this and am REALLY REALLY hoping is just personal preferences.

I have 2 buddies that took my advice on the Amaze and they both absolutely swear by it (however one came from apple and other came from a basic dumbphone... And neither are tech geeks like me). One is stock and I rooted the other and flashed a custom ROM and Kernel.

Now I'm reading amaze threads and realize X is the only serious dev and that's depressing. S=off also depressing, but I'm sure with time you guys will get it figured out. It's still relatively "new." I guess only time will tell how I personally feel about it. MORE DEVELOPERS PLEASE!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Hey, I live in Jax too, and I'll bet you the data being flakey is more about our location.. like the town center area is junky, but less than a mile at UNF it works flawlessly.. I've checked it with speed tests.

I'm very happy with my phone, I like some of the sense widgets, but I can't stand the launcher itself.. but the features that this phone has(hardware and software), the fact that it is a little weighty, quality of pictures.. I'm very happy with the phone.

You can't REALLY compare an aosp phone to the amaze until we get a true aosp rom. I've played with the nexus, and sure, it is smooth.. but at the same time, by definition, it is running the very bare minimums. If our phones were running aosp it would be equally fast. If you disagreed I would say your mind is playing tricks on you.

It all depends on what you want your phone to do. If you want to check quadrant scores, you'll be sorely disappointed. If you want pure snappiness, get beastmod or senseless, then freeze any system apps you don't think you'll need(though you probably won't need to). If that isn't enough get the supercharger v6 script and script manager to manage your ram in a way that keeps you happy.

The way I look at it, look at the phone's hardware. From that standpoint it cannot disappoint.. all you need to do is get the software using it the way you want it to. At the moment there is only one serious dev, but don't let that bother you, I have faith that with time others will come. What makes that so great is that each makes contributions that the others can improve on, back and forth- and the users benefit. But from a hardware standpoint, I don't think you CAN be disappointed, not once you find the software that makes it what you want it to be.

Oh, and the s-off thing.. I don't know why that is an issue, or why it should be one. All it means, as best as I can tell, is that we have to flash our kernal separately. Everything else is possible. Sure, we can't change radios.. but really, if you could, that is when you can really brick your phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Im new to the whole sense on android experience and I'm loving it! You have to understand that all phones have pros and cons. I'm pretty sure that people will find cons on the Samsung nexus.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
I don't own an amaze myself. But I bought one for my girl recently. My opinion of the phone is that is the best phone out right now. Out the box the device was great. Now unlocked even greater.

My friend bought the Motorola razr the turned that back in to get the galaxy nexus. I can tell from my experience, playing around with all 3 devices, the amaze was still best. To tell you the truth, having both the nexus and amaze side by side in my hand, there isn't anything special bout the nexus. The galaxy nexus is just too blah.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
yes I feel the same about the nexus side by side. But everyone has a different taste and personal opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Yep, load of crap.

Sent from fingers to your eyes ¦I
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmylanman:
When I bought my Amaze it was neck and neck between this and the SGSII, but I didn't like the way the Samsung felt in my hand. The Amaze fits real nicely, and now after I rooted it and am using a custom ROM with overclocking, the thing really flies.

Compared to my Sense experience on the Evo, HTC has made huge improvements, so I don't even mind Sense that much (granted, I do prefer AOSP).

The lack of developer-friendliness is a drag, but I'm sure eventually it'll change. The Evo had the same problem, too. Now it doesn't.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Just wondering... Is it possible for someone who has the tmobile warranty keep it after selling a phone and buying a used one?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
If It's the same phone yes. If it's different I believe you have to go online or to the store and make the switch. Different phone prices mean different deductibles
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Ohh but it is possible right? I'm scared that when I get the phone ill brake in a few days. I don't want to buy a whole new phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
Yep very possible, after all you still are paying for the insurance. Just make sure that the new phone is the one covered . Any tmobile rep should be able to tell you you're covered.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Alright, thank you bro.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 90teggy:
Perhaps the nexus feels faster then the amaze for the simple fact it has ics. Isn't ics the first version of android to fully support dual core?

Love the amaze but it has been rather boring as development is scarce. I ditched my sensation right as development for that phone got good. If I could go back and do it over I would have never got rid of my sensation. I sold it for the ever disappointing sg2. Returned it to tmobile and got the amaze with high hopes. It's just a glorified sensation with little development.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Do a little side by side comparison.. http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3875&idPhone2=4097

The phones are different. Amaze - more internal memory, more ram, better ffc, more camera features, and a better camera if you ask me.. but click the link, There are some real differences that make it more than a "glorified sensation" .
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
I just recently bought an SGSII (from an XDA member BTW) and compared it to the Amaze. I have to say that I'm loving it. I hated the Vibrant and Vibrant 4g which is why I bought the Amaze instead of the SGSII in the first place. If I'd known then what I know now, I would've saved myself the frustration of spending so much money on such a disappointing device (Amaze). True, the SGSII has its cons too, but its pros far outweigh those of the Amaze. For one, it has working CM7. It also has more than one developer. I'm not going to keep plugging the SGSII, just using it as an Example. I personally regret purchasing an HTC Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
your gonna regreat selling it soon once we got ics working 100 % :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
The reason I got the amaze was for its amazing design...I knew the devs were going to get aosp eventually, so amaze is so much better for me, my brother has the galaxy s2 and he loves it. Just preference, no phone is really better
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
I know it, and I'm holding off on getting rid of it as long as I can. But I'm an AOSP fanboy to the fullest ftw! And I know you and those working with you have lives outside of XDA so I understand the development situation completely. And I also like to test out new sense ROMs every now and then, but HAVING to use Gingerbread Sense on a fairly new device when I can run both ICS Sense and AOSP ICS on a year old device (G2) really disappointed me. I'm not knocking the Amaze Devs ...more directed at HTC and such.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
even sgs2 tmo doesnt even have ics wip :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
True, but it has CM7, which is my daily BTW. And when I really need an ICS fix, I just pop my SIM in my G2.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
Or steal my woman's Sensation for a day or two :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] brolic925t:
Whattttt?!?!?!??! Is there a vid yet???
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
has been for a while lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
I can confirm that ICS is a WIP on the Amaze as I've run one of X's ICS builds before. And it was pretty sick.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackElvis79:
What the Amaze is missing... :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Surfman423:
Could anyone possibly point me in the direction of where I can grab the Microbes LWP that comes on my Galaxy Nexus for the Xoom? I'm sure one of you Smarties has already ported it over by now. I haven't been able to locate anything with the search function.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] suboxide:
Does the galaxy nexus have a new microbes wallpaper or is it just the old nexus s one? If it's nexus s microbes live wallpaper just look around here on xda lots off posts about it in other phone forums that should work on the xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wraithevolution:
I have the older microbes apk, it let me install it but would not load. :( Sorry.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] nitewalker033:
I asked this question when the Xoom first came out and still nobody has it working on a Xoom...Its my favorite Live wallpaper

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inagalaxyfaraway:
I installed a kernel and phone started giving me bootloops. Then I downloaded official i9000 firmware and tried to install it via odin. But there is not any progress on Odin screen, after I click start the first box says "set partition".

What should I do now, unplug and do it again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackandmore:
you can end up with hardware problems(internal memory) if you do so

for new firmwares( > 2010) you dont need to do repartition anymore using odin.the blue bar on your phone is visible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inagalaxyfaraway:
After waiting for some time for an answer, I unplugged the cable and tried again. This time worked, no problems. The bar was unvisible on the phone, it was just saying downloading. I hope it won't be a problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theaggiecowboy:
Im Active duty military so i end up where every they send me. I had to purchase a local phone since i will be in korea for the next year. I chose the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as my phone. i wanted to know if i can still root this phone and flash a custom rom with out messing up the phone.

The model Number is SHW-M420K.

Its running ISC 4.0.1.

The boot loader says the Board name: tuna Rev 9.

The base band is: M420KRKK7.

Kernel Version is: 3.0.1-00001-gcc0113dvse.infra@SEP-82 #1.

Build Number ITL41F.M420KREK24.

Please Let me Know Thank You
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
This is not a stupid question.

The simple answer is that the M420K is the KT Telecom version of the HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus, internationally known as I9250 but has bigger battery. So, yes. You can do all of the above.

For further info contact impala.cap2ya by PM or email him on impala@cap2ya.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] team56th:
Almost the same question though it might be repetitive or stupid. I have that HSPA+(3G) version of KT Telecom GN coming a few days later. Is that the GSM GNex? That is, will all the applications, custom ROMs and firmwares for GSM version in XDA going to work with my phone? I checked out both forums for GSM and CDMA version since all Korean phones use CDMA network, but it seemed like CDMA forum here was all about LTE version serviced by Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Yes. HSPA+ =GSM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
Basically, the Korean Galaxy Nexus is not CDMA. It is GSM and works in Korea using the 3G WCDMA. You can confirm this by switching off the 3G in the Wireless Settings "Use only 2G networks" and you will see that you lose the phone signal and can't make any calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naerok:
would a pentaband GSM model work in Korea if brought from the u.s./Europe?

If so, how difficult is it to get a prepaid or temporary sim card when visiting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BruceCLin:
Yes.

Prepaid or temporary sim card is pretty hard to come by cheaply if you want data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
Yes. Forget prepaid sim if you want 3G data.

Getting set up with a phone in Korea is a real pain for expats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Miracle_Man:
Hey guys,

As the title suggests, I hard bricked my phone. I was flashing the Sky Ice Cream ROM and its associated update in CWM, and then I flashed the Sky Kernel by faux immediately after. When I went to reset the phone, it never turned back on. I tried all the combinations of button pressing and taking out the microsd card, sim card, and battery while plugging it into the computer. Nothing worked so far. I was wondering if you guys had any more suggestions before I go down to the AT&T store so I can try to exchange it.

On a related note, would a USB jig get the phone into download mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Damn. So pulling the battery doesn't do anything. And nothing happens when you plug USB into wall charger or computer? A USB jig may be your only hope. I guess just for giggles you could plug into computer and just see if Odin will recognise the phone but I seriously doubt it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Miracle_Man:
Yeah, it's not responding to anything.

how does it hard brick. i soft brick it all time. how does hard brick happen. breaks? got a warranty? say lost it if so. if see you rooted it your warranty voids
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
do you have a car charger? A few of us have accidentally got into download mode by powering up while holding volume up +down while plugged into a car charger or wall charger. (More so on a car charger) Worth a shot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I really don't know if this will help, but when I rooted my phone, for some reason I could only get it into down load by holding ONLY the volume DOWN & power... it can't get worse than it is now. Give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
If you really are hard bricked a jig won't get you into download mode. And if the key combo+insert USB isn't working then a jig isn't likely to work either.

But hey, might as well try. Make your own though, it's really easy. All you need are three 100k ohm resistors (cost = $.75), some electrical tape, and a micro usb cable you can cut up (some people claim to be able to do it without cutting up a cable but I couldn't make it work).

I hard bricked not too long ago, so I know how much it sucks. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kparikh82276:
I just hard bricked my skyrocket

I was doing soft bricks left and right. It took simply one more flash to turn it into a hard brick. I didn't it out of sequence and i did it with goo.manager. I think one should stay away from automatic flashs. Do these things one step at a time. I think it flashed the particion and that's why it's hard brick.

But i don't understand, why can't i get any response from the phone, not even a vibrate etc.

What to do now with a hard brick phone?

I had the same issue. I pulled the battery out when it was in download mode. [Didn't odin or flash or anything] The phone would not turn back on. It showed in device manager as qhusb_dload or something. After a lot of research and trying everything I could, I sent it to mobiletechvideos and he was able to get it working again with a jtag. Had to suffer with an old iPhone for a week but got my skyrocket back and was flashed stock. The phone hard bricked on me again flashing a rom a couple days later. I ended up buying a broken skyrocket and swapping out the mainboard and has worked great ever since.

From my understanding [ and I could be wrong] but just flashing a rom through recovery won't hard brick your phone because I don't believe it touches the boot area. I believe my issues were from some sort of hardware issue as opposed to software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
your understanding is wrong!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] josuemolina2000:
True

I also hardbrick my phone flashing a bad kernel. Got a new one because I had warrant. Dont waste more time and send it to Jtag repair if you dont have warranty. And if you have, dont mention you were playing with the software. Good luck on that!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] colinjlyon:
I hard bricked my infuse with Odin flashing cwm and su pack, don't know what went wrong, bit I bricked it so hard that when it was sent back to Samsung(through Rogers warranty) they couldn't even figure out how to fix it and they just sent me the skyrocket I'm using now lol. Nice free upgrade ;)

After i port Z's CM 7 i no longer get notification on screen or in any other way.
