[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
ok guys i dont care about the LG phones but really the two top htc phones out for tmobile now end of life? the amaze have a few months old not a lot, but im curious remember while back when apple won in court against htc and htc latest phones will be banned in 2012! i wonder if this have something to do with it?

but really if they have in mind of coming out with new hanset why take away the best phones they have! that no sence, and by the way the amaze is better than the samsuck

and Tw launcher and remember at least htc is more friendly than samsuck
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
dont forget the G2X has been EOL for a while and I still have quite a few in my store
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
this has

nothing

to do with it im sure. its most of their old phones, like the incredible etc. all the phones shipped with froyo most likely. the sensation and amaze were not on that list.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
This is complete crap, I can only take so much solace in a manufacturer update. EOL means devs have less of an opportunity or motivation to work on the device.

Craigslisting this abandoned step child as soon as tmobile announces a succesor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
I still do not see clear evidence of that happening. All that link shows is a picture regarding some backorders and some whatever 3 paragraph comments some dude has written. And remeber tmonews is not official rep of tmobile so personally ifind that article total crap
[HTC Amaze 4G] NardVa:
HTC made be heading in a new direction with phone design for their android phones. Even though the Amaze 4G is a new phone the design is old. HTC has used the same design for years. I like HTC design/build, but the public seems to prefer Samsung build/design for Android. I think the Galaxy S line is the top selling android phone worldwide.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AJ26T:
It's not tmobile its HTC not making it anymore its very rare u will see a carrier drop a phone a little while after its release. It is one of tmobiles top.selling phones. HTC has decided to stop making it
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Why does it matter ?

Phone dev support doesnt pick up this late. Either its a hit right away or its an Amaze style phone where it just lingers with mediocre support.

It being in a TMO store doesnt seem to affect me who has it in my hand. Please elaborate the pain if you just bought it ??

Lastly so long as a clearly superior device is coming I have no problem. A phone with a HD screen , equal or better camera , and ICS would be very welcome.((in white with notification LED would be a plus))
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Not every phone is available to every carrier worldwide. From what I heard, it is restricted to T-Mobile US and carriers in Canada, The Sensation is available to multiple carriers worldwide. That is a major game changer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nashti13:
Had this phone a week and they are already going to kil it? Ridiculous
[HTC Amaze 4G] madhad:
Read the OP for the update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kruschman:
This only means they're going to stop selling it. How does this affect anyone that currently has one?? You guys are complaining about something that doesn't affect you in any way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Good point my man!
[HTC Amaze 4G] hamza arbeed:
This is the bad thing. Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, and so on. All these companies manufacture new types of phones every few months. They should do like what apple did every year one phone, so the phone get enough and fair attention and development from developers.

For example, look how many phones HTC manufactured. It is to hard to support all these phones and to give them the new update of ICS. And developers and hackers are not focused on one phone, which makes the task hard.

Excuse my English :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
It means the promised ICS update will be the final thing T-Mobile will do for this phone, and then it will be forgotten!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Sounds like every other Android phone ever.

Again dev community WONT pick up this late.

God shoot me if companies start releasing only one phone a year.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kruschman:
You think that HTC or T-Mobile are concerned with what phones developers and hackers are giving "fair" attention to??

As far as it getting ICS and nothing else ... I'm pretty sure that could have been assumed months ago. With ICS being such a major release for Android, I highly doubt we will see anything other than minor updates for quite a while.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
LoL... Who cares... I update phones as much as 3 Times a year... Bring in the new and sell off the old...
[HTC Amaze 4G] vzontini:
Why do the folks in this forum care if T-Mobile sells the phone? If you have and like the Amaze then you aren't impacted. If you have and dislike the Amaze then you will have an opportunity to replace it.

Developer support is luck of the draw though support is more likely if you stick to only Google developer phones. Phones released world-wide will also have a better chance of getting some developer love. The Amaze is neither so I'm not sure why there is an expectation of a lot of developers being on board.

What am I missing?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gustav30:
Coming from a Sensation I admit I was spoiled by the amount of Dev support. But as mentioned it is a worldwide phone getting a lot of support. So I'm going through a bit of withdrawal right now! But I have to say I don't know to what end it got me...the amount of flashing I did, was it worth it it in the end? Did it help me accomplish more with my phone, or was I too busy wiping/formatting:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
So HTC sensation is staying on the shelves but amaze is not. How does this make sense?

[HTC Amaze 4G] vmartinez39:
I learned not to jump without looking when buying phone. I own g2x, still do. Only reason i havent got rid of it is waiting for my next phone to have full xda support.

Amaze 4g was on my short list.

same for SGS2

Only lack of cm7 and full xda forum support is why I haven't jumped ship. Luckily my g2x has cm7 support.

I'd still pick one up amaze 4g it has at&t radio. That crap is golden.

Shame eol but I'd pick one up as price drops. Learned to be patient. Never paying 500 or retail for a phone. Companies keep releasing phones on monthly basis.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hirjak:
I was on the HTC website last night...went to their support section and it asked me to select my phone for support...the Amaze wasn't even there anymore!!! I then did a search on the site for Amaze and Amaze 4G and it said there was nothing found. Wow! This is the first I've been upset since this news because it looks like HTC is dropping it like a hot potato! They had lots of old, dumpy phones there, but already didn't have the Amaze!
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
They will only support the phone until a year after their last sale date (for warranty issues etc), so any further updates after ICS will probably not be seen on the amaze after that point,...on the other sensation stays on the shelves, they will keep supporting and sending updates to the phone which HTC has said they will keep supporting...seems to me like HTC just gave up on the amaze, after next year you probably won't see any updates or any more support for the amaze, everything will virtually be gone...its a shame... why would they leave an older phone on the shelves and get rid of newer ones...I'm really starting to Hate HTC...in every single aspect. I don't like samsung either...So what choice does that leave me?? and I despise the iphone! seriously there are only three major phone competitors on the market?
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
I was able to search and find Amaze 4G on their site.

Now for own opinion, HTC is doing the same thing Motorola did back when I had the Cliq. I wasn't expecting HTC to do this. I hope I wouldn't be so unlucky in 2 years. Either way, this is a nice phone. But our hopes now rest on devs, not to pressure you guys lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
okay, HTC is turning into samsung. what choice does that leave you with? SONY :DDDDDD

in all seriousness, when sony parts with ericsson their new devices i will go to definitely. they are bringing ICS to the arc and that was released around early 2011 i think lol and its a single core phone.. i dont think any other single core phones are getting ICS besides it
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
I think nokia will become number one again
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
As long as ICS update comes out and we start playing with some ICS ROMs, I don't see what the big issue is. And as far as the "MyTouch" brand, LG embarrassed the name MyTouch. I think the MT4G is one of the best, most reliable smartphones on any carrier... and the 4g Slide I hear was the same but with a better camera and maybe another cpu. But once they sold to LG, we all knew that brand was dead.

As far as the Amaze and Sensation, I again, don't see the big deal. The sensation was BARELY an upgrade over the MT4G, so it was a SENSEless release to begin with. It was just a sexier device that TMO knew they could release and get people spending money again. And the Amaze has been for sale for a few months now, so I'm sure most of the people that wanted that phone, already has it, so it won't matter. Tmobile will still have tech support, as will HTC... and we still have a handful of Devs that are still working with the device.

There is NO WAY that I will be going to Samsung... They make my televisions very well... but I'll leave it at that. I bought my Amaze on my 3rd line's upgrade, and my main line will be open for an upgrade Q2-Q3 this year, so I'm good with the Amaze until then...

Thanks to NGRZ28 for making a KICK ASS ROM for our device :D

Edit: Ok... Maybe HTC support has ended lol.... My bootloader is unlocked... I think I'm done with any support I shall need. I do think this may be my last HTC device though... They've been a staple in my home for quite some time, but hate their new direction. HTC Amaze 4G is still a GREAT device...
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
I totally agree with your opinion the mytouch brand. I owned the original slide for over a year and I hated it lol, bit its better that the LG ones honestly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
yes, and i think Sony will get more known. i cant wait till Nokia hits the US markets. ive always wanted to own a high end Nokia but international phones are so damn expensive. I like how Nokia is going with WP7 but they need to get a more advanced OS as well for the more tech people.. WP7 apollo will be good though
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
guys dont worry amaze is not on my end of life list **** tmobile :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregb882:
Sony will be the last phone on my list. While usually pretty solid functionally, Sony products are always more expensive, break too quickly, can't get them repaired, and they'll probably load hidden software that will prevent all manner of illegal misbehavior (from their viewpoint, of course). I made a conscious effort to avoid Sony products more than 25 years ago after a string of issues with their products. Since then, all they have done is proven to me that I took the right stand. I was forced to accept a Sony sound system in my new Ford Fusion because I couldn't find one without it that had the other equipment I wanted. I even tried to get them to swap it out for a standard system, but that would have cost more money so I took it. Yes, it sounds great. But when it breaks, and it will... probably just outside of the warranty period... it will either cost a fortune to repair or it won't be repairable at all. That's when I'll stick a 3rd party system in it's place. Yeah, I know; I'm harboring old grudges. But I honestly haven't seen anything out of them to make me want to buy their products again.

Oh, BTW, even though I'm straight stock, I love this phone. Maybe because I'm coming from a Touch Pro2 with WinMo 6.5, customized with terrific Energy ROMs, but I'm really pleased with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
^ +1
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Yeah, that is the past. I wouldn't have got the ERICSSON phones. Sony is parting ways with them.. Ericsson is selling 50% to all their crap to Sony so that will be a huge plus. look at all the new phones Sony is about to release, i cant find one thing i dont like about them honesly, but that is of course all about preference.

every

new phone they are about to release is Playstation ceritfied, absolutily great build quality, great cameras, full HD reality Displays, 1gb RAM, dual core, great support, what more could you ask for? lol. the impressions the Ion has gotton are great from hands on prespective. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperia-ion?cc=us&lc=en

If aluminum isnt good build quality to you then idk what is.... The fact that Sony is still updating the Sony Xperia Arc is amazing since its over 1 year old and they could stop anytime. they are updating it to ICS and its a pretty old device.

When i get rid of my Amaze im either going to Nokia or Sony. depends on what phones are around when my Amaze is dead lol
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Taken from the Cha Cha boards (complete copy, non edited), this has been created by anmipo.

I have tested this myself and cannot seem to make it work.....if you can try it!

As probably many of us here, I've bought HTC ChaCha not for the Facebook key, but rather for the other 42. However, not being able to reassign that FB button to something more relevant was rather annoying - and looked like an interesting way to spend the weekend.

So, a weekend of reading though the phone's log and trying different approaches resulted in a simple application for reassigning the Facebook button to custom actions. I've published it on Android market: F-button Lite for HTC ChaCha (free and without ads). The app does not rely on any hacks or non-standard tricks, and therefore works even on unrooted HTC ChaCha/Status (and maybe on HTC Salsa).

Please let me know if the application works on your HTC ChaCha/Status/Salsa, and feel free to share any ideas for improving the app.

UPD: Requires firmware version 1.23 or higher (see Settings - About phone - Software information - Software number, and, if necessary, get an update via Settings - About phone - Software updates - Check now).

F-Button lite
[HTC Salsa] crest_delta:
Hi,

The FbuttonLite does not seem to work on my HTC Salsa,

But if you can help me , everytime I press the Fbook button on my phone (even whithout your app) it says sign in to FB , but on the other hand when I click sign in it says only one app is supported....

This is very annoying pls help me map the button !!
[HTC Salsa] anmipo:
crest_delta, sorry to hear that... According to the reports of ChaCha users, the application does not work on some older firmware versions.

Please check if your phone has the latest firmware (Settings - About phone - Software updates - Check now).

If updating does not solve the problem, it would be helpful if you could follow the procedure described here so that I could better understand the issue.
[HTC Salsa] shivunaikc:
Factory reset your mobile and restart.. when it ask for setup like Google,facebook entries.. just login at that time only.. if you do it later by exiting setup this problem exists.. I had the same issue.. I did the same and got fixed..
[HTC Salsa] kanded:
well, using titanium backup, just uninstall the stock facebook apps. there are some apps with the name facebook, just uninstall them.

install titanium back up, go to backup and restore, find any apps with word 'facebook'.

tap it for about 2-4 secs, clear data first, and then uninstall.

do it again until there's no left.

and then reboot your phone.

there you are, the F button wont function anymore

dont forget to say thanks if it helps :D

Radio patch from 4.0.4 update package found on android police. SEE BELOW!

_________________________

This isnt anything new, but rather combination of what many report to be better of the LTE and CDMA radios. Just a simple repackaging. It appears to be the better of combinations I have tried. Handoff between 3g/4g appears be for my set of 5 phones in various areas around CT, so please no "your wrong " posts.

FLASH IN CWR unless your having issues,.. then follow directions below for Fried Radio.

Cheers!

Hybrid 1 VZW EK5 CDMA(4.0.2) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3)

Ready5

MD5: 999b87799b5846af96694d25c62cea8b

Updated: New combination for those of you who seem to get worse results with the hybrid 1 package.

Hybrid 2 VZW EK6 CDMA(4.0.3) / EK2 LTE(4.0.2)

MD5: 24afbc22c9ba88e7cbdd248147762289

If your not cool with "patching" your LTE radio image and want to wait for a full 4.0.4 LTE image try my newest hybrid below. Bootloader update was removed, so no reverting to stock needed!

Hybrid 3 VZW V.FA02 CDMA(4.0.4) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3)

MD5: 3383d0b47c5e9aaab0d638f6c2290a0c

___________________________________________

***** Updated 2/6/2012**** NO NEED TO FLASH BACK TO 4.0.2 now!!

For those who wanted the 4.0.4 radios without the bootloader so you DO NOT have to revert to stock rom to take this, here you go. Few things to note.

1.) Im not responsible for anything that happens to your phone as a result of this.

2.) I have tested the packages on the 4 GNEXS I have.

3.) This package includes a FULL CDMA image and a LTE FULL IMAGE... WHICH MEANS... this IS a final radio, Please report feedback but dont be a ****.

4.) NO NEED TO FLASH to 4.0.2 as this is a FULL LTE and CDMA image!

If you get any errors while flashing anyoff the Hybrids or the 4.0.4 radios...no sweat. Pull the batt for a few seconds, boot into fastboot then recovery and go again!

That is all.......

VZW CDMA FULL v.FA02(4.0.4) / LTE FULL FA02(4.0.4) NO BOOTLDR

MD5: 0725ec0e6da5f5994beb37504a528d9e

________________________________________________

For those of you who have fried your radios before, never fear. A simple fix is to download the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v5.1 and put your phone into the fastboot menu.

1.) Download a radio package from either 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 (not 4.0.4 yet)and extract the radio.img and radio-cdma.img to the put_img_files_to_flash_here folder that the toolkit installed to.

2.) Select the option to Boot or Flash IMG files

3.) VERY IMPORTANT!! Follow the prompt and enter in radio-cdma.img first! If you flash LTE radio first, and then CDMA, CDMA will purge the LTE Radio!!!!!

4.) When prompted to change permissions so no, and when prompted to flash another file say yes.

5.) Now enter in radio.img and flash.

Your radios are now recovered. To confirm fastboot should show the 2 radios versions. If it only shows CDMA radio version, then you screwed up! Try again.

Its just rewriting your LTE 4.0.3 radio and reverting your CDMA radio. All will be well. I promise it wont open a blackhole. :-)

I gave it a try and so far, there doesn't seem like there are any differences... I'll let you all know if I notice anything...

Thanks though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aergern:
Well, I flashed this a few hours ago before going out. We went to a bar known to force me to 3G with the Gnex ... so I put it in CDMA only to save some battery and then figured out the bar had Wifi so I flipped that on. When we left the bar I turned Wifi off and it refused to jump back on 3G let alone 4G. I then put it into airplane mode as this sometimes fixes things ... it wouldn't come out of airplane mode until I rebooted.

So ... just an FYI.

I'm flashing back up to .3 / .3 radios because I've not seen this behavior the last 4 times we've been at this specific bar. (It's on the island of Alameda [california])
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
I too had the issue of the signal being found when I first flashed the hybrid combo. I intentionally rebooted twice now all seems well. Signal hand offs seem quicker in all causes even better then with lasted leaked radio combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjrudey:
I'll try this since with both radios I'm getting random data drops.

Edit: I'm only sitting in my living room but now I have a 4G signal. Used to only be 3G.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
I am on same as this guy. I am running LiquidSmooth 1.25 and the Glados 1.25 kernel. Never flashed any updated or different bootloader, radio, or LTE baseband on this phone yet. Do I just download and flash the "Hybrid 3 VZW V.FA02 CDMA(4.0.4) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3)" from clockworkmod and be done with it? Or do I have to take steps beforehand and be running something specific before I flash a new radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seniorstew:
Flashed 4.04 full and now when I switch on LTE, it wont fall back to 3G.. tried the hybrids also.. running kang aosp
