[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Sprint recently pumped $1.6B into clearwire essentially bailing them out. So no, clearwire is not dead just yet but you might be right in the future as it doesn't look good.

Why?

I agree they have not been making good decisions hence my "if they play their cards right" note. However, the spectrum in Clearwire is minor compared to what Sprint owns. Why aren't they using it? I'd say why not sell some of it off to pay for your network expansion. I heard ATT is paying top $$$ for spectrum :)

I don't disagree with you there.
[Nexus S General] t1n0m3n:
Hence the "all but dead" part of my statement. Clearwire is obviously no longer the way forward. IMO, the 1.6B money infusion was to stave off the impending lawsuits that would have happened if Sprint would have allowed Clearwire to go under.

Clearwire is licensed for 100Mhz+ in most markets. That is more than Sprint's entire spectrum holdings (2G,3.xG, and 4G combined) according to this chart.

----

I will address my other answer about why they are spectrum squatting in a day or so. There are a lot of factors on why *every* carrier is spectrum squatting. It will take a bit to gather all of the news / fact sources on this.

I will, however, leave you with homework on this. 1. Find charts on average U.S. home Internet speed increases over the past 5 years. 2. Find charts on average U.S. mobile Internet speed increases over the past 5 years. 3. Overlay them.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/htcones-tmobile#tech-specs looks like i have new phone! 720 and VGA front facing! WOOT!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Unfortunately

Display 4.3" qHD Super AMOLED 960x540

Couldn't we just get a custom Rom that's ics + sense 4.0?
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
but vga front camera! 720p recoding@! Quad core pros. i mean ill take that over amaze im photo enthusiast so i like to snap on the go so maybe its just me
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
it says dual core... lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Honestly what is the difference between the amaze and the one s? I feel like they are the game.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Damn it! Okay one X then
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Quad core doesn't support lte. So AT&T is getting a dual core version.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Are their any quad core htc phones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
Not yet man :/.
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
just the vga ffc and the super amoled screen, those seem to be the only major sell points, htc seems to be putting out more and more phones, but with less and less actual hardware upgrades :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ksocoolwitit:
no 720p screen like the Rezound?

easy pass
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Well at least we get an AMOLED screen unlike the ReZound, and its not on Verizons 4G Selective Coverage LTE Network =p
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I don't want to sound like debby downer, but the only thing that is getting me is S-off on the amaze. I think it might be a while till we see sense 4.0 on this phone but the one s has everything i like. IDK i just wish it came with the quad core i hate how technology is getting held back.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I honestly don't see the big upgrade. The only thing the One S really has on us is size, it's something like 8mm thick instead of the 11 or so on the Amaze; and possibly their new image chip. Other than that, it's just HTC trying to get the super nerds (us) into buying a phone similar to the one we have because it's "new."
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Not exactly though, because for people unlike "US" their are people who buy their phone and never glance at XDA or any dev site. So that means they are still stuck with sense 3.0 ect. This phone for the average user gives them sense 4.0 which the amaze isn't supposed to have even if we did get it through the devs. A sharper camera which for me takes the hassle out of pulling at the Fujifilm every time. The size difference. A brighter more vibrant display. I mean for the person who doesn't unlock the bootloader and flash roms, It's an upgrade. Not as much to us but even to us their are some things the amaze don't have meaning upgrade.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
Yea I'm a bit disappointed with what HTC is offering for tmobile, VGA front is garbage also.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
True, but the average user prob doesn't care as much about gingerbread, ics, sense 4.0 etc. as we do. Haha.

I'm just bugged by HTC in general. I wish they would do more for customer retention than selling a phone and putting it on the back burner 4 months later. Make us love HTC and be loyal, then more people would stick with them on their upgrade or replacements.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
What's wrong.with VGA?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Minker17:
But the screen is going to be a pentile amoled, so that's a bummer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snakecharmed:
Our front camera has better resolution.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
I'll be getting this new phone I actually do need a new phone and this has 4.0 on it w/ Sense 4.0.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
I think you can see a big difference between vga and 2mp front.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
You would think for something brand new and top line it would at least match and excel the amaze in every aspect and it doesn't.
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
Though it shouldn't be a surprise, I find this upsetting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Diabolic, I agree. I just don't see what the big deal is. This phone is top of the line. Theirs a big difference between 2mp and VGA. This phone is supposed to have a quad core processor but it can't because of 4g. If a phone can have a processor that can compete with my laptop? That's pretty far ahead. It beats amaze in size, camera, speed, softwear, style, audio... I mean its not even out yet its unfair to say that it doesn't beat the amaze specs are nothing Real world performance is what matters.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
im also not a big fan of the 3 cap button set up. I like having a menu and search button
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It beats the Amaze in size (depending on what size works better for each person). Speed? We haven't seen any speed tests done so how do we know? Because of the specs? My single core Glacier is just as fast as the sgs2 and amaze (13-17 avg mb/s... Close to 20 at times) but its specs aren't as good... Same goes for my Thrive compared to Transformer Prime. SoftWARE I think is what you meant... We are getting an update. Patience. Style I say is a push, both devices are sexy. And audio? DSPManager is Beats Audio without the Dre endorsement and the marketing push.

I say, I will wait and see, but it sounds like a watered down one x which is trying to establish itself as new flagship (imho)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jalshah05:
Front facing camera

Is the front facing camera different for Tmobile and Worldwide versions? On HTC worldwide site it says this phone has 1.3 MP front camera with 720P for video chat.

http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-s/#specs
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Speed test are on youtube on the HTC hub channel for the one s on x one xl ect. The one X is the same as the one s in the videos posted of the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Glac, rest assured that I don't post anything I don't know about, but if you want the speed test here you go, I know quadrant doesn't mean a lot but to kill the amaze stock two fold is pretty good. Heres the speed test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ4XyBEh_5s I mean your getting a lot more camera features to! Heres another vid for citation : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwEsbMVuCC4 . Watered down is a little extreme but I think the phones are pretty much the same. Plus even though we do have DSP you have to open it every time you go to play music so just a thought.

Jalshah, I would go with HTC's website as they are creaters.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
lol you guys are saying you would take a amoled screen over a IPS screen (one thats in the iphone that everyone is crazy over)? you guys are crazy.. hahah, the one x has the IPS SLCD "2" screen which blows away the one s screen.

the sell point is not the FFC, its the rear camera and the modes it has, and the new os, thin-ness compared to the amaze, and the processor destroys ours.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Its person preference I like Super AMOLED better that the iPhones Retnia display. I also don't see HSPDA on the ONE X and I love download speeds because I travel a lot and not all hotels have good internet you know?
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
i guess, for people who like screen burn and not being able to see in the sunlight or have crappy battery life when having any bright colors xD

amoled looks good with blacks but i like colorful backgrounds (bright colors) and amoled sucks with bright colors (blue hue). i want my whites to look white, by comparing the one x screen with the one s the blacks even looked better on the one x and other colors. it is about personal preference though, just like some prefer WP7 and some prefer android.

all seriousness though, i dont use data so thats why i probably will just get the one x and be happy lol. tbh, by the time i can get it or afford it there will be better phones announced thats how it usually goes lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Data is one of the most important things to me, I wouldn't be able to do work without 4g speeds or i could id just give up because it would take to long for me lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I think I made my decision on getting the one S. I'll just keep my amaze around for now and see what ics roms are available when the one S is available to buy. If no good roms are out ill just sell my amaze and get it
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I think I am getting the one S, but you gave me an idea. Hmm who knows now lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
If we have ics + sense 4 on our phones by the time the one s is available it would be pointless to upgrade

Even though I do like the amoled screen XD
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I love the new camera though, it would really help out with a lot of action shots with the recording feature and picking out photos frame by frame, instead of opening up After Effects and going through frame by frame
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Not accusing you of not knowing, just saying none of us know yet. Quadrant Standard used to be the standard, however is very much a yawned since it has problems testing the graphics. I would get awful scores on any sense Rom compared to aosp roms (mt4g remember) even though speedtest.net results were very comparable. And I haven't seen any speedtest.net tests. I'm sure it won't be getting 20 mb/s consistently, which means (to me at least) that it won't be so much faster where I will need an upgrade.
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
also isn't quadrant not fully optimized for multi-core processors yet? so those test results are not very accurate anymore i'm told
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Once the amaze gets updated who says we can't port the OneS's camera features on the Amaze? Or...what if the new update has that feature already? Too much hype over a phone imo.

Sent by accident from my Amaze using Tapatalk :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
they wouldnt be near as good, the sensor is much better. software takes some part but sensors take the most. no matter how good the software is in our it wont compare much im sure.

if you really want a good camera in a phone go look at the nokia 808 just announced
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Not only "yet" but that's gonna be the case it seems forever. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the development is dead for quadrant standard and quadrant advanced. I tried using it on a buddy's stock amaze before I bought one and it wouldn't give results.

On top of that, as quiet as its kept, it was NEVER "THAT" good of a "standard" to begin with... Just a good "idea" of where your phone ranks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I thought it was the One X that was supposed to have quad but only has dual in the US, and the One S is a dual core everywhere? I agree with half of what you said, haha. I think the style of the Amaze is great, the camera is phenomenal (the One S might be better, but really? Is it that much better?), and the speed on the Amaze is incredible. I really don't see phones getting much faster, it's gonna be the carriers making data faster and the processors saving battery. But our Amaze is pretty fast, it just needs some battery help :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
The thing that is getting me is that quadrant test. Beating the amaze 2 fold on a stock test! I wonder what the custom roms will bring! Even if its quadrant it still has some value to it. the phone is slimmer to which is another thing that i like. I just think that the amaze loses unfortunately but its also going to have a lot of development. Its a wide variety phone running on the same os i mean more people more dev.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Like i said quadrant may not mean much and what matters is real life use. But still i think its amazing that sense hit that score crushing stock SII.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
Yea, the slimness is what wins for me on this phone. I would love to have a phone 2/3 the size of the Amaze, and lighter. I like how the Amaze is heavy compared to the SGS2, but it's almost too heavy. And quadrant can be 2x faster, but like I said, fast is fast. I would assume you wouldn't notice too much of a difference in actual performance and usability, but I could be wrong. This is all speculation/something to distract us. :)

You finally converted me!! With the development aspect. I completely forgot, haha. Hopefully HTC/TMo don't screw things up by releasing slightly different versions everywhere and on every different carrier (kinda like what they're doing with the One X but to a larger extent) that makes it a pain to dev between the variants of the same phone. But if they keep true to their word and have a more simple, mainstream line of high-end phones, than this is great!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I don't think the versions will matter, look at the sensation XE Sensation XL and Regular Sensation. XE and XL roms are ported over pretty easy ;) No unless they do something stupid which htc has been know to do with things like S-off (Cough Cough) then we will be good
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
My Glacier gets 3300 at times (running cm7.2 KANG) on quadrant standard. That phone is a single core. My network area is fast, but not blazing by any means.

It's a nice score it puts up, but for the most part, it didn't seem like it was testing well. It took a LONG time imo for the phone to get past the initial quadrant tests (although it appears ics handles I/O graphics way faster than most sense ROMs). My Glacier flys through all of those, so who knows what means what. I'm just saying, I would be more impressed if we could see what the Amaze can do with that standard.

I also, on a side note, think the front of phone is ugly also, but that's irrelevant. Again, I will wait to see how fast it is in an unbiased, real life situations, and I really want to see speed test videos.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Idk why anyone thinks tmo is going to be more dev friendly going forward, when they are obviously going in another direction. They don't care about the small % of users that hack their devices. The only part of that they do care about, is customers exchanging bricked devices for new ones.

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol we will have to agree to disagree. I think u are missing my point.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Idk maybe i just want something new because im board. I wish the kept the 4 keys though =(
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
My point is this. If amaze had ics, would there be anything else to seriously complain about? I mean whenever we get something new, there will always be something better... But could it be that there's only soooo much u can do with a phone? I mean really, my phone does everything for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
I consider it highly likely that Tmobile won't release ics for the amaze until after this comes out to help boost its sales. They did it for the vibrant, they'll do it again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I'm aways looking for a way to push technology forward

Just when I thought I could stay with the amaze I give up, The HTC sensation now has a PORTED sense 4.0 ROM!!!!!! OMG ! I knew i should have I knew it! Patients is a virtue but come on now. May can't wait till the One S. Are any devs going to port it to the amaze? Or are just waiting for OTA?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol easy tiger... Maybe u should offer a member in the sensation forum a trade
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Specs may be good but they are crazy to leave that development! I just hate that we don't have a lot of devs here! The old stuff is getting the good stuff you know? Buyers remorse i guess. I just really hate this wait till OTA attitude I tried porting ICS 3.6 and it didn't work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
Well I saved my money to upgrade from my G2 to amaze and I'm glad I did, CM 9 is in the works for it, so I'm not worried and s-off will be achieved. So the one s has a little better cam, no biggie my can I'd pretty awesome, I have dual core so no loss there, a little thinner meh. I'm glad I invested in my amaze and certainly don't want to spend 700 bucks for a device that's only got some minor improvements.

I also don't need to rush out and get the latest product rolling out of the factory.

But that's just me.

now i hear we are getting the One X as well but with stock android which I hate, so still the one S i guess.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
The one XL is quad core with the tegra 3, but because of the LTE incompatibility it is only available outside of the US. One x and one s are dual core, one v is single core. Memory and screen size being the differences between the three.

From what I have been reading sounds like the US version of the one series is just a glorified amaze. I don't get why everyone is so fired up to run out and get it and bail out on the amaze, this device has some great potential, and if a bunch of people drop it for a "not so improved" one then our user base goes down and slows support.

We'll get s-off and ICS, probably AOSP too, just gotta be patient.

I, for one, am glad I invested in the amaze instead of holding out for the one, just to pay more money for essentially the same device. I read all the hype and rumors about the "edge" with tegra 3 and quad core, made it sound so great, then when it came down to the wire, we didn't get it. Just a tamed down version.

Amaze is great phone, we just need a Lil more lovin, which will more than likely change once we get ics... I'm sure once its released, development will take off.

I would never buy a phone without msd slot, if I wanted an iPhone id buy one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
"Currently, you can compile CM9 for a small number of devices- notably the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi and T-Mobile versions), the HP Touchpad and Motorola Xoom. The next devices to show up will likely be a whole array of Samsung phones (Exynos chipset), with devices based on the Qualcomm MSM8660 and 7×30 chipsets to follow. It’s still unclear if we can provide support for the QSD8x50 family of devices (Nexus One, HTC Evo, etc), but the answer almost always turns out to be “yes” for these kinds of things.

As our hardware support improves, I’ll keep this blog updated. As much as we’d like to stay ahead of the manufacturers, it may be a tie this time Thanks for the continued support, and please consider dropping us a buck or two using the link at the bottom of the page if you enjoy CyanogenMod."

Here is a cm9 update posted on CM website and Twitter @scepterr. Doesn't look good for Amaze and CM9. Not to mention, CM is having a $7000 fundraiser to try and buy new server machines. Don't hold your breath

Yes, I've been keeping up with those, I'm not holding my breath but I'm hopeful.

I wish I knew how to compile and build and do some more advanced type programming/coding, if I did, believe me I would be working on the s-off issue and building ICS from source.

The HTC One S is my next phone! It's getting a Snapdragon S4 Dual Core processor with an Adreno 225 GPU! It's faster than the Tegra 3 Quad Core because most applications aren't optimized for multiple cores.

For Example the Phenom II 1100T has 6 cores and it's still slower than the Core i5 760 which only has 4 cores.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5563/qualcomms-snapdragon-s4-krait-vs-nvidias-tegra-3/1

I also heard that the US is getting the S4 Snapdragon in the One X/XL because the Tegra doesn't support some networks. I don't mind that because the S4 is better than the Tegra.
