I had the sensation for a couple weeks before I jumped and it was well worth it. main reasons for ME is more RAM, better camera; enough said.

my sensation had a really bad issue with the screen, im sure you could find the thread somewhere in the sensation general forums :p

Pictures OBVIOUSLY not taken with an Amaze camera ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] hyperkamote:
is tha sensation has still the landscape death grip issue? That is why it keep me holding back to get the sensation and instead got the Aamaze...
[HTC Amaze 4G] dtdub:
I've had the Sensation for about 6 months now (upgraded from N1). I picked up an Amaze 1 week ago and I am also trying to decide if I like it enough to make the switch...

Some observations:

1) I can't figure out how people are holding the Amaze that the protruding screen is a problem. I agree it's not the best design, but overall a non-issue for me.

2) I've noticed a bit of light bleeding up from the bottom of the screen which washes out darker colors. I'm not sure if this is a defect on just my unit?

Edit: I guess this is the known problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488861

3) The colors overall seem to be more saturated and warmer than on the Sensation's screen

4) The camera effects (like vignette and dots) are accessed through a very clunky menu where previews are not provided. Lame.

5) The 2nd camera is MUCH better and actually covered in the front glass, which means it is not CONSTANTLY covered in dust and dirt like the open one on the Sensation.

6) Scrolling around on webpages doesn't feel as smooth as on the Sensation. I keep trying them both side-by-side, but I can't really decide if this is actually true. Maybe the ICS update for the Amaze will help?

Also, when flicking the page up and down, it the Amaze doesn't scroll as fast - is this a setting somewhere perhaps?

7) The Amaze is SIGNIFICANTLY heavier feeling than the Sensation. I think you can feel the difference in thickness the most, despite the Amaze only being 1mm (?) thicker.

8) With the same moderate usage throughout the day, I feel like the Amaze has noticeably longer battery life.

Where do you find the benefit of the additional RAM most noticeable?

I replaced my sensation with the amazing Amaze about 3 months ago. And I don't have any regret what so ever..sensation is a great phone but nothing like the Amaze...to me the different is like night and day. Or in another word the Amaze is a sensation on steroids... Lol.. The camera,the speed, sound, especially the speaker phone, screen, the over all quality is higher that's beside the solid feel in your hand. The only thing it lacks is the development as every one else mentioned but this is temporary and it's going to be over soon and you will have ton's of roms and mods for this phone...shortly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ed116:
i remember i bought the captivate when it first came out (it was soo cool back in the day) and development didnt even pick up till 1 year after. its bene like 2 years since launch and its the most developed phone in XDA i believe. wow. The amaze is simply better then the sensation. The sensation is older therefor has older hardware ,,, the 1GB ram will be noticably better in ICS and its just better to have .. i was going to switch for an S2X but i love the amaze's camera by far the best. i just hope we get sense 4.0 as this isnt that old of a device. Its relativley new (atleast here in canada)
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Ain't That The Truth :D:D

Ordered my Amaze on DAY ONE 10/10/11 - NO FREAKIN" REGRETS

Just wait till some switch for some new phone with internal battery & memory, then they will ***** about that after two days "oh boo hoo, I made a mistake, why didn't you guys stop me" :):D
[HTC Amaze 4G] RussianBear:
lol amaze's camera is a lot more responsive than sensation's
[HTC Amaze 4G] spiz516:
Ever since purchasing this phone, I wish I had ditched TMo and gone to Verizon for the GNex.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Goten310:
I was wanting to ditch Tmo and go to Verizon for the Gnex also but decided to get the Amaze instead. Not one regret. For me at least the service is great and I would be paying almost double with Verizon. I played with the Gnex... Pretty cool and all but when I pick up my Amaze again no regrets.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
sell both and get the One S
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
I jumped from the sensation and i regret nothing, this phone is a total beast, even the one s that is coming out, the amaze is still better. Just waiting for more development and everything will be perfect
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
yeah and I would rather keep my sd card slot
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
not just that.. not being able to swap batteries is one of the biggest factors.. I've been a htc phone addict for many years now. and the one series seems like a big fail to me. I'm so glad that the amaze is one of the last heavy HTC build.. this phone is solid. just hurry up with ics and 4.0 sense please...
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
you posted this in the sensation forums too right? notice how each side is biased lol, i still stand behind my last statement, trade the amaze for a sensation and make some money out of it like me and enjoy the countless number of roms to choose from while losing no functionality ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
ive never swapped a battery in my phone since I had the G1. never had the need to
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol. I wouldn't take this advice. The Sensation? Just because a phone has more ROMs and Development doesn't make it better, especially when it can only dream of the DL speed of the Amaze. The sensation is a lesser quality device. If you have a phone just to be a crack flasher and flash new roms every day/week and don't care that your phone is a tool, then have at it. But every dev I've chatted with has preferred the Amaze to the Sensation... Same goes for all phone reviews and dog fights. But if you want all of your roms, then do as u wish. It's your money, phone, experience, and decision. Why have a bunch of biased strangers make real life decisions for you any way? If I listened to most peoples advice in the xda forums, I'd have a new phone every day. To each their own. Every phone has a trial grace period. Try them both and make up your mind for yourself. It will make u feel better about yourself in the long run
[HTC Amaze 4G] RussianBear:
i've ended up trading the amaze for ifail 4 + cash. trying to make some money. amaze was a very nice phone, but i'm "in love" with my sensation + we have an interesting thread going on in the dev section that i need the sensation for as well. thank you for all your responses, guys!
[HTC Amaze 4G] LS1_01:
I'm debating to keep mine as well since I notice that the bottom left part of the phone locks but still seems to be not 100 locked into the back cover as it pushes down a bit when pressed hard. Is this normal?
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
agreed, It gets on my nerves when people say another phone is better JUST because its development is better. like ive said before, a phone being better out of the box is tons better than a phone not.

compare the sensation with the amaze both not rooted with stock ROMs. with the sensation I always had less than 200mb of ram and then when I installed (I have a ton of apps) all my apps it went down even further to not even abother 150mb. with the amaze I can have over 60 apps and still have over 200mb of ram. the wifi is also noticeably stronger which can NOT be changed via software unless you want to risk some things. screen is also noticeably better, with the amaze the digitizer and lcd don't look like they have any space at all which is great for watching videos and playing games.

I could go on but im not. I had the sensation for about a month, I tried to like it but it had too many issues, every time I took of the battery cover I was afraid to break the damn thing since it was so flimsy. I also like to have good cameras (amaze dominates the sensation over both cameras). just my 2 cents. its not worth the extra $50-$100 imo since the new HTC devices will take a long while hit retail, the amaze doesn't have bad development.

why don't you guys go over to the dell streak forum and then say ours is bad.. lol

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401030 this is what happened to mine I thought it was because I bought it from ebay, but other people had the issue too.

the only good thing about the sensation forums is how nice/helpful the people are. we could use some of that
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
you must have not chatted with many devs then... lol, cuz it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that there aren't many devs in the amaze community, and i highly doubt s-off is the main reason for that as well...

and yes, stock for stock the amaze is better, so for the average consumer that won't ever mod their phone, the amaze would be the better choice, but we aren't the average consumer now aren't we? lol

i never said the sensation was better JUST because of rom development, just that it was a huge plus... :rolleyes:

not only that but you can make a profit off of it, another huge plus...

not to mention no capacitive button screen bleed, nor camera flash bleed, yet another huge plus... but i guess each device has its own problems, but my sensation has none ;)

as far as performance goes, the amaze looks better on paper, but hate to break it to you, but hardware acceleration tweaks make those differences negligible...

the only real things the amaze has over the sensation are it looks (debatable), better 4g speed capabilities (depending on your area), and a better camera (which also has its own added problem as mentioned above)... lol :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol Xboarder and NRG said the Amaze is better. That's 2 devs right there that legitimately own and dev for both devices. Go figure other devs who don't own the device to say their phone is better without any bias. (most overseas, Amaze is a North America phone and isn't marketed overseas, hence lack of devs - doesn't take rocket science).

Bottom line is this is an opinion question and all answers are going to be biased due to personal needs and preferences. I'll tell you this much, I wouldn't downgrade my Amaze for a Sensation. And if u were to downgrade the Amaze to the Sensation, I'm sure you would get offered $ to go with the trade. Which is weird since the Sensation is so much better. :sly:

If you judge a phone on how much development it has, then you're obviously not looking at the big picture. The Toshiba Thrive is better than most tablets out there, but since xda buried the device, is that not any good? I mean really?

Edit: X and NRG may have been talking about the Amaze being > SGS2... So I'm sorry if I misquote
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
The amaze has more potential

There's a already a fix for Screen

Bleeding for root and non root users

Camera flash can also be fixed

It's a little bulkier and heavier but it still feels really nice

I use to have the sensation and it was a Good phone no doubt, but this phone with HW acceleration is wayyy faster, smoother, the extra Ram helps with any lag that might happen but never does, and helps with big games

Sensation gets more attention because it had better marketing, and more carriers that's why it has more devs!!:D :beer:
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
i understand, and no worries i'm not trying to fight or argue here, i loved the amaze, but to me development on a phone matters, and apparently it matters to plenty of others here as well, after all you can just look through all the threads created about people complaining for htc to give them s-off, what purpose does that serve other than to progress development?

even the ****tiest of phones can be made awesome with some good development behind it, and unfortunately with the amaze's end of life preceding the sensations, the chances decrease of the amaze's dev community growing, after all if less amaze's are being sold in stores, less people are going to be able to buy them, right?

and ultimately that means in order for someone to get an amaze, someone else is gonna have to sell theirs, also if the amaze is so much better than the sensation, why did htc decide to end its shelf life so soon, even before the sensation? lol :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
"Even the ****tiest phones can be made awesome with development." If you already have an awesome phone, why do you need more development. NRG gave us a stable 3.0 ROM, he's working on 3.5, and ICS update from HTC is coming. That release will provide ground work for more development if you want it.

I think all the complaining and whining about a top tier phone is ludacris. EOL because it's virtually the same phone as the new ones set come out. Lol

Remember this, you will never have time to use your phone as the phone/tool it is if you're constantly too busy in recovery flashing ****. Just saying :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
if you don't care about camera quality, sell the amaze and wait for newer phones to come out, even newer than the htc one!
[HTC Amaze 4G] DeadWestern Shogun:
The Amaze is a catch 22 i think. its specs are amazing, they continue to debut phone that match up to the amaze with the same specs, and say how amazing they are. so the amaze is up there with the powerhouses. i see so many post about problems with it though. roms? the rom pond is damn near dry. but we have promises of cm7 0r 9 and now htc one rom. if those DONT come to fruition, im selling my amaze, cause ill have lost all hope.

Hey guys,

Just letting you know that the Android Market has renamed to the Play Store™.

Google Music has also renamed to Play Music ...etc.

Also, there's a 50% sale in the Market, um....I mean Play Store so it seems as if some selected paid apps are.0.49! (EUROPEAN € )

It should update automatically.

If not, download it here.

Hi..Guys,

I am Experiencing an error that my system has both "Market" And "Play Store" both in it. Both are working.

cleared cache, cleared delvik cache, also fully wiped it but after opening market, I have both on my system.

What to do now??

Dual boot WP7 mango and android from the same sd card which latest sd build can i use ?

Hey friends as mentioned in the title I just want to know out of all the amazing sd builds which one can I use to dual boot with WP7. i tried a few but all say that they are compatible to boot with WM6.5 but couldnt find a sd build capable of dual booting with WP7 and also when looking for such a ROM what are the basic things I should check please advise ( My main intention of using android would be for gaming) Awaiting your help CHEERS
[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
You read it wrong and that is your problem. Compatible with WM6.5 doesn't mean they are incompatible to boot with WP7 or Mango.

Oops my bad thanks for the reply mate but when i try to boot several roms are giving me an error dont remember the error though will post the error as I go home thanks again, but does this mean all sd builds are compatible with dual booting Wp7
[HD2 General] clio94:
No they are not all roms compatible but only the sd roms that say in title that are for magldr.Ιn some sd roms like ics roms that are magldr compatible you can run them directly.For older roms in the rom thread it says what file you must change to make the rom to boot from magldr

[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
With MAGLDR.

Once you have your WP7.5 installed, unlock the card (depending on the WP version, might or might not be required), insert into a card reader and create a folder in the ROOT called ICS. Then unzip and transfer your Android ICS version into that folder. Reinsert card. In MAGLDR go to Services, BootSettings, Boot source and select: 1. Android from SD, then in the same place move to 4.AD SD Dir and select ICS (which is the folder into which you transferred your Android install).

When booting you will have your WP in a first position and your Android second.

Yes, Mango is installed on Nand, so you upgrade WM6.5 to Mango first, then you get your Android to run off SD.
