[MENTION=2572863]Double0EK[/MENTION] Yeah I did that already I came prepared lol :D

The only way I know if it's truly unlocked now is to cut my SIM (I have to do it the ghetto way, with scissors, and a diagram of a micro sim lol). Since I don't have an official SIM cutter.

After that it's time to root! (Should be easy peasy because samsung didn't lock the bootloader!)

[MENTION=4935918]SuperAfnan[/MENTION] I dont really watch the AT&T S3 forums but lmk how it works with Tmo LTE. Might try and get one to toy with.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
[MENTION=2572863]Double0EK[/MENTION] I'll LYK! :)

You might want the T999L version though it's basically a T-mobile S3 with LTE. They are really similar between AT&T and T-mobile and the Canadian carriers.

So I live in a pretty affluent suburb (woodbury, mn). I live in a "luxury townhone." But I'm from Minneapolis and I swear the hood came out of me this morning. Construction worker at 7am lucky he didn't get tagged.... ugh
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:

In other news. .. flashed my first rom last night.. im using Tweaked. Why did I take so damn long?
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Lmao months later... better late than never
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Not for library books. :D

First post on this thread with my S3. Is it just me or is everyone ditching HTC? Almost everyone here on this thread is using a Samsung. lol I think we got discouraged since they orphaned the amaze. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Lop everyone but [MENTION=848723]hasoon2000[/MENTION] and I think [MENTION=4288905]EclipzeRemix[/MENTION] dumped his s3 for the One... smh

But yeah, everyone else is going to samsung... a company that encourages development, update support, and better devices period
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
Dont forget me! Ive got the One and loving it... F**k samsung!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
lol this is the Samsung/HTC war. :D I like my s3 more than my amaze or any other phone so far. If they have keep support until android 5.0 key lime pie I'm probably not buying HTC again. :)

HTC would probably make a better and improved HTC one and stab their users by dropping support because that's pretty much what they did to the amaze. They even updated the original note to jb and the s2! :what:
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I remember when I left the amaze for the s3... everyone here had something to say about how the s3 isn't as good or any better than the amaze... then everyone got paid and upgraded. Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
I understand s3 might have more support than the amaze..but how much more support do u want on the one? Lol so many good devs are working for it...we got team venom we got official cm support we got official PA u name it...but its personal preference i guess just cant stand samsung they dont tend to feel good in my hand..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Not hating on HTC but Samsung did upgrade the S2. My wife was happy she can use IG Videos because I upgraded her firmware. As for my old Amaze and HTC...I dont see jack diddlly. Glad my wife surprised me with the Galaxy Note2. No turning back now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Such a good woman! U have a keeper :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Guys, Ive said it before and I'll say it again...HTC is not what's up anymore. Samsung is where its at. I PROMISE you guys that hop from the amaze to either the s3 or the s4 will never look back on HTC again. That is, if they ever come up with some real competition. I once had a love affair with HTC, but my s3 threw all that **** out the window...LOL :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Lol we're in the same boat. :D Now to get this BEAST activated.

Im going to use it on T-Mobile once I get a new sim (I cut it to micro size the ghetto way but it won't pop in right lol).

I am loving touchwiz jelly bean more than sense even though it's sketchy (literally, it looks like it's hand drawn). :)

So glad I picked it over the droid DNA and one x or one x+ (thought of it but said nah).

How hot has your battery ever got? (Mines 42°c)

Can't tell if I sent this from my Nexus 7 or my Ace-i...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Nope I think the rom I'm running has them disabled. :cool:

Put your phone in the freezer.

42c sounds way to high. You could burn it from the inside out.

And on another note, I finally got aws 1700 unlocked and enabled. AT&T leaves them there but keeps them software disabled. Taking an unlocked AT&T S3 to T-mobile is like slapping AT&T in the face lol.

Now they just have to roll out LTE in my neighborhood and I'm set.

Lte from AT&T phones should work with t-mobile, AT&T didn't lock it down.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Did you try the 'fast.t-mobile.com' APN?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Not yet - I'll try now! Apns are in settings right? I remember them in voice dialer on HTC phones.

And I'm getting 5 1/2 hours screen on time! That's amazing!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
my HTC One is wayyy better than my S3, and the way I have it set up its better than any S4 I've used

only negative of the one is the 4.7 inch screen, would like a 5' but whatever
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
For me 4.7 is the best part!! But overall one is better than gs4:thumbup:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Just tried it - I enabled mobile network with the toggle, then it turned on HSPA, then it turned off, back on, off, now it's back on and hasn't turned off. Maybe it's just getting used to the apn. I didn't get any LTE though. It's probably not in my house yet. It might be around Jacksonville in some places though.

Do we have to put the bearer as Lte and the ip protocol as IPV4 of IPV6? Or both? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Yeah...? I mean... if u get rid of sense 5, it's a pretty decent device. It has absolutely zero cool features, a smaller screen, worse camera, and slightly weaker cpu... but my biggest beef was I had to do a mod to make the htc logo the menu button, the app drawer was like 3x3 and vertical, and blinkfeed<flipboard.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Did you change your network mode to show LTE? I have my APN set to IPV4/IPV6 ..
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Are we really going to talk about the s4 and the one again? :rolleyes: Aj, you should just make a poll for if people like the s4 or one better.

My vote is for the s4, I dislike the lack of removable battery, no SD slot, it's metal, sense 5 looks like sense 4 and is getting boring. (It's nothing new from the looks of it).

I'm starting to like TW better than sense :eek: even though it looks cartoony.

Samsung also has more features (even enabling battery percentage and changing fonts blew my mind lol). They have more bells and whistles.

Another thing is Samsung actually cares about users, and updates their crap :p. HTC? Nope, make it EOL and release a newer phone! Example : HTC_AMAZE_4G :banghead:

Samsung doesn't lock the bootloader either, and there's no need for S OFF! :) They have pleased me way more than HTC ever did. Thanks to my friend Sam :cool:

And also, forget sense! You can just mildly theme touch wiz and tada! You just created HTC sense. Lmao. Someone also ported sense 5 to the T-mobile S3.

I think Samsung is making HTC look like apple (yes I just said that). When you really look at it, HTC phones are locked, have bootloader security, and take forever to update. Dannnngggg Samsung you're killing it! :D

Fanboy moment of the day is over.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I love how u start off with

And then go on a novel sized rant about the same thing

Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
[MENTION=2572863]Double0EK[/MENTION] I set it up for IPV4/IPV6 and chose Lte as the bearer. Lte didn't come up :(. Looks like Lte isn't in my neighborhood yet. I'll see around Jacksonville later they should have it downtown by now, I'll wait for it to spread. At least I got wcdma working :D. But I have wifi so it doesn't really matter.

I also think I'm getting better cell signal with my s3 with a bulky case compared to my Amaze without a case.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I just had to get my opinion off my chest and put it out so everyone here can see it. Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
:p you sound p negative there m8

the camera is a better performer, takes photos faster and focuses faster

the CPU is the same, it's only clocked lower for better battery, a custom kernel easily OCs it to 2.1 GHz

App drawer is 4x4 not 3x3 and you could easily get a custom launcher if it bugs you out, it's not a downside more of a personal choice eh?

it has a couple if nice features in the camera, IR blaster (S4 has it also) dual speakers completely destroyes the S4's in audio quality

Metal design > Plastic

ok no SD Card slot but the phone comes in 32gb minimum so why is this still an issue?

performence wise the HTC One is better in it's UI and it looks better than TW's horrific icon designs

Load a Google Edition Rom on the HTC One and you have an aluminum 1080p Nexus.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
Exactly, show your opinion so everyone knows what your about, Everyone judge's but it only matters to the one's who listen & fallow you especially now since you have a few roms out. Don't forget this is not a popularity contest even though a lot & a lot of people actually think that. It only matters that your willing to show your surport to help out around the community for the better use. & yes you'll come across some trolls that will tell you off & if so yes bite back or just ignore the ignorance that's it but anyway great job so far [MENTION=4935918]SuperAfnan[/MENTION] for all the great & hard work plus the hours you spent on your work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Me personally I always prefer HTC. Software wise I can always change it to whatever I want. I don't need that much OEM support to make something that fits my needs The only thing I can't change is hardware and look and feel which HTC dominates Samsung in. I prefer a high end feeling device rather than plastic. If your looking at a device for OEM support and good feel go with sony. Anyway that's why I will always prefer HTC unless theres a nexus device cause they are always quality.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Thanks [MENTION=2969758]justin lamantia[/MENTION] for the advice. And thank you for doing hard work with theming. You should be promoted to themer instead of a Senior member your themes were very unique and good.

And yeah I wish HTC updated their stuff more often, that's one of the main things I'm dissapointed with HTC. Sense is very polished and favorable (I think it's boring now only because I used it for 2+ years straight so don't mind me lol.)

Imagine if HTC updated the Sensation AND Amaze to Jellybean. Instead of tossing them into hell after 6+ months. They would be MILES ahead of Samsung! In fact HTC removed the Amaze from their website, as if it were a curse, and they tried to deny its existence. .

HTC dominates in hardware, Samsung dominates in Software. IMO

Hardware quality is nice but it doesn't matter to me because I can just get a case.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
Your absolutely right, I've loved sense only on 3.0 or 3.6 after that it went down hill only for the UI PART but why change things all together & to add other things, I say NO... But like I said that's just my opinion & everyone else's have there own. I say keep sense 3.6 & add all the fun stuff to that. That's what I say. But yes I'm on your side. LOL
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yeah I wish they didn't change stuff for the worse, (for example, making the settings WHITE and not BLACK. No racialness intended lol.)

And why did HTC take away the menu button!? That's just annoying!

Android IMO requires a Menu, Home, and Back button.

The Amaze had 4 buttons, the Home, Menu, Back, and Search (extra but good!). And the HTC One has only a home and back button, thank goodness a custom kernel makes the 'HTC' button function as a menu button. They need to stop taking away small things that make the phone good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Man... I'm telling u... for those that never tried sense 3.5... it was by far the best ever.

I played with my friends HTC vivid with ics update......I am blown away!!!

We went out for dinner with a couple friends a few weeks ago and his phone was super laggy (major choppyines when scrolling through home screens)and now it literally destroyed and put my phone to shame =[

I'm tired of people saying "Idk why everyone wants ics. With sense over it you can barely tell its there" and remarks a long those lines.

Ice cream sandwich is AMAZING and INCREDIBLY smooth with sense. Browser blew me away, scrolling, better integration, just EVERYTHING, it makes android feel so complete!!!

This makes me feel excited for our update!!! Even future sense 4 roms

Ics is mind blowing! Don't listen to all the negatives about it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
It's because it supports dual core phones that's why It's smoother.

I did my research and saw development was lacking, but I also realized that this phone is only 6 months old, but still went ahead and bought it. Sure dev is slow and I'm not complaining, cm9 and s-off are close so I'll be patient. And I still don't regret getting my amaze it's a pretty damn good phone even stock.

[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
By that logic, I can put on any Rom I want on a phone and for free too! Cases cost money roms don't; HTC has optimized their software to the point that there is zero lag, my claim will be backed by any HTC one user, can't say the same for Samsungs latest device.

Regarding security, all you have to do is unlock boatload via HTC dev and you can flash any Rom or kernel you like. If you got the developer edition of HTC one the bootloader comes factory unlocked hence you can literally flash a custom recovery out of the box and flash any Rom or kernel, I don't know how much easier HTC could have made it for users to enjoy the custom Rom experience...no need for s-off.

Can't keep judging a company based solely on the mistakes of the past, they have upped their game significantly and actually have Samsung concerned enough that Samsung ended up paying students to trash talk the HTC one online. That in itself speaks volumes to the shear quality of the device. What D.U.G likes is stuff that can be simulated by free apps on the play store (most of Samsung's gimmicks) but you can't get rid of the lag without flashing an aosp Rom, touchwiz is way too bloated with crap, hence argument regarding software on a phone is weak at best.

Removing the menu button was a call made by Google a while back (with the on-screen buttons and in app menu bar) HTC is just following those guidelines, not that I agree with such a setup (hence my logo button is a menu button which is very convenient), but it's the way that Google wants. Is there a menu button on the nexus 4?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
Wtf :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Touchwiz is snappier than sense ever was. (at least Sense 4 and below, can't say for sense 5). I'm sure HTC sped up sense 5 (It's about time :rolleyes:). But I was talking about the actual software support, not the actual UI. HTC is miserable at software support. Samsung is one of the best. They updated the S2 to jelly bean. Did the amaze get jelly bean? Heck no. They also make phones EOL way too early (6 months) while Samsung keeps support for at least 18 months. :cool:

Samsung always unlocks their bootloaders. HTC has just now decided to make a "dev edition" which is probably way more expensive than the official version. All of Samsung's phones have the bootloader unlocked and there is no need for a Juopunutbear exploit on a Samsung. (thank you unlimited.io for fixing HTC's mistake :rolleyes:). HTC just makes life difficult. :banghead: Samsung doesn't have that problem. :D

I never heard of Samsung paying kids to trash talk HTC online. That sounds a bit far.

The lack of buttons is just annoying at the very least to me. It wastes precious screen space!

The metal on the One is going to get really hot, or freezing cold. Not good for Florida, Hyderabad, Texas, and then hot places. Nor is it good for Russia, Canada, or up north. The metal may feel nice, but once it hits a weather condition you're screwed lol. Metal conducts heat and coldness very well.

Both phones will shatter anyway if you drop them there's no reason to talk about durability being superior on either one.

I don't want to buy HTC phones again primarily because THEY TAKE FOREVOR TO RELEASE SOURCE!!!

☆★☆ Infamous Team Member ☆★☆
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
Why? What's the problem?
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I downloaded the 12.04 iso image and put it onto a dvd. Tried rebooting and got no option to dual boot. So I ran the wubi application and rebooted. It gave me option to dual boot like image above but when I hit ubuntu I get that message shown above. I went into efi boot and disabled secure boot and fast bios boot and still get that message. Windows boots fine but no ubuntu installer.

My last laptop I got yrs ago had windows 7 and installation of ubuntu 11.04 was so much easier. Put it on a cd, reboot and install. Ugggggggh

☆★☆ Infamous Team Member ☆★☆
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
I think you'll have to uninstall wubi and just create a partition from Windows. Wubi has been discontinued (it was pretty sh*t in the first place) and partitioning your hard drive is the way to go.

You can always run Ubuntu in a virtual machine which is the easiest of all options.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
How?

Do you mind explaining how to partition correctly? I'm confused by it, and I'm a noob at using Linux-based operating systems. :o

And yeah Wubi isn't that great, Windows wants to be the dominate system on the machine anyway.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
If you have more than 3 local disks with basic type install windows and ubuntu in different partitions.. Its way more easier also there an app called Linux usb creator download that and make the Linux key from it to a usb or cd then change your bios to boot removable disk 1st (if booting from a pen drive) and ubuntu will run live mode then install it to a different partition... (if you have dynamic you'll have only one option so make sure you have basic partition types)
