[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Just thought id let you guys know I am still alive :) ...things r pretty ****ty right now hence my absence. If anyone has an old android phone they don't want that's just in the back of some drawer somewhere I could really use a phone. IDC if its so old it runs froyo I just need something lol. If not its cool just thought id throw it out there. Hopefully unemployment comes through for me and soon. Since my job screwed me. Thankfully I got a few good family members still or id be sleeping in my car haha. Which to top things off I came out to it with a completely smashed windshield.. asshole..oh but wait there's more.. along with my Xbox 360 smashed on the sidewalk next to my car since it was in my trunk (why you wouldn't take this idfk!?) All this and not a effing dollar to my name

LOL well that's my week how is everyone else doing :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
O ya I completely forgot the whole reason I came to post... has anyone hearrd of "BlueStacks"? Its a program that let's you download and run android apps from windows or mac. Pretty sick, I'm typing this from the xda app on my computer right now :thumbup:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Haha yea I used to use it when i had my Nokia flip phone lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I use it for my daughters Kindle Fire HD, she got as a gift, because the Amazon store sucks major hairy ball sacks.

Tough luck on your whole '****uation' ive been there before and its not fun. Keep your head up!

My old phones were destroyed by my kids otherwise id send you one. Maybe I have and old Moto cliqXT thats stuck on doughnut. . I have to look.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:

I'm getting ready to chuck my laptop and destroy every pc with windows 8 and its stupid new bios setup on the earth. :banghead::banghead::banghead::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Edit... I think I FINALLY GOT IT

☆★☆ Infamous Team Member ☆★☆
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
dell sux

I feel the same pain...

I have a DELL :mad:

The BIOS is LOCKED...!!!

Screw dell lol you can't do anything with a locked bios from my knowledge. You can't clock it higher. :(

But you might have Ubuntu working on it now... :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I've got a sammy (sammy phone, tv, laptop, I'd by a sammy car if they madw one) and they replaced bios with some efi or some ****... it is just different. After I did it, I realized it wasn't very hard but it's just different from what im used to.

I fukkin hate this new Toshiba Laptop I bought 2 months ago. What was Windows thinking about worth Windows 8. I think I'm gonna downgrade to 7.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Everyone I've talked to that has windows 8 hates it. It reminds me of Sense/Touchwiz... a bunch of unnecessary bloat.... ugh

☆★☆ Infamous Team Member ☆★☆
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
To me it seems like they tried to make it like their mobile OS... but I guess they haven't realized that their mobile OS sucks lol.. ya eff win 8
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
For a second I thought you were talking about Tizen (Samsung people should of heard of it by now) lol. Yeah that OS is umm... Kinda weak.

And yes windows 8 is a downgrade. Windows 7 is the way to go! They removed the start menu, made it look funny, and they're trying to copy apple. (even though Microsoft has shares in apple, which are secret to the public). :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
My sister sent me this pic. They're getting ready to head back statesside...cant wait to see her!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Those are huge backpacks! :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Thats a girl alright - check our All that luggage :cool:

Glad she is coming back safe and sound dude :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Well there is more than just one person coming back. I'm sure each backpack belongs to a different soldier. I don't think you would be allowed to have all that for one person; either way it wouldn't be smart for one person to have all that

:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
We brown people don't pack light LOL. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Ha Ha ..I know that AJ ... its a joke, no way the army would allow one soldier that much stuff, they would spend the time transporting luggage and nothing else :D

It was just funny to see a girl standing beside all that stuff - if she was going on vacation.... now Yes that would be all hers ;)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Samsung just updated the S2+ to 4.2.2.. before the other flagship phones. Smh

http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/08/02/samsung-galaxy-s2-plus-android-4-2-2-update-amazement/
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
:eek: Whoah! I see it as greats news for us though. If they upgrade a minor device such as the S2+ they will definitely upgrade the S3, and Note 2 owners to 4.2.2 or 4.3! That gives us all hope! :)

But really! Who bought the S2+?? For one, it was released after the S2 was dying, it's pretty much the S2, and it was released during the S3's life cycle. Why didn't people just buy the S2 or S3? I guess it's just international lol.

But I think the reason they're doing it is to test how 4.2.2 will work on their flagship phones. They are using it as a lab rat :p. The S2 will probably get the same update because it's so similar. The "big boys" will definitely get updated, to either 4.2 or 4.3. Not sure which one though.

Man, if Samsung updates the S3 to Key Lime Pie (5.0) when it comes out, I would be amazed (no puns for our ancient amazes :rolleyes:), that would be an absolutely brilliant track record. I just hope Google releases it in early 2014.

Look at HTC, our Amazes are on 4.0 still while the S2+ (worse specs than the amaze) gets 4.2.2. That's a darn shame, no wonder HTC has been doing so bad. :( I don't hate HTC I'm just really disappointed with them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Its been rumored that the Note2 will skip the 4.2.2 and go to 4.3. I know nothing major has changed but im ready for an OS update. Whatever Samsung has in store has to be a good thing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
I read somewhere that the s2 won't get the jellybean update because Qualcomm has refused to support the chip that's inside it, which shows that sometimes updates aren't in the hands of the oem (samsung devices receive the most support because they are the most popular) and as we know the amaze was never a popular device from the get go...

On a side note Samsung has been caught overclocking s4 gpu to 533mhz in bench marking apps (which is theoretically impossible to maintain) while their max gpu speed is 480mhz even in the most intense of games. This was revealed by Anandtech and they revealed that part of Samsung's code was modified to improve bench mark scores aka "benchmark booster". Quite unethical...

They have also been caught again trying to promote their apps by bribing developers to post in comment sections of various tech sites...can't trust this company imo...they have resorted to Microsoft like tactics thank God people have choices in the mobile world...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Ok Sandman don't come crying to us when your HTC One gets EOL, betrayed, and completely abandoned then gets left in the dust in less than a year. :) While the S4 gets Key Lime Pie and beyond! :D

And benchmarks are obsolete, the only benchmark you need is real world use. Rom chefs, modders, and kernel chefs can easily trick the benchmarks and put numbers out of this world.

On another note, I would rather come to a company that does pointless things like that, yet still updates their software and devices, rather than a company that could care less about users and abandons them. Everyone who bought a Samsung after the amaze basically slapped HTC in the face for not giving us what we want.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
I don't think you read the first paragraph of my comment, if the chip manufacturer abandons support for the device there is nothing the oem can do about it, I was also under the impression that HTC was screwing us but that's not the case, it was Qualcomm that abandoned support for the device just like it has threatened to do with the s2...no need to get all riled up I read about this and the issues plaguing android updates and it was made clear that the chip manufacturer has to keep supporting the device for it to continue to receive updates. Samsung produces their own exynos chip so they can push updates to those devices as long as they desire, however the s2 has a Qualcomm chip which leaves Samsung helpless as well. Does the s2+ have an exynos chip by any chance?

HTC one is a very popular device hence it will receive support for a while, 4.3 kernel source and certain files have already been officially released by HTC for the one...so I'm pretty sure the device will continue to get support.

You don't have to worry either because the s3 was such a popular device that Samsung will support it for a while, however that doesn't mean much as other than the Galaxy series and Note series Samsung devices have pretty crappy update history as well (because those devices aren't very popular).

Just sharing what I have read you are more than welcome to Google.

Regarding the benchmark statement well its unethical, because every tech review site will post bench marks and while they don't mean much they can be a deciding factor to sway people on the edge and doing such things is quite despicable, no need to defend it because what's wrong is wrong...

Edit: OTA for Android 4.3 Google play edition of HTC one has been pushed by HTC :), not sure what's going on with s4 but I'm sure they will be in hot pursuit
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
The S2+ uses a BROADCOMM (not QUALCOMM) actually. So it was their decision to support it.

But I really don't see why someone who had the Amaze would buy the One, after being spat in the face by HTC AND Qualcomm. Fanboyzzz.... >.>

Just because it was unpopular doesn't mean you have to turn it into an Orphan and never update it ever. They should've at least updated it to 4.1.1. More people might actually buy HTC products if they heard that HTC has updated their phones to Jellybean.

That's why I chose Samsung. :D They have a much better track record.

Oh and the S2+ was less popular than the Amaze, yet they still updated it. Come on HTC you can do better than that!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well imo samsung has some cheap hardware inside most of their phones that eynox or what ever thing and S2 phones came under 3 different chipsets, 19100 with eynox, 19100G with ti omap and the S2+ with broadcom.. so I'm not sure bout the updates, also samsung's most flagship phones have different hardware chipsets even the S4, the 19505 have Qualcomm and the 19500 has eynox, but htc release MOST of their phones with high quality hardware equally to all phones.. Also bout the updates sense is a really complicated high end perfect UI they modify the whole system 60-70% to a very unique architecture which is a lil different than how google release it (the writing style not a completely new architecture) , so that's why they abandon their users a lil early than others cuz it's ALOT of work in their end alot investment and it needs a lil extra requirements than the asop version requirements ... Also software wise htc release almost every update or phone software to the perfection bug free, samsung do release updates frequently but most of their phones come with bugs out of the box so they push alot system updates :p and people say yay we got updates lol but I admit samsung give alot more updates than htc do... Well also imo most people want a working device except for geeks like us who waiting for updates but for majority of people they want a bug free fully working perfect looking nice phone which samsung lacks but htc have.. That's my PERSONAL opinion.. even I'm disappointed in htc but still I'd go for a htc phone any day... If I'm wrong at something please correct me cuz it's in my knowledge :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I think you're mostly right. But having more updates is still better for us geeks since we do crazy stuff with our phones.

LG usually has errors in their updates (in my experience).

HTC and Samsung are the best right now IMO but HTC is slacking.

On another note, SUPER SENSE is being updated right now :).
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
+1 when looking at this in a geeky eye ;) lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
You boys stay on topic please!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Guys I got a HTC One. :D

Edit : Samsung is still better. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Your forgetting the tmous s2 which came with the msm8660
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Did you really? Or is that the non completed rom? Or is that an ugly sense theme? Lmao
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Sports - what are you running on the N4?

Have u left is stock or have u rooted and all that?

I am seriously considering getting one, not giving up the Amaze though
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
What about it?

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

It's a fake! :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Ding Ding Ding

Ding ding ding!

It's an (ugly A$$) Sense theme.

Now we all know that Samsung phones can easily simulate HTC. So basically everyone with a Samsung never left Sense. You can still get it, with CNexus' Sense 5 port too!

Everyone makes themes as well so if you're missing Sense just download a theme LMAO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Alright...and the point you are making? That can be applied with any phone...not sure why you are so ecstatic about that, don't even have to go as far as rooting for that...just download a custom launcher from play store and it will change the look of your phone...(multiple touchwiz, sense, and Sony simulating launchers available...)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Lol its called a joke. :D No need to get hyped up into Fanboy mode just yet. Usually some themes people make nowadays look completely bootleg, and as if they made it on MS Paint! :eek: I did find a great Touchwiz theme for Apex by Photox designs on the Play Store when I used my Amaze as my daily phone. Now it's a lab rat for custom Roms. :rolleyes:

On another note, for the people who still have amazes, check out SuperSense 2.0! Now with Aroma installer!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
Hmm idk if i should try cm 10.2 ?!?! :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
It's pretty nice
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Idk if im hella late for this but I installed and paid for Cerberus app. I like what it can do. If you have time you should check it out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
That app looks neat, it's well worth the few euros since we all have Galaxies and HTC Ones. :p

But there are free apps like Android lost and where's my DROID. So Idk. This one had more features and it looks better so I would go with this one. :) Plus I like their icon lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
When you buy the Cerberus app you can use the same login on upto 5 devices. And if its rooted they have a downloadable flashable zip to write the app into /system/apps so it cant be erased after a factory reset...unless they know how. Not sure what the other apps have to offer..
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I better buy that app then.

If the thief has intelligence (usually not, people are normally unaware that android's are extremely powerful once you know how to use them as a power user), they can just remove the app with "no bloat free" so hopefully the thief is oblivious to it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
I got it when it was free :P

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-android-security-app-cerberus-via-appgratis/

It's a great app.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I seen that when I googled it. I didnt mind too much. The app is well worth the $4.xx and its for life so ta hell with it. Got my 3 Android Phones (Note2, GalaxyS2 and Amaze) with the app installed so it just paid for itself.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Quit hoarding the s2 and amaze... Market value is dropping every day. Cut your losses :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Lmao... My daughter uses my old Amaze..she used to use my old Moto Cliq. Wife is waiting for the Note3 :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:

I have an S3, and Amaze. Plus a dusty Optimus One.

And my dad hates technology, which is good in some ways... He won't get tracked at least. :p

[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Hey guys there is a rumor that HTC might merge with Huawei because the HTC One was unable to make them enough money. :rolleyes:

If that happens we won't see "Made in Taiwan" anymore. We'll see "Made in China". :p And we will get a bigger phone maker with a name we can't even pronounce. (It's pronounced "Wah Wei" I think) but the real problem is how the heck are you going to explain what phone you have to someone without them laughing at the name.

Poor HTC. Ya'll should have just given us the dang JB update for the amaze and this never would have happened. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] fneng:
Nah this wont happen. As apple now has share in htc, Apple can use it to strength its market in china. Htc merger with apple ll benefit apple competing low price markets.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
HTC One sold p well, I don't know what kind of sales HTC had in mind
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Screw apple. They're just going to steal even more stuff from android now. :mad:

I think they did good, but not as much as expected.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I think HTC took 3rd place behind galaxy and apple... Not too bad considering how bad it was for them and especially if you consider how few features and bulky design it is
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
The articles j read said that the one wasn't able to do as much as they hoped. But nevertheless they still did good considering the circumstances.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Oh yeah lubuntu

I just installed Lubuntu instead of Ubuntu and it's WAAAAY faster! It's like comparing a race horse to a donkey. LXDE is so lightweight, it makes Ubuntu look slow lol. :D

Building roms on here is pretty easy too, because of the EXT4 filesystem. But I miss winRAR for some reason.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Really??? Hmmm...

Is really wish Google Edition 4.3 has cm theme chooser
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
IKR! Theme Chooser had so many freaking great themes. Cm and Google should team up. :o

They had touchwiz, miui, sense, Xperia, all kinds of themes! :)

Edit: Cydia and winter board were ported to Android. I wonder if that can help?:confused: People said it didn't work well though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Could be a number of reasons different hardware, antennas, radios, less optimized software, a problem with the ROM your using
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Its not a problem that was more of a joke lol

Nah it's not the Rom, it's definitely just the hardware. It's been the same with every rom I used, even if the rom has data tweaks in the build.prop. I'm just making a joking comparison about the amaze and the S3 so it's not really a problem. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:

Oh my god I can't even connect to usb storage with TWRP. What kind of ridiculousness is this? When did TWRP get this bad? I hope i can at least get cwm with usb storage, otherwise these two are just... Bad. Lol. We need to force mad max to make it for the Gs3. This is the only thing I hate about this phone. :mad: No USB storage on recoveries, and no 4ext.

On top of that, I can't even copy the early rom i made to my sd on Linux on my pc. WTF. How embarrassing. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Adb push ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I'm too lazy :p:D. Didn't even have adb yet. But oh well its kind of sad we don't get 4ext love.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I've begged maxx to let me be his remote tester for 4ext as I did for the amaze but he's not coming over... Its too bad too... Dude is a wizard and 4ext is by FAR the best recovery ever
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I will agree to that! :D

Yeah I miss 4ext, since TWRP is so ugly I'm just going to have to use aroma in my roms from now on lol. It will help me forget about 4ext.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
OK time to take a break from S3 deving. Just going to focus on the amaze for now. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:

Was about to press the BUY button for a Nexus 4 Today - then decided to compare it to the HTC One before completing the transaction.

I think my purchase/new phone may be on hold for a bit, the only reason I did not buy the HTC One - no black, I like black phones, seems to be a Really Nice Phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I would get the S4. :p It comes in many colors. Or just get a black case but you will ruin the feel of the aluminum. If you get a case for the S4 however you won't worry about it being plastic again. :cool:

[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Anyone have a white amaze?

Cracks seem to show up on the white ones. My dev device is white and a few people I know have white ones. They all have cracks on the white paint.

When I got my first g1 I had to have the white one. But it cracked and chipped off. They even painted over the plastic and it chipped off too.

HTC needs to come up with a better coating for the phones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Glad I got the black one! I have a white s3 though.

You can buy the back covers for cheap on ebay now, I like the black matte finish.
