K guys I need some help... does anyone know of a way to use a verizon iphone 4s on another carrier, can it be unlocked or flashed or anything? I dont know icrap products! Lol but i kno its difficult since its cdma network plus the esn. Its not stolen or nothin but if anyone could offer some info id appreciate it..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
If you have Straight Talk or Simple Mobile in your area (both are owned by Tracfone) they can be an alternative. They don't have any towers of their own and use other carrier's bandwidth. My best friend uses them for a Verizon iPhone he purchased off Craig's list. Specifically, he uses Straight Talk. I believe another alternative may be Virgin Mobile. They have tools on their site where you input your esn, if it's clean and off-contract it will tell you you're eligible. Their rates are much more affordable than Verizon's. I think unlimited on Straight Talk is $50 a month and even less if you prepay with direct deposit.

As far as flashing is concerned, I think you're SOL. I'm not aware of alternative ROMs for Apple products. About all you can do to an iPhone is jailbreak it. This lets you use apps from non Apple sources and lets you tether without Apple or carrier permissions and upcharges.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
If you guys around the country only heard the whole story you be laughing so hard your drink would spew up from your nose. Earlier in the evening he was out with his entourage at a famous strip club (which the little looser is too young to legally attend). He walks in with 80 grand cash, has the bar break it down to singles, then proceeded to "make it rain" on the "dancers" there while getting loaded with his crew.

The little looser is spinning downward fast. Can you say one hit wonder or Lindsey Lohan on roids? He's burning through cash like there's no tomorrow. His next stint will be as bubba's girlfriend at the bighouse, if things progress at the current rate.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
The joke is that the picture above was NOT young jeezy who was also arrested
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Maybe so, but from my perspective the entire incident is a sad sick joke. When I was 19 the drinking age was raised to 21, but was grandfathered in since I was already legal for a year. I made extra cash and had a blast playing in bands and working security at shows.

I got arrested riding my motorcycle too fast and without a baffle leaving a club my band had just played in. I spent a week in jail awaiting a hearing, because no bondsman would handle a bond so low ($250), but it was more than my hard working single Mom could afford to pay.

This clown endangers everyone in town, racing down quiet residential streets, buzzed, in a rented sports car he had no business driving with a suspended license, after squandering 80 grand in a strip club he had no legal right to be in, but gets out in a few hours.

I learned my lesson and have never seen the inside of a jail again. Do you honestly think he learned anything from his incident?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Whenever he gets caught in illegal acts and breaks US Law, it becomes harder for him to get a renew on his visa.

Eventually he'll no longer be able to stay in the US and will have to move back to Canada. This will cause his fame to slowly die.

Unfortunately, some of his fans keep defending him on social networks so it might not happen quickly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
the REAL joke is that anyone who gives a fk about this loser is, well a joke. this douche nozzle gets more attention in the press than the riots in the ukraine, nsa spying, benghazi, irs, fast and furious etc. americans have misplaced priorities while their gov't fks them over everyday and they could care less...smh:eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Well it's "couldn't care less" but yeah I pretty much agree with ^^^

A SHOUT OUT TO ALL SENSE/MIUI DEVS CAN I PLEASE REQUEST A MIUI SENSE BASED ROM PLEASE I'M BEGGING FOR THE COMUNITY. I just think it would be great to have a fully functional miui Rom and as it looks here sense is best for HTC amaze. So that's why I request it best of both worlds.

Ps. Please don't get mad I had to ask I've tried porting but no success. Now I have ported for HTC doubleshot miui v4 but just can't get sense base for our phone

The only cool thing is the Hoover touch. That's pretty slick. And the unlock animation. Other than that. Utter junk.

I found the galaxy locker app on the play store. Pretty cool!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Lol you fanboy! :)

Unfortunately yes Samsung thinks they can play KGB/NSA on out phones. I'm sure you've heard of selinux and KNOX. Leaving them after this phone, even though I love my S3 it helped me survive the first semester of sophomore year, if you know what I mean.. ;) Gotta love those oblivious teachers.

There's a new LG that looks pretty cool! I think it's called the curve. 6" display and flexible!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
LG G Flex is the phone you're talking about.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
What about the LG G Pro or G2 Pro (forgot what its called) but that things a beast! LG will be my next device. No more Samsung OR HTC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I don't know about you guys, but I'm extremely budget minded when it comes to any and all electronic devices. For me it's all about bang for the buck. Over at Tom's Hardware guide they just did a very thorough review, including a plethora of performance tests and comparisons of the Nexus 5 vs iPhone 5s vs Tegra Note 7 vs LG G2 vs HTC One (Google version) vs Nexus 4 and the results are impressive. Long story short, Tom awarded the Nexus 5 the coveted "Elite 2014" award, which is the best rating that well regarded site gives to any device.

Here's the link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/google-nexus-5-smartphone,3720.html

Read and enjoy, You'll thank me later.

[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Curious what my buddy [MENTION=4880617]DigitalUnderground[/MENTION] thinks of this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=3318114]mrmako777[/MENTION] I'm curious, every time I see your avatar I forget to ask what do you ride? I've been riding for 35 years. Back in my youth my nickname was YamaDogRob, which is also the handle I use on a couple of XJ-FJ website forums. My first bike was a 1976 RD400 Daytona 2-stroke that used to smoke every 750 that was out then. For many Years I rode an FJ1000, then later an FJ1100, and finally an FJ1200 before some idiot cut me off and I low-sided it about 14 years ago. I kind of went over to the dark side about 13 years ago, however, and have been riding an old antique 1985 Honda VF-1100 (V-65) Sabre since then. For a while after my divorce it was even my primary transportation. I love some of the new bikes, but when you get to my age (51) the riding positions of most current bikes just isn't comfortable enough for me and I won't be caught dead on a cruiser or Harley.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
nice to see a fellow rider here! right now i have an 07 gsxr 600 (street bike) and an 03 gsxr 600 (track bike). been riding for about 7 years now (im 35). my 07 is my first bike and taught me everything i know about riding. fortunately for me early on i had some really great guys show me how to ride which is probably while im still alive lol. my 03 was originally bought as a project track bike, but when i got laid off, i couldnt afford to track it anymore. i still zip it up and down the street every once in a while lol. i used to do a lot of aggressive street riding in the twisties, but after i saw a guy get killed right in front of me, i calmed down and started to value my life a little more. every now and then i get a hair up my ass and go for very "spirited" strolls thru the twisties down in kentucky, but not as often as i used to. ill try and upload some pics of my girls when i get a chance! and btw, im sure that cafe you had was awesome! got a buddy who rebuilt one, a 76 honda cb550 iirc, and its sweet as hell
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Yep, that's it! Went into the T-Mobile store tonight and told them my SIM card must be bad. So they gave me a new one. He he he. I'm getting unbelievable reception now!

While I was in there I checked out the LG flex. What an utter disappointment!

So I was going to buy the HTC one. They didn't have any! So I still have two amazes. When I get a new phone, I'm sending Ravike my dev device and keeping my daily for a dev phone.

Should have a brand new HTC one in about two weeks.

:) so I won't say goodbye for a long time!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
What did you not like
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I've mentioned on a few threads how T-Mobile tech support recommended I update my SIM card a month or so ago even though it was less than 6 months old at the time. The new ones are programmed to take maximum advantage of our devices on the newly acquired bandwidth from Metro. The older ones were throttling us except during off-peak usage periods. Don't get me wrong there are still times when it feels sluggish during working hours in heavily congested areas, but these occurrences are now few and far between. For me installing the new SIM was like getting a new upgraded handset. It was that much of a difference. Anyhow enjoy and keep up your outstanding work here!!!

Ciao
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Thanks! Actually I read your post on the new SIM cards. That was the first reason for going in.

The LG flex is what looks like Samsung's touchwiz. Ugh. Gag me! Lol. It's just not sense. I've grown to have a find liking for sense. I can navigate thru it no problem, it just looks weird.

Almost like playing with an iPhone, without the burning sensation in my hands. (I had some home made Apple pie moonshine tonight) feeling it now....

The flex is not as flexible as they would lead you to believe. Rather rigid.

I'd be on a brand new HTC one if they had it in the store. They were kind enough to remind me I've had my amaze for thirty months! I've come a long way in thirty months...

So sense 5 is on its way and when released well be a community project that the remaining devs and new devs well be able to work on collectively to get everything working. At least I hope so.

Looking forward to an amazing future, and a really bad hangover tomorrow.

S4 screen bricked help needed

hello guys,

since this is a OT thread and I know all the guys here so decided to post here.

I have one S4 of my friend but unfortunetely the screen bricked due to falling on tiles.

well... he want to get the data which is in phone memory.

He searched in the market for a new screen but it is not available .

So now How can we help that guy to get those DATA.

can we use ADB?

Reply soon.

Thanks

What i was thinking of buying it mannnnnnn so whats the best phone you could buy second hand for about 400 -450 $
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
The Superbowl in one picture.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Will it still boot up? If you can at least get it to the bootloader you should be able to use adb. Some recoveries will let you do it too.

Really weird though that you can't find a replacement digitizer, you should be able to order one on-line then have someone install it. They're a major pain in the ass to install yourself. If done improperly you can ruin your handset. I know from firsthand experience. I permanently bricked my HD2 when I replaced my digitizer myself for the second time.

The first time I did it I was successful. The second time I replaced it and the volume rocker, it never booted back up. Took it apart again several times, to this day I can't figure out what I messed up to kill it. So from now on I'm only letting professionals replace digitizers on my devices.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I love my nexus 5 so much I just bricked it trying to restore it to stock... smfh. I should have checked md5 before trying... I knew better. New one gets here Tuesday. We will see if I get billed since it is being returned as tampered.

It's a great phone. It has the best CPU I've seen on a phone. I love the design. It truly has zero lag. It has a few hardware quirks (rattly power button on some, some others report light bleed) and the sound and mic quality are not the best by any means. The camera is ok... serviceable. Idk... I will stick with it until the nexus 6 drops... but s5 does look fun

[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
By the time I get another HTC they better have fixed their act. I'm hoping specs will change, ultra pixels will stay but improve, maybe 4K screens, what else? :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
4k screens on a phone or tablet is such a ridiculous waste. The human eye can't discern 1080p on such small screens. 4k will just be a resource hog. The amount of CPU, GPU, and RAM required to drive that many pixels is exorbitant with little improvement that could actually be noticed. We haven't begun to discuss the many orders of magnitude in increased bandwidth usage or increased storage requirements for such devices. 4k on a phone just doesn't make any practical sense.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Ppl have been wishing for HTC to get straightened up since the amaze. And sense doesn't even look like sense anymore. The best thing they have done in a while is allow you to turn off that ****ty blink feed
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I personally am sense agnostic. The only feature I rely on is the keyboard with the arrows along the bottom. The rest I have no use for. One of my happiest moments as an HD2 owner, was when I finally got up the balls to flash Tytung's CM on it, ridding me of the horrid version of Windows w/ sense-3.0 that was native to the handset. I would happily run any AOSP based ROM instead of sense if all of the functions worked properly with them. But they don't and it looks like they never will, so here I am, a reluctant sense user. I think my next device will either be a Nexus or Google play version regardless of manufacturer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Only 1 more nexus phone left before the brand dies off... Then it will be strictly Google play editions.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Is this etched in stone? Now that Google has sold off Motorola and no longer hemorrhaging money, what's stopping them from making a deal with a manufacturer to build another Nexus handset? After all in Google's way of thinking it's all about expanding the user base to sell ever increasing ad-space and user data. They don't even care if they make anything on the device itself. It's all about piling up numbers to increase ad revenue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
There will be nexus handsets... But they will be called GPE. So, for instance, let's say the nexus 5 never came out. Nexus enthusiasts would have to buy a GS4 or HTC One GPE to get their nexus experience.

This is also probably why even my nexus 5 isn't as aosp as the gnex. It has more Google implementation than aosp. Google Chrome, Google Calendar, Google Dialer, and Google launcher over aosp versions for example.

When I had an s4, I used gpe ROMs and they were all the same way, even worse, used some touchwiz framework as well... That's DEFINITELY not nexusish

Does anyone remember whatbto type in the browser to get the advanced or developers settings to turn on?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I think you're asking about the extra options when you type about:debug into the address bar, but this only works on the stock android browsers before KitKat. The latest ones are based on Chrome not WebKit, so that command doesn't work anymore.

I hope this helps

Ciao
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Yes that's the thing I was asking about. How do you remember this stuff? Hahah

Edit: Ya.. didnt work. Why are they basing the new browsers on chrome... I dont use chrome...Now I have to find a different browser...

Busy day at the office. Schools closed. 8" of snow. Blowing snow causing 3' snow drifts. Most snow in MN since 1982 and the coldest winter of my life including 4 polar vortexes which I've never heard of until this year. I've never been so excited for summer to get here. Where's Al Gore and his global warming
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Not a very enlightened response. There's a significant difference between "weather" which is observed at a local level in short time intervals, and climate which is observed on a global scale over much larger periods of time. While you in MN and those in the North East have been experiencing large amounts of precipitation and extreme cold, large areas of the West, South West and here in Florida have had the driest warmest winter on record. This is exactly the type of anomalies predicted by global climate change (which is the accepted scientific term for the phenomena, as apposed to global warming which isn't).

My youngest brother holds a Doctorate in Environmental Engineering and first began telling me of this back in the mid '80s. He hates what Gore did by calling the issue "global warming" in his movie for precisely the observation you made. For many, the climate change will appear as one thing, for others in different places it will manifest itself in other extremes.

For example, here in South Florida we've had several years of way below average rainfall and extremely warm winters. Right now we're in the high 80s, about 10-15 degrees warmer than average for late Feb. Lake Okeechobee which feeds our aquifers and the Everglades has seen inadequate rainfall for nearly a decade. In some places it's not uncommon for it to be less than 5 feet deep that used to be 25 feet when I was a kid. So far this year we've had only a few days where the temp has dropped below 60. The same for last year. By comparison when I was a kid we routinely had winters were temps dropped well below 50 for weeks at a time. We even had snow here once in the mid '70s when I was in Jr High.

Sea-level rise is already adversely affecting us. Twice a month tidal surges caused by the moon are causing street flooding in areas of South Beach we never had a decade ago. Additionally, the canal network constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers in the 1930's-50s is no longer adequate to prevent flooding in large storms. Rainfall that used to be a minor inconvenience when I was a kid, now cause flooding to the point that folks get trapped in their homes unable to get to work.

California and the Pacific North West are experiencing the worst drought since records began being kept in the 1840s. The Colorado River is at it's lowest level ever, as is the Columbia. Farmers throughout the region which is a bread basket to the world, let alone our country, face water rationing that could send food prices sky-rocketing in the coming months.

You may have thought it was funny to post the photo and make your comment with it, however, the consequences of man-made climate change is real and affecting us, now. This is the consensus of the vast majority of those in the scientific community whose job it is to study the data. To deny or make light of it only delays the course of action we as a nation, and those in the rest of the world, need to take to try and mitigate the damage we've already done to environment.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Yeah. My comment on xda in a useless thread set us back greatly. Thanks for your book dude. But none of what you said had made my winter any better. I'm gonna go shovel in the -10 wind chill right now in the end of February.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Salute to the people who read the whole second last post
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
I get it, its prudent to do what we can to keep the environment in a healthy state and minimize the damage we can potentially cause. The problem I have is the proposal that climate extremes are some sort of new phenomenon on earth.

Looking at the geological and fossil record, we see massive climate shifts lasting from a few hundred years to millions. Remember when the sahara desert was under water? Me either, but discoveries of large marine fossils says that at one point it was.

Solar activity is also a contributor to our climate as well. The fact that the polar caps on mars have receded should clue us in that we as humans have far less effect on our climate than the nature of our planet and our place in the universe.

I'm not looking for a back and forth on this subject, just saying that there are many more factors that cause climate extremes than post industrial society

I have still that greenify app problem..

I know It's looking like a dumb question but yes.. I have tried all the things that I should do..

Even I have changed the ROM also but the problem of Hibernation is lookin there.

Point to be notice : For almost all apps the Greenify working great but for few apps like FB , What'sApp , xda ,etc it is being failed to hibernate.

I will happy if anyone can tell me the solution..

And yes it may be problem with the latest update.. I don't know..

I wish you knew what punctuation was. Your posts are hard to read.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I'm not going to complain too much. For some one who speaks English as a second or third language he does alright. At least he's understandable and able to get his points across. How many Americans do you know that speak English natively that can't spell or punctuate? I personally know quite a few. It makes me wonder how they ever graduated high school or got their GED? Then I remember that they're products of the South Florida public school system and it all makes sense.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I don't know that many people who can't punctuate. The ones that I do know are older and didn't have a great education. Adding a couple of periods, using commas, and question marks can make all the difference. That's just my opinion.
