[HTC Amaze 4G] Daviddc1144:
a little clarification please

so if i want to end up with ICS rooted, would i root the stock phone first, then upgrade to ICS

or

upgrade to ICS then root

or

while rooting stock phone, flash the ICS rom???
[HTC Amaze 4G] jlvlawrence:
Upgrade to ICS, then flash superuser to gain root.

Anyone else getting an annoying flag, Sync not allowed .
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillM.:
Okay so I have the ICS OTA, and I have run into two bugs that are driving me crazy!

1.) When I attempt to set my homepage to google.com on the default browser it says set, yet it goes to the tmobile webpage. I hate that!

2.) When I do a google search for a business, I used to be able to click get directions and it would open the maps app to give me directions. Now, when I click

"get directions," it goes to the browser directions.

Any ideas on how to fix my issues??
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
After the OTA update to ICS, can you still enable the trace input for the HTC keyboard?

Widgets on Home Screen

Hey guys, I did my update yesterday morning and I was playing around with the Home Screen and I removed the Widgets that are on the bottom of the screen and now I cant figure out how to put them back. I went to "Personalize" settings and just cant seem to figure it out.

Could someone help me??

I also noticed the "apps" one is fixed there and cant be moved...

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol. Open app drawer... Long press an app, and drop it in the dockbar. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] prueba01:
did you guys notice , Now we only have 1 keyboard not 3 as b4, Email sound is gone, notification sound is the email sound now..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Nope
[HTC Amaze 4G] prueba01:
Exactly only notification no email sound anymore

is disable, I even went to my email, settings, notification.. and nothing, it doesnt let me add an email sound

Ummm.. no, not true. Go to settings while in gmail, click your account name, then click ringtone and vibrate and you'll see something like the picture attached

Alternatively you can also go to view all labels, click the manage labels at the bottom, select the label you want to customize, and you will have the same screen as attached- this way you could have a serious/loud ringtone for your important labels, or a quieter/silent for crappy labels..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No... I meant "nope... I didn't notice the sound issue." Sound works fine as post above mine states
[HTC Amaze 4G] prueba01:
I see your point

But my Primary email is hotmail not gmail

And yes that work for only gmail , but ..

A default sound for Email.. ? yahoo, hotmail,gmail..

that I cannot find it anymore, gone with the wind

we used to have it in settings, sound.

same picture glacierguy posted, there, we used to have the email sound

Battery Draining Faster

Hey Guys, I did the update on Monday and it seems that the battery is draining much faster.

Has anyone else noticed??

Any ideas...

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Did u flash update w/ a full battery? I get the same battery life... Maybe a little better than GB. Give it a few days. You had to set up your phone, apps, sync, etc... Let it settle in
[HTC Amaze 4G] MN_Bug:
If I am not understanding, then I apologize, but are you looking to change your default notification for the Sense e-mail application?

If so, go here: Open your menu and go to "Personalization", then at the bottom select "Sound", then select "Notification sound". You will find options for default, messages e-mail etc. I believe that this is what Sense uses.

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] prueba01:
I just found out.

How is the wifi calling with ICS?

Also, anyone regret jumping to ICS?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It's documented all throughout the forum... It sucks. This phone and WiFi calling do NOT get along

However, no regrets by any means. ICS is the shiz! Sense 3.6 looks a lot like 3.5, but the performance is really nice. Can't wait for AOKP or CM9
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
Hmm well I dont get service in my house and completely rely on the wifi calling. Not a huge amount of problems with it now on Ginger Bread.. Maybe I shouldnt bother=[
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
If u need WiFi calling, I would hold out... It's bad man
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
Well.. THAT SUCKS!

One thing I realized, even with my wifi calling on GB. You need to have the full wifi bars to be perfect. Even if you have 4 out of 5 lets say, people on the other end dont hear you well.

I came from a Blackberry with UMA calling.. Lemme tell you, 100 times better
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I didn't wanna say it, cuz it seemed to work for you, but I had bad experiences with GB too so I was figuring it was my 4 yr old router
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
Hmm so maybe, just maybe, If it was good for me on GB, maybe it will be good on ICS lol

Only thing people complain about 2 things, either they hear an echo of themselves, or they tell me I sound LOW, when im screaming into the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
My issue, was a delay in talking. I would talk, but the other end couldn'hear me for a few seconds... As the conversation went on, the delay got longer
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
well its 2012, they should be texting us anyway.. Talking on the phone? How 2000
[HTC Amaze 4G] prueba01:
what antivirus and phone locator you guys recommend me or should I stay with lookout?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Seriously? I've never used antivirus
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
If you don't download paid apps from untrusted sources(aka illegally) and you don't download stupid apps(aka apps with bad grammar for the description that do pointless things) you don't really have a chance of anything malicious. Just be careful of what apps you grant root access to, or what you grant admin privileges to, and it is a non issue.

Yes, there are blogs that say $#(+ about there being so many viruses out there, but find me someone who actually got one(and isn't an idiot)!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Exactly... Lookout is bloatware imho.

I've never seen anyone with a virus... Just malware and push ads that pop up in status bar.

I do use lookouts ad detector if I DL an app that gives me push ads... But that's it
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I just upgraded, and just had a short test call with WiFi calling and it seemed to work ok. I never had any issue with WiFi calling (on GB) at home (where I have two T-Mobile Hotspot@Home routers) nor any significant issues with WiFi calling on public WiFi (Hotels and such).

Two issues I've noticed:

1. Even though I have trace input enabled and it works great, it doesn't work on the lock screen, which is really the only place I ever used it. Worked great for password entry.

2. The sense sound effects seem to be very quiet, even though I have all the volume sliders all the way up. The keyboard click is very quiet compared to before, and the weather animation sound, lock screen click, etc. are quiet as well.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with it. I LOVE the new font, makes all the difference in the world. I also like the screen rotation animations, and all the other animations, eg. new gallery picture animations.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yespinosa:
Ok this is a legitimate question in regards to the 2 leaks we have, as far as personal experience is the second leak 1.3 that much better than the first 1.1? I am asking for 2 reasons; first, I am running on the first leak and my phone works flawlessly I have it rooted, de-bloated and flashed the battery and camera mods, battery is behaving decently and other than the phone loosing all data connection (wifi and mobile) and forcing me to re-boot it every couple of days there is really nothing wrong with it. That is reason I am on the fence about changing over to the new leak since I have heard some horror stories. As far as preference would you guys advice me to take the dive or stay safely on the first leak.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Get 2nd leak... Much improved
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I'm still not sure what is different, when it first came out I remember remix saying that the md5 checked out for each .img, but something changed.. all I did was flash the radio, do you know what else has changed? Or was it just the radio? I didn't ask sooner because I didn't want to sound like a newb, I'm obviously the :cool: guy.

And yespinosa, what horror stories? Links? The only horror stories I've heard is from people who didn't understand how to flash it, otherwise ICS(both leaks) seems very stable, few bugs..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I didn't notice any additions... But from what I understand, the manner in which the radio performs was modified.

I noticed better signal while indoors and slightly improved battery... But I'm kinda done with any battery debates ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] yespinosa:
Mostly from people coming over from the first leak and getting stuck in a boot-loop but, but you are right after going over them it is mostly people that got confused along the way and screwed something up. Ahh what the hell, I'll step up to it, thank you gentlemen for your input.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lester1:
Question for those who've installed ICS from one who is about to...

With GB, the the Ringer and Notification volume controls are independent. I noticed that ICS by default combined these. Is there a setting somewhere that makes them independent? With GB (during sleeping hours) I set Ringer volume to 2/7 (with Volume + App) and Notification to 0/7. The functionality I want is to hear a "soft" ringtone but do not want to hear notifications for emails and texts.

This is a deal breaker for me to install ICS.

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Get a silent .mp3(<-- click there), at night you switch to that.. or if you use a 3rd party texting app you have much more control over the tones, I'm sure one of them lets you adjust the volume. I always thought it was kind of silly to have two different volumes(in dumb phones there was one volume, and that was fine) - in some ways it is great for android to be so customizable, but in most.. there should be a significant number of people using the options, or why have them?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Audioguru and audio manager apps are free and allow u to set every volume for every notification. Also let's u set up timed profiles. Both available in play store :D

Dejavu? I swear I already posted this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zarish:
Ok, so I got the T-Mobile ICS upgrade

over the air

a day or so ago. Been messing around with it on a stock T-Mobile HTC Amaze 4G.

Very disappointed to see the charging bug is still there where if connected to the charger, once it reaches 100% it stops charging and will never start again unless the charger is disconnected, or the phone shuts down due the battery dying. There should never be a point where I can leave my phone connected to the charger and come back to find my battery at less than a percent or 2 short of 100. Coming back to find the battery lower than when I connected it, or finding it full but that the phone has been off because it completely drained out the battery is garbage.

T-Mobile and HTC can both lick my hairy friends on that one. How could they not fix that issue? Yes, I know many of the custom roms on here have that issue fixed. Just very sad that both HTC and T-Mobile failed to deliver a stock rom with the issue fixed.

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I had a thread about issues on ICS, in 27 pages I never once heard someone name this(in a month of complaints), and also I am absolutely sure I don't have this issue. Perhaps there is something wrong with your hardware if you had this issues before, because i never had this on GB either.. or maybe you should re-flash, or flash a rom.. but like I said, the only charging problems I have EVER heard about was while the phone was OFF if you had flashed one of the older recoveries.. and once the recovery was updated I never heard anything like this again?!

With 27 pages of complaints of every kind I would say it is odd that you're the only one having the issue unless it is your phone itself..

Hi, I am a total noob in this, just wondering does this one only work with T-mobile?

cause I am using wind. Thanks!

It works with all carriers, but if you are not TMO, then you will need TO DO THIS to make it work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] matthew201230:
Hi thanks there,

but I am a little bit confuse there.

Since it says after S-off we do the superCID, but what if I am going to follow this thread to flash it in S-on?

I am just confuse with the order, since if I am S-off, I will not follow this thread to install ICS, but if I am s-on, do I need do superCID before flashing ICS?

Sorry if those are dumb questions but I will appreciate your help!

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm pretty sure u have to s=off if you want ics and your carrier hasn't released it officially yet :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cadesdefy:
I cant seem to find any posts about this but it has driven me nuts since I upgraded to Android from my non-smart phone. I don't want to give my number out to every app I install. Yes I understand I can not install apps that require this permission, but is there a way to "Spoof" this permission. in other words if an app requests my phone identity, it would return a fake number instead of my real number?

Yes Im rooted. I am running Cyanogen Jordon

Will the application fail when it invokes this permission? Is there a way to block it before hand?

Reason being is I would assume on install the app requests this information and sends it off using the internet connection.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asianmortician:
I'm at my wits end. I was having problems with Google Play. So I attempted to unroot and start over hoping that would solve my problem. Turns out, I screwed something up because I'm stuck in the CWD Recovery v5.5.0.4 and I can't get out of it. I can't even turn off my NT. Power and N does not do anything. I have tried to everything I could find. From the acclaim_update.zip to rerooting to Nook_Recovery_Fix.zip and nothing has worked. I formatted everything that I could through the mounts and storage (I know I shouldn't have formatted the ROM, but I was a little upset at the time). The only thing I haven't tried is throwing it against a wall, but that's next. Does anyone have a solution or an attempt at one? Any help is appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Floating Point:
If you hold PWR for 10s the tablet will certainly turn off.

Boot CWM from microSD and restore the image from this thread.

After that you can make a factory reset or whatever you want.

Once you get things working good again, root, apps installed and everything, make a backup, it will make your life much easier when something goes wrong.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asianmortician:
Well Albert's method did not work, but I attempted AdamOutler's Ubuntu and it worked. Very excited. Now I can start all over. But a thanks for the 10s hold. I had tried it before and it didn't work, so I thought I would try again and about 20s later it powered off. Appreciate the help.:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] djd338:
Yeah I agree on the 10 seconds being not long enough. I have both a NT and NC which always take longer than that. I ALWAYS must hold the button combination for 20-30 sec it seems. Don't count, just hold em down! Glad your back up and running

Hello, by no means am I a noob so no flaming please, I couldn't find a solution as I did search thoroughly and didn't see a q&a section on here like the nexus forum. But to the point, my brother got a razr two two days ago and drunkenly set a numbered password and can't remember it. Most phones I have had you can go into recovery mode by hitting power and volume buttons so I did that cause I was going to factory reset it but it doesn't go into recovery mode. His phone is completely stock . How do I fix this situation for his dumb ass? Thanks for any help.

Maybe reset phone or something to get you out of that. Just an idea.

Here is another thing I read that might possible work. Go on your computer to my accounts for your device. Download this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.curity.android.screenlockbypass

Get access to your phone and do a factory reset which will get rid of that password.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Hold vol down and vol up, it'll put you in the debug menu. Then use vol down to highlight recovery, and press vol up to enter it.

After recovery loads, you'll notice that there's no text. Press both volume buttons to bring it up, then use vol up/vol down/power to select factory reset.

bam.

rommanager

Install rommanager.apk premium and, to me is to solve the problem
[General Questions and Answers] Eric_Eric_Eric:
So, I think I figured it out. Apparently, I only get this error when my backup contains more than a certain number of apps (or possibly the /data is over a certain size). Granted, I do have over 350 apps, but why is CWM Recovery messing up while trying to restore a big backup? It really should not affect it, but it seems to. So, I will be backing up with Titanium for my apps, and making nandroid backups only when I have under about 350 apps installed. If anybody else has any insight, please share it with me. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Eric_Eric_Eric:
The Answer (I am pretty sure...)

Okay, I think I finally figured it out. The reason it was not restoring properly was because I had about 350 user apps installed. My guess is that, while restoring, the recovery (CWM recovery in my case) puts the /data onto the RAM, and the RAM is not large enough to hold that much at once. I deleted a lot of apps, backed up in CWM recovery, and restored back to the backup, and everything worked flawlessly. I am surprised that no one has ever had this problem. So, in the future, I am making Titanium backups of all my apps, batch uninstalling a bunch of them from within Titanium (so that I have under 300 at the most), and then making a backup. Then, I can flash a new ROM, recover, or whatever and finally use Titanium to put all my apps and data back. I just thought I would post this in case anyone else ever finds this problem. It was really frustrating for me, but the insufficient RAM theory seems to explain it. Post your thoughts on the matter.
