Package Contents: Battery Charger, Travel Charger, Standard Battery

I just bought this. It is on sale for $31.80 with free shipping. It's also sold by amazon!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yeah I saw it it was 33 a couple days ago. I ended up wanting something NOW. Walked into a sprint store they no longer carry it. Bought the Sprint version/battery. Works great but more expensive and its not as small or as useful or include a charger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BrandoKC:
I have this one. Works great and love the stand.

For the first time I broke 4 hours screen time on stock blazer 4.1. I ended up with 4.5 hours. Turns out my old battery was simply crap and a new one did the trick!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dansidebottom:
Price is now 28.94 but not sold by Amazon... Anyone heard of ccmaccessories? Changing jobs and really need a stand alone battery charger, open to other recommendations but might end up trying this one... should be ok since its on amazon right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metalmoon:
click on other new and used sellers. Amazon is listed there. it's going for 29 bucks from Amazon now.

Go with the anker batteries. They don't sell them for our phone specifically but the vibrant/fascinate batteries work great. I paid $26 after shipping and tax for two batteries and a charger. Plus if you go to the evo 4g forums and some others anker has rave reviews from people here

After ics upgrade I found battery backup to be worse.. So to analyze things I purchased betterbatterystats. But it feels a bit too technical to me so I am posting the screenshots here, and will post more if required as what is the cause. Batterbatterystats widgets reports deep sleep duration as 0. Please help!

Back up and format your internal and external SD cards, it looks like the media server keeping you from deep sleep. After you reformat copy back your files and you are good to go.

Try removing your battery for few minutes and then again restart

Hope this helps as it helped me

Search for AudioOut_1 on this forum, more people have problems with it. Solution is to disable touch sounds and vibrations (Settings - Sound). I find them annoying anyway, like the camera shutter sound. Why the hell do we need to emulate mechanical sounds on a device that has no moving parts?

I'm on rocket rom 4.1 plus speedmod 3-3 ics.

But still not goin to deepsleep.

Anymore suggestion?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaraya13:
Airplane mode on, then turn off device, take battery out for some minutes, battery back on, turn on, disable Airplane mode.

If this doesn't work, try to see if disabling Data Connection makes your device go to deep sleep.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emfung:
this i have done more than 10 times, doesnt work at all.

Probably my deepsleep problem has something to do with data connection, it seems more frequent when i have it on and wifi turned off. But it does happen too when the opposite is true (wifi on, data off).

So what shld i do?

a few days ago i tried the Market unlocker, however since i set market unlocker to verizon google play will not recognize it different, i tried the obvious button on the app itself "reset to normal" this didn't work.

next i tried removing the app this didn't work. after that i tried setting the app to t-mobile netherlands, this didn't work. at last i tried resetting my phone through recovery, this did work, however it still won't install any dutch apps.

as attachment i have a screenshot of google play with my galaxy nexus, it should work. i even developed this app on my sgn.

This post is still working, but has not and will not be updated as I and the other contributors no longer have this device. I welcome questions as always, but without the device in my hand, I may not have your answer.

There are people still actively trying to update the software for this device as of 1/15, and if anyone wishes to take over/update this thread PM me.

It was a great ride with the amaze, and I still feel like the camera puts much newer devices to shame to date.

We will likely have kernel source drop soon and we will have even more to keep track of, so

we will need some serious help from the community to make sure we are all organized as possible

Any new contributors added please post in the thread, your first post will be your change log, which I can use to keep change log updated.

Please let's try to stay consistent in formatting - no need to paste the actual XDA or external link, right click highlighted text and add link that way.

Please don't edit the table of contents box in the very beginning of the doc, it will break the links in the OP of this thread.

Let's make sure we only use red text for warnings and the important information that NEEDS to be read.

Clicking insert at the top gives us the ability to add in pictures, links, drawing, etc.. I am not opposed as long as it doesn't take up too much space and isn't confusing.

You CAN create separate docs if you think that posting here would be too difficult - just make sure when you are done with your new doc you click "sharing" in the top right, make it accessible to anyone with a link, but NOT with editing rights! Let's not use other docs unless it is going to be a VERY robust document with images and embedded youtube videos, etc.

You will see at the very end of the doc is an "expanded" version. I put a bookmark in front of each line(insert>bookmark), and then I highlight the text, insert>link and then click the bookmarks tab - choose the text that matches what you are bookmarking.. boom, done.

Oh, I was up till after 4am working on it, and sadly back awake at 6am.. sigh.

I just hope that people will start sending people to this thread when people need help getting started - it still needs some work, but soon this will answer almost every question someone could have when they get an amaze..

And yes, a sticky would be nice - especially since we will have plenty to keep this updated.

Update: Dark Nightmare has been added as a contributor. If you both can post changes you make to your first posts in the thread:

Something like that, I'll update the second post based on those so people can see what has been added without going into the doc itself.

I think we finally have a chance at organizing all this knowledge we have floating around these forums!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
This awesome, when the noobies come around we can just all simply send them this link which will provide everything they need an more :) good job!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
And I'm hoping if the noobies(lol, love the term btw) think there is something we can clarify(that actually would help), we can make the bible even better..

Any other sections you or anyone else can think of? I'm wondering about ways to link to other useful threads - even threads that are closed like the "issues with ICS thread" I had may be useful.. maybe a troubleshooting section perhaps? A misc resources section?

I think forum members will like that they can help with suggestions and hopefully see a useful and well organized final product..
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I think troubleshooting section would need the most work, most questions usually come from people who aren't really active users and find themselves stuck so then theyll post here.

Example "my phone is stuck on xxx after I xxx" etc
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Was thinking the same thing...
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
True, but if we find the answer to their issue, and it is common ENOUGH to be included, we can link directly to the post that fixes it, whether in this thread, or somewhere else.. no, we can't fix EVERY problem, but there are some standard ones that may be useful.. for example, what remix had to do to flash the RUU when his phone wouldn't accept a recovery - we could provide a few different links for anything useful like that for people having issues with the leak..

At the very least that was why I made it a Troubleshooting/Miscellaneous section, perhaps my closed thread on ICS issues may help someone out, even tho it is closed we can link to it.. or any other thread that has been archived but may be useful?

I'm kinda just thinking out loud here, trying to see what bases we can cover..

[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Yeah your right but knowing how noobies can get "I don't have time to be reading through dozens of pages to find my answer, can someone just tell me how to X" we've all seen this plenty of times. But I agree with you. Maybe getting some other threads cleaned up so things are straight to the point ? Idk man
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Sure, there are a few that are like that, but I've dealt with many I like that are pretty sharp, things really are just hard to find at this point - or at least till this point hopefully.

If we give a lazy noob this thread we've already put a ton of time into and he wants more, then I can tell him to get *(#$ with a good conscience. :D But this should be great for people who aren't noobs, but might be overwhelmed - I remember I was in the beginning, trying to figure out s-off and this and that.. and I was never a noob!(lies.)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
What is S-Off?

Well allow me to explain:

In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.

Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.

In simpler terms: s stands for security on and off being it's current status, on restricting your ability to write to certain partitions of the system, example: hboot. Also it usually restricts access to flash kernels while s-on but recoveries such as 4EXT recovery have the ability to bypass this while s-on, hence giving you the ability to flash full custom roms without the need of s-off.

S-Off on the other hand gives you practically full access to system partitions, enabling you to flash radios, hboots, just about everything. It also gives you the option to sim unlock your amaze for free (see general forum), gives you options as well to unbrick your device should you have a slip up while trying to flash a rom/mods to your device(search for the unbricking project in the dev forum).

How to obtain s-off? See JuopunutBear's s-off method in the dev section, super-cid is also recommended if you're a rom flasher who likes to test roms that may not be for your specific device, difference being T-Mobile, Telus and Wind versions of the Amaze 4G.

When linking... There shouldn't be a reason why the links have to be listed (i.e. when giving rom links). If you see the first couple of GB roms, u will see I made hyperlinks, but whoever finished it did it differently. We should try to keep this organized and in similar formats from user to user, to make it clean and easier to read. Imho. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I know, I finished fixing the format of the ics roms that were listed.. some of it was a rush job, but at least most of the info is there until we perfect the format.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
We will likely need direction from this point on - someone asked about mobilicity carrier(VIA COMMENT in DOC) and someone else supplied the link, I updated thread-- this is a good way to keep it going.

Productive comments are welcome, as it says in the first post- highlight what you want, click insert then comment to leave us something helpful.. otherwise I hope it is helping people out(I don't see glacierguy, nightmare's, or my thanks button getting super mashed..?)

Anyways, it will never be complete, but we will need some direction to move forward and add more!

Tip for better battery

Current Widget

This is a free app available on the play store, there may be other apps that do the same thing.

See what is causing the most drain while you are actually USING the phone(as opposed to when screen is off- hint, use betterbatterystats for that)..

Steps to see which apps are killing your battery

- do this when you get higher than average drain(delete previous log file called currentwidget.log in root of SD)

Put the widget on one of your homescreens, it will go to options screen..

An update interval of 60 seconds should be acceptable

Check(enable) the log file

Go into log options>check(enable) log applications

Use your phone as normal for a few days.. or when you've noticed worse drain.

Go back into the program and click log actions>analyze log,>top processes-- this shows you which app processes are using how much current - for example com.android.chrome(the google chrome app) was using 513MaH(milliampere-hour) - if you have the stock 1730mah battery that means that app alone could kill your battery in a little over 3 hours..

Once you have a list of which apps are causing the most drain turn off logging- that app itself will cause SOME drain, but it is worth using just to find out what is killing your phone!

This has been added to the BATTERY TRICKS section of the original google doc!

Pat
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxa5209:
Did you follow the extended steps of installation in the FAQ. Here are the steps:

-Reboot into recovery

-Wipe Data / Factory Reset

-Install the Main ROM

-In recovery go to Advanced

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Fix Permissions

-Wipe Cache Partition

-Reboot

-If at the first boot you can't do the configuration of the google account, skip this step and continue

-When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot

-When you boot again into the system the data will be enable and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this before)

-This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, fix's, kernels, etc.

Enjoy!!!
