Hello, my name is Clint, I'm a veterinary technician, by trade and a tech geek by hobby, lol. I started it with a G2 and moved to the amaze, but I have learned alot over the post year that I joined XDA. I am also a musician, love playing guitar and metal! I'll be 41 this month, Gemini all the way! ! ! I love this forum most people seem to be helpful and friendly and I love sharing what I have learned, even though it's not much, but I like to give back however I can.

I can't wait for the source for this device to get released, so we can really see what this beast can do! I do not regret getting my amaze and like others have said before me, I like our little community! Nice to meet all of you.

My hobbies are going to the gun range and shooting as many bullets to a paper target, computers and of course phones. as you can see on my signature I have had a lot. I'm married with 4 kids. I've rooted my phones before, started with the G1 and stopped with the MT4G but now I just keep them stock. but I do still follow up with up to date how to root my current phone, just because I like to keep myself open to root if i wanted to jump in the band wagon again.

Hey all.

My name is Yan, I'm 49 (maybe the oldest here, at least based on the posts I've read above) and father of two daughters (18 & 16; and no you cannot have their names or numbers, though they lurk and maybe post on XDA). I've worked in IT for a public college in NY City for ~28 years, starting back when I was a student (officially I manage the server guys, though I do or have done just about everything computer and IT related).

I've been into technology and taking things apart and modding since before I was 8, and started hacking, designing, building (back when you used a soldering iron to do it) and programming computers in 1976 (jr high). I mostly use Windows, but also OS-X and Linux, plus ~15 other OS's over time. I program in various languages as needed but mostly hack things together to do what I need or want.

I've mostly stayed away from gaming (don't have any consoles) because I don't sleep enough as it is and gaming isn't as much fun as learning. I am interested in just about everything (not just tech, I mean just about everything), especially how and why things work the way they do and are similar to other things that initially appear different. I spread myself way too thin and lose interest once I feel I understand stuff enough. (I have a good memory tho, so I rarely forget stuff; at work, people think I know something about everything.) As for actual hobbies, I read a lot and love to cook, I watch too much TV, brew beer, shoot guns (yes, even in NY City), ride my bicycle, and raise my daughters.

For Android devices, I currently have an Amaze (personal phone), TMO G2 (work phone) and Acer A500 (personal tablet). My previous Android phone was a MT3GS and I also had a Nook Color (both now belong to the 16 year old). I've had iDevices (tho not an iPhone), Bumbleberries and Symbian devices (and support all of them except Symbian in my day job); no Windows Mobile yet.

I've been on XDA since I got the MT3GS but have lurked until last night when I was finally able to (maybe) help someone with an Exchange issue on their Amaze.

BaQui63 comes from the Cantonese for White Ghost, slang for a white foreigner(badly transliterated) as I am a white guy born in 1963. It started as an AIM sn.

Anyways, I've nattered on enough already.

I'm 31, so I haven't had enough time to get as far as you have(but hope to go down a similar IT road), and it sounds like you hit a higher level of success younger than I have - but I think I could describe myself in many of the same ways! Literally everything in the 3rd paragraph exactly aside from having daughters and beer brewing(thought beer brewing sounds fun!)

Welcome to the forums, as smart and technical as you are I hope you get some chances to share all that knowledge!
[HTC Amaze 4G] saseekutz:
My names van. Im married with two daughters. In my spare time I like to play MW3, skate, and bbq. I'm about to retire my Vibrant as my daily driver in a couple days when my amaze comes in the mail. Sad to let it go since I've transformed it into a savage beast!! However I cant wait to crack open this phone. Been in throughout these threads all weekend, cant wait to get started :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] baqui63:
Meh... don't know that I'm all that successful, though I'm happy most of the time, so I guess I am.

Beer brewing is great and not all that hard or time consuming to do reasonably well. Once you get started (a $100-$200 investment) it definitely saves money, unless you actually like drinking cheap American lagers like Bud and Coors Lite.

It is funny how many people here switched from my old phone(the vibrant) to the amaze.. this was one of the first phones I considered a big enough upgrade to make the switch, no regrets!

I guess this is a mini-bump, I like seeing the thread get new users, quiet users, and OG's alike!

Hi, I'm Rebecca. I don't post here that much, but I do wander through the threads often looking for tips and tricks. I very much appreciate all the work that you guys put into these phones and that you share it. The Amaze is my second android phone and while it can sometimes be frustrating, I enjoy messing around with it. Anyway, that's about it. Nice to meet you all! :)

Wayne, I dont know if it was your constant subliminal "get an HTC" or what, but I picked up a white HTC One X yesterday, AMD I'm really digging it. :thumbup: I scored 4,435 on Quadrant. (yeah, I know Quadrant is bunk), but, it's certainly better than the.poultry 3,250 I scored with the Note. ;)

Hello, you can call me dpsi. I've been lurking XDA for ever since I got my first smartphone; which happens to be the Amaze 4G. I joined as soon as I found out that Mobilicity (my carrier) was releasing ICS. Problem was there were no RUU's sooo I tried to give some info like CID's and what nots to the amazing and talented people on these forums. Hope to contribute to XDA very soon.

Sold the amaze to try out galaxy s2 wich is over rated and felt cheap . Sold it and got another amaze the phone I have now wich is running nrg stock Rom .
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I haven't seen that many Florida peeps, and it is nice to see some represent! :D I'm from Daytona, but currently in Jacksonville..

And I've seen some peeps comment about development for the device.. the people who are currently putting out rooms are putting out all the flavors that are possible until we get a custom kernel or get also fully running.. anything more than what we have till then would be more theming than anything else, and devs would be stepping on each other's toes.

Being able to be a flash addict isn't what makes a phone worth having, and honestly if there's something possible right now that isn't being covered by devs, maybe suggest it so other people can show if they want it too.. and if the Dev has the time and thinks it is possible, they can throw that in somewhere.

What makes our development section better than other devices is that they are all willing to share with each other to make the device better, rather than be totally competitive and want to be the ONLY one with certain functionality.. once we get over a few hurdles we currently have, we have amazing devs who will give you what you want better than others ever could!
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
Keep in mind that the lack of development is due to the lack of source code, primarily the wifi drivers. The major development complaint tends to be the lack of AOSP.

See ya my fellow amaze owners, yes I know I know, I haven't been around that long but I gave my second amaze to my mom since I got tired of hearing her complain about her crappy exhibit 2 4G, was gonna get her something else for her birthday but I got tired of waiting, lol. So I just gave it to her, this was my second amaze, so I don't see me buying a third one, see you guys probably in the s3 or nexus forums. :cool:

Hopefully, lol, 629 is a bit heavy to throw on a phone, even for me an electronics addict, if I could somehow get a better price, no doubt I'd get it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
See, there ya go tho.. until you can afford it, and face it they will start being sold used for less than half that in the near future(people always have buyers remorse).. the amaze is a damn good phone.

I'm sort of thankful that I am a broke ass college student so I don't go buying new tech before it has proven itself for ungodly amounts of money..

But lets not make our mod yell at us for posting off topic - so I will call this post a bump, I want to meet more of the amaze people, not sell them on the idea of a new phone ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Not to mention that you could flash a at&t and sprint Rom on a t mobile s3 that opens a huge door to development

I'm Adam. I'm 17 years old and going to be a senior in high school. I am a member of the colleyville heritage high school marching band, playing mellophone and having been on varsity every year of HS. I first started getting into hacking phones when I got an iPod touch for my birthday in 8th grade, I jailbroke it the very next day regardless of what my parents said. I then moved on to my first smart phone which was the hd2 when I was 15. I entered the forums just as nand android started booming(I was a lucky bastard). I still miss my hd2 and hope on getting another one to have as a sort of toy. I'm.thinking of starting to try and develop, or at least port a rom, because as of now I'm not really doing much....besides getting ready for college!:D

Thank You!!!

Hi All,

I am grateful to the Devs and all of you who spend your time patiently answering questions. Together you've all helped me to make my Amaze livable by helping me to more than double my battery life.

I've been lurking the XDA boards for a while but have had little to contribute as I'm pretty new to Android. I started playing with it about a year ago having heard that I could somehow dual-boot my nook color, then, when I moved on to a Galaxy Tab I immediately started flashing roms on it. About three months ago I got rid of my iPhone (good riddance apple!) and bought an amaze for myself and another for my wife. Both of us were immediately struck by how horrible our phones' battery lives were.

My Amaze is s-off and I've tried every stable ICS Rom and kernel that I know of for the Amaze, I have fallen in love with CraigTut's Jellybean Fusion and use it along with Faux's kernel as my daily driver. That said, I'm a flash-addict and am always looking for a new or updated rom to play with! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

My wife is on Android Revolution and I think beyond the battery life improvement has little clue that her phone is running anything other than stock which is exactly the way she wants it to remain, LOL!

Looking forward, I am eagerly anticiating HTC's release of the TMo source code and hopefully the completion of the CM based roms. I've signed the petition and communicated directly with HTC urging it's immediate release.

Again, while I am pretty quiet online and will likely never post a lot, I am no less appreciative of all your efforts!

Cheers!

My name's Rip and I live in Dallas and also in Lucca, Italy. I'm old (44) and started programming when I was 12 on an Apple ][. I ran a BBS called "the Airport" in 1982 using my Apple, it's two 144k floppies, and a Hayes Smartmodem (300 bps).

I'm a huge Rush fan too, Danny. I was also really touched by your story. "For you the blind who once could see/ the bell tolls for thee" but also "why does it happen? Because it happens. Roll the bones." Keep up the awesome. I'm proud of your courage.

I've been a programmer for years and have worked with basic, Pascal, Cobol,pl1, sql, rpg, lotus notes, java, c, c++, c#, vb.net, and a bunch of other **** I forgot already. I've forgotten more tech than I remember. I had three projects nominated for the Computerworld / Smithsonian award in information tech but never won.

I'm also a recording engineer, producer, and musician. I've got a couple of electronic acid-jazz records, but mostly I'm a side man on other people's projects. I mostly do music these days.

I was ahead of the hard-disk recording curve back in the 90s and started a website called ProRec. We wrote about a lot of music technology stuff. I wrote an article about audio mastering called Over the Limit that went viral. I bring it up because it used Rush as an example so you might have seen it. The website was pretty popular which made it a target for hacking and I got tired of fighting dickheads so I moved on.

I still like to make records but there isn't much money in it any more. I've made maybe a hundred records. Most of them are pretty good. I'm lucky that the artists I work with are all good. I've worked with nobody super famous, but a few notables- guys like the Old 97s, John Lefler (Dashboard Confessional), Vanessa Peters, etc.

I'm on tour with Vanessa right now in Italy. I love Italy. The shows pay and the food and wine are great. Today I rode a Vespa over a mountain and back. Pretty sweet.

I've owned a Droid and a nexus one before getting my Amaze. I had cyanogenmod on both of them and loved it. I assumed (wrongly) that a lot of people would move from the nexus to the amaze and that CM would follow suit. I'm really happy that you guys have been working on it, and have produced some great alternatives (like Eclipzes new ROM).

Nice to meet y'all. Ciao!
