[HTC Amaze 4G] jsyi84:
If you're going to use the above mentioned to support your argument as to why the One S is better than the Amaze I suggest you try again.

Let me ask you......

Instead of reading the specs listed on the box or from gsmarena of each why not tell me specifically without stating the S3 is power hungry how the S4 is a better processor than the S3 from your EVERYDAY experience and how it directly affects YOU.

Can you honestly say your One S lasts you all day long off-charger from 7:30am-8:30pm(which is my workday)? I can honestly say mine doesn't. Sure is nice to be able to have my 5 2450 "gold" batteries for "just in case"

Considering my SanDisk 64gb card is just about full with a couple gigs to spare what do you do with your One S to account for the lack of an SD slot? I guess you do without.(thank God my Dropbox size increased for my music so I can't listen to any of it or access anything when I have crappy or no reception)

Want to talk about poor reception seriously? I think the One S currently holds that title.....which is why I have a replacement One S being sent to me as I type this.

Wifi calling? I NEVER use it when I'm at home as there's no need and the only time I'd consider using it doesn't help me considering even the fastest broadband when I'm at my parents house is no better than the slowest DSL from 2003.

As for the other stuff..... let's be specific...

Sense 3.6 vs Sense 4? None. AOSP is my choice so I've gone through to delete as much of sense as possible on all my phones if an AOSP type rom is not available

Squeaky back cover? Amaze

Ceramic coating falling apart? One S

Screen/Camera bleed? Both

Extremely hot phone while syncing? One S

Crap reception? One S

Wifi issues? One S

Home Button issues? One S

Better camera? Amaze

Dedicated Camera buttons? Amaze

Wifi Calling issues? Amaze

Slimmer? One S

Cooler? Both

Basically my point is I can go all day. Why bash the Amaze by only putting the negatives in the spotlight and and only stating the positives in the spotlight of the One S? I use the Amaze, One S and MyTouch 4G Slide on regular rotation as new roms come out for each device. I enjoy it and each phone for different reasons. However, one thing I can say for sure is the One S would never be my daily. It lacks a microSD slot and doesn't allow for easily user replaceable batteries as the Mt4GS and Amaze do(and which both use the same battery).
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
:rolleyes:

Cool story bro

Amaze has a better camera and that's it. My one s doesn't get hot, has aosp roms made by real devs that actually work, has better reception WiFi and data than my Amaze that I owned for months. I dont need a camera button, theres an app I can press lol. No lightbleed or anything close to resemble. The chipping is on euro versions if you would read up on anything. S4 > S3. Never had a home button issue on either phone. And my battery lasts 7:30-5:00 with heavy use vs 7:30-2:00 as my amaze did

Idk what you're talking about, but enjoyed the good laugh.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I honestly like both phones, my friend has the one s and the pentile screen is horrid, that's the only complain about the one s, I have about 23Gb used out of my 32gb + onboard memory.

Sense 4 is being ported, so no biggie once we get that I'm good for about a year lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Yeah there really is no reason to have a removable battery in the One S.

5 hours of screen on and lasts me all day.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jsyi84:
So the devs for the Amaze are not "real devs"? What are they then?

As for the home button issue not affecting you...I can say it does affect me.

I have both in my possession and can speak from first hand experience not what I read off the box or some forum. I can honestly say due to the fact that I have both I can do a real side by side comparison instead of just going off my memory trying to recall the things I hated about a phone I had months ago....
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Months ago??? R u new here? I just GAVE AWAY my Amaze last weekend. I've had the one s for 2 weeks... What are you talking like I don't own both devices? I've done side by side tests for weeks. I've done more testing on the AMAZE then u will ever do guy... 1000s of hours for devs and senior members here dude. LOL

Enjoy your awesome phones dude... You obviously know what u r talking about... And that's why out of both forums that have this thread, YOU are the ONLY one who sees it clearly?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Lololol

Edit: from your previous posts... It sure looks like you often don't know what you are doing. Ha... And I call shenanigans on you even owning a One S :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Read through this whole thread and it seems pretty...childish.

The whole "my phone is better than yours" bit.

Honestly? To each his own, right?

You either want camera buttons, or you don't.

You either want a microSD slot, or you don't.

You either want a removable battery, or you don't.

So on and so forth.

It seems to me that the issue here between GG and JSY is that

GG completely bashed the Amaze and glorified the One S.

It shouldn't be that way. You like what you like. It's not a My Phone v. Your Phone thing.

It's just preference right?

I feel like every phone has it's pros and cons. No phone is "perfect".

If there were a perfect phone, we'd all be using it and never upgrading or buying new phones.

Afterall, how can you improve "perfect"?

And to be honest, perfect is a relative term when it comes to phones on this forum.

EVERYONE wants something different.

I hope that I didn't offend anyone with this post. I do apologize.

Feel free to quote and flame me, my feelings won't get hurt.

I just hope we can settle this issue by saying:

"Hey...our phones are different. You like what you like and I like what I like. Let's leave it at that."
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Didn't bash the AMAZE. Simply stated the several hw issues and development issues (which are no secret btw) and stated where the One S is better. Funny... I posted a similar post on the one S forum and nobody's butts got hurt. Lol

Amaze is the best phone ever made and there will never be another phone better regardless of how many issues and flaws it has.

There... Maybe that will make everyone feel better about themselves. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hawkee:
I think when it comes down to it the cost is the main issue. If you want to save a substantial amount of money on your cell phone plan then pre-pay is the way to go. But in order to go pre-pay you need to buy your phone off-contract. I just don't think the One S is worth spending $450+ on.

Now if you want to pay more every month then go with a contract and the One S. Just be sure to calculate your total 2 year cost.

As for the removable battery I wouldn't know what to do if I had a One S and it locked up. With the Amaze I can remove the battery to reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Damn it Glacier.. I went to stalking you to see why I haven't seen you posting nowherez.. and I see this "gave away my amaze" crap! Damn it! You are on that short list of people who've been helpful!

I'm about to go read your earlier posts in this thread to see how you glorified the HTC one.. but I have a feeling better development has to be a bit reason! I wasn't awesome-sauce enough to keep you around?? I'm hurt. :( Now I may need to go stalk whatever forums you're more active in, just so you don't miss the pain in the ass I am! :D

There is some sort of button or failsafe or something that most non-removable battery android devices have.. like on my nook color, holding the power button for 8 seconds is the equivalent of pulling the battery.

You're right, someone on a tighter budget, or someone more price aware would have to weigh the pros/cons of contract/no-contract versus cost of phone.. Since I always void warranties as soon as I get a device, buying used for cheaper and going without contract is the only option I consider. I've personally played with a HTC one a bit, and I don't see ENOUGH improvements over the amaze that I would consider it an upgrade - at least not when I'd be losing battery and external sd card access.

I wouldn't recommend the HTC one as an upgrade to someone that owns an amaze already, but user experience IS a big part of the whole thing.. so I can see why some people focus so much on development. All us amaze owners can do it push to get development rocking here, which may require some new contributors, and maybe an attitude change of some of the newer people here(if they want anyone to keep trying)..

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I'm not sure how long you've been around, but Glacierguy is one of the few people who would go out of his way to help the influx of noobs we've had- and he is sorta like a buddy of mine, and it sucks to see him go.. but it is truly pointless comments like yours that makes the truly helpful people like us not want to help at all.

You either contribute to the discussions on XDA, or you take something away from it.. and you decide which it is. I could say much worse than that right now, but I'm not going to bother.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Best post in this whole thread. Wayne can come in here and give a more objective opinion because he's owned both phones and I trust his opinion on this one. Now asking him about one s vs s3 is a different story...:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
When u trade your sgs3 for one S I'll catch u up to speed ;)

#buyersremorse
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
It was a joke, and I think others would agree, you had it coming with a post like that, so lighten up :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Yup, if you hold both volume buttons down and push the power button it shuts it off/ goes into bootloader.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
just got back from tmobile where i had a chance to look at the one s and the s3. i must say the s3 has the most beautiful screen ive ever seen on any phone. literally it was stunning. the phone itself felt more sturdy than the s2 did. i personally wasnt impressed at all by the one s, although i do believe it to be an awesome phone for htc fanboys :p to each his own tho, i just know in a few days, my s3 will be in hand :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AcedaJace:
hi firstly i bought this chargrr r

ebay.com.sg/itm/260922341954?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

its a geniune charger for the batteries of the note and it works on my original battery and 2 batteries i bought made in china with no brand for the note.

next i buy the 2700mah anker batts with the unicersal charger.

amazon.com/Batteries-SGH-I717-International-Anker-Multi-purpose/dp/B007JSSNHI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/191-7690781-5534019

the problem is the geniune charger cannot charge the anker batteries even though when i place them inside the charger it lights up to show its charging but after 5 hours of charging when i put the anker battery inside my note it shows 60% which means it didn't charge. the universal charger charges the anker batts fine since it came with them.

my geniune charger works cos it charges up the original battery. pls help.8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] aharmsworth:
I have two Samsung vehicle chargers, both have failed, one the micro-usb does not work with my note, but is fine with the portable batter charger.

The other simply does not receive any current from the vehicle, even after a careful cleaning and spray with contact cleaner.

Never had these issues with any other vehicle charger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AcedaJace:
Mine isn't the vehicle charger it's the geniune charger from samsung.

Do i need to list out the stats?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] digitbar:
your samsung oem charger is designed to only charge the samsung battery.

But, there is a mod to the charger that you can do to fix this. Its a very simple solder.

I trying to find where I read this then I will post the link
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] digitbar:
here is the link and it will explain

or not (first post)

ok google this

diy galaxy note charger

it will be the one that says. "How to fast charge your galaxy note"

an xda dev figured this out
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AcedaJace:
to digitbar thanks for explaining just curious though i was able to charge my no name brand batts on my samsung charger
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] AcedaJace:
Actually this isn't what i was looking for.

If you read my original post again i'm talking about the genuine charger not being able to charge 3rd party anker batteries. What you're showing here is using a 3rd party charger on my phone which isn't what i'm looking for.

I want the charger aka battery charger to be able to charge anker batteries. It has nothing to do with the phone itself. My phone charges the batts fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apk_xiz:
alright follow these steps and you good to go :D

mounting sd card via command prompt (via adb)

1) go to your's phone's file manager

2) create a folder named external_sd in /sdcard/ (you have to make this folder to mount sd card in /sdcard/ !!!

3) inject this command in cmd (adb)

su
mount -o bind /mnt/emmc /sdcard/external_sd

and done enjoy ......:cool:

mounting sd card via terminal (terminal file added for newbies ;) )

first do step 1 and 2 above .

then inject this code in terminal

busybox mount --bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

after mounting sd card to /sdcard/external_sd

done ......... enjoy :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Is it mounted under both then?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamer94:
Yeah i am wonering about that too.Also can we makecthis auto on every boot?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apk_xiz:
yes but those apps who need "external_sd" will find it :D

i guess we have to mount external sd card after every boot (due to nand stuff)

EDIT : this might work for the script to work on every boot. http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/samsung-vibrant/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pxrave:
old stuff i created with buragan such a thread...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sUsH667:
for doing this every boot you could use this...

hope it helps you.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammyservices:
Hi !

I am a noob in all these tech stuff so plllleeeesee explain ....what is cmd(adb) and where do I locate that in file manager ? Sorry for my ignorance bro !

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apk_xiz:
just download terminal (you need root) then just inject code(write) in terminal, easy no need to have adb in cmd (command prompt) ;)

busybox mount --bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

see picture :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z-vet:
Attached small script i wrote to automate this. Use it with Script Manager: unpack, put on your sdcard and run as root on boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fatjoez:
save line below in text file, no file extension

mount -o bind /mnt/emmc/ /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

use play store app: "smanager" free, to run script on boot + su
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frankind:
May found problem

I've tried this method long time ago but it's not perfect.

When you want to connect pc sometimes it does not recognize your external sd card.

You need to umount that path if want to connect pc or mount drive to not occur problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] filou75:
I agree : it does only mount my external SD on my computer now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mohaimed:
i can mount external sd card in my pc. but in file manager i have to mount via emmc..so is this fix for sd_card/external sd_card or mounting in pc or both?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] felagund:
Is there an equivalent of the fstab file found on regular linux distros.

Does anybody know which script auto-mounts the SD card @ /mnt/emmc

And also do you know if the double-mounting with

busybox mount --bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

could result in duplicated files as per the SD card media scan. I'm already getting some duplications the way things are now.

Do you think a

su && ln -s /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

could possibly work? The folder might need to be deleted first for ln to work and I already have files within the folder but somebody else might have also tried it.

I'm currently pretty busy with finals and don't have much free time to experiment.

Hey, everyone.

I'm trying to fix my brother's Active and not having much luck. I've been doing intermediate level android stuff since the HD2, so I'm not quite a rookie at troubleshooting. He said that he was at school, checked his texts, then the screen went out. So, that's where I'm at. I can't even really tell if it's a software error or a hardware error. The phone turns on, vibrates and the LED lights and that's about it.

Thanks for any help

If you had unlocked bootloader: Flashtool

If you had locked bootloader: Update Service and try repairing the firmware.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Hammett11:
No, thankfully I didn't make THAT mistake, or my previous post probably would have been my last ever. I charged it and, unfortunately, am back to square one. Same as the original problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
I have some experience with active.

Can you tell me more specific.

1.About the problem

2.modding history of the phone.(like root or unlock bootloadet)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Hammett11:
The phone does absolutely nothing except vibrate a tiny bit when you turn it on. So the most frustrating part, to me, is I can't really tell if it's a hardware error or software. I'm leaning toward software because even after I let it boot for a long time, I can't get the screen or any of the buttons to cause a vibration. BUT I also don't know if my brother had it set to vibrate on the lock screen like I always do.

From messing around with Flashtool I found out the bootloader is unlocked, but nothing custom has been done to it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Hmm...I'm very sure and no doubt that your phone hardware got some problem...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Hammett11:
So you think it's the screen? Is there a way to check without actually replacing it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
+1 with this

Okay,let says the screen got problem.the screen just have blank display right?

Try to put a sim card that doesn't have security pin when turn on.

After turn on wait for a few minutes and the try to call it.if the phone rings.the display surely defective.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Hmm I think you can open your phone (DON'T DO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH HARDWARE) and take the LCD screen and take it to nearest service shop to check whether it's working or not...and other possibility that your phone screen cannot be turn on is the screen power might got shot and burnt (like black out in a house,the power supply is shot :p)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Samsung messed up the LED coding. You would have to flash a custom kernel that incorporates the fix.

Next time please don't post questions in development.
[HTC One S] dung8604:
Not sure if it's a soft or hard brick, because the darn thing does not turn on at all.

When plugged into the computer, my computer makes the sound when a new device is plugged in and then continuously makes the sound when a device is removed.

Can't turn on phone, so can't get into bootloader or recovery.

Here is what I did:

Ran trickdroid TMOUS 4.0 for about a week no problems.

Just now installed MDJ's new kernel(plus the necessary script and modules), and updated radio(yes, the US radio).

Everything went well, I disabled smokin1337's scripts, and instead enabled setcpu with fairly conservative settings (only maxed at 1.5 Ghz, a screen off profile and a battery percentage profile).

Decided to reboot to ensure changes would stick and BAM! Brick.

I am going to call warranty and get a new one soon. In the meantime, I am going to leave the phone completely off charger and when the weekend is over, try to plug it in and boot into recovery and start from scratch. If anybody has any ideas to try, let's hear them.

Also, I've rooted many many many phones before. I'm not a noob to android modding, and I'm 100% positive I didn't eff something up. I've rooted and installed trickdroid on my sister and my dad's phone too, no problems. They do not have the kernel or the radio.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Must have installed wrong radio which could be perminant brick don't take my word for it though wait for a developer
