I love my phone

I love my cell phone

Yup......!

[HTC Amaze 4G] mindspec808:
Honestly...I love this phone....and I will love every 600 dollars I spent on it as long as it lasts......it ain't called amazing for nothing

[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
I was running ARHD 3.0.1 the wifi calling lag was still there. Anything that runs ICS has a horrible wifi calling lag. Numerous support forums on the T-Mobile site have plenty of people pissed. The only way to get perfect wifi calling is to downgrade to GB like I have. Yes I'm missing out on some amazing development but wifi calling is a huge deal for me given I have absolutely NO cell signal where I'm living now and have no landline. So I NEED wifi calling.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
you paid 600 for that phone? :eek::eek::eek:

Yeah I thought so... smh :rolleyes: ur signature says HTC glacier... that has working WiFi calling... even on aosp ROMs.. I'd take the mt4g over the amaze...

Sent from my Wicked Galaxy S III
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
I use both phones. I use my amaze as my DD when I leave the house but use the MT4G mostly indoors. Biggest thing for me is I miss AOSP. Plus battery life on the MT4G with darkside kernel gets me 2 days of use.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CMB350:
I was about to sell my Amaze, but I recently went from stock to Fourth Bar Infusion. I love the phone now. It works perfectly for what I do with my phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlacKca7:
when you post it here the answer gonna be Yes lol, the no answers dont come to amaze threads no more, hihihihi, the amaze is an....amazing device lol, camera buttons is my reason to stay, tapping on a screen was never a way to take photos and will never be for me, the rest of the specs are basically the same as the top devices out there so no reason to spend another 600 for the same thing!
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
I think you're inaccurate... I didn't even list the ppl waiting to upgrade due to interest in new device or tight on money... or my own comment (my phone is in my signature).

And if you think the Amaze is as good as the newer devices... you're fooling yourself only :D

That's weird, cause on both my amaze and my sensation, battery life improved greatly with ics
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
I still use the Amaze it has a excellent camera and I like Sense. I just couldn't pass up buying a Note1 for 300. I like having phones, what can I say it's hard to get bored with two of them. I do agree that ppl don't like this phone, development has been rough and almost impossible to get a proper CM ROM working as a DD but I still think it holds it's own on many devices. It's not slow and works what else do ppl need?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SiliconBug:
Here's ports I use for WiFi Calling.

UDP

Dst Port: 40000-59999

TCP

Dst Port: 500,4500,5060,5061

Make sure they're on the high priority list if you have QoS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] benbeel:
The amaze is a solid phone. Literally the thing is super durable. Dropped it like 500 times and it still runs like a champ. CM10.1 has also breathed new life into this. I feel like alot of people date devices prematurely, and this phone is fast and reliable. Definitely worth it (or was worth it when I got it)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shadow Samurai:
Yeah. I keep, thinking of upgrading but there really is nothing wrong with the amaze. Especially when I see quad core phones that still lag a bit. Also iPhones because all my friends have one and when all their phones were about to die at 11 pm mine still have 40%!!! Love this phone ever since I found out that turning edge off saved a bunch of power and pretty much just gives me faster speeds on hspa+!!!!!

I also have dropped phone face down on a very rough concrete street and almost nothing happen to it, very minimal damage.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
Cell phone manufacturers and carriers have us all brainwashed wanting the newest thing that comes out. The Amaze is capable of running key lime pie or whatever they're calling it. The allure makes us spend money. I'm keeping this phone for a long while. I have an iPhone 5 but the Amaze I'd my DD.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Yes

Stock ICS tmobile is my dd rom..

I need a fully functional phone

What do you mean I can't say that??!!.. It's the fkin Internet!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Still my one and only dev-ice. I flash multiple versions of viper every day in hopes of fixing the last few non working things.

I ain't giving this phone up ever. I've passed up several opportunities to get an sgs3 but I like this phone better.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mgp53:
+1 Thanks for all your effort as well. The Amaze is a solid, fast, quality handset.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Let me tell you about my phone...

The speed of this device is like lightning. It looks beautiful, does everything, and gets the quickest updates. The camera is ok, but I don't need a DSLR. Beautiful design (the back, bezel, and front screen). No LED bleed to worry about, and the LCD screen makes the phone look great on and off. I don't think I'd give up my Nexus 4 for anything (trust me, had a few offers to trade). :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
Alright. Alright. Dont make us feel bad! :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vonrottes:
My Amaze will be my Daily, until the One comes to T-mobile.

Then I'm going to break down and buy a phone from the store...

It's only going to up my monthly phone bill by $55.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snakecharmed:
I'm not much of a power user; just capable and competent enough to flash a ROM. I also buy my phones without a contract, so constantly upgrading becomes a tedious buy/sell cycle on eBay for me. Spec-wise, the Amaze is still more than capable of doing everything I need it to do, and I don't do too much with it since I use my desktop and laptop more frequently than my phone for computing purposes. I mostly need a phone to be a phone. I like the aesthetics of the Amaze and it's always nice to have something that stands out and is rare enough for people to ask about it.

My Web browser was acting erratically on my Energy Gingerbread ROM, so I finally took the time to flash to Energy ICS yesterday. I should have done this a long time ago because it has breathed new life into the Amaze.

I don't like anything that HTC is doing now. As I've said to my phone-aware friends, the Amaze is the last great HTC phone and it will probably be my last HTC with the way they're fixated on locking down devices, not providing extended lifecycle support, and not allowing removable anything except on the Evo 4G LTE. The reason why non-removable storage will never be acceptable to me is because my old myTouch 4G ate it because of the bad eMMC. A non-serviceable battery isn't a complete deal-breaker, but I just bought an Anker for my Amaze last week, so that tells you what I think of HTC's OEM batteries too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stoowyguy:
Yes

For the price, I think the HTC Amaze is actually a pretty solid phone. Just put Speedrom 8 (NOT 9) and maybe a custom Kernel and you wont be able to tell the difference between this phone and a HTC one X.. Well actually thats a lie but yeah you get my point. xD
[HTC Amaze 4G] dev_up_10:
What plan are you on?
[HTC Amaze 4G] avenged_sevenfold27:
ATM its my daily device but ima change that since the amaze battery life sucks big time I have all the tweaks and underclocked no gps, sync Bluetooth are enabled cuz I never use them and I still have to charge my phone every 1 to 2 hrs so I'll be getting me a optimus g unlocked soon since T-Mobile now supports 1900 MHz :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I can go 12 hrs

[HTC Amaze 4G] SocalTeknique:
Fixed!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Don't have the amaze any more :(

My dad still has one though, one day I'll steal it and use it for the day lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] 3hpv9w9m8E:
So. Amaze is my daily driver, with ARHD 3.1 ROM, and I will not going to change it. Yet. If there will be some kind of One2 phone, with Amazing camera and lots of memory.

For now with heavy usage Amaze is my work device for every day usage, such as: three mail push synchronization, news from many sources, one hour or more calls, two hours of traffic and GPS navigation through city, 4 social networks synchronizations, tonnes of mail and news on screen...

So all of that with Mugen 1900 - with 20%-30% of juice at the evening...with stock kernel.

And more than that - now with powerskin - two full days.

I'm not gonna change my Amaze with all of Sense features :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] TheCrazyDirectioner:
Geez if it wasn't for the battery life I'd still be using it as a daily phone over my Oppo Find 5. The OEM battery barely lasted at all so I swapped it for an aftermarket EVO 3D battery and got almost twice the battery life but still really wasn't enough for what I was putting it through. Barely lasted a day underclocked to 702mhz on CM10. Screen and Cell Standby use 95% of the battery. Besides that it was a fantastic phone, and is still on my 3 year WIND Tab so I still keep it as a music/video player since it's got 16GBs plus the 64GB MicroSD I stuck into it :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] PHAROSngm:
I was thinking of switching back to a new Samsung, I had switched from a Samsung Infuse (aka the only pretty samsung phone ;p), but flashing ViperAMAZE1.6.6 has breathed new life into it. For people who have issues with the battery, using this rom has given me about 14-16hrs of active use without underclocking. I was using cm10 for a while and underclocking to 1.2 would give me nearly 2 days sometimes. Still a strong phone imho
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yeah and people are still *****ing about battery. I got 20 hours on Monday

"Eat Drink And Be Merry. For Tomorrow They May Cancel Your Credit Cards."
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Ppl that ***** about battery are ones that use their phones a lot. If you are not a heavy user than the battery is fine. Standby for the amaze has always been solid
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Sh!÷ I couldn't get 20 hours if I just left mine in my pocket all day
[HTC Amaze 4G] PHAROSngm:
What rom are you using? The Gingerbread had decent battery for me but as soon as I "upgraded" to ICS the battery dropped on the stock WIND one. Check out Cyanogenmod 10's JB Nightlies, ViperAMAZE (comes with pretty Sense 4.1), or EnegryROM. I have gotten nearly 2days on cm10, 14-16hrs active on Viper, and I don't remember exactly what I got on Energy but I remember it being good.

I am certain that under-clocking Viper can bring me close to cm10's numbers. Hope this helps ^ ^
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I got 12 hours today heavy usage

"Eat Drink And Be Merry. For Tomorrow They May Cancel Your Credit Cards."
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
My battery lasted me about 14 hours on the amaze with 2 hours screen
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
Nope!! HTC ONE is the 'new' daily driver...still love my amaze but it has to stay in the closet until i send it back to htc so i get my $100 or possibly more ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Truck'nfool:
Yes it's still my main phone, but I will be switching to the Galaxy Note 3 when it comes out later this year.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vmartinez39:
I'm just playing with this phone. Actually intend to use it on my second SIM. My main phone is the Nexus 4. Bought it again because its a Sense device and mainly because CM10.1 became possible. I traded an Amaze I had last year for a PS Vita.... It wouldn't be bad if the dam Vita had good games or anything useful.

So yeah regrets. Got it S=OFF, Unlocked Dev mode from HTC. Tried flashing that SIM Unlock and it kinda worked. I got it to work on my previous Amaze but thats what I regret selling it, the phone was unlocked. This one isn't. I'll get it unlocked eventually but its only thing I need to do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nas.360:
Using it for the past one year. Haven't yet found a reason to change :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I've got mine till it dies! Which I hope it's a long long time. Perfect size. Great hardware. I went a day and a half with moderate use...

[HTC Amaze 4G] View92612:
Same here. It works just fine and was free. The latest update helped a lot, too. Now I'm debating whether to get a new battery or not.

It has been almost one year since I got it and battery life seems to have shortened a bit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Honbrok:
Eager for an update

I am using my amaze and i love it but i am afraid it wont get official update like at&t one gets.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
HTC has removed most of their stuff for the amaze from their website.. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
I saw that! It's like their server isn't big enough for all their phones...

We are the red headed bastard step children....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
They still support alot inferior phones tho the dirty bastards
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Lol the phone was cursed from the getgo
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Cursed

I'm really regretting not getting the SGS3 :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I know! Why is htc being so ridiculous to us? It's not even on their website! But the sensation still is! :mad:
[HTC Amaze 4G] mujju85:
Its means HTC will never give jellybean update for us
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
Dont say that maaan. Well get key lime pie and sense 5. Stay positive lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
We will definetly get key lime pie as for sense 5 it will come as soon as I get ION working
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Sense 5

HTC Butterfly just got an OTA of sense 5.1!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mal_toofy:
I just had an illumination!

Mobile phone manufacturers don't bother so much with keeping android phones up to date because they want people to KEEP BUYING NEW PHONES.

BTW.. I still LOVE my Ruby thanks to Sport star and all you motha****as for helping me get my dollars worth out of this amazing piece of engineering.
[HTC Amaze 4G] randomnoob83:
I sold my amaze and got a nexus 4 just because it was taking to long but I'm glad sportstar is keeping this device relevant :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] dev_up_10:
I sold my Amaze to upgrade to the HTC One. Awesomeness.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I have the HTC One and I'm getting my brothers S3 that I'm going to sell. I love the One! Battery is way better than the Amaze.

[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Just ordered my htc one couldn't resist, going to carry 2 phones one crappy one when I have to run errands and the beautiful htc one for home / safe locations :), hasoon I read you can sim unlock unlock htc one, and if so are you charging for doing so?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yes good choice and if you can please bring a firearm or some fireball pakoras so you can't get robbed. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
Or wear an altaf bhai t-shirt XD
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lulzmaster:
Nope. It stopped reading SIM cards just short of 8 months after I got it. I had two One S devices, new in box, in a two week period and both were defective.

Jumped ship to a Nexus 4 and the only reason I have to look back is that my Zune died and I need an MP3 player lol. So I still USE my Amaze, but it doesn't do much very well anymore.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
This is my daily device. Which device should I get afterwards? That would be a reasonable amount of time but I'm thinking of grabbing an s3 for 200 when the price drops further. :cool:

I'm not going anywhere though I'm keeping loyal to this phone and my goal is to release a rom for it when I learn how to make one correctly. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
Get s3 when the price is right.

Building roms is easy... just use dsixda's kitchen
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I did build a bunch of roms with his kitchen, but it's pointless because they are plain and don't have my "spice". ;)

That's why I want to theme and add some of my own custom features so it will stand out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
I switched to the S3 didn't like. Went back to the AMAZE then got HTC DNA which I still have & I like it a lot, also got a unlock HTC one X , but yet I still keep using my AMAZE I think maybe my own opinion its just the perfect size to fit my hands & the fact that I know more about the AMAZE then I do wit my other phones. But again my opinion I would stick to HTC for the only reason is that u could switch back & forth to different software ,cm10., sense 4., even miui roms but with Samsung u pretty much only have two only miui or aosp if that's all u like.!!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
S3 has miui, cm10, cm10.1, rootbox, aokp... stock aosp, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 can switch back and forth no problem
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yeah I know for sure it has many roms that's another thing I like. I like sense sorta but it's getting kind of boring after using htc phones for almost 2 years that's why I'm going to theme it.

I like the Touchwiz UI too so it would be nice to try out something new.

I wish htc made a successor to the amaze it is almost perfect but they shot it dead and it's not even on htc's site. :( It's incredible that people get much more higher tier phones then don't like them then come back to the amaze. That's interesting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
I left the Amaze for good.. Downgrade to the Sensation because the Amaze was sucks and still is with development. Then after that I got a GS2 and now a GS3... HTC still havent come out with something that calls my eyes yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
nvm
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
That's just the thing everyone likes something else. Me I don't like miui , but I wouldn't mind cm10, or aosp, but for some reason I just love the aspect of sense base roms. Again that's just me!!!!!!! Even though I'm not that much into sense 4 yet I guess that's why I keep coming back to the AMAZE for sense 3.6.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
S3 why? Come on bro think big do even bigger don't settle :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lulzmaster:
I assume they picked the S3 due to price. I'm not a Samsung fan, but I will give them that the S4 is a really slick piece of hardware. I'm broke though, so my Nexus 4 may be the first phone I have that actually lasts me over a year on one handset.
[HTC Amaze 4G] View92612:
Nexus 4 is the only phone that I paid full price for...Since 2008 I've always chosen free phones from T-Mobile. In order to get the Amaze for free I actually had to open a new account and cancel my old one that's already off contract. (had to change phone number.) I chose Amaze over One S at the time due to replaceable battery and SD card. Otherwise they are so similar in many tech specs. I still use Amaze and gave Nexus 4 to wife. Except for larger screen and much more horsepower, Nexus 4 is not that much better from Amaze IMO....especially with the loss of replacement battery and SD card. I got Nexus 4 because it will likely be supported and able to run most apps for the next 3 years..

I hope I made the right bet. Hopefully I'll find another good free phone when my contract expires next year.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lulzmaster:
However it's that extra horsepower that makes all the difference. I had a One S for two weeks after my Amaze stopped reading SIM cards... And while it was a good bit quicker than the amaze, the PenTile screen, data connectivity issues and etc made me move on from that with quickness. I'm only coming back around these forums to try to squeeze the most out of this device that I can while I save up for another Zune lol. There are times that I miss this phone, but then I remember the abysmal battery life that I would get, and the capacitive button and flash bleeds, and I stop missing it so much.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hd2joel:
Still my daily driver, was about to upgrade until I got my Ouya. Now that I'm going to use that for my android gaming, I'm not in such a hurry. The amaze works fine as a pocket camera & smart phone. Now that I'm not going to be gaming on it, it seems pretty good. At least for another year until the HTC One comes down in price, now I can wait. Thanks Ouya!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I have yet again since moved on! My 4 month run with the Nexus 4 was nice! But I needed more size! BEHOLD! My sig-pic! :D

I thought ron swanson didn't believe in technology
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I ditched my amaze a few months ago and got an s3. Best decision ever. The amaze had way too many issues to overshadow the few plusses it had
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
The amaze is a solid device. The only thing missing is more development, and htc support for it. We could have had more development if more people got it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
and that would have required HTC to market it better, and introduce it into more markets than they did. Another case of HTC shooting themselves in the foot. Still love my Amaze though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SocalTeknique:
It will be as soon as I get it S-Offd
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
HTC One is going strong, can't wait for AOSP to be more solid, runs and looks amazing on this phone, hopefully we get the nexus edition RUU soon
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Stop making me jealous. :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
What's there to like about an apple clone? HTC is taking the wrong approach when it comes to phone design.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bullsfan33:
Still use my Amaze. I love it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Apple clone? They look different, feel different, and are made of different material. The one is metal and the iPhone is glass.

HTC would have been sued by apple if they copied their design, they learned from Samsungs mistake.

I'm no fan boy but I think the one looks great!
[HTC Amaze 4G] View92612:
DNA for $250, tempting...but

I saw some lady is selling the DNA for $250. It would have been a significant upgrade from the Amaze.

However, considering my needs it's unlikely I'll benefit much from it.

Price: HTC Amaze was $0 and DNA adds $250 to my bill

Screen: 5" is great over 4.3" but it's not like I can replace my Nexus 7 with it.

1080 x 1920 is high but I'm not going to watch movies on a phone.

Most games don't benefit so much from it on a 5" display. 6" would have been more attractive.

To me the resolution is overkill for the size of screen. (441 ppi way over even "Retina" 264 ppi)

Weight: Much lighter, probably one real benefit

Performance: Much faster but my current apps run well enough on Amaze

Software: I'm not a big fan of Sense. I can live with it but I don't like the extra resources it requires and the "add-ons".

I'm still on stock with many services disabled but considering which custom rom to switch to.

Connection speed: LTE is great but I use mostly Wifi. I am on T-Mobile paying only $10 for data and never even use up my 200MB quota.

I have about 11M download speed outside of home. (lose connection a lot at home.) and I cannot afford Verizon.(would have to pay 60% more per month) I am already paying a lot to Verizon due to FiOS.

Storage: Amaze: 16GB+32GB class 10 SD. DNA: 16GB internal

Battery Life: Amaze: 6 hours x 2 (replaceable battery), DNA: 12.8 hours non-replaceable

Conclusion: based on my needs I should wait until my contract expires to get a subsidized phone...either free or something up to $199.

By the time my requirements may be higher but the average phone specs would surely be much higher as well.

(Looking at recent showings at Computex, so many new devices packed with more horsepower with 2GB ram becoming standard and many moving closer to 6")
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I would love to get my hands on one of those.
