[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunters116:
Guys, I have a weird problem. Aside from the random reboots, the device was working fine. Fast-forward to a few weeks later after I have the phone, the screen becomes completely unresponsive... :confused: I'm not sure why, but I can't even set it up after doing a factory reset and everything.

Does anyone have ANY suggestions or methods to make it work? I'll try anything, especially since this thing is now an expensive paper weight.

Thanks

[HTC Amaze 4G] reeshmd23:
Thinking of switching to this phone from the g2x is it as buggy random reboots? Just curious how this phone performs
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
No it is actually rock stable for stock, and still stable for AOSP. You will be stuck on GB and ICS until we get a developer to build us a kernel for JB Sense. Unless you want Cyanogenmod or AOKP.

Everything performs fast, it's not a HTC One but 1.5ghz is more than fast enough.

Try and get the phone for <180$ if you buy it.

Battery life is ok not bad but not excellent. My custom roms and other people's roms can help with that.

As for dev support we don't have as much as other phones but we are still going somewhere. Sorta.

Hope I helped. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Even absolute stock, this phone is great!

And +1 to what SuperAfnan said!
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
This phone is still great ad comparison with otherz...

You may invest in amaze..
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
To be honest I wouldn't buy this phone any more, it's too old, and if you look through the forums many people have had bad luck with this phone (bad battery, random reboots, backlight bleed, squeaky back) not saying you will have all these issues, but odds are at least one of these issues will plague you. I was lucky and only had the back light bleed, but my cousin also got this phone on my suggestion and he was plagued with reboots no matter what Rom I tried putting on it, and after a while his started to charge extremely slowly (to the point that it was unusable while charging, as the phone lost charge faster). He ended up selling it and got a sensation. I would recommend you get an HTC one x, which you can get for around 200-210 dollars off swappa and even eBay (I just ordered 3 of them all mint condition with boxes and they costed me 200 on average, one was 175 (but without box), one was 210 and one was 217 but they had the original box. Good luck

I got my girlfriend an HTC one x about 7 months ago (found a great deal on craigslist for 130 dollars, the phone was complete mint with the original box also in mint condition, guess the guy didn't know what his phone was worth) and it truly is a very nice phone. Only gripe would be the storage but if you don't play a lot of games I find 16gb is enough storage for most needs (people argue about their 100gb music library but with Google play music their arguments fail, and who needs to really carry a year's worth of music with them every day...)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I loved my Amaze but I have moved on from it.

The negatives: Button Back light bleed, randon reboots (caused by a bad battery), battery life is not too great, not much accessory support, no JB Kernel, odd ball 11pin micro usb port (still able to use a regular micro usb tho)

Everything else is nice... screen quality, camera, speed, sound... dev support is little but its still kicking.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
As for cons only the battery life sucks other than that the phone is great for me :) well hardware specs wise the phone is really good for the ongoing price comparing to some high priced low spec devices out there, but software wise it's not that good cuz we got stuck in ics, I mean officially.. But we have custom roms so yay

AMAZEd....no pun intended....right? :cool:

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

I find it to be a rather pleasing phone honestly. I came from an HTC One V with Virgin Mobile and wanted to try T-Mobile because it was $5 and actually had support for 4G where I live. I looked on Craigslist for a decent T-Mobile phone. I looked at Sensations and almost bought one, but then I stumbled on the Amaze. The way I looked at it, it looked like a Sensation 2.0; faster processor, more RAM, support for 42.2 HSPA+, and more storage. I was originally gonna buy it from a guy for $140, but he dropped it to $120 because his kid threw the case away. I've been using it since about March or April and haven't had a single issue with it, except for the button bleed, but it doesn't really bother me. I can't really say anything on battery since he gave it to me with a 1900 mAH Anker batter, but its been decent. So I guess there's my story of how my Amaze came to be. It's a great phone that I've never even heard of prior to buying it, and my hobby is watching reviews of phones just because. I think these days, you can probably get it for less than $150 easy. I'd say if you care about massive dev support then go with the Sensation, at the expense of a less powerful phone, if not, then go with the Amaze. We may not have the most devs, but the ones we do have are amazing (no pun intended) and extremely dedicated. I hope this helps with your decision. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] fneng:
Very amazing review about amaze but on side note once sports88 (developer) said sensation and amaze have same level of development except for number of roms where sensation is leading.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
For button bleed use the mod that kills them, use energy tweaks to disable button lights, or use one of my roms. (All of them have button lights disabled). :D
[General Questions and Answers] TeTTiweTTi:
Hi,

I was wondering: What is the reason when you flash a new kernel (BIOS) and ROM (OS) your apps can be still there?

Is it because the apps can be considered as portable programs - to use windows terminology - and anly some system folders are overwritten when flashing a new ROM?

Thanks,

TeTTiweTTi
[General Questions and Answers] ASMI1:
when you install kernel, your apps will still untouched!

when you install new rom, your apps will be removed because this format the /system partition and wiping the data will remove your personal apps! but if you just made an update, I think your apps will will there.
[General Questions and Answers] sks93:
As long as you dont wipe data or format system while installing a new rom then your apps will stay there but thats not recommended to prevent any bugs or issues that might happen to u.. Happy flashing :D

I have an i747 ATT US S3 which is showing it has 4.1.1 ROM.

Is that because I am rooted (but still stock ROM) and have missed OTA update(s)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danvee:
Nope. You haven't missed a thing, so far as AT&T.

They haven't released it, and nobody who's talking knows when we'll see it. (regardless of what you read anywhere).

There are a few ROMs out there, like Dandroid which are ported to AT&T S3s.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] movrshakr:
Thanks.

ROM Manager on my phone says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA updates..." Is that because it is rooted?

Also, can you list a few other ROMs for i747? It is really hard to hunt them down, that is, to find the ones that are compatible with YOUR phone.

I particularly would like to find one (or kernel) that has "sound improvement" module in it. I had supercurio's voodoo sound on my earlier S1, and the S3 sound for music is nowhere near that in quality.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danvee:
Yes.

Look in AT&T Original Android development and AT&T Android development.

The headers tell all.

Read the threads and you'll learn what you need to. :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] movrshakr:
Thanks for those great leads--lots of stuff there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Although a harsh response he's correct. We don't really push favorites here. If you had looked for rom's you'd find them as they are in the development sections.

hi

I want to add a number from Call History to one of my existing contacts (i.e, add to home telephone of an existing contact)

Any program that can let us do that

[General Topics] Anton.Valleyman:
There isn't any way around this, though maybe there will be in WM2005 or through a third party program.

It's something that annoys me, too. The way round it is to get it up as a New contact, then copy the number and cancel saving the contact, go to the correct contact and add it that way.

Bit long winded, but other than writing it down by hand or remembering it I don't think there's any other way.

Cheers

Hey Guys..

Simple trick....

Tap and hold the number in the call history

Then cancel the message

when i boot up i will get google logo and nothing after that.

i have gone into the bootloader and gone into recovery mode and done a factory reset multiple times with no results.

connected to computer and run both NRT and nexus toolkit and tried multiple options.

flashing a new rom wont work because wont boot up and let me turn on usb debugging.

What did you do to erase your ROM?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
Your rom has been erased, as your device has no system to boot into. Your must have formatted your system. Just flash a rom and you should be fine. If needs be push the zip to your device through adb if you don't have a rom stored in your device, or if the current one is corrupted (which may be why it's not booting), and always check your md5.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
All you need to do is flash the factory images through fastboot, or a custom ROM through recovery. There is nothing stopping you from taking either of those actions.

Ya. On the S3 there was a file to flash that would reset back to stock and reset the flash counter, we need that. Triangle away doesnt work on MF9 yet so it kind of a pain to actually reset back to complete stock. You have to flash back to MDC or MDL rooted and reset the flash count then unroot.

If by bad IMEI, you mean it is blacklisted, then there is not anything we can do. The tools wont allow it and even if they did, it is not something we are allowed to do on XDA. Even if you bought it legitimately from someone else, it will still be considered stolen property.

If this is not what you mean by bad IMEI, go ahead and PM me with the following information:

Device Model

Current Rom

Current IMEI state (dont post the actual IMEI)

How was the IMEI initially lost?

:crying:

Your not the only one.

I bought my S3. T999 on eBay and when my wife tried to use it through t mobile, they said it was blacklisted due to non payment of phone.

I did some research and found out this is quiet common for people to get the no contract plan then ditch the phone when something new comes out IE s4 or S5 . I am currently in the process. of returning the phone to the seller. There is supposed to be a IMEI generator but I haven't found the software pieces to make it work.

It turns out that I really like android software and enjoy reading the tXDA threads. You can change the IMEI , but like Doc said , "there is really nothing they can do on this forum". Check. U tube and again watch for the scammers .

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Changing the imei in almost all cases is very illegal. Also these devices have built-in checks they run on things like the imei, and if changed often results in instability and other odd problems.

I am very sorry to hear when this happens, few things get to me these days, but this is one of them. I wish carriers and authorities would do more to prosecute those who do. First, its outright stealing from the carriers, then they turn around and steal more from normal everyday people! Its theft by deception in both cases. Just because its stealing from a carrier that they often see as rich and evil, doesn't make it right! But that's how they justify it in their minds.

I do wish I could help in situations like this, but unfortunately there's just nothing that can be done.

Do your best to contact the seller to get your money back. If you can't, leave a scathing review on their profile or something and then report it to the police.

Your best option if you can't get your money back though, is to just resell the device, honestly. There are plenty of people that will still pay a decent amount for a blacklisted Note 3, provided its in good condition.

You'll probably take a bit of a loss, but you just have to chalk it up as one of life's more expensive lessons.

Sorry we can't do more....
