I have got Amaze last week, but there are two main problems with this device.
First, the "power off" button doesn't work sometimes, no responses when I long press the button.
Second, after installing some apps(about 60), wifi has some problem---when the
screen off and I open again, the wifi is automatically cut off. Even though there is a wifi "label" on top of the screen, I can't browse internet. Then I manually cut off the wifi and connect again, it works. But everytime the screen closes( u know, it is unwise to keep the screen always on), the wifi will be cut off automatically. I don't know the reason. I have changed a new one this week but same problems arise!!! I am driven crazy!!! Could sb nice to help me????
besides, I have tried "factory reset", and problems will go. but when I install apps again, problem rises again...
I'm having the same issue with the power off. It was working earlier but it looks like it stopped after I applied the htc update. I've been working all day and that's the only change

htc maybe do the same error like nexus one :/
I have issue even before update!! then how do u deal with the problem now???
what is the problem with nexus one???
to solve the wifi problem....
go to settings, then click on wireless and networks,
scroll down to wifi setting and click
On the wifi settings page touch the second capacitive button on the phone, then click on advanced settings..
On advanced settings page, change the wifi sleep policy to never..
This should solve your problem
same problem happened to me today, data reset the phone power off button problem will be resolved.
I'm having this problem now...and the wifi fix didn't work.
Any other ideas?

Our power buttons were notorious for just not working one day.
I am noticing quite a bit of light bleed onto the screen from the soft key LEDs ... Does anyone else notice this, or is it the nature of the beast? I am used to amoled screens, but this screen is beautiful.

Does anyone have a solution to the power-button issue? It will shut off the screen, but wont prompt anything if you long press the power button.

Found this surfing:
"Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with not being able to power off your device Amaze device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. You have security credentials checked, a password set,and Fastboot off. You must either turn off security credentials or enable Fastboot. For the Fast Boot option to work you will need to re-enable the Storage Credentials(under security settings) and enter the password once more. Then, enable Fast-Boot and you should be able to safely power cycle."
That last one worked for me. Not sure *which* - I turned on fastboot *and* turned on security credentials.
* edit *
But after the test reboot, it stopped working again...check settings, and security credentials is off - but fastboot is still on.
Turn on security credentials again, and the power button starts working.
I'm not going to re-re-reboot it, though...yet.
i was thinking of getting the HTC Amaze.... like, next week, currently have the MyTouch 4g and was going to give it to my brother, but have been reading issues with the power button, over heating, BT loss, no wifi calling..... anyone having these issues as well?

I just picked up my Amaze today. I had gotten a new SIM card just two weeks ago, but the TMO folks said I had to use the one that came with the Amaze because it supported the high speed downloads; older cards would not be as fast.

I have spotty 4G coverage here. My old phone was the HD2, which is 3g. Just today I happened to get into a 4G solid area and I loaded Google Maps - nearly instant load of terrain and satellite. Those would have taken several seconds on my HD2, or my wife's Exhibit II. So I think it is indeed faster if one lives in the right area.
I can't say what difference there is in SIM cards, because I have only had the new one that came with the Amaze in the device.

Hello all, I am not sure if any one has mantioned this or not. I looked thru the whole Atrix forum and could not find anything. I just got the Atrix about a week ago. I noticed that after using the data for couple of hours (Streaming music) it disconnects and I dont have access to data till I power off for a while and power on again. it is the same story every time I use data for 1 or 2 hours. replaced the phone once already including the SIM card and still the same thing. Any one having the same problem? Please reply. Thanks.
Am I in the right forum? If not, please forgive me, let me know and point me to the right direction? Thanks.
So you lose data completely? No h, e, 3g? Just bars? I had a similar issue on my captivate if I drove around listening to Pandora sometimes it would randomly stop playing till I went to the next song.

Well, I see the H+, but the little arrows (TX/RX) right underneath it disappear and I have no data connection and all this is happening while I'm in the same spot (In my room or at work at my desk). Also a window pops out saying Network Error. Also, I never see E or 3g. It is always H+ even when there is only 1 bar. Is that normal? Here is a picture of it. It just did it to me. Now i have no data connection unless I power down for a while. Here is another Pic. If you notice, there are no Arrows under H+.

It happens to me on data only without wifi on or off. I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else. I guess no one used the data long enough to see this problem. It looks like this is a Motorola problem and I will have to return the device. Don't want to but don't want to keep a defective device.

Check your Battery Manager -> Battery mode setting. I think by default it's set to Nighttime sleep, which (in theory) shouldn't affect any music streaming or sync apps until night time, but it's possible that the profile is wonky. Try using the performance option or the custom (even though custom warns you of this very same issue).
This issue finally happened to me today.
I think it had to do with Extended Controls widget not correctly enabling/disabling the data apn.
In settings everything was right but I could not get the network even though it was showing the H+.

Hi. If you keep using the data nonstop, you will see that it will happen to you more often. I read some where in a forum that Motorola is having some kind of a power management problem on these devices (Atrix4G & Bionic) where it over heats and effects the RF radio and Motorola is denying it. I am not sure how much of it is true. I can not find that article.
Here. I fond it. Every one, read this.
http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...-suffering-unfixable-power-problems-20110126/
Hey all, Guess what I just found out. After talking to few AT&T tech support about the problem I am having with the device, they transferred me to Motorola tech support. Guess what they told me. The Motorola Atrix 4G is not a 3G device. It is only strictly 4G device. WOW. That sucks. I thought this was E, H & H+ device. That is not what I was told in the AT&T corp. store when I went to purchase it. I was told that it is a 3g/4G device and if there is no 4G network it will drop down to 3G. But I don't think that is the problem. The device is defective. Just now I power off and power back on and it is working fine so far and I don't think we have 4G network in my area.
Update: 03/11/2011 02:13PM PST PDT
Hello all. I am just doing an update. I went and replaced the device one more time (3rd device, 4th SIM card) and it is still the same. It keeps disconnecting from Data every 1 hour or so. I finally called Motorola tech support. The first level tech support could not help me, so he transferred me to second level tech support. The second level tech support told me that they are going to try it on their own devices that they have and call me back the next day. So they did. She called me back the next day and told me that they could not duplicate the problem (of course). So she said she is not going to let it go, she is going to sent it to the engineers to see if they can find out what the problem is and she is going to call me back on Monday 03/14/2011. If they still have no solution for this, I’m going to return the device and reverse my upgrade. It is just a shame that Motorola (being the first in communications) has to get beaten by other Competitors.
any update on the issue? im starting to have the same problem with my atrix.
Unfortunately, this seems to be happening to quite a few people. There's a longer thread on it here:

Nope. Even Motorola Level 2 & 3 Tech support could not resolve the problem. They wanted me to sent the device to them for more trouble shooting. I finally returned the device and reverse my upgrade. I suggest you do the same if haven't past the 30 days.

Here are a few problems I have with the amaze so far...
1) Fluctuating service. I hate this. I will have all the bars showing and then all of a sudden I get no service. What's up with that? The sensation would at least holds two bars at all times. (Oh and no wifi calling!)
2) Overheating issue. This phone gets too hot for no reason. For example I browse for 15 minutes and bam..its really hot. I make sure I exit apps by hitting the back button and my brightness is at 15%. There's no excuse for this.

4) wifi turning off??? I could be on wifi for a good hour and everything is OK, then I turn on the phone again to use it and I'm not connected to wifi anymore. I manually turn wifi on and off to get it to work again.
5) On the bottom in between the menu and back key my amaze has some light leaking through. Its tiny. I didn't notice it until it was completely dark but its there and now I can't help but keep staring at it. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it.
6) Lastly and the most annoyong thing for me is a clicking sound. When I pick up the phone it sounds like something getting snapped in place. And its almost everytime. Wtf is that. haha.

the no wifi calling thing sucks, will be fixed with root/update so meh
my battery drains about 50% when i'm sleeping, though this may be to mediocre service that goes in and out, going to try and shut mobile network off tonight and see if it fixes the issue
Though I agree with most of the other "problems" ya'll have listed...
I was told by 3 representatives, and one sales person (who sold me the phone) that you have to activate the new sim card included with the device to take advantage of the new wifi-calling that T-Mobile is rolling out (this includes the new GSII on t-mo). - I spoke with so many because none of them could activate the new sim correctly...and were baffled themselves as to why it was so difficult...haha.
Honestly, I havent been able to test wifi calling because the place where I'm renting has never worked with mobile devices, except for apple devices (of course...haha). I may report back here later when i go somewhere else with wifi.
Just wanted to pass on some info I was told by 4 separate people - they all claimed that's what a memo showed on their system when they pull up the AMAZE and GSII.
I come from a mytouch 4g, i have the same issue, suddenly i have no service then it's back on again. Never had that with the mytouch...
Well, I have had mine since launch day. I have a little but not much light bleed. I have had no heating issues. Last night out at bars I saw the signal issue. One sec I could speed test and pull down 14. Then I would notice no 4G symbol, try to speed test again and it would say no signal. Still love it though, nice and fast!!
My buttons light up when it's dark, but not when it's light. Is there anyway to turn this light sensor off and keep these lights on so I can see my home, menu etc buttons?

This doesn't sound right to me at all. I activated a new sim and I don't have the feature. How can a sim control the software on the phone?

Definately seems there is a (buttons) light sensor, they do basically stay on at night, not in daytime.
Prolly see some update/option to this in the future, keep em' on or leave to the sensor.

The sim is not controlling the software, but it can affect what information is communicated with t-mobile.
I don't know what you mean by you don't have this feature. Among other ways to activate the hotspot capability, you should find the "Wi-Fi Hotspot" app on the device.
Just to repeat/clarify my original statement/post: The Amaze 4G and the GS II (according to others) allow you to activate the wifi hotspot feature, have your other wifi-enabled devices connect to your phone, but when you try to access the internet with those wifi-enabled devices, you are prompted to upgrade your plan to include the $15/mo. plan.
I hope this is clear to all.
Te whole service popping in and out is starting to drive me nuts!!!! 3 bars of 4g then nthing! 1 bar of 4g then it turns into 2 bars of 2g! WTH!?!?!? Never had soo many reception issues on ANY of my Tmo phones!
Dosent seem to matter where I am when this happens as it happens often, far too often!
I have to assume that of all the connection point inside the back cover of the phone at least ONE of them is some sort of antenna?????
Cmon Tmo?!?!?
Even if it does warm up, I doubt that you will feel it if you put it in a case. Unless the phone is burning up..then yeah.
I am coming from a HTC sensation 4G and it had WiFi calling and WiFi hotspot feature.
The manual that comes with the amaze shows how to use WiFi calling also the one on HTC's site,
If I could put the sensation Rom on the amaze I would be happy as the sensation had what I want working,
I love the feel of the Amaze it feels much more masculine and fits nice in my big hands I find my self not mistakenly touching the softkey's as much.
Also I can seem to figure out where 4gb or the Rom is as it shows only 9gb for storage and 2gb for something else
On another note I have seen a post that shows an Amaze with WiFi calling, the had an earlier firmware,

why would you get flamed. only 99% of the people on this site know more about the devices theyre holding and things their carrier offers to them then the actual employees, one of the most known things probably being the grace period you have to return/swap out your phone if you want... noooo, no reason to be flamed.

To those who are experiencing issues with the Amaze especially after returning it a million times before buyers remorse is up, I recommend testing out the GS2 aka Hercules. Other than the resolution this phone is really great. The resolution isn't that noticeable unless you have OCD.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I jumped ship to the GSII. So far I'm happier. The amaze does have more bells and whistles but it was a bit heavy for me and the GS II has got - not substantially - but improved battery life and a more visually appealing screen. Also my eyes aren't great, so I actually appreciate the lower resolution screen which keeps the icons bigger. I can see the pixels easier than on the qhd of the amaze, but i have to be "looking for them" to really notice.
Some people are having better luck with their Amaze so just like a ton of other companies out there these days...there's a big quality control issue.
Looking service is really getting on my nerves now and i dont like this any more. Wonder if there will a fix for this from HTC or Tmobile
Alright, so as a techie, I understand that software can be buggy. I understand that updates fix and improve things over time, but sometimes do the opposite. I understand that I should put up with the occasional reboot. However, I DO NOT understand why the hell I cannot use my phone. I am tired, I am pissed, and I have exhausted the thought of how much I regret trading in my evo 3D. Yes, the LTE Evo has a lot of RAW power, but what good is that if I cannot freaking use it?
So, *ahem*, after my angry rant, here is what has been going on with my phone (and getting increasingly worse) for the last month:
4G my a$$ - I live in Houston, one of the the first markets that was supposed to get 4G. The Wimax network, which was aleady spotty, is still a lot more present in Houston than the so called Sprint LTE deployment. Look, I am a patient guy, but when my 3g speeds cannot go past DIAL UP then we have a big problem. Am I seriously paying 230 dollars a month so that four smartphones have DIAL UP speeds? Cmon, Sprint!!
People (HTC stock app) - it does not work. every once in a while, it will start working, but for the past month, I can only dial numbers on my call history. The problem? When I open the app and search through contacts, everything is dandy. But when I click on a contact, I get a black screen. It is a screen where the top notification bar still shows, and the latter still responds, but right below it is just dark. If i click home button, it does go back to home. However, clearing the cache, rebooting, etc, does nothing to get the app working. That's right. Reboot does not work.
Google Play - It ALSO does not work. So you can kinda search through it up until the point I click on an app. At that point, the whole thing freezes and my only choice is to exit out by pressing the home button. Moreover, reboot also does NOT work.
Gmail app. - Please see the last two points. Exact same problem. Except this time, when you click it to open the app, it simply takes me to a white screen. And that's it. Reboot also does NOT work, nor does clearing cache, etc.
:
So, am I alone in this? I do not know what to think. Since around 2008-9ish, when I first got an Android phone, I have never hated a device so much in my life. The worst part is, it used to work. And then it used to heat up a lot. And then right after a meaningful vacation with my wife, it had a sudden death (the screen literally went off when I was using it, never to turn on again. And according to my forum research, I was not the only one who suffered this "sudden death syndrome") losing all my pictures. And then Best buy black tie's thingie got me a new one, which is the one I have now...with a gazillion problems. Thoughts, or recommendations?

I never stick with stock roms. I always unlock/root my phones so I can get the best experience. Haven't had ANY of the problems you listed except LTE, but you can't do much about that until the towers are updated/upgraded.
I am alright with 2,3 and 4 and not worried.
I totally agree with you on # 1 ! Man, I just hate my new phone right now. I can get LTE speed here, BUT .. it does not hang onto the signal. Even when I am a few blocks of the tower ! Sprint or HTC have to adjust the treshole.
I was so happy with my 3D. I was able to Skpye w my relatives even when I was inside a room bc the 4G (not LTE) was great!
I do understand about paying $280 for 4 lines at dial up speed!
Right now I am frustrated of Sprint lying to us. 5 cities are ready for LTE, yet the deployment is only 20% complete !!!
The issues you list could all be related to network vision upgrades....
Have you tried switching the phone from lte/cdma to cdma only?
There are areas in Dallas that I have to do that in. Speeds went from horrible to avg .8 mb down and .6 up

Im in KC. At my house on the eastern side of the city I get solid LTE service as of sometime last week or so. Haven't run a speedtest under 8mbps down. Look at the phone, LTE is always there.
Then I drive to work. Not 2 miles from sprint headquarters. 3g is abysmal. I can get 4g if i stand in the right spot outside. Nothing inside though. And when I see that LTE I don't pull more then 1.5mbps down. All part of the upgrade process.
Once you get it the phone becomes a whole new beast. And first run cities are supposed to be totally completed by what? December.. At least in KC.
So the reason your signal is such crap just means that your LTE is coming. Once it does, it's worth it.
Don't have any of your probs except the gmail prob. Seems to happen when its downloading mail and switches from 3g to 4g. Clearing gmail ussually solves it, once I had to login into gmail on my pc and delete the last email, everything worked after that. Not sure what it was about that email...

Ha! My wife's iphone is just as useless as my EVO. Please...
Alright so it seems most of you do not have the problem that I have with the apps having white screen of death, so I keeo being told it is a multitasking problem.. i have already cleared cache and all that, killing apps with task killer, rebooting, etc, but that did not do anything. In which other ways I can solve the mukltitasking issue?

You can't, short of installing an AOSP ROM.

By the time Sprint finish deploying their 5 cities in December to 100%, in another few months after that, another new model of LTE is OUT!
So what do you get out of these LTE phones that are out now ??????????????????????????
Can you see this ?
Mine has been doing this too, a reboot and wiping your dalvik-cache should fix it for awhile.
As for the network speed though, that you'll just need to call and yell at sprint about.
I'm bummed about the speeds so far (in Chicago). I seemed to have better speeds with my Evo 4G (3g service mind you, obviously WiMax will be better than the LTE)
I rooted and lazy pandy s-off immediately. However I just loaded a custom rom after 3 weeks of use (was happy for the most part with stock). Loaded Meanrom ICS and I'm very happy with it. Small bug here and there but definitely glad I did. No major issues plus you get quick settings and a working google wallet plus other things.
Try a different custom rom, it may solve your os/ui-related woes

Hello,
I just got the HTC One X+ from ATT. On my old Atrix I used it to listen to the radio through TuneIn or iHeartRadio all day at work.
Since I got the One X, it seems to lose its data connection a couple of minutes after the phone goes into lock, especially if I get an email notification. I've turned off the power saver setting and even unchecked the power saver options.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix? Do any of the custom ROMs fix this? I've rooted it using the AIOTK, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Simon

This happens on all AT&T devices that I know of. My personal opinion is it's the quality (or lack there of) in AT&T SIM cards.

Hmm...
It didn't happen on my Atrix running CM9, so I thought that it may have been a setting somewhere. Every time I unlock the phone the streaming picks up automatically.

It started and seemingly has remained to AT&Ts micro SIMs. I have had it happen on my iPhone 4 One X and One X+ all of which use micro sims
Have you heard about it happening on other networks?
Check if you have disabled Power Save mode, it turns all data off while in standby (screen off).

Hi Wlk,
Yep, that was the first thing I tried.

Interestingly my phone dropped to edge for some unknown reason and I wasn't having any problems. I rebooted to get back to 4G and suddenly the problems started occurring again. This is my first true 4G phone, the Atrix was HSPDA+ (or whatever). Maybe its a network issue?

I'm pretty sure it is NOT a micro sim issue. Probably has to to with HTC/ATT wanting to save as much battery as possible. Same reason they changed the multitasking, saves battery. Have you called support about it? That is a genuine complaint, it shouldnt happen.

Not yet, I thought I'd post here where I might actually get help.
I have this issue as well, and I'm pretty sure it's not an ATT specific issue since I never had the issue on my HTC Inspire 4G (DHD). Not when it had stock gingerbread, not on ICS, and not on JB. first time I've ever had the issue was on this device. I suppose it could be something specific to LTE, but that'd strike me as odd since bandwidth doesn't appear to be an issue on it, and streaming music doesn't take much. Like, 192kbps music stream out of the 45mbps I typically get in my area.

I stream music in my car over LTE to my BT radio and I don't have any problems for hours. Do you have an android market task killer or battery optimizer installed?

Me too. I didn't have any issues with my previous phone, but it didn't have LTE. It's hard to narrow down exactly whats happening.

No, I don't now and I didn't before I rooted it either. I will probably take it into an ATT store tomorrow and see what they say.

Lol, they won't be any help. Since you're already rooted, I would try another ROM to see if it happens.

Perhaps this is an HSPA connectivity issue. OP, are you on LTE or HSPA when this typically happens?
I noticed that this happens with the WiFi signal as well.
I can link my EVO 4G LTE to HTC media link HD (got it for free from pre-ordering htc one). However, HTC ONE wouldn't connect to it without turning on the hotspot which I don't have. I was wondering if there's a way to fix this? Has anyone successfully link htc one to the media link hd?

Bump.
I have exact same issue.
Can't figure it out.
I really hope AT&T didn't rig it so we have to get Hotspot through them.

Same issue - can't get it to work... and I'm a computer guy! haha.
Called ATT - they were obviously clueless and at first I needed to add hotspot, after refusing they transferred me to HTC. Setup a ticket with them. I'll get back with info once they contact me.
I suspect it's something to do with ATT's customization, surprise surprise.
Same issue - HTC One "2013 M7" at&t
I got it to work by tuning on airplane mode then tuning wifi back on. But once I turn airplane mode off it no longer works.

It should start with 1.xx.x.x
Yup I had this problem too. I'd try to connect and that damn message would cancel out anything I did with it. I tried freezing everything AT&T related through Titanium, but that didn't fix it, so it's part of the ROM.
I flashed a ROM from the international forums (Renovate 1.0) and now I'm able to connect just fine though!

As far as I can tell everything is working perfectly. All the AT&T bloatware is gone, as smooth/smoother than stock, transparent notification shade, back button as menu enabler, etc. Only thing missing is the 4G and LTE icons in the statusbar. I still have LTE I think (haven't tested), but the icons are just different, which isn't a big deal to me. I also dirty flashed this so I didn't lose any data and I haven't encountered any negative side effects.

Can you link us to where you got the files and/or if there are instructions on flashing this? Also I'd like to confirm this is the HTC One, not the One X, V, S or any other phones. I'm still trying to figure out why the hell HTC would call this the "One", other than to make it impossible to search for items for this phone vs the other phones. :-\
Also have you confirmed LTE is working?
Thanks!
P.S. Still haven't heard back from HTC/ATT, but I'd just assume blast away all the bloatware from the get-go.
Same problem here. First says check the input on my TV then says I need to enable hotspot. At one point I was able to connect long enough to change the name of the media link and it even displayed what was on my phone, but then the aforementioned dialogues popup and I am forced to click ok which puts the tv back at the media links initial screen. I've tried both wireless n and g as well as my Panasonic and Vizio tvs. Version number on the media link is 5.19.103.1

Yeah this is the HTC One. No way in hell would I be flashing a One X ROM on my One. The ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202696
Standard instructions for installing a ROM. Download the file (I used v1.0, not the nightlies), place it on SD card, boot into recovery, install .zip file.
- I said no when it asked to wipe my data before installation (it's an aroma installer).
Something else I just noticed, the media link is connecting to my wireless network and it displays the SSID and full signal strength. However, as soon as I try to push content to the TV, via the 3 finger swipe up, the wifi signal strength drops to nothing and it attempts to do the whole tethering nonsense. Also, "filter multicast" is in option on my router, but it is disabled. I figure I'll just keep this going since not everyone will want to flash a new ROM just to fix this.

I'm not sure when, but I'm sure HTC/AT&T will release an update to get this working properly. My Media Link is still 'pending shipment'.

Phil says his works but he has an older firmware on the media link
I've talked to both att and htc for a couple hours and both of them are casting the blame on the other.
att tried to tell me once that i needed a hot spot plan... until i explained the technology to them and said how my One X connects just fine without a sim card in it.... and they quickly take it back
eventually they both tell me there should be an update to fix it yada yada yada
Well hopefully someone will come up with a fix before then...I don't have much confidence in them patching it unless it's pretty widespread. Not many people complaining of it yet

i can already see AT&T behind this. Turn on hotspot, accuse users of using the hotspot, remove unlimited data plans. makes total sense to me.

Does he have the mobile hotspot plan? As a tech writer I'd imagine he would.
