Telus Amaze 4G - HTC Amaze 4G

Who got theirs!? I know I got mine! Shame the boot loader is newer though. Hope that doesn't create problems for S-OFF.
My HBOOT is 1.90.0006

Picking mine up today or Monday!
Want to give me any reviews of your device now incase the Telus version is ****e?
Cheers.

Picked mine up yesterday. I'm still playing around with it. Used gps on the way home from the store. It was waaaaaay more responsive than my Hero was. The screen is absolutely beautiful. It's super fast and feels really nice in the hand. The Samsung GS2 was actually too light for my taste. Plus the samsung screen size was a little too big for my smallish hands. Downloading and installing apps happens almost instantly. Really happy so far....but it HAS been less than a day. I've already installed Juice Defender (free) to hopefully alleviate any battery issues.
I do have a question tho. I'm having trouble getting to the media on my SD card. I deleted everything from my SD card from the Hero, dragged my Music folder and Video folder to the card and popped it into the phone but cannot seem to access any of it. What am I missing?

Make sure SD card is mounted in settings

Got it sorted out. Had to reformat my card. Also had to select sdcard2 or something like that in the folders in PowerAmp.

I love it. Got it today... Replaced my N1... I NOTICE QUITE A bit of light bleed from the soft key LEDs though.... Anyone else notice this?

I noticed the same, I dont. My only issue is the current lack of unlock codes (none available at this time - I'm on Rogers).
If someone is aware of a SIM unlock method which would only require Temp root that would be awesome

i too picked it up yesterday
i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the rom
installed the recovery
but there are several issue,
1) tried several different roms, the wifi and bluetooth doesn't work other then the stock rom. ( i also notice the flash light doesn't work when using those roms)
2) stock rom doesn't come with the fancy camera,( the one with smart shot )
anyone find any solution?

Just got mine today and loving it. Noticing quite a bit of screen bleed but it doesn't really bother me.

It's true though it comes with 16gigs of internal so you have lots to work worth.
bonus if you have a 16 or 32gig to add I have a 16 for music and backups.

I've been using it on wifi only and after screen on for over 4 hours, running mainly apps (Facebook, Google+, XDA, mmajunkie) , Google talk, as well as taking photos and videos I got over 24 hours use before it completely drained.

My usage was 100% on WiFi, yes I had some long periods where the phone just sat but that doesn't change screen on time. From experience the RF network is always the killer. I'd be pretty upset to see under 12 hours on a charge considering I see 14-16 on average using my Inspire 4G (rooted with an RCmix Rom).
Between home and work I'm almost always on WiFi.

yes and he is using one of my roms which allready has a ton of tweaks in it to save battery life i was at 9 hours and it was only half that with mediem use

Can anyone else with a Telus Amaze comment on battery? Gotta say I'm impressed Telus didn't bloat or brand the phone (no Telus boot animation or apps) as well no branding physically on the phone.

My battery experience must be completed supported by my lack of radio network, I would expect a lot less once I'm actually using a SIM though hopefully still enough juice to reach 10 hours at least.

Just plugged my phone in to charge up so I can have a full charge in the morning. It was at 52% when I plugged it in. I had just over 12 hrs of light to moderate use today on that 48%.
I am still on stock sense rom and am using Juice Defender Free on aggressive setting. I saw no signs of the aggressive setting inhibiting performance. So far battery life is not as bad as I had heard it would be.

Well id say number 3 is your problem.
We told you how to disable sprint activation in the Disable Sprint Activation The Easy Way thread!
The way you've done it through Titanium may be the cause of your lock screen issues, sure I've read in another thread of this issue. Try searching, you will be surprised

Unsure regarding the screen as I play games on the Photon without any issues
If you regret it that much then consider getting rid of it and get something else.
Me personally love this phone and when I tell you i've had around 7 different handsets this year alone, this is the only one I want to keep. I've had the SGSII, HTC Sensation, LG 2X, Desire HD, Atrix etc, etc but this phone is stunning right out the box, speedy, not too much **** on it, has so much potential its unreal.
The days of the Photon are just beginning.

Well the LG 2X has half the available RAM as the Photon, 8GB of storage compared to the Photon.
The SGSII is a great device, very fast, **** loads of ROM's but far too thin for my liking, feels very cheap in the hand, when you go to pick it up off a flat surface I've forgotten how many times I dropped it.
But you need to be happy and the Photon ticks everything for me

Experience with EVO 3D

Not trying to brag or anything, but when I see reviews for this phone I see people saying it gives random reboots, locks up, crashes, overheating, and that It's just so problematic..however I never witnessed any of that, my phone never froze once on me and never had any problems like that. I've had this phone for about a month and a couple weeks and no issues
Yeah. Not every phone is built the same. I've had mine since day one. Still runs like a champ.
Don't know what all the fuss is about it's an excellent phone in fact I couldn't be happier

Hmm Unless you don't follow proper procedures with flashing roms and kernels there shouldn't by any instability.

Been using this since it launched in the UK. No problems whatsoever. My phones running default, had nothing done to it and It's smooth as butter.
The happy users won't complain or sing praises on forums much as we are satisfied with our product, while those that aren't happy will make themselves heard everywhere.
The only issue I have had is w/the touch screen freezing during calls --- although since I went on a flashoholic binge over the past week jumping between Sense based ROMs, CM7, CM9, and MIUI it seems to have fixed itself. I haven't had any issues all week.
All in all, I love it! Couldn't be happier!
I only really have four problems with this phone.
1 - The battery cover doesn't go on tightly in the top left corner.
2 - There is some dust under the screen.
3 - the phone gets quite hot under use occasionally.
4 - Having a PG86100.zip on the SD card makes it so that you can't boot to recovery through bootloader. Sure, it's easy to just remove it, but sometimes I forget to delete it and experiment too much. When I need to get into recovery in those cases, I can't because of the zip file. On my OG Evo if I didn't want to install the file, I could just say no and then tell the phone not to reboot. With this phone, if I say no, I HAVE to reboot.

Great phone, like it alot, also got an Sensation XE but I prefer my Evo 3D, don't know why, it's magic for me.
It gets very warm next to the camera(s) when I play graphics intensive games and the default music player is cruel, but I got PowerAmp and all in all I'm verry satisfied. Seriously, now the 3D-features aren't used for many times...but it's great to amaze people!
Here in Germany it's just 269€, means ca. 350$, cheap for the given value.
Yep, I never have any stability issues either, stock or rooted. This thing is a very stable beast!
I bought this phone on the release day for my dad's birthday. He had so many problems he had to get a replacement. I swear one day he was doing something on it and out of nowhere he had a reboot. He said it would happen all the time. I took possession of this phone about six weeks ago and have had not one problem at all. Maybe it didn't like him. But overall, this phone is awesome. Wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

You can always try a different launcher.
I think that for some custom roms (specifically xboarder56's) you can disable the 3D effects by a Tweaks app that comes pre-installed in the rom.

This device is more complicated than that.
However once you unlock your bootloader it's fairly simple.
I know NRGs Energy ROM also has the tweaks to disable the carousel and 3D widgets if you want. I actually think it's XBoarder's tweaks app just borrowed.
Like binary said, it's rather simple to unlock and root, just very time consuming on this device compared to many others. Binary put together great step by step instructions.

Everyone has a different opinion on battery life. I typically get anywhere from 16 to 28 hours of battery life depending on amount of use. Got the same on stock ROM with brightness turned all the way down.
If you like Aosp go with galaxy nexus. There is no telling when we will get Aosp Ics. If you prefer Sense though definitely go with the amaze. Its a great phone hardware wise! The real big difference is the software and camera. If the camera is a big thing for you maybe the amaze is the way to go. Its a much better camera.
Great phone, there are only two issues that my phone has:
+The capacitive lights bleed onto the main screen.
+The flash for the camera bleeds into the lens.
Besides that everything works perfectly!
Concerning battery: for me if my phone stays on standby it will last for days, but if i use it heavily it'll give me a good day's use out of it.

I was also torn between these two phones myself. I decided to settle with the Amaze due to the mediocre camera on the galaxy nexus, and also the lack of expandable memory (they seriously seemed to have pulled an Apple with this). The nexus does have the 720p screen (pentile though), but the Amaze offers the perfect blend of screen size and resolution. It seems like we do have a few hardworking devs, so it’s a matter of time before more jump ship to Amaze with more ROMs available.
One of the reasons I went with the Amaze was due to the back of the phone. I actually think hardware wise it is one of the nicest phones out there.
Like others mentioned, battery life just depends how you use it. I get between 8-14 hours depending on my day. That is quite a few 20 minute or so phone calls, texting a good amount, web browsing, g-talk quite a bit and a little BT streaming of music and movies. Streaming of the music and movies will really suck it down quick though. I know someone else who has a black Amaze and.gets 5 hours, but he is always downloading movies and streaming music.
It really is a great phone and it does have a good camera, just have to have decent lighting for a good picture.
Might run into a couple small issues like light bleeding into the screen from the soft keys lighting up. There are a couple apps out there to shut them off. I believe the G-Nex suffers from the same exact thing. That and the flash bleeding when taking a pic. I personally have yet to have that happen though. Seems common enough though.
Good luck! There are some good peeps on this board and especially in the Amaze section.

There's a thread somewhere on here about it, but the gist of it is that the dual flash isn't confined/separated enough from the lens so sometimes you get some light bleed on the bottom (or however you hold your phone while taking a pic).
Supposedly you can fix it with a tiny piece of electrical tape, it basically mimics the effect of putting the dual flash in a housing unit (like the sensation has). I haven't noticed it enough yet to do that, but it does bug me that HTC produced this phone without fixing that...haha

The sad thing is is everyone will jump on board in a problem thread, but then again, those that are enjoying there new toy and have 0 issues won't post a thread just to say this is awesome.
With that being said, we are still within the first 2 weeks of launch, and only 2 days past the official launch date. The dev community is getting geared up, and there are still a lot of great dev's waiting to get their devices.

Evryone wants a perfect phone I been thru a lot release from the OG evo, to the 3d, iPhone 4s, and galaxy nexus, and man they all the same... Do you have dust under screen? Is your screen warm or blue? Do you see lines? Does your speaker does this?, people going over 3 iPhone or Evos and there still no happy, I seriously don't know if I'm just lucky or I really don't noticed anything cause I never had a problem like that, for example when the 3d came out they said the screen was tilted, I don't freaking now how much time you need to have to noticed that cause to me it was normal, or the "screengate" on the iPhone forums, idk man my phone is good best reception since og evo and talking and browsing the Web is amazing when you use it so I'm happy evo owner

Yet another useless thread...why oh why lord?!?
I know I shouldn't have even bothered with my useless reply...my apologies...
Mine would spontaneously reboot, maybe 5-10x in the first 24 hours I had it. Yes I did factory wipe. No I didn't restore any apps, root, or even install an SD card.
So I exchanged it, and this one seems solid, not a single reboot. I'm convinced there was something wrong with the first one.
With that being said, I love this phone.
I think I have a bum phone.
The stock browser disappears quite a bit. Text wrapping for the browser, gmail app and others isn't right. I have to swipe left and right to read.
Sense launcher has long reload times when exiting apps.
My screen is slightly protruded at the top right corner and the battery life for me yesterday off a full charge only lasted eight hours. Normal work day of checking emails, a few phone calls, browser look ups etc. No games or heavy use.
I'm going to exchange it as soon as I have time.
Stock not rooted or anything.
I miss the search button but have mostly got used to the dots.

MeanROM ICS heating up for ELTE

I heard through a pretty reliable source that MeanROM ICS is due out for the Evo 4G LTE within the next 24 hours. Possibly even a prelim version tonight. Just want to make sure everyone has a working F5 key.

Cant wait!! Glad you got the LTE!
That was my daily on my Evo3d. I even sold it to best buy running it. Cant wait!

I'm already convinced the non-removable battery isn't going to be a problem, at least for me. I've been doing nothing but flashing, rebooting, flashing, rebooting all day and by this time, my E3D would have been down below 50% after that much rebooting and flashing. This ELTE (I guess that's what we're calling it) is sitting at 92% right now! The radio seems more efficient too because after driving around for an hour after I got the phone yesterday (driving in fringe areas), that used to eat a minimum of 20% off my E3D battery. This thing dropped I think 4%.

I had been using meanrom on my 3d for the longest!! Can't wait to see it my evo 4g lte!!!!!!
Please i hope this isn't to much to ask for. Landscape rosie, remap menu to the recent app button, get raid of that black 3 dot menu bar on apps and I'm sure we'll have another hit.

Can't wait for some MeanROM action. If you do make it landscape please make a zip to disable it. Landscape and me aren't friends.

Make the remap optional though. I like having my buttons do what they are designed to do.
YOU SOB!!!! lol.
I have been debating between the GS3 and EVO for a while now and this all but sealed the deal for me. Even after sitting down with the GS3 for about an hour today.
Mikey are you with us buddy? How are ya?>

why is the non removable battery an issue for you? do you often use extended batteries on your old phone?
Duuuuuddeeee.... Mikey. So glad you decided to get the EVO LTE. I thought you had your mind set on the GS3?
Anyway.... I'm glad you pulled the trigger on the EVO LTE. I take it you didn't run into the hardware quality issues you were worried about?
