Hey just came from an EVO to THUNDERBOLT was wondering after i root will i be able to enable and disable the 4G LTE on my ThUNDERBOLT or if this another way to do it ?
You can do it before or after root.

does turning off 4G really save that much battery. The first day using my ThunderBolt I thought the battery drained pretty fast. Came home after 8 hours, minimal use at work, talked a bit and battery got down to 25%. I did a factory reset (my reasons) and removed Advanced Task Killer and today my battery was 50% after work (talked for a hour) and minimal use at work (no games, no internet). Honestly I thought it actually behaved like my Evo (rooted). Will most likely get the extended battery still, but really didnt notice the battery issues today.
Hopefully will root soon. Remove the bloatware.

and yes it does save alot of battery 4g kills the battery life on this phone same as it did on the evo then again i didnt use 4g that much to begin with so it never really effected me but not being able to turn it off out of the box was just stupid on verizons part along with the retarded about of bloatware it came with and i will also be rooted soon

I agree but they might of wanted to stay away from the 4g switch temporarily because of all the trouble the EVO had in the beginning from the switch draining the battery, just a theory I believe.
A coworker just bought a Rezound and has been getting really great battery life. Over 24hours with 40% remaining (with light usage, he is new to Android). This blows my mind because I've forgotten to unplug my phone overnight and saw it run down 5% an hour with the screen off.
I checked to see if they snuck a software update but he is running the same 1.02.605.6 as I. But my PRL is 15088 and his is 15098.
How do you update PRL?
Also, what is your PRL?
Mine is also 15088.

At Verizon Tech Support they can push the newest eprl and re provision your SIM from their end but there isn't a way an end user can really request an EPRL update as it's supposed to happen periodically when it's necessary. That being said, 15098 is definitely the latest for 4G smartphones and if the server has setup the push to your MDN then pull your battery and SIM out for approx 1 minute and re-power it all back up, walk away from the phone for about 5 minutes and then check it to see if it updated.

Just did precisely that, and it is still 15088. Powered off, Removed SIM and batt for 2 mins. Powered back up, waited 10 mins. Still 15088
I'm sure this isn't a huge deal since 4G is very strong in my area, but it could be something to do with how it is provisioned on their end. I also have the problem with 4G continually dropping out while Mobile Hotspot is turned on.

what that means is that your line hasn't received the push/flag for the EPRL update...if it really bothered you, call them and ask them to push the EPRL and I'm sure they can facilitate it, just make sure you don't call from your phone and make sure it's OFF when they do the push

Yea, I wouldn't bother, if you were somewhere it mattered the only negative impact would be that you just wouldn't get new 4G data towers since that EPRL was released, which was in early December.

Got bored at lunch and called to have them push the PRL and they said they cannot. He said they roll out in batches and would eventually get to mine.
I will have to say, I thought I was also getting better battery life and wasn't quite sure why??? I just checked and I am on prl 15098, not sure if thats part of it but I am def getting better battery life.
I'm on PRL 15061. I purchased my phone a week after release. I have no data problems what so ever.

You're fine, probably on an Alltel plan.
If you're worried about battery life i'd suggest a new kernel w/ some undervolting and underclocking. My phone has been on 38 hours and I have 28% left.

If I wanted a 1GHz phone I would have kept my hTC EVO
And I use my phone. A lot. I will never have more than 12 hrs on a battery because it doesn't sit in my pocket for very long.
I am curious to see if there is any correlation between PRL 15098 and improved battery life.

My understanding of a custom kernel underclocking is that it only does it when the phone is in an unused state then when you're actively using the phone the overclocking takes effect and then you'll be running at 1.83GHz. Plus, the EVO isn't dual core is it?

I understand the benefits of overclocking and underclocking, and there is always a compromise. A topic entirely outside the scope of this thread.
I've been on the G2x since about when it came out (horrible decision...) I've made that phone mostly usable to me but because of nVidia, the devs are always going to be stuck with no drivers for Tegra.
I see I can get the Amaze for free right now at T-Mo. Is it worth it? I know it doesn't have ICS yet but I assume that's coming (there's a certain update to ICS exchange support that makes it a very important update for me so I can get my work email)
Battery life on the G2x has always been pretty miserable for me too. I got that phone way too early and there wasn't enough people using it to really research it at the time. I'm hoping to avoid that mistake with whatever my next phone is.
1- The Amaze does have ICS, in fact, you wont find a GB Rom in the front page of development
2- Amaze battery Life is amazing for me
3- gdfgsdgrgregesrgersgsg??!?!?!
4-Search before posting?
5- a squirrel??
The Amaze does have ICS with Sense 3.6
The phone might look free but they will charge you the extra $15-$20 a month on your bill for the phone.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great phone and since we got the ICS leak its been even better. But with other phones releasing around the corner it might be a wise choice to wait for different options. But I'm not saying that the new phones will be better just saying wait till you find out what you really want.

I know about the ICS leak but that's not official yet And I love rooting my phones...but I've been using my G2x for a year so I'm quite acquainted with all my options. It will always take a while to figure out what ROMs are good for me (personally) or not on any given phone. I've been bitten by too many 'promised' official releases that never happened to never assume.
I'll do a little more research on this one but maybe I'll keep waiting. If I can make it until Google releases all their phones...

If u are an xda/rom junky, stay away from the Amaze. The devs we have are all we've had and are all we will ever have. And the noobs are atrocious. Stay clear man.

True the phone itself I can easily say is my favorite! I've owned 8 android phones. All rooted and custom rommed of course. Its sexy, great camera, great build quality, fast&stable. HUGE cons are the battery life and the dev support.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
To be honest, I think the Amaze is so-so. I've been fortunate enough to have tried quite a few phones and the Amaze hasn't done a great job standing out.
The biggest problem with this phone is that the battery life is beyond terrible - worse than any phone I've had in the past. I mainly use my phone (or any of my smartphones for that matter) to respond to business emails and texts. My phone doesn't even last half of the day without needing a full recharge.
I had a G2X and although I wasn't too fond of its build quality (especially how the screen is not completely flat), I would suggest that you stick with it. There aren't too many improvements (in my opinion) that justifies the jump.

I'm very happy that i got the Amaze when i did but back then there was little to no Dev on it,but in the past month or so since S-OFF & the ICS "leak" there's been a ton of Development for it,I'm loving SpeedROM which is blazing fast & has great battery life.I came from a Sensation(which i still have but am looking to sell),the Sensation has a shiat ton of ROMs but they're all the same basically.The Amaze has a beast of a camera,is blazing fast with both cores running & Sense 3.6 is the icing on the cake,i just can't wait for Sense 4.0.
So...In my opinion the HTC Amaze is a GREAT phone(build quality is superb).If i were to add another line I'd grab another one ;-)

I agree with everything except booming development... There are less than 10 devs and not much variety to choose from. Not to mention, they're all the same devs we had with gingerbread.
Don't get me wrong, they make solid stable roms, but quantity is not the case. Check other, global market phones dev sections

Yeah it's so weird. Some people are reporting excellent battery life and others are reporting poor battery life. If it helps, I'm using the stock ROM on 2.3.4 (HTC Sense 3.0). I'm getting a replacement this Friday since the speaker randomly pops when listening to music and using the buttons on the bottom. Hopefully the phone lasts longer than this one or else I'm going to have to get a replacement battery. If none of those fix the problem, time to fire up the old MyTouch.

First off you are incorrect, that was a classic plan price, not value. Value is only sold online currently as SIM only service, phone and EIP are not given online.
regardless, the free Amaze is over and its back to $150
So what are you looking for? I've used an S2, Sensation, HD2, Vibrant, and Amaze within the past 18 months. Here are my pros/cons of my Amaze experience.
Pros:
Stable - few reboots
Best of breed camera
Build is solid
HTC mail app is better than some Android skins
Good form factor - big enough, but not too big
Resilient screen - seems more scratch-resistant than some others
Dedicated camera/camcorder buttons
Impressive data speeds
Cons:
Original battery started to occasionally lose sync with OS (which resulted in $8 to Carrier in exchange for backup battery)
Low Development on XDA
Light bleed from softkeys
NFC doesn't seem to work as advertised
Since getting the Amaze, my priorities have shifted from constant theming and modding to other things because of the lack of development and (until recently) impossibility of S-off. Now I've come to appreciate being able to effortlessly RMA my phone if necessary, and while waiting for ICS was occasionally difficult, Tmo anounced its availability in 5 days. I expect battery life to increase, latency to decrease with dual-core utilization, hopefully usefulness added to the NFC capability. But as mentioned before, if you need Roms enjoy your phone, look elsewhere.

Lol maybe u took me the wrong way. People with great battery life use aftermarket batteries and apps like juice defender. Some of them may also exaggerate their usage. Bottom line doesn't change.
With stock OEM battery, no juice defender, AND you use your phone, you ABSOLUTELY have ****ty battery life. It's simple. Not weird.
Also, some people use more widgets than others, more sync options, notification options... This isn't rocket science
Also, tapatalk is the biggest battery hog ever.

I've noticed with ICS that if I accidentally leave my 4g on, it does not kill my battery like it did using GB. For battery life, it has traditionally been Wifi is best, 3g is second, and 4g is a battery killer, but now I am not so sure. I am not around 4g enough to test it, but if you are, that would be a great experiment. If you do it, please report back as inquiring minds want to know.

I've seen a couple posts saying Meanrom ics is killing battery pretty quickly. It may, I haven't updated the past 2 versions... But in one of the latest versions, he's did post less emphasis on battery savings and more on power. I'm on an earlier version and get great battery life.

Screen off time on ICS is substantially better than screen off time on GB (like 1% drain every 3 hours). Screen on time seems to be worse. In the end, I get through the entire day using MeanROM ICS with about 50% battery left (today: 13.5 hours off charger with 1.5 hours screen on time). So, it is not quite as good as GB, but since I recharge every night anyway and I love ICS's interface and features, I stick with it. I am going to flash ZR3dX tonight to see what the new version is about though.

Motorola aiming to upgrade all possible devices to Jelly Bean, promises to give you $100 credit if it can't
http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/motorola-jelly-bean-upgrades/
That's actually pretty interesting.
Thinking about it a bit it seems to work out in Moto's favor quite a bit. They'll update their newest phones and the people who are using their older phones will have incentive to get a newer model and thus give them more money.
HTC could do something like this.
I don't know that I'd buy another motorola, don't get me wrong, I love the phones, but the locked bootloader and slowness of updates kinda kills it for me. They're probably doing this to keep business from going elsewhere due to these problems.

Not exactly the same. If they failed to upgrade I wouldnt want to buy another phone they'll fail with
thats not exactly hard to do since they have the line in there all "new and currently selling devices..."....doesn't cover stuff sold 1yr ago...so in that case HTC could easily cover this as the ONE series as a whole should be able to get it....ie they could say it and NOT upgrade the EVO3D and not have to pay 100bux as the evo3d isn't being sold anymore brand new since its EOL at sprint...
I'd take a HTC running ICS over moto running JB any day of the week!
Can't stand the subpar display moto uses.
Slightly off topic but HTC should have hired Steve Kondik
Got stuck with a permalock bootloader on the photon and complained until I got an early upgrade to this phone. Plus they promised ics for the phone right outta the gate and peeps will be lucky to get it before 2013. I will not buy moto again, no way no how.

That's funny. I just today found out he works for Samsung. I'm SURE some of his ideas make it into their SW.

I'm sure they just handed the source over and said fix it lmao

This I want to be hopeful that things will change but then I remember Google is add always good ideas just don't always follow through or it isn't time for it yet.

HTC should do the same AS WELL AS make it mandatory that all their phones have removable batteries AND make them last all day because NONE of the current crop of phones has a battery that can last 24 hours. All the screen shots that show that much time are from people that don't really use the phone much at all.
Also a micro sd in addition to internal storage should have been mandatory

i managed 2 1/2 days mediium use and almost 3 days with light to no use, using it hardcore on 3g for hours on end i managed 5 before i started running the battery down (using phone while charging) and even now that i definitely know ive shortened the battery life i can still manage 2.75 hours non stop hardcore use on 3g, when i switch to wifi this phone becomes the terminator and refuses to die lol if only i got that kind of use on cm, but hey its a nightly and these last 2 update are very close to my normal life, pretty soon they will surpass it

Over a day with over 3 hours of screen on time which included video streaming is pretty damn impressive considering how I was using a high brightness setting and how big the screen on this phone is.
You're expecting too much without showing any understanding of why it isn't easy to get a high end phone to last all day. It has high powered components that draw more power, as well as a bigger screen than most phones on the market. What we get from it is impressive and it isn't going to dramatically improve anytime soon, unless they start to include DROID RAZR MAXX sized batteries, which I doubt will happen soon.

I don't think i expect too much, just a battery that can last 24 hours with normal usage.
I couldn't even get 24 hours out of the raxr maxx although it came the closest.
Basically you're saying you get over a day while only using the phone for 3 hours. On a work day I'll do 4 hours just to and from work, then time during lunch and sporadic phone checks during the day and after so many hours of use, phone dies.
My galaxy s 3 had gotten me 17 hours once, but the phone was just sitting there for the most part.
I tested the standby time and just let it drain and got 3 days it of it, would have been more of i didn't send that text lol
I just want a better battery

You're getting stuck on the concept that you're only "using" your phone for as long as the screen is on. Even when the screen is off, it's doing a lot of work.
With current battery technology paired with high powered phones, you just aren't going to get that full day with a ton of screen on use that you want. We all want that. It's just not really possible right now.
