I was playing music in my car via aux out using stock music player and all was going well...then my mother wanted to check email while I was driving....when she picked up, voice dialing started wdf? Screen was off too lol...then I resumed music and gave her the phone back. Then the music started skipping music after playing a song for 1 sec (went through abollbout 7 songs in 10 seconds.) Then music player stopped and wouldn't let me resume so I was like what the eff. Then, someone called and I answered...i could hear them but they couldn't hear me until I unplugged my aux out. This wasn't an issue with any of my previous phones...oh and how the hell do you disable longpress search for voice dialing? Ffs

This happened to me this morning. Had it in my pocket walking to the bus and the music stops. I go unlock and it see that the voice search thing activated. I just held it in my hand and it was fine. Didnt happen again after that though.

I just had two random reboots, just looking through xda. My keyboard has been a major issue. I grey random locks on my phone. I think I got a dud right along with you. But I will be going back to the store I purchased it from for a new one. I don't expect it to be flawless but I do expect it to work when I choose to use it.

If I exchange mine for a functional one does that count my one time switch? (If I decided to not keep the 3d and would it renew my 30 trial)?
P.s. I bought mine as upgrade from Bestbuy.

OP simple answer.
The cap buttons are over sensitive, she hit the search key. I can actually wear gloves and use the screen on this phone. I've not had any other phone I could do that with.

That was the first problem but then the music player kept skipping songs and I had to reboot to fix the widget (it only had pause, wouldnt switch to play)

It has to do with the Jack. The jack supports in line remotes, and if the input touches one of those connections, it changes the song. Another thread on this had an app that would fix it.

I've had the same problem but with other programs. I fun subsonic and occasionally more than once google music starts playing music as well
I've cleared the app cache and a few other things but it kept happening. so I un- installed google music and do far it hasn't happened but it did happen with the stock music program before I took the updates.
worth mentioning as well use that some times the screen turns itself on when I'm playing music, and when I turn the phone on sometimes its trying to total someone! good thing it asks me if I want to use google voice to make the call!

What the heck is in line remote?? I had it plugged up to my car stereo. Does that mean I can change the song through my stereo buttons or did I misunderstand you? P.S. How do I use my phone as a phone through my car stereos (via aux cable)?
Pretty sure issues like this aren't related to your actual device. Way to many people return their phone for issues that are not directly related to the device and can happen on every single one of them.
Just because it doesn't happen to everyone doesn't mean it can't. If someone's phone locks up a few times or reboots, it doesn't mean you have a defective phone. It usually has something to do with software and items that are running or processes that are taking place at that exact time to cause the issue. It is not caused because you have a defective phone.
Sure, maybe some complaints can be related to the actual device but I am betting most are not and people just over react and think they have a defective device.
I think the Evo 3d will need a few more updates to really make it all around stable.
This is my problem, I uploaded a vid about it...
EDIT: I think my Aux output is bad...tried 3 different male to male aux cables and all produced the same bugs.
EDIT2: Just noticed this doesn't happen with Pandora, only the stock music app...wth?! lol!
EDIT3: Noticed that I have a little headset with microphone icon at the time I did this, could that be the cause?
EDIT4: Got yet another app running in the background. Installed Headset blocker. Hope this one works and autostarts upon reboot.
Mine has this problem as well, but it is only with certain speaker connections (the computer speakers at my work make the thing search, then skip, then they call my brother.) I am going to try that program out, it looks to me like the connector is hitting something inside the phone causing the thing to freak out.
This happened to me also, only happens when I plug headphones or anything in the headset jack...my evo 3d goes insanely nuts.

Hello.
The other day I was listening to music and I remembered my old phone, an SE W760 that had lights to the beat of the music.
I thought I could do something for him to take the sound of music through the microphone and move the flash at the same rate.
I'd like to make this possible in our phones, but I have enough of Know-how to do it, I ask your help.
Sorry for my bad English.

Im sorry i put you down. im also a fan of android and thats the reason why i jumped from my W705i to this x10 mini pro.
well, it is just odd because you dont have other lights other than the camera light and the LED lights on the top of the phone.
i remember some people used to use the LED's to do a dancing light technique like thing when using the walkman. and it was for some models that supported.
like for the A200 platform we used to change the .xml file values and lights come and go like a wave when in a incoming call, including the display.
Those where like centuries ago after Android came in. looks like i forgot but have memories of it when i think of as im writing.
If anyone have idea about the matter they can help you.
Good day!
It is a good idea with the lights and flashled notifications.
Apology accepted.

Hi everyone, I just got my HTC Amaze yesterday from Mobilicity. I came from an Evo 3d, so this isn't much of an upgrade but I'm enjoying my new phone so far!
However, one little thing is bugging me. There seems to be a pinhole in the side of the phone and it's apparent when the capacitive lights are on. I can see the light leaking through. Pics attached.
Is that a manufacturer's defect? Or is it typical?
I'm still within the timeframe for a refund/exchange, so just seeing if it's worth exchanging my phone...
EDIT: Apologies for any confusion. I meant the small pinhole of light on the edge of my device. I've updated pics to emphasize the part I'm referring to. The screen bleed isn't a huge issue for me, just that little pinhole of light that annoys me.

Only light leak I get is the buttons leaking onto the screen, but it's no anything bothersome, only shows on dark backgrounds, you should get it exchanged if possible.
^ thanks, yea i read about the light bleed at the bottom and I have some of that too. Doesn't bother me. But that pinhole really does! Will try to get it exchanged. Gotta work on relocking bootloader and unrooting then.

You can exchange all you want but you will still have the leak. I have one same area as yours on two devices and vote showing leaks in upper right and bottom right. To be honest it's really not that bad though. Phone has good power so I tend to let the leak not bother me

If you use speedrom by eclipsremix the tweaks in the settings menu have an option to turn off the bottom button lights which will get rid of the bleed. At first it is a little ruff getting use to not being able to see them real well but after a day or two you get used to where the buttons are and you won't miss the lights at all. And actually it may be in the energy rom also bit I'm not 100% on that. But definitly works on speedrom. It's a great rom too especially if you like aosp. Very fast smooth and very nicely themed

This leak isn't the fault of the buttons but the screen itself escaping at the side for some odd reason.

Yes I saw that in the pic you posted but there is also bleed from the bottom buttons. If I were you I would try to get it replaced and when you do then you can turn off the bottom lights to prevent bleeding on the new phone.

I unlocked my bootloader via HTCdev however. If I relock it now it'll show "relocked" (as per other threads)... will they refuse to exchange my device because of that? I think not because they're unrelated.. any thoughts?

If they're anything like t-mobile, they wouldn't check or care, since the device is gonna be refurbished and sent back as a replacement to any customer with device issues.
Was recording Ron Paul at an event and accidentally pressed the top button. Lo and behold it quit the camera app and I instantly lost 20+ minutes of footage. Way to go HTC!

Why would you be pressing buttons when you're recording stuff? I think that having things turn off when you press the power button is a good thing...isn't that the idea behind it?
Pressing the wrong buttons is not a manufacturer's problem -- they didn't hide the button, it's not a secret. That's one of those PEBDAU (Problem Exists Between Device and User -- sue me, I can't think while at work). Sucks that you lost footage on Ron Paul though.
As I already stated in the OP, it was accidental. A friendly warning "are you sure you want to close this while recording?" would have been nice... or just save the footage and then close. Instead, it closed abruptly and without warning and happily discarded the last 20 minutes of footage. Not cool!

Highlighted in red. You made a user error, and you're blaming it on the phone manufacturer.
That's like driving a car, and you want to stop, but instead of the brake, you hit the gas, and then get upset at your car manufacturer.
That's like eating a sandwich, and you want to take a bite, but instead of putting it in your mouth, you shove it up your nose, and blaming your body for not chewing it.
That's like walking down the sidewalk, and you want to cross the street, but instead of turning left, you turn right, and blaming the people who laid the street.
I understand that it sucks, as I mentioned before -- unless the manufacturer does something completely opposite of how it's normally done (i.e. car maker switches gas and brake pedals / you eat through your nose / left becomes right) then don't get on them for it. Not their fault any way that you try to explain it. It should read something like this:

They've pretty much always put their power button at the top. It's a popular place to put a power button. Not every phone does it, but the majority do.

Crazy thing happened to me too, I was watching tv today and accidentally pressed the power button and my tv turned off. Sorry, couldn't resist, but the reason you lost your footage is because the camera app does not save your video to the sdcard until you press the stop recording button. So when you accidentally hit the power button all of the footage that was in the video cache was lost. I don't know if it would behave differently if you set you camera up for internal memory instead.

Your car analogy doesn't quite apply. It would be more like accidentally kicking it into reverse while driving on the freeway. The car should realize that's not an intended function while driving 80mph forward and not allow it. News flash, it does just that! Furthermore, the top button is not exclusively used to power off the phone. Even when you do want to power off the phone, it gives you a warning! It doesn't just instantly power itself off. So why should it be any different when doing other crucial tasks such as recording video (say in a more dire situation, evidence for use in court or something)?

I think you are on to something that is a simple oversight by HTC. But more importantly why bother telling us your at a Ron Paul event. People not being sympathetic to your ineptitude is one thing, and trust me I can relate. However being a Ron Paul supporter may put a bigger target on your back than you just being silly with a smarty phone.

It applies fine -- the power button did it's function as it was designed to do. A quick tap closes the app or puts the phone to hibernate/sleep/whatever. A long hold gives the prompt to turn of the phone, reboot, etc. It's a power button -- that's what it does. if you pressed the power button and it started dialing someone, then I'd agree with you. If you pressed the power button and it turned the volume all the way up or down, then yeah, that'd be a problem. But it did what it's supposed to. You were the boob that pushed it, even if it was by accident. You threw the car into reverse (which you can do, but you shouldn't!) while you were driving 80mph down the road. The problem is not HTC, it's you. You were the one who used it inadvertently, and dun goofed up. I don't have that problem, and lots of people don't have that problem. There are plenty of times that I went to reboot the phone and then realized I didn't want to -- why can't I undo the reboot command? How about when they updated my phone at the store when I bought it, and it is now at hboot 1.15? why can't I undo that? Because it's not designed to allow for it. That's the way it works. Maybe the app should consider it's users before it allows you to use it, have you do some practice stuff first, so you can painstakingly learn how to keep your fingers away from the buttons. If your finger/thumb got in the way of the lense, would you be upset at HTC because the lense caught your finger? No. No, you wouldn't. Because you put your finger there, you did everything, it is and always will be your fault.

Make a camera app and figure in all the stupid things people do, then make the options to undo them. You won't win that battle, because they're always someone who will do something stupid.

Hey now. I like Ron Paul.
That being said, it's not an oversight, unless you think someone can figure all of the ways that things can be messed up. I want my phone to float and gently land on the ground if I drop it, but they don't have that. I want to not misdial numbers that I've called before, and I don't want my Spotify to play a song that sucks in the Radio option.
You're going just *a little* to far I think. I agree with you in general, this isn't an issue, a button was mispressed at an inopportune moment, and the consequences sucked.
With that being said, I'm sure it's not too much for HTC or android to prompt when in video mode recording and the power button is hit to show a prompt. Especially if it's not going to be saved.
Going in the opposite direction of your examples: wouldn't a more accurate comparison be anytime, on every OS ever, if you try to delete a file you're prompted with "are you sure you want to delete this file?" That's there to catch mistakes. If we never made mistakes, they'd never have to build that prompt into virtually EVERY operating system. And in essence, when you hit the power button while recording, you're deleting that video. From a technical standpoint, it's not saved, I know, just cached, but close enough.
Again, I do, in general, agree. But no reason to get so extreme explaining why the OP is a "boob"
With that being said, OP, you ARE a boob. Jk. I look at this post as more an fyi, but wouldn't consider this any sort of defect.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
If you're writing something up in Microsoft Word, and you turn your computer off, unless it autosaved (which it only does when you don't need it!!!) you're the boob that pushed the power button on the computer. Plenty of times that I've saved a file that was in the temp folder originally, and then when I went to open what I thought was the right file, none of my changes were there. I was the boob that didn't pay attention. Boob is not a horrible term -- stuff happens. We all do stupid things. I don't, however, hold Asus responsible for my goofs.
If I save a file on my USB drive and then I pull the drive out before it's done, that's my fault. It'd be great if it said something like "looks like you dun goofed, friend! Please insert the drive to try again!", but it doesn't. The file either ends up being corrupt or not there at all.
Just a minute ago, I was changing some groups on my work messaging Jabber client, and I goofed something. I did something to it that it's not supposed to do, and now I suffer the consequences of my actions. I take responsibility for my actions.
If there were a way to circumvent screw-ups (which we all do!!) then the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, there isn't a real "easy" button, or a "rewind life" button. You can't give for every situation, and when you start compensating for one person's screwup and not another, you end up having massive, unneeded bloat.
Do you really need text on your coffee cup to tell you that the hot cup of coffee you ordered is hot?
Do you really need a bottle of poison to have a warning label in small print that no one but an older child/adult can read tell you that it's bad for you to drink it?
I'll tell you something -- I learn from my screwups. Grab a burner while it's flaming hot, you can guarantee that I won't touch it again. If it automatically turned off when human skin comes close to it, that would be freakin' awesome, and the technology is available (with a few modifications), but they don't make stoves that way. Sucks, but that's the world.
And yes, it is a bit far, but...I didn't start off that way. If you want something to work that specific way, then sure, make it work. But I don't want extra weight on my app. I don't hit the button, and if I do by accident, then it's on me.

You're going just *a little* to far I think. I agree with you in general, this isn't an issue, a button was mispressed at an inopportune moment, and the consequences sucked.
With that being said, I'm sure it's not too much for HTC or android to prompt when in video mode recording and the power button is hit to show a prompt. Especially if it's not going to be saved.
Going in the opposite direction of your examples: wouldn't a more accurate comparison be anytime, on every OS ever, if you try to delete a file you're prompted with "are you sure you want to delete this file?" That's there to catch mistakes. If we never made mistakes, they'd never have to build that prompt into virtually EVERY operating system. And in essence, when you hit the power button while recording, you're deleting that video. From a technical standpoint, it's not saved, I know, just cached, but close enough.
Again, I do, in general, agree. But no reason to get so extreme explaining why the OP is a "boob"
With that being said, OP, you ARE a boob. Jk. I look at this post as more an fyi, but wouldn't consider this any sort of defect.

If I have something not saved in Word open, and go to turn off the computer, as Windows is shutting everything down it will prompt if I want to close Word without saving my changes.
And just like you learn from your mistakes, we'll all learn from the OPs mistake, bc he gave us all a warning.
I don't see why asking for a prompt is that big of a deal.
And I don't find the term boob offensive at all, but it's definitely not a compliment.

I can see the reason for wanting a warning message about closing when you power off in the middle of using the camera. That said, I have an actual camcorder; a dedicated device for taking video. It has an On/Off button. If I press that button the camcorder powers off. It appears to work as designed.
E: To clarify, it does this regardless of whether I'm recording at the time. There is an understood assumption that I knew that I was pressing the On/Off button. I have yet to lose footage due to this.
Go Ron Paul! The other choices aren't great, Obama has already proven it and Romney you can just tell

Maybe something wrong with my phone but, I just tested video recording something then pressed my power button and it recorded up to the point of power off. I'm rooted Rejuvenated ROM so maybe that's the difference.

Hahaha I just tried this too, and mine was saved as well. And I'm definitely saving to my storage card.

I was walking in to the kitchen and smashed my pinky toe on one of the legs of the table chairs... DAMN YOU IKEA FOR NOT MAKING THE LEGS OF THE CHAIRS A TINY BIT SMALLER.
I also went to grab the my bottle of water off of the desk next to my computer but forgot my headphones were on. well they got ripped off my head because i ran out of cord...i ended up ripping the usb plug out of the usb port and now the headphones dont work any more... DAMN YOU TURTLE BEACH! YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE THE CABLE LONGER!
I need an extra push, I'm hoping to find it here.
I'm coming from a Galaxy S2. There are two things I will have to live without, can anyone tell me if I should be worried?
1. The lack of a menu and search button.
2. Not having the ability to take out the battery.
On another note, I was wondering if someone could confirm if it's possible to remove the HTC Sense? The first thing I plan on doing is rooting it and removing basically any software HTC and AT&T add. One other question.. does anyone know if the IR can be setup to use custom commands, or if that's something we have to wait for developers?
I don't have much to add on here except the search button is so two years ago. No need to have that button there with the advent of long pressing and double tapping.

The one is probably awesome, but since you have a s2,you might check out the s4

Most people that cry about batteries are usually closet Samsung fanboys. The ability to "take out the battery" is a bit overrated. Sorry but I don't have any need to add a brick to the back of my phone just so I can show off some "amazing battery stats"

Actually it's nice to have a search button where if I'm in the app drawer I can tap that and search for an app. Or if I'm on the home screen it opens google now. Or on a browser, it's a quick search button. You get the idea. What's the alternative now? How do you open Google Now or search for apps quickly?

I hate the way the S4 looks, and the S3. The huge rounded corners are a big turn off. I would end up getting that if I can't put up with the limitations the one has to offer.

Actually, I don't care about that.. I can optimize android to get what I need out of it. But I do like the ability to replace it if it dies or degrades in performance in a year from now, or say.. my phone is frozen, taking out the battery is often the fastest way to turn the damn thing off. Most of my stuff is in the cloud now, so I don't see me needing to replace my SD card. But it has occationally come in handy when I want to just pop it into my laptop to transfer some large files. I'm going to miss that.
I'm usually a Samsung guy but the one is amazing. We complain about the battery being no good over time and needing the ability to swap out. However, we get the next best thing after a year or so of use then sell the current device. The one is good. I haven't even rooted yet. I can wait until we get a stock RUU.

If I have any issues with the battery I am calling Squaretrade and getting a replacement. That's the great thing about having insurance even though I am not even sure If I will be using this device for the full 2 years. Also, if you hold the power button down for 10 seconds its just like pulling the battery, but much faster.
I came from having a Galaxy SIII on Verizon, switched to ATT with a Galaxy SII Skyrocket and am now a happy camper with my One. The biggest hurdle was getting over not having the same capacitive buttons and how much faster the One is.
By no means am I a heavy user but I am sitting here with 60% battery going on just over 8 hours.
Lol I love being to put a beastly 7000 mah battery in my phone to get 3 days of battery. But if I can't, it isn't that big of a deal. Btw I'm not a Samsung fan boy, I'm a fan of whatever is the best.

On a custom rom you can map the other buttons to do a menu and maybe even a search (I'm not sure)
Holding power+vol up and down simulates pulling the battery
Right now there is not a way to remove sense, you can use 3rd party launchers for now. They are working on pure android ROMs and development will be GREAT on this device. I have owned a S2 and played with the One and the One is SWEET. (I'm still waiting for my black to arrive). I have a HTC One XL and think it is MUCH better than my S2. Just get it, You will love it. Or wait for development to grow a little to give you all those features
