welcome, you're in luck cuz hasoon2000 just released an all in one tool that will help you unlock and install a custom recovery on your phone, and from there you can install any Amaze rom that suits your taste

unfortunately there's no s-off at the moment, so make sure you dont ask that question... lol other than that enjoy your awesome new phone!
New owner here as well. Loving the phone this far. Got it under the full rebate deal, so essentially free.
Loving the build qualities, resoulution is "amazing" , fast as can be, (Getting 17-20 download speeds and 4 upload! ) also love the camera!
Not a huge difference over my mytouch4G, but in the end it eventually is free!
Okay, it is better, lol!

Thanks guys! I'm still madly in love with my mt4g and have been for over a year now, but I figured it was time to give my baby a rest and try something new. So far, the amaze is a great phone, but I think I will always have a thing for my mytouch lol.
I'm a reader and a thinker but sometimes I get a little anxious, so if I miss something (aka ask a stupid question), don't be too hard on me! Lol. Looking forward to seeing this community grow and contributing what I can.
Now, who has the champagne to celebrate my arrival?
That's funny, I came from a mytouch4G, which I will still use from time to time. Just loved that phone as well.

certainly a great phone that still holds its own! i must say that i have NEVER had an issue with my mytouch, no cosmetic flaws, no nothing, just perfect! so far ive returned 1 sgs2, on my 2nd amaze in 2 days which will be getting returned tomorrow because of these 3 annoying light spots (looks like i have 7 cap keys! ugh!) under the cap keys (first had a dead pixel).
It's an awesome phone! When you get your replacement and want to root your phone, I updated my toolkit. Be sure to use it. It will make your life a lot easier

lol, yup saw your thread bro...i will certainly check it out when i get my replacement! say a prayer i finally get a decent unit! this phone has hella potential, and i would like to finally enjoy it lol
Use screen filter in the market. No root required. It shuts off the soft keys. It has made my life much easier.
I loved my mytouch as well, however like the Amaze better due to the screen, which trumps the mytouch4G.
Better luck with the replacement!

I walked in lastnight to buy my Note and the sales lady greeted me. We talked about the note for a bit, went to the display model and gave it a quick whirl and then I went through with placing the order for my upgrade.
I was there maybe 35 - 40 minutes and during that time, the same display model that I had used earlier, was stolen. They just left the back of the case attached to the security plug and took the body/battery.
There had to have been about 12 - 15 ATT store employees there and no one saw anything. Ofcourse they have video and the IMEI number so as soon as the phone is activated they can shut it down, but that was just incredible to me that someone had the balls to pull a stunt like that.
Drama aside, I'm loving the hell out of my white note! I'm 6-1, 225 coming from an Atrix and now that 4" screen looks like a toy. My wife is appalled at the size, but she's an ifangirl so... what can ya do lol
Haha, an ifangirl eh? Have to work on that man! I'm loving this phone too and I'm also coming from an Atrix. HUGE improvement. Recently converted the parents from their isheepism to the dark side of Android. Now the dad is rocking a Razr Maxx and the mom is using a Galaxy Nexus (they are on Verizon.) I think I did pretty good with that conversion! Lol. They are addicted to Android now, like I am.
That's unreal it was stolen while you were there. You made a killer phone choice, enjoy.

I've been trying to convert the boss lady, but she's quite happy being told how her phone should work lol.
I've converted my 2 brothers and their wives to Android though, all from iphones lol. I think I've done a fairly good job!
Yeah, the person who took the phone is on video and that IMEI is effectively a paperweight at this point. I hope it was worth it to the thief... I almost feel bad for that craig's list /ebay victim if they sell it that way.
Lol kind of dumb for them to attach it just by the back.

I can pop the back off with my CommuteMate DashGrip pad. That thing sticks so well I was using it to vertically mount the Note for the drive home back from BestBuy. I don't have any finger nails to pry off the back so I can use it if needed, lol.
Congrats on your Note purchase.

Yeah at my store in schaumburg, it happens literally once a month.... however, people are getting clever with it. This one guy stole an iPhone 4s but get this.... he replaced it with an iPhone 4!

And it I thought it was something exciting like you figured out how to get your Note to do dishes or something....
That is left feeling kinda no so much let down but kinda eyyyh about this handset. I've already promised my ET4G to my brother in-law and I think im going to regret it. I knew the GS3 wasnt that much of an upgrade going in to this but the camera seems funky and NFC well google wallets not working on the device :silly: I just feel kinda blah about it ..... and moving off files from the ET4G it seemed to fit better in my hand and I miss being able to change the saturation on the screen modes.
It'll get better with customs Roms to be honest not liking stock at all. I really hope AKOP comes out for this phone. Fingers crossed

Coming from the ET4G on MIUI I am feeling the same way. I could have easily waited. If you flash the new touchwiz on the SII you won't miss much. The only thing Im banking on is taking pics while you record. I'm not sure if that's a hardware perk or not. So far I'm trying to sell myself on the new device. We will see!

I only wish the TW calendar widgets were compatible with another launcher as they did a much better job on those than stock ICS. Business Calendar is a good enough replacement though.
Hmm I'm in love with this phone, maybe because I had the old, and kind of slow s3 processor in my T-Mobile s2, and a non HD screen

When AOKP and CM9 and various roms come out for this phone (which I have high hopes they will) the phone will feel rebirthed.
I enjoy it now, but I've never been a fan of TW or samsungs skins. Still though, it's a huge upgrade for me; Coming from a Nexus S.
Agree once Cm9 and others get going this phone will fly especially with the 2 GBs of ram

It's a big jump from my Nexus S 4G.

Just Flash It !!!
I had the s2 and I feel it is an upgrade. More ram, 1.5ghz, slightly larger screen, this radio has performed better than my s2, lte soon, and not that it matters much but when was the last time your s2 hit 5000 on quadrant while running stock. This phone also feels a lot smoother

I came from the Samsung Vibrant and this is a nice upgrade for me. Very excited. The first thing that went was TW. I'm running Nova launcher on mine. (it installed automatically as it got synced with my account).
The only thing that I am missing is the Ubuntu for Android. I wonder if CM team will look into implementing it with some of their builds. That would be sweet!

Its been nice knowing you guys. I was very excited for this phone. I was one of the many who cursed apple for delaying my pre-order and checking these forums constantly for any rumor of the awaited release. I had to return my first one after a week due to a few issues but have been very happy with my evo since. Aside from some LTE connection issues, the power button on my phone decided to crap out. Thankfully since i am running mean rom, the camera button does wake the phone so i am able to use it for the time being. Because of the 4g lte issues and the fact that i would like to take out my battery at will, i am going to request that I get a GS3 as a replacement. Its been nice knowing you all.
good bye and have fun.

When i seen my 64 year old mother with the GS3 i just had to rule it out as ever being an option.

I'm considering buying this device, and I was wondering what people think of it, how the development is, and last but not least, how hard is it getting used to the size. I've played around with it for a little bit, but $300 is a little hard to swallow for something I'm unsure of. I appreciate any opinions... BTW I looked for a general talk thread before I posted here
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I haven't read many complaints at all. I didn't have to get use to the size, it was nice right away.
Look in the development sections, it was rooted 2 or 3 days after release and the bootloader was unlocked a week later.
There are at least 5 or 6 ROMs out for it at the moment.
I have owned about 12 android phones since the OG DROID.... This is easily the best phone I have ever owned. The size feels normal now... Doesn't feel big at all. I could never go to a smaller screen now. This phone is stupid fast too.... All around awesome
Sent from my most awesome phone EVER!!!!
i have to say this is my best upgrade since going from the curve to the original droid. Ive had the droid x, thunderbolt, charge, and gs3, but this is just another world of usefulness. I havent turned my tablet on since getting it.
I have owned practically every Motorola android phone. This is my first Samsung. I am thoroughly impressed. It's absolutely awesome. At this point it would take me a lot to go back to Motorola - or a smaller phone. I love the size of it. It has almost replaced both my tablets. I would highly recommend it.
Sent from my Note 2 using xda premium
Best phone I've owned, I'm 6'5 so the size makes no issue to me. I feel funny holding any other device now. Don't forsee myself ever owning anything smaller. On the other hand, rumors of the n3 being 6.3in are crazy? This device is sized perfectly.
I was also able to haggle with Verizon down to $250, tell them you know a manager in another territory that can ship you phone on discount but you don't wanna wait, tell them you want to walk out with it today (when you go in). Discount is around $60 from a territory manager I know...
Good luck!

No regrets at all I was scared to jump on it but after having the phone for a little while it's amazing.
I think you'll have more trouble getting used to the size of any phone other than this one once you've used it. After one day with this phone I don't imagine I could ever use a smaller phone again. As for development, considering how new it is, it's pretty impressive. We have a few TouchWiz and AOSP roms already. I thought 300 was outrageous at first (considering all other high-end phones are about 200) but considering the amount of phone (feature-wise and physically) it is pretty reasonable. Just go for it. I am (almost) willing to personally guarantee you'll love it.

I just got this phone yesterday. I paid full retail price for it. I thought I would be disappointed, however I love it. I have had the OG droid, the Galaxy nexus, Droid bionic, HTC rezound... and now this. The OG droid was my favorite before this. All the phones in between were pretty bogus, none of them met my expectations. This phone is a massive leap in hardware and software compared to all the others.
You ask that question on this forum.. what results are you excepting? If people are here, they are fans of the device.
As for me, it's awesome. I got my teenage son one too, he is ecstatic.
I couldn't decide and finally just said **** it since Verizon extended the return period. So far I'm very happy. Came from a Galaxy Nexus...

im in the same boat , bought off contract to keep unlimited data. In coming from a gnexus I will say that I love love love the hardware but I hate the software. I've become such a CM fanboy that i think im just jaded to sloppy looking touchwiz and carrier bloat. ill be in heaven once some official cm nightlies start rolling out. for now the jelly beans rom and nova have hidden a lot of the touchwiz bs but theres still a lot to remove to be back to normal. I have to also add that im very impressed with the battery life of this thing.
I paid the full price for and I hate paying full price for anything and it was worth it. You part of the club yet?
