Would you do this trade someone offered me for my note, I'm just thinking of doing it while a good 4g mod is found for us tmobile users, so I got offered a 32 gig transformer prime and a HTC amaze for an even trade is it worth it.while I wait? If u guys can give me.some feed back I'd really appreciated. TIA

Yes its a good trade. I would do it instantly. The guy offering is losing a lot.

I really don't want to leave but my data speeds suck on tmobile I'm paying for something I'm pretty much not using, I seen people have good luck getting good speeds I just haven't found it and I've tried every combo modem and rom with scrip and no scrip idk if it's a good deal ill do it then if anything ill just sell and come back when something is found, doesn't seem like anyone wants to try figuring out the 4g issue and I'm in no way capable of playing with anything code wise haha I wouldn't know what to do hahaha

I tried every combo also but kept getting dropped calls. Went back to stock and used Edge, got good signal plus no dropped calls but of course slow speeds. Finally signed up with Straight Talk with an AT&T sim card and get HSPA speeds and no dropped calls. Guess I'll stay with them until the T-Mobile situation gets fixed.
That's a helluva trade. Do it before the other guy realizes he's losing out.

I would test run the prime first. There are some units out there that the wifi is poor and the gps just does not work. To be fair, there are also some that work great. I read the whole tear down thread and they found antennas and radios with poor placement and some just not connected at all. Luck of the draw.
good luck with your decision!
You realize street value on the prime is pretty close to 500 yet right?
That's a pretty good deal

Definately do it, then sell the amaze for 220, and buy a slightly used note for 380 in a few months

For the Prime, besides the usual checks (screen, case, dead pixels, etc)...check the serial #...I have C1xxx. GPS is still almost non-existent, but Wi-Fi is definitely better with the more recent serial #s, C1xxx, C2xxx, C3xxx??? and latest updates from ASUS. Be careful not to update to .21 firmware yet if possible...believe there is no root for .21 firmware yet.
EDIT: Currently, you need to root BEFORE firmware .21 and install OTA Rootkeeper immediately!!! You can then upgrade to firmware .21 the restore root with OTA Rootkeeper. It's all in the Prime section.

I have been reading the nexus forums, and I just have to LOL.
I seem to remember a ton of people saying "why buy the rezound when the 'superior' google nexus is right around the corner.
seems like they are having issues with screen banding, the phone is very slick and hard to hold. Many people are having battery life issues. The browser is hard to use, there is a volume issue that automatically turns off the volume. It gets hot while using. etc.
just goes to show that every phone has "issues", and you have to pick your poison.
im SO GLAD to be with you guys and on the rezound and when we get ICS the nexus people will be jumping ship
Thats wht they get. That phone is too big for me anyway. I got the rezound soon after release after waiting for months. Like u said pick your poison. The only issue ive had was for some reason the phone decided not to boot up n i hd to do a factory reset. But its bn ok e er since besides the usual htc incredible glitches which i am used to. The size is borderline too big for me but im loving this phone. Cant wait for ICS upgrade

I would have gotten the nexus anyway, but I have a rezound now because I just couldn't justify spending ~$300 for a nexus on contract when I could get the Rezound for free with amazon's deal.
So far I'm happy with the Rezound, although I wish the battery was better. I'm used to my Galaxy S lasting almost 2 days.
You do realize that these issues are related to the gsm device and may not be problems on the cdma/lte version since it's different hardware.

I may have been dreaming as I was surfing the net half asleep last night right before bed, but anyway...I read that the Nexus Volume bug has been acknowledged by Google/Samsung and it is software related not hardware, an update to fix the problem will be released soon. That's the Good thing about Nexus phones, as soon as their is a problem it gets resolved fast.
Btw the volume bug is only on GSM phones in the UK using 900mhz band or something like that. Wouldn't affect Verizon CDMA version.

Exactly my point. This is a "ha ha" post to the people who said the rezound was a pointless buy with the nexus coming out.
Basicly saying every aspect of the nexus was better than the rezound. And now it seems as the playing field has been leveled.
I will have no problem returning the rezound for the nexus nothing aganist this device it feels well built and a decent phone. i do not like sense and a little unsure about how the rooting process goes for htc.

You do know that the Verizon Nexus is going to be bloated as well right? I wouldn't be surprised if they forced Google to lock the bootloader too. It's pretty easy to root HTC phones once S-Off has been achieved. S-off has been achieved apparently, now we're just waiting for proof.
I am on the fence with what to do. The rezound has surprised me and is better than I thought it would be. Will have to see the nexus first. It will probably have better dev support due to the gsm version. And official ROM updates should be more timely than HTC is.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.

Where have I heard this song before? I'm done with HTC because of their lack of support for this phone. Verizon too. I've really been disappointed with this phone when Verizon did such a big effort to say how awesome and revolutionary it was.
I'm not holding my breath for it. I see it this way.. Why would they update the OS on these phones when they can just sell us a newer model that matches these phones exactly BUT has a newer OS.. Apple has done it for years.. why not HTC?
I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way, but ICS being released has no effect on my purchasing a new phone. It would be freakin awesome if tomorrow ICS was out, but if I wanted to upgrade, ICS wouldn't sway me back into keeping the Thunderbolt. I don't want a new phone because I don't want to buy it full price or eBay or Craigslist or whatever. And I don't want to lose my unlimited data. Soooo.....I'm sticking with the Thunderbolt for now. When I do decide to upgrade and buy a new phone, having ICS, Jelly Bean, Key Lime Pie, etc. on the Thunderbolt won't matter to me. So for now, I hope ICS comes out really soon. I'm tired of flashing the same ROMs over and over.

Agreed. They could come out with Jelly Bean for the TB, but it doesn't change the fact that the hardware and look are outdated.
It's buisness. They are not in a rush to release it whether it is ready or not. There are a list of priorities and knowing Verizon customer service has always been on the low end. So considering giving the thunderbolt ics would simply be providing customers with a generous update, my guess is that it is low on the list of priorities. People shouldn't knock HTC. Their products are good quality and are actually outstanding in some aspects (minus the battery life). Verizon is the issue here and Google did the right thing in not giving them the nexus 4. LTE is more or less a scam as far as what a phone can actually render. HSPA+ is plenty. I'm with Google on this one. Verizon and their gouging for money and lack of customer service leads to my decision that I'm better off on my own no contract just Google and a sim card.
HTC really dropped the ball with ICS for the thunderbolt. Do rectify the situation they should offer discounted new phones to Thunderbolt owners. The phone was just absolutely terrible...
I will end my Verizon contract and go back to Tmobile in the summer. Sick of this terrible lack of support.

I saw a thread somewhere that Verizon WAS giving out new phones for Thunderbolts. Maybe if you flash it to stock and complain about reboots etc which they can't prove out. Personally, I'm still relatively happy with the community for providing awesome ROMs, though it would be nice if they had good source to work from.
They was giving out other phones awhile back because they had no cln bolts as replacement. They don't do that now unless you have replaced like 5 to 7 bolts in a period of time.

I'm stuck with big red for now as I travel a lot and being in sales, I live on my phone. Switched from AT&T which wasn't anywhere near as reliable. Keep hoping that verizon gets there act together and releases premier android phones like other carriers. Hoping that the One is coming...

I don't understand the appeal of this phone if you already have a DNA. It would be a very minimal upgrade and a slight downgrade in at leastone aaspect (screen). The only thing I am seeing that's better is a slight bump on the CPU clock speed and a better camera. Don't get me wrong. It looks like a super slick phone, just nothing worth purchasing coming from a DNA IMO

Although every aspect was upgraded it's not enough to make me switch. I'm content with my dna on 100% stock. I don't think verizon is just going to dump this phone and stop updating it, but if that's the case then I will just use xda to modify my phone.

I don't understand the appeal of this phone if you already have a DNA. It would be a very minimal upgrade and a slight downgrade in at leastone aaspect (screen). The only thing I am seeing that's better is a slight bump on the CPU clock speed and a better camera. Don't get me wrong. It looks like a super slick phone, just nothing worth purchasing coming from a DNA IMO

It's not just a bump in clock speed, also a bump in the processor itself. The HTC one will perform better than an overclocked DNA.

So the Amaze community is really quite fun to be a part of as of late, so many ROMs: awesome stock ICS based ones, to CM 10 being daily driver quality, CM 10.1 very active, Viper port is very active, I want to continue participating.
But, when my wife wants to get a hold of me, she never can because I have the phone in mid install or setup of some new ROM.
Time to start carrying two phones or risk divorce. Looking to find a cheap stable android phone supporting 850/1900 3G band to use mostly for phone and text (and some streaming music either google or rdio). Has to be SIM card compatible with Amaze. All the new phones seem to have gone to the smaller SIM size. Don't need much storage, won't be putting many apps on it. Oh and unlocked(able) of course.
Any suggestions?
myTouch 4G (Glacier) I have one which is my DD. Have CyanogenMod 7.2 with Darkside kernel. I can go almost 20 hours on a full charge with heavy texts calling and data. Wifi calling is aces and accessories are cheap and so are extra batteries and my replacement screen and digitizer was only 15 bux when mine broke.
Went with a LG Optimus G from Canadagsm
Found a SIM adapter. Fingers crossed, LTE 32GB otherwise a Nexus 4.
Priced almost the same.

Theres a thing in the optimus g development section that converts your phone in to a nexus 4 so you can run n4 roms on it. So i guess optimus g would mean the best of both worlds

I flash my ROMs very late when the wife is asleep or I have GrooveIP/Google Voice on my tablet where I can answer any calls.

That sounds awesome!

Too awesome. This was supposed to be the phone I don't fiddle with. Have not touched it yet, but my ORD may win yet. I have the phone but still got to get a sim this week before it becomes my daily driver.

In an unexpected twist, my work gave me a new Galaxy S4 a few weeks back. I ended up selling the LG to a friend (whom I'm trying to convince to join the XDA LG Optimus G forums/community, and try out the ROMs there, mostly because I wasn't allowed too, lol).
Man, I hate Touch Wiz and Samsung bloat. I'm not allowed to modify the phone or the IT department will shoot me. It does benchmark really well, and the LTE "feels" faster than on LG. But I still find myself using the Amaze for regular app use, even if though the S4 benchmarks so much higher.
So if you like Sense and don't like TW, stay away from the S4 if you are looking for a new phone. But do get an LTE phone if your area has it, the difference for me is amazing.
Since this last post the number of new ROMs on the Amaze is impressive. What a great community!

Just curious, why won't your work let you modify your own s4?
And thanks again for your generous donation to sports everyone should be thanking you now lol

Sloppy grammar on my part. Work owns the phone. The gave it to me use for work.
After all the rave reviews and benchmark numbers I was expecting to stop using my Amaze. But the amaze with the latest Roms is a pleasure to use and I hardly notice any difference from a performance point of view.
