Thinking about this phone! What is y'all opinion? How's the development? Are there ics roms? Good kernels? Does long term development look promising? Thx for input guys!

Development is good but I'm not gonna lie, it's slowing down a bit right now.
There are ICS ROMs, but all based on HTC Sense someway somehow.
No real custom kernels available, just modified stock kernels.
Here's the thing, development has hit a bit of a fork in the road.
Until HTC releases kernel source for our phone, we're all waiting, some more patient than others, this one issue alone is what's really holding us up.
When kernel source is released, usually right after an OTA comes out, we'll find out what this phone truly has, development will no matter what skyrocket after this happens.

Guess the Nexus doesn't fancy you as much and the Fascinate is aging eh?
Development's been good, decent amount of GB ROMs and got a moderate amount of variety now on the ICS ROMs to play with (MIUI, Sense 4, Sense 3.6) and some others in the works (CM9, AOKP). Still awaiting source to tidy up things which will come with Official ICS by end of July. Development should pick back up even more then.
Best kernels are on GB, ICS still needs source for kernel development. ICS has an 1.8 OC Sebastian kernel out and Incredikernel is being worked on for ICS. That said, the ICS leaked stock kernels perform adequately for now.
Love the HD SLCD screen compared to RAZR and Nexus, but it guzzles power and hard to see in sunlight. Screen on time is 3-4 hours. Spare batteries or extended battery recommended.
S-off for this phone must be MacGyvered, but is accomplished without trouble if you read up well.
If you don't want to get the bleeding edge S4/Tegra chipped phones, this phone has the best performance/price ratio on the market IMO.
All considered, I'd recommend it over anything but One X, One S, or SGIII.

Slow untill HTC releases source, pretty much like any other phone.

I love the phone itself. Dev is pretty strong, but I'm afraid it will go the way of the thunderbolt when the next new 64xx comes out. Which there are no leaks on the horizon(at least on the Verizon side of things), so maybe(hopefully) that will be fall or later(other than the Inc 4G). If the development falls off like it did with the Tbolt, I'll move to the Nex. There are quite a few ICS roms, but only a couple of senseless roms with working ril(IIRC).
Would I buy the phone again, yes. In a heartbeat. I love it, it has a gorgeous screen that is actually 720p, without pentile. Hardware wise, it has everything I want except NFC, which I can live without.

I'll be honest if your into flashing rooms and need a battery that lasts you should get the nexus. If you love sense then you meed might like this but development has been really slow.

My wife has the nexus I like it, I've rooted, flashed rom and kernel just nit impressed with signal, I planned on waiting for the sgs3 since I'm running all of the same **** on my fassy that the nexus has, thx too aokp and glitch, since I'm grandfathered into a unlimited service! But Verizon seems too want too screw up the sgs3 by putting a dual core instead of the quad core so not sure what phone too get now!!

That's not vzw, it's lte. Doesn't work with the quad core. Nvidia said hopefully by the forth quarter they will have something worked out.

A duel core s4 is no slouch and is supposed to have 2gb of ram.
Looks tempting, will have to search CL about 3months after it drops.

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"
Don't know how accurate that is but Idk why it would take so long to connect.

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.
Shame the amaze is end of the line I actually want to go back to it. The galaxy s 2 with ICS is nice, but for me I really enjoyed messing with the amazes camera and thought sense was really cool.

The Black Amaze is not EOL. Only the white version is. I personally would choose this device over the ONE S anyday.

It is nice even tho its a leak for the at&t skyrocket the awesome devs have got it working pretty perfectly for the T-Mobile s2. Ics just has subtle changes that really polish the way android works and steps performance up real well. I really like sense tho I use to have the sensation then the amaze, ended up selling the amaze but wish I would have kept it n just sold the s2 instead.

You not down with padphone no more?
I really want to check that thing out.
A, I like that its not made by samsung or htc and ....well the obvious its made by Asus.... Hopefully it doesn't become the phailphone....
Unless I sell this I'm going to wait for s-off and ics.
Once ics comes to the amaze, its gonna make or break this phone, sorry to say.
Im really hoping ics will relly unleash the beast I know this phone is capable of.

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.

Thinking of picking up a note.

Just a few questions, what roms have bln support? Is there any cm9 rom variation that supports bln?
Also, what rom is giving decent benchmarks?
Is this device even recommended at this point or wait for the s3?
I believe Saurom has the bln support but is 2.3 I think. you can always stay stock and flash Da_G's kernal that has bln support. Thats my preference until ICS is out officially and is matured a little bit. I wouldnt trade my note for a 3s at all, but that all depends on person to person. Its huge and and fast enough. If i wanted a phone under 5 in, then i would get the s3 fo sho. Size and speed balance was my factor and im am super happy with it.
I suggest two weeks of dedicated arm exercises before trying to pick up a note. It's a beast.

I'm using the Collective's (now the Family) GB ROM...which does support BLN...or the kernel they use does. Not sure on the CM9 variation though. Like stated in an above post, I plan to stay with GB until the dust settles with ICS (dust for me is an OC kernel and the Family tweaking the hell out of it).
Benchmarks wise...no idea. Not really a benchmark kind of guy. If it feels fast and does what I need it to do, then I'm good.
Get the Note if you want a 5.3" screen and plan to use it like a tablet and not a phone. By phone, I mean just making voice calls and texting. This device can do so much more and has good hardware to boot. It may not have the S4 or Exynos processor (at least in the ATT version), but it still is up there with the big dogs. You really have to embrace what this device is truly capable of. I love my Note and have no intentions of going to another device...unless it's the Note2 or a badass device with a 5.3" display.
I am definitely a cm7 rom fan as that is what kind of rom variation I use on my old inspire. I just returned the one x because att will not allow you to unlock the bootloader so we can have dev support so I returned it. I have no patience for that.
So now the note I had when it came out but returned it as well because almost no dev support, and had an issue with my screen that was annoying..just problems from first production batches I guess.
Sure att knows me for returning phones if I'm not happy and I really don't care,or I care as much as they care for their customers
With all that being said I def am the type that should wait a few weeks and see what kind of dev support the device is getting as hey isn't that the reason we all come here sort of. I miss the screen size of the note,not gonna lie. I can only imagine custom roms have improved benchmarks,and there seems to be quite a few custom roms out now including a cm9.
So Im thinking of getting this or the sgs3 but by the time it reaches att and gets dev support, I can use this.
Opinions? Thanks

Are there any major issues I should be aware of? Oh and has battery charging times improved with new roms? That is def something that annoyed me about Samsung devices ,the time it took to charge. Forget about usb charging lol
Hi...I must say, you in a way you sound like myself. I have gone through 3 phone company's and about 6 phones within a 4 month time.. lol.. ....I will say you WILL NOT go wrong getting this phone only thing I would do first make sure you dobt have bad screen black crush on the screen that caused me to flip out laying in bed and I seen black blobs in the background of the screen....other then that...believe me this phone is so nice to have the large screen. Ill never get a smaller one and it has 1,5 ghz what more do you need? And we finally have dev support as you can see in android development section .. I think you already have answered yourself in your first question! And never even knew it...

Should I get a new phone?

Development has pretty much come to a stop. There is no AOSP, sense 4.0 still isnt flawless and other phones are getting further and further ahead.
Jelly Bean and iOS6 are coming out and maybe i should get a new phone.
I have always been a huge android fan despite having a macbook and ipad and I dont think i should get an iphone, right?
Should I get a gnex? Galaxy SIII? What do you guys think?
Thanks!
Get a GNex. My GS3 and Rezound are going on Craigslist and I'm getting one too. Stupid f*cking locked bootloader on the GS3.

Do you think google is gonna release a new nexus soon? Should I wait?
I'd like to think they will release one end of this year or early next year... I'll definitely be buying the next one even if it is isn't flagship material.
Is the rezound pretty much dead? I've tried everything possible and I just cant get a smooth, fast feeling. Any ROM suggestions?
I'm going to wait and see what this "Eris" I've heard so much about does with the Rezound before deciding whether to stay aboard or jump ship. If he does something great and the source happens to come out soon enough, I'm definitely staying. If something happens and the source doesn't come out or his progress hits a huge snag where he quits, I'm probably going to pack my bags and look into going back to Sprint.
Their service really does suck in my area, but at least their price was a lot better. If I do jump ship and get an Evo 4G LTE, I would be interested in it if only to run FreshROM again, just like on my OG Evo. Plus, I sort of miss the small things about the Evo family, like CWM, FreshROM, etc. I know Sprint is finally switching to LTE, and if I had to go back, I would be willing to tough it out with bad signal just a while longer, since it looks like Sprint is actually serious about LTE over WiMAX this time.

Do you think the nex is better than the rezound? Yeah its awesome that theyre getting jellybean really soon, but i really like sense and there hardware is pretty much the same
i think any high end android phone is better than the iphone, right?
I've really been considering moving to the nexus since I'm not eligible for my upgrade yet and I can get a used one pretty cheap but I'm still undecided.
The rezound was my first HTC phone and I really love how well built it is compared to Samsung phones but I've had so many problems with it. Plus, with Verizon taking so long to push out updates and practically killing development, it makes the nexus slightly more enticing.
What do you guys think? Should I stick it out with this phone a little bit longer and just hope that the development gets a little better again soon or is it best to just move on now?
Can we at least wait until the end of the month before everyone flips their stuff? We're supposed to get ICS officially this month, and shortly after that HTC should release the ICS kernel source on the HTCDev website. All we need is our fantastic developers to get the RIL working and we'll hopefully be swimming in CM#/AOKP by the end of the year.

Would you change to the GS3?

Simple question, thinking about using my upgrade on the S3, currently have the rezound but im not sure i really want to do it yet as the i5 is coming out this year.
Would you?
I'm personally holding off to see what the quad-core 1080p beast that is rumored to follow the Rezound has to offer.

I would have posted this in the GS3 forum, because you might get more replies, but that's just me
I would definitely recommend upgrading to the GS3. I have a nexus which is kind of like a GS2.5 and i like it a lot more than I did my Rezound, and the GS3 is even better than my nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
i would get one. mostly bc i like the latest and greatest. if only i had the money
I would hold off. I don't like the build quality of samsung products. As crazy as it sounds the s3 is already getting dated.
hey ant, i have one. and a nexus. and a rezound.
Yah i had the droid x before this and i wasnt expecting the screen size to drop, should looked at one before buying it online
I love big screens, thats why im thinking about it but i need to do some more research on the new phones being rolled out soon!
thanks guys.

I have no idea why people are talking about quad core in this thread, I haven't had any problems running anything on my Droid X even. People are acting like they are trying to play crysis or WoW on their phones, in the end they need to remember that its a PHONE and not a COMP.
I would REALLY like to know why people have the need for a quad core phone? A few answers would be greatly appreciated. Maybe dial out faster? Pick up a call quicker? All joking aside, I'd really like to know.
After owning the Galaxy Nexus i will never buy a Samsung phone again, I paid $480 for it and gave it away for free that's how terrible it is!
Plus HTC is coming out with a beast soon so i'm holding off for that
I wouldn't upgrade to a Samsung device due to the radios. I would however consider upgrading to the new HTC phablet or whatever Nexus phone is coming out this year.

Quad cores offer greater performance and also greater battery life believe it or not I'm not trying to run crysis but hate to tell you but that thing you hold in your hand is more of a computer than a phone. We want quad core and two years after that we want 6 cores... And so on. Bill Gates once said 64mb of ram is more than we will ever need now look at us with 16gb. In other words, if we stop pushing, we will never see how great this smart phone technology can be in the future

I have a GS3. It owns the Rezound.
Battery life is about 2x better for me. Signal is very good. Much better than the Nexus. Not quite as good as the Rez, but it is worth the tradeoff.
No lag even on stock touchwiz (which actually is pretty nice).
Thinner & lighter.
Screen VERY visible outdoors.
Meh, I like the GS3 but unless my rezound broke and I had to pay for a warranty replacement I probably won't be buying one... It's not enough of an upgrade in my eyes to spend more than an extra 100 dollars on. It's def a nice phone though no doubt about it. I liked the GS2 a lot as well, and it's still a good phone.
In reality the rezound isn't really that dated yet (eh more so on paper kind of). I mean it's not a 1XL or a GS3 but it's close enough and still has higher ppi and than both, now I'm hoping I can hold out for the next GREAT phone that Verizon gets. Like the rumored HTC phablet thing or the next Nexus if its like a GS3.5ish(or better) type phone.

I would definitely recommend upgrading to the GS3. I have a nexus which is kind of like a GS2.5 and i like it a lot more than I did my Rezound, and the GS3 is even better than my nexus.

-10 cool points for calling the Nexus a GS 2.5. After seeing how choppy my friends one x is, not really impressed with the s4/225 combo.
If the radios didn't suck I would. But since you're sitting on an upgrade... Wait it out and see what's out there.

Probably on Launch Day.
Nope. The screen will KILL battery life like butter.

Depends on the off contract price... expecting it to be around 7-8 hundred so probably not.

I agree we already have the same phone in 2 other threads. Although I sound a bit like a hippocrit since I made a thread on the Japanese version when they had the dlx thread out.

Nope. The rezound is my last HTC device. They make decent quality stuff, but they refuse to support it. (see tablets) After buying two tabs and getting the shaft, I have made a vow to not buy another HTC product. Not to mention the hoops they make us jump through just to root and rom our phones. They might aswell be dead to me.

Delete it then fine by me. I only saw the butterfly thread and was just trying to provide some information.

Samsungs is easily bypassable. Which is where I plan on going. And it's not like "htc's unlockable" BL does all that much good. If it did we wouldn't need to s-off.

true about samsung. moto i think has garbage hardware... can i ask what trouble you had with the htc tablets? sounds like a pretty bad experience for you to leave the company

Well, it started with the many replacements of the tbolt, then HTC's hard stance against updating their tablets kinda pushed me over the edge, then they updated the flyer/view to broken software and they wont even fix it. Now the Rezound is having touchscreen issues. So I'm just tired of dealing with the problems and the lack of OEM support after purchase. I appreciate the Dev community for the zound, but sammy seems to be stronger in that dept. So I think I am going to give them a shot. I won't touch Moto with a ten foot pole. It may be a bad move, but I'm willing to take that risk after all the issues I have had recently with HTC. So for me, from here on out, it's going to be Nexus, or Samsung.
Samsung is worse.
I love my Rez and I still think of it as probably one of the, if not the most undervalued android phone released to date, but I don't see myself going for yet another carrier exclusive device after this. Of course, reviews might be so great for the DNA that I could change my mind but so far I am not that impressed.
Having said that however, the lack of a LTE capable Nexus 4 kinda limits the options for those looking to upgrade atm and I really cant see myself with a Galaxy S device. Wish Sony would be given a chance at penetrating the US market, they seem to strike a fair balance between corporate dev support, hardware and software quality.
I'll be getting this. The hardware and build quality will be top notch, it can be unlocked through HTCs dev website and be able to load cm. It was between this and the note but son, I am dissapoint at it having the older gen exynos and 720p screen on a 5.5 inch screen.
no, my next phone will be honor 2 or note 2
battery is important factor to me now
i dont think i will ever came back to htc
even im sense-boy
Nah, samsung isn't worse.

Its looking like ill most likely be getting it. I'm thinking ill be getting the DNA and one other new gen phone probably a GSM phone since I have two contracts, one with ATT and one with Verizon.
But I will be more careful than usual with this purchase. I'm currently so broke I can't afford the down payment on a grilled cheese sandwich. But this phone is a priority, and I owe it to the BAMF community. So I've been saving my pennies and will be selling some stuff to raise some funds.

samsungs radios and signal are 10x worse.
in my house, my gs3 gets about 6kbps download on 3g.
my rezound, when its not pulling 4g in my house (which the nexus and GS3 CAN'T), pulls atleast half a meg to a meg per second. doing anything on the gs3 on 3g is terrible, and ridiculously slow. fb app won't even load. rezound loads it no problem. hell, i even tethered 3 tablets to my rezound last night and while we were all browsing at the same time, ti was STILl faster than my gs3
i don't think i'd buy antoher samsung phone ever again, and i really want the DNA...dunno if i wanna fork out 600 bones for it tohugh
