Yeah I suppose you are right, but HTC has been going down lately, both in the Dev category and the stock market... HTC needs to get on their game otherwise they might be the next RIM
Im going Nexus, i know that for sure. Tired of these stupid android skins that make development so difficult for people.

Lol it's not really the skin, its the manufacturers not releasing the drivers the way Google does with the nexus devices.

I'll be hanging on to my amaze for at least another year. there hasn't been anything out that is miles ahead of the amaze, so when I upgrade, I want it to be an upgrade, not just trying something else out and moving sideways. Now that everything has been released for the amaze, its only a matter of time until everybody gets what they want (AOSP, AOKP, CM9/10, sense4, etc)

Totally agreed to this one too. lol.
I personally think that my Amaze will still do the job till at least next year.... except, if i got tired with the crappy battery life and the random shutdown (switched between three batteries and still got the random shutdown).... If not for those two problems, I would never ever think of changing phone.... Plus, I don't wanna pay extra 200 bucks for a small hardware upgrade....
Guys remember we are getting the 1900 band as well. So I'm going to wait for that then get international phones. The choices are endless when we get that 1900.

I'm hearing everywhere that the phone will be obsolete in a couple of months. I'm scared I might get out dated when I just bought this phone like 1 months ago. Should I get rid of it and get a sgs2 while I still can or what should I do?

Even if HTC were to discontinue the phone today it's still a 1.5ghz dual core 4G phone. The SGS2 is pretty much identical in specs. If the phones are so similar and the Amaze is no longer in production but the SGS2 is, then is the Amze "obsolete?" Your definition of obsolete must be different than mine.

im sorry, i used a poor choice of words. i was in a hurry when i wrote this. By obsolete i meant that htc will not be supporting us and will stop sellin the phone.
With the second generation dual core and first generation quad cores on the horizon. Not to mention the big hardware specification push, it is/will be soon obsolete. Does that make it irrelevant, no.. Hell computers are obsolete before you buy them for the most part. Just live with and enjoy your device...

I agree. You have a two year contract when you purchase a phone with a discount. Who here thinks that T-Mobile shouldn't start offering new phones before your two year contract expires? Seriously! The phone has been out for what... three, four months now? I would say that's pretty good actually. Don't worry about the phone itself though. You still have a 1 year warranty which will still be honored should you require service. It's still a powerhouse of a phone and we're expecting an update here very soon. So... what's the problem? You guys are acting like it's the damn G1.
You know to be honest I was expecting a better phone to come out about a month after ours did. I'm surprised that it didn't. But I'm saying this to people that are suprised that in this day and technological age your phone is old and outdated before you can manage to buy accessories for it. Just look at it this way... iphone fans are constantly being screwed by Apple and their yearly releases! You wait in line overnight to buy the new iphone 4GS or whatever and nine months later Apple teases you with the new iphone 4GS2 for a super low price of $600 because you're still on contract. Else they can wait for another year for the release of the iphone 5 or whatever. It's a sales gimmick and that's all there is to it. Yet you guys are surpised to see this with HTC? Naive I think.
Only thing you need to worry about is awful Dev support.
Im sorry I like XB and the others but this phone has just about zero Rom selection compared to SGS2 and other phones. Nothing even close to a workable ICS build.
The phone itself is fantastic mostly due to the camera , HW isnt what you should be worried about.

Smartphones "smart" once you find out your phone will be semi-obsolete as is the case here with Google trying to tell software & hardware developers what to do.

All of this is true but don't you all feel that the htc amaze is a bad phone? You can't have a case because you lose WiFi signal, you have to put electrical tape on the back of the phone to prevent the flash from messing up your pictures at night, the haptic key light bleeds in the screen, the faceplate on the back creaks really loud when putting pressure. I did not pay over 600 for a phone to have so many problems.

T-mo news did post an article stating that the amaze 4g is reaching "end-of-life" and will he discontinued soon. This may lower our chance of getting more dev support, but let's be thankful for who we do have which is some great developers like xboarder, faux, and now nrg... Just have patience, soom good stuff is going to be coming to us in the near future, we just need to wait. No one has a perfectly running ICS with no bugs we arent far behind guys we will have what we want soon

I do not see why it is such a big deal they won't be producing htc amaze anymore(if that is true). anyway even the htc ville we are expecting to come out in march or the samsung bliss, they have nothing special, same dual core cpu, same speed + the camera that the amaze has is one of the best in the market. So I find all this "worried about my amaze" a little too exaggerated. and yes it is just a phone, if you are concerned just go sell it back and buy a new one when it comes out. hope your worries about the htc amaze do not keep you from living a normal life...extra stress is never good
I love my Amaze. I knew about the "flaws" before I bought it. To my amazement, it's better than I thought and read about. I fortunately do not have the creaking back cover(there's a fix), Wi-Fi range is awesome even with a case, GPS locks in seconds even inside the house, battery life last all day, awesome ROMs available (thank you devs, you know who you are, lol) the list goes on.

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.
So I just saw this:

Looks like it will be pushed back till june.
That makes no sense since this seems to be works so well.

I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. I have a feeling T-Mobile is holding off on the update so the One S can have the spotlight for another month. They probably figured that people would buy it since Ice Cream Sandwich is a big selling point.

These two tie in together. HTC wants to nail down an update schedule that the One S will have ICS for a while, gathering in sales, while the other phones will have to wait. Also, T-Mobile stores list our phone as 1.5 ghz dual-core, they don't really specify that it's produced by Snapdragon or that it is an S3. Clearly, it would look bad that the One S and the Amaze have the same specs in a simpler manner, without going into specifics.
Some of you folks act like your phone is broke or completely ancient because it isn't rocking the current OS.
There is a leak for ICS, so what is the problem? If you want it so bad, download it and be on your merrily happy way. If not, go spend monies you probably don't have on a device that runs on it. Complaining over and over on something you can't control is beyond rhetorical.
Not like T-Mobile has ever been fast with the updates. This is nothing new......be glad if it comes out in June.

My Amaze (bought in December) has multiple issues that have not been resolved on three separate handsets, and half a dozen factory resets. I'm not "whining" about not getting ICS sooner, I'm whining about not getting FIXES after way too long a wait.
The last word I've heard was, "we're working on a fix," "HTC is aware of the problem," while I continue to wait, and wait, and wait. Like the poor refugees in CASABLANCA
I'm willing to wait longer for solid fixes, and (crosses fingers) a replacement of Sense 3.0 with the much-improved 4.0. Frankly, I've gotten tired of factory resets and handset replacements that flush my progress and scores from games that I've paid for. It's not a requirement that my games are intact on a phone, but jeez, it got old after 12 weeks of ownership of this top-tier phone to be told, "don't install any apps, just use the phone as shipped."
I just feel that I've been made to wait through serial postponements while HTC and T-Mobile trumpet a newer, slightly better line of phones. Clearly, people who've already bought an HTC don't get as much respect or thought than the new customers out there. S'okay, if the ICS update arrives and doesn't fix the problems, I'll know what to do. Root, flash, or flip and get another brand. T'is a pity that modern manufacturers would rather disappoint their established customers while trying to attract new customers. It's a model that has destroyed many companies in the past.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/t-mo...-ice-cream-sandwich-upcoming-device-launches/
Looks like it will be pushed back till june.
That makes no sense since this seems to be works so well.
I wonder if HTC leaked that purposely to test people or if it will change again.
What are your thoughts?

ICS leak is NOT running so well....
My radio signals are fluctuating ..... woke up yesterday and my service said 4g with full bars.... but all the apps I tried to run specially facebook told me theres a network connection error.....
my wifi doesn't work.....
Tomorrow I'll be selling my Amaze. I don't want to, but the headphone jack is busted and I don't feel like carrying around 2 phones for music.
Wanted to say thank you to the Devs here (team nightmare, faux, NRG and anyone who I've forgotten) for continuing to support the Amaze even with the lack of support from htc + other developers.
I want to say thank you to Hasoon, Double0ek (sp?), madmax, mrmako, dexter & the s-off team, aj_2423. You guys were huge in making this phone frankenstein phone bearable!!
Im going to miss you guys and Ill definitely miss checking the forum constantly for updates!

Maybe the Nexus 4, even though the amaze is pretty much superior in every way (except processor + gpu) because it's so cheap
@sportstar
I had a feeling you'd fix data soon enough Just not the night before I sell my phone LOL

I'm not ready to play almost double the price for the AMOLED, bigger screen size and a few other features. Right now, the n4 is the best bang for your buck phone

Is this really gonna turn into a flame thread? Who cares what you think is better, I'm no mod, but keep the replies on topic for F's sake.
How much did you sell the Amaze for? And good luck with the N4. I'll be joining you shortly :good:

$180. Was cheap as hell, but oh well. When the n4 would be restocked, its price is gonna go down even further. Weird not checking these forums on a daily basis...
I just bought the n4 4-5 weeks until delivery says google

Sense 5 will be available on older models. HTC has confirmed the information via his Facebook page. For the moment no "roadmap" official has been issued, only a small non-exhaustive list is available.
"HTC will be offering upgrades to some of its existing devices in the coming months, including variants of HTC One X One X +, One S & HTC Butterfly. However, note that certain features of the new HTC One will not be available in software updates for hardware compatibility reasons ".
The Droid DNA isn't on this list of 4 smartphones, but if the Butterfly will get the update, so it wouldn't be for technical reasons if the Droid DNA wouldn't get it...Normally it will also...

I'm not even thinking of official updates that's probably so far down the road.

Yeah verizon is horrible with updates. We probably won't have sense 5 until close to the end of the year. Or may never get it through an ota most likely will get it through a port before the ota.

The word variants kind of confirms the DNA. I don't understand why such doubt? Don't say because of the thunderbolt or this phone or that phone didn't get anything. All we can do is wait. We bought the phone for what it had, not for what it might get. I'm happy either way.

I thank that's a Galaxy S IV exclusive.
This is the reason I left HTC to begin with... The promising of updates that never happen... Verizon shares some of the blame for the delays, but ultimately it's up to HTC to deliver quality builds to the carriers.. While on the Incredible 2 and waiting for ICS, HTC delivered a build to Verizon that was so buggy that even Verizon said "no".... But now I'm back and hope this doesn't happen again..

Timely updates are not one of HTC's virtues. But their phones are the best. You might be disappointed again with updates, most likely. But look at the phone you are holding. What is better?

I love how you're comparing the new and revised business plan with the Inc2.......this is 100% on verizon, not HTC. I suppose people also think that the 4.1 and 4.2 updates were delivered to Verizon "buggy" from google for the Galaxy Nexus? or JB update for S3? or many many others that were released worldwide and on other carriers a good 2-6 months before big red? lolz....

ok.... That was a few seconds I won't get back... The first ICS build sent to Verizon was buggy... Embarrassingly buggy for HTC... There was major connection issues among other things... If Sense 5 arrives and in good time then that's great, I'm just not getting my hopes up and rely on my software updates from our awesome developers...

Precisely why I look at the possible dev community rather than what I think the carrier will offer down the road when I purchase a phone. I bought the DNA in full confidence that there would be many great devs supporting it, and I was right. Really enjoying my phone so far.
As for my friend, he bought an LG Spectrum even though he knew I was pretty knowledgeable and could have given him better suggestions. Now he's begging me to root it for him... but for what, there's no development for it at all lol.
I personally bought the DNA over butterfly because of the bigger dev community. Ill never understand why be at xda and wait on carriers.

you might want to go check over on android forums. There is plenty of development. In fact, AOKP and CM 10.1 both are nearing official support thanks to the devs over there. The Spec was a great phone while I had it.

I looked quite a few times and even by the time I bought my DNA, they still didn't have anything concrete. Just took a look too and this all looks like recent dev for it. Agreed though, the specs did look good, but LG messed it up pretty bad.
Either way, good to see that it's finally getting some attention and I can offer him some relief when we see each other in a few months - hopefully they have a stable CM10.1 by then

LG devices are notorious for their poor development. They're usually budget phones (with the Optimus line being an obvious exception).
HTC confirmed via their Facebook page to my question about ICS on the Thunderbolt that it was "coming soon" back in June of 2012. When did it arrive? December? Better late than never I suppose but I wouldn't hold your breath...
