Hi all.
Im just wondering. People on international s3s get way more bat life right? People with qualcomm dual core chips and LTE will get terrible bat life even with the best ROM and kernel set up?
Just a question

Yes you will get the best speed and screen.
But sorry, I think Atrix battery is better, since it's 1920mah.
Crapware, yes they exist but you can always remove it after you root.

this phone in only available unlocked right now, so you cant get it on upgrade with ATT. rumor is its coming later this year, but no details yet.
Anyone with the Amaze 4G on T-Mobile USA notice much better download speeds compared to the Sensation and even Galaxy S II Titanium? Staying in the exact same spot and even within a few seconds of putting the same SIM card into other phones such as the Sensation and Galaxy S II the Amaze consistently outperforms them in download speeds.
What makes the Amaze so special that it can do this when the other processors on the above listed phones are quite comparable are they not? Even in terms of RAM and all running gingerbread?
It's a better phone

Amaze is always better than sensation and gs2 for me!
29Mbs on amaze, question answered!
It would appear so but what exactly makes it perform better as far as speeds go when the processor is not any faster than the galaxy S2? Is it better hardware or software?

Let's clear it up that download speeds... Aren't related to processor speed. Thanks

The answer you are looking for is HSPA+. The difference between the phones you listed is that the amaze uses the very latest broadband standards. The Sensation uses regular HSPA (not plus)

You cant compare the sensation with data speeds cause it runs on t Mobiles 14.4 mps network, the amaze runs on the 42.2 mps network

wow, some of you guys are getting outstanding speeds...highest ive gotten here in cincinnati is a little over 10 down and about 3 up
Some phones name themselves "rocket" and others perform with Rocket speeds

Even the sensation 4G? That's the one I was referring to originally sorry. What about the Samsung galaxy S2?

GS2 I've seen put up almost identical speeds as the Amaze... Very similar and both are much faster than the sensation

Interesting. When i tried the GS2 it was faster than the sensation but still nowhere near the amaze.

you already know i have a love affair with my mytouch, but sometimes i wonder if my infatuation for MIUI plays a big role in that. imo, MIUI is hands down the best OS out there. cant wait to see what cm9 throws at us tho
In Connecticut I get about 10-14 mbps consistently. Peaks of 20-23
Faster than my WiFi from my room lol
Amaze is an underestimated beast!!!

Amaze will perform better than Sensation because Amaze utilizes dual cell HSPA+, or in plain terms you can say faster 4g coz Sensation is also 4g . Anyway you can read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-Cell_HSDPA
Not sure why is it faster than gs2 coz both of them use the same technique and have same chipset, so same modem...could be because Amaze radio firmware be better optimized or just better suited in your area than gs2's but ideally it should be same or something close by..
Hey guys, well it doesn't look like another amaze is in y future, but im getting a rezound to replace my work phone (my dx) . Has any one here had any experience, opinions?
How's the 4g lte? I know I could have posted in the resound forums, bit I wanted to see if anyone has switched to or from big red, and went from amaze to rezound or vice versa..

TMobile doesn't have lte. So if the resound is att it would be best to ask elsewhere.

Yes. Having been a tmo customer for over 12years I am well aware of that thanks though lol.
The rezound is a Verizon phone fyi.
I was just wondering what if any experiences amaze owners have had .

Just check gsmarena, pretty sure they have a review on it, they have a review on just about every phone and pretty solid at that, they tell you as it is, if that battery life sucks, they say so flat out.
I've used one before cause I was thinking about going to Verizon. It has a slighter higher resolution (720x1280) but the picture quality is pretty much identical. The LTE network is very fast but unfortunately it will put quite a drain on the battery if you leave it on. That's one of the reasons I went with the HTC Amaze since HSPA+ is about as fast as Verizon's LTE... and no battery drain.
Oh yeah it has Beats audio but its just software and can be flashed to the Amaze if your phone is rooted.
Ok I just posted as another thread in a complete wrong section so I'm sorry if this is also the wrong one. (I've never used the app before). my question is, is the telstra s2 4g the same as the s2 epic 4g touch? And if so where can I find roms and such for it? Thanks

G'Day fellow Failstra user
The main difference lies in the model numbers. I'm using the Telstra variant 3G S2, which gives me the model i9100T, where yours is i9210. I don't know the Epic's model, but it will be different again.
I was wondering the same thing about the 4G ROMs, as I got offered one for the same price as it'll cost for repairing this one. So I'm considering the change, but it depends on the availability of ROMs for it.
Maybe look further in this General forum for the Australia thread and see if there is any info in there.

Haha completely agree with the failstra. I it have them because they are the only network with coverage where I live :/... Otherwise Anaheim all the way .... But back to the subject, I have been reading around and from what I can tell the 4g is a completely different phone to the 3g because it has a different chipset.

I'm pretty sure this is correct. The Exynos processor from the Galaxy S II models isn't compatible with LTE networks. Even if it was, you might still have troubles because the networks are different so i wouldn't be surprised if the anntenas weren't different.
I feel sorry fit you because I'm having the same trouble atm with my Galaxy Tab 8.9

Just googling tells me I could save battery life by switching off LTE when I don't need it and use 3G.
But just curious from those who actually do this and have experienced it. Is there a big increase in battery life or do articles I find from Google exaggerate? Just curious cause I realized I hardly ever need LTE and wondering what kind of increase I should expect.
