Had a gs3 and have a one s while the one s is better then the gs3 in my eyes the one s drops connection completely from time to time. Would the amaze be worth getting? Thinking about a gs2 also.

Just root the one s and install one of the t mobile us Rom's, it fixes the data connection issue. It's absolutely the best phone on t mobile IMHO.

I've done that. I'm running axiom 1.7 senseless and its not data dropping it completely loses cell connection. Think red circle with line through it standing for no connection. Stock does the same thing. Is it a sim card issue or a defect?

I think I read somewhere that it's a hardware problem, something about the antenna not fully connecting in the phone. too bad you can't take off the casing with ease, I'm sure some aluminum foil or a paperclip of some sort would fix it lol.

Well, if you can live little development, then yes, the amaze is worth it. Great camera, decent screen, great build quality.

I will vouch for the One S signal sucking. Its awful.... no way is the one s better than sgs3 in ANY category tho... just my opinion... i also own(ed) both.
Rooting and flashing different radios didnt help either.

I've owned all three devices & while they are all great devices, I would stay with the S3. The one S had horrible signal and it's pentile screen is crappy compared to the Amaze and inferior to the S3's. Also the S3 having an massive 4.8 HD display gets excellent battery life, plus has an sd card slot and removable battery
yea man, stay with the GS3. sick phone. what color is it?
the Amaze is good, dont get me wrong. its just not great for development and its battery life is...well. not good, to put it nicely lol
Nvm, figured out the signal problem. Antenna on the one s is at the lower left hand side. Grip it down there in a low signal area, say good bye to reception. Knowing his the signal has been solid. Looks like I'm sticking with the one s!
Didn't the iPhONE have that issue? Death Grip.

The bottom left hand corner of the phone sits in my hand as shown in the picture. Bye, bye signal. Problem solved by holding differently. Good thing is this only happens in extremely poor T-Mobile areas. Which for me, is rare.
Lol leave it to htc to completely rebuild your phone grip like Tiger Woods rebuilding his swing lol.

Definitely.
What I don't get is that some of these people seem to be Photon owners who for some reason have buyers remorse.
This phone isn't even half a year old and at present works perfectly fine as it is. It got root within the first few weeks, it got 2 updates to address it's initial issues, and the source was just released. No other phone that has been recently released has gotten this kind of treatment. WTF?!
ROMs are created to enhance a phone's capabilities. And at its current capacity, there's nothing to enhance on the Photon. At least nothing that can't be addressed by purchasing apps from the Market...

Hate that so much. The lens on my Evo 4G was scratched up a couple of months after I bought it. I suppose I could lay it screen down on my desk, but then I have to keep flipping it over to see anything. At the very least, make the lens scratch-resistant, or recessed enough to not scrape across the surface it's on.
And I prefer the looks of the AT&T version of the One. The Sprint version is just another plain black slab -- why do we get such ugly phones on Sprint?? Still gonna get one though
See the thread located HERE......
How do you figure that. Rim isn't going down hill because of bad hardware. There going down hill because of outdated software. Rims 9930 is a solid preice of hardware. Now if they catch up on the software front that would help them tremendously, maybe look into bigger screens for there next Gen phones. HTC has solid hardware and beautiful software. Just to much implementation of sense IMO.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
HTC had a huge hit in 2010 with the Evo. They had a down year in 2011 (how do you follow up the Evo???), but they're generating a lot of hype with this new One line. I don't think they're going the way of RIM. And by the way, smart move if they're going to concentrate on a single line of phones rather than pushing out a new, differently named phone every month.

I just wanted to let you guys know that after I shut off NFC my service (signal strength) seems much better (ex I did not have service in my basement with it on). It takes a few minutes though to see the result.
Just something you guys might want to look into.

Testing now..
*EDIT* while speeds are not increased, It does seem to hold a more consistent signal. Here at work I get very little 3G if at all. It typically keeps switching from 1x to 3g to no data where now it seems to at least maintain the data connection. Nothing conclusive. Could be placebo, could have some substance. Look forward to more people's results..
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I can't wait to hear the results of this as I've never had the NFC chip on and I believe I've been getting pretty good service.
Just how do you cut the NFC chip off? I can't seem to find the setting.
EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.

I was under the impression that the NFC radio only uses battery when you touch your phone to a NFC chip, but besides that it is hibernating..

According to my non-scientific, and barely researched opinion, this is partially true.
NFC tags are actually powered by the NFC chip in your phone. When you touch them, power is transferred to the tag, and then the info is transferred to your phone.
However, I feel it is 99% impossible, to have a technology that is "waiting" to touch something, which will in turn activate it/something, not be using power while it's waiting. It seems like something has to be on, to acknowledge when the NFC tag is in range/touched.
I could be completely wrong, but I imagine there is some kind of power being used, even if it's miniscule.

Network vision better be as good as they say it's going to be.. Because I am not going to deal with this much longer. Data speeds have been going down hill on a yearly basis. Now it's 28.8k speeds and should have never been allowed to get this bad
I wonder if the Sprint Executives use their own service.

I guess right now it doesn't bother me as much as when it was a stuck pixel. I know the lines there so it doesn't bother me as much. The pixel just annoys the crap outta you because you look for it every time you turn the phone on haha.
I know how that is. Everytime my rezounds screen dark colored I would try to count how many dead pixels I could see in the nickel sized cluster of dead pixels it had. Most i could see were 12 lol. But didnt bother me enough to get a new one.
