Hello,
I recently switched to tmobile and am looking to buy a phone to use. I've been looking at HTC Sensation, HTC Amaze, and Galaxy S2. I was thinking to go with HTC Amaze, but I ran into many issues discussed on the net. So, here's my question. Should I buy this phone? Are the issues that bad? Or, can they be resolved by simply installing custom ROMs? I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you.
GT
I dealt with all 3 of them. GS2 is a POS. Sensation is has older harder (but better ROM development) and i love my Amaze. Does all I need it to do. You should get an Amaze.
Agreed with hasoon

Although I love my Amaze its getting to the point where its becoming outdated and unsupported. I would go another route. IMHO.
Depends what you are looking for...
Pros:
- Decent Specs.
- Nice camera.
- microSD.
Cons:
- Due to HTC and the lack of source ROM dev isn't as plentiful as other phones.
- Issues with the back plate not fitting right and making creaking noises.
- Larger device (thickness).
- Sense (for me at least).
- Horrible backlight bleed from the buttons.
- Lackluster battery life.
If I was to go back in time, I would have picked up a Galaxy Nexus over the Amaze.
I was choosing among those phones too (including the blaze). Chose the amaze because it's screen was way better than Samsung crappy pentile offerings and it had a dedicated camera button. Battery life is pretty mediocre even with an anker extended battery. Battery life is a huge weakness since HTC refuses to release wireless source.

Do it. This phone if my last one from HTC. They at one time ruled the smart phone spec now they just suck. Sport and Eclipze thanx for the great roms I have a feeling this will be abandonware real soon. Faux your still the kernel master. Last time I do an upgrade without doing all of my research. The One S is good but the lack of SD card is a no go and its made by HTC. Maybe the S3 when cyanogen gets released on it or dare I say it the iP...who am I kinding I'll never buy that phone I need wifi calling like a crack heads needs a rock.

It may not have all the games and what not but as far as talk, text and emails its pretty nice, just wish it wasnt a pinkish red color lol
I can honestly say the only thing I miss about BB is battery life. I should get out of work with 80-85% battery, with my amaze I get out of work and it'll be around 25% equal usage =[

Im sure if I actually got rid of my Amaze I would miss it, but just having it to play with on wifi may be enough for now LOL
had a bb 8300 when they first dropped, loved that phone. now i regularly cheat on my amaze with my mytouch running the goodness known as MIUI
I sometimes go back to my 9700. Miss battery life and I don't care what anyone tells me, the physical keyboard is just better and I am pretty fast and accurate on my Amaze or mytouch4G.
I wish and hope BB does well. May pick up a BB10 device .....maybe, lol!

BB curve 8900 was one of my favorite phones ever... If it had the bold 9000s radio capability it would have been the perfect phone. Haven't messed with bb since the original bold... Disliked it that much. The curve would be fun to go back and play with it. I never hacked one (moto cliq xt was first hack as test before rooting mt4g)
Btw... HATED THE 8520.. cheaply built feel, slow data, and I HATED the buttons compared to 8900.

Never owned a BB. Had/Have the following:
HTC Wing,G1, MOTO Cliq, MOTO Cliq XT, Samsung Intercept, Galaxy S2 and now the Amaze. Besides the Wing all my phones have been Android since the G1 but before the Wing its was old flip phones with basic functionality. The good ol' days.

Will you still be developing for the Amaze?
I got my new device, SGN1, and love it. I have noticed the the Amaze camera is better even though the SGN1 has higher resolution. I'll still be using it just not as often.
Not that impressed with the galaxy nexus 4. It's a great value proposition but early reviews are not the greatest. The more cores you have the more battery problems you have. The LG camera is mediocre and I am not sure of the build quality. 16gb is still a joke IMO. Give me a 32gb option at least.
Staying with the Amaze because of the camera, camera button, removable battery, storage options. I am not upgrading to a phone with less features no matter what. I think HTC will come out with something decent next spring for T-mobile. Something like AT&T's One X+ but with a dual core Krait instead. I'd rather have S4 than Tegra at this point; better battery life.

So... You suggest it because it's cheap, but if you read the op he says assuming money isn't a factor so.. Your argument is void

Yeah, I thought the SGS3
My amaze 4G broke. Screen, but works fully.
I have to say I FUC*ING HATE IT AND WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY HTC AGAIN!!! .. btw, EVER.
Money being no object......Buy multiple Amaze's, root them and put Nitemare 1.6 on them and then sell the ones you dont need at a profit.
My Sensation was completely awesome, I bet you can get one for a good price. Too bad I broke it and had to get the Amaze.
The sensation is basically the Amaze except half as thick, lighter, better looking, better battery, better development, screen was great, and it was overall just awesome.
The Amaze is a huge downgrade, it's so glitchy, heavy, thick and ugly and the customization rom-wise is very weak.
If you can get the sensation for a good price I highly recommend it.
I think it was one of the revolutionary phones, and set the standard for other droids to date.
But that's just my opinion. If I had a choice I would have the Sensation right now over any phone, even the GS3.
Get an HTC One S! Or unlock and get a ONE X+

Money being no object, the Nexus 4 is the universal recommendation we can make (pentaband 3G like the Amaze). I'm assuming you're in the USA, so keep an eye next week when Verizon will reveal the Droid DNA, which looks like to be HTC's second superphone of 2012, after the One X series.

Why not the HTC one x+ that should be an amazing phone and probably better than sgs3 and definitely a lot more beautiful. Although sgs3 is an amazing phone software and hardware wise to me it looks ugly and again feels cheap when I held it one x+ sports better specs and keeps in mind aesthetics along with premium quality just not sure why many people aren't suggesting it and suggesting an inferior device (sgs3) especially when price is not a factor and if it was nexus 4 would be the best choice so either way sgs3 is now more hype than anything now that there are better phones on the market

No removable battery, no memory expansion, 1gb ram. And... Tegra processor? Eh. I guess that's 'better'. The s4 chip can handle anything I've used it for quite smoothly, if I was going quad core I'd go with something s4 pro. Also some people prefer to have a settings button on the phone, I know I do. Plus all the red tape from HTC rgd development and such. Good development community over at the sgs iii. You asked, I answered I've not held the one x+ granted, I was not impressed with the feel of the one s. And considering the one x+ is almost the same dimensions as the gs iii I gotta say the feel of the gs iii grows on ya haha. But anyway just my opinion.

Nope, I'm not giving up my Amaze, but after seeing so many threads from people announcing they are leaving, I thought I'd put up a thread for people to use, so we don't have a new one all the time.

My Nexus 4 is arriving in the next couple days. I will keep the Amaze around as back up. This is probably the last great HTC device that has replaceable batteries, expandable storage, HSPA+, great camera and a good screen. Nothin HTC has released since has all of the above traits.
I too want to thank Team Nightmare for their awesome works. I will keep flashing the latest CM or AOKP rom that's being released.

HTC one x+ IS better than the nexus 4 IMO as well...
Those that hate Samsung quality... We are talking about the S3 and note 2... The Galaxy s skyrocket, s2 and all their variants are a whole different story. The quality of the s3 is unbelievable... Especially compared to their old devices. Trust me.. I used to think the same way. I got the one s as my amaze upgrade initially... Dumped it for the s3 and never looked back. Its soooooooo much nicer. And forgive me for thinking it being lightweight as a feature rather than a sign of poor build quality. Everyone puts cases on their phones anyway nowadays.

How do you get by without the SD card?

If you live in a metropolitan area, its reasonable to use Dropbox for pics/vids/files and Google music for music. Then you can use the 16gb for a couple/few backups. Its just an inconvenience.
I'm more shocked that he can get by with a slimmed down amaze and justify it as a worthy upgrade. That was my beef (and the SD card bit ) It was a downgrade in the camera and storage, an upgrade in the aesthetics and battery, and virtually identical in performance

i live in semi-rural area so cloud storage isnt the best option for me since i average 5-7mbps down and 2-4mbps up (would be kinda slow for me)

Hey fellow XDAers! I'm a Galaxy Nexus guy myself. my sister is on AT&T and asked me to recommend a phone. i am trying to keep the price down to the $100 mark. i saw this phone for $100 on contract. i loved my OG EVO and spec'ing this phone against the SGS3 it looks like a win for HTC, plus, the HTC model is newer and Sense IMO is better than TW. i've been out of the loop with HTC progress for a while and just wondered if you were generally pleased with your phone and would recommend it to a family member. this phone will likely never be rooted so the prospect of future (Official OTA) support is pretty important, i know you'd be guessing on that factor...

Phone will eventually get Sense 5.0 from HTC, so updates shouldn't be an issue.
depends, how much do you love your sister?

I'm sure it's by far the best $100 device available on AT&T right now. I paid $200 and think it's a great device.

I never reccomend anything to anyone because that somehow activates some unspoken agreement that you are now their official IT guy if they have any future questions.
Otherwise, I love what I've made my One X+ capable of, however, out of the box, the only thing I would warn a perspective buyer about is the somewhat dreadful battery life.
Tegra 3 is a hog is you don't underclock\ undervolt\ bring cores offline.

I would go with the S3. Besides nice hardware there's nothing spectacular about the X+. Sense is worse than TW actually, and on the X+ you're stuck with it.
