id laugh if somehow the nexus 4 was unhackable

sounds like this will be my new device too. going to have great development, and the pricing is astonishing. it doesn't have expandable memory or removable battery but I bet battery will be a thousand times better than the amaze, and memory I guess I could use cloud storage. but sounds like an amazing device.

Given its been broken on almost all ICS Roms. Its on a bunch of forums from T-Mobile. Hopefully somehow some way the open source project on wifi calling actually fixes this issue and T-Mobile implement it.

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.

OK guys let's be honest, is the Sensation more worthwhile than the amaze

Before you go and bash me saying we do one of these threads like every week I'm just asking an honest question. is it worth it to trade an amaze for a sensation or go to the sensation from the amaze because if development and support
The down side is less RAM slightly worse camera and no internal storage
But besides that speed wise they should be similar since they run the same chip.
Software is a huge part of the phone, and I don't want the one s because it doesn't have a removable battery and storage.
What should I do? I think me and my amaze have been together long enough
Damn noob... There's a Q&A Section.
Noooo it's a discussion thread
In my opinion Sensation is better than Amaze since it gets more software supports (official CM, yah), integrated SoC (seems to be more power efficient), and is slightly thinner.
Hey eclipze! I personally think that the trading to the sensation is a good decision unless your snagging some cash. But I personally have owned 3 sensations. And have had one at the same time as having an amaze. I compared my stock amaze side by side with my cm 9 sensation. And the speed, smoothness, and stability of my amaze was noticeably better than the sensation. So while having the support, I really don't think it out performs the amaze. I had a sensation when the amaze came out. I was honestly laughing at the amaze. It seemed like a terrible phone choice for tmobile to push because it was arguably the same specs as the amaze. I thought this for a long time. I then had an opportunity to get an amaze dirt cheap, I planned on just reselling (besides wanting to play with the camera). But once I played with it I immediately noticed a difference in performance. That aside... Out of probably 4 sensations that ever reached my hands, 3 had significant amounts of dust under the screen. This gradually increased overtime... So even if it didn't have dust to begin with, it happened eventually. Because I'm cheap... If I could find a sensation for around $150 and could sell this for over $250, I'd do it, and use the sensation until gsiii prices dropped. But unless you're getting money out of it I wouldn't find it worth it.

I think I'm having the same feelings as you. I have been thinking about switching to a different device that has more support and dev. Although, I haven't thought about the sensation. Personally, I wouldn't go to the sensation as an equal exchange. I would need cash on top since the amaze is an upgrade.
Although, I'm actually thinking about the sgs3 or the nexus. I found a s3 for 400 brand new, thinking about getting it right after this doctor's appointment.
EDIT: after some reading it seems that there are a lot of scams going on with people on CL and tmobile phones, specifically the sgs3. So maybe won't go down that route. :banghead:

I can personally care less. I don't like the Sensation as much. 14.4MB compared to 42MB. big difference for data. I originally bought my phone so I can tether it to my laptop and Xbox. I still do that. I'm happy with how the software is. I'm not a flashaholic so I really don't mind. Sure, it is slow around here. At least I made some friends around here and people know me.

No thanks to a sensation, that's clearly a downgrade. If you've used one, side by side with an amaze, you'll know.
why not get an s3? arent you over there making roms for it anyways? if youre going to get rid of your amaze, at least dont go backwards

I got an Amaze knowing its issues. The performance is ok and its size/weight is not as much an issue for me since it is tapered. The lack of wifi source this late is infuriating. The battery life is also mediocre at best. IMO the main problem with the amaze is the crappy HSPA+ modem that was first gen, a huge power hog, and made the phone bulky as well.
But I probably would not downgrade to the sensation despite better rom support and battery life. I'd rather just wait for the successor to the Amaze or the next google phone.

Had an S3. Sold it after a week. Love my Amaze.
Sure it has great ROM development but I'm sure it wasn't always like that. The amaze work have great development one we figure out data. Plus it's a downgrade in specs from the amaze. If anything I would say go with a more current phone like the s3 or the one series phones.

Seeking advice to buy this phone or not

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
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
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.

My amaze 4G broke. Screen, but works fully.

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.

Use this thread to announce you are leaving the Amaze, and to say what device you are getting.
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.

Gave up on the htc amaze. The battery life was horrible and also the lack of software updates also made me leave it. On to my galaxy note 2.

I never thought I would say this but the best two phones right now are the Nexus 4 and the Note 2.

I think OneX+ is better than Nexus 4, Note is different device, no competition on the market. I'm still with HTC and Amaze of course, but my patient is dying already. I hate Samsung quality, but I'm affraid I had no choice...

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)
i'm waiting xperia z to be released and wait for the prices to go down

Deciding what phone to get

I'm thinking about changing phones I'm on T-Mobile with my amaze no longer under contract. I was looking at what they have to offer and had 4 thoughts. I'm looking for input.
1. Get the iPhone 5 and sell it to make a profit and keep using my amaze
2. Get the HTC one the processor isn't much faster than the amaze and the camera isn't as good and it also lacks SD card slot
3 get the nexus 4 16gb looks pretty nice quad core processor and is aosp but still lacks an SD card slot
4 keep my amaze and wait till it craps out.
What do you guys think? And I checked out the HTC one forums and saw sports on there so I personally ask you sports how's the HTC one

It depends. The one is a good option because it will probably be popular enough to attract development. Plus there's a 64GB option. And the Camera is actually pretty good. And I think it has LTE. Have you considered a GSIV

The HTC One processor is much faster then the amaze processor.
Go with the one it's an amazing phone I'm loving it

Just went through this. New HTC one is very fast, don't let mhz ratings fool you. Go use the phones until the sales guy kicks you out.
I tried new htc one. Old htc one, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g cousin, s3 and note 2. All much faster than amaze. All great phones.
In the end because I didn't want to lock into contract, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g were hundreds less than the rest. Went with Optimus for LTE. Arrives this week.
Hoping when s4 is finally on display in my area I don't regret it. Based on reviews like trusted tech heads at arstecnica the new LG Optimus g pro phablet is the benchmark king. Out shortly if you like the size.
Keeping my amaze as my ORD phone.

I saw someone using the HTC One in my school and I had to do a double take cause it looks so pimping in person.

Go with the ONE. Hands down, the best phone I've ever had. I got the chance to play around with the s4..wife has the note2. It's a good device but nothing like the one. S4 was choppy and laggy, the other stuff is just rusty bells and whistles. My ONE chews up everything I throw at it...no lag. I watched a few videos on it here and there but today I watched Zero Dark Thirty and was blown away. I'm keeping this [email protected]!

Is there s- off or any of that nonsense???
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Before picking up any phone I would make sure to check out what bugs people are noticing in the forums. Things like how the amaze capacitor lights bleed etc.
No regrets on not waiting for s4. Tried one out for an hour yesterday. Great phone. Just not hundreds of dollars greater than others I looked at. Happy I went with unlocked lg.

I've been using a HTC One for the past couple days and it's really fast. The front speakers sound clear and pictures are all right. The phone has no grip though so you might want to pick up a case on Amazon. The profiting from an iPhone sounds like too much work for not enough money. The Amaze is still quick for most things so unless you hate it I think you should keep it.
Go with the HTC one. It's great and development is amazing! Battery is also awesome. I get 4hrs screen on time! Sense 5 is also very fast and minimalistic making it an aosp like Rom that just tons of extra features!
I upgraded from my amaze.
You can also use the HTC logo as a Menu button so you won't lose screen realestate from an on screen menu button.
