Hello I saw a guy selling an unlocked att galaxy note and I offered him my HTC one x if he added some cash he said he would do the trade no cash involved. Now is this a good deal I have the HTC one x international variant and now with the note 2 coming up in about a month I have my doubts. The reason I'm trading is because I cant get data to work with my HTC one x on tmobile and I like the 5.3in screen. So would it be a good deal and is flashing tmobile radios easy?? And how's development? Thanks
Edit and flashing roms on HTC devices is hell since their not s-off yet
And is there 4G on ics?

1) there is 4g on ics rooms
2) development is awesome tons of ICS roms and a couple jellybean ones as well.
3)not sure about T-Mobile radios but if you use the search there's a lot of info about it.
4)It's only a good deal if that's what you want and then move forward and don't look back wishing you got a better trade. Besides soon as you root and flash you'll feel like you snookered the guy in the deal
Hope this helps

The note is a great phone and the development is pretty freakin awesome, I'm coming from an HTC and I remember the development for that device was off the charts. One thing I will add o the above poster is build quality, while the note is well made I know first hand that the HTC One is built like a beast and is tough as nails, the note is gonna be a little more dainty if you could imagine it. You're definitely not going to want to go naked with this phone. I also remember that depending on the recovery flashing stuff and making/restoring nands and just doing general maintainence in the HTC was a lot easier, but that is really a comparison between Amon Ra recovery and CWM for the note. But TWRP is comparable to Amon Ra.
As far as development there are things that are gonna make the trade a good idea on your part... For one there is beats audio available for the note as well as google now, and you're going to be happy with the spen suite (if you choose to run touch wiz). And I don't think you're gonna have trouble getting data to work on TMob. Not to metion the stable JB roms available is just too cool.
I think this is a good trade on you're part, you're gonna love the super AMOLED 5.3 screen and the 2500mA battery, as well as the Spen. But if it were me I would try to hold out for the note2, simply for the larger screen.
yeah guess im doing the trade then :good:
Just a friendly word of advice, get the N7000 if you have a choice. Mine gets about double the battery life compared with my other Note, the i717. And the button kicks ass.
yes that is a good deal. Galaxy Note is worth more, the roms are very good on the galaxy note. you can unlock it for Tmobile, the radios are pretty easy. The only thing is that the Note 2 maybe releasing some time. You may want it, if so you can get more cash for the note than you can for a One X. 5.3 in beats everything!
Battery life is different for all users. I average 19 hours with normal usage and what not while still overclocked on my ATT Note.

As for radio FJ rom + icsblaze radio gives the best result.
Unless you are grandfather in for tzone or that other $10／ month data plan, I do not see a reason for anyone to purchase att note & go through all these flashing trouble.

im in a debate right now. i have i717 but i have the chance to get the n7000 if i want to. is the 7000 really that better? hows the data speeds on at&t?

I've heard that the N700 is a better phone, but the reasons stated haven't convinced me. I've heard that its got better battery life, but battery life is way to subjective to say for sure and both batteries are the same.
I've also heard that the processor is better, but my research says that the i717 has a faster processor, though its not dual core. I'm also not convinced that a stock dual core will out perform my over clocked processor.
As far as data speeds there is a mod that changes att's network settings, and I've seen my data speeds increase 3-fold, up to 40mbs/s.
Other than all that, I don't like the button on the N700.... I guess i would just rather have 4 soft keys that 1 hard key.

I love the att note, fast speed, no ugly button on front of phone oh and because it was my only option!
Edit: Battery makes it through my work day just fine, and on this latest Rom I flashed, the battery drains quicker than previous versions. Battery isn't bad considering the size of the screen...

Hey i bought my white note yesterday. I have it stock rooted 2.3.6 with CWM Touch and i am using the T989 ported T-MOBILE radio. So far i love this phone. If that the HTC Amaze 4G the Samsung Galaxy S2 (T989) and note the note on T-Mobile and by far the note is my ultimate favorite. All i am missing is to find a good fast yet battery savy kernel and im good to go.

It depends. The N7000 doesn't support LTE but the i717 does. If this isn't a concern to you go with the N7000 as it has far more development than the i717.
And yeah, the home button (physical) beats four capacitive buttons any day in my book.

It seems people like or don't like the middle button... No in between opinions. I think the middle physical button is ugly. It's the main reason I didn't get the international version. I'm just glad the US version didn't have it or I wouldn't have a note.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The Korean versions have it too.
My previous phone had it. I'd probably prefer it because it means no fourth, "search" capacitive button...which makes using the s pen a lot easier ... at least for me.

I have a black N7000 and white i717 and FWIW the N7000 is easily my favourite. Battery life is approx double, I have flashed nearly every ROM available for both. Cap buttons suck. LTE is a battery-sucking pig and not much faster in my area (Vancouver,Rogers). Better ROMs on N7000, call recording, smoother operation. I haven't found a rom as smooth on i717 as any on N7k. Unlock on N7000 is easy and free. BUT, there's that ssd firmware bug and tiptoeing around every N7000 flash is nerve wracking.
Currently running CM9 on the 717, all stock, it is still laggy/jerky.
What would be the best phone after the Amaze 4G? Please don't flame or troll. Its a simple question.
The Amaze was Amazing, but I am considering other phones, because
a) I hate Amaze's battery life
b) the gpu (Adreno) is not as good as the latest smartphone gpus
c) HTC's support for the Amaze SUCKS limiting the speed of ROM development
d) the storage system format SUCKS. 2GB for apps and games and ~10-12GB for everything else. I have a 32GB sd card, but games and its data can only be allocated to the usable 12-14 GB. I'm a huge gamer, so that sucks so much. PLEASE tell me if yall know of a way to make the data go to my 32GB sd card instead of the INTERNAL sd card.
My two main choices are either the:
One X+ or Galaxy Note II
I want One X+ for HTC's awesome camera technology, Tegra 3 GPU and its exclusive games, 64GB is good enough for me, so I don't need an SD card. Con? I think its only for AT&T and I have SimpleMobile
I want the Galaxy Note II for the 2GB ram, AWESOME battery stats, and the fact that Samsung is better at supporting their phones than HTC plus it is on T-Mobile, so I can use it with SimpleMobile.
I really want to get the One X+, but only being for AT&T sucks. Plus I don't know how short of a time 1GB RAM will be classified as too little in the smartphone gaming world.
Think I'm going for note 2, pre ordered one yesterday from Mobilicity.

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.

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.

After selling my Amaze and having the S3 for about a month. I am starting to miss my amaze. Here are the reasons why:
I miss the fact that it was more sturdy. I dropped my Amaze many times, and never cracked the screen, but I dropped the S3 once, and the screen cracked.
Also even if I did crack the amaze screen, It would only have to spend $70-100 to fix it (compared to $250-300 on the S3).
Comparing the speed, the S3 is faster, but it's not major fast over the amaze. I think the Amaze was just enough for me as speed.
The amaze is a rare phone, but I like that. I like to be different from everyone else. But it's hard to be different when everyone and their mother (literally) has an S3. I'm just getting tired of looking at them. I like having a iPhone if you have an S3.
Last and not least...The Camera. Believe it or not, the Amaze camera is still a tad better than the S3s , and I miss my dedicated camera buttons.
I also saw yesterday that CM10 is coming along great, and the drivers have just been released. So I am going to give my S3 to my girlfriend for her Amaze (as an early birthday gift). I actually cannot wait to come back into the Amaze development. I kinda miss HTC sense, and HBoot lol
I clicked the thanks button by mistake but i got to say i was gonna switch to an s3 and ill still get it or wait for the next galaxy s or a better htc phone... I also think that the s3 camera is still a little lower than the amazes since i compared it to my brothers s3 but i got to say the screen looked great and size felt good on my hand....
Over all the amaze was the first big thing then they killed it with the crappy htc one s for us T-Mobile users they shouldve made it more similar to the one x
"HTC Amaze - Nightmare Sense 1.6"
"HTC Sensation - MIUI"
"LG G2x - Stock and overclocked"
"LG Thrill - Slim Stock Rom"
I was gonna switch to the nexus 4 , but the default launcher/out of the box is too boring for me... I prefer Sense, TouchWiz, stuff like that.
but glad you're coming back!
And did you know that they took the HTC Amaze off of the T-mobile web-site o:

You are aware that there are launchers and CM themes that recreate the experience, right? Also, look into how to sort of recreate the experience yourself or make the screen look like what you want.
I'M OFFICALLY BACK!! I just score a Perfect Condition Amaze for $100 (it was a insurance replacement). I bought it with no battery or cover. I took my girlfriend's extra battery she had, and I just ordered a white battery cover for $7 off ebay (surprised they are so cheap, due to all those antennas arrays in there). So I should hopefully be fully up and running by Thrusday. Now I am going to sell my S3 with a cracked screen, and the other parts I have, and keep some cash in my pocket
Welcome back. With all the talent we have here its only a matter of time before we get cm9, cm10.1 and wificalling up and running in no time. The guys from cm10 have been doing a great job troubleshooting bug tracking and fixing cm10 for our device.

I still have my Amaze after getting the GNote and will have to agree with a lot of what you said. I like that it is different enough and haven't seen one in the part of Va I'm in, of course I can say the same about the Note. I see S3 like it's a common thing to have, like calculators in the 80s and pagers in the 90s. I love the camera and the dedicated camera button, I have to say it is better than the S3 and the GNote. As far as speed it considered I think it's a close tie between the three, put CM9/10 and they seem to run the same, throw Sense or Touchwiz on them and they have their strengths and weaknesses.
Lol

Yeah i know lol, it's just to plain for me
i can see where you're coming from but in all honesty the S3 is a better phone. the amaze did feel better in the hand but the s3 feels fine too
If only there was a Fully working sense 4 for the S3................

Sense on a Samsung device!? Wouldn't that hose up the space/time continuum or something?

Oh...shame, it really is the best Android device. I would get it, but money prohibits me, especially since i have a Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus already...its worth it if you can, especially since you can customize to your heart's content.

yes but devs got it booting on the international S3 and the S2
Since the the One S/X have the same S4 chip its possible i guess

you got me thinking, if i should get it or not again lol . It is true that you can customize it, so i'll look at more reviews to see if there's isn't anything I don't like, so far there's nothing

Ohh no doubt the S3 is a better phone (faster, very nice screen), but I'm basically saying that the Amaze is just enough for me. It does everything I want. And plus the money I save from selling the S3 will go toward a nexus 7 tablet .

I LOVE my Nexus 7. Running PA 2.54 because 4.2 burns battery still a bit too much, so for now im sticking with 4.1. Seriously its so amazing. Its screen may not have the same punch as a AMOLED screen but its still damn good.

+1 for the Nexus7
THE best device for the money. Hands down. Anyone whose wondering, stop and go get it. It's GREAT
