Last night my inner nerd almost gave in >.< pretty good price, For one day only though. It would have been awesome to hav both the glorious amaze and galaxy nexus. I decided to keep my money and just wait for the nexus tablet or the rumoured G4X. Are any of you guys Device junkies?

I know that feeling of excitement from just thinking about getting a brand new device, but I'm a brokeass university student, so I've had to learn to resist the temptations
Yeah I get so impatient =[ I usually jump into buying devices without much thinking lol

I'll tell you a short story, my mom was gonna buy me a full priced phone from tmo cuz my other phone broke, I've always loved rooting and roms and whatnot. I was looking at the sensation roms, and I decided that was the phone I would get. When I got to tmo, I saw the amaze, and I loved it, so I went with it, hoping the community for it would be as big as the sensation one is.

I considered getting the galaxy nexus... But it is a Samsung... So I got the amaze
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I actually bought mine on contract...I saw reviews online and everyone seemed blown away by the build quality. When to tmobile a week later. EASILY my favorite phone I've ever owned. Although I am a.flashaholic, I normally flash roms every few days (on my G2) now I been on bulletproof for a few weeks. Big change lol

lol what's wrong with samsung? I had a Vibrant and then used the galaxy s 4g for a year without any problems and the dev community was overflowing. I was actually gonna buy the nexus s but then I spotted the HTC amaze 25$ cheaper than the nexus s so I bought it immediately just for a change.

My brother had the galaxy s 4g and now has the galaxy s2, they feel So light, cheap and plastic-e. Like, it drives me insane. I'm probably being anal about it but still. Also that horrid touchwiz. Yes you can download launchers but you can never really get rid of it.
I just really like sturdy solid hardware. Just my personal preference and taste

My coworker got the vibrant same time I got the mt4g. Case closed. Cheap build quality, overrated screen, touchwhiz, and just not as solid as HTC imo.
Dev community has VERY LITTLE to do with phone quality. MOTO Cliq XT has more dev than Amaze... Means nothing.
It's a personal preference debate though. I haven't seeen a Samsung phone that I was wow'd by since their t809 lol
Love their TVs though
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Ya it is personel preference cause some people say they prefer light weight and touchwiz over sense. I admit the build quality of previous Samsung phones are not that great but the galaxy nexus feels solid.
The galaxy nexus gsm version is still available for same price, incase some missed it from daily steals. Its the docomo japan version though, however tmobile 4g works on it as it has 1700 band.
Code:

The only reason for me, if I goto to samsung side is better battery life because of samoled screen. Amaze eats up battery like anything when display is on, and I'm guessing its the same for it also because of its 720p screen.
Yes it does have ICS now but once amaze gets ICS (which it will sooner or later), Amaze will become the better phone due to its higher network speed and better camera...
So I would be basically be paying almost 500 for an OS that can be flashed to my phone for free in a few months lol I think the amaze is way better phone but I'm getting really impatient with this ICS update lol

I can't believe all this Samsung hate haha, after the Amaze, I'm never buying another HTC phone. The build quality is nice but I don't like to be carrying a brick around. Also, if the phone ever drops, it's almost a guaranteed dent on the heavy metal body as opposed to light flexible plastic absorbing the shock. I also can't stand HTC claiming to be dev friendly when they lock their bootloaders and won't even release WiFi drivers for the Amaze - this is probably my biggest turnoff. I still love the HTC Amaze, but Samsung suits my preferences more.

+1 my vibrant slipped out of my hand 3 times and fell on the floor but not a dent or scratch. My friend and me were debating between his iphone and my vibrant and I accidently brought up how the vibrant's screen is scratchproof so he took his key out and scratched my phone but there was no scratch at all
I've dropped my G2 about 10 Times, not a single dent or scratch (just the back cover because it peels after a period of time, not caused by dropping) my friends galaxy s2 (ATT version) after three weeks, dropped it once and got 3 small scuffs on the right hand corner (near power button). Now I could only imagine dropping it 9 more times. =\

I think it all depends on the drop circumstances, one drop from shoulder height can devastate your phone more than 10 drops from waist height... There's also drop angle too, but in general, I think light plastic would be able to take more abuse than a heavier and more rigit material

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.

Hi all. Engadget has just released their review of One X+. Just wanted to share.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/31/htc-one-x-plus-review/
They basically say;
- Sense has improved and runs a bit smoother.
- Front camera has drastically improved.
- Battery life is same as One X.
- There is only one color option which is black matte.
- Photo and video quality is same as One X and they think it lags behind the competition.
- The processor is faster and it shows itself in real world usage.
- Camera lens is still prone to scratch.
- Taking photos is even faster.
- Volume is significantly higher with Beats Audio enabled.
and so on...
So basically not really worth upgrading once the one x receives jelly bean?

It's a personal preference. It brings faster performance, 64 GB storage, probably less problematic hardware than One X (remember wifi, screen problems of One X) and more.. They just say if it was using S4 Pro it would have had better battery life but still it's a lovely phone.

I would buy One X or One X+ only if I like Sense. Well, I do but I couldn't buy One X since it had hardware issues when I was looking for. Maybe HTC solved these issues, we will see but right now if I had a solid One X without problems, I wouldn't buy One X+. If I had GS3, I would still buy it because missed Sense as I'm using GN right now.

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.

Anyone here with a HTC one who previously owned a Samsung Galaxy phone?
I've been thinking about the HTC One and would like to know your thoughts.
Moved to proper section, please read and respect the rules before posting.
Thanks,
It's much faster but the buttons are in the stupidest places possible.

I moved from the HTC Aria to the Samsung Captivate, S2, and S3. I love the HTC One. There are little things like zoom that I don't like, but overall I'm pleased.
To be honest, I probably would have went to the S4, but the physical home button on the S3 turned me away.
They are both great phones and you should be happy either way you go.

I had a galaxy s2 and and galaxy note 1. I loved them both and they did their job nicely.... But.... I just never like the build quality, plastic just doesn't do it for me. I found myself going back to my old HTC inspire all the time just because I like the feel of the aluminium. I caught back and forth between the s4 and the one. I choose the one for a few reasons: the body is awesome, the screen is insane, feels amazing in your hand. I hate buttons, I lactually like the HTC setup of home and back only. The s4 cool features I realized I would never use, only to show off with haha. And most of all for me, the camera on the one in low light is freaking amazing!! I live were there's no sun, so this is a big deal for me. Hope this helps, and go ahead and ask any questions or concerns, I am well experienced in both phones.

Lol I believe everyone had to go through the tough decision between the HTC One and the S4. I sure did...I stayed at BestBuy for about an Hour before I walked out with the One. The phone is incredibly smooth out of the box, very snappy and the screen is beautiful (accurate). The battery is good but it is no Note 2. I guess HTC kept a 2300mAh battery to keep the phone thin. You won't feel any creeks when you hold or squeeze the device unlike the S4. No doubts at all. I also came from the Old Galaxy Note and now, I'm missing the large display. I don't like how the Note 3 looks so I'm waiting for the HTC One Max!

Thank you all! Im glad you shared your thoughts.
The One is the best aesthetically IMHO. Tired of the plastic galaxy phones. Just wasnt sure about battery and GUI.

I like sense a lot better than touchwiz. Battery is pretty good. I prefer the one over the s4.

I just ordered a black HTC One. :fingers-crossed:
Was debating between S4 and HTC One. Wanted something different for a changed, currently using an AT&T Galaxy SII I-777.
HTC One for $120 instead of S4's $150 upgrade price.

It looks better, it feels better, it's more responsive, the screen looks better to me, the audio is better, camera is good(not quite as good as s4). Sense is better to me than tw.
Play with them both. I'd be surprised if you like the s4 better. They're both good phones though. I just think the one is better.

How about flashing roms? The s4 has some issues with mf3 firmware. only root now, no custom recovery.

Our recoveries are all fine. The only issue is if you update your hboot you might have trouble with s-off. But right now there are ways around it. All is good over here and we can use all the international roms as well.

Thanks @xcrazydx. I appreciate your comments. You make a good case for the one. Still loving the rocket though so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Might just keep it until it dies.

No problem dude. I am liking the one. The volume and power buttons are in a stupid place but I'm used to it now. I still love the skyrocket as well. It is a great phone.

I just switched from the S4 and I could not be happier. It feels more solid than the S4.

I had the One a couple months ago for a while, have an S4 now. If the two phones could procreate and make one phone with the best features from both, it would be the best. Loved the audio and metal frame of the One, but no removable battery and no MicroSD. I think the S4 runs a lot more smoothly, and has more flexibility with the SD, but rear speaker makes sound quallity ridiculous. Also my biggest complaint right now with Samsung is the MF3 update that locked down the bootloader (aka no custom ROMs). HTC gives you instructions on their website to unlock the bootloader (unless something has changed since I had my One). Albeit I'm still preferring the S4.

I'm not sure how you figure the s4 is smoother. It's definitely got lag and it's choppy. The one does not lag and it's not choppy. I've had both and the one is far better in transitions and feel.
You are right about not having removable battery or sd card. I do miss those from my galaxy devices. That and the button placement are my only complaints with the one.

The One feels much smoother than the S4. Not saying the S4 is slow...but it doesn't feel as snappy as the One. Maybe because all those touchwiz features are memory hoggers.

I found the OS sluggish on the One. I do have to specify I never had the stock rom though. When I got the phone it had been rooted and flashed, although I had installed a rom that was supposedly "stock" with just upgraded kernel. Maybe I didn't get the same experience as you because of that.
Also I forgot to mention the lack of a home button. Ridiculous. I tried the logo2home mod but that's still IMO a major design flaw of the One.
