Broken - HTC Amaze 4G

Idk if this is the right thread but I'm running cm10, I live in northern Ontario and for the past month I've been outside all day in the cold, like -20 c, well suddenly now my data stopped working, vibration barely works, I got like 2 hours battery life at the most, etc. and I figured "Must be a CM issue" so I went to stock, thinking it would work, nooope. Same thing. So going back to stock didn't work, any ideas?

Try a different battery if you can. Really sounds like the frost has worn the battery out or it's coincidental. Good luck, Canuck.

Ya, I would say try changing the battery. Someone did a test a while ago where they took 5 phones in put them in something and lowered the temp by 10f every 30 mins. At -10 batteries that had just been charged said low, then I think died at -20. Then at -30 they all had screen problems and battery problems. And I think they almost all stopped working completely at -40. But all they had to do was return the phones to room temperature again and they were all fine. I'll try and find the article but wat I'm saying is I don't think the cold damaged the phone but maybe the battery

They say to store unused batteries in the freezer for that exact reason.

I know that part... except data, stopped working completely, all roms too.. I have no signal right now and I use to have good signal here- not a carrier issue as I had a different sim in with no luck...

I hope you are keeping your Amaze in a warm pocket. I recall seeing a story several years ago about an Air Force plane that overnighted in Fairbanks AK. They were carrying LCD monitors for southeast Asia. Turns out that all the monitors were ruined when their screens froze. LCD = Liquid Crystal Display, and liquid can freeze...
EDIT: having looked it up online, I'm not sure if the story is true or not, but many LCDs seem to have a -40c max storage temperature.

Hmm can't quote you ^^^
Yes its in my pocket its not -40 its like -10 to -35 at most, LCD is fine (thanks for info btw) just data and battery life (even when I don't go outside the battery don't last long, like 2 hours) since data don't work with right APN and everything I'm going to just get another phone, until then gonna try to make it work, any help would be appreciated.

As for the data, you might try replacing the battery cover, which houses the antennas.

Without battery cover it still showed 3g logo and it doesn't show at all now so its a phone issue

Could possibly be due to condensation issues. I had a phone a few years back that suffered in the Ohio winters, which get nasty but don't compare to those temps. Also, as I understand it, cold kills Li-Ion batteries quite nicely.

Are you 100% satisfy with your E3D? Why/why not?
Had mine for two weeks now...
Can't say I'm that happy. Random reboots, reception issues, and things like my battery discharging even though its plugged into my USB annoy me.
Stickin with it though, I have faith in this thing.
I am very satisfied with it in an "off-the-shelf" capacity. There is virtually no lag, and does everything I would expect from a non-rooted phone very well.
I don't have any of the issues though. No reboots, screen issues etc.
Once it is perm rooted it will be perfect.

Am I the only one with a perfect E3D? I've been reading threads from other site as well. A lot of people had problems. On the released date, I called sprint rep to upgrade. Ever since the day I received it, never had any problem, but for some reason still not satisfy. Maybe because there's no permanent root s-off?

Lmao mine takes about 6 to 7 hours to charge and it will sit at 99% and keep charging succks lol think its staying awake .
I was happy with the EVO but not Sprint. Sadly i blows in my area (or PR entirely) dropped calls, goes straight to roaming in the first floor of my house, average data speeds or 200kbps and a all time low of 7kbps etc. It wasnt worth the switch from TMO. Good thing they let me reactivate before 30 days of cancellation and its like it never happened im back at 5mbps land and my phone works at home now horray!!! Bummer since the 3VO was a nice peice of kit

I'm very happy no issues at All!! May be the green tint on the pics but it doesn't bother me.at all cuz of the Camera Effects u can change colors and stuff, battery life has been great
Ohhh I found a bug, my bootloader still says S-Off lol
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
For me i am Happy but would be happier if the stuff was better implemented, seriously HTC no Hardware Acceleration for 2D or Browser, They could have just taken the stuff from CM and put in, Also Animations aren't that smooth, when i plug in via USB the screen responsiveness goes down. 3D is something i am loving. Woulf be happier if they had put in a 8mpx camera in there to go with a 5mpx or just 2 8mpx
This phone gives me a boner every time I turn the screen on.
Everything is pretty much perfect except for the green tint thing and I'm hoping they'll fix that with a future software upgrade. If not, it's still not a deal breaker for me.

Overheating

I know lots of users are experiencing overheating. I'm just wondering if it's all or just a select few of the phones. My phone has been perfect aside from the overheating. No sounds screen or pink button issues. I'm debating whether to call amazon and order a replacement. I'd hate to get one back that has more problems than the one have.

The only time i over-heat is when using the MHL adapter. Havn't tried playing 3d intensive games for longer than 10 minutes, so not sure about that (i'll try later tonight, they won't let me play at work).
Might be that the screen is on too long at high brightness rather than just the processor taking in to many inputs? Or it might be the 4g, cause I was streaming movies when watching on the MHL... it'd be nice to know what people are doing that makes there phones overheat so we can analyze more results.
Never had an overheat on my rezound. I run wifi daily all during work. usually only streaming pandora or gmusic over wifi. netflix on some days but never gets hot. mostly on wifi so not sure about 4G.
With the 4g network down in Chicago yesterday I was plugged into a wall outlet and streaming through a radio feed via dolphin and my phone wasn't overheating in 2g. Coincidence? I think not lol. Will be testing my replacement rezound starting today we will see how this one goes.

Mine was heating up to just below 120. I contacted our rep who offered to switch it out. I told him I'd be happy to just try a different battery, but he said he'd rather switch out the whole thing. 3 days later I have another new Rezound. So far, no heat issues. (Knocking on wood.)
Is the the battery itself or the phone. I got my replacement phone today but has pink buttons so. I'd rather just swap batteries

its through amazon wireless and they give me 30 days from the shipping date to return. They also did overnight delivery for the nes one which was awesome.
anyways I just played a game that over heated my phone to 115 then I stop pulled the battery. I'm waiting a half hour or so so my phone cools down then I'll do the same game with the nee battery and we'll see how that goes. If it over heats I'll repeat the process in the new phone. Sure hope its just the battery
Are you in an area that gets a good data signal? When I was in an area where the phone was working hard to keep the 4G signal,it would warm up.

I have good signal but the 4g is irrelevant to my overheating. I turn it off. Clear all apps. Start the game (little war game or whatever) and it gets over 110 degrees atleast after ten minutes.
original phone overheated both batteries. Testing new phone now

[Q] Top half of phone gets extremely hot.

Anyone experience this? I noticed when my phone is plugged in and i play a game for 5 mins the top half of my phone gets to 47-48 degrees... Almost too hot to hold. When I leave it alone it stays about 10 degrees cooler. Anyone know what might be causing this?

The current to your phone and the addition of you doing something causes the processor to get hot. That's it.

Thanks for bringing this up, it's quite relevant to my interests.
Mine also gets hot. I recently upgraded my folks' phones to ATT Galaxy S II's (non Skyrocket) and they both get very hot when surfing on battery power via data. My battery monitor widget said 103'F at one point.
My Note also feels a little laggy (not hugely so) and has crashed a couple of times. The battery life is atrocious (coming from an iPhone 4)... I'm considering exchanging it at ATT as I'm still well within my 30 days. Rooting and freezing all the usual suspect apps hasn't helped.

Whats weird is that my original one didnt get hot but was laggy and freezing up. This ones the exact opposite.. Fast as hell and hot. Now i did a couple tests and the only difference was that the white on my current phone had a slight yellowish tint on the original. Battery life i get 12-17 hours on both.

My first note would her extremely hot between 117f and 130f while idle on a charger from the top half up. Used a thermal temp sensor from my liquid cooling to measure temp. According to a friend of mine manager at an att, said the heat problem is the biggest for return and that from what he's found out talking a Sammy rep that the cpu and memory in some units through shipping and handling have been loosened from their respective heat transfer system.
So basically manufacture defect and if it gets hot replace it. It'll hurt the internals.

Phone randomly shutting off.

I'll be right in the middle of texting or on Facebook and the phone will randomly shut off, battery life isn't really a factor although it seems the less charge, the more shutdowns. I've had the phone for 3 weeks and it recently just started doing it. I have read up a little bit on the issue and It seems like a faulty battery or a bug in the SD card causes it. I did a factory reset and formatted the SD card and It's still happening. What is the best (Most affordable) replacement battery for these phones? Is the anker a good alternative or just OEM?

I did this and have not had any issues in over a month. I aslo got a new back case by tellin gthem my signal was really unstable. IF you are nice and tell them you dont have a credit card you can get them to escalate it and send without you haveing to give them your cc number.
So the replacement won't have the same problems as the OEM? Did they fix the issue? Why would I need a new back case, what's the point?
So I called. They said I need to provide a CC number, so in case I don't send the defective battery back they can charge me MSRP, how do I request to cancel the order? I think I'm just going to try and trade the phone for something else...
When the phone spazs out, and I turn it back on the battery is about 20% less. I completely drained it, charged it all night and its been on for 4 hours, It's currently at 16%

Note 2 temps?

Got my Note 2 about 2 weeks or so ago and like it so far. However, I notice it runs pretty warm consistently. Using system tuner, the temp is upper 40s°C Most of the time. And this is just sitting in my pocket, not gaming or anything intensive. Anybody experience this? The screen is pretty warm and is even uncomfortable to hold to my ear. Any help is appreciated. I did look and didn't find too many threads about it with the Note 2, and apologize if I missed any. Thanks!

Your device probably has a lack of thermal paste on the motherboard or they didn't put enough past in between the display.

Have you run any benchmarks? If there is an issue then it won't be good for the phone, but it'll tell you if it's throttling from heat issues. You also may be able to trade it at verizon with just the heat issue since it's noticeable so fast, but I'm not sure..
Ran a benchmark and everything seemed fine for that test. I'm resetting it now and will see if that makes a difference. I'm just past the two weeks and know I'd probably get a refurbished if I went to exchange it now. Everything else is working fine, so if this can be figured out then I'd much prefer to keep this one. Thanks for the advice guys. If anyone else knows something else to check before I possibly exchange it, that'd be great!

We have the same issue.. First install the android tuner, remember that the battery temp is not the same as the CPU temp.
I have my note that sits 38-42 CPU temp when Idle and 28-32 battery temp.
When I am browsing I could really feel the heat on the upper part of the screen. my CPU temp rise to 47-50 and my battery temp rises to 32-34.
Check your note.
I was browsing rhrough the forums and saw that you had the same problem too. My CPU temp is about 42C idle and goes up to 50 or just over when doing pretty much anything. My battery is about 33C at idle

Ill check in a little while. I tried resetting it and it was doing better at first but doing the same thing again. Easily going over 50C if I'm just in the camera for about 30 seconds and most ither apps. Might just exchange it, even if I get a refurb, and take my chances

I doubt verizon stores would have gotten refurbished phones by now. I exchanged mine last saturday for other reasons and got a new one.
My phone has never overheated (unlike my Razr maxx constantly did), this thing is a beast.can't wait to get my kickstand case.

Turns out it was an app or two causing it. I think one culprit was running wallpapers through picspeed instead of saving them first. Lesson learned and still monitoring cpu and battery usage. It's now running normal temps (low 30s even 28-29 sometimes when I first wake the screen). Thanks for the advice!
