its a great phone, we have cm coming and almost working 3.5 port. and a update coming not too far, what more can you ask for? lol
the only bad thing about the amaze is the forums, seem to get a lot of people throwing tantrums over not getting ics super fast

lol sensation people are about the same.
any sensation users that made the jump?
Xboarder has a Ics ROM out, not sure hoe developed it is. There is a Ics themed app that is senseless.
If you end up selling your phone, I'm looking to buy.
I would keep it is I were you.

I had the sensation for a couple weeks before I jumped and it was well worth it. main reasons for ME is more RAM, better camera; enough said.
my sensation had a really bad issue with the screen, im sure you could find the thread somewhere in the sensation general forums

Pictures OBVIOUSLY not taken with an Amaze camera
Sent from my Energized HTC Ruby using XDA-Premium or Tapatalk
is tha sensation has still the landscape death grip issue? That is why it keep me holding back to get the sensation and instead got the Aamaze...
I've had the Sensation for about 6 months now (upgraded from N1). I picked up an Amaze 1 week ago and I am also trying to decide if I like it enough to make the switch...
Some observations:
1) I can't figure out how people are holding the Amaze that the protruding screen is a problem. I agree it's not the best design, but overall a non-issue for me.
2) I've noticed a bit of light bleeding up from the bottom of the screen which washes out darker colors. I'm not sure if this is a defect on just my unit?
Edit: I guess this is the known problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488861
3) The colors overall seem to be more saturated and warmer than on the Sensation's screen
4) The camera effects (like vignette and dots) are accessed through a very clunky menu where previews are not provided. Lame.
5) The 2nd camera is MUCH better and actually covered in the front glass, which means it is not CONSTANTLY covered in dust and dirt like the open one on the Sensation.
6) Scrolling around on webpages doesn't feel as smooth as on the Sensation. I keep trying them both side-by-side, but I can't really decide if this is actually true. Maybe the ICS update for the Amaze will help?
Also, when flicking the page up and down, it the Amaze doesn't scroll as fast - is this a setting somewhere perhaps?
7) The Amaze is SIGNIFICANTLY heavier feeling than the Sensation. I think you can feel the difference in thickness the most, despite the Amaze only being 1mm (?) thicker.
8) With the same moderate usage throughout the day, I feel like the Amaze has noticeably longer battery life.

I replaced my sensation with the amazing Amaze about 3 months ago. And I don't have any regret what so ever..sensation is a great phone but nothing like the Amaze...to me the different is like night and day. Or in another word the Amaze is a sensation on steroids... Lol.. The camera,the speed, sound, especially the speaker phone, screen, the over all quality is higher that's beside the solid feel in your hand. The only thing it lacks is the development as every one else mentioned but this is temporary and it's going to be over soon and you will have ton's of roms and mods for this phone...shortly.

i remember i bought the captivate when it first came out (it was soo cool back in the day) and development didnt even pick up till 1 year after. its bene like 2 years since launch and its the most developed phone in XDA i believe. wow. The amaze is simply better then the sensation. The sensation is older therefor has older hardware ,,, the 1GB ram will be noticably better in ICS and its just better to have .. i was going to switch for an S2X but i love the amaze's camera by far the best. i just hope we get sense 4.0 as this isnt that old of a device. Its relativley new (atleast here in canada)

Ever since purchasing this phone, I wish I had ditched TMo and gone to Verizon for the GNex.
I was wanting to ditch Tmo and go to Verizon for the Gnex also but decided to get the Amaze instead. Not one regret. For me at least the service is great and I would be paying almost double with Verizon. I played with the Gnex... Pretty cool and all but when I pick up my Amaze again no regrets.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"
Don't know how accurate that is but Idk why it would take so long to connect.

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.
Shame the amaze is end of the line I actually want to go back to it. The galaxy s 2 with ICS is nice, but for me I really enjoyed messing with the amazes camera and thought sense was really cool.

A, I like that its not made by samsung or htc and ....well the obvious its made by Asus.... Hopefully it doesn't become the phailphone....
Unless I sell this I'm going to wait for s-off and ics.
Once ics comes to the amaze, its gonna make or break this phone, sorry to say.
Im really hoping ics will relly unleash the beast I know this phone is capable of.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
Sorry HTC but you fail. Lets first start off by saying I was by your side in the beginning. But after awhile you realize how much of a dog the EVO is. Unfortunately most wont realize the magnitude of failure till you own a GS3.
It hurts my fingers typing this cause i was so anti samsung. The root of the failure is Sense and it's resource hogging ways. The broken multitasking is just a cover up from HTC to squeeze some performance out of a already sluggish phone. Just hitting the home button is a nightmare with all the loading it does.
HTC's failure rate has been abysmal, base on what I've seen and heard from Sprints corporate store in Burlington Massachusetts.
Im sure I might get flamed from a few people here, but I just wanted to vent my displeasure with HTC and it saddenings me watching this Titanic sink to the level of nokia.
That being said, those wondering if the grass is greener on the otherside? My answer to that is a big hell yeah.

I'm really sick of reading this. The phone feels cheaper, it's plastic. Got it. It's the go-to argument for the EVO being better, we see it in every thread.
I definitely love the build of my phone when I take the case off once a month, but if that's the best you got on EVO 4G LTE vs. GS3, why even post?

Well... Maybe stock vs stock is leaning towards SGSIII, but my overclocked EVO running Viper4G is as snappy as any phone in existence. No Sense reloads. Almost sufficient multi-tasking. Only irritates me like once a week. I love my phone again. Thank you devs.
Plus I have a kickstand that I've used every day of my life, literally, since my OG EVO...

I agree on the multitasking front, HTC should fix it and stop calling it an "intended feature". At the very least stop reffering to it as multitasking, HTC.
While I don't like Sense, you can't really blame HTC for it. Samsung does the same thing with Touchwiz. What we as customers should demand is either a way to disable these third party resource-hogs or petition them to release pure Android builds for their phones (which I believe HTC did for the Desire).
I doubt the above would happen and I refuse to purchase Samsung phones (based on horrible experiences I've had in the past) so what I am really hoping for is for the next Nexus phone to be build by HTC. Awesome hardware and pure Android software would be pure bliss.

This seems to be the Ferrari vs. Lamborghini question.
Sent From My S-OFFed, R00ted, 100% Tricked-Out HTC Evo 4G LTE via XDA Premium!
Coming from someone who just created one of these threads two days ago...here's some advice.
I had the of evo 4g....then the evo 3d....and now I just moved to the Samsung. I don't know yet if I made the right choice but I know that the LTE didn't feel like the right choice either.
Asking these kinds of questions will always give you biased reviews. In the evo forum it stands to reason you'll get plenty of support for the evo. In the galaxy forum you will get support for the galaxy.
Look in both. Do what I did and look at the general ans q&a sections for both, see what the issues and comments seem to be.
My deal killer with the lte was the lack of removable battery. The next big thing were all the sense problems I kept reading about. My wife likes sense and the stock look, so I need stability in the stock setup for her...even if it means switching from sense, which I never used anyway.
Good luck with your decision. It stressed me out a lot because I live on my phone and I've been with htc for so long...but it didn't feel right this time. Maybe when that rumored superphone comes out things will change...

Except the non-removable battery. I personally don't care, but apparently some people drain three batteries a day. That would be a legitimate deal breaker for some. However, OP, the battery life is outstanding so don't be put off by this unless you are the type who streams music 12 hours a day and switches batteries regularly.

I would say go with the s3 since your used to touch wiz ,even though the screen is saturated and pentile,the 1280x720hd reso helps that. Personally I have the EVO 4g LTE,its rooted and I love it to death. I don't see how a device this fast with just 2000mah could have such amazing battery life.the sgs3 should have even better battery life with that samoled screen.

They are both the same technically hardware wise its more of a personell opinion I had the s3 felt like a piece of plastic in my hand, the lte felt like how a phone should be solid yet light weight plus I live the dedicated camera button and I love showing off how many pics i can take and still be crystal clear ,plus the s3 screen is way to saturated for my eyes, when I play on my bros phone its like I'm playing halo haha and when I go back to my phone its like real life haha---my opinion
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I think they are both very good phones. Also, you can always get roms installed, so talking about software is pointless. The one thing that I really prefer about the evo over the s3 is the lack of physical home button. That's a button you use a lot throughout the day, so there's a chance the s3's home button will get wonky down the road. That's my feeling, since I experienced issues with the home button on my old iphone 4 two months before my contract ended. So the decision was easy for me, as I didn't want to experience issues with a home button again.
I've got the 4G LTE. So far I've liked it but if I had the chance to do it over I would get a SGIII. I've had some annoying things happen to my LTE and although I love the beautiful screen I have a feeling I wouldn't have had those problems with the SGIII. The two main problems I've had are that the phone actually bent one day while in my pocket. It was minor and I bent it back straight but I think the upper portion of the phone above the kickstand is a major weak zone in the Aluminum unibody. My other issue is that the camera broke and I'm in the process of shipping it back to HTC for warranty repair. So at this point after owning the phone for 9 weeks I don't have much faith that the repaired product won't suffer same fate.
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.

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
