Hello All,
So OwatchOn does not work. Is there a way to keep the screen on longer than 30 minutes? I'm more concerned with telling the time than with battery life, which has been pretty good so far (3G and WiFi on, no BT or GPS). Thanks in advance.

well, thanks for the reply--and for the thanks!
Leaving the screen on while doing nothing at all in airplane mode will kill the battery in 6 - 8 hrs.

just flashed to UA v1.2.. but still the same.. enabled the setting as well.. sigh... anything that u have done to ur ace?
It also depends on the availability of wireless networks in your area. Try enabling your wifi as well. Google has a database of WiFi AP MAC addresses and the corresponding location. Kinda awesome, kinda freaky. Here in South Africa the list isn't too spot on, but it will atleast get you into the correct suburb (must say, I have only tested this in a very small town). Worth a try

I can't think of anything else. I have very good 3G coverage and 500MB data plan. Maybe there is a problem with your network coverage, but that's strange because what ever the coverage quality is phone just needs a couple of KBs for a fix.
Maybe this will help!
You can look at this thread...
Please press thanks if it was helpfull!

First of all, Android is an operating system and Nokia is a brand. Second, On Android you can set the phone not to use network data for GPS which will greatly increase the time needed for GPS fix. Nokia works exactly the same way, if A-GPS is turned on you get a quick fix, if it's off you don't. My Ace works perfectly and gets a quick fix. Oh, and I almost forgot, Nokia is crap. .I.
first of all.. .thx for the reply so much...
fyi, i didnt turn on network data for gps, i am only using gps alone to get my position, although it do get locked after few minutes... but the tftt is too long..
my frd using nokia 5800, he was able to get lock within 10secs w/o network..
thats the reason i am wondering how can i get faster lock..
may i ask how can i turn on the A-gps? i update it quite frequently using gps status..
is that means i have ady turn it on?
thx!
I have got Amaze last week, but there are two main problems with this device.
First, the "power off" button doesn't work sometimes, no responses when I long press the button.
Second, after installing some apps(about 60), wifi has some problem---when the
screen off and I open again, the wifi is automatically cut off. Even though there is a wifi "label" on top of the screen, I can't browse internet. Then I manually cut off the wifi and connect again, it works. But everytime the screen closes( u know, it is unwise to keep the screen always on), the wifi will be cut off automatically. I don't know the reason. I have changed a new one this week but same problems arise!!! I am driven crazy!!! Could sb nice to help me????
besides, I have tried "factory reset", and problems will go. but when I install apps again, problem rises again...
I'm having the same issue with the power off. It was working earlier but it looks like it stopped after I applied the htc update. I've been working all day and that's the only change
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
htc maybe do the same error like nexus one :/
I have issue even before update!! then how do u deal with the problem now???
what is the problem with nexus one???
to solve the wifi problem....
go to settings, then click on wireless and networks,
scroll down to wifi setting and click
On the wifi settings page touch the second capacitive button on the phone, then click on advanced settings..
On advanced settings page, change the wifi sleep policy to never..
This should solve your problem
same problem happened to me today, data reset the phone power off button problem will be resolved.
I'm having this problem now...and the wifi fix didn't work.
Any other ideas?

Our power buttons were notorious for just not working one day.
I am noticing quite a bit of light bleed onto the screen from the soft key LEDs ... Does anyone else notice this, or is it the nature of the beast? I am used to amoled screens, but this screen is beautiful.

Does anyone have a solution to the power-button issue? It will shut off the screen, but wont prompt anything if you long press the power button.
---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------
Found this surfing:
"Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with not being able to power off your device Amaze device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. You have security credentials checked, a password set,and Fastboot off. You must either turn off security credentials or enable Fastboot. For the Fast Boot option to work you will need to re-enable the Storage Credentials(under security settings) and enter the password once more. Then, enable Fast-Boot and you should be able to safely power cycle."
That last one worked for me. Not sure *which* - I turned on fastboot *and* turned on security credentials.
* edit *
But after the test reboot, it stopped working again...check settings, and security credentials is off - but fastboot is still on.
Turn on security credentials again, and the power button starts working.
I'm not going to re-re-reboot it, though...yet.
i was thinking of getting the HTC Amaze.... like, next week, currently have the MyTouch 4g and was going to give it to my brother, but have been reading issues with the power button, over heating, BT loss, no wifi calling..... anyone having these issues as well?

I just picked up my Amaze today. I had gotten a new SIM card just two weeks ago, but the TMO folks said I had to use the one that came with the Amaze because it supported the high speed downloads; older cards would not be as fast.

I have spotty 4G coverage here. My old phone was the HD2, which is 3g. Just today I happened to get into a 4G solid area and I loaded Google Maps - nearly instant load of terrain and satellite. Those would have taken several seconds on my HD2, or my wife's Exhibit II. So I think it is indeed faster if one lives in the right area.
I can't say what difference there is in SIM cards, because I have only had the new one that came with the Amaze in the device.
Hi,
I have a very strange and annoying problem, hope you'll can help me.
When I turn on WiFi/tethering everything's okay, but after I turn them off my phone becomes laggy and reboot it it's the only way to fix that.
It happened with every ROM and every kernel I've used.
Why does it happen? Anyone else have/had this problem? Is there any way to fix it? It is really annoying to reboot after every WiFi or tethering use, and I don't want to leave it on because of the battery.
Thanks and sorry for any mistake in my English.

Maybe the reason is cuz some apps/services can't connect to the internet
Try factory reset from xRecovery

It's probably because tethering uses much CPU power and some services are shut down by the system and after you turn off tethering, they are restarted.

It happens after disconnecting a simple WiFi connection too, not only tethering.
I really don't understand this. It has never happened to me with other phones that I had in the past and I can't realize what's different now.

check my sig.
Yes, I have searched the forum but only found old posts, nothing pertaining to ICS about this.
I've had this problem since 2.3, and it's kinda annoying.
When I press the unlock button it takes around 2sec for the phone to wake-up.
I thought this was supposed to be fixed in the verisons after 2.3, and now I have 4.0.3 and it's still present.
Anyone else have this problem?
Is it a Google or Samsung problem. Can it be remedied?

Well if you want, you could stop your phone going into deep sleep and have less battery life

I have same problem with any stock or custom rom and is verry annoying.
It's normal. I use CM 9 and I'll hit the home button on my sleeping phone now...and it took around 1 second to wake up.
There isn't anything you can do about it.
As Riz said last month, would you rather your phone deep sleep & conserve battery when you're not using it & take a second to wake up or would you rather have a permanent wakelock & resultant battery drain in order to have it wake up in a few tenths of a second ?
I mean, we are talking about a second here. Not half a minute or something.
Yay! You got a new sig!
It always makes me wonder what people expect with these threads....it's like when you wake a pc up - it isn't instantaneous...and is a second really too long to wait?
Yeah I couldn't resist ;-)
Yep you're right. People do expect too much sometimes, as you said, how long does a PC take to wake up from hibernation ? Phone takes no time in comparison.

So, as the title says hardware problem and there are few things I want to know about. Have anyone got the problem about power button position on the inside is lower than the volume buttons? My bro and me got the same XU and never have problem except this one. My Xperia U has the lowest power button than my brother. If that's my phone's factory fault, can I repair it by disassemble it and settling the buttons back? I got no problem but I have to press hard for power button and there are no pressable home button to wake my device up. My problem is normal or not? Please answer me dear bros. Thanks.

If you have a guarantee, I'd recommend you take it to the store since its a factory problem. If you don't have a guarantee, there's some apps which let you use the volume buttons to turn the screen on. I don't know the names since I've never used one but I've seen it in here so you can use the search bar to look for them

They told me to wait for changing my handset dear bro. I'm waiting. Everything's went so bad. They told me that it wouldn't gets so wrong. But it's definitely sure that I have very stupid power button. You're right bro. I should have brought my brother handset, too. Now I'm in anxiety because it's only one week old. Now, I press so hard the power button and it annoys me. Anyway, I thank you so much for helping me out. Now I'll have to wait for answer.
