I have a little dilemma. I have had this my touch 4g for a while now and love it. I am currently rooted running ics on my phone. The fact that I am a flashaholic and it seems lately new things are coming out for this phone every week or so, makes it even better.
My girlfriend just got added to my plan so we ordered a HTC amaze 4g because it was free. And after looking at the amaze section it doesn't seem likes there's much going on.from what I read they are stuck on drivers. Yet the amaze it set to get the official ics update.
All that being said my girlfriend had a flip phone so anything is an upgrade for her. Which phone should I take and which one should I give to her.

I keep hearing that they have s-off on the Amaze, but it hasn't been released yet...but that's just what I read on here. I don't know it to be a fact. But I would probably take the Amaze if it were free, because I have found out recently that I don't prefer ICS. Not that I'm knocking mt4g, its still my favorite, but I feel like the Amaze will explode in development soon...

I thought the same thing but then I saw that there isn't even çm7 for the amaze which kind of made me worry about development. Thanks for your reply though

Ive heard that the Amaze is a great phone, but time is ticking and the development window is getting smaller by the day. Without development going on currently, people will probably move to a new device sooner.
Just my two cents.
If you want a device for development, go for some thing else like sensation or upcoming one s. If you want a great device that works, go for the amaze.
I got the amaze for my girl and Im switching to it too.
Honestly, if you want great developer support and lots of ROM options, you should go with a Nexus. Be it a nexus S or the galaxy nexus. They tend to have the liveliest dev groups. however, if you are into sense ui, it might not be the best choice.
Forget everything. Go for the amaze. They have s-off.
Amaze is a beautiful powerhouse

The only thing I am worried about from taking the amaze is the battery life

Hell yes. Official ics. I'm grabbing me an amaze asap now. That's all I was waiting for. My girl already has the amaze, so I'm installing the official ruu as soon as I get home
I have been wondering why the Amaze had just about died before it ever lived...its just too nice of a handset to not be customized. Id absolutely rather have it than the OneS

+1 Word, never even considered the one series devices one bit. Long live AMAZE!
Well after playing with the galaxy note i bought for my gf a few days ago, i decided i couldn't take it any longer so i went to phones 4 u and asked what they could do for me. They have paid what i had left on my contract 7 months early for me and given me a galaxy s2 for free on a £20.50 p/m orange contract.
Not a bad deal i don't think.
I'll still pop in every now and then though as i still have a wildfire at home and dont want to get rid of my introduction to android, thanks to everyone that has shared anything i used and for teaching me how to get the best out of my phone.

cool good choice
see you in the sg2 section

This section will miss you and all your threads and help. Good luck with your GS2.

Mate, that was quick lol. The itch took over quicker than i expected. Sg2 is prob my realistic expectation too and for about the same £pm but on 3. Keep in touch mucca and all the best with the new toy. Its gonna be like losing an arm
I was just about to post another thread but oh well
Yesterday I received my HTC One S on contracts, 25.92 p/m for 12 months, 260 or something upfront.D) I've always loved Willy, he is the best legend to date and I don't think I can sell him
Being with Willy has been a rollercoaster, I learnt about rooting through it, my first two roots were with two Wildfires. I couldn't take Sense anymore, so I got CM7, and then eventually we got CM9!! (Well done to Erwin, if I can find his donation link I will most definitely donate)
I'll still hang around on the CM9 thread and a few others, though now I'll mostly post on the One S forums, hope to see you guys there
cya
Congrats! See ya around on the S2 section!
Bye scratch and thanks to all your work.
We'll all definitely miss you here
*SNIFF*
Here goes another valuable member from the wildfire forum.
BTW maybe you'll see me soon in the SGS2 forum.
If not then I'll go for a galaxy note (I like big screens )

Thanks everyone and Congrats on the one s mate, hope you enjoy it as much as i am the s2. I thought id wait a little while before rooting but ended up rooting it today, its a bit confusing reading all the info but i ended up doing it in 3 and a half minutes without even touching my pc........
First flashed temp cwm from stock recovery, then flashed supersu to get root, after that boot into recovery and flashed siyah kernel. Full cwm, root and plenty of tweaks to play with. Just need to decide on a Rom now.
Oh...... The note is a real beast of a phone, hope you have big hands our lass doesn't.

Thanks everyone and scratch, I haven't managed to root mine yet - we don't have Revolutionary yet, and I'm scared if I root it using HTCDev they won't take my phone in for service if I ever need it. And there aren't many ROMs, most are Sense 4.0 based, except for the Alpha 10 CM9 port!

Gl with your new phone, i ditched one s because they are not shipping it with krait here and are using piece of crap s3 instead.
Really crappy move from htc.
Now i dont know which one to get, plastic fantastic samsung is not for me, all others either, so that only leaves me with htc. They ruined a perfect phone.

Today I sold my tmous hd2, it was a great phone. The power button was in pretty bad shape but working and the home key was getting a little noisy but the phone was in great shape overall and the sale was equitable for both of us. That phone was the reason I found xda forums, I was getting ready to take it back and was searching for reasons why the phone sucked so bad, and found xda. I ran multiple energy roms, dual booted multiple versions of android, and finally aokp nand. Thanks all who answered my stupid noob questions and thanks devs for all the hard work. Gonna miss that phone.

Just wondering what phone are you using now, post-HD2?
Currently using Samsung galaxy s2. But will soon be switching to an s3

As with so many other people, my phone contract has expired. As such I now have a beautiful Xperia T to replace my X10 with. However two years together with it can't be so easily forgotten so it is with a heavy heart that I say good bye to this corner of XDA. It has been quite a journey- the debate if we would get gingerbread, about dual touch, the 16m colour screen? I remember it all! I was here when the founders of the X10 community were eager- DoomLord, Trip'n'raver, Z, J rdannar and all the countless others. In the past year however, they have been replaced with the likes of ChampionSwimmer, Amin, WolfBreak, FeraVolt and Vasishta Reddy. So the X10 thrives and survives! Although I will no longer have the device I will still check in ocassionally and if I can share what I have learnt in the past 24 months I will do so gladly. To the Devs all I can say is keep on rocking and make our x10 shine! To the users, obey the forum rules and keep faith
Galcactus,
Barnaby

The xperia T is an amazing phone,my upgrade is due in November and it will be tough to leave the x10 and the community. My next phone will most likely be a SONY, have fun with your T.

just out of curiosity...why Sony as ur next device???
A combination of ui, the specs and that I love Sony's designs! I was so envious of the arc! The t was all I wanted and more! Factor in the my fan boy attitude and the James bond stuff it was ideal! HTC I don't like the ui, same as Samsung. IPhone I say no to on principle and the others aren't nice...

Hey Galcactus,
I can understand leaving this community isn't nice. There has been a great development and there is a great community-feeling.
I recognize everything you've said. I also was there in the early days (remember the F5 party's on TripNRaver ROMs).
But good stuff ends some days.
Even that my subscription has ended already (beginning of september) I'm still using it, with my x10.
Newer subscriptions cost me more money. So I'm thankfull that there still are dev's for x10, that can give me ICS.
Anyways, have fun with your Mr. T!

Just bought my SGS2 moving from my LG Optimus One.

Also development galore!

Welcome, sir! You won't regret with your decision of getting an S2. Just keep your mind open. There are a lot of things that you can read everywhere that might lead you to regretting. But as long as you keep your mind open, you'll be fine.
Enjoy your S2 and enjoy your stay here.

Or the terrible sound quality thanks to the Yamaha audio chip?

In some countries you cant buy an cheaper but better phone then S2, even with all his flaws.
Maybe an iphone 4,4s second hand.
Galaxy powered by GM and Dorimanx.
a second hand phone was an absolutely NO for me, it just ruins the purpose of getting a NEW phone
As for the issues, i'm stunned by the 5.1quality when i plug in my headphones (Leona Lewis ft Avicii - Collide was the first track i tried)
and that camera issue was a luck based issue just like the yellow tint on Xperia S.
The only worthy contender was the HTC One S, but in India it comes with a S3 processor instead of S4.. :thumbdown:

I would only consider sound quality terrible if I hear it sound terrible. It doesn't. Out of two options for judging a sound -- reading about it, or hearing it myself -- my choice is obvious. I personally find the S2 sound very good (not awesome, comparing to some other devices, but still very good). Sure, there are other people that don't like it -- I am fine with that, let them get another phone...
Well I bought mine 3 days ago so welcome to me!!!
