You can always try a different launcher.
I think that for some custom roms (specifically xboarder56's) you can disable the 3D effects by a Tweaks app that comes pre-installed in the rom.

This device is more complicated than that.
However once you unlock your bootloader it's fairly simple.
I know NRGs Energy ROM also has the tweaks to disable the carousel and 3D widgets if you want. I actually think it's XBoarder's tweaks app just borrowed.
Like binary said, it's rather simple to unlock and root, just very time consuming on this device compared to many others. Binary put together great step by step instructions.

Everyone has a different opinion on battery life. I typically get anywhere from 16 to 28 hours of battery life depending on amount of use. Got the same on stock ROM with brightness turned all the way down.
If you like Aosp go with galaxy nexus. There is no telling when we will get Aosp Ics. If you prefer Sense though definitely go with the amaze. Its a great phone hardware wise! The real big difference is the software and camera. If the camera is a big thing for you maybe the amaze is the way to go. Its a much better camera.
Great phone, there are only two issues that my phone has:
+The capacitive lights bleed onto the main screen.
+The flash for the camera bleeds into the lens.
Besides that everything works perfectly!
Concerning battery: for me if my phone stays on standby it will last for days, but if i use it heavily it'll give me a good day's use out of it.

as far as battery life goes, mine usually lasts a day (at least 20 hrs), so in that respect i think it's pretty good especially since my old mt4g struggled to get even that lol
I would say save your upgrade for the next new phone.

ya actually that sounds like really good advise especially seeing that the htc ville is just around the corner, might as well get that
its like the amaze but thinner/lighter not to mention ics and sense 4.0, so basically better lol
Thanks alot guys ! Well im quite desperate to change my old x10 lol will get the amaze !

I was also torn between these two phones myself. I decided to settle with the Amaze due to the mediocre camera on the galaxy nexus, and also the lack of expandable memory (they seriously seemed to have pulled an Apple with this). The nexus does have the 720p screen (pentile though), but the Amaze offers the perfect blend of screen size and resolution. It seems like we do have a few hardworking devs, so it’s a matter of time before more jump ship to Amaze with more ROMs available.
One of the reasons I went with the Amaze was due to the back of the phone. I actually think hardware wise it is one of the nicest phones out there.
Like others mentioned, battery life just depends how you use it. I get between 8-14 hours depending on my day. That is quite a few 20 minute or so phone calls, texting a good amount, web browsing, g-talk quite a bit and a little BT streaming of music and movies. Streaming of the music and movies will really suck it down quick though. I know someone else who has a black Amaze and.gets 5 hours, but he is always downloading movies and streaming music.
It really is a great phone and it does have a good camera, just have to have decent lighting for a good picture.
Might run into a couple small issues like light bleeding into the screen from the soft keys lighting up. There are a couple apps out there to shut them off. I believe the G-Nex suffers from the same exact thing. That and the flash bleeding when taking a pic. I personally have yet to have that happen though. Seems common enough though.
Good luck! There are some good peeps on this board and especially in the Amaze section.

There's a thread somewhere on here about it, but the gist of it is that the dual flash isn't confined/separated enough from the lens so sometimes you get some light bleed on the bottom (or however you hold your phone while taking a pic).
Supposedly you can fix it with a tiny piece of electrical tape, it basically mimics the effect of putting the dual flash in a housing unit (like the sensation has). I haven't noticed it enough yet to do that, but it does bug me that HTC produced this phone without fixing that...haha

I'm thinking of getting the S3 again for the rom/root. I dont want to unlocked my HTC One X with HTCDev because I do not wish to void warranty . So I was wondering are there any issues that I should look out for when getting a SGS3? I read the general section and I didnt see any.

Well most of the physical issues include some black spots/marks on the screen when switched off(apparently prevalent in all a amoled screens, slight heating at the bottom and physical faults with the body. Can't remember some of the others. Quite frankly I haven't encountered any problems with mine. The phone is a bit fragile though so handle with care. Best thing is to examine the phone properly for factory faults when buying it

Are they visible on low brightness? Or do you need to be on a pitch black screen in a very dark room.

Well before the one x and galaxy nexus I used to just buy a phone without thinking. Now I'm constantly looking for defects in phones :/

I know im voiding my warranty with samsung but I can easily make it look like I never touched the phone you cant with HTCDev.
Any banding on white/grey images? Like the galaxy nexus. This is generally on low brightness.
While I love my S3, I still think the screen sucks VS one X or iPhone 4s. Pentile is pentile I guess, because in the text it is very noticeable.
That being said, it is still the phone I'd choose at the moment. I don't trust the One X hardware quality long term.
Is the black dots that are on the screen the same thing as on the Galaxy Note known as "Black Crush"??
No I think black crush is something to do with the display being dark in videos. I'm not sure.

Running my mind ragged whether I should get the S4, the HTC One or the Moto X (or Droid Maxxx) (I know I know, camera. I know.)
What I was wondering was, since the S4 is Super AMOLED, does it have the ability to incorporate the active display that the Moto X has or is Super AMOLED a totally different beast?
Ehh it can.. But it doesn't have the Motos low power chip to handle the notifications and pulse the screen, so any 3rd party app you install to do it, will kill your battery.

Now that you mentioned that, I remembered reading that somewhere else.
It's crazy that in this day and age we haven't yet a phone that can provide 3 things: 1)amazing build quality with loud calls 2) a great camera 3)extremely long battery life/battery saving processing

Agreed, I do like the s4 more than I figured I would tho, signal reception is just as good as the razr hd it replaced, (was worried as every sammy I had before had horrible reception), Battery life really isnt bad and I regularly get 24 hrs with normal use, the screen is absolutely beautiful, performance is great, and the camera just blows the razr hd's away. I miss being unlocked sometimes, but I thought id be returning this and ended up keeping it.
I live in a rear apartment. Reception I believe will always btw horrible bit o believe that build can decrease reception, rendering awful reception non-existent, so I think that may be my number one priority. I have two kids and I love the S3 camera... maybe I'll get the S4 and put a GE Rom on.

It hasn't mattered to me that much since usually when I get to flashing roms on a phone it's because the stock rom is god awful slow, but this phone is so fast it doesn't bother me. I can imagine a nice rom on this runs pretty sweet though.
I just hate hate hate touchwiz. Also.I can do without the gazillion extras they added.... I really don't need so many tricks for the camera. Just hood hardware and snapseed

I hear you, I dont use any of the extras with this phone, and nova went on before the end of the first day, already froze most of the TW stuff, I do like all the stuff the camera can do, but as long as the AOSP cam can take good pics Id be ok with that too, the TW cam does take some pretty nice pictures though Been quite impressed actually.

I think the hardware is solid... so any software lumped on to pilot it will do well. I tend to like the uncluttered look and feel of the stock camera. I am going by today to check out the s4 again. If the X is really out one the 29th, it would give me one day to make a decision in order to take advantage of the $50 + $10 off coupons.

Really don't think you can go wrong between the two, I had actually picked this up because I sold my Razr HD, and could not stand using the LG Ally backup phone I had any longer, knowing I had 14 days to decide I grabbed the S4, and its what im gonna keep. Good luck with whatever you choose!
Can't say that I love to many things aside from family, my girl, and my corvette..... Today I got my Zu and I can add it to the list. This phablet is phenomenal. There really isn't a better word to describe it. I've had all the best phones ever made and this one puts all of them to shame. Sure the camera and speaker aren't anything special but this screen and smooth performance helps you forgive that very quickly. Anyone on the fence about getting one get off that fence and scoop one up. You won't regret it.

It's indeed amazing :good:
Yeah, I usually take my Nexus 4 to work with me, since I'm too busy to actually use my phone at work and so it would be pointless to carry around the XZU, so I frequently have 3-4 day stretches in which I don't use the XZU. Whenever I switch back for school or off days, it's kind of like turning it on for the first time again. The change is so nice.

Congrats. I plan on getting the Z Ultra later this month along with the Sony power case. It'll be replacing my ancient Xperia x10a, and while it will be monsterous in my shirt pocket, it will be glorious to use.
I'll also be picking up a new VAIO Flip 13" model to replace my old Sony Tablet S. Between that and the Z Ultra, my mobile experience should be amazing!
The Z1 got the "Smartphone of the year" award and the Tablet Z got "Tablet of the year" award in Norway yesterday, so Sony is doing something right!

After using it for 3 days, i can say that i have my money well spent.
Pros:
1. Dat screeeeeenn..
2. Wifi range is superb, can go to second floor (where the wifi is on the first) whereas with my previous devices they can't detect it.
3. With its large body, surprising that it still fits into my chest pocket
4. Battery Life is good, even though not as strong as my previous razr maxx but that is expected
5. Can't wait to take a break with KitKat!
Cons:
1. Camera overprocessing.
2. No easy root method for now.. but i have migrated from Titanium Backup into Helium app so no biggie.. Only no mod for me now
O yeah i have some tips for battery life:
1. Don't install google aosp camera with gallery. It will take media scanning twice and preventing Stamina Mode to work
2. Turn off Google+ auto backup, or only allow it to upload while charging
3. Better to full drain the phone once and then charge it while it's off. But after that, please trickle charge it before it reach 50%
4. Don't use the phone while charging. Better to disconnect and then continue after you're done.

This phone is amazing. Just like many of you, I have used a lot of flagship androids - but this baby is special. Phenomenal display, smooth performance, no more messing around with pinch zoom and much less scrolling. Camera could have been better, but you'll get over it in no time. I'll eat my pride and share my darkest secret - I don't finally miss my 'buttery smooth' iphone 3G from 2008

It's not as bad as you think but it is better to not do so. Because if you use it while charging, the high temperature will degrade battery faster. So unless you know that your usage is low and not heavy, better to disconnect it and charge again after the device is cool again.

He asked if it's BAD to use the phone when it's charging, and let's be honest, it's not like you'll kill your battery within a week if you do it. Are you playing Vice City for 5 hours while charging? THAT might be bad in the long run. Checking the weather and FB a couple of times every hour? Not gonna matter.

Actually, there is a simple fix to improve and increase speaker volume.
I use the XZ1 Volume boost, it works wonders.
- Increased internal - external speaker
- Increased headphone volume
- Increased volume call speaker

Ps. You need to be rooted. Simply use CWM to flash the mod. Simple.

I think its a hardware fault or at least with my case it is. its happened across 3 different firmwares and i have found that shaking or hitting my phone actually fixes it, this proves to me few possible
For you id recommend flashing a new firmware one more time and seeing if it shows up again, if it does then it is defiantly a hardware issue

I also have a tiny gap on the bottom left but it's barely noticeable in fact I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I love the phone and not gonna use my square trade warranty for it just yet

if the vibration issue shows up again then you know its a hardware issue, its better to have something working but not something faulty, faulyt things just kill them selfs more
And im with you, I love the phone more than my old phone, i realy dont want to send it back, i just want to play games @60fps but unfortionately it is a problem that is affecting the user (thats me )
ive had alot of other issues
here are some more i forgot to list
No heating with camera but majour heating just doing random tasks:
Camera apears to take photos in a very red hue
There is a Gap on the top left of the screen too
some others, too tired to think
Same problem here with the haptic feedback. It happens cuts out now and again while typing but seems to start working again on its own after a few more presses.
Not overly bothered as am very happy with the phone otherwise so won't return it to the manufacturers until it packs in completely within my warranty period.
I have got slight gaps on the screen on the bottom left and top right and maybe a slight off centre rear camera but if I hadn't known to look for these I wouldn't and don't really see them as a problem.

Agreed, I don't think it's a hardware problem to be honest so we will see what happens when it gets updated a little more as I've seen some people with this problem.

Hmm did it again today, don't know what to do at this point since I imported this phone... I don't know if it's hardware or software honestly

Yeah if I shake it it goes away but It could be voltage output that's making it worse or something, I heard the motor is actually easy to access and replace so if it comes to that I could to that possibly. I haven't factory reset it at all and I upgraded my firmware and it's worse then the one I had on stock... Odd to see so many people with this issue though.

It could be a manufacturing bug, some types of robots need to be taught how to do their job and can realy eadilu guess the rest
This doesent seem to be a batch spesific issue

No it seems like a lot of people to having this issue as far as I know. I'm gonna just deal with it for a while if I have to... Coming from the m8 which had even more quality control issues and going through like 5 of those.. Kind of tiring lol and I guess you can't strive for perfection although this should be fixed... Maybe someone can call Sony and chime in and let us know exactly what's going on and if they're aware of this issue.
