I think I had this problem the first few days of having the phone. I was driving down from my mom's and figured she must live in a non-4g area. Once I got to an area I figured had to have 4g I still did not have it. I had to reboot to get it going.

Then I had issues with no 4g in Los Angeles. Went to Verizon and they downloaded LTE on/off and turned it on with that. Have only had an issue once since then. But... they didn't seem to know the settings on the phone very well because out of 4 of them that were standing around when I went in none of them asked if it was turned on in the settings of the phone, and my being brand new to it and any smartphone in general I didn't know there was a setting to turn it on and off. In fact I went in asking if I could have done something to turn it off accidentally.

So... I don't know if the LTE on/off app did anything but it might be worth trying it to see if it helps set the phone or something. Especially if you have a good phone in regards to other possible issues.
[HTC Rezound] krazie1:
Was is this app and if it was what option did you choose?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yes and the one that is highlighted. You can also choose the LTE mode (w/voice) if you are always in a 4g area. The CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto will allow it to switch between 3g/4g when necessary.
[HTC Rezound] krazie1:
Do you know if I have to mess with anythig else. You see the text box do I type anythig there or no?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
No, you don't need to change anything in there. Mine looks just like yours.
[HTC Rezound] krazie1:
Ok so i'll try it when i go to a 4G area. And it should change automatically to 4G without restarting by just having this app? I'll update about my findings on this issue when i get to go to that city that has 4G.

I'm chiming in with some issues:

Birthdays! There are two. I have my google account and facebook accounts synced and linked. One is correct, the other is the previous day. Kind of annoying.

LED notification light! I'm annoyed that the Rezound seems to only have 1 or 2 colors. I got a free app to test colors, nothing would change. Quick google shows people saying it's only 2. I've only seen Orange so far. My Droid 1 could make a few (blue, purple, red, yellow, green). :/

Other than that, this phone is a huge upgrade. I haven't noticed any serious heat. Phone gets a little warm under gaming and such.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I"ve seen posts saying the calendar is a day off with events.

The second notification color is green. I don't recall seeing any notifications in orange though, just green. Gonna keep a look out and see if I get any orange ones. I've only seen orange when it's charging and not full.
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Yeah, it's still annoying hahaha.

I have seen green for notifications. And yes, orange for charging. That's about it. Makes me a little sad. But, oh well.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Don't worry...

Be happy.

Sorry. It's late. I couldn't help myself. ;)
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Got a new one:

While connected to a USB charger, I get erratic behavior. For example, while browsing, it would bring up links on the page, or go back and forward again.

On Kindle, it would start flipping pages forward and back.

As soon as I disconnect the USB cable, it stops.

Issue with Feedback noise in headphones.

I was wondering if the headphones feedback problem is solved when using another rom. I am having this issue now and it is quite frustrating. I called HTC and they said they are working on a solution but nothing yet. Thanks a million for any info
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Haha... Old school. I guess I'll just be missing that feature of CM (pick custom led notification colors). Still 100x better than my last phone.

When I had my Droid 1, using any micro usb cable with the phone other than included OEM one cause very erratic registration of the fingers. This was very widely reported in the CM Droid 1 forums. However, I'm using that OEM Moto cable right now to AC charge my Rezound and I opened up Fennec and scrolled around and didn't notice anything erratic. Maybe you need to replace it under warranty? Are you using one of those super cheapo / unusually long cables?

I read on the verge (IIRC) that HTC said there seem to be isolated incidents of this and they'll be monitoring it closely. It may be a warranty issue. Or not. *shrug*
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
guys with birthday problems:

it's a combination of sense and facebook! facebook is 100% to blame; ever since sense 2.0 and up, no facebook birhtdays are correct! they always show up as one day earlier than they are. this happened on incredible roms using 2.0 and up; i figured it was a rom problem, but nope, ti's cleary facebook and sense. notice on friendstream, the birthday is CORRECT. in the calendar, the birthday is CORRECT. on people app, it's WRONG. ugh it's very annoying, i agree.

Build Quality, bluetooth and performance issues

This is my second rezound. The first had issues with over heating. The replacement has been used thoroughly for about 1 week or so. At this time, the phone has developed creaks and popping from the back rubberized cover. Its also creaking and popping on both the left and right sides of the phone. My phone also continues to lag throughout the interface alot.

Maybe I'm being too "picky" but my idea of a a 300.00 phone should include stellar build quality and a user experience / system performance that matches advertised hardware specifications. I just don't see it here. I cannot justify 300.00 for this phone. I'll have to return it. I have no more exchanges with verizon left. Its too bad, I really wanted this phone.

Please help with reboot problem

Reboot with white screen and logo htc and repeat again.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Anyone else having amazing battery performance today? I am and I hope that whatever caused it keeps doing what it's doing. Was down to 60% after 5 hours off the charger with a standard battery and doing nothing different then any other work day. Usually I'd be between 20-35% in that same time frame.

Mobile data connection issues (or more of an annoyance)

Mine seems to occasionally lose mobile internet. Doesn't matter if I'm in a good or bad service area. I'll have no 4G, no 3G, not even 1X (no icon). One time my phone even got stuck in 1X mode until reboot.

Also, switching in and out of airplane mode is very slow.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
It does turn 4G off. But putting it back in "high performance" should re-enable 4G. I've gotten into the habit of just picking one setting for the day and leaving it that way.

Lately I've been thinking that I may have a faulty sim card.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Ditto
[HTC Rezound] micnn:
That could be carrier related... here in SF bay area, within the past one month Verizon's 4G network has been down a couple of times, each time lasted a whole day.
[HTC Rezound] armchairbear:
Minor issues so far:

The web browser cannot completely load some website pages. e.g. gawker blog sites like Kotaku or io9. The homepages load fine, but subsequent links do not load completely. Tried Opera mobile browser too, same problem. Happens on wifi, 3G, 4G.

The battery usage does not update when I press Refresh. It just updates whenever it feels like it. Weird.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I've noticed my buttons are lighter than they used to be. They to to be completely red but now they are iffy hmm.
[HTC Rezound] numbroino21:
Same here
[HTC Rezound] ptco911:
I had that happen and exchanged the phone (1 week old). Haven't had any other issues so far.
[HTC Rezound] vlen22:
Same here

I have some conncetion issues on my htc rezound too. I already had it rooted thnks to the permroot method. I repeated that method twice though, does anyone think because I repeated the method that the connection is horrible? Or is it the verizon towers? (I thought I lost root so I tried again, but I rebooted first before retrying) also, everyone else has tha tproblem too, yet some return their phones and exchange, maybe it is just verizon related?
[HTC Rezound] dclmac:
Market

I'm unlocked/rooted, using Ineffabilis v1.0, and TeamBAMF's Unsecured Stock Kernel (tried several Kernels, to no avail) and I'm now getting 'This device isn't compatible with this item' when I attempt to download/update certain apps from the market (to include verizon apps). Also my Dish Network app never worked for the Rezound, even stock/unrooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Major data connection issues, but on only one of our Rezounds.
[HTC Rezound] newdad28:
I'm having the exact same problem. Twice today I lost all signal, the first time was during a work conference call, and the total signal outage lasted about 45 minutes (despite several reboots, battery pulls, pulling the SIM, etc, etc...everything I could think of).

I pulled up XDA and my data came back, so I didn't end up spending any time here earlier. However, it just dropped all signal again..and it's been a good half hour now, still nothing.

I rooted yesterday...anyone know if stock Rezounds are having this exact issue?

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

Mighta just figured this problem out..

I had the back off, because I switched batteries (I have the extended one also) - booted up with the back off, and couldn't get signal with the back off no matter what I tried. Put the back on just now, and almost immediately regained signal!

Anyone else with problem have the same experience?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
The antennas are in the back door so you have to have it on to get a signal. Don't know about why you would be losing signal while on a call though, I assume you didn't take the back door off during the call.
[HTC Rezound] newdad28:
Yeah no idea how/why I lost all signal during that call yesterday, the phone was plugged in by my office window on the other side of the room (I was using Bluetooth).

Anyone else had that happen much?
[HTC Rezound] smitty192:
I've had the rezound for a little over 2 weeks now. Love the phone. I have it perma rooted with cleanrom 1.5. Since I've rooted I've been having atleast 1 or 2 random reboots onto bootloop every single day. I have to remove the battery and reboot to fix this. It's really getting old having to do this everyday. I have no frills CPU on and clocked to ziggys kernel. Has there been a fix for this? Thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I woud read/post in ziggy's kernel thread and whatever custom ROM's thread you are using, if any. You'll get the best responses there and if you read through them you may find a solution already posted.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I fixed my connection issues. It had to do with eHRPD.

Our VZW phones use the CDMA network for 1xRTT, EVDO, and voice calls. LTE is actually based off of the GSM network technology. eHRPD tries to make using EVDO and LTE seamless.

I had set my phone to CDMA only (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode). Even though my phone wasn't looking for 4G/LTE any more, it was still using eHRPD. What seems to be happening was in an area with less than decent reception, eHRPD was attempting manage the both LTE and EVDO, causing issues with my EVDO connections.

What I did was dial ##778# Call > Edit Mode > Enter "000000" for the password > Modem Settings > Rev. A. I changed it from "eHRPD" to "Enable". Then hit the Menu button and Commit Modifications. The phone then reboots. My 3G connections are now always there, and initialize much faster coming out of airplane mode.

Only thing I'm not sure about: 4G should still work if enabled under settings, but switching from 3G to 4G won't be seamless, kind of like switching from Mobile to Wi-Fi in the middle of a download.

I don't live in a 4G, so this workaround is fine for me.
[HTC Rezound] 3oclockslop:
Glad mine is fresh...lol

I just picked my rezound up on 1/11/12 at a fairly large Verizon store north of Pittsburgh, Pa. They had a limited inventory and are kinda coming in then right out to retail. I'm thinking HTC is dealing with any hardware issues as they come up, as I have had almost none of the issues described in this thread. I did lose connection one time for a bit, but eventually I found out I probably inadvertently turned off mobile networks in settings. Either that, or in the process of unlocking and rooting, with multiple reboots, that switched it off .

That being said, and although I haven't got my recovery or custom ROM flashed yet, I love this phone! The screen is AWESOME, and the beats audio is WAY more of a plus than I thought it was going to be. I was used to x2, and was getting it set up pretty nice, but this phone has WAY more long range potential. My big choice was between this and the Nexus, but the iffy build, the speaker/sound issues, and the widely criticized camera were enough to get me to sign on for the rezound.

Hope everyone gets their issues worked out and can enjoy this wonderful device!
[HTC Rezound] lil_italy:
I just got this Phone Friday a recertified for all the probs with my Bionic. Today I started to have crazy data connection issues as above.

It went to 1x from 4G and then it wouldn't even go to 3g at all. I had to reset the phone 2 times for it to work for now.

Same sh!t with the Bionic in some ways, so I'm wondering if its tower related or sim card now. I use the rezound as a hotspot for my laptop here at home.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
There are known issues with using mobile hotspot on the Rezound. It just won't hold the connection. I don't think it has been resolved yet.

Here's a thread on it:

[HTC Rezound] Palmsterguy:
I dont know if anybody is having this issue but i just rooted my phone and i used a utility that desensed my phone (it allows u to resense or desense it) i also loaded a kernal that overclocked it to 1.8 but i am now having issues, like out of no where my phone will restart and will be stuck in a bootloop and it wont stop until i take out the battery. Once it loads up again (after removing the battery) it loads up fine but its been does that 2-3 times a day idk if its the kernal or what i'm doing wrong and maybe its something small but i'm still a noob -_- so please just bear with me.
[HTC Rezound] Durthquake:
none of the issues listed in main post but...

Only issue i have is my phone goes into 1x alot when in 4g areas. its weird! anyone else have this issue?

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

From what i have read, 1.8 kernels are not very stable. i think the most stable was around 1.67 (odd speed)
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'm noticing a little separation at the bottom of my screen and the metal trim that wasn't there before... It looks like a shiny spot kind of... But I think its the light from the keys coming through. Is this normal? I did drop the hell out of ny phone about a month ago... Thankfully I had an otterbox on it at the time but I wonder if that has something to do with it. I know it wasn't there when I bought and and i know it wasn't before I dropped it. But at the same time I didn't notice it in the dark when I took the case off to make sure nothing happened to it.

May go get it replaced... But I can't see it with any kind of case on it... I'm sort of also wondering if the silicon case pulling on it has made it do that
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
There are a lot of people who have light leaks so you are now one of the many. I too recently started seeing this on my phone about two weeks ago. I don't use a case and I haven't dropped my phone. So that leads me to believe it's more normal then any of us would like.

My battery life was pretty bad. I figured it was the screen because you can't push that kind of resolution without some sacrifice, but less than one 12 hour period? That's no bueno. MY SOLUTION - Rooted running Scott's Senseless ICS ROM. So far good battery life
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
My battery life is pretty good, usually about 2 days, at least a full day. I'm running stock ROM with Ziggy's kernel, overclocked and stable at 1.836.

I got the phone last Saturday. This is my first smartphone and I LOVE it! And this is coming from a guy who is an Apple guy. Honestly, Apple dropped the ball on the iPhone 4S, and I couldn't wait for the rumored iPhone 5 to come out to get a new cell phone. But so far, this phone is blowing me away with its speed and all the features.

My one issue - the pink buttons! I know they have been discussed a lot, and not just on these forums. I was thinking about exchanging it but now I am nervous I might get a phone with one of the other issues (static in the headphones, bad pixels, dropped data). So, I might just keep it. But quick ? - I saw folks who have modded their phones by putting in red LEDs. I think I might want to go that route, but I cannot do it myself. Hence, I need to find someone to do it for me (or some similar fix).

Anyone know how to go about finding someone/some place to get this done? I am in the Boston area and would prefer to go to a shop/someone's place to get this done rather than mailing it across the country. :p Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
I have two issues to report but I'm unsure if I should mention them here or start new threads...

Okay the first one probably has an easy explanation, the second is about Beats audio and whether or not it's a gimmick, so I'll make a new thread for that...

So has anyone else noticed that around 1 hour after hitting full charge (green light) the battery starts dipping and rising by a percent or two? This happens with both the OEM charger and other chargers (The old droid 1 would start doing weird things if you used cheap non-OEM chargers).

Here is a screenshot:

[HTC Rezound] Frosstyx:
I am experiencing this as well, I believe it is linked as the other poster said, to the overclock within the kernel. It seems to be directly correlated to heavy usage(resource usage) on the phone.
[HTC Rezound] palmsole:
You don't need to reboot just go into settings connections and then enter mobile network then exit. That usually works for me as long as I'm back in a 4G area.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
I don't think it knows that you can turn it up to 11. Lol

Probably just showing the maintenance charge routine.

It can't charge over 100%, 101% is impossible. So, charge, rest, charge rest. I wouldn't worry unless you're having problems.

pink lights not a big deal!

Got My rezound about 1 week ago and really didnt notice the lights being pinkish until like 3 days ago. It did bother me since im a guy and would prefer not having pink lights but thats the only problem ive had with this phone. Im not going to send it back and risk having a new phone and something be wrong with that one. I have had no other issues with my rezound and its the best phone ive had to date. I wouldnt sweat the lights its not that big of a deal, don't risk getting a replacement then regretting it. Im going to live with my pink lights!

I've learned to live with pinky lights as well. A useful free app called screen filter allows you to shut off the lights manually. This can be helpful when watching movies in the dark.

[HTC Rezound] JoeAndDroid:
There is an app you can download from the market called "Keyboard Backlight Controller". You can use it to lock the soft button backlights on/off or have them come on always when the screen is on. It mostly works well although occassionally, the lights will stay on even when the screen is off. Retoggling the setting in the app will fix this.

[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Good find. I like how the buttons fade off a second after the screen shuts off.

Just keep an eye on it. I'm not sure how much power the softkey backlights use but a few times I have pulled the phone out of my pocket and the lights were on although the display was not.

Not sure if you got this resolved but I had the same problem. I finally isolated it to whenever I plugged the phone into the PC with the USB cable. I tried internal and external SD and it did not fix it. Finally, I used root explorer to copy my ringtones to the system folder and not they have not changed. Unfortunately, you need to root the phone to do this. Must be a software bug.

Sorry, I replied to the wrong post. Not sure if you got this resolved but I had the same problem. I finally isolated it to whenever I plugged the phone into the PC with the USB cable, that is when the ringtones reset. I tried internal and external SD and it did not fix it.

[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Has anyone noticed the battery icon seems to indicate more battery than what we actually have left? For example, my icon will show me a half empty (or half full) battery when the phone actually only has 35% left.
[HTC Rezound] not2gutta:
I observed the opposite yesterday in the city where I was jumping back and forth between batteries while the other charged at random places...my battery widget displayed 0 numerous times though still had juice...but maybe the widget isnt 100 percent accurate...or switching the batteries numerous times may have had an influence.

Not sure if anyone has experienced this problem:

after a phone call when the screen turns off, the IR light (proximity sensor) stays on (i can see a little red light to the right of the verizon logo) and I cannot turn on the screen again. I keep pressing the power button but nothing happens. have to resort to pulling the battery and rebooting.

this happens a few times after i hang up a phone call.

So I pulled my case off my phone and I see that my screen separation has gotten worse, instead of one spot in the bottom center of the phone its now all the wa around the bottom and up the sides some. And now I can actually see it through my case.

I assume I can take it to Verizon and switch it out for another phone? I just recently switched to Verizon and I'm wondering if there are any steps I need to take. Like calling customer service before I go to the store and get the to reserve me one in store stock or do I need to get them to put a note on my account or anything like that?
