1. Poor battery life, this morning 100% to 15% in 5 hours (on 3g Normal settings and only a handful of apps installed, only my google account, and 0 widgets (1 screen)).

2. Heat - Hangs around 90-95F idle and heats up to 110F surfing FB and the web

3. First night my camera was force closing like crazy, even after a reboot. A factory reset seems to have fixed this.

Got my Rezound on 11/23 late in the afternoon. I slapped in my SIM card and pre-charged battery (I had one already charged) and started using it. The battery showed up at 60%, well maybe it's not calibrated yet. I let it run down that evening. The next day I lost 50% battery in 3 hours, no worries I re-charged it and 3 hours after the charge I was down to 50%.

At this point I did a factory reset and decided to try the supplied battery. I let it charge that night. I went to work on Friday with this new battery, no accounts setup, no apps installed, and was losing battery like crazy still. I lost 30% in the first two hours and had to throw my phone in airplane mode at times to make it through the day. I got off work mid-day and threw it on the charger twice that same day.

Today, same battery, I went from 100% on Normal to 15% in 5 hours as mentioned above.

Verizon looked over my phone and got it to heat up quickly to 105F and are going to do a swap. Until it's in I have to swap batteries and keep chargers on me.

I'm hoping that the replacement phone is better because I love the feel of this phone and the HD screen is amazing. The camera is fantastic and I'm extremely happy with everything else minus bloatware. I can't handle that issue until I get these issues resolved :-)
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Great yea something definitely ain't right if it was doing all of that lol.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Okay, I'm having what I believe to be an issue but I'm a n00b when it comes to any kind of smartphone, this being my first, so maybe I'm missing something with these things you call Android and Sense...

When I'm typing a text and get a word messed up I can usually back up and delete the letters I need to and retype the word. But on several occasions now the cursor won't move backwards. The word is underlined in red showing it's misspelled but I can't backspace to undo it. I can get that little red "teardrop" thing and that doesn't seem to do anything either but I'm still getting the hang of that. I get it into position and still can't backspace. I get rid of that that "teardrop" and still can't backspace over the incorrect word. I seem to be able to rectify it by typing another word and then I'm able to backspace all the way back.
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
I just got mine and i noticed this also. if you look closely at the screen on your phone, you'll notice that their is a blank black area on the right hand side. approximately 16px wide. i think what happened is that they didn't make the actual screen 720px wide, they made it 736. and Android is not using all of the pixels, it's only using 720. i wonder if this can be fixed in the software somehow? because now that i know it's there, i can't help but see that on the right hand side of my screen.
[HTC Rezound] Mooselips:
What is the native app for taking screen shots?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Here is your answer from the person who found it:
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
My phone gets up to 113-114 while charging on my dock and streaming netflix not too bad. Battery life has been pretty good for me, 10x better than the RAZR. I can't wait for the new battery technology to be released.
[HTC Rezound] rodneyr:
Overall pretty nice phone. However I have one more isssue with the phone. After using my phone with 3g all day at work, the data connection locks up when I get to my house where it try's to connect to my WiFi. The phone acts sluggish and the issue is fixed after I reboot my phone. My data connection is set to never sleep. The phone is ok when it switches between 3G to 4G while I'm on the road and remains always connected to my WiFi at home.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Typical Android behavior right there for you. The slower over time that is 8(.
[HTC Rezound] rodneyr:
Yeah, thanks! Just thought I'd raise the issue just in case it was phone specific.
[HTC Rezound] snake2332:
My Rezound has rebooted a couple times randomly but I associated it to the fact that I am running temp-root on it. Actually just tried to temp-root it again this morning and it's in a boot-loop. Pulled battery and then it booted fully, phew. Temp-root attempted again and it didn't throw the phone into a reboot at all and it worked like it usually does.

Capacitive buttons are definitely pink. On one hand, I don't want them to light up because people will see my girly colored phone. On the other hand, I can't see the red buttons when they aren't lit in my dimly lit room. Really wish they were actually red when lit and that they'd light up all the time. The buttons light up in the bright light, too, so they are just inconsistent. I guess pink is "in" for dudes now. Originally, pink was the boys color, not blue, so it's just really old school.

I don't hear any high-pitched whine when using headphone jack, but I do hear a little low-pitched hum noise. This is a fault of the phone, not the headphones. I think most phones have some audible hum in the headphone jack, but it's not very bad with this phone. Maybe it would need a better filter to block all electrical noise(?)

Edit: Oh ya, forgot to mention this: I took my first Rezound back because the dude at the Verizon store managed to damage the tiny tabs that hold the battery cover on. It wasn't too terrible, but one corner of the cover was definitely loose. He damaged it on the phone part, not the back cover, so the whole phone was replaced. I was hoping it was just the cover so I wouldn't have to wait for them to go thru the MEID (or whatever they call it these days) transfer and activation.

Rezound issues

Not sure if it's an issue but been having some wierd stuff happen. When viewing certain webpages after being on a page for 2-3 seconds the browser totally crashes and shuts down.

Secondly, having issues with random,or at least it seems random, apps launching from time to time when I'm touching the screen doing something. All of a sudden a different app launches like I hit a hidden short cut.

Anyone else find the amount of time you have to click and hold to bring up the delete/edit menue for something on your desktop very short. If you pause just slightly when clicking something, you jump right into the delete option. Very annoying.
[HTC Rezound] whfissler:
good to know...I am highly contemplating getting one simply for the audio and the Dual 1.5 ghz processor, but if it's heating up and whistling through the audio chip it may be wise to wait. Those sound like hardware issues, and might not be able to be fixed by software calibration via modding.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So apparently others are experiencing this as well. Found this:

http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/176/t/14626.aspx

Two people there say that they "unlodge" the cursor by turning the phone vertical then back to horizontal again.
[HTC Rezound] snake2332:
Slowness

Is it just me or does the screen seem slow to respond, or at least slower than my OG Droid? I realize there is a delay in all touch-screens, and TomsHardware tests the screen delay, but they haven't yet for the Rezound.

Also, anyone notice horrible frame-rates in certain games like Restaurant Story or WordSmith? I don't play the ____ Story games, but I fired one up for my wife and it runs at around 1 frame per second with a brand new empty restaurant, not exaggerating. I play WordSmith a ton (the best Scrabble clone game) and it's slower than my OG Droid, probably like 15 to 18 FPS. I have to over-shoot the location when I drag tiles onto the board to spell words, or just drag it slower and let it "catch up". Both slowness issues that I wouldn't expect from the S3 SoC.

I had temp-root working for awhile and set up SetCPU to "performance" and set the minimum speed to 1.5GHz, that didn't make a difference. Other games perform well, but there are some that are just dog-slow. I'm hoping it's something that get remedied in ICS. I can deal with slow WordSmith for now. Maybe some apps run like crap at 720p for some reason.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
It's because those applications are probably not coded properly for the resolution on our screens. In time all will be well.

Ahh memories. I remember one vzw rep she was like "Oh I don't want to break my nails." This was when I had the T-Bolt btw. I turned around to look at some hot chicks ass then I heard what she said. I gaze back with her jabbing my phone with a letter opener. I was like WTF are you doing? All the employees/manager just stared at her jabbing my poor tbolt w/ a sharp object. She ended up cracking the back plate and chipping a chunk off the top of the phone. They replaced it on the spot, but I seriously was dumbfounded by how some people think. I really do wonder how she still has a job there if her solution is to stab phones w/ sharp objects to take off the back plate.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I just put some music on mine and I don't hear any of that noise using the Beats earplugs. Will test in car tomorrow, but it may have to be via bluetooth.
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
So I'm at work and bring my charger with me to top of my phone when it reaches 40. So I had 4g turned off and plug in when I want to retrieve it I felt how hot it was look at cpu temp widget it clocked in at wopping 128 degrees so in sure it reached 130. Was not pleased with this.
[HTC Rezound] turbojimmy:
Overheat

Luckily it woke me up this time. Last time it was over 140, over 140!
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
Wow
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
U need to swap that thing out. That's not good news lol. Ive been watching mine lately and it hasn't gone over 100 even if I'm charging and playing games.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
What app are you using to monitor your temp?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
System panel ATM, only thing I don't like is that it shows clock speeds the phone doesn't have. It did on my desire anyway.

It monitors a bunch of crap though and has a good app killer built in
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
How r ur screen protectors? Lol
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
The one's I got from Amazon? If so they're not bad for the price! Still quite a few bubbles left, but they said 3-5 days for it to clear.
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
Ordered 2 rezounds from Amazon during the penny sale, one for me and one for the fiance. Hers is perfect, mine overheats and has HORRIBLE battery life. Standard AND Extended battery won't last one day.

Here's the kicker, 97% when i left the office and 2.5hrs later of light usage and i was down to 23% on 3G only. They are sending me a replacement but since it is back ordered not sure when i'm going to get it.

OH, 30minutes of internet radio streaming created a battery temp of 115-125* and lead to battery over heating.

I reallllllllllllly want to steal my fiance's phone haha.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
funny..i just sold two rezounds today...one had the pink ass looking magenta lights, and one looked fine lol..didn't notice the light leakage..but both seemed to work well. i really hope i don't sell duds, cuz i'd really hate for people to come back mad about the phone after all the good word i put in when i sell it to them :\
[HTC Rezound] coolbluedab:
I also have the busted speaker sound (earpiece). Does not matter what volume really.. and sometimes I notice it is on high, sounds like it will be ok, then suddenly volume busts into a higher distorted mode and poof... I no longer want to be on a call. I just got a DOA and same issue, but store demo phone does not.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Jim - Can you PLEASE post the manufacture date and hardware revision of both these phones. You might be able to give us some real information.
[HTC Rezound] Ndaoud360:
Looks like I got the good batch of Rezounds because I have none of the problems except light leakage which I dont care about.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
The unit I have is pretty much perfect. Red keys and minimal/almost no light leakage, no dead/stuck pixels. No whinning from headphones either! Guess the 4th time was the charm.:D
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
You don't have light leakage at the bottom where the buttons are?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I mean if i hold the phone at an akward angle I can see the lights but otherwise I dont notice leakage/bleed on the screen that bothers me.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
O... Lol cuz I was gonna return this, I only have the leakage on bottom. Which I can't see unless my screen is black and room is dark... Which is almost never lol... But that's the only thing that I have an issue with, and its very minor compared to others lol c
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I think it's just the way the phone is designed.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Weird...today was the first day this thing would not hit 100% charged...it stayed at 99 over night. Other people had this issue too, what's up with it?
[HTC Rezound] GadgetMonger:
Pattern unlock

I set up a pattern lock, then decided not to use it so I unchecked all the boxes but the pattern screen still comes up to unlock. So... What am I missing?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
did you set it to None?
[HTC Rezound] GadgetMonger:
Is that a setting beyond just unchecking the pattern lock box in security?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
*face palm.

Settings > security> set up screen lock> none. I believe this is what you are looking for? If that doesn't work then A there is a setting I don't know about that overrides that or B your phone is borked lol. Hope this helps :D
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Maybe related, maybe not related, but maybe....

If I set the "power mode" to normal or economy for an extended period of time (I've never tried It for a short period of time), then change it back to high performance, the damn thing won't grab an lte connection. Just stays stuck on 3g. I thought vzw was screwing with the network but after a reboot -bang-4g......... Stuck settings?

On a side note, I discovered that facebook for android would keep the phone awake indefinitely if you're logged in. Anyone else find this to be true? It was my biggest battery suck, by far.

I'm enjoying decent battery life with it frozen.....

Facebook for sense=not a problem.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Is it possible that those power settings turn off the 4g radio? Maybe you have to turn it back on?

I use Friendcaster Pro cuz I hate! The facebook app lol. Though recent updates have made it a little better
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
Is it me or does the rezound love running apps in the background. Also if my phone is off,Why is the temperature above 100 degrees.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
How are you reading temperature if your phone is off?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lmao, what he said.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Tell me that's not a legit question lol?
[HTC Rezound] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The only issue I seem to be having is terrible bluetooth call quality.

Everything else seems Ok.
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
sorry sleep not off, and I use cpu widget. Its in the lower left corner.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
why do i see advanced task killer?!?!?!/?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!/1/!/!?!?!?!/1/1//1/11/1/?!1/1/one!?1/!/1/!?1?1/
[HTC Rezound] palmsole:
Beast of a phone!! Had to replace first one because of hissing earphones and random screen distortion like affect that seemed heat related: most noticeable with small letters. New phone has been purrfect so far.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Store?

I called Verizon because I do not want to give up on the Rezound, although I will tell all of you with thermal problems ... it will get old QUICK.

They basically told me that I would be better off buying in a store, because I could get a same day exchange during the 14 days, rather than waiting 1-2 days each time.

Since my attempt at a manufacture date thread led nowhere (or went horribly off topic), I still can't figure out how to get a good phone. I could wait for the GNex (which I don't want) or start the process of sweating out a 14 day period for bad hardware (because I think we ALL know what is sitting in the refurb pool).

I am stuck :(
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
LOL.

More importantly...what's up with the offset of the screen in all these screen caps? I haven't ready anything about this yet I see a black bar on the right side every time.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
My 1x4 htc calendar widget say things that are really two days away are "tomorrow". Like today is fri dec 2 and i have an event on sun dec 4 and it says "tomorrow *event name*. Anyone else?

Also anyone having problems with the cursor jumping around in the stock browser? Like say I hit the screen between the "o" and the "w" in "browser" in the last sentence, the cursor jumps to in between these two paragraphs. It just goes wherever it wants. Really annoying for corrections.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, every screenshot everyone takes has this problem. i bet they took the screenshot app and copy and pasted it from other sense 3.5 devices, adn since those aren't 720p resolution, this screen gets cut off a bit when we take a SS. meh.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
What bar? I've never noticed it I guess on mine? Lol
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
actually the screenshots that get taken by the built in utility are 1280x736, not 720. and if i look at the screen on my actual phone, i believe that i'm seeing those extra 16 pixels on the right side of my screen. it's kind of bugging me actually.
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
For some odd reason this phone has alot apps running in the background, and yes I know about the android process ox closing apps with this phone its not happening. Maybe thats why hex added a task manager and app killa, but I think advance task miles die a better job.
[HTC Rezound] coolbluedab:
3rd ones the charm. No more bad speaker. Everything is great, battery life is fantastic during standby, and about normal for a 4g phone when streaming netflix. It gets to say 110F-115F temps during then, but that isn't exactly hot it is a warm day in Texas, or slightly higher than body temp... Even for a battery it is good til 140 where a bat will be damaged.
[HTC Rezound] designerfx:
heh, it doesnt' bother me, but I never noticed until this thread. not a big deal though.
[HTC Rezound] frostyllama:
So I've got the static headphones issue. Using the beats or any "sealing" headphones makes it much more noticeable. It's only there when audio is playing through the headphones and about a second or two after. Volume level, wireless connections, and headphones w/ or w/o mic don't seem to affect it. best way to test it is in a quiet room, play some audio with sealing headphones and turn the volume all the way

down

.

oh yeah, i've got the pink buttons, bottom light leakage, and some stuck pixels as well. so far...
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
My local store gets a new shipment this week (sold out).. lets see if this batch has issues....
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
One more thing I like to add recessed per button no a fan.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Please post Manufacturers Date

When posting problems, such as overheating, etc., PLEASE remember to post the manufacture date of the problem phone.

To get your phone manufacture date:

1. Dial ##7764726

2. Hit call

3. Insert 000000 for password

4. Hit Display Grouping

5. Manufacture Date Code is what you need there
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
getting "not available" for the date code...
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I am not posting this as an issue rather a question.

I noticed that when not charging that the difference between Up Time and Awake time in Settings > Battery reflects a growing gap when the screen is off. In other words awake time does not grow but Up Time does as expected. However, if it is on charge all the time on charge gets attributed to Awake Time even when the screen is off. I see this when overnight on charge.

I never noticed this on any other Android phone.

So the question: Am I the only one that noticed this?
[HTC Rezound] racollins:
I also noticed, had a rom I flashed on the Droid Incredible do the same thing. cant remember which one though.
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
I got a Rezound over the weekend and I don't have light leakage, pink button, or squeaking so far.

I used it heavily first two days totally stock. No noticeable issues.

Ran CleanTOOL 1.1 yesterday. Still no noticable issues.

Manufacture date code is not available (perhaps cause of the clean tool?).
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
My mfr date isn't available either and I haven't done a temp root. Several people posted that theirs wasn't showing in another thread.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
When you say no light leakage do you mean on the sides of the screen or the buttons on the bottom
[HTC Rezound] professor7980:
hotspot is spotty at best very unreliable for me
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
4g is turning off by itself it seems. I started a thread about it in case I'm doing it somehow but I don't think so. Verizon peeps said you need an app to toggle it off and on and I didn't have one then. They downloaded LTE on/off and turned on my 4g. It's happened twice so far.

My thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378133

And my phone doesn't have a mfr date.
[HTC Rezound] acroanidd:
This is the 2nd rezound I had, the first one I swapped out at another verizon store 250 miles away (because i was travelling).. the first one had the awful high pitched whine through the headphone jack. The second one I got I couldnt notice it while in the store, which probably was due to all the background noise coming through the headphones. But either way, 2nd one has pinkish buttons compared to the first, it got a tiny hairline scratch on the screen, even though i never put anything in that pocket by my phone, and my og droid after 2 years didnt have a single scratch and this thing did after 2 days. I also now am noticing the high pitched whine from phone # 2. I have to admit I love the phone, I love almost everything about it, all except the spotty build quality.

I will be returning this for the Galaxy Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] got556:
Only issues I have is when plugging into laptop the phone gets really really hot.

The other issue...and this is a big one and we may be having the same errors as the Thunderbolt, I'm starting to get the SMS errors that won't let me send texts to certain people. :mad::mad::mad:

No light leakage, no pink buttons, just that pesky text issue and heat.
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
I meant from the buttons on the bottom. I'll have to take a close look at the sides of the screen tonight.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Err if they isn't supposed to be leakage at the bottom I'm going to go return mine, that's the only thing I have an issue with.

Edit: though I'm kind of scared to return it because I could be getting one with other issues that mine doesn't have lol. *sigh. I've never known HTC to be this sketchy in build
[HTC Rezound] acroanidd:
So I was going to wait for Verizon to release the Galaxy Nexus before I took this phone back... Yeah i guess the Rezound has other plans for me..

Rezound 1: bad audio jack

Rezound 2: bad glass on the screen scratched out of the box, pink capacitive buttons, audio jack is bad, and now it started boot looping on me...

I really really wanted to love this phone, but HTC dropped the ball.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You already posted - just 6 hours ago - that you are returning for the Nexus. Why post it again?
[HTC Rezound] acroanidd:
Because the phone wasn't boot looping before I just added another problem that I am experiencing. Sorry I irritated you somehow.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I have notice a SLIGHT (and i mean slight) leakage around the bottom corners of my RZ but I only notice it when it's really dark. I happened to be laying on my bed and being blinded by the screen and noticed this.

A minute issue to say the least and certainly not worth me returning the device. Just thought I'd add my $.02
