Temp Rezound high pitched whine solution

Not sure if this has been brought up as a "temp" solution, but wanted to share as it’s made my Rezound much better. I saw this on the HTC Community forums by James on 01/18/12. I am not affiliated with the app in any way.

On my Rezound (stock), the static was fixed with the last OTA update, but I still had the high pitched whine when the screen was on (and sometimes a little bit after it went off). Downloaded the app the guy mentioned and I don't get the whine anymore. No more back-lit buttons while it’s enabled, but the sound is great again. Hopefully HTC will have a fix for what seems like interference from the buttons being lit. FYI – The shortcut on the screen acts like a toggle after the initial setup, so it’s easy to enable/disable.

“I noticed that the phone would have that "whine / hiss" sound every time the capacitive buttons would light up, and the sound would go away after they turned off.. So I got an app of the marketplace called "Screen Filter" and using this app allowed me to turn off the soft-key backlight function at all times.

For me this has eliminated the high pitched whine noise that was pouring into my left ear, however there is still a pop sound when the audio is first turned on for applications or videos.”

On my third battery. Anyone else have any issues with the Rezound burning up batteries? Or could I just have had 2 faulty batteries in a row?
[HTC Rezound] SpyderWeiss:
I've been fine so far, but I rotate through 3 regular batteries and 1 extended.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
how do you know your battery is "burnt up" ?
[HTC Rezound] garofalo:
I think this is the right place for this (if not, let me know).

I'm on my second Rezound. The first had issues with static and high-pitched whining that, through reading lots of XDA threads, I determined was probably related to faulty CPU shielding. No big deal, Verizon replaced it with very little hassle. That was back in February, IIRC.

Yesterday, a new audio problem started. Regardless of whether or not there's any source sending audio to Media, the left channel emits horrendous static. Rebooting fixed the problem yesterday, but not today. Unfortunately, the static only starts intermittently and I haven't figured out yet what's causing it. I have a suspicion that the shielding on the Rezound's CPU simply deteriorates over time, causing an initial period of a few months without problems followed by some static as the shielding wears down. That could be complete narrative fabrication on my part, though.

More info: I'm rooted and have been running RezROM 2.1 for a few weeks. I got the maintenance OTA shortly after I got this phone and before I rooted/ROMed. I haven't updated to the leaked firmware yet because I hear ICS is officially dropping today and I'm ok waiting for higher quality ROMs (and possibly Sense 4).

Beats Sound Issue

While listening to the beats on my Rezound i hear a click sound in the background every few minutes.
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
Same here, i hear like every 2 min or so
[HTC Rezound] Legobricke:
Ok....

Here's one for the masses....

Maybe I am expecting too much or I am overtaxing my Rezound.

It's a new unit (1 week old) and it is no rooted... Plain stock.

Ok... When I have the Rezound connected via bluetooth and use the headphone jack to feed audio to my radio (in the car) I start having strange issues that I did not have with my HTC Incredible.

If I am streaming Google Music and I try and make a call via bluetooth, the music stops and all is good.... When a call comes in... the music stops and all is good.

But... If I am streaming Siruis XM / Old Time Radio / or Tune In radio, the music only stops on incoming calls... If i try and make a call from my bluetooth unit, the headphone jack cuts the music but the audio then transfers to my bluetooth. Once the call get's made, the music stops as normal....

Never had this issue with the Incredible...

Also... If I am not using bluetooth and I am streaming audio to the car radio, and a call is received, the Incredible would let me accept the call and the callers audio would play through the car speakers and I could talk using the mic on the phone...

Is there some setting I'm missing??? I am in my car allot and these little issues are the only thing (outside of the overheating issues) that makes me wish for my Incredible back...

So my quiet speaker thing now has a slight rattle to it on certain pitches... Should I swap the phone out? Or am I being too picky of an 800 dollar phone?

Anyone having issues with the main keys not lighting up at times?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
What u mean? Different types of light can make it function a little weird. Like mine aren't lit atm in a dim room. But in class under bright florescent light they light up sometimes

I picked mine up Monday morning in NYC.

So at the store I'm playing with the demo unit and went to the YouTube app and nothing would play. I reached over to the Samsung Charge and went to the same YouTube app and every thing played. I figured the VZW People Screwed the phone up. YouTube would not play from the app or the web. I figured it was blocked or something. The videos just would not start, it just stayed on the loading screen.

Sounds like something now that I've seen your comment

And low and behold I can't get YouTube to Play on 4G, works on 3G and Wifi but not on 4G.

Store was the one on Madison Ave and 43rd St. NY, NY

I'll be going back there later today.

Anybody else notice that system volume keeps maxing ourself out? I don't know why..I keep having to lower it..everutime I goto check it, its maxed out..
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
And anybody else getting some pretty significant light leakage on the bottom underneath the capacative buttons?
[HTC Rezound] Blacktruck:
I wonder if its cause were in the same area? I'm less than 55 miles from NYC in New Haven CT. Is it possible that its the same network server?(if thats how it works)
[HTC Rezound] jcollierdavis:
There was an article on Lifehacker a while back where they tested Monster speaker wire, regular speaker wire and a coat hanger. In blind tests, self proclaimed audiophiles were uinable to distinguish between the coat hanger and any other wire.

Another similar test with HDMI cables appeared after that one. Basically the difference wasn't noticeable until you got hdmi cables beyond 25 feet.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
even then, as long as the cable has ferrites length won't be a problem.
[HTC Rezound] jcollierdavis:
TL;DR:

Bluetooth, Wifi, Market, Soft keys -all no issue.

Skype over wifi works well

Netflix looks like it should work

Possible failure in contacts process. Factory reset fixed it for now.

I made a bluetooth call on the way home last night. It sounded very clear on both ends. I think it was actually better than my DInc.

I had no issues with, accessing WiFi, Android Market or the soft keys.

I didn't try youtube over 4g or at all.

I made two skype video calls for about 30 minutes. Everything worked really well. Video was clear. One call the audio was very faint, but likely because my parents don't sit close enough to the mic. Market showed two skype apps. One was the regular skype and the other was Verizon's skype. The Verizon version on my DInc wouldn't work over WiFi, instead requiring 3g. I didn't try that one. The regular one performed as expected over WiFi

I downloaded and logged into Netflix. Didn't watch a movie. Everything else seemed to work well.

The Android Market immediately updated from the green style to the dark style. I couldn't find the G+ app in the market. Had to copy G+ 2.0 apk from my DInc to the Rezound. App works well. Got a process.acore(?) force close right after the install. Seems to have little impact.

I had a potential deal-breaker with my contacts process. It would force close within a second every time I used it. A factory reset seemed to have fixed it. If I see it again I will promptly exchange it.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
hmm... glad to know Skype is working well. I use it as my primary phone & have issues regularly with it on the Thunderbolt.(call quality, echoeing, distortion)

Market Issue

Is anyone else having an issue with the market as soon as it updates to the most recent version?

After a couple of hard resets, the market works fine, and then as soon as it gets updated, I can no longer get it my Apps, or any categories - the only thing that loads is the home screen and when I click on anything else I just get the spinning 'loading...'

I have tried it on 4G, 3G only, and Wifi only and it's the same.

Thanks for any ideas...

...

BTW coming from DInc, tried Razr (hugely wide), went to this (still big but manageable)
[HTC Rezound] ifitwasnt4u:
No issues with Youtube here. There is a market update, this may be why people are having issues. No light issues, and no market issues. Only thing I've run into is the battery charging sllllooooowwwwwww. On the charger all night and only got to 90% charged.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Have to make sure your charger and cable arnt putting the phone in data charge mode. (like plugging into a computer USB port).

Mine charged from dead to full in about 3 hours last night.

Anyone else have "sdcard" and "sdcard2" showing up in ES File Explorer? Seems as though everything I had on the card, which I brought over from my Dinc, is in sdcard2, and then there's some various other files in sdcard. I'd rather just have one sdcard folder in there. Anyone have any insight on this?
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
I have never had any issues with dust on any HTC phone. although I have had issues with dust on ipod touches & an iphone 3g. filthy apple!
[HTC Rezound] bgmikejr:
The reason for the sdcard having 2 of them in es file explorer app is because there's an internal one and the external one you can remove.

You should check your hardware revision number under your batter on the grey thing before you send it in, ans compare it to the one you receive. It's an XA or Xwhatever 2 letter thing under the meid stuff.

K something that annoys me is that I get a light blue daytime background even though it's midnight because it's cloudy outside. This is on the weather lock screen BTW . I was really hoping they had fixed that in ICS, maybe it will be fixed on the OTA, but probably not.

Tachyon. Thanks man. I really should have enabled the developer options earlier.
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
This is what happened to mine many months ago. Had to enable the nav bar, but my digitizer was still bad where the nav bar showed up. I had to set up custom ribbons in carbon rom to make the phone functional. Needless to say, I gave up my Rezound, and am rocking a Nexus 5.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
^^ what he said.

sdcard 2 i believe is the 16 gig external where 1 is your 16 gig internal phone storage
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
Gotcha, thanks for the heads up. That would explain why I couldn't rename it or anything. Thanks!

EDIT: At second look, it appears as though that's messing with the reporting of SD card space to apps like OS Monitor and System Monitor. Lame. It'd be nice if they DIDN'T do it this way, I hope it's something that can be changed via a ROM.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I want my Rezound

I don't have a Rezound (yet) but you should be able to rename the drive for both your SD card and internal storage. Just connect & mount your phone as a drive, right click and rename under My Computer (if using Windows).

Just confirming the "no YouTube on 4G" issue.

Doesn't work for me either.
[HTC Rezound] Blacktruck:
Where are you located? Trying to see if this a regional issue or not. So far several know issues in the NY/CT area.
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
+1 to YouTube not working. I'm up in Rochester NY, which is halfway between Buffalo and Syracuse.

Also, not a huge fan of how the WiFi widget brings you to the WiFi settings page instead of just turning it off like it did on my Dinc. Anyone else have that? I could have sworn when I first got the phone it acted like an actual switch, maybe I'm wrong. Definitely be nice if the widget could be made to act like a switch again though.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
I love my new rezound, but I've got a target icon, kinda like GPS icon, next to the signal bars that won't go away. Device gas been restarted, all location settings are off. Any ideas?

Also, I've got the extended battery, and the holster/case combo. VERY NICE!

Lastly, Swype works fine, but has some issues with text entry, at least with the stock browser

The built in "trace" didn't glossary my boat at all, rather buggy.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
That means location is off.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
I saw some screenshots without an icon at all, and this one is on if I have nothing checked in the location selection, or if I have Google selected. With Verizon or GPS, it shows with wifi like signal bars.

a small annoyance, and you have to wait for a new notification that uses the LED to come in for it to stop

tethering

Since getting my Rezound yesterday I have yet to have a stable internet connection from it and I am coming from an DINC where I could always count on it for a stable backup. Thats using the mobile hotspot app as using the usb tethering the phone wont stay charged

Also I havent had any problems with Youtube not loading. Watched a couple of videos right after I got it.

Maybe this is something new with sense 3.5 but I can seem to get the phone to stop notifying me that there are wifi access points available. I turned off the notifications in the phone settings but it still presents me with the notifications.

[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Have you shut off your wifi radio? I think notifications only applies to things like new email notifications, twitter, etc.
[HTC Rezound] lostintelligence:
From what I have read in other places this is a Carrier "feature" designed to encourage wifi use over their network [on multiple phones across different manufacturers]. It is designed as a data saver which could be considered nice for those on the tiered data plans...but the implementation seems much more like Windows Vista's UAC.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
It tells you to use WiFi for certain apps right? Go into WiFi settings, uncheck the thing under the WiFi network you're connected to that says "alert me when thers WiFi in certain apps"

Any ideas on this one folks? The display modelalso didn't have this icon in the notification bar.

I believe that means you're using VZW location services.

Isn't that there wen location is on 911 only?

Inc
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
Note, like I said, with NONE turned on, this shows.

It could be for e911, but since you can't turn that off, why have An icon for it?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Sense just has that. Don't worry once we have root that will be changed to a blank icon in most roms so it will be invisible.
[HTC Rezound] fr4c:
The "Target Icon" means that your location services are turned off. If they're turned on, you get a different "Target Icon" with emitting signals to the right of it.

This morning I just got 2 reboots, and 1 force close.

the reboots happened when I tried to add the HTC facebook chat widget, twice (it works now tho) and then an FC when i was sending a voice text using the google search bar.

after I spoke the message, it displayed what I had said, and then FCd
[HTC Rezound] staticx57:
No offense, but did you read my post where I stated I turned that check off?

This makes the most sense unfortunately.

No, I did not turn it off as I use it. However I am only interested in using it at home and work and other places I know have wifi. Call my lazy but I don't want to worry about installing a location app or turning it off and on myself.
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
Battery life sucks! And I wish it was a way to disable sense
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
what? I got 13 hours on it yesterday lol and Im in that "omg its new and i need to play with it every 2 mins!" phase

seriously, look at the battery life thread , most people are getting 10 to 15 hours of use. maybe you are just using it TOO much? You can kill the battery pretty damn fast if you want too. Sense has nothing to do with it really.

BY THE WAY!!!! common misconception is that dual core uses more power.. in fact that is wrong, dual core uses LESS power because it does not have to work as hard to accomplish the same task.

'Also, a dual-core processor uses slightly less power than two coupled single-core processors, principally because of the decreased power required to drive signals external to the chip'

'Multi-core chips also allow higher performance at lower energy. This can be a big factor in mobile devices that operate on batteries. Since each core in multi-core is generally more energy-efficient, the chip becomes more efficient than having a single large monolithic core. This allows to get higher performance with less energy.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-core_processor

think about it :)
[HTC Rezound] atomicwedgie:
SDCard: This is so far my biggest gripe with this phone. It uses it's internal storage as SDCard and the actual card as SDCard2. This means everything has to be copied from the actual card to internal memory if you want any exisiting app data recognized.

Youtube: I just watched 4 or 5 Youtube videos with no issue on 4G.

Soft keys: lights are driving me insane. Sometimes they won't come on in the dark, sometimes they do. Sometimes they come on even in good light.

Battery: this is only my first full day with the phone and my Charge would be at 50% by now whereas this is still at 68%. Good sign considering the battery has only been cycled once. If I went pure CDMA I am sure this would be much higher.

Gmail: Not automatically syncing and I have yet to figure out why.

OZMail notifications: I thought these damn text messages were gone but with my new phone I've gotten 14 of them already. *sigh*

Sense: I already installed Go Launcher but if you want to disable Sense you can. There's a video on Youtube that shows how to do it relatively easy.
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
Good, so I'm not the only one who's peeved at this :mad: Google Music doesn't see anything on my SD card because of this, and I can't seem to get MixZing to work either. This was very poor execution on HTC's part, there's no reason to name something "sdcard" when it's not a freakin SD card!!!
[HTC Rezound] kenc3dan:
SD card thing is a major issue that they need to patch. Hoping there is a hack to just keep the damn buttons lit whenever the screen is on. Who cares what the ambient lighting is! This bloatware is a pain too. ICS and root can't come too soon. My call quality has been poor across the board as well....speakerphone, Bluetooth, handset. Buzzy, metallic on my end. Callers complaining also. May need to swap this thing out.
