Does it whine all the time or only when plugged in? If you are using your phone to play music on your car stereo and using a car charger at the same time you may be hearing ground feedback.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I see... I also can only see mine if its pitch black and the screen is black (but lit) or if I stand the phone straight up and look down at it... Hmmm

I also noticed it getting a little warm on my pocket earlier, but it only got to like 92 degrees. So I killed all my processes and that fixed it, it was also using data while it was warm all on its own, must have been an apply or something
[HTC Rezound] acroanidd:
It whines constantly, whether or not it is plugged in. It's not "noticable" over music.. however any pause in the music will cause you to hear it... and worse off I listen to Opie and Anthony (Talk Radio) via the Sirius/XM app and it's noticeable and annoying. There is a catch though, when it is plugged into the car, the noise gets even louder and higher pitched when the RPM goes up.

I'm a former car stereo junky and know the sound if it is just in a head unit / amp is caused by bad grounding in the car. They make what's called ground loop isolators to remove this noise. It actually makes me think that there is something wrong with the power / grounding inside the phone itself. This does not happen on my old OG Droid, my wife's Incredible, or my Zune HD while being plugged in. And as mentioned before it still happens whether it is plugged in or not. Some further troubleshooting that I cannot explain that may mean something to someone out there is that if the audio processor is actually turned on in the phone itself (when you have music "playing") even with the volume turned all the way down but still playing it is noticeable, pause it and wait a few seconds and it goes away... something about the audio processors is creating feedback

I managed to get the thing back from the boot looping dead after many factory restores and trying different combinations of sim card in / out, sd card in / out, airplane mode on / off, and then turning off the lte radio, it was a nasty 2 hours but it is working, so i dont have to drive back to the store tonight but im not happy about it either.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
That sucks man, get a new one, I love this thing but of course mine is working perfectly. Everyone gets a bad phone sooner or later.
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
After a very close inspection again tonight...I do notice a small light leakage on the right side of my phone, toward the bottom.

It's about one millimeter long, at most, and not worth returning unless I have other issues.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I used my beats eat buds and played with them in the audio jack to see if it was bad or anything and its not... it actually sounds better than I thought it would :-D guess I got one from a good batch? Though I don't think this phone was available down here until like a week after it was released
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
I notice it aswell, not bothersome though
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
My bottoms leak to the point that they cause a glare on a dark screen. I can only see it at night but its starting to bother me lol.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
I noticed my computer speakers have static when the phone is near them, try the headphones in airplane mode and see if it changes, atleast then we will know what is causing it.
[HTC Rezound] acroanidd:
As part of my previous troubleshooting I tried several things, airplane mode was one of those things. The problem still persisted, it did the same with no SIM (which would cause the radios not to work)

I really think if your phone has noticeable problems with the headphone jack you should definitely replace the phone.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
First Rezound in, going back

Got my Rezound today from Verizon Telesales. Will not connect to the internet via 1x, 3g, or LTE (outage is only LTE). Speaker also broken (extremely tinny, even on a phone call). Going to go to a corporate store to see if they will swap.

Exactly what I was afraid of with this phone.

Wish me luck.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
WAIT!!! It's not your phone!!! Network is down today all over the country!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1380438

pming you to try to save you the trip. ;)
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
nah, if his speaker is ****ty, then he def needs a replacement. damn dude, sucks that your worst fear basically came true with getting the phone! here's hoping the next one's a goodie
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Right. I wonder if HTC is using someone else to build their phones or for supply... Cuz. too many of the same issues. I think I'm going yo try and wait a little while to and swap mine out (button glare is starting to annoy me) hopefully they will be making them a little better by then lol.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
I'm Back

Took almost 2 hours because the system showed things like Serial Number Mismatch and Pending Order. The replacement unit speaker works fine (first one was tinny and busted, like my DINC #2), and got internet as well. Now the big question, will it overheat and bootloop.

It is good to know that Corporate stores will exchange a telesales ordered phone. That will help!

Thanks for all those who knew of my plight and wished me luck. We shall see.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I think the over heating a booting issue was before of the SIM cards... So if it does, its possible your sim card got fried or something lol.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, I kinda glossed over that part after reading about his/her 4g problems and wanted to alert him/her asap since s/he thought it was the phone. lol.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Yup

It was 1x and 3G too. They would show up as icons (never LTE because LTE was down), and would show up with plenty of bars, but NOTHING would connect to the internet. Getting onto WiFi was pretty hard, but without WiFi, no connectivity. Matching that with a blown speaker meant yet another brand new Rezound which was defective out of the box.

Current one working fine so far (fingers crossed). Got it loaded up, did a titanium restore on some games, and a fresh titanium backup.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
dude, titanium? so you temp rooted it? anyone ever wonder if maybe these temp root things are causing the problem? i'm not even gonna bother..my inc was rooted, but honestly, i hvae NO need to root right now. those bloatware apps aren't killing my battery, they're just annoying...so i think i'll wait for perm s-off etc before i get into rooting again!
[HTC Rezound] jasek78:
i got drunk and tossed my phone in the sewer and now it won't turn on wtf?
[HTC Rezound] palmsole:
There is no phone impervious to that as far as I know... Short from wrapping it in ziploc :-D
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
...

Jay - I temprooted today my working phone. The non-working phone didn't get out of the gate. I restored/backed up and doubt I will be temprooting it again. Phone has not rebooted on me, so maybe I am good ?!?!?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
hmm thats interesting...i can't believe so many phones failed quality control. like, how can that be happening?
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Going by the poll I posted, we're under 80% success rate for good phones first try.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
A poll like that will never even be close to accurate because a TON of users that have phones that work perfectly will never find their way to this site at all.

A lot of posters stumble across sites like this (from a Google search) when looking for a resolution to a problem they have with their new phone. If their phone worked perfectly (like most of them do) they never would have found the site in the first place.

~John
[HTC Rezound] punman:
That's a good point, but I was hoping that we'd get a better cross section these days from all the lurkers waiting for S-off who are reading the forum, and have a working, problem-free phone.

Also I doubt your Google "search" hypothesis: we've seen that new users to this site are completely incapable of searching for anything. :)
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
ROTFL, good point bro!!

I laughed me ass off reading that (I'm still chuckling)

~John
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I agree. You said it much better than I did in the poll thread.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Ugh I sold another Rezound today that had horrible pink lights... Thankfully it was to a girl though lol but still, the problem is getting out of hand. I think every one my store has is pink now! Ugh
[HTC Rezound] JeffersonLewis7:
No issues

Have had my Rezound since November 14. No issues at all. I do have pink lights, but don't consider that a performance issue. Chalk me up for a victory with the Rezound. Love this phone. Would love it more with "S" off and perm root. I have not temp rooted yet.
[HTC Rezound] Tmask32:
First one from vzw.com had a bad ear piece speaker ,minor light leak and the LCD seemed weak.Second one from local vzw seems ok.Note: first phone had 3.8v battery,and the 2nd is a 3.7 volt battery. Both missing some htc widgets that I miss.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Is anyone having issues with apps not filling the screen? For example, TMZ only fills a little more than half the screen. Watch ESPN zooms in on the streaming video. Can't get any videos to play on Skyfire. I've searched for these issues but haven't seen anyone else complaining about it. I need to know if I have a messed up phone or not. Any feedback is appreciated.

[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
Is there not suppose to be any light leaks at all? I have some around the bottom of my phone. The two middle "red" buttons are a little pink so I would think the light leak is the problem.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'd return mine too if it had those issues... I wonder if different areas got bad shipments.(as in some places got the first few batches shipped earlier)

Mine has none of those issues. :-\ that sucks, and usually its my luck to get the messed up stuff too lol...

I'm glad someone posted most of the reported issues (basically) in one post though,

Im a first time verizon customer, and they also told me I only had 2 weeks when I got mine (Nov 18th I think) so ill probably go see what the nexus is all about and if it blows my mine (lol) I may switch to it... But idk if I can handle not using sense for a year
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
# 3

I am on #3 and I think #3 runs hotter than #2. Getting different stories from Corporate Customer Service (who sent my #1) and a local store as to who will let me trade in #3. I will try to go to a different local store instead of continuing to take the inventory from the same store, but I may have to leave for the Nexus as well if this doesn't resolve soon because I don't want to be stuck with an overheating phone. I do not want the Nexus. I want the Rezound, but I don't seem to be able to get one that doesnt get hot quick on any internet access.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i sold another pink buttoned one today.....dear god, they were BLATANTLY pink. this was the worst one out of them all...but, it was to a girl, and she bought a green TPU case....sooooo......it looked like a watermelon!! lol
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Lololol
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Lol less than 80% wayyyyyyyyyyyyy less. I had 3 with dead pixels and audio issues. My 4th one is okay minus the audio issues, gg HTC saying it's not "wide spread" talk to their tech support and only get a bull**** "no ETA on fix".
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah ive yet to have someone come in due to overheating problems, but the pink buttons are bad. nobodys said a thing though.

also, anyone notice the accelorometer is weird? for example this lady came in and was playing air penguin or something, where on the iphone you hold it portrait mode, and the accelerometer works fine. on the rezound when you hold it that way, the penguin goes flying to thes ide..so im like wtf? so i held it landscape, and it worked fine...thing is, the screen doenst change..it stays portrait, but you hold the phone sideways for it to work rgiht...

when i went on our demo iphone and played it, if you turn the iphone landscape, it does waht the rezound does portrait: penguin goes flying off to the side. i had a problem wtih NFS i remember where my car just kept turning to the rgiht and i couldnt control it so i uninstalled it...is the accelorometer f'ed up in this phone?
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Did you run the G spot sensor Calibration Tool?

# 4

Well - I am on Rezound # 4 but have not started loading it up yet; decided to charge the battery first. It is entirely possible that I am either [1] getting from the same bad batch, [2] letting people on XDA talk me into a heat problem when there isn't one (107 ... no SHOT 107 unless your data is off), [3] super unlucky.

Anyway ... wish me luck on #4.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
107 is too hot unless its that hot outside or wherever you are... You probably are getting phones from the same batch... And there really isn't any way around it... sucks that HTC is letting this slide and verizon too... I know these people read XDA and get complaints on their websites...
[HTC Rezound] dmwagner25:
Ok, so I am new here on XDA. Atleast for posting. This will be my first. I have read over 100 pages in this thread and have not yet found an answer to my question. With the Rezound I am mainly receiving my text messages when I wake the screen. I cant imagine 90% of my text messages arrive at the exact moment waking it up. Is anyone else having this problem, or does anyone know a fix? I have notifications on, and sleep mode completely disabled. Its not a serious issue... just quite the pain when you have to keep turning on your phone to receive messages... ANY HELP WOULD BE WONDERFUL. VERIZON was no help at all. and coming from the Bionic, this phone is GOD!!!!
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Idk that sounds fishy... Even with sleep mode it doesn't completely disable to radio, u should still be able to get texts and calls at least... NeW phone time lol.
[HTC Rezound] dmwagner25:
I have read it a few places on the internet of people experiencing the same issue, but none of the forums had replies. I am just trying to avoid Verizon at all cost. I replaced my Bionic 3 times, and then they finally gave in and traded it for this. Its just such a hassle transferring everything over and having to run up to Fed-Ex to ship back the old one. This is the only complaint I have with the device. Of course too, when I try and recreate the problem for the Verizon reps. Works perfectly. Figures right!?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lol...but yeah, i did that. it's calibrated right. wonder why that game would be so messed up?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
What temp monitor programs are you using? Cause I don't think there is one to monitor our CPU temp, just battery temp atm. I could wrong though, not sure.
[HTC Rezound] xRogerxC:
I guess I got pretty lucky. Not a single issue with my Rezound, and I've had it now for a month! Good luck for those having problems, hope you get your problems taken care of.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
When does it try to sync? Right when you connect to your computer? Is it actually trying to sync or is it just mounting the partition that's on the SD card and autoplay is opening? If you're on a pc you should be able to stop that with the autoplay setting. I don't think it would be trying to actually sync with vcast unless you installed it on your computer.

I wonder if there's a way to just delete that partition from the SD card. I don't know enough about the file structure on these things to mess with it myself. Or maybe delete the autorun file within the partition that mounts.

I could be totally wrong in my thinking but that's what happens when I mount my phone and I've never installed any of the Verizon software. I just get three new drive letters and one of them is all this Verizon ****, it shows up last.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
That I know of, it's a file within /system that virtually mounts to windows when connected.... It's doesn't need to be in sync mode or mass storage. Only way to stop it is to delete it, maybe disable it

Swyped from my Rezound 4G
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
That's what I'm thinking. So if it's actually trying to do the syncing and he's getting a sync error due to lack of space he must have installed something.
[HTC Rezound] bozidar0:
agree with xRogerxC

I agree with xRogerxC, I haven't had any major issues in this post. Although if I got the Galaxy Nexus I may start having problems with my phone :p
[HTC Rezound] tim.tahtinen:
Not an issue, per se, but something that concerns me from time to time.

It seems like the Rezound's MHL connector, while making a super-snug fit with the charging cable that's provided with the phone (love it, by the way; feels so much sturdier!), makes regular micro-USB cables feel loose. It just seems there's a lot more give when I'm using my Motorola car charger, for example.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I have many micro usbs and some are snug and some are loose, and one from an older HTC phone falls out if I move my phone lol... It just depends on the cable
[HTC Rezound] tim.tahtinen:
I'll just chalk it up to manufacturing variances, then. (Gives me reason to buy more of those MHL charging cables. :))
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
MHL connectors are freaking legit. I often wonder if I dropped my phone if the insides would pull out and still be on the charger :-D
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
Is this normal?

I got my HTC Rezound on the 12 of December and havent had any issues done pixel test all checked out...But I noticed the light at the keys in the pic attached
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
I've had 2 Rezounds so far, both are/were that way. You do have the pink buttons though!
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
everrybody has that light leakage..the thunderbolt has it, and almost every phone now has it. can't really do much about it..i never notice it.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I was also thinking the buttons on his look pink... If you set the screen to the auto brightness you will never see the light leakage... If you set it to 10% you will, on a black screen
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
FYI guys, i've submitted this thread to HTC and they are aware of the pink button issue now (i just got a call back from an HTC rep about the issue and gave him the link for this thread) so he's going to search through here for all your pink button pics so he can submit them higher up. i love their customer service!
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
what about all the other issues? Button color is the lesser problem of them all lol.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
haha that's what he called back for..i spoke with ANOTHER rep about the crappy audio quality in videos, and the background noise through headphones lol..so far, two diff reps have spoken to me, which i think is awesoem
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Gud that they are showing interest. Or at least pretending lol. How could they not know this was all happening though... They make the phones and use them (don't they use them?) They probably all have Nokia phones lol
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lol well, clearly it didn't pass testing well....

but the pink buttons, i highly doubt they turned every phone on. mine doesn't have pink buttons. mine just has the interference noise and the crappy audio. i bet their tests of video camera are like non-real life tests..they probably do it in a nice, well lit studio with little to no noise going on so they can't hear those clicks and pops
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
Have anyone actually returned theirs due to the pink buttons? I dont see it as a big deal at first but now its bugging me...lol
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Only guys who aren't secure about their manlihood. :p
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:

Red Buttons
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Those look pretty red to me. And they're pretty much exactly like mine. I just realized, after comparing yours to mine, that mine don't really look "pink" unless it's in a dark room. And since that's my only real "issue" with this phone, I'm damn happy. This phone is amazing. :D
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
This is my second rezound. I took the last one back because of a bad earpiece speaker and ended up having 10 bad pixels(it started with one). I didn't realize how pink my old phone was till I got this guy.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
!!so many bad pixles! Err... I don't have any yet, and that's what my keys look like too... Red as can be really... I was thinking that it would be cool if they put multi color leds in for buttons :-D so we could change them at a whim
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Thanks for the picture dpiddy. I'm thinking mine is somewhere in the middle...... But closer to pink.

hey nils if you read this thread, remember when I had that problem on your sense 3 roms on the incredible where the screen just became unresponsive for sense... but you could unlock it and restart it? i just had that happen on the rezound. it happened after i plugged it into my car charger... but taking it off didn't help. I had to reboot the phone to have the screen be responsive again. weird!

I've had mine for almost a month with no major issues. My buttons are nice and red. I do have some light leakage around the bottom bezel, the section where there is no screen at the bottom corners. Kinda hard to explain. But doesn't bother me.

Sent from my HTC Rezound!
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Well, my 1st Rezound got stuck in an endless reboot so I went in and got a brand new replacement. My first one was having heat issues and a quick battery drain. So far the new one has neither. So, if you have heat issues, go get a new one if you can. I do have two slightly pink buttons but I'll take that over 3rd degree burns on my thigh any day.
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
I had to got get my second one Friday due to dead pixels.

The new one leaks light all across the bottom, on the side corners, and a few millimeters up the sides.

Unless I get different advice here, I'm not going to consider light leakage a problem as long as the screen is good.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
My 2 Cents

There are many worse problems than light leakage and pink buttons :) If everything else is working (signal strength, heat, pixels), I think you should hang on. Worst case, if things get bad, then swap it out.
[HTC Rezound] RiceHog:
I am also having similar bluetooth quality issues. I am using a Plantronics Discovery 975. Callers on the other end says it sounds like I am on a speakerphone. I was previously using the headset with a Motorola Droid X where callers cannot tell the difference. Does anyone know if this would be considered a bug?
