Have had my Rezound since shortly after Thanksgiving. No problems to speak of. Very happy with the phone, build quality and overall look and feel. Earbuds are fine and comfy. I ran cleantool to debloat, and since I run GO launcher EX, froze most of Sense as well. Battery life is acceptable for an LTE device and properly tweaked can give me 14 or so hours before it all goes dark. Went to a VZW store last night to mess with the Nexus and while nice, will be keeping my Rezound.

So has anyone come up with the workaround for /sdcard

Since this is | will be a 'feature' of Honeycomb & Ice Cream Sandwich,

I wondered if there is any hope of a work around to cope with major apps

like KINDLE & NOOK not providing a way to tell them where to find their

app data directory (they ONLY look in /sdcard and the data are no longer

there, since /sdcard is no longer the real sd card, but what older versions

called /media)?

Thanks

I don't know if anybody or everybody knows, but I can confirm the light leakage that comes out of the bottom, corners and sides a little are because of the 4 LEDs.

i can NOT for the life of me get a picture of my lights like that, so that it shows that they're red. in every pitcure with my digi cam, they show up WHITE lol the light just bleeds

yay, my crappy eris was good for somethign! kinda....lol:
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Does the light show under normal usage? I've had my Incredible for almost 2 years, and until now I've never noticed the lights show like that. But I've never thought of using my phone at such an extreme angle.

I was ready to trade my Nexus for the Rezound, after reading this thread, I'm not so sure I want to.
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
It is hard, but I know now this is good advice. When paying for the phone at full price, and paying a term contract from Sprint...it would be nice to have a perfect phone. <fantasy
[HTC Rezound] awmobjects:
I've had mine since 11/14 and so far everything has worked just fine and no signs of any of the reported issues...in fact, I just returned a Galaxy Nexus after 4 days because I was more pleased overall with my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
might wanna think twice about that. your nexus has just as many problems that actually affect how a phone is used, i.e., terrible signal and low 4g speeds, not to mention 4.0's clunky ass interface.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I wouldn't give you 2 cents for a Nexus.

2 of my coworkers have them & they are the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen (and I was on a waiting list to buy one)

Samsung has never made very good quality phones, but I think the Nexus is a new low even for them......

[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I don't really have any issues with it, other than the reception isn't as good as my Incredible, but there is a update for that soon. A software update won't fix the pink buttons and light leakage.
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
I used them for a bit yesterday. They were fine. Actually hurt my ears a bit after extended use though. Not any more uncomfortable than some decent noise-cancelling Sony buds I have, and probably comparable sound quality.

It's hard for me to be wooed by anything from Monster anymore. In my youth, I spent way too much money on products that didn't last from Monster. The earbuds are just a bonus, in my mind. I would never make them a significant reason to buy the phone, personally.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
monster is a ripoff, period. i used to own monster cables for all my guitars...two of which crapped out on me, and i never bothered sending them in for repairs...

and when i bought a SHORT ass 1 foot cable to connect my guitar cab to the head, it cost me like 25 bucks. yeah, i mean, i've had it since 2006 and it's been lasting through gigs and whatnot, but sitll, 25 bucks? lol

[HTC Rezound] dmbatson:
So far no issues still getting used to sense.

came from only using samcrap and sprint so this is already 100X better for me.

Just sad inductive charging isnt part of the back that came with it and it will not let me connect to my password protected wifi at home (it works if i create a Static IP)

those are my only issues but both can be resolved easily.

now just hoping for root to get rid of ads!
[HTC Rezound] rtc1036:
I charged mine over night and took it off the charger at 7:20 this morning. I was at 11% at 5:15 and that's after a day of moderate use. I was downloading market apps, checking email, texting, etc. The only issue I have had so far was accessing the market, but when I went into Verizon they said that Lookout Mobile Security has been creating problems with market access. As soon as that was uninstalled, everything seemed fine. I am in Minneapolis right now and have been in 4G service all day. No issues with YouTube on 4G. Just played a COD trailer and it ran fine.

I am a far more impressed with the Rezound's battery when compared to the TB. One other thing, it accepts by TB spare batteries. I'm not sure if it's harmful or not because the Rezound battery says its. 5.9 watts and the TB batteries are 5.1 watt. There's also a difference in the mAH of the batteries, my spares are only 1400. It also puts and exclamation mark on the battery notification, which means it's an unknown battery and not communicating correctly with the phone. I think for a temporary solution it should be fine - we shall see though.

Overall, for a first days use, I am impressed. I would've held out for the Nexus, but I wanted the SD card slot.
[HTC Rezound] username235:
Yeah, Monster cables have always been a rip off. Especially 25 for a short 1 footer. But you know, honestly, Beats have been nice, I have some Solo HDs, and they sound amazing, the only problem is that the actual cushion part has come off a few times, and I've almost lost them. Really annoying. So I duct taped it to keep it together. Lol.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
honestly, i'm impressed with these little headphones, and the beats eq in general. very bassy, but the EQ sounds very nice..not too much compression on there really, so i think it's going to be nice listneing to stuff through it!!
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
you know, they did some test awhile back comparing different brands from cheapo ones to the monster cable ones & found there was virtually no difference
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah man, it's just like HDMI cables. monster sells them for 80, you buy ones for 5 bucks on monoprice.com and they're IDENTICAL. it's a joke lol
[HTC Rezound] Zytryx:
Not so much of an issue but the earbuds just aren't comfortable then again I never like buds. Too bad you couldn't choose buds or over the head type.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i'm gonna post it here, but there's definitley an issue with sense 3 and the birthday integration on facebook..everybodys birthday in the people app shows a day early. it's really annoying.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Zytryx, I felt the same way. All earbuds fall out of my ears. Not sure if it will help, but try a different sized tip. They are included in the Beats case.

Jay, that's more of a facebook issue. Did you try reinstalling facebook?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
it's been like this since my incredible lol it's an issue with sense integration with facebook..but they still haven't fixed it :(

I have no issues with YouTube over 4g... Over all I'm very happy with my new toy
[HTC Rezound] Blacktruck:
I went back you the vzw store to see if they could check it out, and if coarse they were pretty clueless. Tech guy called it in, said they would get back to me in 48 hours. While they were on the phone,I went over to the demo phone, and it had the same prob as mine. Maybe its an area network issue? Was thinking of doing a hard reset to see if that fixes it. Other than that, phone is great and my 4g speed is incredible.

Seems like its a YouTube issue, no vid in app or in browser. Videos not on YouTube play great.
[HTC Rezound] Zytryx:
The bottom of the bezel on my phone is unglued, it's also the same place you pry to take the back off, I wouldn't doubt that's why it's really hard to get the back off. Going to have to take it back in to see if they will swap it. It's not bad but I worry about it getting worse.

Does it have Facebook for HTC sense?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
nope, the rezound doesn't..it only has Facebook, which i assume is from the app. wondering ift hat's why my contact pics are all messed up in GOSMS as well. i know it was redundant to have both on the old versions of sense, but in some ways it wasnt :(

Has anyone had problems with the "media servers" in the gallery? I should be able to stream from a NAS using that. But as soon as it opens and shows my server the app just closes. It does not force close, just exits back to home screen.

Other than that, nothing else except the pink buttons.

Traded my Nexus for a Rezound last night. The buttons are mostly red... Battery temp has been up to 41C. Other than that, no issues to report.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
haha yeah, the boss man and i are pissed at the amount of pink buttons we've been selling. it's pretty annoying; he really wants a rezound bad, but he doesn't want pink buttons..since he's a corporate account, he has to get it online, and can't do it at our store or a corporate store because they have a special way of doing things..and he doesn't wanna get stuck with pink ones nad have to keep returning it until they're good.

I was wondering why the rep who activated my Nexus said he had to order his online. Do the corporate accounts get discounts?

How is the GPS on the RZ normally? One complaint about most Samsung devices was bad GPS. The Nexus seemed to do well. Tonight I had the RZ basically follow my location as I drive. It locked quickly, and it did follow me. But the arrow made it appear as if I was driving over people's houses and into oncoming traffic. I will play with it more tomorrow if I can, as I don't want to assume it sucks after one or two uses. Just wanna hear other people's experiences.

Also, how about the camera? It seems to pick up light well in low light situations, but I get a lot of multicolor grain in my shots. [example]

Also light during the day can really darken shots way too much.

Shot 01 - Random shot of the horrible paint on the walls. Notice the sun hitting the towel at the bottom of the pic?

Shot 02 - Aiming the camera at that sunlit towel. Notice how dark everything is. Is this normal for this camera? I've tried tweaking the shots with suggestions on this forum.

Macro shots seem to look good, and I did a video while in the car (as passenger). Video was a little dark, but not bad overall.
[HTC Rezound] lafrad:
I've had those same issues with the Camera. Somehow it is *way* too aggressive at light metering in the auto modes. if you have time, you can tweak a good picture out of it using all the manual controls, but that usually takes *way* too long and its quicker to walk across the house (or run to the car) to get the DSLR...

I've also had some nasty Auto White Balance issues with it too. I've got to go for a new phone soon (hot battery and awful sound quality) so I'll see if a replacement will fix it...
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
The GPS seems to be almost instantaneous for me. I wait usually about 10 seconds for a lock.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I've played with it a little more, this time I had it give me directions. Seems to do fine. Might have had just a bad GPS day.

Bluetooth signal loss & line of sight

I've had my Rezound for a little more than a week now and have very few issues with it. One of the issues is very annoying, Bluetooth audio streaming to my home theater or while in my car seems to lose signal If I hold the phone in such a way where the the bottom of the phone is "cupped" in my hand, Bluetooth audio will skip, pop and eventually stop playing all together. It happens with Pandora, DI Radio and TuneIn radio.

Now, As soon as I either set the rezound down or lift it up so my hand is not blocking the bottom of the phone, Bluetooth audio is clear again, no skips or signal loss.

We also have an HTC Incredible 2 and a Sprint Galaxy S2 in the household. This issue does not happen with either of those phones, using the same apps and under the same conditions, including Bluetooth car audio and home theater audio.

I've tried to reproduce this skip/pop and signal loss on two other Bluetooth capable home theater systems and in my friends Audi. Same thing happens with my Rezound. He tried it with his Evo 3d and could not reproduce the issue I was having.

I haven't tried to repro the issue using Bluetooth headsets yet. but I will tonight.

Also, I find that while audio is streaming over Bluetooth and the phone is set down on the table, not blocking the bottom part of the phone, and I try to surf the web, check email or reply to a text - basically any action performed on the phone causes the audio streaming over Bluetooth to skip and pop.

I can only speculate that the Bluetooth antenna is in a poor location and the kernel or sense 3.5 or something in the firmware does not handle CPU cycles / tasks properly when Bluetooth is enabled and streaming data. Not something one would expect from a 1.5 Ghz dual core.

Everything related to Bluetooth, described above is 100% reproducible at least on my Rezound.

Another thing that has been discussed in many threads is Sense 3.5 = resource hog, causing lag and stutter as well as occasional unresponsive icons. Can't wait for perm root and the awesome XDA developers who know WTF the they're doing to build a smooth ROM with a proper android kernel.

One last thing, this has also been discussed many times and not directly related to the phone itself....and its a very minor issue....the Beats head phones. Pink? Really? The Verizon store rep kept referring to them as "Dr. Dre Technology." HAHHAHA, Come on. I prefer my 30.00 Skull candy 50/50's over the beats any day of the week. 50/50's are not the best buds on the planet granted, but I like them better than the beats. Skull's don't require software emulation for decent sound quality.

Have you look at your Wifi sleep policy settings? Because screen off is one of them, I always leave mine set to never sleep. I believe you go to your networks menu and hit the menu key and click advanced or somthing like that.

I'd like to comment on the following issue:

6) A high pitched whine while listening to music through headphones [MANY people have this]

I experienced the noise issue while on my drive home from work this evening. I connect my phone to my car stereo via the headphone jack. When I took a call with my bluetooth and the music stopped playing, I could hear noise through my car speakers. Once I got home, I turned off my car to be sure the noise wasn't caused by a grounding issue. The noise persisted only when plugged into the phone. When I went to remove the phone from the car, I unplugged the power first before disconnecting the headphone jack. When I did this, all the noise stopped. The noise only occurred when the power was plugged into the phone.

So, I continued testing with a Verizon car charger and a belkin dual usb car charger with two different usb cables and all resulted in noise being heard through the headphone jack.

Can anyone else confirm this issue on their phone. I'm debating whether or not to return my Rezound.

Thanks

Update:

Instead of using the jack for the car stereo, I used the included ibeats headphones and there is close to zero noise. Noise is only barely noticeable if I have music playing with volume turned almost completely off. If I pause the music, there is a second or two of low level noise before it goes completely silent. I also tested with my Klipsch PC speakers and again, barely any noticeable audio noise (same as the ibeats headphones).

I'm going to consider the noise that I'm experiencing when the phone is connected to my car stereo as my car stereo being sensitive to the phones internal electronics noise/frequencies/grounding. Maybe I need a new car stereo to go along with my new phone? :) ...maybe a stereo with bluetooth instead of using the 3.5mm jack.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I have not noticed it when plugged into a wall charger or the computer. Haven't tested the car charger with headphones or a wired connection. No noise via bluetooth however.

Thanks for your input. I decided to perform some more testing and updated my original post.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
App called SystemPanel from the Market can do it.

When using/doing what? If it's on apps perhaps they are not updated for this phone?

Check out this thread with lots of camera info in it. Seems white balance isn't so good on this phone.

Camera tips to take better pictures

Your speculation on bluetooth antenna placement may be correct, that's what I was going to suggest. Someone posted a pic of where all the antennas are but I don't remember what thread it was in. The only one I know for sure is the LTE is in the upper right corner when facing the screen. I change music while streaming over bt in the car and haven't had this problem.

I don't have any feeling that Sense is a resource hog. Except for maybe one time I've never had any real noticeable lag and certainly not had icons not work.

As to the ear buds... pink??? They're red, not pink! I've heard of pink buttons but how can the buds be pink? lol. And btw... the buds don't require any special software, they work fine without using beats by dre. Oh, and did I mention they are not pink? :p

[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Ok, I don't know if this has been mentioned. I did not have the time to read thru all 41+ pages..sorry. Anyway, there seems to be a problem with the keyboard. It doesn't seem to matter what keyboard you are using, the same thing still happens. What happens is sometimes while typing...the keyboard suddenly closes at random when you hit a letter. I've had this happen in the browser andvin text messages. It's nothing serious. More of a tiny nuisance as you just tap the text box to re-open the kb. It happens maybe every 5 messages I write out.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Mine started doing it as I just noticed. It sounds like beeping high pitched noises for me, though, it only seemed to do it for a minute at random, if you don't listen closely or have background noise you can't hear it... But its there now. I've tried to duplicate it again by twisting the audio input and plugging it in a lot n such. but I can't get it to do it again now... I wonder if it could have been radio interference on Pandora or something?

There is no constant noise or static though... idk if I should try to swap it or not.. its only done it twice and its only briefly out of the many times I've used it.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
Annoys you guys are hearing when hooked up to 3.5 mm is probably a ground loop feedback. I had that problem with my last phone too, the solution was to pick up a 3.5 mm cable with a ground loop isolator in it.

My Galaxy Tab is mounted in dash on my car and was giving me this problem, but the new cord I got got rid of it

Here's the one that I'm using flawlessly.

That cable only has 3 contacts, our cell phones use 4. I think stereo would become mono with that cable.

Works perfectly with my Rezound, my wife's Galaxys2, my in dash galaxy tab.

Not everyone experiences all of the problems in this thread. Some have no issues at all. Mine has slightly pink buttons, and gets a little warm during use. During a run away process, my phone never exceeded 43C in temp though. My VZW rep had her Rezound for 2 weeks before she experienced the WCDMA bootloop issue.

I think I read somewhere that you might need an app from market to toggle 4G if you are having those problems. Try it

Do you think it would be better to just change it for a different one. It seems to me like a hardware problem.
