so did the replacement fix this issue for you?

My current phone is a replacement for another that had faded/pink buttons. Wonder how many replacements they'll let us go through.
[HTC Rezound] A-Gon:
Unfortunately, that has never worked for me. The problem I have is going from 4G to 3G. Since home is in a 3G area, I end up being stuck in 1x.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Sounds like you need a new phone :-/
[HTC Rezound] palmsole:
Someone else mentioned LTE ON/OFF app before. You might want to try that.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I don't know why I just thought about this but I did. My first Rezound would hit some pretty high temps. I could tell when the market place was updating because my thigh would practical catch on fire. The highest that I saw was just under 130.

In the process of bump charging, I somehow put my phone into a boot loop. I spent an hour on the phone talking to Tech and and he couldn't get it up and running. I told him about the heating up and he set up a replacement for me at the local authorized reseller since that's where I originally got mine.

The exchange was painless and the sales guy went through three phones to find me the best red buttons he could. I didn't change out the headphones since mine had nice issues and I kept all my cables.

Well, I just remembered, I used my original battery because it was fully charged. My intentions were to change that out as well since I thought I screwed it up but when the new phone worked, I totally forgot about switching it out. So, same battery, different phone and my phone rarely gets hot. And when it does, it still has hit 110.

I'm starting to think my back cover theory might hold some water.

great device

had it for about a week and a half now with zero issues. cant say the same for my razr. traded up for this with the loss of the headphones... :(
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Awe :( I just bought a pair of diddy beats that sound sick (better than the ibeats it comes with) for 42 dollars lol. They sell online for 180 shipped. Look around you can find them if you want them xD
[HTC Rezound] JoeAndDroid:
Rezound antennas in back cover

Korm,

What is your cover theory? I do have some concerns about all the antennas on the cover (i.e. the little gold contacts) but I must admit that the Rezound has the best WiFi reception and by far the best Bluetooth coverage of any phone I've owned. Every other phone would crackle if I had the BT headset on my right ear and the phone in my left pocket. The Rezound doesn't do that. WiFi range is much better. Cell reception is about the same as others. My concern is if the contacts on the cover fail, the phone would have no antenna and could overheat or burn out the cellular radio. Is that what you think may be happening with yours? The only time my phone got hot is when it was in a boot loop due to the WCDMA issue.

Joe
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Someone mentioned in another thread that they noticed the entire back of the phone heating up and not just the location of the battery. I noticed the same thing after reading his post. So I wondered if it had something to do with the antennas. It's funny that most people don't have overheating issues with the extended battery that has painted antennas. Put the two backs side by side and there is definitely a difference in build quality. Hell, it may even be a material issue and nothing to do with the paint. Just a theory based on observation but I feel I'm all alone in my belief.

thanks for the heads up!
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Let's put some stock batteries in phones with the extended covers and see if we can heat them up.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I would but after my replacement phone, I haven't had any issues with overheating. Someone else will have to test the theory.

[HTC Rezound] Zuramon:
If you have battery issues just upgrade to the ext. It lasts me all day and I pretty much dink with the phone all day 3g and 4g. Also just change the power setting from high performance instead of turning off LTE in net settings. It will help more that way.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
A) I don't feel like carrying around a phone bigger than cell phones from the 90s.

B) I bought this phone for its power and performance and I'm not going to cripple it.

I do have an extended battery but I don't use it unless I know I won't be near a charger for over 8 hours.

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
I'm away from the charger everyday, all day. Stuck carrying around a smart brick in my pocket.
[HTC Rezound] JoeAndDroid:
I just carry 2 spare batteries. That will get me through just about anything. Getting back to the original subject though...

The two most likely things to cause heat are the CPU and the cell radio (i.e. transmit section). The cell tower monitors your phone's signal strength and adjusts your phones power output to maintain an adequate signal. I am wondering if the antenna contacts are an issue for those having heat problems. If the connection is bad, your signal will be bad. This will cause the cell site to tell your phone to increase transmit power, which will generate more heat and kill the battery faster. It would be interesting to know if those having heat problems are seeing low signal strength and/or poor battery life. -Joe (Rezound)
[HTC Rezound] MarvinPontiac:
My Rezound is slighty acting up. Not sure where to get help for this but figured I'd try here first. The problem happens when I'm playing games where I have to touch more than one part of the screen. For instance in a racing game I'll have to touch for the gas and also touch to steer, the problem is that when I am holding down one button and then touch another, that first buttons action completely stops. So back to the racing example, if I'm holding down the gas button and then tap the steering button, the gas button stops working and I'll have to press it again to get it going again.

I know this seems like an issue with the app but it happens in all my games where I need to use multi touch. Even happens when I am using emulators. Is there a setting I may have messed with that cut out support for multi touch? I'm on the latest software update.

Would appreciate any help. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] MarvinPontiac:
Uninstalled Golauncher and restarted my phone. Fixed it so that's good but now I'm stuck using Sense which just doesnt look nearly as good as the themes I had, oh well. Does anyone know why Golauncher would cause this issue and if there is anything I can do to fix it?
[HTC Rezound] Demiurge7:
How is an ext battery crippling your power? I dont mind having an ext battery - I would rather not have to worry about charging throughout the day. I dont look at it as a big 90's phone, but rather a very, very small computer -- at least thats how I justify it :)
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I believe that was in reference to another part of the post dealing with changing settings and not the battery itself. Bottom line, if you can justify it, that's all that matters right?

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] Demiurge7:
Yessir!

Sorry, missed that half but found it - glad there isn't some sort of connection between the ext battery and the inherent power of the phone, thanks for the clarification!

Not that I'm aware of and sorry if I caused any confusion.

[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Apparently last night something on my phone drained the battery so bad, it wouldn't boot on a charger (I tried 3). I had to plug it in to my PC and force an ADB reboot several times just to get the phone to start charging. The battery was reading 0% @ 3.55 volts when I finally got it to boot.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I assume my data dropping in and out still is Verizon's doing? Just flickers on and off some times. I catch it occasionally. It does it for a few days usually then stops for like a week. But while it s happening my battery dies faster. :confused: is this Verizon? Both rezounds do it, and my old one that was never updated did it the same

Loaded music on my sdcard yesterday.

Played shine through the phone.

Rebooted this morning and bite just the cover art is there, no music files.

Anyone know how this could happen?

I haven't plugged it into the PC yet to see if files show up on there out not.

Stock. Whenever I wipe, I have to reboot atleast twice.... To get it to lock on.

Anyone know if thus us a bug or hardware?

Just got phone... Version on it is 1.02.605.6

Wifi, cell radio, airplane mode

I've had the Rezound for about a week, overall I'm very happy with the phone. I'm running on unlocked/rooted stock, no custom kernel or ROM.

I have wifi set to sleep after 15 minutes for the sleep policy. Sometimes after turning on the screen and watching wifi reconnect, it doesn't seem to be truly connected. Icon is lit, full bars, but I have to toggle it again or toggle airplane mode to make it really connect.

Related problem is that a couple times I noticed that not only would wifi seem to not connect after waking the phone up, but the cell radio had issues too. A few times I've tried to make a call after waking the phone up, had full bars, and the call wouldn't go through. No ringtone, just kind of sat there and acted like it was dialing. Only solution was to toggle airplane mode again. This may also be related, but once or twice when the phone screen was off, incoming calls didn't ring the phone and I only found out later when I got a voicemail notification. Again, I had full bars.

I do have a lot of bloat frozen, I'm wondering if I could have frozen something the phone needs, though that seems unlikely since this is an intermittent problem.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
In the apps section there is a thread that lists all of the freezable apps.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
Yeah I checked, I think I'm ok there, not sure what's causing the problem with radios when waking the phone
[HTC Rezound] JoeAndDroid:
I have the same issues with WiFi but not cell. It started a few weeks ago. I've had the phone since the end of December. Stock but unlocked and rooted.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
Are you using the same wifi sleep policy (sleep after 15 minutes)?

This is happening very frequently now. I'll do some tests on the sleep policy, I like using the 15 minute one because it definitely seems to conserve battery.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
It's been my experience (Dinc) that using WiFi saves power when located in areas where Wifi Signal is strong which is most of the time unless I am commuting. I always have WiFi on and on the Rezound, I turned off the sleep policy as I need communication all the time. Likewise for GPS.

Most of my syncing is email related (Exchange via Touchdown), I don't do much social media.

So far, it is way to early for me to know how battery will be with this device as I am still playing with it more than I normally do, but it doesn't seem to be getting overly hot, about ~105F, and the battery doesn't seem to be atrocious yet.
[HTC Rezound] JoeAndDroid:
Yes, 15 minutes. And for those asking how to change this:

-Settings

-Wireless and Networks

-WiFi Settings

-Press Menu button then Advanced

-WiFi Sleep Policy
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I ran into this.... coming from a Droid Incredible... toggle there just turns WiFi On and off... Rezound, goes to settings...

I found a widget that works like before called WiFi OnOff which does exactly what the toggle did on my Dinc.

With the device switching the buttons to the right side of the device instead of the left side that the Dinc had (a reason why a dock didn't work good with it), I found reaching for the power to turn off the screen a pain as I hold the phone normally in my left hand. I found that Turn Off Screen Widget works well for this. I like to turn the screen off when setting the phone down when I am not going to use it so I don't accidently click on something.

When I first attemted to play music through the phones speakers it didn't work I forced closed the htc music app and my speakers were stuck in limbo when I attemted to turn my ring down and my sound bar was stuck on media I ended up factory resetting the phone
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Search didn't pull anything up using XDA Premium... Noticed early this morning that the time on my Rezound was of by an hour... If I uncheck use network in dare and time settings and choose AZ it pops ahead an hour to the correct time.

Kind of like it doesn't know where I am.

My Dinc never did this. Is this a known issue..

Thought it was 2am when it was actually 3am.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
This is a known issue with no real fix apparently at this time. I just set the timezone manually to Arizona.

This apparently prevents the Verizon app from working as it insists that the network time setting be used, but I rarely use that.
[HTC Rezound] JaySinCT:
Sorry, but confused a bit. On the Advanced setting page above, it says for sleep policy that the timing is when to turn off wireless in favor of network. I understand letting the wireless go to sleep after 15 minutes can save battery, but if it reverts to the Radio network at that point, doesn't that defeat the purpose somewhat?

Thanks.

[HTC Rezound] KrimsonStarfly:
Just got this issue earlier today.. My phone was working fine this morning. Didn't touch it for awhile, and when I go and unlock it Sense tells me it's force closing. Then it began only letting me get into the system for about a minute before crashing completely and rebooting the phone. I attempted reinstalling with 3 different ROM's and all have done the same exact thing.. This is really crummy. I did also try removing anything else in the phone, along with different batteries completely. I also can't get it to let me connect via adb/fastboot and issue commands. Any ideas guys? I'm gonna try to see if I can get a replacement at the store tomorrow, most likely.. Not sure how well that'll go over.

Did you try the boot looping steps in its thread? Taking out the SIM card?

[HTC Rezound] JoeAndDroid:
WiFi Sleep Policy

The network radio is always on anyway (unless in airplane mode) so the assumption would be that having both on will draw more power. I will tell you this, when I have been on a cruise and turned off the network radio, the phone lasted over a week on a single charge so yes, the network radio is the big power hog as well as the display. but if you think you are saving power by leaving WiFi on, I would say no unless you turn off the network radio. The problem with that is you will get no text or calls.

[HTC Rezound] Cool_story_bro:
3.7 battery apparently
[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
My battery refuses to charge completely; the only way I can get it to 100% is through bump charging, otherwise it will max at 99% and drop to a 3mA charge current...and will drop to 90% while on the charger. I don't seem to have an issue with the hTC extended battery though...
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Sometimes mine does that, will get to 100% right away, sometimes will sit at 99% for hours.

I noticed sometimes when I select shutdown under the power options menu, it never fully shuts down. I just get a blank screen with the soft keys lit until I pull the battery. Doesn't do this if I select restart.
[HTC Rezound] dottat:

[HTC Rezound] Cool_story_bro:

[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
I have light leakage under the HTC logo under the capacative keys. You only see it in the dark, and apparently a lot of HTC phones have this, and it is considered a manufacturing artifact.
[HTC Rezound] JaySinCT:
I had one of the 3.7 Batteries that would do the something similar (not charging to 100% despite light being green). I never had a drop to 90% though while on the charger. I called Verizon support on 611 and they overnighted a new stock battery and return shipping label to send the original one I got with the Rezound back. I don't have "hard evidence" but the new one seems to last longer for similar days work vs. the one that came with the phone. At times, simple tasks would seem to draw larger than expected amounts. It actually was a question the tech support guy asked as well.

MHL/HDMI

My mhl/hdmi will work when I start playing videos, but not for the regular phone screens (homescreen, apps, browser, etc). Is it because I'm running the CleanRom icse 3.1 with 4.0.3 and sense 3.6? I've seen it works on other peoples.:confused:
[HTC Rezound] cpham817:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but most HTC phones do this. It is to prevent the battery from overcharging. My old HTC Mytouch 4G did this as well. The way to get it started to 100% again is to unplug then replug. The green light will turn orange and commence charging again.

Also, make sure you are using the charger that came with the phone. Having chargers with a lower amperage (spelling?) tend to do that as well.

I noticed this problem and decided to take my phone back, so i relocked and ran latest ruu.

Pluged in my headphone and played some music out of curiosity and the problem is gone. I cant reproduce it. I was running a version of clean rom ics, when i noticed the problem.

Now i want to keep my phone but i dont want to run stock.

Any thoughts on this issue?

Last night I loaded a video of my daughter on Facebook and when I tried to play it on my Rezound the video was very distorted but the sound was fine. I also tried to watch a Video on my Friendstream app and it also would not display properly. I used 2 apps, mVideo player and streaming video player and they both would not work.

I also have the Incredible and my wife has the Incrdible 2 and the videos worked fine on those 2 devices.

Any idea what might be causing this :confused:

Latest RUU

The new radios get much better reception. One thing that may be the new leak or possibly always been the case is that the CPU seems to run max speed no matter if you use a CPU controller to set it lower. If the screen is on, it seems that the CPU is zooming along at 1.5ghz.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
From what I've noticed with stock kernel, is that the CPU actually bounces between max and min quickly when the screen is on, most apps don't show the bouncing.

WiFi eats battery?

I just noticed this last night. I was watching netflix with the charger plugged in and was still loosing battery power instead of gaining, or even staying even. So I went into settings to turn off anything that might suck power, other than turning most sync items to just once a day and turning off WiFi I really couldn't change much else that I could find to save battery. Then I went back to watching the movie, an hour later I checked the battery usage and it was actually charging. Has anyone else noticed that the WiFi seems to stay on constantly even though you aren't connected to a WiFi source? If the WiFi is constantly sending out to try to find a signal that might make a big hit on your battery.

For info I am updated to the latest RUU Build number 3.11.605.22

Kernel version 3.0.16

Running CleanROM 4.1

Has anyone else who is having bad battery life and the phone getting very hot on this latest RUU found other things that might extend the battery?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
If you are not using a WiFi connection, leaving it on can use a lot of battery use because it is constantly seeking out a connection. Unless you are in a strong WiFi location that you are using, you should always turn off WiFi.

However, if you are in a strong WiFi area, you can get better battery life if you use it instead of 3G/4G... those use more power than a solid WiFi connection.

Likewise, if you are not in a good mobile data area for 3G/4G, turn off mobile data if you don''t need it as that will eat your battery fast as well.
