You must have seen my thread! lol

Chill out guys, the phone gets better with more development, complaining about issues that can pretty easily be resolved with some Dev effort isn't going to get us the Dev effort we want. There is an issue thread, lets keep everything confined to that thread unless it is a question that hasn't been asked. That way, they can see what the issues are, and take action as they can.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
like i post everywhere, especially on youtube (because youtube=full of haters)

Nexus fanboys have become as bad as Apple fanboys. period. they're JUST as bad now, and they're annoying as ****. whatever, let him return it and get a phone that's got no definitive release date. he can have fun with his boring, ugly stock android while we love our looks of sense.
[HTC Rezound] shankville75:
I can say that I've had 0 issues with this phone whatsoever. Which is very surprising to me being that every phone that I've ever had always had something about it that I didn't like. I can't find anything with the rezound that I don't like. No lags, battery life is good, zippy, and the screen is amazing. I haven't used the task killer as of yet and I don't think I'm gonna have to. Not trying to sound like a fanboy but it is what it is.

I think I figured it out, in the afternoon I plug the phone in to charge so it will be fully charged by the time I get off work. At that time is when I was experiencing instability. What I found the cause to be is a cheapo usb cable. Anytime I try to use the phone with that cable plugged in it would exhibit instability and a jumpy screen. It would stop immediately after I unplug the usb cable. Never had this type of problem with a cable before, I've had phones not charge because of loose fitting cables but never had a cable screw the phone up like that.
[HTC Rezound] theclueless:
if you are plugged in, check your usb power adapter
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I usually change batteries often enough on my tbolt that it isn't a problem, but I like system panel app's widget to kill all. If my phone starts to bog down, just hit it on the home screen and everything gets cleared. You can set a list of apps for it to ignore as well.

As far as nexus fanboys, yeah they are getting bad and tech bloggers are the worst. Reviews of the nexus have actually been pretty middle of the road. Engadget said that it is not as smooth as GB (ICS) and the camera was disappointing. You also can't mount your storage to usb to transfer files and the screen has some amoled issues, esp. with brightness turned down.

I'm definitely favoring the rezound, but will wait till I can score one on Craigslist for about 300.

1. Titanium backup to backup apps

2. Boot to recovery - wipe data / cache / dalvik

3. Flash new ROM

4. Titanium backup to restore apps

5. Rebuild my homescreen and settings etc

J/w how the rest of you guys flash new roms. Anything else I should be doing when flashing a new rom?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergie716:
Only think I would add is to wipe /system while in recovery. You can do that by accessing the "format /system" option in CWM Recovery under "Mounts and Storage"

Also, maybe make a Nandroid Backup before wiping /data incase something goes wrong
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefsfempire:
I'll be honest I could care less about anything on the ROM itself. Apps I just reinstall, contacts/email/calendar resync. All my music/pix are saved to the internal memory.

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Wipe boot/system/data/cache/dalvik

3. Reboot ROM and reinstall all apps and accounts

I don't like backing up the apps because I like the "starting fresh" feeling by putting back in the apps I actually want.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irizwan:
What i do

boot into recovery

wipe boot/system/data/cache/dalvik

install the rom/kernel

boot and leave the phone for 5 mins then reboot again =D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
I know a lot of users will disagree but I simply nandroid, factory wipe and then flash the new rom. A factory wipe clears data and cache and flashing the rom will wipe system and boot. I've yet to have an issue with this method. I also know how to recover from most problems I could encounter on my own. Additionally, i'm a member of the do as i say, not as i do club. Always nandroid and follow dev instructions is what most people really need to do.

It looks like work has officially started on the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Cyanogenmod as per a Twitter post last Tuesday.

It's slated for a January release, so something to look forward to after coming down from the Christmas/New year celebrations :)

Oh god, can't wait! But don't forget, as someone pointed out in the comments: it just says "check back", not "CM9 will be finished" in january - could be a beta release.
[Desire HD General] Scottymeuk:
I honestly dont think he was being specific about a release date :P
[Desire HD General] MrFezZ:
True, but going off past releases hopefully it wont be too far off.

2.2 SDK was released May 2010, and a RC of CM6 came out in early July 2010.. stable by August.

2.3 SDK was released early December 2010, RC of CM7 was released mid Feb.
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
Yes but Google changed how the source code was released with ICS. No longer are they adding the needed device library files. Those have to be built from scratch or provided by the devices manufacturer
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seano666:
EDIT: After many headaches, I would recommend just using Go Keyboard. It's free from the market and theme-able.

I've tried almost all of our custom ROMs and for a lot of them Swype is not working correctly. I know not everyone uses it, but I happen to like it a lot and am always trying to get it to work. I've managed to finally figure it out thanks to BigFau, and also have a working APK for all to DL and install. This version of Swype is black themed (love it). Anyhow this is what worked for me (the Beta install did not work). Must be rooted for this.

1. Download the Swype .apk http://www.multiupload.com/MB6HBKH3D0

2. Use Root Explorer (or similar) to delete Swype.apk (system/app) and libSwypeCore (system/lib).

3. Restart device

4. Confirm Swype is uninstalled and not showing up anywhere in settings/locale and text menu.

5. Navigate to downloaded Swype apk and install.

That's it, it may update itself after installation, but has been working fine for me. Let me know if anyone runs into problems. Hit THANKS if helpful.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] seano666:
Worked fine in Max Q rom, now i'm on Darky's and this is not working. Sorry guys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seano666:
But now the Swype Beta works fine for me on Darky's. I think it has something to do with the ROM base. Max Q is leak-based and Darky's is JVQ-based.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Yea..I'm on darky...keeps fcng...lol...its all good...I was just trying it out, I don't use swyoe anyway...good job tho
[Samsung Infuse 4G] projectvirtue:
for those of you where its force closing, after rebooting, reboot back to recovery and clear the dalvik cache, boot back up and then install the APK.

what do you use dman jw. as much as i love swype, i hate how they lack a feature to blacklist the random words that make no sense. is there a better keyboard?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
SwiftKey X and Go Launcher, both have Swype like features. On Go Launcher you can change the keyboard background.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seano666:
I tried Slide-it for a while too but I can't recommend it, it sucked. Where are the keyboard preferences in Go Launcher?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
Sorry it's Go Keyboard made by the Go Launcher Ex group.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seano666:
I hadn't found a good replacement yet, but this seems to be a winner so far. Changing OP to recommend this instead of Swype headaches. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
I use the ics keyboard...lol..I like to atcually type my words..:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seano666:
LOL that's what I used to think until I got used to it. Now pecking on the keyboard is really slow and unnatural for me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Dman, no offense but as much as you misspell you should totally learn to love Swype it could be your best friend, lol. It really does grow on you, plus it learns words as you go and you can still peck single letters when you feel the need. just saying "atcually" haha, again no offense bro.

Swype on any rooted firmware

Never had any problems adding working swype to rooted firmware

Here is my short explanation for Swype installation

for US and UK English, Francais, Francais Canadien, Italiano, Deutsch, Espanol, Portugues Europe & Brasileiro, Nederlands, Dansk, Svenska, Suomi, Polski, Cestena, Slovencina, Romana, Magyar, Русский and 4 more asian than I can not spell

0. Rooted firmware + Titanium Backup + Root Explorer (or someting) + Swype (attached txt file with link)

1. If you have some Swype preinstalled pls goto 1.1 if not goto 2.

1.1. use Titanium Backup {menu} -> Batch -> Uninstall -> Un-install all user & system app -> deselect all than select ONLY Swype and uninstall it

1.2. Use root Explorer. Go to /system/lib and delete libSwypeCore*.so If you have in /system/lib folder /armeabi than go in and also delete libSwypeCore*.so

1.3. reboot!

2. Install Swype.apk

3. Use root explorer to "extract all" swype.apk

3.1. Use root explorer to ../extracted/Swype/lib and copy folder armeabi to /system/lib (don't forget to mount it R/W). Goto /system/lib/armeabi and copy libSwypeCore*.so to /system/lib

3.2. reboot!

4. Open settings and enable Swype and desired languages

As usual, I'm not taking any responsibility of bricked phones or whatever...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bluetoth10:
so 6. you just need to put new libSwypeCore*.so from your extracted swype. apk to /system/lib/armeabi and /system/lib
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaraya13:
I just used this APK from the txt file and it works great, but I just install the APK and that was it, no need to do all these steps.

I am using CM7 in my Infuse by the way... Thanks.

Easier is always better! Thanks for the tip man.

I followed these steps extracting a Swype.apk from a ROM that I know it had it, and the new Rom I'm trying did not had it as default.

It worked perfect!

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JustKiddingAmI:
Will this work on different OS versions?

I wonder if this would work as you move from Froyo to GingerBread to ICS, the compiled .so file should be different for each OS?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] j.smith:
Using CM10 and grabbed the current beta downloader for Swype and had it download whatever current beta version it got (which is 1.1.1.7628) and it's working perfectly. So glad to have Swype... by far the best swiping keyboard I have tried, though I do wish it had a bit more customizability like some of the other ones (wish you could resize it and apply themes).

*EDIT*

Ok, after having Swype installed for two days, it seems that it's directly related to VERY poor battery life. For whatever reason, Swype keeps the phone awake, causing the OS to run and chew up battery like mad. Seems that even though Swype works, it certainly holds true to it's name of "beta".

[HTC Rezound] fr4c:
After 2 days of use the stock Rezound battery can easily last me 10+ hours of use, so I've been on the lookout for a higher capacity battery that keeps the slim profile of the phone, as opposed to the larger 2750mAh external pack that adds a hump to the back.

Stumbled upon this today:

http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-rezound-extra-capacity-battery-1800mah.html

An extra 180mAh puts it close to what the GNexus would ship with, and just might be enough of a boost for the light/moderate users. I'm just hoping that the rating is indeed 1800mAh and not one of those cheap knock-offs that can barely keep up with the stock 1620mAh.

Ive had my eye on that battery as well, wont be instock till next week though, since the thunderbolt battery fits in this phone I have been contemplating buying one of the slimmer extended batteries used for it and using it in the rezound, atleast they are already tried and tested so we know which ones are working as advertised.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
you must be a minimal user to get the battery to last that long.

after doing some streaming(or downloading), watching some videos & browsing the web, the phone lasts about 2 - 3 hours w/ stock.

(yes i know about bump charging, calibrating, etc)
[HTC Rezound] theclueless:
strange, the battery is no longer listed on the htcpedia rezound accessory page, but the link still works
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
If the 1800 is a good quality battery and can fit in the standard back plate I'm down to get it. get about 4.5 hours is display on time right now so I'm cool with that. But if it was 5 or more I'd be even more down lol.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:

I am wary about any off brand batteries that list only small gains like that. Seeing as how there is no HTC branding, I am betting this is an off brand.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19726447&postcount=20
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
I have to think that legit companies like Seidio don't do this when they sell extended batteries.

Their 1750 for the Eris/Incredible (came with 1300mah) really did seem to add hours of life to the usability of the phones. I must assume that some companies rate things in terms of usability, and some do _not_
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
pko, i had that 1750, and it didn't do crap. the life of it lasted much less than HTC batteries did; seideio makes crap batteries that are a sham. many people did studies and found it was barely a 1400 mah battery. i bought the stock HTC 1500 mah battery fort he inc and it added more time than the 1750.
[HTC Rezound] Jonezilla:
I had the same exact experience.
[HTC Rezound] micnn:
For those who fail to see increased usage time using non-oem batteries, could you mention also the brand of those batteries? I am in the market for a larger-capacity battery (only when they will come out in the near future, I hope). And based on the reviews on Amazon there are a couple of brands that seems to be receiving fairly consistent positive reviews.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I picked a pair of these up on ebay yesterday. Came with the charger (which is what I *really* want, as I already got a second stock battery on sale) and another power cord (which you can never have too many of).

I used similar OEM batteries in my Incredible, also 1800's which just barely fit inside the "default" back. I'll report back on my experience after I have them and run them for a few days. I did find that the ones in my Incredible ran pretty well.

I know everyone's pretty cautious about OEM stuff on ebay, but I only buy from USA sellers with near 100 ratings, and I have never been sorry. On the other hand, my Seidio extended battery pretty much burnt out about 9 months after I got it.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Beware the placebo effect. Also know that people have a tendency to try to justify their choices. Make a bad purchase and you find ways to turn it positive.

Those things can color reviews.

should come in today so i can see over the weekend if its any improbement.

EDIT: these register an error (the exclamation mark over the battery) and do not charge in the phone)
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
As much as I hated to do it, I found that simply disabling 4G extended my battery life a lot. I figure that 3G is fine for GPS or email, but if I want to download a file or something more intense, I can quickly enable 4G and then disable when I am done.

Not optimal, but it is free and most of the time basic tasks with low amounts of data being transferred don't really benefit from 4G, so why take the battery life hit if you don't have to?

When I want to stream a movie or something, or upload a large picture to FB, or maybe a video to YouTube, then I put 4G on and then it makes a big difference...

[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Coo coo
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I didn't think so, based upon earlier good experiences with batteries on ebay, but it turns out they were both 1800 mAmp 3.7v batteries, which, we all know, don't run properly in the Rezound. They're going back.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
:-( I think mine is 3.7v like my standard one? Lol but I could easily be making that up. to lazzy to take it apart and look :-D
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
why does the fact that they are 3.7V mean they won't run properly in the Rezound? Stock batteries in the rezound run at 3.7V as well as 3.8V
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Personally, I can't figure it out, I don't have the electrical engineering background. What happens with the 3.7/1800 batteries in is that: (1) the notification bar icon for the battery is greyed out with an exclamation point over it, indicating the device can't measure the charge remaining properly; and (2) when plugged into the charger, the LED flashes alternatively red/green, suggesting that either: (a) Christmas is near or, more likely, (b) the device can't charge the battery.

I'll stick to my pair of stock batteries until someone comes out with a slimline that works for sure.

[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Extra 10% would be sweet

I don't seem to be having all the batteries problems with time and temperature. I have a stock Rezound, never unlocked or rooted, OTA current and stock 3.8 battery. I have GPS, Wifi, and Mobile Data on, CDMA only, and Background data sync off, display generally at 20% unless I'm outside in the sun. The majority of my internet time is using Wifi, not 3G, so this may make a major difference.

Typical usage during the day would be 1 hour usage using music app and GPS tracking in the morning, another 1 hour of music app during the day, 30 - 45 minutes of phone calls/text, 2 hours of surfing/market during the day, 1 hour of reading.

Looking under Battery Use in Settings: typical is 12-14 hours of "up time" and 5-6 hours of "awake time" with battery percentage at 20%. No bump charging.

An extra 2 hours would get me through the day perfectly. Going from 1300 to 1500 on my Dinc made it last the day, about 14-16 hours.

bring on that 1800.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Perfect size would be a 2000mah battery(pref from HTC) that doesn't have a need for the extended battery cover, or maybe the extended battery with a a slimmer battery cover(I am sure they can do it as there seems to be enough space for a larger 2900-3000mah battery. lol

Don't like the price, but if the battery life is really better and it really lasts longer, I may return/sell my extended battery and just get this, unless someone releases a larger and better battery that doesn't require a larger battery cover.

What is the average expected battery life with the standard battery? Now what do yo think could the expected battery life of either the 1800mah(if it really is 1800) or 1900mah battery? An extra 2 hours, more, or less?
