[HTC Rezound] clemarr:
I had the Bionic and returned it. I really liked the phone and had always been a fan of Motorola. But when I got the Bionic I started to notice that sometimes when I picked it up I had no 3G at all. I live 8 blocks from a tower. When I went to Indianapolis the phone played hot potato between 4G and 3G and then none at all. Last night I went to Indy with the Rezound and it locked on to 4G and held on to it. As a matter of fact it picked up the 4g way before I got to Indy which the Bionic didn't. So far I am happy with the switch. The only thing I wish it did have is an FM radio. I like to listen the our local high School sports while I am at the game.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I was just going to ask if that is why you went to Indy, lol. I went to Penn HS so I am a little disappointed right now to say the least. I F****** hate Yeoman though, so I am glad they lost for that reason.

On the topic of the signal not picking up, my buddy has a bionic and just switched the other day, he had a similar situation and even with extended battery he wouldn't make it through an 8 hour day at work with it bouncing between the 2 so he just turned off LTE. Now he pulls good reception like me.
[HTC Rezound] clemarr:
LOL no not just for that. We did see a lot of people wearing Penn shirts when we were killing time and driving around Lucas Oil stadium We went to see Jeff Dunham at Conseco. That man is funny as you know what. Plus gave me a chance to check out and see if the 4G and 3G played the hot potato game like the Bionic did. Now just waiting on the root.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
So obviously proven better performance!

I had friends who went for both. I have been out of school for 6 years, so not sure why so many people went, lol.

How was LTE in a crowded environment? Probably not enough people drawing on it yet to get a real feel. Did you do any speed tests?
[HTC Rezound] clemarr:
Dag gone it. LOL The data speeds was one of the things I was going to check when I got there but forgot. I did do some surfing the internet while I was waiting for the show to start and I was floored how quick web pages loaded and a couple of things downloaded from the market.
[HTC Rezound] paigow:
nope not Gorilla glass but that doesn't mean its garbage, just not gorilla.

I returned my bionic the first week, not impressed at all. I had major issues with the camera both video and pictures so the phone had to go.

I will say the only good thing the bionic has going for it is that the display works better outside sunlight.
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
The Bionic camera is laughably bad. I can't believe they release products like that.
[HTC Rezound] daleandla:
This is hilarious. I just swapped my Bionic for the Rezound as well... I was so excited to rock the Bionic....until I tried the camera....my old Tmobile Wing took better pictures than the Bionic. I was very, very disappointed. How could such a beast of a phone be sold with a cracker jax box camera? Well, I want the Nexus, but still waiting. So I gave this Rezound a shot. I've had numerous HTC devices, and they all performed well. This Sense 3.5 is a ram hog, but I just ran the Clean Up Script to temp root and remove bloat, and BLAM, all is good. The camera is fantastic, and the screen is gorgeous! Lets see how it does..
[HTC Rezound] rick.brewer:
I got lucky..

I went into the Verizon store 100% ready to pay full price for a phone. I dropped my Charge about a month ago and broke the glass. Just cosmetic because the screen and phone worked just fine. Then yesterday dropped it in the tub. Still was working but touch response was jacked.

So into the store... looked at the Razr and the Rezound. I picked the Rezound and at checkout, it rang up $299. I have only been a Verizon customer since June. My unlimited data is still on my plan and everything. Woot Woot!

So far really liking the phone. I was not sure if I could get over losing the Super AMOLED Plus on the Charge. I really did like that phone.

I don't care for all the crap-apps preinstalled on the Rezound. Verizon really needs to stop that!
[HTC Rezound] Irieone:
All over this too. I just got my rezound today after dealing with the bionic for three long months. I am absolutely thrilled with this phone. I was given the bionic as a replacement for a tbolt. I was thrilled at first, but the camera, data drops, piss-poor Bluetooth audio streaming , etc... was intolerable. After months of complaining, I finally got them to give me a rezound.

I'm in love :D
[HTC Rezound] paigow:
A friend of mine bought his first smartphone the bionic. Well of course he thinks it is badass, its his first smartphone. Oh and did I mention he bought it when the resounded came out LOL. I sure hope he didn't pay 300 for it.

I just didn't have the heart to tell him how bad of a purchase he just made.
[HTC Rezound] shankville75:
Wow, so glad I followed my gut instincts and passed on the Bionic. Coming from the DX, the Rezound is a Beast!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
Somewhere along the line, while side-loading apk's and just generally having a good time, my default notification sound changed to an old cellphone sounding ring.

I searched the Nook Color forum and found reports of a similar problem but no solution. Someone did include a zip of the audio file in question though, which is what I'm hearing now, too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916848

Has anyone else run into this and is there an easy fix?

Thanks in advance!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] robertely:
When i installed google voice i think it changed, but I changed it my self shortly after.

In google voice hit the menu button, then it 'More'. A seemingly Blank menu appears.

In reality this menu actually just has White text on a white background. If you press what would be the top option in that menu, it brings you to the apps settings. Where you can change the notification sounds.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
Thanks for the reply!

Isn't that an app specific setting for Google Voice? I have a similar setting for Enhanced Email and while it successfully changes the notifications for that app the other system notifications are still "Default Ringtone" which sounds like an old cellphone.

I might be misunderstanding how it works, though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
So it seems to be the stock email client where the notification issue is most noticeable. If I use a different client I can configure the notification sound but the default client *always* uses this default ringtone thing.

Do I need to wait until this is rooted and then just rename some system audio files?
[HTC EVO 3D] eyeisdasteve:
I just flashed Olympus Trinity XE Version IV on my CDMA EVO 3D. My phone will now not boot into recovery. I can only boot through fastboot. But it sucks having to use the computer everytime I want to flash a quick mod.

Any help?
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Try turning the phone on normally, then Flas Clockwork through Rom Manager!
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
Make sure fastboot is unchecked. Can you get to recovery if you battery pull and volume down + power?

[HTC EVO 3D] mikedavis120:
I can walk u through steps to use fastboot to flash a new recovery if needed. Pm me
[HTC EVO 3D] Karl:
How to install with Fastboot:

Download the fastboot binary for your computer from HTC

Connect your phone and boot it into fastboot

Run fastboot with the command

Code:

fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.img

or

Zip Install

Rename the zip file PG86IMG.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard. Power off the device and boot up holding Power and Volume Down. Confirm the flash. Reboot your phone and remove the zip file from your sdcard root or rename it.

[HTC EVO 3D] eyeisdasteve:
Thanks guys. I just wasn't sure if I could re-flash recovery.

Ill update once I get a chance to do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] eyeisdasteve:
So the PG86IMG.zip method didn't work. I think its cuz I'm unlocked but still s-on. Ill try the computer method and get back to you guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
flashing through fastboot will definitely work. I just switched from cwm to twrp last night. I am hboot 1.5.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Applestoandroid-fandroid:
Ok theirs a guy on here who made an awesome ICS theme that I want to get on my Samsung galaxy s 2. I'm not sure how to do this though. He says I'll need a custom deodexed rom (however you spell it) but it seems to me that custom Roms already change the setup/theme of your phone so do I need one ? Also am i gonna need to root my device first? Also is there a link to a good deodexed rom download that I can use?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Find the theme that you like and see with which rom its compatible with, then flash that rom and flash the theme over it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgsiocl:
there is tons of customs roms which gives u pretty nice themes.

1. Turkbey ROM fully themed

2. CHECK ROM - u can use kitchen app to theme

3. LIDROID ROM - you can apply diff themes using theme manager

4. TWlauncher 4.5, where you can theme the launcher
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
When I plug it into my computer, my Infuse running CM7 is not recognized when USB mass storage is on or in Odin in Download Mode. Yes, I have tried another USB port with no luck. Any ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
Just a quick question, did you installed Heimdall drivers for Infuse lately? that could make Odin not recognize the Infuse, you need to go into devices, look for samsung usb, and revert to previous driver.

If you havent installed heimdall, try another usb cable? my samsung usb cable woudnt detect my Infuse on some ROMS, but the blackberry cable did... ( yeah weird)

If none of that helps idk bro... i dont have that much knowdlege of cm7 =/

Hope some of that helps
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aom336:
What operating system are you running? Win7, Vista, XP, ...? After trying koriotto's suggestions (or in addition to them), just try running ODIN as administrator.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfab199:
I had the same problem downloaded Samsung PC Studio and that fixed it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cb63herb:
same problem

I'm currently having the same problem, I have the samaung infuse running cm7.2 with joker@linuxbozo kernal. Ever since I flashed this Tom my battery life has been more than terrible. So I have been trying to go back to stock for weeks now. I have samsung drivers installed,My computer recongizes that I have the Samsung infuse but wont except the Samsung drivers so I can't access my SD card storage or anything. Also Odin will not recognize my device when its in download mode. Any help would be appreaciated
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BrassGuy:
Try downloading samsung kies... http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I997ZKAATT#... then you'll for sure have the current usb drivers for it. If you currently have kies installed un-install it then download and install. I had some weird driver issues until I did that.

As far as the odin issue:

" Instructions:

1) Make sure the drivers for the Infuse 4G are installed.

2) Please unzip the .zip file.

3) Run Odin3 v1.81.exe (as administrator if you are on Windows 7)

4) Place your phone into download mode (pull battery, press and hold both Volume keys, put battery in and plug the USB cable in)

5) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM## "

Try another USB cable or port on the computer you're using...or

You could always buy a microSD card and a usb card reader... put zeus or another rom on it. Copy it to the root of the internal SD and flash it in cwm...

I only say zeus because it has awesome battery life and I've read of weird issues people have had that were fixed after flashing zeus. YMMV

Thanks a ton

I downloaded and reinstalled the original Samsung drivers and it worked. Thanks:good:
[Epic 4G Accessories] D3SSTROYER:
I was wanting to be able to hook my Epic directly into a monitor is there a cable or converter that I can I use to be able to do that.
[Epic 4G Accessories] slybarman:
I do not believe video out was ever supported on this device.
[Epic 4G Accessories] D3SSTROYER:
Actually they have the audio jack to rca and a rca to vga converter
[Epic 4G Accessories] KennyG123:
Yes, but the Epic has no video out support like mentioned above. That cable will work with the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch. Not our phone.
[Epic 4G Accessories] D3SSTROYER:
Yes I did some more research and came to the conclusion that its not possible...yet and I'm assuming that it will not ever be possible
[Epic 4G Accessories] D3SSTROYER:
Are you aware of any development on getting tv out to work? I tried reading the forums but there is just so many posts (most of them nonsense and repeated questions/answers)
[Epic 4G Accessories] saramon:
In short no, it is not possible. There might be more developments in the future, but as of now, and probably ever, no.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
Alot of developers have tried with no luck, talented developers. There were teams of people trying to get it working. Its a lost hope for us.
[Epic 4G Accessories] KennyG123:
It appears Sprint and Samsung put a serious roadblock in there somewhere as well has there being no drivers for it. Something to look for in your next phone. I am considering a cheap tablet running 2.3 like a Coby just to have video out.

Well that sucks...but thanks for the help!

You don't want to go from the epic to the evo... trust me my wife has an evo and the epic is far superior in every way except the hdmi out....

I agree epics are better then evos

+1 I rooted an evo 4g recently and I knew it hated me the second it landed in my hand. If you wanna root an evo, plan on an hour of headaches and possibly a broken phone from being thrown at the wall. Biggest pain in the ⓐ§§ to root.
[Epic 4G Accessories] A_Flying_Fox:
What's funny is if you look back far enough to the epic 4g ORIGINAL specs, the Evo would've had absolutely NOTHING on the epic (unless ofcourse you prefer a 4.3 inch screen...) and infact, would've seemed quite dated.
[Epic 4G Accessories] mouseglider:
I have a stupid question than - if you buy a DNLA or is it DLNA TV will the original epic 4g (not epic 4g touch) be able to play its video etc on a TV?

I ask, because I will probably have my epic until maybe late first generation quad cores and LTE come out on Sprint.

I love my original epic4g!!!! :D

I don't see why not...DLNA has always worked for me...on ps3 and pc. I don't have a dlna tv
[G2 and Desire Z General] aj_2423:
So I did an insurance clsim on my g2 and they told me it was on back order and didn't know when they would have it. So needing a phone I just went and picked up the g2x. Then the next day the g2 shows up at my house. So now I have a new g2 that I need to sell. But I had to pay 130 for the claim so I need to sell it for atleast that preferrably more. A local phone store offered me 165 for it but I thot I should see if one of my fellow xda members wanted it first. If your interested send me an offer either in the post or pm me. Thanks guys, later
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
It's refurbished, not new.

they don't send new as an insurance replacement. sry
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
Definetly a refurb, but id be interested if the price was right
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
I dunno, I'm pretty sure mine was brand new from a warranty replacement from Tmobile. It came with android 2.2 still on it and if it is a refurb they did such a good job I can't tell. Also, they told me, "We'll send you a new or like new device", so isn't it possible to get a brand new one from leftover stock?

Sent from my Bulletproof G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
It is possible, but i was under the impression tmo no longer stocked new g2's and obly had refurbs for replacements.

On a side note which band differs between the dz and g2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] aj_2423:
I really dnt feel like typing the story from my fone unless u want me to lol but.wat I actually did was a warranty exchange but paid for it so maybe it is new. Confusing I kno, lol will explain if u want. But ne one interested let me no
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1ForFun:
It is called a deductible. You pay it when you file a claim with any insurance (auto, homeowners, mobile)
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
I see, well maybe they have a stock of new ones they never sold or possibly it is a refurb and they put 2.2 on it assuming you'll update it after powering up. Either way I couldn't tell the difference, it's a flawless refurb if that is in fact what it is.

I'm not 100% that all DZ's have the same radio but one from Roger's Canada will work on AT&T 3G, not sure about HSPA+ though and the G2 functions on TMo. Vague answer I know, but it's all I have right now. :D

Sent from my Bulletproof G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
I know they differ, the dz up here is from bell, tho most of us dz users up north are with rogers :) thank god for the sim unlock :)

Im just wondering if i bought buddies g2 what wouldnt work on rogers....prolly 3g+
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Yeah it would most likely get edge only. That's what happens if you put a G2 on AT&T so I would expect similar results if you put one on Rogers

Sent from my Bulletproof G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
the difference between the rogers/bell DZ and the tmo G2 is the 3G band it supports. the tmo version only supports tmo's 3g bands (2 bands, 1 for up and 1 for down) while the rogers/bell support 3 (i think), one of which is compatible with AT&T's 3G band.

that and the G2 does not have Sense while the DZ comes with sense 2.1

i think that's about all the real differences between them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] antinerd:
Sounds like this would be a great 3G device for anyone in Canada on wind or Mobilicity (it is really hard to find a good android with a keyboard in Canada that works with Mobilicity and Wind).....I'm getting 3G data with my T-Mobile G2 on Mobilicity.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aj_2423:
no because i didnt do an insurance claim.. i did a warranty echange through tmobile, but paid for it. i actually think i found a way to get a new fone cheaper than paying the $130. see if u call t-mo and tell them something is wrong with ur fone and u want to do a warranty exchange, they send u a new device (or refurb or w.e they send.) u send ur old one back and if they determine that it was something u did to the phone, they only charge u $105 to ur account. now u got a new phone for $30 dollers cheaper than insurance. well it seems my forum has stranded away from its origin. is anyone interested in this phone or jus determining whether its new or refurbed. lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] oneoseven:
Id be interested in buying it off you depending on how much more than 130 you want..I'm still using a g1 and would love to upgrade to this phone as I've wanted to for a while

Dudes rockin a G1, sell it to him for the price of shipping, its only fair! :) everyone deserves a G2!

[G2 and Desire Z General] add119:
All i can say sell it to the store if no one want to give you 165 and up .
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
if you get no love here, put it on ebay, my brand new sealed G2 cost me $325 to my door last month! - and that is a typical amount they bring there.

Tomorrow T-Mobile is having a sale and I have been thinking about dropping Sprint due to the price and poor service for a while. This seems to be the perfect opportunity. I have narrowed it down to either the S2 or Amaze I am having a hard time deciding. I have been reading some negative things about the S2 having screen color issues and artifacts and it being not up to the same level as the other variants.

With your experience with this phone would you recommend it or not? Also does it play mkv videos like the other Galaxy S II variants?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lakeshow423:
Coming from the Sensation...then returning the Amaze, the S2 is all over those two phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rasstar:
What about the issues like the low dpi and artifacts on the screen? Also can it play mkv videos out of the box? I have an evo 3D on sprint and I love that phone and was thinking to stick with HTC since Sense UI is so nice. I'm having a hard time deciding. I also read that it has issues producing accurate colors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dnguyen1988:
The resolution is not an issue and the screen issues are in my opinion over exaggerated. I'm not saying it isn't there but you have to look for it. Its really apparent in a dark room with the brightness all the way down.

I still think this screen is gorgeous. The colors are really vibrant.

Not to sure about the videos but I will definitely recommend this phone. Give it a shot and if you don't like it return it and get the amaze. I'm sure the amaze isn't a bad phone but this phone is just phenomenal not as buggy and troublesome as the Sensation was.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sablemonster:
I have seen the lines and blotches on my screen, but only after reading about it on here. Its probably something you would never notice with normal use. I would definitely recommend this phone. Keep in mind coming from sprint that t-mobile's definition of "unlimited" includes soft data caps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xhyperion:
I came from the epic. Only thing I don't like is the data throttling but the 4G is something you'd never see on sprint.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rasstar:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mountainbyker:
The phone is amazing but network much worse for me than Sprint. I had original EVO then Photon, neither even close to GS2 in all but call drops. I drop about 20% of my calls on Tmo and only dropped about 5 during a year and a half with Sprint.
