[HTC Rezound] ihyln:
I spent a bit of time lurking around on d**_null's site and while I hope that they will eventually get S-OFF or perm root the amateurish way they are going about this leads me to think it won't happen anytime soon. At least not by them and I quite don't understand the guy's abrasive attitude.

Unfortunately, I went out and got the gnex yesterday and I was hoping really hard there would be S-OFF before the gnex release. But I do believe the Rezound is a great phone as well and I hope it gets unlocked soon.
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
So it comes down to, somehow Google has greater sway with Verizon than does HTC. Which seems odd given the number of successful phones ($) each has had with Verizon. You would think HTC would have greater negotiating power, apparently they don't.

Grow some cojones HTC! :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
True. Although I am betting that Google, with having but a single phone to make and support(via Samsung), could have walked away from VZW and gone to any other carrier who would have been happy to get the phone.

It is a great phone, but what really makes it great is the OS and the unlocked bootloader. The OS, we will get soon enough, but it really sucks that we have this locked bootloader. I am sure that we could get an ICS port that is faster and works better than what VZW/HTC can put together, months before they do.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Google doesn't make phones my friend. They hold no sway over Verizon directly. I think you may be referring to Samsung. And in the eyes of Verizon, nobody holds more sway than good ol' Moto. Everyone else might as well be a direct competitor to Verizon themselves.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Samsung may make the phone, but it is Google that is calling the shots on it. Samsung made it for Google, and Google can sell it to whatever carrier they want.

If it was up to VZW, they would lock the bootloader on the Nexus, but I think that Google would tell them to piss off and go to AT&T or Sprint who would love to have a flagship phone like that to add to their Xmas line up.

I think that between a choice of VZW having to contradict themselves and allow an unlocked phone on their network, versus to losing sales by letting the competition get one of the most highly anticipated phones in history, they chose to set aside their own policy and allow it to be unlocked...
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
I share your same sentiment regarding the progress being made. It seems a bit half assed from what I've seen thus far.

I wish there was a way for us average users to become educated enough to search for exploits ourselves.

I really hope the Rezound gets unlocked before all the Devs up and leave for the nexus.

IMO, the nexus loses to the Rezound in terms of hardware, so I'm not interested in jumping ship, but if an unlock doesn't come within 6 months, I'll probably exercise my best buy "buy back" program to sell this phone and get the next best thing on the market. If we have to wait that long, all the devs will be gone anyway.
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
Right, I realize that Google doesn't make phones directly (poorly stated on my part and putting aside the Moto thing), but Sammie doesn't have any other unlocked phone, so I believe that Google is driving the "openess" of the nexus. So how/why did VZW cave on one not the other, I attribute it to pressure from Google. Not sure what...
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
That is a good point. Right now the Rezound is one of the best phones you can buy, and Devs are lined up ready to work their magic on it. But if enough time goes by without success, then they will move on to other newer phones and we will be stuck with whatever VZW lets us have.

Granted, an OTA of ICS that we can debloat and de-sense like we can with GB now, would still make for an amazing device, but one of the reasons I got this phone was for some ROM's and things... Would be a shame to see that wasted.

But VZW and HTC don't care, they still sold me a phone, so they already made their money...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
The Nexus line is a show piece of Android's latest and greatest. Verizon bid on getting that device. They WANTED the Nexus. The only pressure Google has exerted on Verizon is via the FCC control of the C-Block sale. Google pressed the FCC to add a stipulation on C-Block that whoever bids on it will need to keep the devices on that spectrum open.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
So how are they allowed to keep the Rezound locked and the GNex open? This doesn't make any sense.
[HTC Rezound] clos101:
Maybe I'm slow, but I just don't see what makes the rezound so much better than the nexus.
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
well, the gnex only really has ics (which will come to the rezound soon) and a larger screen. other than that, the rezound pretty well has it beat, and if there's more better specs on the gnex, then i'm sorry i didn't mention it.:)
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Rezound pros:

Build Quality

Non-Pentile screen

Higher PPI

Better front camera

Better rear camera

Better GPU by far

Better reception

Better 4G consistency

Includes $100 pair of earbuds

Removable microSD card

USB Mass Storage

Nexus pros:

ICS (which rezound will get eventually after the kinks are ironed out by early adopters)

AMOLED screen (albeit pentile with overblown colors)

Better CPU (though not by too much)

Thinner and Lighter? That's personal preference though, I prefer the heft of the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] clos101:
i'm just being impatient. I should hold out. I have zero issues with the phone as it is. It can only get better with root and the glory that comes with it.
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
I agree. I've been kicking the idea around too about flipping to the nexus and I'm even past my return period so I would have to fleabay it and buy the nexus off contract. But honestly the ONLY thing that buys you is immediate unlocking. It's really a side-step/downgrade as far as hardware goes in my eyes.

Evil just posted up a video on Youtube about why he's be procrastinating on the Vigor (Rezound) and it seems like a pretty good excuse, so I'm a little more hopeful now that progress on the Vigor might speed up.
[HTC Rezound] clos101:
Do donations ever speed up the process? lol
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I'm kind of sitting on the fence with the Rezound on one side and I'm not sure on the other. I'm not really interested in the new Nexus....

I currently have a Droid Incredible, and was one of the early order users who got it when it first came out, and then nobody could get them for months. some of the lack of accessories was due to the lack of users for such a long time

Waiting for root also took a long time but it is a solid device that I've never really had any problems with and it still works well.

I've had my eye on the Rezound way back when it was the Vigor... figured it would be my next device when it finally came out.

What has me still on the fence now is...

o Cost. A new device that still sports a new price. Not really keen on being on the bleeding edge again (would be 3-4th time), paying a lot for a device that still has other missing pieces like:

o No Perm root (S-off). It is better than when I first got my Dinc though as there is a temp root which was not available when that first came out.

o Data plan... I think VZW is really screwing with this... I've already got a 4G Hotspot. It is not hard to use a lot of data. My current Dinc doesn't have it, but can use wifi to my hotspot without any issues.

o Battery life... not so sure on this yet either. It would appear that this is at least a lot better than the thunderbolt was, but my dinc can go 14+ hours without topping off.

I might just wait until after the first of year when these start being getting discounted more heavily, nothing like seeing a device you paid $299 for being sold for $99.
[HTC Rezound] ihyln:
After using the Rezound for a week and switching to the GNEX I find the build quality on the GNEX to be just as good as the Rezound. I think people are equating heft with quality which is absolutely untrue.

The GPU in both phones I would consider equal. The GNEX's GPU is actually underclocked and a few GSM ROMs are running it at a higher clockspeed so it could tip the favor towards GNEX.

The one and only issue I could see is the lack of USB mass storage. For me personally it didn't affect me one bit. I started to realize how awesome it was to have one place for storage and MTP is plenty fast compared to writing to SDcards. With dropbox and wifi the issue is mitigated but not for those who plug their phones into the aux port in their car for MP3 playback.

As far as the camera is concerned the iphone 4s beats both but not by much. After using and comparing for the last two days there are no practical differences in image quality.

So bottom line what phone do I like more? GNEX.

If both had S-OFF which would I pick? Hard to say, both phones are absolutely great however I really do not like sense and I always prefer AOSP roms on HTC phones. But if you had S-OFF on the rezound and had to consider USB mass storage then get the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] clos101:
The rezound is bulky with the extended battery, but I use it heavily and work 12 hour days M-F. I'm down to about 15% when I plug in before bed. So, 7A to about Midnight. Incredibly solid battery life with the extended battery. And this is without root or any mods. I'm like some people and don't mind the extra bulk.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Can we sticky this post, or make it an announcement or something...

This is the best anyone has explained what's been going on in all the Rezound forums lately.

If your gonna ***** and moan the whole time about "are we there yet", do yourself (and everyone else) a favor and go get the Nexus... and don't tell us when you do, cause we really don't care.
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
I can see your point here on a lot of things. It's really about preference and need for the most part. The Nexus is still a hunk of plastic and Samsung is never known for build quality, so I stand by my guns on that one. Plus, with many reports of inconsistent 4G speeds and 3G/4G handoff occurring constantly, it leads me to believe the radio in the Nexus is another Samsung mishap.

Unfortunately, the nexus came out 31 days after I bought my Rezound anyway, so it's just not worth the trouble to get rid of my Rezound and pick up a Nexus. I might trade the Rezound in eventually, but it will be a phone better than the Nexus.

I have the same problem. I was playing a game (GLWG) on my Xoom and when I exited the app my Xoom froze. I had about 80% battery life left and I tried both holding down Power and Volume UP and Holding down the power and volume down buttons. Nothing happened.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjohnk11:
Nope you're gonna have to send it in. I had the same problem where it just stopped working overnight and wouldn't turn on. The computer would recognize that it was plugged in and the charging light would come whenever I plugged it in since I had the tiamat rom on it. Sent it in and freaked out the entire time I waited cause I thought it could have been water damage. Motorola then sent it back with it fully fixed and the same screen, so i have no idea what the problem was. They sent it back with the stock rom and no root, though.

Hello again,

just pushing this post cause i still got huge problems.

Aprox. every day or second i need to power on the xoom cause it wont wake up from standby.

I currently do not know why and how this happens, it just does.

Is there any way of getting my xoom to write a logfile until it hangs up so that i can check this logfile for reasons?

Any suggestions!?

I had the same problem and I have a Xoom 32gb Wifi. I just factory reset. Hope that helps. You would have to reinstall and re root though. That worked for me. I had CM10.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary003:
got it fixed

Hi all.

I got the same problem a day ago - black screen, and xoom did not want to turn on.

I think i got the solution - battery have to be disconnected and connected again.

I disassembled xoom using one of many manuals posted in internet, unplug battery and plug it back, and my xoom starts as usual now :)

Hope it may help some of you. It takes 10 min, and small screw drivers set (i used only two of them actually)

I have this BLACK SCREEN but on When connected via HDMI

SO after figuring out my black screen is something to do with the screen, I have figured this out by connecting to HDMI and the xoom opens up on my tv. I took it apart and made sure the LCD plug is still tight, even unlocked and relocked it back in. I made sure everything else is tight, but only thing I could tell was loose was the other side of the wires connected under the motherboard wasnt attached or taped down, Any suggestions on what could be loose, because I can use the touch screen on the black screen to unlock the tab when its on the tv and i can motion white its still black. Please let me know as this is my kids tab. thanks

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoonfork:
I had the same issue. I had to replace the USB/HDMI charge board on my Xoom2 (a known issue for these devices, where the USB socket fails). I ordered the board and it took ages to arrive. It ended up being the wrong revision. So I ordered another one and by the time I recieved it and installed, my Lipo Battery had discharged to a low 2.7V from the normal 3.7V rating (not enough to switch on the Xoom2).

I tried leaving the Motorola USB charger in for 2 days and still no go. I was able to salvage the battery by removing it and putting it on 0.1 mAh 1S charge on my programable Smart Lipo charger (which I use to charge my RC plane Lipo's). It brought the battery slowly back to 3.7 Volts after 1.5hrs of charging. I put it back in and the unit came back to life! From there, it showed up in Android as 15% charged so I plugged the Motorola USB charger in to confirm it still worked and let it do the remainder of the charge.

So my fix was,

1) Open up the unit and unscrew 4 torx bits holding the battery down.

2) Disconnect two little DC power plugs from the Mainboard.

3) Once that is done, measure with a Multimeter. Anything below 3 Volts, you will need to set your smart charger to the lowest possible mAh charge (mine was 0.1 mAh).

4) I charged it on the concrete floor of my garage and checked it often too ensure the battery had not puffed up or become hot. Be careful, as Lipo's are a fire hazzard even if you know what you are doing!

5) Once the battery reach 3.7V put the battery back in and re-assemled the unit.

6) Turn it on and finish the remainder of the charge with the Units original USB charger.

Will post again to let you know if the battery is OK or if I needed to buy another one.

Either way My Xoom2 is back up and running! :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nmeofdst8:
http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/25/2585820/motorola-droid-razr-source-code-released

Huh? Says "Motorola has been pretty good with the developer community in recent times, with a tool to unlock the bootloader available soon after the phone launched"

That can't be right, right? Also, says source code was released but not a peep of it on this board which is much more in tune with this stuff normally on whatever phone I've had (like 6 using custom roms, etc).

Anyone chime in on the bootloader / source code availability from Motorola and what this means towards GB/ICS development for the Droid Razr (VZW version specifically). Thanks,
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Absolutely false. There isn't ANY tool to unlock the bootloader. It can't exist.

We need a NEW BOOTLOADER that will come with the damn ICS update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
kholk, your the expert here in this. I'm not to up on the bootloader thing but would like to know just a little bit so I can understand. Why is the ICS update so important for us to unlock the BL and why can't the current BL be worked on to try and find a way through? If an update can pushed to the phone that can unlock it why can't we kinda do the same. idunno, I probably sound stupid but that's cause I don't understand it I guess.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nmeofdst8:
@kholk, thanks for the reply.

3 hours of reading on this tonight and another question...If VZW are the ones making Motorola keep the US version bootloader locked, what are we waiting to happen with ICS? Quite a few people I read have stated "bootloader will be unlocked with ICS"...but it's still up to VZW right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Our bootloader is encrypted and locked right now. The command to unlock it, moto-fastboot oem unlock, which is part of the bootloader, is disabled by Motorola currently, and they said that it won't be enabled until we get updated to ICS. The bootloader is encrypted and locked, so we can't edit it (if we could we'd have no reason to unlock it, mind you) and therefore we can't unlock it unless our update is signed by Motorola.

Honestly, nobody really cares about the source right now, because if ROM makers decide to test their work and it for some reason doesn't work, they have to get a new RAZR, as we have no SBF for restoring.
