no overheating streaming pandora or amazon mp3 music. I would get it replaced.
[HTC Rezound] tbgreen89:
Yeah you have till January 15th to return or exchange it.

Sent from my HTC Rezound!
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I bought it from a Verizon official store.

I went there today & the girl working there (who I had never seen before) told me the only option was to call & have them send me a refurb.

[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Just went through the same thing... Almost. I bought my phone on Dec 2nd as well. My phone overheated constantly. On Saturday my phone decided to go into an endless reboot so I called Tech Support and explained the situation. He said the heat may have fried something and I could get a replacement. I immediately told him that I hadn't had the phone long enough to have to get a refurb and he totally agreed. He said I had 30 days to return a defective product for a new phone or a new model with no restocking fee. He also added that I actually had a little longer because of the Holiday return policy. Took my phone into the store on Sunday and told them Tech Support sent me in to get a new replacement because of my issue. No questions were asked and the guy even went through multiple phones per my request to find the latest pink buttons that we could. Walked out with a brand new phone and I no longer have heat issues. The battery seems to last longer as well. Hopefully this doesn't change. On the way out he told me if there were any more issues, I had 30 days to get a new replacement.

My advice, go get a NEW phone. If you need some ammo to win your argument, take a screen shot of your battery temp with you.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Well, success finally.

I went to a different VZ store this afternoon and they agreed there was something wrong with the phone but they didn't have any in stock.

Even if they did, the rep told me they could not give me a new one but gave me a number to call at Verizon.

I called and ended up talking to three different guys before they agreed to send me a new one in a box. I will have it tomorrow morning.

[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
What temps did your phone hit?
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Boy am I ever glad I got my phone replaced.

Even with ALL DAY audio streaming it has never gone much over 100° F.

I am also getting an entire day from one 2750 batt & the old phone was eating up two a day.

~John
[HTC Rezound] motherpuncher22:
Wow I'm jealous of the great customer service... I went to my store with over heating issues (130f after 20 min of angry birds, went as high as 137 streaming audio) and my battery only lasts about 6 hours on regular use. the guy said it was adw launcher causing the problem, bc your not supposed to run another launcher over sense. So I force closed adw and went to sense. I put a live wallpaper on and watched the temp go to 111. So he says its probably the task killer I'm running, that your not supposed to run them bc the phone doesn't need it. So I realize he is pretty much is not going to really help me so I got a little crappy. He told me to call customer service maybe they would help. Customer service eventually sent me another phone, but not a new battery. My new phone now has the same exact issues, and I tested this one first by only putting angry birds on it and that's it. It got to 127 after about 15 min. And the battery still doesn't last more than 6 or 7 hours. So I guess now I'm just wondering what the Heck I have to do to get this properly solved?
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You ever figure out the problem yet, hope you did.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
like most verizon reps, that guy is a moron. yes, it's true that a task killer SHOULD NOT BE RUN ON THIS PHONE! however, running ADW over sense isn't bad for the damn phone; that's what that app was designed to do..replace a launcher!

either way, he was a tard, and i'm sorry that he was such a dumbass. most of them are. so either way, the phone they sent you is a refurb if they didn't send you the battery. go to another verizon store, talk to another customer, complain to customer service that this is ridiculous, that you bought a brand new phone, ti was CLEARLY defective, they sent you a REFURB and that you want a brand new phone. the poster above got a brand new in box phone sent to him, you should try the same.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
yea, VZ replaced it with a brand new phone and i have had no more problems of any kind whatever.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Garner:
Does anyone know how to get it to work on our devices or does anyone know when it will be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NitrozKC:
All I know is that Rockstar are working on a fix now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aspudgun:
They best be. Need to **** and kill prostitutes only to find the money I paid her is not fully reimbursed. That ****s got to me since I was 11 years old. Games seriously ****ed up, was always poor because of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
There are already two other threads about this, do a search next tims
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
appreciate your take on the Nexus.

As far as a 3g/4g switch, I think its more complicated than that. There are more than one choice for 3g and 4g, especially with at&t getting lte now. Canada also has at&t. It would have to be device specific for a switch to work.

Now, it would be nice for the carriers to have this as their add on though.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I pretty much agree with you review. I too came from an AMOLED Incredible.

The Nexus feels ok without a case, but far to slippery. I bought the phone with an Incipio case, and that makes the phone feel too big. I like that I can use my Incredible with one hand. Have you compared the screens side by side? I actually like the Incredible's screen more. I find that on the Nexus, even slightly tilting it, a blueish tint shows. Reading text on what should be a completely white background isn't great either.

As far as apps from the market, I've had one that's a little buggy with the task switcher, and one that took a few days to work with ICS. ICS is still new, and I'm sure it'll be a little before it gets better, but I prefer CM7 over plain ICS.

The MTP thing sucks too. This is because we don't have a real sdcard. I tried to copy mp3s to a certain folder, and they ended up in an other folder automatically. So I have to manually move them from the phone itself after.

I don't expect awesome battery life from the Nexus, or the Rezound, but I get 2 full days out of my Incredible on the stock battery.

Not only do I find reception weak compared to my Inc, but in an area with good service, 3G is about half of what my Inc could do. Only plus is wifi file tranfer seems faster. I don't have 4G coverage yet.

I've played a little more with the Rezound, and even with a case on it, it doesn't feel that much bigger than an Incredible 2.

So I might trade for a Rezound, just have to get used to SLCD.
[HTC Rezound] HTGamingPC:
You're making some great points about ICS here. It scares me because these changes seem pretty broad and potentially hard to fix. I guess we will have to see what CyanogenMod eventually does with it.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
It seems like the soft buttons were one of your primary concerns with ICS. I wonder... because the rezound still has its 'hard' placed soft buttons, if that will take care of the issue you are seeing with ICS and the gnex. I was also concerned that the complete removal of the buttons actually a hindered the usage, it looks like it does.

I think the rezound with ICS will , by design, solve some of the problems we are seeing with the gnex and ICS. I trust that HTC will do it right.

I agree with the 'too thin' feeling. I had the droid charge before the rezound, so i know the what you are talking about. I constantly dropped the charge for the very reasons you mentioned. too slippery, too thin, the backplate always felt like it was going to break.

I think its a samsung thing to make the phones feel like that..

did you get a chance to try out the GPS, that has been the one thing that has kept me away from samsung more than anything else. Their damn GPS is essentially useless. It takes forever to lock, IF it locks at all.. There were times when I was using the charge that I could not get to the place I was trying to get too becuase the GPS would simply not cooperate (and I had that GPS fix crap too.. worthless)

I owned 4 droid charges in the 5 months or so that I had it, and -ever- -single- -one- had the problems i mentioned.

A friend of mine has the samsung captivate and has the EXACT same complaints. My neighbor has a samsung windows phone (not sure what model), and she complains of much the same thing (hard to hold, cheap feeling) and her GPS is WORSE than mine!!!

Samsung makes great screens, and thats about it. The Gnex should have been made by HTC and then Id be all over it, but as it stands now.. I stay away from samsung devices, they just dont seem to have the same solid design as HTC or even (gasp) motorola
[HTC Rezound] miketoasty:
1. ICS is not a disaster, just because it is new does not make it bad. Yes missing a search button is bad but there are already mods out there to correct this. There are two separate sections of the app drawer and if you don't like it get a new launcher, simple as that. ICS will take some getting used to as it is integrating larger Tablets with our smaller phones, things aren't going to be as similar as they were between the older OS's.

2. I actually strongly disagree here, the phone feels amazing in my hand. It is .1 inches wider than the Rezound, I find it hard to believe that that makes a huge difference. Also, the back is textured so I don't get how you think it is too slippery. Just because it doesn't fit right in YOUR hand doesn't mean the device has a terrible design.

3. Not even going into this, you cannot tell a devices battery life in the first week of owning it, it takes time to get it even'd out. Also, the Nexus's battery is almost 10% bigger (In terms of MAh) while still keeping the slimmer profile.

4. Apps dont run. Now this isnt necessarily the phones "fault" but some of my most used apps dont run right. Most distressing is that I listen to alot of podcasts and use Doggcatcher with Presto (to speed them up) - no go - with the screen off it cracks and pops and then eventually it crashes the entire phone. This isnt the only app with issues (although the only one I had that kills the phone) Dolphin didnt run (was updated today), WSJ app didnt run right, etc, etc.

This is going to be the same thing with the Rezound when they update it to ICS. Get used to it until the Dev's start to update their apps. I understand the apps you use don't work on ICS, write the developer and tell them to get their ass in gear, as the Rezound will be getting ICS soon too.

5. No USB Mount - sorry but quick and easy mount is an android feature. MTP is a poor substitute (and took me like 1hr to even get working on my PC)

Can use my phone/USB card at the same time while copying stuff over. I like it. Also, it's plug and play so I don't get how it took you an hour to get it to work.

6:

6.A.Wifi is better than on my old HTC Device (Thunderbolt) but cannot compare to Rezound so you may be right.

6.B.Again another user preference, I prefer them there as it makes it easier to use the device while charging

6.C. Completely agree here, the Verizon rep almost broke my back plate off while putting it on, couldn't even watch while this was going on. Much better on HTC devices

6.D. Sure mods will take care of this

6.E. Just because YOU do not have a need for it doesn't mean other people don't. Used it probably 5 times in the 4 days of owning the device.

6.F. Fine for me, maybe you are?

Some phones just aren't for some people, glad you like your Rezound as it sounds like I am as happy as you but with my Nexus.

Just read someone talking about the useless GPS on the Nexus. Takes me at most 20 seconds to lock INSIDE. Couldn't even find satellites on my HTC phone while inside. Used it today for actual driving and it got me where I needed to go on a 45 minute drive through Pittsburgh.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I tried the GPS once. I let it follow my random driving. It seemed to do ok. I wouldn't say the on screen buttons hinder operation, but they can be inconsistent between apps as far as placement, or if they're hidden for full screen apps. The task/recent button should be configurable in some way. If I use a lot of apps, every single app I used is in that list, even after I closed it.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
not Useless GPS on the gnex, Useless GPS on samsung devices in general.

i know not all people have the same experiences with things. But you can google for Samsung GPS problems and find more articles on it than you can read.

My buddies captivate.. we can drive for 30 min across town and his phone will search for GPS signal the entire time. If we stop, and dont move for a few min, it will eventually lock, but when we start moving again, it drops.

Hes had 3 replacement captivates and they all do the same thing. I had the same exact problem with my Samsung charge, and my neighbor has the same problem with her winmo samsung phone.

Maybe the fixed it in the Gnex, I don't know. I don't have a gnex, all I do know is that all the Samsung phones I have seen and used have this problem, and it is corroborated by others all over the net.

the gnex might be a totally revolutionary device that has none of the problems of any other phone in the Samsung line. It might be that some people just have different tolerances for things that do or dont work.

for example, a friend of mine has the droid bionic, I look at his screen and it looks fuzzy and grainy and just.. ugly. He things it looks great, and cant stand the look of the rezound screen.

Really, all you can do is go with the masses for overall opinion, and then look at something yourself to make a true determination of what you do or don't like. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and nobody ever wipes good enough :)
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Toasty mike, it's that mans opinion. Why's your tone attacking him? Relax, you like it and he didn't.

Sent from a Rezound, crappie camera included.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
20? takes me less than 5 to pickup my signal INSIDE on my rezound.
[HTC Rezound] miketoasty:
If it was hostile I apologize, as I stated at the bottom (Sort of) it is his opinion and I am stating mine. Sorry to the OP, as always, different people have different opinions.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
you don't like the camera??

~John
[HTC Rezound] miketoasty:
Vid or it didn't happen. Lol, jk. Somewhat stupid remark by me as everyone's "Inside" can be drastically different.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
videos are actaully a good idea :)

I might do that lol. im bored as hell on xmass break
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
yeah, I usually have a lock before the map app finishes opening...
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Nah, spoiled by my epic 4g touch.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
OK i tested signal and GPS on my Rezound vs the G - Nexus... Here are the conditions and results.

First the GPS lock...

Rezound smoked the gNex, Although I did not measure the time I woudl say the Rezound caught GPS about 15 seconds faster. Not a whole lot. And if your trip is hindering on 15 seconds then you might as well call yourself late... But the Rezound WAS faster....

Next Speedtest.net 4G transfer rate

Once again the Rezound smoked the gNex. Not sure why but the gNex was stuck at 3 to 4megabit download and 3 meg up.

The Rezound was hitting 10 to 12 down and 4 up.

All in all the connectivity on the Rezound is notably better. Just my two cents...

To make it fair I leveled the playing field before I tested:

To test the Nexus I stood right next to a 4G tower

To test the Rezound, I dug 150 deep 12 by 12 whole in my bak yard and filled it with cement... Rezound somewhere in the middle of all that cement... Connected using a remote control app...

Ok maybe thats not entirely the test circumstances...

I was actually in a VZW store and had them side by side, lol
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
My only other Samsung GPS experience was with the Omnia. With VZ Nav, lock was almost instant, with Google maps, lock was anywherw from 5 min to never.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Hmm any sample pictures? Nvm I'll just google them derp.
[HTC Rezound] Gall0wz:
Go here if you want to remove the bloat.

I like my rezound way better than my nexus.

But I think, from a software point, it's too early to compare the two. This is the first time for ICS. There are going to be a lot of things that need to be ironed out. Google is going to learn a lot from the release of the Nexus. So until these little idiosyncrasies get ironed out you're bound to have some hickups on the nexus.

And sitting here with these two phones I can fully say that the nexus is more a developer phone and the rezound is more a consumers phone.

The nexus is really great for those that want to get in deep with customizing, romming modding whatever you call it. Rezound, with its super high PPI screen and Beats (whether you think its a gimmick or not) was designed for people that like to do a lot of media on their phone and watch videos without that jersey shore orange skin tone that amoleds give you.

There are some things with the nexus I don't get. Like why it doesn't have an SDCard... and why they chose to go with the camera that they did. But whatever... it's not THAT bad of a phone (cheap feeling build aside).

Once there are some more updates to ICS I think the Nexus will come into its own. And those of us that own a Rezound should be thankful ICS is getting a good run on the Nexus before we get the OTA "early next year" (yeah right HTC...)
[Xperia Arc General] nabgangsta:
after i watch one video on youtube i press the back button or go on related video's etc. and a window pops up saying " Force close " & " Report "

HELP PLEASE :):):):)
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Check if an update is available, if yes, do it, that should fix it.
[Xperia Arc General] nabgangsta:
there wasn't an update, i deleted the system file and installed it with the market :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
hopefully these will stick down all the way to the edge as opposed to the SGP oleophobic.

http://www.martinfields.com/US/MFOP-SamGalaxyNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
Are these dry or wet application?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
they are dry application. but with most dry applications might have the edge-of-screen-protector lift.

i'm waiting for my xo skin, so someone might want to try this out and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bowsersoulstar:
I'm interested in how these fare. I opted for XO Skins yesterday before I knew about these. I usually go with SGP dry applications but I can't stand not covering the whole screen. I got the impression that dry applications are just not able to cover the full of these curved screens without edge imperfections.

If someone gets these, please let us know how it worked out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDave1022:
Looks like no cutout for the front face camera
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tfrederick74656:
Ok, so I just got my Martin Fields screen protector today for my Galaxy Nexus. This was the first time I've used their brand, previously relying on mainly Zagg, but also quite a variety of other brands for all the gadgets I've had over the years. I can easily say that this is the best Screen Protector I've ever owned, by far. Like they say, it is absolutley crystal clear. My screen actually seems to be more vibrant than it was without the protector, and I certainly couldnt tell that it was even applied.

Installation was a breeze...fired up the shower to steam up the room and bring all the dust down, then just wiped my screen clean and slapped it on. Took me a few tries to get the alignment perfect. If you get dust under the screen during installation, the tape trick described on the packaging works excellently. All the bubbles smoothed out easily and my phone was ready to use right away.

The protector is about one tenth of a millimeter from the edge of the screen, which is just enough to keep it from seperating and attracting dust. All-in-all, the most exact fit I've ever seen with any SP.

Anyway, I just figured I would post my findings. I spent an hour reading forums like this before I bought them, with no concrete answers. Between the full device fit, crystal clear look, and camera protector, I have a new favorite brand. Any more questions, feel free to ask me!

I've been through almost 20 Zagg protectors in the past, which are all wet installation. I've had just as many edge-of-screen lift & dust issues with them I have with dry protectors (and I had most of them installed at the Zagg carts). After all, that moisture dries up eventually.

Fits the curved screen perfectly, no issues there. Either they anticipated it and shaped the SP accordingly, or the curve isn's significant enough to have any effect. Overall, very pleased with mine, and would definitely recommend.

There's no reason to. There's virtually no difference noticible when looking through this.protector, and believe me, I tested it with before and afters. They look just like the pictures.on MF's site. The Gal. Nexus protector comes with a rear camera protector as well, and it is just as clear. That was one of the main reasons I tried this brand, because I was tired of scratched camera lenses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trombone dixie:
This one looks awesome but unfortunately I've spent a fortune trying out screen protectors for my Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Psosmith82:
Can you post some pix ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HoOnZ:
To bad I already tried the XO skins which is pretty nice. I never tried Martin Fields but I've heard many good things about them. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha Class:
finally! they do make some of the better protectors on the market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robi-K:
+1 for the pics. Unfortunatelly it's been 2 weeks since I've been looking for screen protectors and have not found one that I like. The wet ones scare the crap out of me and the dry ones I found are cut way to small. Without real live pics I'm not sold. Ordered one from 3M Vikuti for about 15$ and I was really dissapointed. Never buying 3M again for anything, thats for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tfrederick74656:
I'll take some in a bit and post them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
I hear that. Currently have a zagg. But also have a clear-coat, sgp flex, and a ghost armor on the way. I guess i prefer the wet install type.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikroft:
Ordered. Wish I saw this before I ordered the xo. Pretty pricey though. I hope it's worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
Had martin fields on my original desire and desire hd.... extremely happy with it, one on the dhd lasted me 18monhs and still going!!!! Will buy one for gnex as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mzimand:
How about fingerprints, does the Martin Fields help? I have the SGP Oleophobic and am very happy with the anti fingerprint properties but wish it covered more of the screen. The SGP would be perfect if a little more coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swankylaxplayer:
+1 more for pictures. I've heard absolutely nothing conclusive about screen protectors for the GN and I've spent the past 2 weeks trying to figure out where I should spend my money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
Just ordered mine aswell, lets see. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
... that camera lens protector has me very interested.

i'd love to see some before and after pics to see if it blurs or distorts photos at all.
