This is awesome. The gnex ain't got anything on the resound right now. Other then aosp but that should be coming soon. Either way this is great news. I travel alot and now I don't have to buy another phone :D
[HTC Rezound] boojay:
This is amazing news!

Has anyone from Canada gotten this bad boy to work? If not, I might have to be the first test guinea pig. I've played around with all the new phones and nothing appeals to me, but if the HTC Rezound is anything like their previous flagship phones, I wouldn't mind taking the plunge.

I'm looking at Verizon Rezounds on an auction site with bad ESNs to test out whether it will work on Bell's HSPA network.

Who thinks that's a good/dumb idea?
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
I'd like to know if you get Data as well. I have a Vivid and would gladly sell it to get a Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Scratch that
[HTC Rezound] Tikerz:
AT&T is GSM, not CDMA.
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
I guess I could try it, if anything I could sell the Rezound and by buy a phone.

Yeah, but no Data on a smartphone is saddening.

I think he meant WCDMA.
[HTC Rezound] A-Gon:
So, I can go to Germany, buy a pre-paid sim and and make calls on this bad boy?
[HTC Rezound] meccha:
Yes, as far as calling concerns. Texting on the other hand, you can't send text out
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
What about using Google Voice for texts?

No it doesn't work, i just came back from overseas and no luck. However, im looking for an article that someone posted about using an sms app that allows u to change a setting (maybe apn settings) and i think it was gosms or handcent that allows u to do this...

Any tips on this option?

Guys, currently in England on holiday. Bought a tmobile Sim card. Dialed in *#*#4636#*#* but it just takes me to my contact list. I'm running stock HTC 3.6 (4.0.3). Last year this time it worked and I was able to use a T-Mobile Sim card? Am I missing something? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Just go into mobile network and change to GSM if your on the latest OTA
[HTC Rezound] SeanPlunk:
Hey everyone,

My brother is headed to Italy tomorrow with his Rezound. He's on the latest stock firmware. Can he plug in a sim and go, or does he need to follow all the instructions in the op? I'm just clarifying because a lot of the op looks like it was written before Verizon unlocked everything.

Verizon Rooted APN Removal on Rezound

I realize many may not have this phone anymore since it was so long ago and the thread here for this is longer than he double l.

Did anyone ever figure this out? I am trying to remove that permanent Verizon APN on my Rezound. We are stationed in Germany and Verizon unlocked my phone but that APN is deep rooted file permanent. I don't know how to get rid of it, rooting doesn't get rid of it either from all my research. I am tired of the "SIM" error not being the right Sim card and not being able to send/receive MMS. I can use everything else almost...but it will not keep it's setting to GSM nor riding the permanent blocks and is slow due to the confusion of APNs interfering.

I have tried everything I could think of, including running a change file for a Samsung root file just to see if it would work, obviously that failed me:(, I also have a trail of messages from HTC support to try and get some help over the 3 months we've been here, Verizon was an ass and said "oh you left the country, we're not helping you". I'm at a loss and love this phone, never got my use out of it for the cost and don't want to start all over just because we are stationed here. I shouldn't have to, it's only Verizon with their control issues ... UGH.

Thanks :) Here's to hoping someone has an answer or solution I can go to!
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
yes this error was fixed....flash a recent gsm capable custom rom and you'll be able to run any gsm network....thats all i use for the phone is gsm based....with stock its very hard to customize the apn's to work with your carrier...if you need more help in this just pm me
[HTC Rezound] reuseoldphone:
Just an update for anyone else who has an old rezound they are trying to re-purpose. With the latest OTA firmware, I have had no problems trying a different SIM. So far, just in the states with a T-mobile card. Was able to get rid of the verizon APN after adding in the T-mobile APN, no problem. Only hassles is the "unknown SIM card" on the lock screen (but I can make that go away by using a 3rd party lock screen program such as widget locker), and when you turn it on, you have to answer "yes" to a dialogue asking if you want to go into global mode.

T-Mobile is just EDGE speeds in the states of course (no 1700 MHz radios), but the phone has the right radios for oversees UMTS.

Didn't have to do any unlocking from Verizon, as doing a little searching says this phone isn't SIM locked anyway.

As much as the geek in me would like to go in and flash ROMs, I don't have the time right now to gain that learning curve, and my son, the one going oversees and who will use this, is leaving soon, and I don't want to have to be tweaking gotchas from the flashing from a distance. Seems like the stock latest ROM works no problem.

HTH.

hello guys, my rezound with Italian sim operator works with everything (calls, sms) except for the internet! is there a way to fix it? I tried various rom without success
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
You need to set your APN information correctly... If everything works except for data, it is an APN issue assuming there is nothing wrong with the SIM or on the carrier's end.

Anyone have any experience with StarHub in Singapore? I'm here now and having issues w/the Rezound on data (voice is fine)

From everything I've googled (mostly people from Australia traveling to Singapore) it looks like their MaxMobile prepaid sim is the best value (current promo is $7 for 1 gig for 7 days and can recharge anytime).

Problem is I can't get data to work at all. I'm on WCDMA mode and calls are fine.

Any help at all would be appreciated!

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
As far a I know you're not supposed to be getting data. A few posts back still says no data.

I think you're lucky to be able to make calls. If you do figure out how to make it work be sure to post back with the solution!
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
Would AT&T be able to detect tethering from this phone on their network?
[HTC Rezound] hien34:
Thanks - was the OP able to get data though? I'll keep f*cking with it and see what I can get...
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
It wouldn't surprise me if it did. I know at least in some cases the APN has to be input manually - a SIM card wasn't enough. When I bought a Vodafone SIM in Prague, they had to give me the APN info otherwise the phone would work, but data wouldn't.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Read the first post (thread)

I EXPLAIN HOW TO GET DATA IN FIRST POST :mad:, (I'M GONNA UPLOAD PICTURES OF ME WITH DATA :))
[HTC Rezound] hien34:
No need for caps man - i read your opening post - but I think that might be more of being lucky w/UK T-mobile since no one else seems to be getting data

I've tried what you mentioned and every APN setting I can find via google and Starhub themselves, but still no luck
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Okay new method that should work for anyone :) (sorry about the caps, its just alot people don't say that they even tried the first method)

OKAY

Method 2: Enter APN settings (make sure this is correct for the Internet/mobile data of your carrier) Turn WiFi on and then turn it off.

Then make sure Mobile Network is turned ON, and make sure you are receiving signal.

Now take off the battery cover and leave off until you see that you have no signal (This is when there is a cross on the signal bars)

Now put the battery cover back on and hopefully you will have DATA!!! :D
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
Do you have to repeat that every time you boot up your phone?
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
I think this deserves a thanks! Very nice write up...last year when I traveled abroad I was stuck using a very old school Nokia phone..but knowing I can use my rezound now is such a great feeling.
[HTC Rezound] hien34:
really want this to work, trust me! I tried your new steps and everything went as described but still no data =(

When going to the *#*#4636#*#* menu, the ping test always fails (IP Addr not reachable and the ping to google.com fails - shows GSM "in service", Network type HSPA, but oddly enough the Data Attempts counter stays at 0... the GSM disconnects says "========DATA========")
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Okay, hmmmmmm well are you at home when you do this (cause mine always kicks in when I'm out), and you can try this one last thing.

Okay turn on Wi-Fi and connect to a Wi-Fi network, and make sure that the Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to 'After 15 min'.

Make sure your mobile network is also turned on (while you are connected to Wi-Fi).

Now turn the phone screen off/lock the phone (While connected to the Wi-Fi and mobile network is turned ON).

NOW LEAVE YOUR HOUSE/GO OUT OF RANGE OF YOUR Wi-Fi network (BUT DO NOT TURN ON THE SCREEN TO CHECK IF YOUR OUT OF RANGE).

When you think your out of range start timing about 17 mins (don not turn on the screen/unlock the phone until the 17 mins is up).

Hopefully you should now have DATA! (fingers crossed) :D.
[HTC Rezound] hien34:
Thanks I'll try that - I'm just traveling in Singapore for a few days so I'll get on the hotel wifi w/mobile network on and then just leave the hotel and check the phone in 30 mins

I've already got my wifi sleep settings as you specified - thanks for keeping up w/this - hopefully this works..........
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
You have to do this every time to get data?
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
Where did you find that "Advanced" menu to change the time?
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Working with the ICS ROM?

Does the global capability still work if you switch to one of the custom ROM's, particularly one of the ICS Roms or do you have to stay with the stock ROM?
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
No, you can turn off the phone/reboot and still have data :D and you can also turn data off and on and it will always connect.

But if you switch ROM's you sometimes have to do this again, and also if your ROM crashes and reboots you will have to again (happens to me sometimes on MikMiks ROM but i love the ROM to much to switch).
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
When in Wi-Fi settings press the menu touch button on the HTC Rezound and you will see an 'Advanced' option :)
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Yes I have used ICS Sense build about two days ago and was able to get data and receive signal in the UK using my T-Mobile UK SIM Card (But due to the bugs and lack of tweaks option I changed back to my previous GingerBread Sense 3.5 ROM) :D.

The SMS problem is still an issue in all ROM though (until we get S-OFF and Devs hopefully port/create a GSM or Hybrid GSM/CDMA radio :D:D:D).
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Is this for sure been confirmed with working data and thank you very much in advance.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
just a general question for those trying to do this. I can understand US users trying to get this working on AT&T and such or for global roaming and such, but why are international users trying to get this working? What is the advantage of the rezound over the other 20 dual core phones htc released in europe last year?
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
This is bloody amazing!
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
I live in the UK, and its not a point of getting it working, IT WORKS!, the only problem, which I am told is fixable is the SMS/text messages not sending. And at the time I purchased the HTC Rezound (And the current time) its in my opinion the best phone in the world at the current time!
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Dude I don't know how much more confirmed it can get :), I've been using my HTC Rezound in the UK for nearly a month with DATA and calls, but as stated the only big problem is not being able to send Text messages because of the Radio.
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
Oh, cool then but do you still have to leave the WiFi-sleep policy to stop after 15min? When I'm at home I would prefer to leave WiFi on throughout the day.

They could just want the Rezound in particular. It is the only phone out at the moment from HTC that has a 720p screen.
[HTC Rezound] Ndaoud360:
How come HTC told me its not a global phone even though this thread clearly proves it is?
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
FYI, anyone running an ICS based ROM now, there is an even longer menu for antenna's. It is still accessible using LTE OnOff.

[HTC Rezound] hien34:
Can anyone besides the opening poster confirm data while using a non-Verizon sim?

I'm still SOL in Singapore - I can make calls and receive texts but no data - tried everything that OP mentioned and various settings for Starhub (found via google and calling their "tech support")

I would like data to be confirmed by more than just a sample size of 1
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Okay maybe a stupid question, but have you actually paid for mobile data? cause if you haven't then no matter what APN you use and no matter how many times you try my methods, you will not be able to get Mobile Data
[HTC Rezound] Spartoi:
So I got a Rezound today and did everything in the OP but I can't get data. Something in peculiar I noticed is that all of the GSM settings work (voice) except WCDMA only which picks up no signal. Also, if while I have a signal and go to Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks, the phone automatically loses data and switches back to CDMA + LT/EvDo auto.
[HTC Rezound] hien34:
definitely a stupid question - but no big deal =)

Yes, I have a prepaid data sim and got the text message (and confirmed with a Starhub rep) that my data plan was activated. I have 1gig to use over 7 days.

---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

I see the same behavior when I go to Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks as I'm setting up the APN

Once I do the *#*# deal I do get registered on the Starhub network with WCDMA only selected (or GSM only - both work for me) and can place/receive calls, and receive texts

just no data =(
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
OKAY GUYS LISTEN UP THIS IS MY EXACT SETUP:

Okay yes I forgot to mention that because the only two options in 'Network mode' (under Mobile networks) are LTE/CDMA and CDMA Only, the setting switches to one of them two when you go in to input your APN settings. But I just entered my APN and change the Network mode back using the *#*#4636#*#*.

But I use 'WCDMA Preferred'

And also when in *#*#4636#*#* Phone information press the menu touch button on the HTC Rezound and press 'Enable data connection' and then do one of the methods I said to get data (try the battery cover remove method first cause this works for me).

[HTC Rezound] bejahnel:
So I have run into a bit of a problem. I am running an ICS ROM from newt and well i can't get it to go back to CDMA + LTE/eVDO. I am currently going to flash back to a GB ROM and see if it sticks otherwise idk what I am going to do. I tap the CDMA+LTE/eVDO and it just switches to something else. Not 100% what's going on here. I put in my work AT&T SIM card to test this out and i wasn't able to get voice signal for very long, the settings kept switching on their own so I am hoping this is just an ICS issue. Will keep you all posted.
[HTC Rezound] bejahnel:
Yea I still can't get it to go into CDMA + LTE/eVDO mode. Flashed back to GB and at first couldn't get in because of FC issues but then downloaded LTE Toggle and got in, tried switching and no matter what it will stick on some sort of GSM or even WCDMA instead of just CDMA. Not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
I wonder why VZW decided not to market the RZD as a world phone. When it was first released, in the VZW store down the road from my apt, the feature placard for their display phone clearly said something about it being a global phone and ready for use in over 350 countries. When others on these boards started asking about the long list of network options, I brought up the placard that I had seen and said that I'd snap a picture of it, but it had been changed by the next time that I went in. Now what will really impress me is if it can connect to the 2100MHz WCDMA networks in Japan. That would totally seal this phone as the best currently on the market.
[HTC Rezound] bejahnel:
So here is where I'm at with this. I re-locked the bootloader and flashed the last RUU to return the phone to all stock, and it still will not connect to the CDMA network. I will be going into Verizon tomorrow and getting a replacement as I haven't had this phone for more than 25 days. I have no idea what went wrong, I shut my phone off at work, took the SIM out of my work phone (Inc2) put it into the Rezound and turned it on. Voice came and went on the AT&T SIM so I decided I was going back to the Verizon SIM. After is booted up, I still had no voice, tried switching it in the phone information menu and it kept reverting to WCDMA or GSM but would not hold on the CDMA + LTE/EVdO. Thought it was the ICS ROM so I switched back to a GB backup I had, same issue. So then I reverted back to stock with locked bootloader and STILL have this issue. Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone cuz it's annoying!
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Thats very strange???, I have no problem changing the network mode?

Did you try just going into Settings>>>Wireless and Networks>>>Mobile networks and then it should automatically switch to CDMA or CDMA/LTE, or while in there click on network mode and choose one or th other??? Thats all i can think of? :confused:

"MDM9600 supports CDMA2000 1X, EV-DO Rev. B, SV-DO, SV-LTE, UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE" by Chipworks. Global support in Rezound's radio is semi-finished and without s-off there's nothing we can do about it. Also, I'm wondering whether Thunderbolt can/can not work on gsm network, because it uses the same chipset.
[HTC Rezound] jhr:
xtc chip

i know this is a shot in the dark, with no bullets or guns. :rolleyes:

i bought a xct chip a while back when the inc2 weren't able to be rooted after it got the update.

Do you think that xtc might be able to sim unlock, s-off and security unlock this device?

now let's get this show on the road.....here is what it is...because of the processor that's used for the HTC rezound it's a WORLD PHONE. It has ALL of the frequencies to work with any network...for the GSM, it's speed is capable of 14.4 megabits per second regardless of the carrier. The phone will work on ATT and T mobile here in the USA as well as any other carriers here. It will work anywhere in the world...how do i know this..because i have the pdf of the spec sheets of the phone i can't upload the proof yet due to me not having enough posts on here but in time......

I just popped in a Vodafone UK pay as you go SIM card, and running CleanROM 2.1 via the HTC Dev unlock I can make and receive calls via the methods above. I have to use "GSM only" though to get the phone to grab a signal.

Not sure if txt messages are being received, but I also am unable to get the txt messages to send: same behavior with the radio disconnecting.

Don't have too much time to mess with it right now, but it does work.

I still see the "SIM unknown source" message, but I didn't have to unlock the phone or the SIM card....
