[HTC Rezound] Wintrmte:
I came from a GNEX and really, really like this phone. The thing that impressed me the most is the screen.

The GNEX has a big, beautiful screen but the colors seemed kind of washed out. The Rezound, the colors just pop and seem very vibrant. Greens are a brilliant green, red's are brilliant red. It's hard to explain, but it is very noticeable.

I also noticed a considerable difference in the camera quality on the Rezound compared to the GNEX. Sure, you're not going to take 20 photos in a second with the Rezound but you do get better quality pictures. Feature wise, both phones offer the same recording features/

I have flashed a couple roms, it was very easy and am very encouraged by the development work that is going on.

I'm one of those few people who actually like Sense, so I really do like what HTC has done with the UI. The ICS dialer pissed me off to no end, it was huge bulky and just seemed very.. blah. While the Sense dialer isn't better, it is at least a bit more functional.

One last thing I would throw out there is that I never knew about the UOT Kitchen (can't link yet, but search the forums and you'll find it) until I happened across a post in this forum. I have to say, it is one of the coolest and easiest ways to give your phone your own personal flair. I'm sure that ICS / GNEX will be supported on the Kitchen but for now, you at least get that benefit on the Rezound.

Anyway, hope this helps somewhat.

UOT kitchen ? Hmm have to search for that sounds like something fun to play with.

I can't give a good answer to that as my area isn't 4G... I have chargers everywhere in my house and at my office so Battery Life isn't such an issue for me. I have flashed two roms today and have been playing with it non-stop all day and I think it has been on the charger maybe two hours.. Maybe someone in a 4g area could respond to that better.. I do know that on a normal day, it is way way better than my Nexus... The batt life was HORRID on it.. On the Rezound I wouldn't consider getting the bigger battery, because the battery isn't that bad for me.. In 8 days of owning the SGN, my battery went dead 3x... Rezound hasn't gone dead yet..

I loved the SGN... I'll be the first to tell you.. If it had a louder speaker and a better reception, I'd still have it... But the rezound has a awesome speaker, and the reception is hands down as good as my Droid X or better...

Its a big decision for you to make.. I don't think you will be unhappy making the switch...
[HTC Rezound] afmracer6:
I made the switch. I miss ics miss

I don't miss the poor battery life.

I don't miss the loud signal in reno

I don't miss the soso camera

I don't miss the plastic cheap feel.

I have the bigger rezound battery. I haven't used it. The stock battery seems fine.

I love the camera.

It's really fast.

I think I like the 720 screen better on the rezound.

Beats is lame. The headphones are heavy and barely stay in my ears.

I'm not a fan of sense but I don't hate it.

I will keep the rezound. It just works.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I agree.

We have both phones on our corporate VZ account. I am in charge of that account and get my phones for free.

If I wanted a GN I could have one tomorrow, but I am not impressed with the GN AT ALL and I couldn't wait to get one for months before it was actually released.

I do like the huge screen size, I wish my Rezound had a 5" screen, but there is absolutely NOTHING ELSE I like about the GN.

[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
For me it turned out to be more simple than I thought, I had been up for an upgrade for about 6 months (previous phone BB Curve). I was debating on specs and features of the Razr, GN, and Rezound. I would go back and fourth on what i really wanted. But as soon as I waled into the store and actually picked up the phone, i knew which one I wanted. Razr felt horrible in the hand and just down right uncomfortable (i am really not a thin kinda guy). GN felt as if even with a case it would break at even the smallest drop. But the RZ felt solid even w/o a case.

Even after looking at how the phones worked, it still went to the RZ. Now my decision was even more correct now that I have it fully rooted.

I get great battery life (for the type of phone)

Great platform for whatever I use my phone for

Great picture quality

and a VERY solid device that I have a feeling I will be happy with for 2 more years.
[HTC Rezound] jeph0r3:
+1 on the 2 more years.. Especially with the Roms coming out now.. The devs are doing some AWESOME WORK...
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Where do you get that from? HTC said first qtr
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
Guy obviously has no idea what he's talking about.....
[HTC Rezound] jeph0r3:
Let's just hope that the ones working onICS for HTC weren't the same people that were working on the SGN!! Because I'm sure that some people involved with that were terminated.. I do remember reading the rezound is one of the first to get ICS... #FINGERSCROSSED
[HTC Rezound] eagle17:
I seem to be in a minority hear.. I have both the nexus and the reozound...

let me start with the things I like about the rezound.

Great screen and resolution... very bright and sharp... slight edge over the nexus.

Very good battery life... I have had (and still have many of) all the lte phone on vzw with the one exception of the lg.. the rezound has the best battery I have used so far...

size/formfactor... I like the smaller feel of the rezound ... even compared to the thunderbsolt... I like the more narrow phone over the new wider phones like the moto's

SD card... I can't believe I have to even put this down, but every android phone should have a micro sd card... that is just unacceptable and is the biggest problem for me with the gnex.

I have not tested enough but it does appear that the rezound does have better reception. I will be testing more this week to verify that...

ok now the things I personally think the gnex does/is better on.....

build quality... my rezound and the only two that I tested in the vzw store flex on the battery cover when held like a phone and squeezed... to me this phone doesn't feel very solid in comparison to the gnex... the fact that the back cover on the gnex is only on the inner part of the phone is a huge + ...

The Gnex has a curved screen .... this may be one of my favorite parts.. I have a 5yo son who will grab my phone and set it back down on the front screen directly on the table/floor/anywhere. on the gnex the screen does not make contact with the surface and therfore does not scratch as a result... I also like the way it looks.. just seems better...

ICS .... ICS is one of the biggest improvements to come out of android... I hope the rezound gets this soon.. Also I hope the requirement to allow the default halo theme does not keep delay the htc developers...

nexus updates... we will get updated faster than just about any other phone... the first phone to recieve the ics upgrade was the nexus S (the last nexus version).

I am don't like either of the cameras yet.. I need to do some more testing with the cameras...

I really like the rezound and I really like the nexus they have different qualities... for me ICS is the deal breaker... I will use my gnex as a daily driver at least untill ics comes out for the rezound hopefull by summer.
[HTC Rezound] androidarmin:
Just had bought a Samsung Galaxy SII (Epic 4G Touch on the Sprint network) and got so pissed off with Sprint's poor data speeds that I seriously considered switching networks.

Took me some time to gather all the pros and cons, but eventually decided (yesterday :-) ) to take the leap and got myself the Rezound/Vigor.

Even though I like the SII better from a design standpoint, Verizon's LTE data speed on the Vigor is 10x (..yes, it's true!) faster than Sprint's.

The phone has a nice screen and is much heavier, but that doesn't bug me a bit. -- I so don't regret changing to the Rezound!!!

Galaxy Nexus was out of the question for me (due to lack of SD card slot and poor camera), and the only good alternative right now is the Rezound.

The Razr was a no-no due to the fact that it's a Moto phone... So the decision was rather easy.

Only bummer, right now - and since HTC just provided details on how to unlock the phone a week ago (not full S-Off, but good enough for Custom ROM/Kernel Development, I understand) - I kinda miss the multitude of Custom ROM options I had with the SII. However, I am confident there are some really bright folks looking into it right now, and lots more good stuff for the Rezound is 'just around the corner'!

The phone is really nice, and my issues with transferring files from PC to the phone (as encountered with the Epic 4G Touch) went away again, too... yay! ;-)

Looks like HTC phones just work better for me... Get yourself a Rezound, bro, I'm sure you won't regret it!

[HTC Rezound] Crooke356:
I have both and love them both. Its a pain to get extra sim cards, but its worth it. Definitely different phones though. The Vigor has so much more to offer to the average user. Beats, the camera, etc..... The nexus is great, its my first non HTC phone. If I had to choose one, the Vigor. I like sense but get bored and go to AOSP ROMS. But I can go back to sense if I want. You lose that option with the nexus. They are both smooth, great phones. While I'm at work I can go the whole day with one charge (4g and 2 hrs of usage). When I get to my car I have 40% left. In my experience, thats great. My Nexus, I have to charge at lunch. When it comes to reception, the Vigor blows the Nexus away. At work on 4g the Vigor goes from 77dbm to 83 dbm. The Nexus a consistent 90dbm. Download speeds on 4g with the Vigor are 35-40mbs. The Nexus 12-17mbs. When I am at home I have 3g. The Vigor goes from 83dbm-89dbm. The nexus is a consistent 93dbm. On 3g, that makes a huge difference for me. No matter which you choose, you'll have a winner......... By the way, the Vigor has flown under the radar so far. In a couple months, it'll be the undisputed champion!

Okay, so my friend came over today, so I could root/rom his phone. I set it all up, with Odin and everything ready, and when I ran Odin with recovery.tar, it failed. I thought, okay, probably just have to try again. I tried again, and it still fails. It is only soft bricked, but it may as well be hard bricked as I cannot fix it. PLEASE HELP!!

Ok. So I went into download mode, opened up ODIN, and tried flashing CWM. When that failed, I tried again, taking out the battery and turning the phone back on to download mode, reflashing CWM, and it failed again. I then downloaded the complete stock flashable ODIN file.I flashed this, and it also failed. I have tried this multiple times, with different usb cords. I tried reinstalling the drivers, and flashing again. It still says failed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Ok lets try different way. Just use odin to flash the .zip file aka Superuser thats all.

Install the drivers and make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.

Rename the downloaded "su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip" to "superuser.zip" and put it on your EXTERNAL SD card.

Or place a custom rom on your EXTERNAL SD card.

If you want STOCK rooted then use the superuser.zip,

Yes silver its his friends device. Hey he says he can't flash cwm through Odin So i want him to just flash superuser.zip and install/flash CWM through Rom manager. What do you think will it work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
You dont use odin to flash the super user zip. You use cwm recovery. If he is not rooted he probobly also does not have cwm recovery.

The simplest way to do this on a non-rooted device is just to keep the device in airplane mode. WiFi still works just fine.

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Since I'm sure several users are using the View as a WiFi-only device due to all of the sales from last month, it's surprising that the question doesn't come up more often. It's definitely a legitimate one, and one that greatly improved battery life for me.

[LG Thrill 4G] TJj33p3rz:
I know it says this for Cyanogenmod

If you're currently using a stock rom or a custom rom that is not based on Cyanogenmod then you must make a factory reset/format data in Clockworkmod after installing the latest nightly or else you'll get stuck in a bootloop.

I thought I read somewhere cant find it now but I need GB bootloaders?Im running doomed right now so I can just flash this like any other rom and Ill be cool?Thanks
[LG Thrill 4G] lastdeadmouse:
You don't. Cm7 is modified on the thrill to run on the froyo baseband. Flash it, wipe, works well.

I think that 3d is unlikely in cm7 as it relies heavily on lg's proprietary 3d framework, and cm7 is built from Google's clean source code. For some odd reason, it works in the camera, but nowhere else.

[LG Thrill 4G] TJj33p3rz:
Heres what I meant

If you're currently using Froyo, then you need to flash the latest Baseband;

Use the "LG Updater tool" to update to the latest Stock version so you'll get the latest Baseband, re-root your phone and download Rom Manager from the market.

What is the latest baseband?
