[HTC Rezound] 3oclockslop:
no vzw love is ok with me...

i too wasnt immediately drawn to the rezound, probably because all they push on it is the beats, (which turned out to be A LOT greater than i thought it would be), but thru exhaustive review of first the nexus, then finally the rezound, i figured out what a great little dev phone this baby is going to turn into. i never gave 2 ****s about the razr, having the thinnest 4g phone wasnt at the top of my list, and the screen sucks as bad as it did on my x2. The day i went in to vzw for my second look at the rezound, as fate would have it, was the EXACT day they dropped the price $100. Now whats an impulse buyer like me supposed to do? lol Plus, my youngest daughters 16th b-day is in a month, and ol' daddy is gonna be a hero when she unwraps those beats earbuds she DESPERATELY wants! lol

i'm still having trouble learning the modding routine, but i'll finger it out, and have a couple years of fun with this.....hope you all enjoy as well!
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Might have been because it took almost 4 months for them to catch up with demand for the DInc. I got mine on day one and it took at least that long until they started showing the "post" release date commercials. I still haven't seen a phone that was on backorder for as long as that DInc was. Hell, didn't they even change the screen to catch up?

[HTC Rezound] bbeaulieu:
It probably depends on what store you go to. If you go to an "authorized retailer" they can do almost whatever they want so they can push to sell one phone over another if they want. There are two corporate stores in my area and both had two on display to try out.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
HTC's phones never get the marketing of the "Droid" brand and the Nexus wouldn't have gotten such exposure either if it wasn't for the Nexus name.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Did your Gnex flop out on you?
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
well, the nexus was pissing me off on various issues(screen banding, much slower data speeds then the rezound, reception issues, burns through battery faster then the rezound also). i ended up trading it for a bionic + $300.

i now have an upgrade available again so going to get the rezound(again) & then sell this p.o.s. bionic.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You couldn't have been at a corporate store then.
[HTC Rezound] kodiak799:
Not only do I think the Rezound is the best phone on VZW, but I paid only $69 for it!!!

I mean, $69 are you kidding me?!?
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
HTC Droid Incredible?
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
I got the Rezound before the Nexus was available, but I still had to ask an associate where it was :\ Found the Razr pretty easily
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
HTC Droid Incredible 2....HTC Droid Eris...

this is only what, the second HTC phone on VZW not to have droid? rezound and rhyme lol all the rest had Droid branding

[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
I believe he was saying that the level of marketing that htc products without the droid branding on them never get as much marketing as verizons droid branded phones
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
The Bionic was a nightmare! All those delays for one broken ass phone. Go in store and make sure the new Rezound you get doesn't have any dead pixels.
[HTC Rezound] mrmadrid:
Same with all HTCs

I noticed they did this with all HTCs from the Eris being the underling to Moto Droid 1. I've owned only HTC phones because I dig Sense widgets, and last phone I had was Incredible 2 and I thought it was the best 3g phone Verizon had. Rezound is another solid entry... wish I didn't have to install DPS manager to get Beats sound globally though.
[HTC Rezound] random155:
Man i love this phone, but if i only paid $69 bucks for it i would love it even more!!
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Actually... the more you spend on something the more you love it... :p

Not in the "I'll spend any huge amount for something I love" way, but the "I spent a lot on this thing so I must love it way" :p
[HTC Rezound] Gear_Up:
Thanks for all the replies! :)

This was a Verizon authorized / branded store, cellularsales.com, not a Verizon company store.

I was just very surprised that out of all the phones on display, the Rezound wasn't there.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
At verizon stores in baltimore I see a lot of Rezound posters.
[HTC Rezound] Chillerman:
Picked up my Rezound on Thursday and the reps were pushing it hard to other customers. Made me think they were trying to get rid of their stock.
[HTC Rezound] yoderz:
I kind of prefer it when they don't "push" a product down people's throat like they have with the RAZR. It's kind of like a dark horse that kicks ass, but doesn't need to boast about it. I like being a part of that.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I've noticed at corporate stores they push what they are probably told to and the authorized reseller tend to push whatever is best.

[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
I live in the Baltimore area too and I'll second that. At the store I usually go to, it's right up front with all the other 4g phones.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
The Verizon corporate store in Niles Ohio has a whole Rezound + Beats display with earbuds and nice over the ear beats headphones.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Local Verizon stores here also seem to under-represent the Rezound.

hTC makes a good phone but Samsung and Motorola know a lot more about marketing them. They have to realize that Verizon isn't going to do it for them.
[HTC Rezound] Izeltokatl:
I used to work with an B2B oem side company that worked with retailers BB and companies like Motorola, htc, and Samsung. It's called co-marketing dollars/funding. Each oem signs contracts to split spend on promoting there products, it's completely optional. If an oem needs the extra push they go for it, if they think they are strong the use it less.

My local verizon stores had 1of each super phone out. And one sign was dedicated to the rezound.albeit but very flashy.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] paulikxp:
Besides the book case I also purchased the "leather" pouch which was quite a waste of money. It's extremely soft and flimsy and feels more like cheap China stuff (which it probably is) than a quality product for about £22/$30.

It probably protects the Tab on a shelf against dust but that's about it. Don't buy!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] maconsultant:
Can the tab fit in the leather pouch with the book cover on.? If so how much more bulk does it add to the size.? I already own the book cover and was thinking about the leather pouch as extra protection..

Sent from another Galaxy...

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] paulikxp:
No, the Tab fits in the pouch rather tightly. with the book case on you would damage that flimsy something. The latter adds about 4mm in thickness and about 10mm in length.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] maconsultant:
Thanks for the word...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] Masterface7:
Hi, just an fyi. I have a nook color and this case for it neoprene case

and it fits my galaxy tab 7.7 perfectly. so if anybody wants a neoprene pouch like i did, and i guess doesn't mind nook branding, it fits like it was made for it.

[LG Thrill 4G] rydeN-:
My Thrill heats up when I listen to music for a while.

It seems to be that after I skinned it with ICS theme from Trekfan my battery also gets a bit lower.

Is this natural of Thrill to do so? Or should I just get rid of it for a Music based Android?

Sent from a Doomed Optimus 3D
[LG Thrill 4G] Nophix:
They all heat up when you start using the processor and radios. Mine does the same thing. It isn't nearly as bad as my Atrix was, holy crap that thing would fry!
[LG Thrill 4G] iamsoawesome:
Yeah, everytime the processor is used for any length of time, it heats up. This happens with all android devices. And until there's liquid cooling systems In phones (which would be freaking awesome) this will always happen. When it heats up, it shouldn't cause any damage, unless you are like, baking your phone/ microwaving it (teenage mutant ninja androids?) . And honestly, most of the music based androids that arent brand new and hundreds of dollars... kinda suck. Just sayin'

Hope this helps.

First and most importantly thank you jackpot and all the other devs working on the ICS rom for the kindle fire. :D I'm having some issues though. Is anyone else experiencing a lot of lag when opening the app drawer? Or anywhere else? I've flashed plenty of phones but this is my first tablet
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
its in beta..
[Kindle Fire General] ammubarak:
I am not experiencing a unacceptable lag with the latest ics ROM when applications are activated.

I recommend to install an application from market to monitor your system resources such as Android System Info application. Kill unwanted applications and how your system performs

[Kindle Fire General] ardensky:
Just flashed today, and I'm not experiencing much lag when opening the app drawer. I have to press things a couple times before the touch registers, but that seems pretty normal with the KF.

I did perform a full wipe before installing the latest ICS rom.

Hi. I just arrived to HD2 world, and I can't find any info about some way to backup WhatsApp. I say WhatsApp not because of its data (conversations), but for the activation SMS, that means every time I reflash I have to reactivate paying for a SMS :(

In Android I had Titanium Backup so I just restored. I hope there is some way here in WP7, or a Registry key to save the code and restore or something.

Thank you very much, waiting for some light here.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kid1988:
Sorry to bump this thread, but where does whatsApp actually store the messages? It doesnt seem to use Isolated storage so there is no way there is just a data file that we can download..

anyone else have any idea's?

trying WMDC/ActiveSync launcher as I post this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23064872#post23064872

EDIT:

WMDC/ActiveSync launcher allows me to go to the app directory

Microsoft Windows Phone\\\Applications\Data\218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79\Data\IsolatedStore

where 218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79 is the application ID (might not be the same for everyone but I assue it is just to make this easy

There is a file in Isolated Storage called messages.sdf. In my case its about 640k in size but I guess that varies with the amount of messages stored on the phone.

I havent tried my device and copying the files back, but at least I can store them on my PC

Opening the file with Notepad shows messages and they are unprotected/not encryped. There is a lot of wierd caracters inbetween the messages, but it also shows whatsapp IDs from the recipients.

As soon as I reflash my rom (if new HD2 rom comes out soon) I will see if I can restore the messages.

So if you have acces to the Isolated storage dirs, you are able to copy the messages to your PC.

Note that WMDC/ActiveSync launcher requires a fully unlocked device.

went to the link downloaded it, flashed it everything went good then phone restarts and everything is back to stock except the things i changed with rom manager and still resets everytime my phone turns off
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Then ROM Manager is clearly the issue. That link gets you to box stock software. I'm not a fan of RM because I feel that unless 110% understood, it can cause way more headaches than it fixes. What do you use it for? What changes did you make after flashing to stock?
[Motorola Droid 3] htimes:
used rom manager to change battery icon 3g icon signal icon and the notification bar backround
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I don't think that MavROM is compatible with Rom Manager tweaks. I believe that they only work with CM based ROMs. Try reflashing to stock, rerooting, and reROMing it. Don't make the changes and see if the issues persist.
[Motorola Droid 3] htimes:
i tried reflashing to stock like 10 times and it never fully goes back to stock
[Motorola Droid 3] Cal21:
How about going to cwm through odin and deleting your catch data and your delv catch. I had the same issue when reverting back to stock ( it wasnt fully there) but when i erased all the data and delv catch it reverted to the stock rom properly. Just a thought
[Motorola Droid 3] htimes:
i cant get into cwm not sure how to do it
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Well, the previous is strange, because I've used that to recover from all different causes of bricks and bootloops and reboots and etc. All took me back to box stock software...

Anyways, I would flash back to stock-ish with it, re-root, install CWM, boot into recovery, and then wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik cache.

Using X + Power then VOL Up + Down, you can get into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. This puzzles me though, because that quick SBF wipes data, system, and cache.

Just for my curiosity, what ISN'T stock after the quick unbrick method?

Oops, bumped Thanks trying to quote this. :P When the DOS-looking window prompts you to press any key to exit, and I'm assuming you do, do you let the phone go through it's process where the yellow bar inches across the screen and completes the reset?
[Motorola Droid 3] htimes:
tried odin said it isent compatible with my device
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Odin is for samsung devices
[Motorola Droid 3] htimes:
the phone doesent go through the yellow bar process it just restarts to the first part of recovery menu all that is on my screen is the triangle and droid
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Are you sure you have the latest drivers installed? Head over to that thread one more time, re-download the quick unbrick, boot up with M + Power, select AP Fastboot, open the shortcut for "CLICK HERE - Something something something", allow it to go through it's 20 or so lines of actions, and when it says to press any key to exit, do so. Now just let the phone sit there while still plugged in (IIRC, this is what I did last time). If this all fails to return you to stock settings... 1. I'll be surprised 2. I'll nand backup mine and make a video for you of quick unbricking mine and everything it does.

If it does work, please don't change things in ROM Manager, IIRC, those tweaks are only for CM based ROMs, and not Mav.

[General Questions and Answers] magus57:
EDIT: Fire is out, only considering the Springboard and the 7.0 Plus now; too many features missing for me. Anyway...

Decided against upgrading my phone (HTC G2) simply because it's stable, battery life is good, and has a good keyboard. So I'm looking to complement it with a 7" tablet. Main uses would be web browsing, books, and videos (both online and on the device); gaming would be pretty low in priority, so I'm not sure if Exynos means much to me as a result.

The Huawei Mediapad has the higher screen resolution/density, and apparently looks great outdoors and in general. I like the aluminum build, even if it adds weight/thickness. I also like that the cameras are pretty good. And I really like the separate, non-proprietary microUSB and mini-HDMI ports; being able to charge it with the same charger as my phone is a big plus.

The 7.0 Plus also seems to be a great all-around tablet, between it being lightweight, the screen quality, and other set of features (like Exynos). The IR emitter is a nice feature, but I'm not sure if I'd use it much (not one for entertainment centers). And I'm not sure if the screen quality is worth giving up nice resolution/density of the Springboard. And as mentioned, I'm not a fan of proprietary chargers. It has Bluetooth 3.0, although I'm not sure if that translates into better audio quality with a Bluetooth headset. There's also extra Wifi functions - dual-band and direct - although I don't know if I'd ever use either.

Basically, it comes down to:

Non-proprietary ports, higher screen resolution, better rear camera

vs

Lighter/slimmer build, Exynos, screen quality, IR emitter, Bluetooth 3.0, dual-band Wifi, and Wifi direct
[General Questions and Answers] jijus:
A question for international users, is there a tablet available which can make phone calls too? Probably I could replace my cell phone with a 7inch tablet?

Please note: I am planning to use a Bluetooth headsets, if someone is wondering how it will look holding a 7 or 10” tablet to your ears: D
[General Questions and Answers] magus57:
I'm almost positive both of the international versions of the original Galaxy Tab 7 and the Plus can make calls - check out the forums for more details of either, as I'm not sure how data ends up as a result; I think in the case of the original, by making it work with voice you give up 3G (and get 2G instead).

I believe Huawei and ZTE also make at least one 7" tablet each that can make phone calls by default.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bypx:
Tried today to debrand my Vodafone italy Lumia 800... the flashing with Nokia Care Suite stops at 50% and the phone stuck in flash mode.

The last Nokia Care Suite (2011.51.2.63048) can't flash RM-801 in dead mode so i shat my pants.

Reading the care suite docs carefully i've found this:

Recovery Flashing enabled for RM-817

So after few tries i've found the right way:

Create a RM-817 dir under \Products folder, like this:

then copy RM-801 firmware files in RM-817 folder:

Now open the Care Suite and select the right model (RM-817):

Select Recovery:

Select the correct flash file, remember to use always the latest version, check on "Data package manager" for updated firmwares.

follow the instructions on screen:

When you are ready connect the phone holding the volume up button and let the care suite do his job:

After few minutes:
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
Good find!

Can you read your product code after this recovery procedure? Maybe with this procedure it actually gets changed to the debranded product code. Thanks for checking.
[Nokia Lumia 800] chaihg:
Fantastic guide. Thanks a ton for this guide.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bypx:
Yes, it changes because if I select "Refurbish" the nokia care suite automatically selects the unbranded firmware.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
Are you sure? So it selects the unbranded firmware [which you didn't rename to fit your branded product code]?

If so then you have just found a way to truly debrand the Lumia 800 because with the refurbish option it won't change the product code. That's why for refurbish flashing you needed to rename the files.

With the product code changed your device is just like an original debranded phone, so it should be updateable using Zune without a problem (this may have been a problem with the previous method).

Nice!
