[HTC Rezound] canned karma:
Based on my having the Rezound for a few days now, here's my two cents for you.

1. Display - Having not seen the IPS display yet, I can't comment on its quality, but when you crank the brightness on the Rezound it is blindingly bright.

2. Microphone - I haven't had anyone I've called complain about background noise outside of speakphone calls, but YMMV.

3. Battery - Fully dependent how you use it. When I had the phone stock, I would lose 10% battery for every 10 minutes I was surfing on 4G. Now that I'm running Senseless 2.0 I've seen a substantial increase across the board in battery life (I'm currently sitting at 35 hours since my last full charge with light use)

4. Speaker Volume - Again, haven't played with the Spectrum, but the Rezound has far and away the loudest, and more importantly, the clearest sound of any smartphone I've ever used.

I'd strongly recommend playing around with all the settings of the two side by side in the store, e.g. adjust brightness, volume, play with ringtones vs. music, etc. For what it's worth, I was completely sold on a GNex before comparing it with the Rezound, which smokes it from every angle imaginable short of stock software.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Most important factor is that the Rezound isn't made by LG...

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
I'm getting another phone this coming week and plan on getting another Rezound.

another you say?... yes, I switched from a Rezound to a Galaxy Nexus(big mistake) then ended up trading the Nexus for a Bionic + $300.... and due to Bionic 'known issues' Verizon's agreed to let me get another phone again at upgrade price(& do as i wish with the Bionic).

The Rezound I already know what I'm in for and still feel it's the most superior phone(performance wise) as well as the best looking display.

I played with the LG yesterday & yes, do like the bigger screen but very worried about dev support as LG is notorious for having horrible dev support + it felt really sluggish to me compared to both the Rezound & the Nexus.

The LG does have potential if it gets unlocked/rooted, but I wouldn't want to just blindly buy it without knowing if those things will ever happen.
[HTC Rezound] verian_DC:
+10! I don't think we can really put an Lg device in the same group as the top end devices.

You buy that LG at your own risk. Rezound is the way to go.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
+1

LG is good at one thing, in my opinion...they make an amazing TV. Beyond that, I wouldn't trust them. HTC does essentially one thing...mobile communication devices, whether they are phones or tablets. They're good at what they do. LG is good at making TVs. (Just like Samsung).
[HTC Rezound] vantagejuan:
I've decided just to wait it out until there's a 4g phone that can get me through the day that doesnt require making my phone look pregnant and isn't a razr maxx. Its a low usage day for me and I'm at 2.5 hours of display on time. Paying $400 for two phones that would be dead right now seems pretty dumb just for a bigger screen and better microphone.

[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Considering battery life is important to you, I would not get the Spectrum.

It's basically the exact same phone as the Nitro for AT&T and that got reviewed as one of the worst battery life phones you can get, can't imagine the Spectrum will be much different.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
LG phones = poo.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
If you are willing to wait like you said, I would wait until phones running on the new Krait architecture CPUs. (qualcomm S4 CPU/SOC)

They have the modem/radio integrated tightly into the SOC and it is also made with 28nm size.

This tight integration and 28nm will make battery life much much better than current phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Gamer:
I'm not new to the android world, i've been using a samsung galaxy 3 before switching to the (WAY) more powerful galaxy S2...

but when i switched i noticed that AOSP roms and SAMMY roms have a great difference in power consumption!!!

At the moment i'm using an old ROM based on XXKI3 (that's gingermod 0.7), and battery consumption is very low, i can do 2 days with that rom..with notifications up, 3g, etcetc!!!

Switching to a more recent SAMMY rom (for example XXKK5 based roms) or to some AOSP rom (i really like insanity for example) i get a lot more wakelocks even if i'm using the exact same applications and notifications...

Did you encounter such a trouble aswell? I'm okey using an older rom, but this wakelock issue is strange, newer roms should be better... not worse-coded
[HTC Desire S] BeSeanB:
hey there,

first of all

my desire s

*** LOCKED ***

saga pvt eng s-off

hboot 2.00.2002 (pg8810000)

i'd like to know if the "taco root" is working for my desire s and my aims.

since i cant download it anymore i cant try it, but i like to know if it would work if i get it somehow. sooner or later it should be up again.

my aim is to flash a unbranded stockrom like "RUU Saga S HTC Europe 2 10 401 8 Radio 20 4801 30 0822U 3822 10 08 04 M release 225161 signed exe" and root it afterwards (is it the best choice?) there for i need a supercid right?

to get there i need an unlocked bootloader like revolutionary would provide me. but for revolutionary i need another hboot version, which i can only downgrade if i alrdy got a unlocked bootloader. right?

is there anyway to get where i wanna get to without using htcdev? for some reason i dont wanna use htcdev.

else i should go for:

unlock with htcdev.

downgrade to HBOOT 0.98.0000

use revolutionary for s-off

change cid

run unbranded ruu

gingerbreaker

thats it?

thanks so far
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
HTC Dev unlock is not working for me at the moment, get through to posting my device code and it hangs around for a while and says site under maintenance.
[HTC Desire S] BeSeanB:
well try again later i guess ;)
[LG Nitro HD] vantagejuan:
I'm in the market for a new device as my contract is up and I my Dinc isn't doing it for me anymore, even with ICS installed. I want to know what some of you guys with experience with both of the phones think I should do. The main improvements that I want out of my next smartphone are in order:

1 - Display - mainly size

2 - Microhphone - I'm a songwriter and record song ideas to my phone all the time. the Dinc's mic is awful and distorted at anything louder than a speaking voice.

3 - Battery - I realize that with batteries not getting much bigger and LTE coming on board that this may be a pipe dream ... but I'd like to get an 8AM to midnight day out of my next phone.

4 - On board speaker - I miss calls regularly on my Dinc because it isn't loud enough and I've had to replace the speaker once already.

Here are my winners of the two after handling them in the store:

1 - Display - LG

2 - Microphone - LG by long shot (noise cancellation) - Rezound's is just as bad as my Dinc's

3 - Battery - have no clue. anyone have any insight for me? I am crazy to think getting a full day out of either of these phones is possible? I don't know if the screen/mic/data speed upgrade would even be worth it if I'm going to be tethered to the wall every 6 hours.

4 - Speaker Volume - LG

Here are a couple things I'm unsure about that I've loved about my Dinc. Any insight would be appreciated.

DEV Support - Rezound wins this by long shot, but the Spectrum is brand new, so there's no real telling what the Dev community will look like. What are the chances the Spectrum gets CM9?

WIFI Tether - I assume LG is rootable, since most LGs have unlocked bootloader & NitroHD has been rooted. Am I wrong to assume it will be rooted or does anyone know if it's happened yet?

Extra Points:

LG also had random issue of GPS not connecting while in verizon store. That could be seriously annoying.

Rezound's camera also kills LG's but I never take pictures, so it doesn't matter to me. The Mic superiority would make it easy for me to make this trade-off.

Here's a video review by wirefly that confirms most of my observations:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTMVfhLIc48
[LG Nitro HD] liteon163:
I too have an AMOLED DInc and am considering using my upgrade. I was looking at Verizon's latest crop of HD LTE phones, including the Galaxy Nexus, RAZR (qHD is not True HD), Rezound, and Spectrum. Out of all of them I personally prefer the Spectrum; I prefer its display (IPS RGB LCD beats PenTile SAMOLED or SLCD IMO), and there's something about the phone I just like despite being able to put my finger on it.

That being said, will I use my upgrade for it? NO.

Why? Phones using Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 SoC will be coming out soon, like 2Q. The chipset is 28nm, which will offer better performance while using less power, and includes one radio chip that covers all standards and thus will will use less power itself.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4940/qualcomm-new-snapdragon-s4-msm8960-krait-architecture/1

I really want the Spectrum and keep finding myself drawn to it for the reasons you outlined. And the Spectrum will be able to do the few things that my DInc can't, like HDMI out via MHL over microUSB.

If I can hold out until May or June, I should be able to get an even better phone. And I won't mind paying $300 for a phone that I will keep for almost two years, versus a $200 phone I will want to replace before the end of the year. Yeah, I know waiting always will get me better hardware. But why use my upgrade so few months before a new generation of chips come out?

Look at it this way: would someone who bought a DROID Bionic have pulled the trigger knowing that the RAZR was right around the corner? What about those people who recently got a DROID 3 only to find out the DROID 4 is coming soon?

I'm pretty sure a new phone in June will be able to go at least a year before an incremental increase in performance hits the market, and even then it won't be a big enough increase to justify replacing your phone. While the jump from Snapdragon S1 to S3 is huge, a few months later the jump from S1 to S4 will be even bigger and will come with less of a battery-usage penalty.

I think if you're definitely going to get a new phone, get the Spectrum. Root it, debloat it, and run a different launcher (I tried LauncherPro on it in the store and it worked fine). But if you can wait, just hold on a bit longer...

p.s. I wouldn't worry too much about GPS connectivity INSIDE OF A BUILDING. ;-)
[LG Nitro HD] vantagejuan:
Thanks for talking me off the ledge. It seems like neither phone is worth it with the battery gains that are on the horizon. I tried to do the same for a friend who got the bionic and he regrets not listening.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
I get 15 hours or so on average with medium usage. The battery life for the LG is good, but it really depends what you're doing.

As for the GPS, this is the best GPS I've used in a smartphone BY FAR.

Is the Rezound camera that much better? The LG camera is pretty good too, especially the 1080p recording.

And yes, I tested the noise cancellation and recording quality myself. I'd have to say that it's nothing short of fantastic.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
HI, could you elaborate on these battery gains on the horizon you mention?

It's my understanding the upcoming quadcore phones can't manage batteries any better and as far as my research goes, the only new battery tech on the horizon is lithium-air technology.
[LG Nitro HD] liteon163:
OP: I'm talking myself off the ledge too. :-)

I REALLY want the LG Spectrum, and I need to keep reminding myself why I should wait. I think I'll read that link quite a few times before I upgrade to an S4 Krait processor.
[LG Nitro HD] vantagejuan:
ICS + s4 + trending towards bigger batteries (razr maxx)= my feeling that we'll have a device that can surf 4g all day before too long
[LG Nitro HD] vantagejuan:
If either of us gets the spectrum, the one that does owes the other an extended battery. Deal?
[LG Nitro HD] liteon163:
DEAL! :-D
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
I will be the one to break it to you- This is not a forward movement in tech, fact is, there's no real data to back this up.

putting a bigger gas tank on a sports car is not a tech advancement. any device can connect with brick of a battery. that's not anything new. quad core will use the same battery technology that we all have access to.
[LG Nitro HD] vantagejuan:
I mentioned nothing about quad core. Qualcomm's s4 chips will have 28nm size and a tightly integrated radio that will use battery power much more efficiently.

I will be avoiding the exact scenario that you're describing with the new quad core phones that will be gobbled up by the masses just because they have quad in their name. Google it or click the link provided by liteon163 above.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Thank you for expanding, sorry I lumped quad core into your comment/view.
[LG Nitro HD] vantagejuan:
You're welcome. No problem. I can understand the confusion between s4 and quad core.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
also I think I am just frustrated at the lack of battery development overall & it especially hits a nerve with these devices. :mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowburst92:
if i upgrade to a different rom will titanium backup or w.e keep its backups?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loransian:
Yes, but make sure you don't format the SD card. Please note restoring system data between different ROMs is not recommended at all!

Also, you might want to use the dropbox sync feature just in case the SD card fails.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowburst92:
So i cud just flash a diff rom without sd card in? N android n htc recomend cyanogen n support new roms they say just be carefull
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loransian:
You can keep it in, just don't format it explicitly.

Once you wipe (everything except SD card) and install a new rom, you can download Titanium Backup from market and restore user (not system) apps. They should be there since the backups are on the SD card.
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
Is it possible to have the slide locksreen and a pattern at the same time in ICS? As in, when you turn the screen on, you see the slide lock and when you select something, your pattern comes up.

WidgetLocker, but the default ICS lock screen seems to only let me choose one or the other.

Any ideas?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Try milocker https://market.android.com/details?id=com.miui.home&hl=en I installed it when it was first released and it would unlock to my lockscreen. Pissed me off to no end, but seems you actually want it to do this lol. Hope they haven't fixed this in an update (for your sake)

one thing when i open the About phone then there is bulid number is GINGERBREAD.XWK18 .so will i can flash the XXLP2 rom on my phone????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleau77:
You could, but you'd better wait for a stable version
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendhiloo7:
Yeah you can install , since you have I9100 . Not G

But my recommendation for noob , please dnt install leaked version.

Leaked version having lot of bugs, so better you can install latest Gingerbread stock version from sammobile.com or you can find from original developer section

Please stay with gingerbread , until ICS stable version release from samsung.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Agree 100% with the last post i told you its a leaked beta test rom and its buggy .

You can flash if you so desire its up to you and likewise any problems it may bring .

Plus as its not a Samsung release you void your warranty .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craig5365:
XXLP2 - some minor issues, but all in all, moving in the right direction

Not for people who don't have a spare or test handset. This is NOT ready yet for everyday usage. Don't do it or you'll just complain and that does no-one any favours.

This release does seem slightly more buggy than the last release XXKPA. Personally finding more FC's than previous version as well. A slight step backwards, but more features in general work. It's just the forced closures of apps which previously wouldn't happen as frequently.

Also, the HSPA+ not working is still an open issue. The handset moves from 3G to HSDPA no problem, but fails to open HSPA+ still. This limits the handset to max 7Mbps when not on WiFi.

Wifi still doesn't always automatically more onto the the remembered (WPA set-up) networks if an open SSID is present, it will try to connect to that open SSID as a priority over the secured network. Have to make the phone forget the open network before it'll move onto a remembered SSID. Occasional, make it forget, move to flight mode and then flight mode of and you're in business again.

These aren't major, just tend to be little annoyances.

Keep up the good work sammy...

i would download CM9 because GPS works
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terghalin:
Do you know - what version of Google Voice Recognition is used in Alpha 3?

In CM9 you only have standard voice input without "open microphone" feature. :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableeker:
I've installed CM9, and it works, but it's an alpha and not for daily use. The developers are working hard, but there are no easily installable packages yet, or instructions how to get it installed or working. I started with Overcome 4.1, and got the current build. As it is, it's for the P1000L, so you have to get the P1000 kernel as well, and you have to replace the one in the ZIP with that one. You shouldn't just create a new ZIP, because it needs to be signed, and a new one won't be. Then you can update with recovery.

A lot of stuff works, but a number aren't, and as the phone is one of those not working (yet), people who want to just use the Tab probably shouldn't try this. If you like to get developing, or want to help out, know what you're doing and don't mind having a not fully functioning Tab, you can look up the the thread in the development section, get stuck in.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaChief:
I installed CM9 yesterday and am LOVING it! I followed all directions from Humberos and others that are diligently working on bugs and have almost all functions working (calls/2g/3g/wifi/etc).

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klcow:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsrussel:
CM9 is whole lot better, it has bluetooth, GPS and many more things working compared to Alpha 3. Today they have even declared USB Hosting is also working.
