I'll try removing the Facebook app but as far as disabling HTC Location Services, where would go to do that?

Update: I think you're right. Facebook does have ties with my both my Contacts, & Pictures....

Things felt more responsive when I wiped it.

In an unrelated question, does anybody else have issues with their ringtone defaulting back? I've had this issue with every single ROM (including Stock) and it always seems to happen whenever I plug my phone into my computer to access the SD card. It's quite frustrating as it's ONLY the ringtone that's affected. Other alerts like incoming SMS/MMS Email, Instant Messages all retain their settings.
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
Oddly I had the same issue. Most noticeable in Phone, and messages would take forever. I did a fresh install and it is gone... Not the rom obviously.

What I think happened to me was...

I use AR and when I flashed the OTA update I accidently wiped data. So it was like a clean install when I booted back in. Dunno really, but a I d/l full 6.2 from OP and clean wipe and install. All better now.

So yeah just do it.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
From post 1 which also applies to the OTA Updates:

RULE OF THUMB: If you choose to flash over without a wipe and have network problems, lags, FC's, things missing, or things just don't work right then flash again with a complete wipe
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Nils, is there a way extract the option that's responsible for disabling wake-up by volume rockers from previous rom's tweaks and apply it to 6.2? Or is there a way to disable it by making some minor changes in the current version?
[HTC Rezound] pixelsquish:
Friendcaster Pro is an excellent FB substitute. I've been using it for awhile now and it does not slow the phone down or use much battery. haven't installed the official FB app at all. nice.
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Facebook eats up a lot of battery? Didn't know that :(
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Flash this in recovery and it should disable it
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Thank you!!

Where you able to make phone calls and go in and out of the tether app?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Out of curiosity what are people typically leaving this setting on? Global or CDMA/LTE

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Mine is whatever the default is. But, as a side note, I will say this:

I met my mom up at my uncle's a few weeks ago, which is out in the stick in NorCal. My aunt was there, too. All 3 of us have VZW Android phones. Signal was weak, but I had enough to reliably make and receive calls. So did my aunt. But, my mom had been there for a couple of days before I got there and her phone had not worked worth a flip the whole time. She asked me to look at it. Her phone is an Incredible (2?). Whichever model it is, it is a World phone. I went through her settings and the only thing I changed was changing it from Global (how she had it set) to CDMA. And, just like that, it started showing the same bars of signal as my phone and worked totally reliably for the rest of the time she was there.

Weird (to me, anyway), but true....
[HTC Rezound] jwjohnson:
I didn't make any outgoing calls, but did receive a couple of calls while tethering last weekend. No drop in connection. I just ran a test and while tethered to my phone I was able to browse the web and download pages while on a call. I tried it on both global and cdma/lte settings and both worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Similar experience. On conference call and browsed internet from PC
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I think CDMA /LTE makes more sense...

S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Just CDMA. I only use 4G when I wanna watch an online video on-the-go. Other than that, to sync Facebook and email, or to browse websites 3G is more than enough. Especially considering that 4G eats up the battery like crazy.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I leave my 4G, WiFi, and Bluetooth on all the time. My Rezound normally makes it through a whole day, no problem.
[HTC Rezound] jwjohnson:

[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Your phone must be stuck in perpetual sync mode or something. 4G does not take that much power. If you set your mail, FB, etc... to sync every 30-60 min, or set your weather/news/account stuff to sync every few hours, 4g should be much more efficient.

If nothing else, what 4g can do in mere seconds can take up to minutes on 3g.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
In my tests I found that 4g is only a problem when in a weak or borderline 4g area. I think the speed outways the usage as long as 4g is solid
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Don't understand what you get in Friendcaster Pro that you don't get in the Free version...other than supporting the developer.

Can i install the newest version over 4.0.3 sense 4.0 v.2.4 after a full wipe?
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
Did some googling heres what I found

This is actually a standard error from the original source. If the status of your wifi device changes (on to off, access point to wifi slave, etc) while Wifi Tether is running and it was expecting to have full control over the device then you will see this error.

It could mean you using more than one tether app, you changed the status of the Wifi yourself outside of the app, or perhaps another app is changing your wifi status (such as apps that switch wifi on and off periodically to check for nearby hotspots to save on data and power).

Either way the only thing you can do is look into what other app is changing your wifi status. You can use logcat to determine this. Also this could possibly happen in some instances where your phone's memory is very low and the wifi tether app is killed by the system. So look into how many apps your running and check on their memory usage.

If your tethering I recommend the following to prevent tether from being killed, change the wakelock option in the app to keep the screen on. I have never had any issues with tether when the app is in the foreground and the wakelock is disabled for tethering (but I highly recommend charging from a quick charger NOT USB if the screen is left on).

If you background the tether app, or turn your screen off it has a higher chance of being killed by the system.

Im having the same problem. Its funny it mentions something auto turning on my wifi becuase on several occasions ive looked at my phone and it is requesting to connect to wifi when I clearly rememebr turning it off. Is there a dev setting that could be turning on wifi?
[HTC Rezound] izgil82:
Alternate launchers

What are the advantages and disadvantages of alternate launchers? Why some people prefer to use non-HTC Sense launchers? And, which of those launchers are good ones?
[HTC Rezound] abrego47:
yea as long as you do the full wipe as usual, so you won't have any problems.:)

This is reason enough to pay for an app you use and love.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Seriously! What does the app cost? $1? $2? Chump change!

Support your local developers!
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
#1 it's $5.

#2, I wasn't saying that I was not going to pay for it because it offers me nothing in addition except an ad-free experience...I was just wondering if there was any difference in functionality as I couldn't see one in the description of the app in Google Play. I support devs for things I use.

#3 It was just a simple question...I got my answer quite a few posts back, so leave it alone.

#4 end of discussion, please don't litter this thread with any more posts about this subject.

Can't download! bad links

[HTC Rezound] punman:
I think if you're not going to stick with the Sense launcher, you might as well not run a Sense ROM
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I use ADW Launcher Ex. I definitely like it better than Rosie. But, even though I'm using that, I don't see a reason to go look for another ROM. This ROM is great! Especially since the Global RUU improved my battery life so much.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Nils

Thank you for keeping Sense alive for the Rezound!

My Trace dictionary is driving me crazy. I mentioned this awhile back, but it bares repeating.

This is not specific to your Rom. Every Rom I've tried, the dictionary starts forgetting the most basic words after a few days of learning new words.

Is there a way to increase the size of the memory for the dictionary, or is there some other tweak that will prevent this?

This would be a major improvement to the Trace function on all Sense ROMs.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] liquidraven:
I love this rom, i see lots of people commenting on great battery life..i dont know how you guys do it. A full charge for me only lasts half day max with only minimal usage. I can watch it drop while browsing the web and most of the time the phone gets really warm just idling in my pocket. I just updated to Nils newest release and still no change for me anyways. Wth is the secret lol..

im also using juice defender..If i play a game for 5 mins..the battery drops 15 percent:crying:
[HTC Rezound] dustintheweb:
Screen on time is typically bad for everyone. LTE usually makes it worse.
[HTC Rezound] GIGZ1971:
Since global released I havnt used any battery savers.

What I did do is use battery calibration in the play store.

You can also let your battery charge to 100% then reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats..then reboot and use battery calibration you should see a difference

I hope this helped:)
[HTC Rezound] OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Maybe someone have mirror for this ROM (6.2 Global)? really can't download

The link is fine. What problem are you having and which way are you trying to download it, like phone or PC etc.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Hi Nils,

I've been running CM9 and AOKP for the last several days...As usual, I love the flexibility, but hate the instability. Not a knock on Neo or Chad. They are doing really fun stuff. But I put this on last night, and it's just so comforting to know everything works!

Thanks again for all the great work!

:)

S-Off Rocks! Join the party :)
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Little know fact: I am a flashaholic

Yeah, I try almost every ROM available just to see how the other half lives, what innovations the other dev's have come up with, and just to get ideas for my ROM.

And yes, I always come back to my ROM's because simply they are mine and they work the way I need them to work.

If I can keep them working the way I need and provide additional stuff for others I am happy to do that but my main goal is to make them as functional as possible.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I will get a look at it. May be something easy.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
Battery life is better, by far, if you are somewhere where you have a WiFi connection. If you're off WiFi and using LTE with the screen on, then, yeah, your battery probably won't last nearly all day.

I'm generally on WiFi during the day (at work) and, thus, mostly only use my phone during the day for texting and actual phone calls. And my battery normally easily lasts all day. Also, I do not use Juice Defender or any other battery saver apps.

Last thing to check, how old is your battery? If it's more than 6 months old, you might consider going down to a Verizon store and spending $20 on a new battery. Yours might just be getting tired.
[HTC Rezound] bowen873:
Everything on this ROM is running great - I'm just having one issue. With my Outlook email, when I forward an email from my phone it doesn't include the body of the message I'm forwarding. So the person I forwarded the email to only sees the subject. I've searched and haven't been able to find an answer. My settings all appear to be correct. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I believe there is a setting somewhere in the email account settings for "Include original message on Forward" or something like that. Make sure that is checked. If it is, then I don't know because I have an Exchange account on my phone and forwarding works just fine.
[HTC Rezound] bowen873:
There is a send setting "Reply with Original Text" which I have checked. I've never had this problem in the past.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
You're right. My bad. I did just test it for myself (using my Exchange account, which is actually my only account) and my Forward did include the original text. FWIW.
[HTC Rezound] bowen873:
Thanks for trying. I'll keep searching...

I got an extended battery when I bought the phone in December. I use it about half the time...It get's me through the day with no worries...
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I am S-OFF and just downloaded this ROM yesterday. Starting at 99% charge this morning, I am now at 9% and it has been a little over 13.5 hours. During that time, my display has been on two hours, I have 52 minutes of voice calls, I used Cardio Trainer to track my morning workout for 60 minutes using GPS and also played PowerAmp through my external speaker on the phone during that same time for 60 minutes. I also used PowerAmp again while I was shoveling mulch for another 90 minutes, again using the external speaker. I was also playing with Google Maps and Waze for about 15 minutes. And I did download some updates and a couple of new programs as well as a little internet stuff.

My WiFi is generally off unless I'm using the internet, I use CDMA mode only unless again I need the 4G speed (I do not have good reception where I am), I keep my screen display at 20% unless I am outside, and I used Titanium to freeze programs I do not use. I am currently using a usage monitor, SystemPanel, to see what is going on with the new ROM but will delete that in a few days. I do use any kind of battery controller.

Also, I just forgot that since I am trying to recalibrate the battery tonight, I used the flashlight to help run down the battery (knocked off about 7% doing that). I have also used NilsP powersaver setting app to maximize battery usage. I also have toggles on my homescreen for convenience to change brightness, WiFi, and LTE settings.

So I don't know if this is typical of everybody else but it seems since I started on this ROM, I have picked up some additonal battery time.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Thanks bud for another update on this ROM. I love the fact, you're always working on it to improve it. :good:
[HTC Rezound] Tom Barrister:
My understanding is that the new batteries don't need that anymore, e.g. they no longer have a "memory". Is that correct, or do we still need to run the battery down in order to get the most out of it?

I see a setting in the Power Saver app to reduce CPU speed by limiting the Rezound to one CPU, at less than a meg of speed. Do any widely-used apps even use the dual core yet?

[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I would uninstall juice defender I've always found it to either not make a difference or have a negative impact. And I spent 5 bucks on the damn app when I was getting started in android.

I run extended and recommend it but if your phone is burning battery or running hot I would guess its a software issue, like an app or process running in the background and hogging resources. Widgets are real bad about that as well as security programs and "battery savers" and task managers.

If you want me to help you chase down the issue just send me a PM.

I Holo Launcher plus. Has more customizable home screens and gestures.

As for the reason to stay on a Sense ROM, the phone was intended for Sense and a bunch of programs other than the launcher depend on the components of Sense for the integration needed to be seamless.

Nils ROMs are awesome.

[HTC Rezound] Tom Barrister:
The Incredible and Incredible 2 didn't have 4G/LTE. Verizon put out an Incredible 4G, which does have 4G capability but which has the same cheap plastic feel and various issues that the other Incredible models have. Setting it to CDMA would certainly help it, if only to keep it from searching for an LTE tower and, worse, finding one with a weak signal and connecting to it.

[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Two days ago I achieved S-Off so I immediately switched to the new ICS 4.0.3 Global leak and followed that with this great ROM. In doing that, I'm not familar with any difference/features added or lost between the ICS OTA and the ICS Global leak.

First question and I don't know if this is the right terminology. In the previous ICS OTA, when you pulled down the upper icon bar that has the battery icon, 3G, phone signal strength, etc. , there was an area that also showed what apps had recently been used. Is that no longer available or is there a setting I have not turned on?

Second question: In that same pull down area, there is a quick settings tab at the bottom. It brings up a number of toggles. There is one toggle that is labeled "Power Saver". Mine is currently off. Is this toggle linked to the Power Saver App, so if it is "off", none of the boxes checked in the app are activated or does it activated something else. And is this something that was created by NilsP and particular to this ROM or is it part of the ICS Global ROM?

Thanks for any enlightment.
[HTC Rezound] stuartv:
I had to go from 6.3 back to a nandroid backup from when I was on 6.1. Can I use the OTA Updater to go from 6.1 to 6.3 now? Or do I need to download the full 6.3 install and flash it in Recovery?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
1) Press and hold Home button. It was redundant in the pulldown so I removed it

2) Turn on power save in the app and it should show in the pulldown

Can't go from 6.1 to 6.3 with the OTA. Need to flash 6.2 then OTA or easier to just flash 6.3 over 6.1
[HTC Rezound] Mr. Boom:
