I don't even know why I'm typing this... Please drop the sense argument. I see lots of people bash sense and lots of people like it and both bicker back and forth. Annoying lol use it or don't, you have the option. I'm not even going to state which I prefer because taking sides in a never ending, pointless debate will spark more useless replies.

Initially while it gets all settled it drains battery. I got insane battery life using CleanRom ICS 3.1. Like I could probably go 3 days on the extended battery, if not more. I had 69% left after 24 hours off charger this morning.
[HTC Rezound] abthadon:
Yeah it sounds like I need an extended battery. When I'm not busy I'm on my phone, so that my battery doesn't stand a chance.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Go get it quick. I think VZW has them for half off right now - so 30.00.
[HTC Rezound] abthadon:
Thanks... heading there now. I got the Otterbox defender case when I ordered my phone. I'll need a different case when I get the extended battery right?
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Probably as the bulk of the phone is increased. I kind of like it better than thin to be honest. Seems to be more comfortable for my big man hands.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Don't know where the thread is anymore, but you can still use the Defender. You just use the rubber case and the front plastic, not the back. That apparently fits perfectly on the extended.
[HTC Rezound] coolbluedab:
maybe... but any structure would be gone. We aren't talking about cutting high gloss silicon for fitment like early thunderbolt or incredibles. The otterbox without all its pieces is nothing at all.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
here's the problem..apparently you can't read, either.

again, i challenge you to goto any article mentioning HTC and read everybody crying over sense, and saying anyone who likes sense likes a crappy bloated etc etc etc ***** ***** ***** moan moan, UI. it happens, but anti-sense people just seem to be blind to it, since they're the ones doing it. so yeah, just bc YOU don't slam sense lovers doesn't mean the rest of the anti-sense camp doesn't.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Go to any post about apple, Motorola, Samsung, etc. And you will find people complaining. Haters gonna hate. Lol.

Here on XDA resound forum tho? I have never seen any real anti-sense guys be assholes. We sure take a lot of **** for our opinion though.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Well, I wonder how that imminent ICS release is coming along. Anyone heard anything new? :D
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
I'm a HEAVY music and video user. In my other 'computer' life I'm a hardcore simulation_centric PC gamer. Eyefinity, TrackIR, Saitek, 5990x1080 overclocking dork.

My stock Rezy is the most powerful, hidef, hifi phone I've ever owned. It blows up my MEX BT5000 Sony head in my truck via A2DP like nothing ever. The audio quality, fidelity and pure power compared to my Dinc is no contest. Blows up. Total audio powerhouse.

The phone works so well for so many tasks with GB and Sense 3 that I'm perfectly fine waiting for the official Android 4.0 OTW release. I really like AOS 4.0, and a bird on a tree told me that AOS 4.0 is so good that HTC did not to have to put nearly as much 'polish' on the new OS with Sense 4. Well done in advance HTC and life is good...even right now.

Over and out.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Haha yes!
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
My buddy Jason demoed his Rezound for me before I bought mine and I remember being impressed by the output of the external speaker. I'm on my second Rezound because my first one had signal issues. All three have been very loud, and I certainly wasn't exaggerating when I said I can hear the alarm tone all the way through the house. If all three of these phones have been abnormal, then I hope HTC keeps making whatever mistake they've made to get that much output from such a tiny speaker. And who said anything about Beats making it louder? It's pretty common knowledge that Beats only affects the output from the 3.5mm jack.

Edit: Thought I should add that I have no idea if it works over Bluetooth or not but I was referring to Beats not affecting the ear piece or external speaker.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
I've had an Incredible, Incredible 2, and now a Rezound. All 3 have been plenty loud enough. With the Rezound I actually turn down the volume. Not sure how loud you need it, but you are likely in the minority on this issue.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
yes volume on the phone speaker is nice... at least was. once you slap on the extended battery it interferes with the speaker. no longer gets as loud and then sounds a bit muffled/tinny.

que sera sera ...

p.s. you guys did see that HTC posted on facebook that ICS for Rezound will be out "later this year"...? thus destroying this thread's topic.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
This thing can't be killed :D

[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I think it is funny in that even if HTC does release ICS for this phone, it will be 30-60 days *MINIMUM* before VZW releases it.

HTC does not push the OTA out. They send the new OS to the carrier so that they can bloat it and phuck it up and ruin it and then push it out to us after 3 or 4 delays... LOL
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
I don't see how unless you never even turn the screen on. Unless letting it settle takes more then 12 hours... I set up my phone around 6 pm, and used it until around 1am, put it on the charger while I slept and then less then 6 hours off it died...

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

I would like to add that I put cleanrom 1.7 back on last night around 10pm, only setup my Google account, charged while I slept, did the rest of setting up today on 4g, watched 18 minutes of HD YouTube, been off the charger for 3 1/2 hours and have 63%. So I've used it a ton more and the battery is still higher than yesterday's clean 3.1 by this time...
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Same I've had the exact same phones as you the incredible 2 speaker was kinda weak but this insanely loud
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
when ever i ran sense i had volume issues. what i did for the rezound was take my ringtones and adjust the volumes and eq with an online ringtone maker i found. helped a bit but still not where i want it to be. i think aosp and custom kernels will be the ultimate fix.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Still stock Rooted.... My sounds are fine with the exception of a new app I tried last night, but I think it is the app.

I use an app called Setting Profiles which allows you to setup profiles based on time and location. never really used the location rules, but I have a day and night rule.

The night rule lowers the media volume, drops email sounds to silent but keeps Ringer, Alarms and SMS notifications up where I can hear them. On call a lot.

I use SMS primarily like an alert pager rather than a social text message.
[HTC Rezound] Trooper Thorn:
Back on topic

Back to the topic of imminent ICS release, this was just posted...Looks like a soak test for the Thunderbolt?

I'm a little surprised this has come before the Rezound. Unless somebody knows something I don't...
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
S

that doesnt mean much. started testing... sure. but could still be weeks, months, etc before they decide to actually release it.
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
Yep. I just hope bamf aosp or cm9 (heck even 7 though i know it wont happen)hit soon. I don't hate sense but I know this phone would be much faster without it.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Rezound has only been out for <65 days. Tbolt was released a long time before that, not surprised.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
If a company wants me to keep buying new phones then upgrade the newest phones first. Upgrading old phones first only encourages me to hold on to my old device. Not a real good business strategy. Just testing the logic of your statement.

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
My logic is sound.

But, I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of existing Tbolt customers still under their 2 yr contracts are not thinking like you are. I am pretty sure the announcement that the Tbolt was going to eventually get ICS was quite some time ago and they have been waiting for months for it to happen.

The HTC Droid Incredible is a typical example of upgrades...

o Released with Eclair which was very new when it was released

o Obtained an update to Froyo after a number of new devices with Froyo were released. Dinc users were making the same noises you are back then.

o Almost 2 years after it was initially released the Dinc got a GB update. Also after number of new devices were released with it.

It is not going to get ICS at least not as an official release. There have been ports of course.

It is quite common for there to be a leap frog string of updates between new releases and existing devices.

There are other devices from other MFG's that were released the same time has the Dinc that never got 2 major official upgrades.

I would be surprised if you are a user that waits 2yrs before upgrading your phone though.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Again I'm not discussing facts but logic. And I'm not trying to argue either. But if I'm running a company I want my customers buying my devices as soon as they can, not holding on to old ones. Reward those who spend money and they will continue to spend more.

Tbolt ICS was just announced like 2 weeks ago if not more recent. Prior to that it was believed that ICS wasn't going to the device.

You are right about my inability to last two years with a phone. I have an upgrade just waiting for me on my family plan and my wife will get the Rezound.

[HTC Rezound] caveritt:
So, you'll be going to moto then? Just left moto forever. I vow to never return until they unlock their bootloader. It sucked so bad be locked down. I finally feel free again. =)

But I do agree, but as slow as moto is I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I should've just got the damn nexus and the ****ty camera...
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:

[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
The only part I find good is the screen...which we have but with a greater PPI. Good effort Samsung. Everything else is Ok I guess but definitely not anything to brag about...and the radios are terrible apparently.
[HTC Rezound] alphaman0606:
azidac [Moses.

Say that again! I got my Rezound 1st...then had to have a Nexus when it came out. I spent about 6 weeks with the Nexus and just couldn't deal with it. My big issue was the phone had terrible reception for the phone and data. It spent half the time searching for a signal. The Rezound was a very solid phone so I sold the Nexus and went back to the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
off topic and maybe this has been asked 1000x but have the devs given up on achieving s-off for the rezound?
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
No official word but I wouldn't hold my breathe for s-off.

[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Wow this thread has gone all over the place. Back on topic. There's been a "release" leak for ICS 4.0.3 so maybe we are actually that much closer to seeing an actual official release.

/Rumor_Mill
[HTC Rezound] ihavenolife008:
Considering the Razr is the one VZW is pushing, i wouldn't expect them to "approve" an update until after the Razr gets its ICS update. hope i'm wrong though.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I just hope Verizon pisses someone off enough that they don't give Verizon the ROM and push it directly to us.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Interesting that, four months after the release of Android 4.0, it is still only on 1.6% of Android devices.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
everyone's favorite dev, evildevnull says that it is still being worked on, but at this point, I doubt too much effort is going into it. With the exception of radios, we can flash everything else. Not much incentive for the devs.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Can we not now use the DUMLOCK method to flash radios too? I thought that method basically gave us the ability to flash anything now..
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
hadn't heard. I thought to flash the radios, you had to relock, flash the update, the unlock again.

[HTC Rezound] zer0cloud:
I +1 this!!!

Definitely would love to see the official update that soon. But sadly I would just want it out so these AMAZING devs can create some spectacular stuff.
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Believe it or not but some guy in ac forums was saying he was on the phone with htc tech support saying ics update is a week away. He even asked if he was sure and the rep put him on hold to ask a superior and confirmed.

Reason he called tech support was cause his phone doesnt want to install the new ota so he was frustrated.

So take it however you like, i hate getting excited lol

I don't think HTC hires PR people for Twitter to send winks to "hot" customers. Flattery doesn't turn me on as much as the ICS source code will lmfao.

Oh and btw - the "preview" build of ICS for the Sensation and Sensation XE was just released, so they are clearly operating on or ahead of schedule.

[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Doesnt mean much it is a leak. These are offical devs, they have more access, time and sources than we do. Who knows..maybe it is close. If more than one htc rep says the same thing it must mean something .
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
As far as ICS leaks out

I can't _stand_ the touch screen problem (with the kernel, presumably) that flings the screen in the wrong direction when swiping sometimes.

For this reason, although I love being on the bleeding edge, I have to hope that something ICS related finds its way through soon.

Source code. Something.

And hopefully some stable kernels will result. Every single GB kernel that allows overclocking eventually causes bootloops (even at stock speeds, even if it takes weeks to happen). I don't know what it is that makes it happen, but I hope that ICS kernels turn out to be more stable.

This phone is as ready as any phone on the planet for ICS. I'm excited about it.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Really? I don't they have as many devs working on the rezound as xda does. And the reps have steered us wrong plenty of times before.
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
Stable yes but still has broken features. The BT is something I use everyday on my car as do many on here. The minor blue flickering screen can also get somewhat annoying.

so where the hell is the rezound' update?....

Yes it does Krel. I just meant basically that at least for me, I'd like it to look like ics. I mean like a switchable option in setting. I like sense and ics.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
The amount of times that you switched your phone from a GNex to a Rez frankly scares me. I can't believe you did it again.

I think the current crop of ICS roms are enough to tide me over until we get a release or CM9.

[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I keep hoping for news of the Lumia 900 on Verizon. I love my Rezound and will be keeping it, but it feels crippled without CMx. Sense just plain sucks, and I wish they would offer a way to factory reset to AOSP.
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
You think Sense sucks (and don't get me wrong - I agree) but you want a WP7 device? Are you on crack?
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
btw, if a release is "imminent", then why did HTC post on their facebook that the Rezound(a long with other HTC devices) will get ICS 'later this year'....?
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I don't see the relationship. Sense sucks because it's laggy, slow as ****, and fugly. WP7 is gorgeous, and incredibly smooth even on lower-end devices.

My concern isn't being able to constantly tweak my phone, my concern is Sense is awful. You're assuming a premise that I'm not in wondering if I'm on crack.

Aren't you the one who thought ICS was coming today because of a wink on twitter?
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Perhaps they've learned from the mistake of giving out definitive release dates prematurely so as not to be badgered when they inevitably miss their deadline.
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Indeed I am the one who thought that because of a wink, I'm simply surprised that someone really likes WP7. Personally I feel it's an horrendous OS with a terrible UI. Yes, it is fast, but I could never justify paying as much or more for a Nokia WP7 device that will never be as customizable or feature filled. Not to mention that since MS is working on porting Windows 8 to ARM it seems silly to buy a phone and possibly get locked into a contract when there's even the remote possibility that the desktop and mobile divisions will be merged in some way. You're entitled to like whatever you want - it is your prerogative, but I just find it odd that someone who has a Rezound (even given the short term limitations of real difference between ROMs) would want to move over to an MS alternative.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I'm keeping my Rezound. I'll just swap SIMs whenever I want to use one or the other. And hopefully an LTE iPhone comes out soon in the fall so they're SIM-based too.

You're pretty much the only person I've ever talked to who thought the UI was ugly. There's lots to criticize about WP7, but the UI is not one of them.

The only Android phone that could tempt me at the moment is the Galaxy Note, but there's not any word yet definitively if it'll hit Verizon. Totally happy with my Rezound, but Android has hit a level of maturity such that I won't be buying skinned devices in the future. The Rezound is the last one.
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
In regard to your latter statement - I tend to agree. I will probably only ever get a "Google Experience" device or one that is so lightly skinned/customized that "de-sensing" or the equivalent isn't necessary.
[HTC Rezound] psykotikz:
Agreed. ICS is absolutely beautiful...It's crazy that the skins really don't even come close. The devs should look at the SS section on this site and see what people have done to get some pointers.

I looked at DL today and saw the special for the free nexus "for loyal customers"...I just bought the ReZound on Friday for 99...The ReZound is by far the better phone so I'm not that upset but that pure ICS experience on the nexus simply can't be beat.
