I just went into Verizon to get a new battery, to get a 3.7v one, and of course they don't believe me about the 90% issue. She talks to the manager, and she comes out and tells me he said it's a known issue, and that "a software update to the newer android version, called ice cream sandwich, will fix all those problems, including the time zone one." And then they tried telling me it'll be out within the next two or three weeks.

I wanted to laugh at them.

Well I don't know about you guys, but I was underwhelmed by today's htc announcements. Nothing mentioned about ICS for us.

Can't say that I'm all that excited about the new phones either. I don't think I'd burn my extra upgrade from what I've seen so far.

We have more good news related to Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, and can confirm that upgrades are planned for Verizon Wireless customers with the HTC Rhyme, HTC Thunderbolt, and DROID Incredible 2 by HTC, as well as the already announced HTC Rezound.

In addition, the HTC Raider is on the list to receive ICS for customers of Rogers and Bell in Canada. Stay tuned for more news on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks.

HTC also said the ICS update for the Vivid was coming later this year. AT&T announced during MWC along with the HTC One X that the Vivid would be getting an ICS and Sense update in the coming weeks. They didn't say what version of sense though.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
good lord. I think intead of aspergers, you need to research bipolar...

My sense isn't slow, laggy or fugly. Sense on ICS looks almost identical to ICS without a damn search bar stuck on each page and better looking widgets...

I still wonder why people buy these phones then complain about sense. That's like me buying a Ford Expedition, then complaining about the gas mileage...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
It's actually more akin to buying a Ford <anything> and complaining about the Ford logo everywhere. Difference is that I can't swap that logo for anything else. With the phone I can. I don't care for Sense but I don't begrudge people their choice of liking it. Just like I don't care that people like Microsoft or Apple products. I don't, but I can't tell other people not to because it's their preference. So just remember the phrase "To each, their own"
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
That search bar can be removed by unchecking a little box. That box is probably still there with sense.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
Funny thing about Sense...it ran fast and smooth on my Dinc, and it runs faster and smoother on my Rezy. I'm looking forward to the OTA 4.0 update looming on my locked and stock Rezy. Back in the day flashing was basically not optional, but required for reasonable functionality. For me, that is no longer the case.
[HTC Rezound] partizan1981:
I've loved some of the ICS content that has come out thus far (aside from a few bugs here and there). Hoping they can hammer out kinks between leaked releases and full-blow legit!
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
The search bar is removable in Nova launcher and Trebuchet. In stock ICS it's just there.
[HTC Rezound] TuxDroid:
Truer words have seldom been spoken... we do feed the hype-beast every time we are given a chance.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
Good point. I had only run a couple ICS ROMs on my Inc 2 and neither were fully stock. Hadn't even thought that box was a part of the launcher. Lame. Makes the Rezound choice even better in hindsight!
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
the asshole sense haters who complain all over the Internet are truly becoming the apple fanboys of Android. seriously. theyre creating the divide just like nexus owners did before their lame phone came out. enough of the crying. I run my rezound side to side with my bosses razr maxx and coworkers nexus and mines as fast, if not faster, than both phones... and it looks fifty times better than either ui. this annoying crap has to stop. grow up and stop creating divides in Android.

[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
for me i just dont care for the sense setup. i always use launcher pro. even on the galaxy nexus i had i still used launcher pro.

btw, if you think sense is laggy, try out that spb 3d launcher. it's only $14.95 to! ;D

oh and the correct name is SPB Shell 3D
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I like Sense - as far as I know - and I don't know why people don't like it. I used ADW launcher for a few days and I like that too. I don't know how AOSP is but I wouldn't want to give up the Sense type of UI with the different screens that rotate and such.

I think there's more to it than that under the surface and maybe that's what people don't like but as far as any lag I never noticed any on stock and don't notice any now.

Exactly! It amazes me how much Sense-bashing occurs around here! I like the atmosphere that Sense brings to a phone. Always have always will.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
**This is not aimed at anyone in particular***

So we should all like Sense? I don't care about it either way. I like what I like ... you like what you like...it's called choice.. I swear, you put a bunch of like minded people together and they find a reason to argue. We like Android, we like choice, some people like Sense, some don't. Some people like chocolate, and some don't...see where I'm going here...??? If you can't understand or get behind that then I really do feel for you.

My $.02:

I can't stand the Sense launcher. On my DInc, I got used to running ADW at 5 columns x 6 rows, and so I find it impossible to go back to a 4x4 launcher, ESPECIALLY having such a hi-res screen. It just seems like a waste to me.

However, I LOVE all the other trappings of Sense - the lockscreen is superb, the messages app is great, and the dialer, somehow, is still the best around.

My opinion is that the people who ***** about Sense are mainly complaining about the launcher, which is the easiest thing in the world to swap out.

I'll gladly swap out the things I don't care for, so long as the overall experience isn't slowed down by the skin; and I think on the Rezound we can safely say that it isn't.
[HTC Rezound] phio:
I hated sense until I got this phone. I don't think I'll ever go back to any other launchers.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
I hate sense.

I love sense.

Summarized.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I agree. I have never been able to figure out what posters where talking about when they say that Sense it slow/laggy/bogs the phone down etc etc etc

My phone flies with sense & I like it. I think people claiming it slows down the phone just don't have a clue how to set up their system correctly.

I have paid versions of both LPP+ and ADWLauncher EX (I ran LPP+ for a long time in my Droid X) but I like Sense so much in the Rezound I don't bother installing the other launchers anymore.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I'm as stock as it comes and there's plenty of lag with sense on this phone. A third of the time when I back out of an app, I have to wait at least 30 seconds for sense to reload. Really kind of pathetic actually. With that being said, I love sense or I wouldn't have purchased this phone.

Edit: none of my settings are crippled by the way.

If this isn't your first HTC phone with sense and your still *****ing about it, look in the mirror and you'll find your real problem.

[HTC Rezound] badogg:
:eek:

Something is wrong there. I have never had an app take that long to close and sense to reload.

Have you boosted up you're SD Card speed maybe? Try SD Speed Increase from the market and bump it up to 2048k instead of 128k.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I had the same problem. Sense constantly crashed hitting the home button. Then it would take like 20 seconds for it to reload.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
there is something seriously wrong there.

I have never had even close to that kind of lag even when my phone was dead stock.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
The real problem with sense is the simple fact that it doesn't work as well as AOSP using things like Tasker. The inability to use Tasker to control my GPS is more than enough to commit me to never using anything but AOSP if possible.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
My Rezound running stock has never FC'd sense
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
What disturbs me about threads like these is that opinions go both ways. The people "complaining" about Sense have just as much right as the people singing it's praises. However you don't hear "You're a a-hole for liking Sense", you hear plenty of "There's something wrong with you if you don't like Sense". Get me? Take the personal crap out of it and let it be about the product. For the people that don't like Sense maybe being more constructive about your criticism would help alleviate some of the butt hurt in threads like these. Don't just call it a laggy piece of "S" and expect to walk away unscathed. For the people that do like Sense, again be constructive maybe suggest a way to help someone fix an issue or just not use Sense so you never have to hear from them again. Either way...win-win.

Clearly there is something not right. I have never experienced anything remotely similar to your experience. I'd look at your SD card...maybe uninstall the suspected problem app and then reinstall it on another volume? I'm guessing that problem is fixable...ymmv.

I had that occasionally with my Dinc, but it was a result of a lack of memory more than anything.

Don't have it with my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Ummmmm no. Similar, not identical. Not even "almost identical". Unless "almost identical" to you means similar. That's a stretch though eh?

Amen brother! I just prefer stock Android. Always have, always will. But there are things about Sense I DO like and I get why others like it. It's a good thing too because I REALLY don't like the other skins around and my Droid 1 NEEDED to be put out of it's misery. It's all about preference! And whether you use Sense or not, you can always tune things up a little more; there's almost always room for improvement. That's a free life lesson for you all :cool:

That bug always gets me too :D
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Sooo, I'm bugging ya'll? :D
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
I can see both sides but I prefer aosp. What I'm more concerned with right now is the battery life of current ICS sense builds. I hope it can be resolved. I've had my resound less than a week and tried 2 ICS sense roms and 2 gb sense roms. The gb seem smoother and last longer than the ICS, though I'm sure if we had cm7 it would be better than either. So I'm impatiently waiting for a resolution to what I see as a deal breaker for running ICS right now and hoping for aosp :)
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
In the past couple of days, there has been some vast improvements to the ICS roms, and I am having some decent battery life.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
What roms? Every one i try has horrid battery life. Much worse than my bolt had.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Do you have a 3.8v battery? If so there's your problem. Most everyone with a 3.7v battery reports great battery life from ICS.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
How exactly do you check this again? I forget.
[HTC Rezound] ihavenolife008:
Multiple ICS roms have been run on my end, battery life between them and GB ROMs is more or less the same. Had one issue, and it was a really early ICS leak ROM.

Take the battery out, flip it over, and look for the tiny 3.7 or 3.8V. For me its at the top, almost in the center of the first line of writing.

[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
you guys with the sense crashing thing when you hit home realize that it's a memory issue for the most part, right? what happens is you've got an app that's hogging up a bunch of memory, so sense closes itself, only to be opened when you go back home.

for me, ti was words with friends..that stupid ass game took up 100mb of memory for NO reason whatsoever, and everytime i went home, sense restarted itself. so i deleted that game and left that to use for my tablet only. fixed that problem for me. so again, it's probably an app you have hogging up memory. facebook is a huge culprit most of the time, so look at how mcuh memory that's eating.

I have never seen Sense pause like that unless I was freezing bloat and it caused Sense to have to reload because I disabled some element of it. Now I typically have about 400mb free RAM and I have yet to see it lag like others are describing...
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I'm kinda surprised. I had similar experience with my TBolt as well. It may be my SD Card since that is the obvious common denominator. I'll monitor it and see if I can pin point an app before I go buying a new SD Card.

You're in luck. It would appear that Scott's ICS CleanRom might have this fixed. It is being tested right now I think, as a service pack to flash.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I really don't why every chance you get you bash the ICS roms. They are highly stable and most of the issues have been addressed. BT streaming? check. Sense FC's? check. Mainver? check. They do everything a phone should do.

Agreed. As I myself have said before, if the gnex hadn't had ****ty hardware I would have kept it for aosp. I love HTC phones but I hate sense. I have hated sense ever since having the evo 4G and first installing CM7.

I just wish they would give you a choice. It would almost be like buying a windows computer, but liking Linux more, but you can't install Linux without breaking super encrypted codes.

I think many of these companies would sell more phones if they all brought out a decent hardware phone that was going to get full aosp releases or they were giving out the source codes.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
i just hope when we get aosp we get some kernels that boost the notification/media volumes. the phone is way to quiet for me on both ICS or GB. even when using volume+ or dsp manger. it's sad because i just bought my wife a fascinate and her media volumes are loud as ever and i can hardly hear mine. i also hope future kernels will improve battery life.

the only reason im back on GB is because ICS was too buggy and laggy yet.

Don't think so. But i also didn't see it at all on sense 4 previews.

Agreed. The software is part of the phone. If you don't like it, buy something else or use a different launcher.

used that on my t bolt and it worked as well as any other launcher but with more polish than other 3rd party launchers.

maybe people should just give it a rest. You obught the phone knowing it was on there...

throw another launcher on there and call it a day.

I wonder how many widgets pepple are running. I can make any launcher lag loading up on widgets. Funny thing is that people complain about how much of a resource hog sense is, but adw with widgets to replace the sense ones, uses more ram for me.

android will close sense if you are running something that needs the space. Seen this on adw as well. Usually adw loads, but my wishers take time to come back or give me an error.

If sense is crashing, then something is wrong. If its loading then something else closed it for more resources.

I disagree. I bet if there were 2 rezounds side by side, on stock Gb, on with sense, more people would take sense becquerel of the look and stock functionality of the widgets.

NFW, 999 out of 1000 Verizon customers are totally clueless about hardware specs.

Most customers would find a senseless phone boring as hell.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I agree with you about the hardware specs...not the exact number but the concept. However with Honeycomb and now ICS I think the playing field is being leveled. Let's face it if someone were to look at an iPhone interface and compare it's blase icon only layout to Froyo, why would anyone ever go iPhone? It's beyond boring. So obviously boring doesn't mean much in the sales game.

If you only factor in the people that would buy an Android phone I don't think they'd notice or care. They'd more than likely go with the next iteration of the phone they already have unless someone said "hey check out the blah blah it does this really cool thing". HTC people tend to stick with HTC, Moto people stick with Moto, etc...

We all choose the phone's we choose for different reasons. There should be no argument here. Now for the love of pete let this topic die...it was supposed to be about ICS...
