[General Questions and Answers] blake .l:
Was thinking about getting one of them.. what is the difference between the x10 and the x10a??
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
I am trying to understand this phenomena.. I realize this is more of a philosophical topic than a technical topic, but its something I think about ever day when I read the forums and try to help people with stuff.

To start, my good friend, and my wife have rezounds. To be fair, my wife could care less about the ROM she is running, but, I like to keep her updated. My friend and I go back and forth about what rom is better, he likes Rrez rom, I like Cleanrom, but we flash back and forth.

Out of the 3 of us, We have never had any of the problems that I see other people having. Why?

We all (you guys too) have the same phones, we flash the same software, how is it that Joe gets 24 hours of battery life, flawlessly smooth performance, crystal clear reception.. while John gets an overheating battery, stuttering performance, unusable signal and 4 hours of battery life?

I continue to read posts from people complaining that this rom sucks or that rom sucks..

So.. is it the PERSON, the PHONE or...

maybe not all rezounds are the same inside, and maybe some software does not work with some versions of the phone. That seems pretty ridiculous though.

When I flash mine and my wife's phone, i usually "race" them to see who's is fastest (ya.. its stupid i know). But from the first power down, to wiping to flashing the rom. i press the buttons at the exact same time, and both phones complete the process at the exact same time, boot up in the exact same time..

you get the idea.

just to see if there are any differences, I did a clean flash of clean rom 4.1 on both phones, and let them sit with the screens on, full brightness for 1 hour. they BOTH drained to 83%.

These phones were purchased 3 months apart, and one from VZW and the other from Amazon.

my buddy has never had any of these problems either (his wife has a rezound, but she wont let him flash it)

none of us have had problems, why?

I am not trying to discount anyone's problems, obviously if your phone is overheating, its not something you are making up.. but why is it that YOUR phone heats up, yet mine doesn't

This is a real question, and I think it deserves some sort of analysis. A real answer could go a long way to helping people who are having problems others are not.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Case in point, people are complaining that the radios in the new leak suck. They are getting crappy reception and they regret updating.

i LOVE the new radios!!! i get AWESOME reception!!.

Right now im sitting at 17 hours with 30% left and I tethered my laptop at school for 3 hours while doing homework at school.

A few days ago, I let the battery die (didnt charge it overnight) and it charged over 60% in 30 min, it was awesome lol
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
60% in 30 minutes? on the new ICS firmware? it took me 1 hour and 20 minutes to go up from 14% to 70% today...
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
trust me, I was just as surprised as you, I was sitting in lecture and it shut off on me. I went to study and plugged it in with the HTC charger and the supplied cable (i love that cable) while I read over some material, 30 min later I unplugged it and it was at 62%, I almost fell over lol

im on 4.1 with stock kernel. I flash my phone so much that I dont have **** installed on it (battery saver wise or whatever). It just a normal phone. I dont OC it, I dont run apps that close programs..just stock build
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
I've wondered the same thing. I'm somewhere in the middle here. I have some heat problems (can't charge and use a lot of mobile network, heavy games push me to 120-ish), my battery life kinda sucks (it's great, as long as I don't use it... but I get like 2 hrs screen on time). Overall though, it's not a terrible situation, and I still dig the phone.

But stories of 24 hour battery life and never seeing temps above 90 sound like tall tales to me.

I think some of it is that we all have our own interpretation of "moderate" use. I'd imagine some people think two hours of screen time is moderate use (a few facebook checks, some phone calls, and some email over the course of a day). To me it's extremely light... I'm at an hour+ by 10AM most days, 2 by the end of work, then I run with gps, play a game or two in the evening, and you get the idea.

I can't speak for those who have radio/ reception problems... but I've become pretty convinced that the other two main "issues" are mostly due to perception.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I think some of this may be location... if you are in an area where reception is spotty, your phone works harder to gain a connection, gets hotter doing it and uses more battery power.

I went from last Thursday to Monday morning with zero WiFi and the phone was using more power than my normal use, but the connection was solid, speeds were solid as well. I normally use WiFi most of the day because if I am at home or at work, I have a good solid WiFi signal and the phone uses less power (for me at least). My test over the weekend was a good test for me showing that while 4G was solid, if I have WiFi available I save battery power using it.

In general, I have rarely had issues with any phone that I use. Never had to replace one or return it for defects or any other reason. I am good to my equipment though, my Dinc still looks brand new and I got it pre-launch.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
It's about 20% phone problems and 80% problems with the people. A good majority of people who flash and then complain are those who don't know what the heck they're doing. In the case of the new firmware, many didn't follow the directions to a T. They got a bad flash or a bad download. Then there are those who flash a new ROM and don't take the time to read everything before doing so. These are the 80% that are essentially complete morons. They do idiotic things that just can't be explained. These are the types of people who should either not be flashing ROMs or who should be using iPhones. In my opinion, if you don't read everything and then complain about something not working correctly, it's your fault.

That being said, there are phones that just suck straight from the factory. Some people who really know what they're doing have these phones and get bad results when running the new firmware and different ROMs. There are plenty of these people on here that have these issues. I feel bad for these people. I certainly don't feel bad for the other 80% who go into a thread and complain that the ROM sucks or something when it's completely their fault.

EDIT: And yes, much of the battery drain and temp problems can be blamed on location for those who have phones that just can't seem to grab a 4g signal for too long. I live in an area where my 4g is solid 99% of the time, so I have no issues. I was in an area about 2 hours south of where I live the other day, though, that had crap 4g signal. My phone definitely drained pretty quickly that day and did get a bit hot.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
These are all good points. and actually I never considered location before,

And i thin you are right on with the perception. There has to be a way to standardize some of the stuff to rule out perception. So when people say "man i get crappy battery" We can say "well did you run the (insert standardized battery test) test? what was the result?"

say the test was something like leaving the screen on for 2 hours, starting with a full charge and in airplane mode to rule out reception. Theoretically, all phones with the same ROM and kernel should drain the same amount ..
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
It is also common for people to see a new mod/rom etc.. and rush to try it out without doing any prep for how they will recover if it doesn't work, how to go back, ramifications of the changes they make... checking first to see if others had problems with it first... etc.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Exactly. The "80%" problem in my post. People don't read. It's a shame.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
lol, Rom devs should put in a system where new people are required to read the entire "read me" file along with flash instructions, and then answer a 20 question test and score at least 90% on it. Then, and ONLY then do they get the DL link :) After 10 or so times of doing this, the requirement would be lifted.

this idea makes me laugh..
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Shouldn't make you laugh... it's a great idea!
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Hahaha that's actually a really good idea lol :D I would change it to 95% or higher, though. :D
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i know for a fact i'm not blaming it on the rom, or not reading right, or not flashing the firmware right.

i did everything right, and i'm 150% positive of that. thing is, when a rom runs great for the first 4 days or so, then out of nowehre i'm going from 18 hours of battery to 5 hours of battery, clearly there's an issue SOMEWHERE.

i'd love to blame it on verizon trying to push 4g here, but i run on wifi most of the time, so i don't think that's it.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I've read your posts in the threads. I meant to put that in my post that you weren't one of the 80% I was talking about. I think yours is a case of the other 20%. Or it could be something to do with the firmware going all bonkers on you.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
by the way, your sig is aweomse. :)

And yes, **** does happen sometime. but its usually clear from the way the post is written that the person was clueless.

posts usually start like this

"I tried searching but didnt find the answer...."

and then they ask how to flash the rom, or something else that has been covered 1000 times (you have to UPGRADE TO NEW LEAK FIRST)
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah man, i really hope it's not! everything went smoothly...well, almost smoothly, i was one of the few where the phone froze on the white HTC screeen, and i did a batt pull, and when it rebooted, it began the second step of installation..but i have yet to have any force closes or anything. maybe i'm subconsciously using my phone more? i really don't think so. screen on time should pretty much help judge that, and it's not showing anything out of the ordinary...and better battery stats isn't showing any crazy up time..my awake time is like 39%..i mean, maybe the 4g issue is it? idk..like i said, i run wifi often, so that means mobile networks OFF...

then again, i'm running just 3g tonight ot see if 4g comes on again, and 3g keeps turning off, and switching to 1x..like, constantly...so they MUST still be doing something down here..
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Hahahahaha, that's a dead giveaway that they didn't really look lol.

And thanks :D If you click on my sig it'll take you to my thread to look at others I've done lately :D

I got stuck also. Scared the hell out of me. But mine seems to have gone through the RUU perfectly and I've been getting insane battery life lately. Like at least a day every cycle on a stock 3.8v. It really could be a case of bad timing with the new firmware and Vzw updating 4g in your area that could be killing your battery. I hope you figure it out soon, though. That would be driving me insane.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
you're running the RUU? i'm running joel's Bamf. works pretty well; i like ICS better, in general
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Sorry, I meant I ran the leaked RUU and firmware and that's where I got stuck for a minute. But I'm on BAMF right now. I always run the latest BAMF. :D
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Same spot as you guys. I got stuck at the HTC boot current and did a battery pull to complete the RUU. I am getting ok battery life. Maybe 8 hours but I haven't really tried to now to narrow it down. I am noticing alot of awake time so I have to see why that is.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
How do you get rid of the ads that seem to be sig's on posts? Can I pay to make them go away?
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
The common denominator I've seen among people with issues seems to be apps that aren't optimized for ICS. I run very few apps and have seen no heat issues and improved battery life over the old leak. Not sure what apps could be causing this , but I would uninstall and re install apps until I found out what is causing it.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Yeah I just haven't sat down and tested yet.
[HTC Rezound] twolasrnames:
This actually was the case when I rooted my Hero. You had to click on a bunch of links and at least scroll to the bottom of them before you got the one click download link. I always thought that was weird, until I got to the rezound, and had a phone with quite a bit of dev love. Some of the questions kill me. Dudes don't even try to figure anything out, and of course someone always at least points them in the right direction, or just flat out gives them the answer.

To the OP, I don't think people wipe when changing roms, or just do a factory reset and don't wipe anything else. They can't get x working, someone asks if they did a full wipe, and they just think a factory reset is a full wipe. I think I've flashed every rom available, and not had any abnormal problems.
[HTC Rezound] snarl16:
I can tell you from experience that each phone is different. My wife and I both got rezounds on the same day. For the first few months, they were identical. Then the OTA came out and my phone went bad. I went from getting home from work with 70% battery life to having to charge every 4 hours. I did multiple wipes on the phone and re-installed cleanrom each time and it never would get any better. The phone was constantly hot as well. This was back on GB before ICS was available so I know it had nothing to do with apps being incompatible. I even started to diagnose what the battery differences were and I could leave my phone sitting overnight with no apps on it and no syncing of anykind and I would wake up to find it had lost 25-30% by just sitting there. My wifes phone on the otherhand could sit there and sync email, facebook, weather etc all night long and her phone would still be over 90% in the morning. Here is a link to the thread that I had going with my various tests: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1503712

Ultimately, I had to end up exchanging my phone for a new one. There was no explaining what had changed along the way and why it got such poor battery life all of a sudden. The good news is my new phone does great. I am running CleanRom 4.1 and am getting home with 75% battery left after a normal day. All I would say is not every person flashing ROMs is incompetent like the OP made it sound. Now there are definitely a lot of people on here that do not bother to read threads and posts on how to flash a ROM and I am sure quite a few problems come from that. I would just like to point out there are also just some hardware bugs that cannot be explained.
[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
I was one of the lucky ones who had only 3.7 batterys, never experienced abnormal heat patterns, phones just worked. When the HTC Unlock was released, I couldnt unlock, something with my original phone (bought day 1) wouldnt let me flash the unlock token. I called VZW and they replaced it only after I told them they are hurting my lively hood as an app developer. They sent me a refurb and it worked great, no problems.

Last week my screen stopped working, nothing would display, but the digitizer worked and the phone worked (I could call it and answer, by memory of the screen) but with no display. I brought it to VZW and they replaced it with another refurb.

This refurb sucks, overheats like a mofo. I used to be able to set my CPU to 192 MHz and turn off all radios and it would draw sub 100mA when the screen was off, this refurb I currently have will not draw less than 400mA all the time. Everything off the phone lasts less than 8 hours on ext battery. I tried relocking RUUing to the OTA GB version, same issue. I dont know what to do about the heat issue, the phone runs 110+ all the time, even when sitting idle with nothing on for more than an hour.

I love my rezound but I have had it with refurbs, I am going to call vzw today and demand a NEW replacement. I know they will tell me I should try a new phone but I am gonna stick with the rezound, if this happens again, Ill just deal with it until some quad-core drops on VZW and then have them replace with that.

Has anyone else had ****ty luck with refurbs overheating? Does anyone know a specific batch/lot number that were the overheating ones people originally had issues with?
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Ya, I got the idea from the student loan process. Anyone who has has government student loans knows about their annoying test. My school says before they give me the money each year, I have to take the stupid "test" twice.

it makes you read the loan documentation and gives you the information you need to know (wow I have to pay this BACK!? what kind of voodoo is this!?)

then you have to answer the multiple choice questions, ITS SO ANNOYING! lol.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
oh my GOD i hate that loan test crap!! so happy i'm out of school now...wait, no i'm not, because now i'm paying for it. hahah
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Ya.... I know im going to be screwed when I graduate.

I think im at 40k in loans, im a Junior, but Im doing an engineering degree, so this is my 3th year with 2 to go, AND im doing grad school..

not looking forward to those payments. hopefully it is all worth it, and I land some 200k job doing "cool things" lol. but most likely ill just be unemployed like all the rest of the people I know who have college degrees
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
I used to wonder the exact same thing as well. I consider myself to be a member of "flashaholics anonymous" though I've yet to on my Rezound, go figure. But anyway, when I get ready to flash a rom I make it a point to read the changelog, known bugs and flashing procedure and files necessary. I never dirty flash even if the dev says it's ok to do so. I learned to take some of people with insane battery stats with a grain of salt. I can get 24 hours of battery as I'm a light user and use wifi when I'm at home. Back on the 3D forum I used to see people post screenshots of getting two and three days of battery life until I found out on my own that if your phone never runs down completely and never charges completely the battery usage doesn't reset. Is the Rezound the same way? I've never checked but I'd assume so since it's android.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
don't worry bud, I've got 40 grand of debt, and i finished grad school in may 2011,and i work for a verizon store. SIGH.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Mine charges really quick.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I guess I am one of those people that has a great one. Amazing reception (way better than before), great battery, and super fast.
[HTC Rezound] Mempharaoh:
Okay phone has been going downhill since the update, speedtest have good to idk and downloads that would take two minutes at the most take an half hour or more, the strangest thing is yesterday I went to the Verizon store did a speed test on the floor model from the exact same server at the same time as mine and it was five times faster. It had also had the update. Is there anything I can do to speed up my phone I really don't want to exchange it
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
Wait a minute, the Rezound in the Verizon store had ICS on it??

Here are both files in one if you want them.

I just updated with LG updater in recovery mode and downgraded from

V20C without going back to stock. Then rooted with Megatron

with no problems.

I am not taking any credit for either of these files, just giving a good secure

download location for both files in 1 spot.

little help!!

hi im new here im waiting 2 get my thrill already ordered it so...

well i got some questions since this will be my 1st andriod phone...

i already know that v20p is the official at&t gb rom and well ill follow some steps that i already read to upgrade it.

so my questions are...

1. the phone is suposed to come unlucked if i upgrade/switch to custom rom... like whith the iphone that u have 2 unluck everytime...

2. im planing to upgrade to v20p but what if i want 2 install that Thrillz GB to overclock the phone? do some1 know if it works? and well ive read that it isnt another rom so i guess it is some modification on the already installed rom or am i wrong?
[LG Thrill 4G] obtained:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by unlocked in your first question. but to answer your second question: thrillz gb will not work with v20p. You'll have to flash something like v20c.
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
Unlocked and Jailbreak is an iPhone thing !

Please speak slowly to him,......he just came from an iPhone.

No, you will not have to unlock or Jailbreak every time you do a

rom upgrade. Although sometimes you may have to re-root the phone, it

is a very easy process.

Thanks,

Dwayne

PS; Just leave your thrill stock for now until the awesome team of Dev's

on here come up with some fixes for V20P. That will make it simplest for you.
[LG Thrill 4G] obtained:
ooooooooohh.. i've never owned an iphone. i did touch one once and said "you really like this phone????"
[LG Thrill 4G] idriff:
unlocked

well by unlocked i mean career free... and im calling it unlocked cause amazon called em unlocked phones.

and well i dont want to stay with froyo since i've read that battery doesnt last with it and im looking 2 upgrade to gb and was thinking att gb or cm7 wich i believe its gb too... but with cm7 i lose the 3D so im open to recomendations... :D

pd: cant post urls :(
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
LOL !!

Hey, just wait till the end of this week, Flash V20P KDZ and run the Biohazard Rom... Youll be happy if you .o

PS: Battery life sucks no matter what
[LG Thrill 4G] idriff:
thaxs

well thanks 4 your help

i guess ill do that... but how long does battery lasts?? i think i can live recharging once a day
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
Your lucky if the batt on this phone lasts a day with moderate use.

You can always buy one of those 3500 mah batteries on ebay for like 15-20

bucks. and get about 75% more life.

Today I installed the AOKP ROM for my phone and whenever I go to Gallery or try to take a picture or any other number of apps that need access to the internal SD card, I get the message "No external storage available." I do not own an external sd card so I would like to use the internal one. How would I go about doing this? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
This is an issue that's currently being looked into by Whitehawk and all the other ics devs. If internal storage is an absolute necessity, I suggest you hang with gb for now. Maybe try the cm7.2 RC1 or Hellfire Phoenix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kookooktchoo:
By default, the internal storage is mounted to mnt/emmc and the external to mnt/sdcard. I modified my vold.fstab (/etc/vold.fstab) to switch the two around and I have access to the internal storage now. Is this what you're looking for?
