I'm not sure if its for online deals only..but if you call them they will give you credit on the difference. I could be wrong but I think its good for 2 weeks.
[HTC Rezound] Gorilla*:
Ugh. 50.00 it escapes me....... I need a job quick.
[HTC Rezound] d-style:
I bought mine on 3/29 for $199 and walked into the Verizon store that I bought it from and they gave me the difference back. It was $100 back onto my credit card plus a $50 mail in rebate.
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
get im gonna have to get another :D
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
verizon just needs to learn how to market their devices.
[HTC Rezound] Alexithymia2010:
Well I did purchase this phone online ... do you have any idea how late Verizon's call centers are open?
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
10pm i believe.
[HTC Rezound] Alexithymia2010:
Sir, if you are correct, I will love you forever.
[HTC Rezound] TheBr0ken:
Just ordered mine this morning and was made aware of a $100 off any 4G smartphone promo. So essentially I wasted an extra $50, but I was able to get the Rezound for free. You will need to currently have a 3g phone and be in certain markets to qualify, but can't beat the deal! :D
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
I have my rez for a couple of months and I have zero problems with it. Nothing.

No audio hissing. No dust under screen. No horrible over heating. No battery drain.

I do wonder what went wrong with this phone though. I have never really seen this many problems with it according to other people. Some people exchanging the phone 5-6 times? That's crazy.

It's no wonder Verizon wants it to just go away.

Same here. Can't beat it for that price. Mine will arrive Thursday.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
My first one had seperation around the bottom and a lot of light leakage. My second still has the separation and the speaker isn't as loud... I've never had to return any device for build issues accept this one. That being said. This is still easily the best phone I've owned. And now that it's for 50 bux hopefully the development will increase because you cannot beat that deal. I paid retail for mine. I'm thinking about sending this one back because the speaker not being as loud pisses me off sometimes when watching YouTube clips or showing people stuff. The separation around The bottom doesn't bother me because I always have a case on it that hides it. Plus u can only see it at night when the LED lights are on

There's been worse... Droid Charge *cough cough cough* T-bolt *cough cough* List could go on!
[HTC Rezound] ssb13:
Get it from Amazon Wireless, no tax. At least mine didn't when I got it on the $.01 sale back in December.
[HTC Rezound] SpyderWeiss:
I picked mine up in January, with my upgrade discount and tax it was like $180, I'll be picking another one up for my wife at the end of the month, glad we only have to pay $50 plus tax for the second one!
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
That price said it was good "as long as supplies last"

They will probably be gone by the end of the month.
[HTC Rezound] illcat2000:
My wife's rezound will be here tomorrow. You can't beat 50 bucks for any high end smartphone let alone a 4G phone. I am positive the rezound will not be as bad as her current Droid 3 pos
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I imagine she will love it.

We have both phones on out corporate account & the rezound is a MUCH better phone in every way really.

I have installed custom ROM's in the rezounds for our users, but the rezound really works just fine on the stock locked/stock ROM setup.

I'm pretty sure sales tax depends on what state you live in.

When I order from Amazon in New York state I get charged sales tax on some purchases & not on others. If the retailer that the item is coming from has an outlet in NYS then I get charged tax, other times there is no tax.

I am 95% sure I paid sales tax on my rezound when I got it from Amazon.
[HTC Rezound] knights665:
I paid 350 off contract
[HTC Rezound] Alexithymia2010:
To give you guys an update, I called Verizon Customer Support and they charged the difference of $150 to my account, but could not refund it back to my credit card. I assume it's because I bought it on verizonwireless.com and not through some other place. But oh well. Still worth it!
[HTC Rezound] brock350:
Don't know how much your plan is.. but a least you won't have a bill or as big of a bill next month.
[HTC Rezound] Alexithymia2010:
I'm covered for pretty much the next few months. Awesome.
[HTC Rezound] aDigitalPhantom:
I got mine for 49.99$ +3$ tax.

Also on Verizon's site it says "While supplies last" and "Hurry, Offer ends 4/9"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcanecho:
I was running AOKP for a few days and I decided it wasn't going to work for me. So, I reboot into recovery, wipe everything and restore my CM7.1 backup. The CM 7.1 backup restores just fine. I boot the phone once to make sure it works and it does. I then immediately reboot into recovery so I can install gapps. Booting into recovery hangs for a minute so I pull the battery and try to boot into recovery. This is where the problem arrises. The phone doesn't boot into recovery unless it is plugged into the USB. After selecting the recovery option in the bootloader, the screen goes black, vibrates 4-5 times and the green LED flashes. Also, the phone will no longer boot into the CM7.1 backup. If I restart the phone, the white HTC EVO screen displays and then the same vibrate/screen/LED issue happens again.

Can someone point me to the right direction for fixing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] - NeX -:
This is my first post on the XDA forum. I registered only 2 try 2 have a reply 2 a problem that in my language (italian) is impossible to find out.

This is the best place for everything concerning android world so I hope to be lucky.

This morning my galaxy nexus, while I was playing @ paradise island, freezed and started to play several times a sound that was like an emergency (almost like the overheat processor beep in the computer cases - never heard that before). After this emergency beep the phone shutted off.

When I turned it on the Google logo appears but it start having gliches and reboot. This infinite times until the battery is removed. Sometimes it arrives to the colorful background but that times also it freeze (without gliches) and reboot.

Tryin 2 find out the problem I had a soft reset (battery off for 10 mins) but nothing.

I tried also an hard reset. The phone anyway after having selected RECOVERY MODE from the apposite menu start the google logo and when reaches the "red alert signal droid" the droid is gliched and the phone freeze and reboot. And start another time infinite reboots.

Someone know what kind of problem the phone have? It enters without problems in odin mode and the (I kind is called) bootload mode but don't start the recovery mode. I'm totally n00b, the phone is in fact stock, and I don't want 2 wait 1 month of assistance time if is a problem that can be resolved also @ home.

Please help me if you can and thanks for gifting me with your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Sorry to ask but I don't understand gliched, can you get in Stock Recovery (the "red alert signal droid" as you call it), push volume up and power at the same time and enter the recovery menu? Or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] - NeX -:
no I can't. The droid is gliched so the volume up + power combo doesn't work. The phone reboot some times. Some others times (like the trying I had now) the phone freezes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Try flash the google stock images through fastboot, there are threads with instructions and links to everything you will need.

You should be able to fix whatever is wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] - NeX -:
If doing it I can loose warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
No, you can re-lock your bootloader when you are done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] - NeX -:
And the problem for sure is going 2 be solved? Seems super!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
It MAY solve your problems, if they are software related.

If its a hardware problem it won't.

Give it a try anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] - NeX -:
ok i'll search and try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshtb86:
to me, sounds like hardware problem.

this is the toolkit you should try - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
He is better off using fastboot and learning something.

Tool kits are the wrong way to do things, it is better to know what is actually happening when you pick an option in a toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] - NeX -:
the problem is that I don't know anything of this stuff. I don't know how to start.

The toolkit guide is huge and I think i should do only 2 or 3 of the all listed operation...

For now i took only the kit, the pdanet for win 64 and the yakju 4.0.4 from the google page. I don't know how 2 put them on and in which order.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HighFlyer13:
Oh, phone of my colleague has the same issue. We don't know what to do cause we can't connect Nexus to computer. When trying to do this Fastboot 2147483647 error occurs. Adb devices gives empty list.

It looks like rocket science to me at first(Gnex is my first smartphone), do it slowly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Not sure if this is different on other phones but for me to get to recovery its not Volume up + Power. Its Volume up + volume down + power (i.e. hold both volume buttons then hold power button until it vibrates or the google logo shows up)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
I read the review on Engadget for the One X.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-one-x-review/

Scroll down to the performance chart to see that even though this uses Tegra 3, it significantly outperforms the prime. Is there a reason for this? Is the processor really the same?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Yes, those were interesting results. I tried to run Quadrant to see what's up, and it crashes during the 3D graphics portion. So, yeah. I have a feeling there are some issues with this build (and perhaps .15), because I pretty much can't play ANY games without crashing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
Not just the processor has influence in the score you know, the prime is known for having really poor sdcard performance something to do with the scheduling. Also the newer batches of tegra 3 are made from a different small process or something like that which makes them for efficient at lower clock speeds and such.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I like to see someone do i/o performance benchmarks on non Prime Tegra 3s.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
That does not explain why the TFP suck so badly in LinPack. It's like ASUS have disabled 2 of the 4 cores in Android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Just FYI, I ran Vellamo on mine and got 1439. Still not as good as the One X, but better than the results in the spreadsheet. Oh, and 1797 on SunSpider, also closer to the One X.

Okay, just ran Linpack, and the highest score was 134.92. Interestingly, scores were all over the place, from a low around 54 to that high score. Looks like the Tegra 3 is being pretty selective in how it applies the cores when put under the kind of load that Linpack exerts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
demandarin, you beat me to it, well said! People have to remember the other factors involved when comparing two devices using the same chipset. Also, benchmakrs are now coming to the point of being rather usless, they are either biased towards one type of CPU, they don't stress a certain cpu as much (dual core versus quad core) etc. I base the ability of a chip on its real world performace.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slightlyevolved:
Screen size does not affect performance. Screen resolution, yes; size, no.

It takes the same amount of CPU/GPU power to drive a 5in screen as it does a 3.5in if they both had, say, a 640x480 resolution.

The battery on the other hand...

Pretty much what else you said applies.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
OK, screen resolution. its makes a HUGE difference in scoring. ill edit post to remove screen size. but check out my quadrant score and that's with alot higher resolution. still beating out the One S S4 snapdragon chip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
The question here isn't around the processor in the One S vs. the Tegra 3, but rather the difference in results between the Tegra 3 in the One X and the Tegra 3 in the Prime. The results in the article make one question why our Primes are performing so poorly in comparison.

My own testing, however, shows that the results in the story are off (although I can't run Quadrant to compare), and if the Tegra 3 in the One X is 1.5GHz, then that might explain the difference from my results.

I did find my Linpack scores interesting because they're so inconsistent...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dave_S:
The Linpack benchmark has nothing at all to do with screen resolution so the graphics excuse does not apply there. The Linpack benchmarks are a measure of a system's floating point computing power. In that test the dual core One-S was over twice as fast as the quad core One-X, and almost 50% faster on the multithreaded benchmark, where one would normally expect the quad core to outperform.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
I dont know what engadget did with the prime test?

- forgot to put it on performance mode?

- only 1 test instead of multpiple tests (and calculating the average)?

- background tasks in progress?

- test on honeycomb?

my results (i did 3 to 5 runs per application), still somewhat lower than the one x, but not as bad as in the engadget tests...

Linpack single thread: 50-55

Linpack multi thread: 100-150

Quadrant: 4500-5300

Nenamark2: 50-55

Vellamo: 1450-1700

Sunspider: 1800-1900

and well, the one-s, it was expected to be a beast, the a15 architecture blows the a9 away, also on 2 cores. simple as that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
my Quadrant beating out the One S chip. my score 5,201 to One S 5,053

My sunspider killing One S results by a large margin. remember lower is better. One S 1742.5ms to my Tegra3 1338.4ms.

my nenamark1 score 60.3 to one S 60.8 ..minute difference

I couldn't do linpack because it kept saying inconsistent results and inaccurate data. uninstalled that b.s.

didn't have time to do other benches.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
Differences --

1) The TF Prime is stock clocked at 1.3/1.4 Ghz and the HTC One X Global is stock clocked at 1.5Ghz (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_One_X ; http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/#specs )

2) There is a slight handicap in resolution (to the extent a test is constrained by that), though it is marginal:

1280 x 720 = 921,600

1280x800 = 1,024,000

Difference = 11%

3) Kernel/clock stepping/core switching/power gating differences?

Maybe the One X is running a different version of the nVidia code responsible maintaining how aggressive or conservative the stepping/core switching, etc. is. One thing I've noticed from the One X reviews is that the battery life didn't really impress reviewers.

On the contrary, reviewers praised the battery life on the TF Prime, and test even showed that it was competitive with the iPad2 and notably better than the original Transformer.

The fact that battery life is a bigger issue on the One X may reveal that in addition to the clock speed, maybe the processor is more aggressive about maxing out the clock and more conservative with switching to the smaller core.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andreas527:
In your previous post you wrote that you can't compare device with different screen resolution and other difference.. And now you are doing the same thing.

Use stock browser when running Sunspider not Opera.. Pretty sure that they were using the stock browsers in Engadet tests.

Asus Prime & Tapatalk
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yes, but just did them anyway to show those One S scores can be beat. so imagine if we were at the same resolution my scores would be alot higher.

stock browser sux BTW..lol. I can do one with that also n beat it out. maybe later
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
Im waiting for my HTC one X to arrive this week :)

But seriously its tuned to 1.5 Ghz and also.... its a phone! MUCH SMALLER less power to spend, isn't it just physics and logic?

Have a good night everyone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
This is BS. I remember that my TFP gave around 5000 in quadrant on 9.4.2.15. On .21 it is crashing. However, you should worry about the Q4 snapdragon processor which claims to beat tegra 3 being a dual core processor!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Cue the benchmark pissing contests. Have fun with your waterworks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
And I am awaiting the quad core Exynos in the GS3....rumored 1.5 or 1.8ghz.

Interesting thread, love the number crunching. Reminds me of the days arguing over dyno results.....lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
basically..lmfao. I love disapproving the ones showed though. nothing is better than real world performance.

both Versions are good and perform well so that's all that matters. I would rather get the One X version though. it has the higher resolution, better display, and larger screen. both versions smoke the galaxy note with Exynos though..lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
I'm not sure you quite understand how a Javascript benchmark works if you think decreasing your resolution will vastly increase your results.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
talking about quadrant. my score was higher even at a higher resolution. if my resolution was lower, score would be alot higher. JavaScript means you referring to the browser sunspider. which I scored better anyways. I know resolution has nothing to do with browser scores.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
well... except you used a different browser. Opera is known to perform better on SunSpider than the current iterations of the Android ICS stock browser on any given device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
And for your browser benchmarks you used a totally different browser. The results you posted are all but meaningless and are not comparable in any way, not to mention you were likely overclocked.

We have two primes in our household, and I can assure you that neither of them score anything like 1300ms under the Engadget test conditions. Getting them under 2000ms, even in performance mode is a struggle most of the time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
For what it's worth, Android Central ran some benchmarks, including AnTuTu. Those results for the One X are more similar to the Prime.

The one area where the Prime scored significantly worse than the One X is in SD card write performance. Here are my scores...

[/URL][/IMG]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
hey, can't help if Prime already ahead of the game with overclocking..lol. regardless my quadrant was higher. stock browser does suck and which is why I never use it. plus the whole thing is flawed. if you want to nit pick which browser, then we can nit pick its comparing a newer 28nm chip to a 40nm. so everything is game. so we can even the odds by overclocking, using different browsers, etc..I can use prime stock in performance mode and still score higher in quadrant. But to compare a cell phone to a tablet is moot. Tablet vs. tablet the real battle.

plus real comparison will be made once both versions of Infinity Pad is released. Until then,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
No, everything isn't 'game'. You clearly have no understanding of how benchmarking works. You can't just use whatever you like to claim X product is faster. Those kind of results are meaningless and simply not true.

Your first words in this thread were 'Another flawed benchmark', yet you come in and post your ridiculously flawed benchmarks of your own? You might want to review your own techniques before you criticise anyone else's.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yeah, yeah..lol get over it ;) its all flawed regardless. closet comparison can only be made with both versions of infinity pad since both will have same resolution.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] di11igaf:
Still at 1.6ghz, kernel should be released soon. That being said, qualcom's custom CPU architecture is always faster than what its loosely based on. So the s4 CPU will most likely easily trump a normal cortex a9 clock for clock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
No. That's not how it works.

Look, I respect you as a frequent contributor here, with the discussion you bring and articles you highlight. However, your efforts in nVidia evangelism can cross the line from meaningful debate and discussion to silly, fanboyism and blatant misrepresentations. It has done so here. This is not helpful, confuses newcomers, and hinders discussion.

The fundamental component of testing anything is changing one variable and keeping everything else constant.

If there is a fundamental difference in performance between two SoCs or the same SoC implemented in different products, we should know about it and we should have a meaningful discussion as to why. The whole thing is not flawed. (and that is a terrible excuse.) Meaningful information comes from comparing the same browers, the same test suites (knowing the limitations of each test), and drawing conclusions from the results. If we want to compare a 28nm versus 40 nm we do so--without overclocking, without switching up the browsers, without any other misleading tricks--because we want to actually know the truth about what performance comes out of particular SoC... not simply doing everything we can to paint false numbers as to why the Transformer Prime is the best tablet in the world.

Anything less than our attempts to figure our performance discrepancies without the aid of browser tricks, overclocking, etc. is pointless at best, lying at worse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Fair enough, but results below show a completely different story.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

So the readers don't be confused ;) Here is Anandtech comparison of the exact same 2 phones. yet the results are flipped. Anandtech a more thorough person when it comes to benchmarks. 4 out of the 6 different benchmarks Anandtech ran showed Tegra3 version performing better.

No one has to make Tegra3 look good. it does it by itself as you see from these results.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crazy talk:
except for when you compare it to other tablets.

i don't understand all the chest pumping over benchmarks. something faster will always be out there, whether or not it's the S4, or whatever samsung is working on.

the differences between the one X and the Prime are probably more closely related to kernel/ROM differences than anything. no reason to get all whiny about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that was a good one..lol. yes, new Ipad has tegra3 GPU wise

now lets look at it CPU wise, basically the most important thing in daily usage, multitasking and such

you are right though. newer stuff down the line will "Usually" be better. But as shown, Tegra3 holds it own. People love to show benchmarks favoring other chips(not op but in general). So I show the same ones favoring Tegra3. There's a flip side to everything ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Guys, if you are so concerned with how powerful your prime is, maybe you should be getting a computer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crazy talk:
