[HTC Rezound] cstrife999:
Posts like this remind me of how ignorant some of us are. I am going to be getting my rezound in a day or two (I took advantage of the $50 deal and will be using both this and my nexus) and I'm excited no doubt, but just thinking of how geographically different certain parts of the world are and when they get access to phones versus us is something that makes me feel kinda bad... Congrats man seriously :-). The last thing I was super excited about was when I made my first PC and I got the parts shipped overnight... I couldn't sleep and the truck didn't get to my house till like 5pm... Yea...
[HTC Rezound] dlochinski:
So you'll be using the GSM band of the Rezound aye? Since Kenya doesn't have a CDMA network I believe.
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
Yeah for $50 I jumped all over the rezound. I was going to wait and see what the next HTC phone coming to VZW this year, but $50 is a great price for this phone. I also was reading the post about s-off last Friday and hoping this happens soon. The Rezound is my first phone from HTC with out the s-off.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You have every reason to lose sleep. The rezound is awesome. You are absolutely going to love it!

Welcome aboard and welcome to one of the best and definitely the most underrated and misunderstood phones. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] briankariu:
Thanks all of you for the positive encouragement....tommorrow is the d-day

And i am so mad at americans (No offense) but you got the greatest economy, your govt pays you welfare, sooooo many jobs and you still complain! Plus the latest tech hits your first....while we have to wait a year, a year and a half to get some things.

Immo Kenya is a great country...come and see the lions on the hunt...maybe some pics on my rezound and i post them

we are awesome yes!
[HTC Rezound] briankariu:
Nairobi is tech friendly sure but most people are getting smasung galaxy sII...and around here we have no high end carrier branded phones...plus the rezound was initially a cdmha phone i dont think many people would know how to go about fixing the sim unknown and text issues...

Sounds like you've been to Nairobi...
[HTC Rezound] briankariu:
Thanks bro, and not everyone is tech, and you have to admit, most americans are still stuck on dumb or feature phones...But if i was in the u.s the amount of money i would be blowing on tech would be absurd...

p.s we've been assembling p.cs over here for so long that it doesnt seem so much of a big deal nowadays...

Current rig specs core i7-860(Upgrading soon to a 2600k), 8gb ddr3 corsair gaming ram, 2tb hdd (upgrading to a 1128gb ssd for primary partition) and an ATI radeon 6850

But still none of my buddies has a 720p phone :D:D:D:D:D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
Hi all. My screen is degradating over time.

I bought the phone on christmas.

Screen was perfect now I can see some horizontal lines with different hue also in non gray background.

I can see this lines on this forum also. My display is at 50% brightness.

Have you noticed the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Equinox102:
My first Nexus had this from day one. Purchased on release day in November and it didn't get worse up until I sold it last week. My new Nexus is much better and doesn't have any lines, etc.

I think you'll find the majority of units shipped before the new year will have this issue to some extent. The newer screens are much better.

I once had six units powered on in the dark next to each other. Three were built in November, and the other three in late December. The three from November had lines and a more yellow hue as opposed to the December built models which had no lines and a more natural hue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yes I see the horizontal lines too. They are growing over time. Specifically on the color red. Install dead pixel detect and check each color and you'll see what I mean.

It really doesn't bother me much though.

Umm.. mine isn't black bro. It's the proper ICS background with the lines things fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
My bad. So it is just a higher resolution gradient?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Equinox102:
The two issues here are un-related. He's not talking about gradient banding. He's talking about physical flaws in the panel which manifest themselves as variation in intensity of light output from diode to diode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
True, the displays are just purely crap. There is absolutely no way around it. You might not see or care about it, but it is the simple truth. Samsung didn't deliver on the display. Great phone otherwise, but... I suppose nothing is perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexicon:
How do I check when the phone was manufactured? Didn't see any read out on the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
This is actually something different than the gradient fix in settings menu. My horizontal lines, specifically on color red, grow over time and they are actually hardware related. The actual pixels are changing. And its related to heat too. Hotter temp brings them out, and cooling off reduces them.

Also I can see them spreading gradually. They only hit the top half of the screen, but expand towards the bottom too as it heats up.

Again though this doesn't affect me at all! Its not noticeable and I'm not worried about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
I know I know, I was just providing a bandaid :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Yep i lived to accept my faulty display after 4 exchanges I gave up. Each one had different issues.

The quality control is horrendous. I will never ever purchase another samsung product again. In fact I just bought a 25 inch monitor for my desktop, and went with Asus over samsung, perfect monitor no dead pixels or lines or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I've been around long enough to know that every cell phone company has QC issues. Anyone who disagrees is naive or a liar. You aren't buying a hand built luxury item. It is a mass produced electronic device.

Your beloved Asus is sending out GPS dongles to Prime owners due to their legendary QC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I just never seen 4 phones in a row have issues with the display, and different issues each time?

I can see one going bad, get RMA and fix it, but 4 in a row? Something is very wrong. If this phone cost me $50 I can careless, but when you spend $800 or more you expect it to work 100%

My samsung plasma TV actually has problems unfortunately it happened about 6 months after the 1 year warranty expired so nothing I can do.

I just have a real bad taste with samsung and not sure what I will do for my next phone but I got time to worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Is this possibly because of the pentile display? I hate the grainyness. It was PATHETIC at first but I fixed a lot of it with some color control tweaks. I'm lucky it did make a big difference. Phone looks beautiful now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Its not Samsung, and its not because of pentile. Its due to samsungs new manufacturing process of higher Res amoled which they recently just switched to for the note and nexus. So I believe it should be resolved with the next round of phones they release. I could be wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] formula84:
Curious what you are using for values...while color control is good nothing I do helps the grainy look at lower brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Not to be a troll but try a newer trinity kernel. Morfics "spice" color correction he bakes in makes a big difference. Much less noticeable banding than before. Also my newer gnex (gave old one to wife) doesn't have any banding, is a bit dimmer but much sharper and richer colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
haha i bought one and returned it right away. ASUS needs to work harder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trixnix:
Mine is C1 -- January 2012 build date.

No screen problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
I'm on my third unit, the second one had screen quality issues AND the screen wasn't fitted properly to the case, one corner was pushing out.

Every company might have QC issues, but this is purely unacceptable. I can honestly say my family hasn't had these issues with their iPhones. If I could make the decision now, I would go with the HTC One X.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
to be honest my next phone might be next iPhone. I just want something that works I don't have to hack constantly and no fragmententation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hinds90:
Same here I just hope they make the next one bigger. How exactly can yo tell if the screen is bad?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Yeah hopefully next one will be a lot bigger, but will see.

I can't upgrade until end of 2013 I guess so I got time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:
My phone was awful when first purchased (one of the examples of screens "you shouldn't have to live with" in the screen thread), but is now better than it was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
iPhones are good for those who don't want to tinker or customize their devices. I reccomend them to my family because they like simple.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] musa13:
I never had any of those issues. Battery is actually better for me with ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
It seems to all come down to how good of a connection area you are in. It seems that people in low or bad connection areas experience way faster battery drain on ICS, but if you are in a strong signal strength area the battery actually seems better. Of course, this is just what I have noticed because I work in a low signal strength area (way faster battery drain), but I live in a good signal strength area (extremely good battery life). I've tried several different modems and although the rait of drain varies, it still holds true. Everbody's results may vary. I am hoping when "network switching" is introduced to ICS that it will help solve the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] musa13:
Lower the signal more power is needed by modem to hold connection; this is how all modes work. But I do work in the area with very week LTE or even week 4G and I still get better battery life then with GB. It took few days to get batter battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:

I have been using CM 7.2 by squadzone from RC 0 to RC 5.7 then CyanMobile. There was a day when I found out that maps.google.com didn't request any access to my phone GPS (I don't know that's because of the website's bug or the ROM's bug), thus it could not display my location on the map. The reason why I did not use Google Maps app that time was because GMaps kept FC. Now GMaps is fine but maps.google.com still can not access GPS. Some suggestions will be very gratefull.

How do I delete nand buckups? (noob question)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Assuming you're saving your backups to your external sd card, there will be a folder there called clockworkmod. go in there and then backup. Each folder there is a separate nandroid, just delete the folders of the ones you don't want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
You can use root explorer and find the folder clockwork mod inside sd card or external sd card folder. It should be under the backup folder inside clockwork folder. Delete From there.

In short

Root explorer > sd card/external sd card> clockworkmod> backup. Delete from there.

Hi,

Is there any app to unlock the screen of HTC droid Incredible 2? To unlock the screen every time I have to push the power button, which I fear it may spoil the button. So, guys please suggest me any other way to unlock my phone (HTC droid Incredible 2) screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dreamkiller80:
Most Roms usually have options to use the volume keys to unlock the phone. Its normally found in the tweaks or rom features via the settings menu.

And you do know that that is the reason the power button is there, right? It's kinda like saying you don't wanna use the door to your house, and use the window instead because you don't want to wear out the door.

i believe widget locker has that option to unlock by the volume keys also there is a mod you can flash to the same.

you can also install mi locker wich gives you a bunch of different locks from miui alone with the option to unlock the phone by the volume keys

The app "No Lock" gets rid of your lock screen completely, so all you need to do is press the power button or a volume button if your ROM will let you. It is pretty cool, and should work without being rooted.

[HTC Rezound] bast525:
I haven't used a CPU control, overclocking/underclocking app since I had the Incredible. Like many, I haven't been too thrilled with the Rez's battery life. A few days ago I decided to grab SetCPU off the forums and see if I could improve things.

I set a screen off profile to 384/192/interactive, and also spent much of the day with the screen on speed underclocked to 810/192 (by default, the minimum speed is set to 384 and 192 isn't used...). Even at 810 MHz the phone is plenty speedy enough for "normal" activities, I.e.: text, email, short browsing sessions. When I needed it I bumped speed back up to 1510.

End result? 14 hours off charger, 47% life left (screenshot attached). With a decent amount of usage, browsing, texting, email, and shooting a 10 minute 720p video. Typically, the phone will lose 5-10% per hour unless I'm not using it at all. With pretty regularly use throughout the day (note the screen on blips) with these new profiles, I was losing about 3.5% per hour. Well worth a barely-perceptible drop in performance, IMO.

this is on the last official OTA, with a TON of apps/bloat removed, and on the stock kernel.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Bud, I am on CleanROM 3.7, use 4G all day long, tons of screen on time, no CPU or voltage changes and I can make it damn near 24 hours off the charger, lol.

+1.

HTC phones generally do not get good battery life, but I haven't had the terrible life that a lot of people on the forums do. It's on par with the Incredible, I'd say. Not great, but it could be much worse.

[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I have various profiles that set the CPU at different speeds depending on screen state or battery life.

It goes from 384/1728/interactive when its at 100% and gradually scales down to 192/540/conservative when its <8%.

When the screen is off, I have it set to 192/702/interactive, unless the battery is less than 25% at which time that profile (192/648/conservative) becomes active even when the screen is off.

When on a phone call, the CPU speed is set to 384/1022/interactive, even when the screen is off, unless the battery is less than 25%.

My phone actually behaves pretty reasonable at 192/540/conservative. It must not lower the GPU speeds, as the graphics appear to draw just as fast when underclocked as it does when overclocked. Where I do notice a difference is when I'm tethering - lower CPU speeds usually results in noticeably lower throughput to tethered devices.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
LOL, I can't imagine doing all this BS to get a little better battery life.

[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I use mine for an alarm every morning, but I leave it in 4g and turn the screen off. It uses virtually no battery at all overnight and has never failed to go off as set since day one.

Agreed. Mine only drops 1 or 2% overnight if I forget to plug it in. As long as the screen is off, the Rezound practically lasts a week. Its the damn screen that actually kills it so fast!
