Better screen(gnex has screen burn in). -(opinion; I like the GN screen better)

Removable storage -(I've never had to remove my sd from any of my previous phones)

Better reception -(possibly, but I never drop calls and I always have a signal)

Doesn't drop data connection like gnex -(My GN has NEVER dropped data)

Better camera by far front and back -(both cameras are comparable)

Taken with my Nexus

Beats audio with matching ear buds. -(lol)

Better hardware. T.I Omap CPU is crap -(another opinion)

Soon to have s-off so aosp is near -(pure speculation)

I do own both phones. I like both and I'm not bashing the Rez, but I still prefer my GN. The main thing I hate on my Rezound (besides the obvious gripes) is the pink softkeys. It's embarrassing lol.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Rezound is unequivocally the better phone. Stock Android is unequivocally the better UI. Take your pick I guess. The screen and camera are dealbreakers for me with the Nexus. That camera is embarrassing for a flagship phone.
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
The screen factor isn't a matter of opinion, the rezound hands down has the better screen, same exact resolution, higher pixel density... it's proven. All other factors are pretty much a matter of opinion though, 5mp v 8mp, Snapdragon S3 v TI OMAP, screen size, etc. It's all personal preference. Personally I'd take both of them, but I'm happy with my rezound for now. Really wouldn't mind the One X or the SGS3 though.

And if we'd have seen both of these phones drop with ICS on them outta the box, just one with AOSP and one with Sense 3.6, the game woulda been different from the start.

Personally I think Samsung and HTC need to work together on the next Nexus phone, HTC design, Samsung internals, Google software. Call it the Google Nexus Galaxy One.
[HTC Rezound] phyba:
I have to agree the camera is horrible and to even say they are comparable is silly. The gnex takes ok pics in good lighting. Rezoubd takes good pics in most conditions. Not great but a lot better than the gnex.
[HTC Rezound] davwman:
I like the opinions, but dont want this turning into a war. Both are nice in my opinion. Keep the thoughts coming guys, thanks!

[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
? No one's turning this into a war, and there isn't much more to say. Rezound specs are better, stuck with Sense. Nexus has vanilla android and pretty good specs. Pick your phone. There isn't a "better" in this case, just which you like more. We've kind of exhausted the range of opinions.
[HTC Rezound] davwman:
Id like to hear moreopinions of overall real world feel of the phone and more thoughts on battery life. Also where does s-off stand?

[HTC Rezound] swbf2lord:
Hope you get to liking the Rezound lol. I'm reading the thread but holding off from actually commenting on the points brought up.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
The latest rumor is the S-OFF people are now testing on the last phone model. The guess is S-OFF will be released within one week.

But, nobody really knows with any level of confidence.
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
As far as battery life vs the nexus, a lot of my buddies with them, both GSM and CDMA, have said that the battery life I've seen on the rezound on either battery, is better than what they see. But then again, I don't have LTE here so I'm always on 3g or WiFi. So that also has a big effect on the differences.

Real world I can't really tell cuz I've only played with the nexus in the store... But from my use with this phone, it's been incredibly fast, I can only imagine what the S4 Krait will hold. Hopefully we'll see something other than the new Inc with it.

And afaik s-off among other things, allows us to change radios. Plus allows us to pretty much RUU anything we want, makes going from ICS to GB a lot easier.

Edit: I'm stoned and mis-read what you said about s-off, ignore that lil tid bit there.
[HTC Rezound] zwade01:
They both use different screen technologies, making that an opinion. It's like saying peanut butter cookies are better than chocolate chip because there's more sugar. Although there's more sugar, some still prefer the taste of chocolate chip better.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Terrible analogy is terrible
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Give me a break, that's not an opinion at all.

We have both phones where I work, the Rezound screen is miles better than a nexus side by side.......
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
Hey I'm just going off of reviews and facts, I'm not trying to bring out the cookie references... Both phones are great, but the fact is HTC's overall hardware in this case is a lil better. Doesn't mean we all still wouldn't consider owning them both if we don't already.

And like I've said in other threads, I'd personally love to see HTC and Samsung work together with Google on the next Nexus phone. Seeing HTC design/hardware, Samsung internals/chipsets, and Google software, would be the device to pick up.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
No kidding
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
I like the Nexus's overall look and feel better (opinion)

I like the overall hardware better in the Rezound.(opinion)

I use my camera a lot, and once you get use to it, the Rezound shoots far better pictures and in some conditions the photos come out stunning. We have hundreds of family photos from both phones to compare to on our cloud storage, and it's not much of a comparison especially at full size.

I like the screens on both phones, but I actually prefer the Nexus screen even though technically the Rezound is better on paper. I like the bigger screen although you can argue the extra real estate is taken up by menu keys most of the time. The Rezound has the clearer screen, but honestly, the difference between the two isn't important for me unless I hold the phones close to my face which I don't. My phone is at arms length normally.

Battery life; it's a toss up stock vs stock battery

When my son and I play Draw Something, we both have to throw our phones on the charger about the same time, although my Rezound battery has the higher percentage left, but my son also has a bunch of crap installed on his phone. We get about 2 1/2 -3 hours or so play time per charge. That game is a resource hog.

I like the software better on the Nexus and the fact that it has a huge community of users and developers. That community will most likely be alive for a very long time. The Rezound community is smaller. I get that we have S-Off coming, but our phone is already aged and even with S-Off our community isn't going to grow much larger. More people - more goodies.

I don't want to trade my Rezound or anything like that, I like the phone and it has it's strengths. I like having 5 different phones on my account. My daughter is sporting an Iphone 4s and she loves her girly phone (insult intended, it is a girl phone). I believe with all the phones in our household, it gives me a decent perspective of whats out there.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Gnex has a terrible camera. Pictures side by side on a 1080P monitor showed that immediately.

I had a gnex for a few days and returned it.

The screen was amazing IMHO. I just hated the radios. Places I'd have perfect reception on the rezound for LTE I couldn't get LTE to save my life on the gnex. It was like having my evo 4G with wimax again where I'd walk in a building and loose 4G.

Personally I would have kept the gnex if it wasn't for such terrrrrrrible radios.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
I can't really comment on reception since there is excellent coverage everywhere in my area. Both phones get a thumbs up from me.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I get about -89dBm to -92dBm in my bedroom on the rezound for connection quality. On the gnex I was at -115dbm to -120dBm which was close to where it would cut out 4G and go to 3G. Often trying to pull any kinda data over 4G would cause the signal to drop and I'd be at 3G.

This was over multiple days in the same place in my bedroom.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I own the Rez, when I went into VZW store, my intention was to buy the GNex as I had a SGS prior (loved that phone, sucks I lost it one night). But as I used the GNex in the store I became less impressed with it and started using the Rez on display next to it. It won me over. I think the screen is better. My opinion is it has the best screen available, even better than the iphone 4S. The GNex also seemed really big even though the screen is only 0.35" larger and it has no hardware buttons. The form factor of the Rez is just better to me. CPU to CPU, I think the GNex has a better CPU and it does win out in every single benchmark I've ever seen. I happen to really like the Sense widgets, although not a fan of sense overall, its a bloated resource hog. I never used the GNex camera so I cannot speak to that, but the Rez has a great one. One area I'm really disappointed in is the number of devs in here. Seems to be only about 4. They do really good work, but its just not a big range of choices. You have CleanRom, RezRom, Nils Rom, or Ineff. Thats basically it. Coming from the Captivate there were dozens and dozens of high quality roms to choose from. Maybe that spoiled me. Seems like I was flashing a new one every week, loved the available choices, lots of choices! And it was easy to flash. Coming to my first HTC phone I'm disappointed how complicated it is to flash and also the whole S-OFF thing pisses me off. I suppose that's my fault, I shouldve done better research prior to buying the Rez, if I had known then what I know now, I might not have bought it. But S-OFF does appear to be near. Whether its a week, two weeks, or another month, nobody knows, but it definitely is coming. All in all, I like my phone, dont love it though like I loved by Cappy.

One other thing, the hot pink buttons F'ing suck. Looks so d@mn gay! I tried the Leedroid tweaks and lowered the brightness and that helped a lot, but they're still pink, just not hot pink anymore. I'm going to change the LED's from white to red one of these days to officially fix that issue for good.
[HTC Rezound] wrarvoz:
I don't know about that. I came from a droid charge and all I can say is resolution isn't everything. Coming from the super amoled plus screen to the resound makes me want my charge back (if only the whole phone was as awesome as the screen)
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
Yes, we know samoled plus is a better screen technology, but as far as this goes, this screen is still lightyears better.

And I've owned plenty of devices with samoled's, the biggest thing I miss about not having one, is the fact that I can't use black backgrounds anymore, to help improve battery life even futher.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I won't disagree with that, my previous phone was a completely tricked out charge and the screen was awesome. My wife uses it now and I do get jealous of that screen at times..........
[HTC Rezound] aalopez10:
Trade u my used rezound 1 week old wit HTC extended battery n original box , perfect condition I have an extra rezound but wanna give a nexus a shot..
[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
Read all, here's my take:

Rezound had best screen if any current phone, on any carrier right now. Period. It's not pen-tile (boo!) like the gnex, better pix density than even the iphone. (gnex is lower than both) Movies are absolute butter on the rez. (gnex is ok there and better than most, but not as good rez)

I actually prefer a smaller screen. Still like high res, but if I wanted to put a giant monitor to my ear, I'd buy a gnote.:D

Lots can be said about older sense sucking, but IMHO it has always had camera software that's ahead of the curve. (In fact, it's the one reason I prefer sense/senseless over AOSP)

There are a number of devs, the ICS roms show great batt life. Sense 4 had reversed the trend of heavier skins...

Smaller, but slightly heavier than the gnex. As noted by another, the form fits my hand better.

Next to the screen, biggest flaw to me in the gnex is no sd card. That is fail.

Just my 2-bits.

[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
I use to have the rezound wen it first came out..at first i was waiting for the gnex but it took too long to come out and i saw the rezound on amazon for 1cent so i got it. Had it for about almost 4 months n decided to give the rezound to my wife and got me a gnex and now ive had it for a month (and dont get me wrong it is a beautiful deivice HARDWARE wise)and decided to get my rezound back and TRADE/sell the gnex and get my wife wat she wanted.

POST HERE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1609116

Reason WHY (IMO)

The Rezound screen BLOWS gnexs out of the water NO doubt about it.

The camera qulity is way batter on the Rezound and trust me ive taken hundreds of

Pictures with both of them side by side i rather have qulity over quantity.

The battery is almost even but my rezound does last an hour longer.

Sd card slot is a plus for me.

And my rezound is a lot snappyer then my gnex.

The only thing i like about the gnex has to be the HARDWARE.

Its a BEAUTIFUL device and theres my dev goin on it.
[HTC Rezound] jomama123:
Like everyone has already stated the screen is much better then the Gnex. The Camera on the Gnex is ok but The Rezound is Amazing at taking pictures and watching movies and not to mention smaller but a wee bit thicker. I guess it comes down to personal preference do you like HTC's UI or the "pure" feel Google envisioned Android in the first place.

(im in the same dillema right now as I have both phones)

To reply to this comment:

I think it totally is a matter of opinion. The Rezound is 4.3" and has a SHARPER display, albeit the colors (black in particular) are not better than galaxy nexus. I use my phone as a desk clock for when i go to bed at night. I like being able to look over and see what time it is by just glancing at my phone. In dark rooms, the low brightness blacks are absolutely worse on the rezound and more like a dull grey than the true black that the nexus kicks out. For normal use, yes I agree that the rezound screen is better because of the pixel density. But when you turn on a video or watch youtube, that extra real estate and colors on the galaxy nexus gives it the edge over the rezound. In either condition, you should be happy with either phones. I dont think this should be a deciding factor between the phones.

The biggest question is if you want any sense roms. Nexus is the king for ROMS and has a lot of them, but lets be honest there's really only a few. AOKP based, AOSP based, and MIUI (and the first two are pretty much the same thing). Sure theres 30 different roms out, but they are all the same thing when you boot them. However, if you enjoy the sense flavor (and an in progress AOSP section) then the rezound would be for you.

Battery life so far is neck and neck. I honestly expected more out of the extended battery, but it still lasted me all day in a concrete building going in and out of it for 18 hours.

+1 good break down

Sent for my maxxed out razr
[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
Black, yes. All colors? Not quite. Everything has a green-ish tint to it on the gnex. Result of the pen-tile screen. Color in general is more accurate on rez. However black IS better on the gnex, loads better. For movies, you trade off better shadows for better skin tone. (just an example)

Legitimately, it is a subtle diff. Normally may not notice the color tint unless put next to another screen. Black is certainly easier to spot. For me I notice both, so I'll take overall color accuracy over black. Others may want the better black...
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
My Nexus doesn't have a greenish tint period. I know there's the possibility of a slight blue tint to preserve the life of the blue pixel (Which you never notice in videos/games etc). The Rezound's colors for a LCD are still a bit off imo. They are overly washed out, even my old T-bolts colors were richer. Not saying it's bad, just could be better imo. There are trade offs for both the displays. If you want fairly natural looking colors hit up the rez. If you want pure blacks and saturated colors hit up the Nex.
[HTC Rezound] sojrner:
Isn't the end there ultimately what I said?... "Color in general is more accurate on rez. However black IS better on the gnex, loads better. For movies, you trade off better shadows for better skin tone. (just an example)"

I realize I said green tint instead of blue elsewhere. My bad, I don't have one sitting next to me and I've seen other Samsung phones that were green. Memory just recalled the wrong color. My point still stands though and you apparently agree.

It is a subjective trade-off that must really be seen to judge for most ppl. I'm only countering false statements that the gnex is more accurate. It's not. "Saturated" and higher contrast for sure, but not more accurate. Now if you still like the gnex better, that's cool, more power to ya.

Rock on.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Some of the screens do have green tint, others have pink, purple the QC of the Nexus display is a disaster. I do agree with you and thus that's why I made the post :D. But just wanted to throw the point in there that not all Nexi have green tinted screens. Yes I could of made the response more simplified, but where's the fun in that?

Hi guys.Sry if i post wrong.I have a problem.I have a HTC DESIRE stock rom 2.3.3 rooted.The phone is S-OFF.So i wanted to unroot.The gingerbread ruu is installing but the phone is stil S-OFF.How can i get to froyo 2.2 stock rom?

I did understand that i need the stock bootloader then flash the stock 2.2 ruu.But i cant find this stock bootloader.

I am very very sorry.I done it.I got the s-on back.

If you want to unroot you need to do this.

1.Download from alpharev.nl the Bravo Stock(PB99IMG_stock - easy to install;only remove to PB99IMG and get in bootloader - volume down + power button) and the Bravo Downgrader (the PB99IMG_downgrade thing;you need to to the same to it.

You will get HBOOT 6.93.9999(i dont remember;it is the 9999 thing in the end) and S-OFF

2.Now download a stock RUU (android 2.3.3 in my case) and install it

3.Get in bootloader and you will now see 1.02.0001(in my case) and the hboot will be S-ON

I think you can install any RUU like 2.2.

Remember that sometimes(if the RUU is old) you will need to create a goldcard

Sorry for poor english,tutorial and the links(i am new here).This tutorial is not mine.All credits goes to "bortak".

Gameloft hits again, this time by ruining Dungeon Hunter series. While DH2 was one of the most awesome gmes I played on my phone, DH3 is a failure, a disater I could say.

Comparing the two games you get this:

DH2:

- epic, interesting story and quests

- awesome items, mobs, locations

- awesome abilities

- awesome class selection and possibilities

- many more

DH3:

Gameloft presents you the sequel of one of our best games, Dungeon Hunter. We now offer unlimited possibilities of classes - only 4. We also offer a new, far more interesting story - A fighter's life in an arena! That's right, forget about quests, characters and locations and get straight to the main point - fighting infinite mobs!

We got rid of the skilling system and reworked the leveling system. Instead of just plain leveling, you can now share this important event on Facebook so everyone will know that you're forever alone! But that's not all, remember how you were finding the items in chests, from mobs or buying them from vendors? That was stupid, so now, in DH3, you must wait REAL TIME minutes or hours to get your items ready.

So why wait? Play now the most awesome sequel ever made, for free!

Unfortunately I didn't play DH1, but from what I saw it's as interesting as the 2nd. So what is your opinion about Gameloft ruining this sequel?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
DH3 totally blows. I hate it. DH2 was awesome. WTH GL..... I played it for about 10 minutes and fell asleep... no joke. GL just seems to be screwing up major as of late. Botched controls in Splinter Cell, game glitch in MC3, MC2, Shadow Guardian.

All in all... GL sucks anyway. No one like their Wapshop (i call it CrapShop) and use the Market so we can get refunds to their buggy sucky games. I have a real bone to pick with them. I have made posts on their forums and get told if I dont edit my post I will get my account banned.. all sorts of BS. You buy from GL you get grabbed by the Ball$... rant done or I could go forever
[Streak 5 General] Mysticales:
[Guide] You CAN unlock your Streak 5 after "network locked" (10 failed pin tries)

Great news everyone. I can 100% CONFIRM this works as I just did it on my Streak 5. The streak 5 I have was "network locked" meaning someone tried to put the code in 10 times and perm locking it to AT&T. (Normally carriers cant do anything and yea, go ahead try to go though dell or send it in...)

Anyways I used http://www.unlockstreak.com/ It costs 29$ for a registration code to unlock, using their software. (Which is the software you find all over google)

Now here is the trick. Once you get your code, You would put the code in like this: REGCODE,unblock

its IMPORTANT the ,unblock part is all lowercase! Then run the unlock phone option. You will go into fastboot mode as instructed, it will run through. (If you get a Java error or server error, turn off your AV or Firewall. I had to "pause" kaspersky to do mine)

It should come back saying its unlocked. Now let the DS5 reboot, then run the unlocker again WITHOUT the ,unblock in the regcode. It should send the image and say "waiting for reboot" However.. your PC may gripe saying "unrecognized usb device" Dont fret, just cancel the thing, then pull the battery out, pop in your sim card, boot up. It should be unlocked now fully. =) I know my T-Mobile sim is working in mine now. So this is 100% confirmed working by me. =)

So leaves us the community a question.. it seems to "unblock" the attempts for a network unlock code is a fastboot flash image file.. doesnt touch the rom any or so that you do. Would be cool if a dev could look into that, seems this program all it does is send an image file that resets the code attempts, reads the code and also applies it for a user. So makes me wonder.. if you already know the code from dell or so, should be a way to fastboot send that info yourself without having to pay 29$

Anyways still worth 29$ to actually manage to unlock it after it was permanent blocked to the network.

If this helps you, please consider using the alt link here

http://curebit.com/x/5fTsB (Which will give YOU 3$ off and me 3$ back heh) Seems however they only do this offer for 1 day per order. So I ask if you DO order, post a reply with a new link to allow other members of XDA to enjoy the discount and help make it cheaper for everyone. =)
[Streak 5 General] dr.Mobile:
Is it work with code purchase fro another site or only with code purchased from unlockstreak?
[Streak 5 General] Mysticales:
Not sure, I mean it might work with another site and you can always try in the app since the app itself is free. However I think their app since it goes by registration code to utilize the program...
