How is this thread still alive?

Ah man, looking back so much has happened since I met you guys.

I was just a freshman in high school, now I'm almost a sophomore in college.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Aww such young folk around here.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
How in the... Freshman in high school to sophomore in college in three years? Accelerated learning?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
What? No. :P

I got my rezound freshman year.

Or maybe it was sophomore, I don't remember. Too long ago.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
LIES
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
If you are a sophomore in college, you would have gotten the Rezound in your Junior year in high school. It came out late 2011 and early 2012. Three years ago bud ;) time flies when you get older eh? I remember 2012 like it was yesterday with all the "oh my god the world is ending" crap, lol.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I'm getting too old.

I'm only 19 but I am still too old.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Lol I wish i was 19 again.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i dont, very awkward times. But man, I will be 30 this year.....
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Its crazy how young people are on here I just turned 26.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I've seen some as young as 12.. (or say they are).

I believe XDA's member majority are teens and college aged.

[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Too funny. You guys making me feel old at 46. What a great community got attracted to the rezzy. Still fun to see what you are are up too. My wife and daughter are not even on the rez anymore much less me (Note 3).

As we say here in the south, ya'll are great people.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Making me feel younger :D (32)

Fly and Neo are South also (Alabama)
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Nice. Southern hospitality? ;)

Since this is off topic....all this talk of SELinux and carrier behavior have me nervous about the future. I really like Windows as a semi open platform and I always can do what I want even at the OS hook level. Linux even more even though I am not as versed. SE Linux and lack of ability to root and/or modify the /system partition has me bummed a bit about the future. I suppose I'll carefully choose that next phone in another year.

Oh, I'm in Virginia.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I was raised Windows so it's hard for me to like Linux lol. I only use it to build and that's it.. I stay away from it. I'm the point and click era.

I lived in Salem, VA (west-side) for about 6 years when I was younger. Loved the fall colors, hated the extreme cold but as a kid, loved the blizzards and time off school because of it :P. Humidity in the Summer was almost what it's like here in Mobile, AL. I miss things like the Dixie Caverns, or the Dixie trail, Blue Ridge Mountains, all the field trips to different presidential homes in the surrounding states.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
We just replaced our windows not that long ago. Makes the house a lot more efficient with the heat and air.

Oh wrong windows?? [emoji14] haha.

But either way windows and Linux both my favorite.

There a few caverns and rivers and better stuff up here than Mobile. Haha
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Yes, there is humidity around. Not like Norfolk though.

The Shenandoah Valley sure is beautiful though. I partial because I was raised here.

Lots of beautiful places around this great land. 2 wish I had more warmth year round lines the two of you. :D

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Chilling on my Nexus 6. Totally fine here.

I love HTC phones but I can't stand the locked bootloaders, crappy Cyanogenmod ports, and proprietary drivers/kernels.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
I wish I had the funds to. I hear and read this generation of phones coming out aren't that much of an upgrade from last gen though.

I love HTC support though. Never had an issue. When I had an issue with my Motorola Droid X2, CS was complete crap. I had button failure one day out of warranty... $150 to fix. I just cut my losses and did a $100 "lost phone" replacement.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
I love HTC phones too. I love Sense. Stay away from AOSP or CM!!! haha
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Sense is definitely the best of the skins but I still hate any skin.

AOSP is love. AOSP is life.

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Looks like I just killed my Rezound. :crying:

It overheated. I was tethering it and also playing a word game and then it died and was really hot. Can't get it to charge now. Charging up the extra battery I had on the wall charger...

I also have my other broken Rezound that I think was a software issue... I'm quite sure it was attempting to update to ICS when I was running a custom ROM (I know this isn't supposed to be possible, but I might have caused it by accident).

Is there any way I can combine my two phones to get a working one out of them if those are the reasons they aren't working?

What should I get to replace it? Can I do the sim card trick (I don't remember what it was... it's in this thread somewhere, I'm sure I have it bookmarked) so I can keep unlimited data?

I'm so sad. If it's dead, I really did murder it. :(

Went on Swappa and saw that Neo just sold his Rezound a few weeks ago. Just missed it!

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

IT'S ALIVE!!!

:D

Popped in the battery that I was charging on the wall charger and the light came on. Phew!

The best thing about it is that now Neo doesn't have to feel bad for selling his phone to someone else. ;)
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
the trick with keeping the unlimited is to buy the phone online and when it arrives.

DO NOT

activate the new sim, just replace it with your old sim and you're good to go.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Some places (like Best Buy) have recently patched that ability by forcing you to actually pick a rate plan prior to checkout now instead of "opting to keep existing data plan".

Off topic but is jelly bean as legit as everyone is saying?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Are you kidding me? The freaking incredible S is getting ICS which is definite proof that its not HTC we should hate about updates but actually Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
so Best Buy had an option "keep existing data plan" when you purchased the devices at a discount cost. Per NEO i guess they removed said option and force you to pick a new data plan.

This has been fixed for awhile now apparently.

Unlike some of our rezounds!

I went to a g2 for 2 years and recently grabbed a nexus 6 on the Google fi network.

Big red stole my unlimited data. The rep flat out lied to me and said my bill would be 60 dollars cheaper per month on a more everything plan. I wish I had recorded that call. My bill went up 10 bucks. Anyway, I'm taking all 4 of my lines away from these lying bastards.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
[MENTION=3742218]1heffer[/MENTION] mine went down by $30 by doing the move. I did it cause we just got WiFi access at work through employee demand.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Free work WiFi would be awesome.

Crazy stuff. I called them repeatedly afterwards and each time they said they "were able to apply a discount" and "your bill will decrease by 30". It never got lower until I started removing lines.

While I'm already ranting..... When you remove a line you still have to pay for a whole extra billing cycle. During this time you cannot make changes to your account. Currently I'm paying for 10 GB of data for 1 line that will use 1/2 GB.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
I still have unlimited data but its getting hard to keep. I may lose it the next upgrade.

Sent from my only One.
[HTC Rezound] Jaytronics:
I have to know how it gets hard to keep? Option 1. Keep current phone longer than two years. Assuming it does not die on you. Option 2. If said phone dies, purchase a used device from eBay or Craigslist. Option 3. If you do not have the money now, save up so that you can purchase a phone at full price. Any one who looses an unlimited data plan because of a slip up in trying to trick Verizon is foolish. Don't be a fool. This is assumingthatyou use a big amount of data.

I can not afford to be a fool. I range 20-80Gigs per month on just my line alone. The wife anywhere from 6-20Gigs. So, on a good month, we are looking at 100Gigs. And compared to some I have talked with. That is looow. Lol! If you don't want an STD. Don't have sex. Or, if you must, use a condom. If you dont want to lose Ulimited data, dont use an upgrade. [emoji6]
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
It gets hard when they lie to you about saving money. Also, sometimes that brand new device for next to $0 looks pretty sweet.
[HTC Rezound] Jaytronics:
Yeah, I can see that.

Sent from my SM-N910V
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I still have my Rezzy and unlimited, so can I keep unlimited as long as I buy my phone outright without using their upgrade offers? Do I have to do a sim card swap or something? Keep my sim and use it in the new phone?

Oh... and btw... when did they let you back in here??? :angel:
[HTC Rezound] Jaytronics:
To keep unlimited data. Like you said, purchase your phone outright. And if you go onto their website or mobile site to make any plan changes, make sure that you make zero mistakes. I almost screwed up last week. Would have felt like a spiked bat to the back of the head if I had screwed up and lost unlimited.

Sent from my SM-N910V
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
What kind of mistakes?
[HTC Rezound] Jaytronics:
There was what looked like an option to add unlimited talk time to my plan for $20 which would have been awesome. So I called Verizon to confirm before I hit the accept changes button. Which I almost did. The girl on the phone told me that it was apart of a more everything plan. And that it would have moved my data to the basic which is 500MB per month. She told me that would be a bad idea.

I think I would have lost it and slammed my head through the wall had that happened. For me, it would have been somewhat of a deviating blow. I use 30-80 per month roughly. And at this point in life. I can barely afford my current bill. Had I had to pay for a 20Gig per month plan, It wouldn't even be feasible. So, moral of the story is. Confirm everything.

Sent from my SM-N910V
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I just buy my phones outright. I am free to move around and in the end I actually save money over the typical 2 year contract.

I don't see any reason to subsidize phones anymore. If you really need the financing, talk to your credit card company or use PayPal's 12 month financing.
[HTC Rezound] z3pp3lin:
No more subsidized phones for VZW soon. Hopefully this won't be the end of unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
This isn't me being snarky or anything but how would this spell the end of unlimited? I pay full price for my phones anyway.
[HTC Rezound] z3pp3lin:
As far as I know, that (non subsidized) was the only thing keeping us grandfathered with unlimited data and we all know they want to get rid of it entirely. This just seems like another time they will try. I hope they don't.
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
Just don't change your plan and you should be fine.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
I think what he is implying is since there is no option for subsidized phones that if you change phones now they will force you in a new plan and maybe even contract to change the phone even if it is bought outright.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You have to buy the phone yourself and just use the same SIM card.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
If you guys haven't read this, they are going to be killing subsidized completely. See here (at least that's what I got out of it)

[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Welcome to the club (in 2 months)! T-Mobile is great. Also Nexus 6
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Does T-Mobile offer an unlimited plan by chance?

Neo

Senior Moderator
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Yes. Unlimited everything. No throttling, and they give you a certain amount of tethering data (5gigs per month? Maybe 7...) Coverage is actually pretty great too
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Dang... That's seriously something to consider.. What if your phone is unlocked and you're tethering using your primary data? Is that something they would catch onto? We all do it with Verizon and they don't care.

Sent from my HTC One M9
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Not totally sure... I don't really use tethering because my school has phenomenal wifi pretty much everywhere. From what I know, it's unlimited tethering with a 7GB limit on "high speed" tethering. There are ways to get around this, of course, but I don't know specifics on them. I do know that T-Mobile has been cracking down on people who "steal" tethering (Talking about like multiple terabytes per month) and sending them notices. However, as long as you stay at a reasonable amount, they don't care. I know people who use ~100GB per month and have never had problems.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You get like 7 GB of 4G data, and after that it forces you down to 3G.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I really may consider this.....

What about you Gray? Who are you with and what do they offer? Is it better than T-Mobile?
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Based on his previous post (Gray please correct me if I'm wrong), he's on Project Fi.

They use T-Mobile and Sprint towers and provide pay as you use data per month. There is no truly unlimited plan with them, so if you use a lot of LTE data, it's probably not the best choice. However, if you use WiFi most of the time, it's a great option. However, (This might be a drawback to some with small hands) you can only use the Nexus 6 on Project Fi. (This might change in a couple weeks when Google announces the new Nexi(?) devices)
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I have unlimited data with Verizon (both my and my wife's phones). However, where we live has little to no 3G signal even lol. So I can't really utilize it. Away from home, it's all WiFi.... What I'd like to be able to do is go with a network that has strong towers in my area that also provides unlimited that I could treat like I do Verizon (whip crack). Tether around 100gb per month or less (collectively between the two devices).
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Hmm ok yeah if you live in a rural/unpopulated area, T-Mobile might not have the best coverage. You can check their coverage map, but in my experience they tend to overestimate their service strength in some areas. I was told I'd have great LTE coverage at home, and I only really had 2 bars of HSPA, never LTE. I did put in a service request, and several months later, I was able to get 4 bars of LTE throughout my house.

They've also pledged to have all of their EDGE zones upgraded to LTE towers soon (End of 2015 I think?) and have been making good progress on that.

The only way to find out if it works for you is to try it. They offer a test drive program, which gives you 7 days free with the network. The only problem is they give you an iPhone :P. If you're looking to see how coverage is in your area, though, it's your best option. No commitments or anything.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Thanks bud! Verified 4G LTE.. Only wish big V could do the same.

EDIT: Just tried Verizon's.. They said the exact same thing <_<
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Cool! Take it with a grain of salt though haha. T-Mobile is a fantastic carrier in terms of features (Music streaming, inflight texting, JUMP, WiFi calling), but their coverage is a bit lacking. Getting better for sure, but still rough in some places. If you can get good coverage though, it's awesome
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
ProjectFi.

If you burn data it is not that great. But roaming on Sprint and T-mo is nice.

I would be on Tmo only but I need more than 100 minutes each month for $30. I can live with 1 GB of data for unlimited talk and text.

If tmo had unlimited talk and text with at least 1 GB of data for $30, I would be on there for the music streaming since I love Google Play Music.

having a panic attack at work.

My boss is trying to promote me to tester so i dont leave his department. ( not to sound to full of myself, but i am the best at what i do and he just wants free labor) Ive told him i want to get out but if they successfully promote me, i will be stuck for 1 year in that job for a min of 1 year due to our weird rules. I talked with the Q/A VP and told her how i felt of whats going on and she said she will talk to the CEO tomorrow. Now im waiting for H/R to get back to me on what the consider a "promotion" is. Like if i dont take the pay raise does that mean i never was promoted or do i sign something. idk. Its all frustrating.

wish i could have a stiff drink right now.
