jesus. what an insane story. i never had to send phones back man lol..i bought a used eris from my friend for 20 bucks in may 2010...had it until july 29th when my backordered incredible came...i coudlnt' stand how slow and crappy the eris was (and that was my FIRST smartphone! haha) so on like july 1st i ordered my inc and it took a month to get..that was during the great AMOLED shortage of 2010..thankfully i got an AMOLED version still....then i had the inc from july 29th of 2010 until november 14th or wahtever the release was for the rezound of 2011...so i had the inc for a little over a year, but i followed the rezounds hype from the beginning, so i was super pumped and excited to use an upgrade to get it. sometimes i miss my inc, but i still have it and play with it, so its all good :cool:
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Yeah I really miss my inc sometimes too I might just buy one cause theyre only like $70 now

I was also very interested in the "vigor" from when it first leaked but when the galaxy nexus was announced I wanted that but it kept getting "delayed" so I saw the deal on the rezound and I was like screw it
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah i never wanted the nexus. didn't like it from the get go and all teh hype just pissed me off...besides, nexus fanboys were as bad as apple fanboys at the time, so they would cry left and rgiht and try to argue with anyone about how their phone was "better."
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Well especially after I saw the camera and ultra bad build quality and radios I was glad to have gotten the rezound
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I had a incredible(amoled) too. I have had a bunch of android phones... the only ones I still have is the fascinate, Droid x2, rezzy, HP touch pad and a nook color somewhere...
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
somewhere? how do you lose TECHNOLOGY! lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
No. My little sister has it in her room somewhere lol.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Oh facebook the only thing it's good for is trolling.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lol fernando might say the same thing about xda ;)
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yep thats the pic. mine wasn't nearly as bad, but i saw it. it reminded me of the awful nexus screen wtih the bad banding that when you scrolled would stay stationary..thats what that blue dot did obviously, so it me, was very noticable.

talking wtih HTC now, he sent me a link to try a youtube video that flashes 239848923 colors to see if it unsticks the pixels...god i hope this works. he's gonna call me in a bit when the hihger ups authorized him on what he can do to work wtih me on this.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Those things just made mine worse. I had like 3 dead pixels and after I had about 8.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
OH GOOD.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah those dead/stuck pixel fixers generally don't do ****. Have you tried calling big red and see if they'll help you out?

Gotta love that added sense of security :thumbup:

[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
nah because i don't want a refurb. i'm talking with HTC about it, and like i said, he's gonna gimmie a call when he hears from his higher ups what steps we can take.

last resort is getting a refurb. my boss said he is gonna order 1 DNA for me so i can swap it out, so i'l try that..but the power button on this one is nice, and LED on the flash is acutally a different color from the last one (it's warmer, more natural light than the bright blue the other DNA was..) so i really liuke this one except this damn pixel..i'm so mad.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea HTC keep digging that grave. I can't wait to see what this X Phone is and the Note 3
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
note 3 lol i don't need a 6.5 inch phone.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
The bigger the better as long as it's done right... Which HTC doesn't seem to do at all anymore. I haven't bought a tablet either because none are up to snuff. Note 3 should fill in for both lol. Unless the X phone is amazing.

Edit: is there anything else to look forward too for Verizon? I wouldn't mind a nexus but I'm going to need much more than 8 or 16 gigs of memory and a much larger or removable battery.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lol your htc hate makes me lol.

these are stupid things that shouldn't happen, yes, but it's just like the gnex. great phone, with stupid display flaws. does that make me say i'll never buy samsung ever again? no. and no, 6.5 inches done ANY way is NOT better. these phones are too damn big and it's getting ridiculous.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
im with you on that. i think its time to try a different company. HTC has had some problems lately. if they cant work it out in the next year or so im going to try samsung. i LOVE HTC because of the hardware is awesome and the new sense 4.+ is epic, but im tired of the problems that i have received, rezound 2 had a dead audio port on top, rezound 3 has the screen lifting issue.

i know each company will have their set backs, but the "certified like new" phones are a joke, or at least the people that are doing the Q/A for them. but their customer service has always been pleasant to deal with, ear bud's replaced twice and phone replaced 3 times with out any hassle to me.
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I really wish Verizon offered something like the HOX+. I would never ask for anything more.

The screen size and dimensions are just what I want, not too big and not too small, and it's got that bright screen, the insane amount of onboard storage to make up for a lack of SD, and native Sense 4 JB.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
:p it's not hate it's tough love. I don't want to see HTC fail but seeing the situation they have brought themselves to it makes me a little more sad every time I see an issue that should have never been there. These stupid things are excusable until it starts to destroy the company lol. All of these things could have been fixed with proper testing instead of rushing a high end phone every 3 months to try and beat the next best thing.

Plus Samsung is better with updates now and the note 2 just makes me drool with all the features. We'll see, if the note 3 is 6.5 inches I may not like it, HTC might get it together on this M7 and sense 5 (if vzw gets it) the GS4 might not have an ugly display and signal problems... Motorola has always been meh to me but their droid line is has gotten nice.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You must be unlucky with phones man. My current Nexus has a flawless display no banding and perfect hues.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah i got mine used. it was a launch model i believe. yellow tint, terrible banding...when on a gray screen the screen looks like a weave pattern. lol i can't even use that thing cuz it's so terrible to look at.
[HTC Rezound] zounduser:
I love my dna bro! And i think 5" is the sweet spot. It is perfect! Wont b upgrading again for a while.

If the dna had 64gb of storage. I think I would of shut up and just got the phone.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
I have super bad luck with any technology especially phones. Why do I like something that hates me so much?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i usually never have problems man..thats why this sucks even more.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
My mom is a (insert bad word of choice here).

And with the Latest drivers YouTube is even laggy. Major tearing.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
That's more likely an Adobe Flash problem.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
I always have problems too. It took me 2 days to install a head unit and 2 door speakers in my truck.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
guess what?

anotehr dead pixel popped up. right in the middle of the screen. and this is a big ol nasty white one.

i give up. maybe i hsould just return this phone and get all my money back and stick with my broken GS3.
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I just finished a really intense match of TF2.

2fort as usual, but I played as medic and we often got into really chaotic fights where I supported heavies, demomen, and pyros. I got a ton of points and broke my record for most healing and invulns.

We lost the match, but it was really close (2-3 final score, and we were carrying their intel at that moment, too). I got top score on my team by a huge margin as well.

We really should play TF2 together sometime.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Maybe that package from HTC was to buy your affection for HTC phones? :P
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
eh my phone worked perfectly before that package. maybe i'll just live with this stupid blue dot. it's not as bad as in that pic. i have until the 15th to do something else.
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
That really sucks man.

[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeh. got my diztronics case today. think im just gonna keep the phone, idk. its hardly noticeable and i refuse to do warranty replacements since i dealt with dead pixels first hand......i don't want to have to keep sending them back bc of that.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
So, I lost power earlier today and it abruptly shut my computer down. Now it grinds really loud when powering up, and it wont boot. I think the magnetic needle drug across the HDD and corrupted some of it when it shut down. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Sounds like my computer this morning.

Got halfway through the boootlogo and bluescreen.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Mine didn't even make it to Grub. It booted once, but was making that wretched sound, so I properly shut down hoping that it'd go away on a reboot. Now it won't boot at all.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

Crisis averted. Booted to Ubuntu and it said there was a whole bunch of errors, asked if I wanted them fixed. It rebooted once and its all good. Terrified the hell out of me though.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
weird, i lost power this morning too....lol
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
So I think that I decided im gonna fix my gs3 finally. I was considering returning the DNA for a gs3 but it doesn't really make much sense to. I think I'll just get my charge port fixed and keep the DNA...I wonder how much it costs to send it to Samsung for repairs?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Did everyone abandon ICS? I really want a ROM that's rock solid and preferably not broken like the ROM I'm running now.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Are those rumors about a new HTC flagship coming in like q2 2013 credible? I think I'll get either that or the gs4, whenever that comes out.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
It has only just been made available to build again tonight after over a month or so of being borked.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Pay $500 + to live with a defective phone? That's not the jayrayochs I know!
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'm wondering what Samsung will be showing with Exynos being that qualcomm has made these supposedly super efficient/spec chips for this year.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Whatever they show it'll be a on a device that doesn't have blue dots appearing on the screen :good:. Main attraction of device = screen and has faulty screen yay HTC!

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Dude if you can't get a solid DNA just return it. $500 + to have a blue dot and dead pixel(s)?? Contact Samsung about the GS3 repairs and use your Nexus/Rezound till it gets fixed and profit. All the reviews I read about the DNA say the phone still lags even w/ the pro underneath the hood and seem to criticize Sense 4+. Return your DNA spend some cash and repair your GS 3 flash CM 10.1 on that bad boy and buy something better when it comes out.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I'd consider replacing the HDD when you can. That happened to me a few years ago and the drive lasted about 3 more months before it died completely. That was the incident that made me swear by running a UPS at all times.

My offer is still open. :)

I'm playing Zelda ocarina of time. :P
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Love it

I like Majora's Mask too but it's much more frustrating to me... With the time crunch and all :p
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
That's my next adventure.

I have a texture pack for ocarina so everything looks beautiful.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Have you never played Majora's mask? It's more of a challenge for sure
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I'm almost 20, and I still rock pokemon on an emulator on my phone(and my DS).

That game... *eye twitch* so close to beating it.... time runs out... it's a recipe for clinical depression.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
HTC tends to do that lately... Have a major selling feature, then ruin the whole device. But has there been anything reviled about new Exynos processors yet?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Pokemon is the best! You can't say crap about it.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
#fact
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Pokemon was the first game I ever got into. Specifically Ruby which is still my all time favorite game.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I left the innocent pokemon out of it! Now we can all talk crap about you! j/k
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Mine was Pokémon Gold. I remember Espeon being the first lv 100 that I ever got. Back when I had the attention span to beat the elite four twenty times in a row without getting bored. I agree though, RSE was the best gen.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
red was my favorite till yellow came out. i think i stopped with the gb color or adv which ever came last because that was the last gameboy i owned. :(
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I had 150 hrs on emerald. I had a lvl100 of that rare green dragon thing and a lvl100 Salamance
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Rayquaza? Or Flygon? If it was Rayquaza then that doesn't count. You catch it at like.. lvl 75 :P And I had ~600 hours on Gold. It was like a crack addiction.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Rayquaza. Forgot how to spell it lol. Salamance I raised from its 1st evolution tho.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Catching Bagon was.... fun... lol

And the hardest part about catching Rayquaza was getting up the tower. Ugh. On an emulator with a touch screen its almost impossible. I had to do that part at like... 1/4th speed because of the slight input delay.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Dafuq are you supposed to do for 600 hours? The most I ever got was like 150... What do you do train all your Pokemon to level 100?

I usually get bored after I finish the main story line/elite 4.

Oh guys, check out the pokemon ruby destiny series by destinedjagold. By far the best hacks ever (except maybe light platinum)

You guys with your emeralds and rubies are making me feel old.

I have both the original red and blue cartridges that I got for my birthday when I was 8 or 9 years old. I primarily played red because all my friends had blue, so I could trade stuff they didn't have.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I was like.... 8 years old. And is it a complete hack? I hate it when they are only like... half done.

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Uh oh, we have a gen one-er! Lol I love gen one. That's then only reason I have a GBC emulator on my phone. It was so simple and elegant.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
The first one (reign of legends) is like all the towns from ruby with some extra ones and a different story line, but it was one of the first hacks to get popular so it isn't totally complete.

The second one (rescue rangers) is a mystery dungeon style game where you play as the pokemon but I have no clue how complete it is because I haven't finished the other ones all the way.

The third one (life of guardians) is fully complete. No elements of ruby left, great sprites, one of the best hacks I've ever played.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I'll have to check it out. I'm assuming it needs to be LIPS patched from a clean Ruby ROM?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Light platinum was sooooo good.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
so for anyone who cares about my situation, i think i know what i'm gonna do.

HTC has been great to me, and their support is amazing. i'm still going to support them in everything they do, and still sell the sheet out of their phones, but in the end, the DNA was just not for me. yeah, that screen was AMAZING (when my blue dot wasn't there..) and the signal was great, along with a GPS that locked instantly, and i loved listening to music on it because the beats sounded pretty nice through the beats headphones (and those only..all other headphones sounded like ass with beats lol) but in the end, i just weighed my pros and cons.

i refuse to live with that dot because everytime i powered the screen on, my eyes went RIGHT to it, no matter how faded it is, and i saw it..every single time. i tried to trick myself into thinking this was ok, and especially after swapping yesterday and getting one with dead pixels all over, this was NOT ok.

i've decided to return it, and i'm going to send both back to verizon as faulty products and the store will get two credits of $564, to which we'll buy two more DNA's most likely to sell to customers.

for myself, i'm going to buy a brand new GS3 that works this time. in the end, the GS3 had a much better camera, especially in low light, than the DNA. i tried to trick myself into thinking the DNA camera was better, but unfortunately, the compression was awful and low light images were so soft and ugly looking. when you played with it, you could get great shots, don't get me wrong.....yet no camera is as good as the Rezound with joe's HQ mod..even the GS3. my Rezound now currrently resides in wyoming with my older brother, so she's gone. All that's going to be left are two GS3's and a Nexus.

my boss offered me his old GS3 for the same price of 577, which was a blue 32 gig..but it's from launch day and he's used it since. (he got a DNA as well as I did, but after a week decided it was too big, and so was the GS3..so he got an Inc 4g on ebay rooted for 200 lol..he used his wifes inc 4g one day and was like wow, i need something smaller)

i don't think i want to get a used one..i want to do it right and get a brand new. besides, i'm just gonna buy a 64 gig SD card anyway.

and this time, i wanna try white. i think the white gs3's look so sick. the blue is cool too, but i've already had it, so i want white..white 16gb it is!

HTC rocks, and i still love their stuff, but this is the first time i ever had a problme with their phones....or any cell phone in general. and it sucks to have problems on two phones. so i give up at two. i'm gonna get my GS3 today, open it up, promptly install display checker to make sure no dead pixels, and then away we go!

tl;dr: returning DNA and going to get a brand new S3.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I have no complaints with my SIII other than the clarity of the screen, which is only a complaint because I was used to my Rezound. Other than that, I love it and I've had a better experience than I had with my Rez(still love it though.)
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Makes me feel old as hell. I was actually counting down until red and blue were released lol.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
I have Red and still play it to this day! First pokemon game I ever played.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
O.o the battery is still good in it?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
My first was blue lol. I remember when Ruby and Sapphire were the games to have at the time.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Were? Past tense?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lol imagine me coming from a DNA, then ;)

yeah the DNA screen is better, and i'm thinking i like SLCD a little better..but in the end, i really like the S3..and white is sick lol

I'll give you $100 and you can keep the board with the tittysweat port. I just need the digitizer and glass which happens to be bonded to the frame.

I love my s3 but I hate having to run paranoid android (not that there's anything wrong with that). I actually would love to run a stock based rom, but I need the damn nav bar. The build prop nav tweak sucks balls. I just want to run stock debloated and use capacitive soft keys.

When I got my sgs3 a few months ago it was used but perfectly functional and mint condition. I paid $325. $100 would help you offset the price of your new device AND you can keep everything except the screen-not that you'll need any of it with your new warranty.

Don't you want to hook a brother up?

By the way, white is definitely the way to go!

I'm also in love with the incipio cases. Slim, sturdy, and handsome.
