Found this today, it looks like a way better deal then VZW has for the phones.

For $99 it looks like you get the same protection that VZW offers for about $70 cheaper ($6.99 x 24 months = $167.76) Plus the the deductible for a claim is only $59.00 (VZW $99)

Warranty even covers unlocked phone, no need to fake a stock phone to get a new one.

the only down side i see is the turn around time. 3-5 business days, with VZW its next day.

Your thoughts on this?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
look at my sig. protectcell is where it's at for warranty insurance. can only get it within 30 days of buying the phone, though.
[HTC Rezound] Tag798:
Completely agree... Protect cell has unlimited claims and replaces with new devices instead of refurbs.
[HTC Rezound] LTEvo:
Looked through their site. However, Didn't find any info on deductible?

Do you guys know how much protect cell deductible is?
[HTC Rezound] Tag798:
First $80, second+ $120
[HTC Rezound] maguilar3:
$0 at best buy
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Hey jayochs what if you buy a phone off of Ebay, will protectcell still cover it?
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
Currently running Clean Rom 1.4 Senseless and just did S-Off.

I bought a extended battery due to the awful battery life but still I am getting really bad overall life.

I am coming from an Incredible so I am use to good batt life but is it basically due to the screen and dual core processor? Kernel? Rom?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Software combos can make huge differences but, if you get bad battery life on an extended battery, its's either user related or you keep getting bad batteries.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
upgrade your firmware. its been said the newest firmware is showing better battery life then ones before.

you are s=off so what i would say is to run the latest leaked ruu.

if you arent to comfortable with it you can follow these steps:

1. back up rom, user data

2. back up internal storage (ruu will wipe it)

3. place latest ruu zip on the root of your external SD card.

4. flash it twice, first time will be super fast the second one will take the longest.

5. flash or fastboot your recovery of your choice back to the phone.

6. now this part is up to you, you can restore the rom you are currently on or flash it over and start fresh. ( for me when i restored i was having problems and random FC so i did a wipe and started fresh)
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
Hmm I'll probably do the firmware upgrade. Also does 4G LTE require more power from the phone than 3G?

Also yes I do stream a lot but I always have my screen off.
[HTC Rezound] swilbert80:
Yes, it uses a lot more power. You can save power by using wifi as much as possible.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Some programs that I've noticed seem to kill my battery faster even when not using the particular app:

- Words with Friends

- Winamp

- Task Killers

- Trillian

- Samba Filesharing (only when sharing is active though)

- Google Latitude (although battery drain on this service is much less than in it used to be in the past)

- Wifi Protector

I'm sure there are a few others I'll think of later..
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
yep 4g destroys battery. im working on making a task for tasker app that will turn on the ICS power save mode when screen is off.

the power save mode will kick in normally when the phone is below 20% i believe. but the options you have for said mode, you can turn off 4g and turn 1 core off. but this task is hard to do because i am no way a dev.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I personally find that awake battery life is decent, screen of battery is less than decent.

newest leak seems to be, awake (screen on) battery is terrible, screen off battery drain is nonexsistant ~ unless you are asking for it by having gps, autosync, or 4g on
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
One thing, I pay 30 bucks a month for data (just like the rest of you) and have a hard time sucking on WiFi because of poor battery life. I guess my point is why have 4G if you can't use it? If thats the case I might as well of stayed with Sprint. That said I think the 4G drain would really depend on how far the tower is from your location. Mine are pretty close. I have gone the other route and turned off WiFi and just live off 4G. I'll let you know how that goes..
[HTC Rezound] wrarvoz:
I actually got rid of my extended battery and went back to my stock one after I flashed the newest leak. It's that much better. I also use 4g all the time, no WiFi
[HTC Rezound] drt054:
I am on latest leak and battery life is decent with extended. Agree that with screen off battery drain is very slow. Battery even charges quickly even while tethering. It could always be better though.. with heavy use I can drain by battery in a 3 to 4 hours. And heavy is reading forums and articles using tapatalk 2, tweetdeck for twitter/fb, ESPN score center, maybe you tube but just the screen on and typing/touching the screen kills it.

Using leaked 3.14.605.. s-off and..

[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
I think it matters a great deal how strong your signal is. I only have 3G in my area and my signal at home is pretty weak. When I turn off wifi and just use 3G my battery drops like a rock.
[HTC Rezound] seattlecard:
The screen-on time is the main battery killer of the device.

I agree that overall the battery life on the Rezound has been relatively poor for me in comparison to other smartphones - regardless of what kernel I have been running.

Holding out hope that the upcoming official ICS release helps. Aside from that, I just placed an order for the beastly extended battery.

I like this device, but the battery life is just not very good.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
The screen is the number one killer (since it's high-def) followed by the 4G radio. After a normal day's usage my screen takes up anywhere from 75%+ of the battery life.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
They have this already. It's juice defender. Well not the core part but it does turn off 4g and wifi too.
[HTC Rezound] andrewp3481:
Cleanrom DE 1.4

Wish power setting was better detailed..I've used it quite a bit today. Very happy lately with battery

Always on 4g.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I have 7 extended Batts and don't think bad batteries is the problem. Phones just sucks battery when screen on unless you turn the brightness all the way down. Would rather swap batteries every 12 hours than dim the screen to the point of not being able to see it...
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
U should look at my post in the battery stats thread. I get pretty good battery life, pretty always have with android phones.
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
I guess I just have to stop streaming my fav show in the morning :( Bababooey.

Hopefully with the ICS release our devs can do something about this.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
it's mostly the kernel. can't manage frequency or governors without tampering perflock. can't undervolt. once we have a fully controllable devicevwe can save more power. just don't have too high expectations because I seriously doubt we can get double the juice with how much the display drains
[HTC Rezound] dabombcra:
I have three standard batteries and am on my second phone. I agree that it is not the batteries.

The voices in me head say I need a Cheese Burger
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
7 extended batteries?? damn! But I agree with you on the brightness thing, that's the reason why I got the extended battery in the first place.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
the sooner your eyes adjust to low lighting on the screen, the sooner your get better battery life :)

but even then the 720p just murders every concept of battery life, screen at bottomed brightness or not, which is what I do and it's still difficult to beat some other battery life results

with my X2, lowest brightness made a difference in the battery life, with the rezound, it's like it doesn't matter haha
[HTC Rezound] cstrife999:
I'm actually getting great life on standard battery... Sounds like you have some changes to make somewhere.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
well, when amazon had them for 3.50 a piece I stocked up... :)
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
when was this? I sure could use more now that outage season has started
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I havent used Juice Defender at all on my phone until now and it definitely does make a difference. With only the balanced profile enabled I'm at 71% with 7.5 hours of uptime, only 34 minutes of screen on time though.

It's damn near impossible to see the screen on a sunny day at anything less than about 90% but then again I'm a vampire and the sunlight burns lol
[HTC Rezound] marblesmike:
I also just installed the CleanRom 4.5 Pro version. At the bottom of the post he mentioned that another older kernel apparently has better battery life, but the ones he lists don't match the files he's uploaded.

Anyone have any idea about this?
[HTC Rezound] kain72:
This is typical for me, some days its less if I use it more but this is stock battery for me in a workday. And I use it pretty heavy on my lunch and breaks.
[HTC Rezound] carm01:
Wanted to add some more info about battery life.

i use CleanRom 4.5 with the gbe firmware fix applied

First off Words with Friends is a battery KILLER

If you set your email to check on time intervals will actually use more power than setting it to push i have found.

The apps defiantly will make a difference in your battery life.

I leave the brightness on auto.

I never use WiFi or even have it set to turn on unless its manually.

I have ALL the locations on all the time.

I have ALL of the weather syncs set to update most frequently

I DO NOT use back up and restore under privacy.

ALL mail stock & GMAIL are set to push

I sign out of YAHOO messenger when i am not using it ( nvr tried leaving it signed in )

Never sign out of Gtalk

attached is what i can get as far as battery life.

now everyone uses their phone differently so lets not stress out cuz i don't have a ton of screen on time in this shot. this particular day i was too busy to mess with my phone, and its nice to know i can achieve this kind of battery life.

Its nice to know if I go on a day hike or a long bicycle ride i will have excellent battery life in case of an emergency or whatever.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
That's all fine and dandy but you have absolutely no screen on time on that charge. Its really not that hard to get good standby time, go check out the battery stats thread.
[HTC Rezound] carm01:
There seems to be always someone crying about screen on time. As i said in the post we all use our phones differently
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Well screen on time is the only real way to measure battery.

If I used my phone like you did there I could get 3 days easy.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I tend to agree screen on time is the important measuring of battery.

[HTC Rezound] dogface3247:
I'm running HTC sense ver. 3.5 CleanRom GBE 1.6 and having really great battery life. Not running 4g unless i need it. But wifi all the time.
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
coming from the rezoound to the gnexus the battery life is night & day. much better on my samsung, plus they offer a slim 2100mah extended. what ticked me off is that htc doesn't offer that for the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
it was by overstock.com through amazon and it was the thunderbolt extended which is the same, only black instead of red. But they are sold out now.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i got 9 days out of my Evo View tablet!!!!!

wanna know my secret?

one hour of screen on time.

so yeah, screen on time IS important to this battery discussion. if your screen on time is less than an hour a day, then you are a very very low power user, meaning yeah, you'll easily get a day out of that battery. now try getting a full day out of it on stock battery pushing 2.5-3 hours screen on time...i guarentee you'll see that time cut in half, and then some.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
I'm pushing 2hrs and I'm only at 50%
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I get about 3 hours of screen time at the most.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i had that yesterday. that's no biggie. keep using the phone though, and it'll easily drop really quickly once that screen turns on. it's as if the rezound and maybe all HTC phones has battery stats that need to catch up to you...basically it seems like, the phone gets great battery life idling, but the second you power it on and start using it, you'll drop % like crazy.
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
Hello guys I've cm7 and it's very good

But all the gestures which we had in the official rom disappeared why it was very fantastic do we have any options for gestures thnx guys.
[LG Optimus Black] Antonnzr:
Gesture UI is a part of the stock LG roms, Cyanogen is a custom rom so it doesnt have it.
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
So that means we will not be able to use this one??!!
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
No, sorry
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
Thnx all

but cm7 is better than stock rom so no problems I only hop cm7 to be better than stock one in every thing only

thnx all again

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrathx:
I had purchased a micro USB adapter from Amazon a few weeks back (this one - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023FTRUO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00), and supposedly it works as an OTG adapter. I was excited when it finally arrived, but once I plugged it into the Kindle, two different issues:

It seems that the adapter doesn't fit snugly into the port, it is quite loose;

The Kindle may not even recognize the connection.

I tried plugging the adapter into my phone, and it fit perfectly and was recognized. Does anyone have suggestions on resolving this? I would hate to have to order another one and wait a few more weeks.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_m128:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altitude909:
OTG adapters will only work if they are connected to a powered USB hub, straight out of the kindle nothing will work since its only putting out 3.3V and USB devices need 5V.

I got my xbox controller working just fine using a OTG cable and hub but there are still some issues with USB storage, I could get the KF to see the drive but it would not mount.

Unless someone magically finds a radio that uses less memory and allows for more "free ram" (lay man terms and take the 2.22.27.08 radio for HTC Dream/Sapphire as an example which gained 14mb for system use), there really isn't much you can do other than remapping kernel memory banks available for camera/graphics/etc..

For example check this app: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-sleeping-screen
