As long as you maintain insurance on that line, you can use verizon for any issues.

[HTC Rezound] bluetooth_decay:
Agreed. They're just not going to subsidize your evil open hacker phone :)
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Mine just came in today and I was planning on selling it BNIB, but I had to open it up and try it out. The thing is definitely nice as hell and sleek. It's snappy as ****, too. I haven't experienced any lag on it. I'm faced with a pretty big dilemma of which phone I want to keep right now.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
This phone is so far ahead of the Rezound, it's not even funny. The hardware is incredible. Pretty easy choice, IMHO.

(and CM9 is booting!)
[HTC Rezound] -XIV-:
I can tell the difference.

After having the Rezound, the pentile is so obvious (to me).

Our screen made us spoiled that I'm never getting no Pentile crap.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Is it out yet? Or has this been from the irc. I am getting the phone tomorrow and trying to stay outta the irc to keep from getting to jelly. Lol.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Oh it's definitely not as sharp. But I'm not sure it's a problem.

IRC.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Wait a tick! The bootloader's been unlocked for Verizon? I've been so immersed in the phone I haven't even checked yet!
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
No, not unlocked yet, but it has been rooted and you can install recovery. CM9 is booting w/stock kernel.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Awesome! I'm rooting it right now and trying out invisblek's ROM right now. The battery life is ridiculous on this. I had 1 hour and 43 minutes screen on time and at 63% battery life.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Invisiblek stripped out a hell of a lot on that ROM, I'm just running stock rooted. And I can't get over the battery life either. My phone's been on for 17 hours, 2 hours screen time, 20 minutes talking on the phone, a ****ton of downloading in the background, three hours of podcasts.

And I'm at 40 percent. Crazy.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I like it nice and stripped. ;) Anyways how's CM9 running on it? The S4 is beastly plus the 2GB RAM virtually eliminates any lag. It's awesome.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Haven't tried it yet. Too tired to deal with anything going wrong tonight.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
There's a huge thread about this over at AndroidCentral.

The numbers the GS3 and the Rezound are providing you are NOT the same numbers. They are in no way comparable--they're reporting different things.

Use the app found here-- http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25921-this-is-why-your-verizon-nexus-signal-sucks/ to give you an accurate comparison.

My experience using the more accurate app is the GS3 is about -2 to -4 dBm worse than the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
while the numbers may not be comparable. the fact that I cannot make a phone call at my house, or get a 4g signal to save my life, while the rezound chugs away with 4 bars of 4g, serving my house with wifi via tether speaks volumes about what the numbers mean.

you may say that the numbers are different (both phones are running 4.0.4) but the numbers seem to reflect exactly what I am seeing.

I did not post a simple "omg the numbers suck!" I only looked at the numbers AFTER noticing that I was not able to get 4g and experiencing multiple call drops.

Edit

And I have been reading that post at Android central. like most people saying, real world use is what is important. If you would like.. disregard the numbers in my post, and simply read about my experience. i am posting this using my rezound as the tether, as the S3 cannot get a signal
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Fair enough
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
I am reading through that link about signal str meanings. I am a EECS student, and I can follow that pretty well. Makes more sense now. I will post some screen shots of the rezound and the gs3 with that app in a few min. Maybe I have a dud phone.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
I stopped reading that at the start. he claims that the ics leaks on the other phones will report it correctly... false. other phones still show better signal than the nexus. again, I don't run 4g. it sucks here. I run only 3g, and the signal on the rezound KILLS the nexus. so everything he wrote, waste of time reading. it's 100% fact that these Samsung radios are utter **** compared to HTC and moto
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Heh, well, I'm not so you probably undersand this stuff better than me! Sorry if it seemed like I was jumping on you, I wasn't. Your writeup was excellent. Curious to see your results with the other program. I've noticed calls take a long time to connect occasionally, but other than that, I haven't had any radio problems.
[HTC Rezound] JustSomeDude:
Thanks a lot for your comparison to the Rezound. Just for sh**s and giggles, next time you get a chance, can you pull your battery and sim for 2 minutes, then put them back and then see if that improves your signal?

(I know, I know, that sounds dumb and shouldn't do anything, but I've now read three posts on three different forums that say Verizon told them to do this, and it seriously helped, so I'm curious).
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Got the phone late yesterday & flashed the rooted stock VZ ROM on the first boot.

I then installed CWM recovery with ADB & the debloated the ROM with Titanium BU.

I immediately installed a crystal clear screen saver & the Rock Quicksand case (which is awesome).

I can say right now that the stock battery is not going to cut it for me, the way I use my phone just tears up battery life & I always used either the VZ 2750 battery or the Mugen 4000 battery on my Rezounds & easily made it thru a day of heavy use.

I work at a secure facility & cannot stream audio etc from my computer so I use iheart radio or sirius online a lot during the day at work. I got to work this morning around 8 with a fully charged batt on the S3 & then listened to iheart until 10:30. AT 11:00 I am at under 60% battery listening to PowerAmp. I will either order a few spare batts & an external charger or one of the extended batts available.

The phone is super fast, I use Apex Launcher & custom icons. Apex always gave me a bit of lag with my Rezound, there is absolutely zero lag with the S3.

I like the Pentile screen far more then I expected to. I have always hated most other screens compared to the awesome Rezound screen (looking at my sons RAZR MAXX makes me want to punch a baby & the BIONICS where I work look awful to me). The screen is definitely not as razor sharp as my Rez side by side, but HD movies look awesome on it & text in the Kindle app looks fine so I am happy with it.

I cannot get a 4G connection at all where I work with the S3, but my Rez was in 3G 90% of the time there also so I am not really sure how much difference the radio will make to me.

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I cant believe you didnt like the Captivate. I had one for 2.5 years and I pretty much loved it. The GPS was a little messed up, but once I loaded the proper ROMs and adjusted the settings in the LBStest menus, it worked pretty good. I really loved the ease in which you could flash from one rom to another and how many different roms were out for it.

To be honest, I havent found that the GPS on this rezound is much better. While standing still under a clear sky, my position in Google Maps bounces all around my yard and my neighbor's yard. The display on the rezound is better by far and I think one of the best I've ever seen on a phone. And I do not like that the rezound forum is basically on life support. it's also much more complicated to flash roms. You have to know which Hboot you have, which radios you have, which firmware you are running, etc.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
thank you, veeeeeery nice review. I couldn't ask for anything better. since you have use a ton 4G phones your review is very credible. I can only compare my rezound to the droid charge and the radio difference is huge.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Have you tried turning wifi on? That locks for mine almost instantly

ReZound
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Same here. For the most part everything is faster even my 4G. I've been hitting numbers that I never did on my Rezound. However, the reach of grabbing that 4G signal seems to be shorter. I work on the border of the network and had no problems on my Rezound but have yet to get 4G on my GS3 at my desk.

I was also planning on hating this phone but I've yet to find a reason not to love it other than the lack of 4G in my office. If I drive 100 yards down the road though, I get it no problem though. Guess I'll have to get a new job;)
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Lack of signal at work is why I dropped sprint.

Well 4G signal.

ReZound
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Ugh, Sprint is the worst. Just terrible.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Well I just found something that sucks on this phone. You can't see sh!t in direct sunlight.
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
Not my point its not officialy supported by cm unlike the other variants verizons is always left behind
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
It will be. We have CM developers in our IRC everyday working on this.

Also this phone ia disgustingly fast. I go to do certain tasks that i would set my rezound down and wait on and this phone has them done before i can attempt to set It down.

Also We have and OC kernel. Not needed but just wow....
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
It's on their github so in due time..
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Did you flash the unnoficial one?
[HTC Rezound] bluetooth_decay:
This may be true for the devs, as they have to build and test different versions of their ROMs (well, they don't _have_ to, but most do as a service to the community). But honestly, once I got S-off and flashed the latest RUU it has been a non-issue for me. I already know what versions of everything I'm running, so I look for the software that matches. Having S-off obviates the need for any special recovery tricks to flash kernels and whatnot.

I also didn't feel rooting and getting S-off on the Rez was all that much harder than doing it on my Dinc or my g/f's Nexus 1.

These are of course opinions and not meant to be hard arguments. To each their own.

The Rez is a good phone, and aside from my CM withdrawal (I ran it on my Dinc), I like it. But I usually like to have some kind of backup phone anyway. I'll see how the GS3 fares, and what the next crop of Nexus phones looks like, and pick up a second phone when the time is right. If that phone is better than the Rez, I'll relegate the Rez to a backup role.
[HTC Rezound] :
Funny how people with GS3s come here..I guess the rezound is that good.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Many of us went from the rezound to the sgsiii and Like me still own the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I too have both phones and will always love the Rezound ......... However I will no longer be a blind faithful to HTC. I almost want to thank Verizon for forcing me to get the GS3 and opening my eyes to what else is out there. No 5 minute restarts or sense lags, this thing moves! I still think I like sense better in theory but I don't miss the loading times after leaving a app. And the build quality is actually pretty damn good.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Did either of you flash invisiblek's unnofficial cm9 builds?
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
No. Where are they posted? I am down to flash just didnt know they were available.
[HTC Rezound] :
Don't forget which device this section belongs to. I used to own a DX but that gives me no reason to brag about a newer device.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:

Reports say data doesn't work yet. Still fixing ril.... *cough* just like the rezzy *cough* ;)
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I am at work now i will flash this when i get home.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Yeah but the sgsiii will have offical support from cyanogenmod at aome point. Something the rezound hasnt had. Plus we have cm devs woeking on it.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Yeah I was jking, I know it'll have more support then the rez.
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
I have the rezound and the new EVO. No lag on that. I think its more the s4 chip then anything
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
I never had those problems on either of my Rezounds on any sense version.

Sent from my Sense 4 ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I've had lag on the inc, the tbolt, and the rezound. Must be me. I still like sense better as I said but this thing pauses for nothing!

GS3 Baby!!!
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I got lag on the rezound. None here though. And holy shdhfh check this out.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
damn. I'm getting like 16 hours on the nexus but only around 2 to 3 hours screen on. nice battery in that bad boy huh
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
It really is. That was also after having flashed CM9 and restore back, so I dk how much battery I lost doing that.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
No one here cares. Shoo carebear shoo.
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
That's not accurate. There is no way xda would take that much battery. And over your screen? Its off. I'm sure the s3 is a great phone but I get no lag on my new evo. Same s4 chip in both phones
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
I'm trying to bid on an sg3 right now. If all goes well, I'll be a happy new owner of a Samsung device.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Good luck meng. You will not be dissapointed. ;)
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
It is being talked about like crazy in the sgsiii forums as the XDA comes off like a power hog and a half. For most people it is at the top of that list.

Theory right now is that because we have so much frigging ram free the phone is letting the xda run constantly. If I had clicked that xda app it had been showing like 3 hours of CPU time. 1.2gb of ram free at boot is crazy. I used to think 500mb was a lot.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I've already made it a habit to go in to the task manager and shut programs down.

GS3 Baby!!!
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
BLAHHHHHHH TASK MANAGERS!! don't use them. They're the devil.....
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Let me clarify by saying the internal one. Hold the home button down and you'll be surprised how many things are running in the background. That's why XDA is hogging all the juice.

GS3 Baby!!!
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Ahh sorry for freaking out,., all the vzw csr tell me to use them and they do more harm then help :

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chosaint:
If your like me, and you can't afford any of the little gizmos that let you plug a USB into your Prime, or you don't want to root it or do anything complicated like that, you just want to play Shadowgun THD with a gosh darn controller...well if thats you, then I got some good news for you.

Do you have a Best Buy near you? If so go in, bring your pad, bring your SONY MADE PS3 controller (I hear it needs to be the actual one from Sony, can't be a Madcatz or any third party brand), and the USB cable, ask where the dock is, or find it yourself, hook up your pad, and plug it all in.

You just need to turn on your Primes Bluetooth, and plug it in the dock, then plug in the USB and hold the PS button, and BOOM, your good to go. I literally just did this.

If you don't have a Best Buy near you, try Staples, Office Depot, Radioshack, Target, Walmart, find a place that has the dock on display. Chances are they dont care. If they do, ask for the manager, or just go to a different store.

I hope this helped out all my fellow Tablet Gamers, have a great day! :cool: :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
Hello all!

I have a problem with the galaxy Gio of my wife. I discussed this issue on a dutch android forum but we didn't find the solution, so I want to try it on xda.

The problem:

The phone is extremely slow after unlocking (not all the time but randomly). It costs about 30(?) seconds to call someone, when typing a message the letters from the first word appear when she is typing the 4th word etc.

When I wait for a while then everything works fine. Its only the first minute (?) after unlocking.

The phone:

Everything is original (launcher, Rom etc) except the simlock, that is removed. Android version is 2.2.6, phone is 3months old.

What did I already tried:

Factory reset

Place all apps (there are just a few apps, I think 10) on internal memory

Formatted sdcard

Install fast reboot to reboot on every unlock, but that was really bad.

Kill all tasks every half hour by advanced taskkiller

Now before using the phone my wife clicks on "kill al apps" from "advanced task killer" and then it works fine.

I have a Gio myself also and works much faster then my wife's Gio. But I rooted, have no space left on internal memory , have a costum launcher and also simlock removed. So it would be more logical when my Gio is slower...

Who can help us please? Cause my wife wants to throw the phone through the window :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
It exists always, but not as long. All you can do is overclock wife's phone and change rom. Then it should exist shorter and rarely ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
I don't think overclocking will help.that much. If I overclock the cpu with 10% (that will be the maximum I think) then will it take 27seconds to call someone instead of 30seconds.... If you need the emergency number it will be far to late ;)

I have never had that problem on my Gio, it's much faster then my wife's.

It is absolute not normal, is there something I can check?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Jyrx:
You should try and take it to service. They might fix it for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
It's software problem. They would just change the rom from stock to stock... In my opinion, change her rom to CM7 for expample, and overclock CPU. It might help
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
I don't think they will repair it for free, because I removed the simlock. And it will costs weeks before I receive the phone back :(

Why is it a softwareproblem when I go back to factorysettings? When everthing is original everyone should have the problem I think?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
No...

Believe me, you cant fix this yourself
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
But you think there would be no problem for service because of removing simlock?

Is there no other Gio known with the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
They might not even see that..

Just dont tell them
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
But what WHEN they see? I have to pay?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
you shouldn't tell them you did this yourself, cuz then they will think thats the reason..

just dont tell anything about it.

if they need to repair the motherboard they wont see a sim unlock
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
Oké, thanks remco. I bought it online @kijkshop so I need to figure out how to give it for service. Direct to Samsung or to kijkshop.

Has anyone experience what time they need to repair? (because my wife needs her phone)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Hmm..

You can go to the "kijkshop" but they arent really specialists on this, so they might even give your bricked phone back without sending it to samsung..

But its the shop were you bought it, so...

Cant you see samsung service centers on samsung.com ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
I'll have to look. But I think I must bring it to kijkshop because I bought it there :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bdasmith:
I would agree that this is a hardware issue and the phone needs to be replaced or serviced.

did you buy the phone outright, or was it with a phone plan?

if bought with a phone plan (never heard of the shop your talking about) then it should be replaced no problem...

just don't mention the sim unlock....will most likely not ever be noticed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Majkio:
If indeed you have a 2.2.x. You might want to update.

Install the PC software Kies and update to the latest

Do not lose your warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B@Zzz...:
I bought the phone without a plan.

Kijkshop is a dutch company of stores and can be translated as "lookshop". All products in the store are behind windows. You can look at the products and write down the productnumber on a card and give it to the man behind the desk. He will pick it up from behind the store. They sell almost everything you want. But there are working only 1or 2 people behind the desk (but don't ask them for product information ;) )

The phone is updated by kies.

Now my wife don't wants to bring it back to service because she can't mis her phone (or exactly facebook on her phone ;) )
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Ladies and Gents, I present to you; offical VLC Nightlies.

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-v7-neon/

Now, I'm sure some of you already knew this was there. But as of the latest build, it will play 720p files with full DTS support! Make sure Hardware Acceleration is turned on and go to town! Plays flawlessly. 1080p doesn't appear to work, but I'm also installing something right now so I may be hitting the IO barrier of SIO. I'll report back about 1080p after it finishes. If it works then I'm going to uninstall everything else except Super Video (I like popup videos).

There's also a build for Tegra 2, which I haven't tried to see if it works better on our Tegra 3 chips.

EDIT:

1080p is not currently working as far as I can tell. It almost does.
