[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Ouch, Big Time Bummer, I always try to keep one old around just in case something like that happens. Do you still have your old Dinc to get you buy for a couple of weeks? Sometime in August Big Red is rolling out some new phones with good spec's.

I still have my old Dinc and it works like new. I can always next day fed ex it to you, to get you out of a bind.

I would buy a cheap crappy pre paid phone to get me through a few weeks to a month before I wasted a Verizon Discount on what they have now.

Just give me the word and Im on my way to the fed ex depot for you.

One last Addition,

Here are Verzions up and coming phones with release dates on most of them, and most of them are this month

[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I had no choice but get something due to work so I got a Galaxy s4 which I can return if something comes up fast. On the other hand it takes a little getting use to but not bad so far. And has ROM support

Sad part is I just gave away my Dinc and another physically damaged Rezound that worked. Timing is everything
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Now I need to rethink my theory on the S4

It is a nice phone, it has tons of XDA support.

Are you going to keep this for your and develop a rom for it?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
May keep it not sure yet. And yes, already looking in the s4 forum.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
You will have to let us know what you really think of the phone after a few days of use. Battery life is supposedly great as well as the screen.

You have a large following and Im sure everyone will want to your thoughts.

So did you give up your unlimited data or did you pay full price to keep it?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
First impression: Basically like it but needs a rom to get rid of VZW crap and get better e-mail and other things. Size is not too bad.

Gonna root tonight and clean up.

Need a couple of days for battery.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Just in case you wind up looking for something else within your return period,

Here is a side by side comparison of the moto x droid maxx, droid ultra from Verizon and all due out around the 23rd of this month

[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
[MENTION=250867]hitch[/MENTION], thanks for all the links, many options makes me happy!

[MENTION=316983]nils[/MENTION], l am looking forward to your review of the S4. It's my leading candidate at this point...
[HTC Rezound] jagrave:
I agree
[HTC Rezound] punman:
The funny part when I got mine, it felt smaller than the Rezound. I mean, it's obviously got a bigger screen, but it's very thin (and I still feel like I'm going to drop it because of slippery back, but you can get a replacement for that.)

I don't mind Touchwiz as much as I thought I would.

OMG battery life. I plug in when I get home from work. Unplug when it's done charging. I don't have to plug it back in until I get back from work the next day.

VZW bloat bugs me but not enough yet to go custom. Might root and freeze the crap with Titanium soon.

One issue: when receiving multiple near-simultaneous text messages (from work, server outages) the phone rebooted after 25-30 in a row. I think it might have been the widget I was using on the lock screen though, because it was a 3rd party app, and seemed to be having issues keeping up with notifications. I changed it back to the stock clock and it seems ok now.

I play a lot of Ingress and I don't have to charge my phone every hour any more. To me, that is worth it. Plus, the only "flagship" phone out with a replaceable battery. There was really no contest when I decided.
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
Had to switch to Sprint due to Verizon reception issues in the house/area that I just moved to (sucked because I was legacy unlimited). It was too hard to pass up the buy one get one on the S4, so I went that route. So far, I am impressed. Had it rooted and custom recovery installed the day I got it home. I am still getting used to the device and the Samsung way of doing things, but in all it is a great phone. It is fast, is a good manageable size (even with an Otterbox) and it looks fantastic. I have not installed any custom ROMs yet (have had it a week). Just freezing to debloat for now.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I got the phone at 3PM and rooted it at 7PM

Then I proceeded to add host block for ads, removed Exchange security pin requirement (even though I do lock it), froze a bunch of stuff wit TI and a few other odds and ends..

Now since the dumb*** tech took the OTA before I could stop him I have to wait to get the bootloader unlocked
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Well thats a huge bummer, hopefully the wait wont be long
[HTC Rezound] pmania:
I can see it now. Nils BusinessWiz.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Nothing like a good Wiz in the morning
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Let us know if you get something together for the S4. I'll look for you over on the S4 forum as well. Are you on Verizon?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yup Verizon
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I followed Nils from the dinc to the rezound, now I can say Nils followed me to the S4. :highfive:
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Cool. Now you develop and I will test :D
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
LMAO,

Nice One,

Not dis'n on you punman, I just found that really funny ;)

Well how about that, This is my 1000 post. I bet 800 of them are in all of Nil's rom topics :)
[HTC Rezound] Spyke562:
Camera FC

Anyone else getting camera FC's when trying to take a picture?

I have installed this ROM 3 or 4 times now, because it the best one I have found ;), and every time it works for awhile then starts up again. I am wiping all the usual stuff like 3 or 4 times.

Also when sending a txt I cant attach a picture from the camera, i need to take it then attach.

The camera open but when i press the button nothing happens and then FC.

What can I do to fix.

Thanks...
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Go into camera options and turn off Face Detection, That should cure the FC on the camera.

Not sure about the text issue
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The txt was something we lost with the custom camera
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Ha ...

With VZW removing the One from HTCDev, I need to keep my Rezound, but 3.6 is just too busted at this point with Google Services incompatibilities so I came here ... just to see that Nils is off the Rezound. Sigh.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
JD, I'm on Global Stock Blue 2.0 with the stock kernel right now. Ran Snuzzo's excellent kernels until the mid 3.x's and found that frequency settings weren't sticking (then ran v.2.3 for a long time until recently). I am similarly frosted about what Big Red made HTC do regarding bootloader unlock, and have sworn I won't purchase any phone until bootloader unlock and root are available (frankly, would probably wait for S-OFF but that's not as critical).

I may go back to the other kernels, but having some calling issues, and until I rule out that I just need a new SIM card, will stick closer to stock.

Hadn't heard that Nils had moved onto another handset, but it's about time for all of us, isn't it? Got my Rezound 11/15/12 and have been qualified for a new handset since last month. There's just nothing out there calling to me --- not even the One.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
HG

HG - Do you mean kc6wke's Global OTA Blue? I installed this ROM, but am having some fairly horrific video issues with the Amazon App Store.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
A few days ago I flashed Hacknest's [Rom][5/4/2013]EclipticRez-Revamped[ODEX]

The rom is based off of Nil's rom.

Everything seems to be working well.

There are multiple kernels packaged with the rom. I am currently using the Lunar+ kernel

Here is the link to the rom if you are interested - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962230
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Yes, version 2. Have had zero issues, nor with the Amazon appstore. BTW, the poster immediately above mentions Hawknest's Ecliptic Rez which is also a very good ROM with lots of customization features in it. My only reason for not using it is that it is pre-Global release (but post Global leak).
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
OK

Will look into that blue. Got even more video corruption here when going into the weather to change to farenheit. At that point, I restored my May nanadroid back to v3.6. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Don't be looking for the default weather apps/widgets to behave properly on the Rezound. Not even stock global official OTA weather works correctly. I've been using other apps for that (and I am admittedly a bit of a weather junkie). I have used Accuweather, SkyinMotion, Eye in the Sky (very attractive widgets) and even my local TV channel's app, all of which are more reliable, utilitarian and accurate than the built in weather "stuff" in the ROM.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Video

I wasn't looking for them to work perfectly, but when the Amazon App Store had horrible video corruption issues, and then the weather app had horrible video corruption issues, I decided perhaps this was not for me.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Sorry to hijack my own thread but just thought you might be interested in what can be done with the Galaxy S4 even without an unlocked bootloader. Yeah, I didn't know I was accepting a phone with the latest OTA that was locked until it was too late.

Nice tool like Xposed, ThemeEngine, and Wanam for Xposed

Look familiar

By the way, I have not abandoned the Rezound just not much to do right now with this basically running well and others doing the new stuff.
[HTC Rezound] mcdanielvzw:
Haha, wow you are an HTC fan for sure. That is awesome!

2.06 S-off
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I guess you still mean business.....makes sense......
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
HTC for sure fo a long time. only reason I got the s4 was because there were no decent HTC's available and I needed a phone bad after giving away half my other phones
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Looks Good Nil's, HTC clock and all.

Starbucks baby, love it

Im wondering when I get a S4 if it will already come with the update installed you are saying not to take
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Look at the box before they remove it and if it is me7 tell them to keep trying until you get an mdk
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
So youre not gonna get the htc one then? Or maybe eventually?
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
The gods smiled upon me & I got the mdk version. Also, thanks to you I was able to get out of the store without it being updated! Rooted last night and running a new Rom. Thanks Nils!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Congrats. I am working on an exchange right now
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Good Luck, hope it works out...
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Worry free brand new replacement on it's way. Store would not exchange since I was past 14 days.

Now to pray it is not upgraded to the OTA and I am good to go.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I'll throw a prayer out there too!
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Indeed, I have noticed that if I am not completely still (impossible for me), the picture quality suffers. I feel that a dev can probably make it a ton better as the hardware itself is pretty good.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I think my Rez is starting to die.

The bad part is my contract is not up until January.

I went to my local V store and I spoke with customer service on the phone. Both said I am basically SOL. If the phone does die they wont give me any early upgrade, I would need to buy a phone at full retail price.

Im Sooooo pissed with Big Red right I could spit fire
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
This happened to me. The VZW store manager gave approval to move my contract date up if I bought a bunch of accessories along with the phone. So I did and they did. You might want to talk with the manager there and not VZW customer service.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
The store manager is the one the told me I was SOL

Maybe I will try another store, I even told him that I would be willing to give up my unlimited data and go with the Max Data program and That I was interested in the S4 and the flip cover or the otterbox. Im not sure what I will do if going to another store doesnt work,
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Well he's not very nice.:mad:
[HTC Rezound] butcherbird:
Just curious, what is failing?
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
The touch screen is starting not to respond in certain areas
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
That's what mine started doing. I replaced the touch screen only to have the MOBO give out about 1-2 months later...:(
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
My wifes is starting to do that...Glad I didn't sell my old one because she isn't due for an upgrade til March...Have you tried running an RUU to get see if it's software related? That's what I thought I would try with hers if it gets worse...She wants my One of course, well actually the Mini. It would be nice if that showed up on Verizon, she has such tiny hands...
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I'd say don't waste your time with the RUU as it didn't work for me, but feel free to give it a shot. Every phone is different. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
True, they do seem to be...And I assume it is a hardware issue, but figure I would turn over every stone before I sprung for a new phone for her, or gave her my old one (which my son inherited and will not want to part with!)
[HTC Rezound] Tired of the Bull:
Keep us updated if it helps...I have the same problem.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
will do...
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Well today I finally bit the bullet and worked out a deal with Big Red,

My wife NEVER uses any data and We were paying $30/month for data with here Droid Charge Smart phone

So here is the deal, not sure about the word deal, maybe more like what I wound up doing to resolve my issue ;)

I had a LG vx8350 basic phone in mint condition, turn that phone back on for my wife

I went to the Loyalty program, unlimited call, text and 2 gigs data

I then took my wife's early upgrade and got the Samsung S4

My old plan:

700 shared voice minutes for both us us to share.

no texting

unlimited data for me

4 gig data for the wife

Total monthly cost before taxes $130.00

My new plan:

Wife on basic phone plane with 500 minutes and unlimited texting, no data

I have unlimited voice, unlimited texting and 2 gigs data a month

Total monthly cost before taxes $95.00

Now that my wife is on a basic phone which is all she wanted, yes that was her idea, I used her upgrade to get my phone, my upgrade will be available in January, so basically now I will have a phone upgrade available to me every year. I used the wife's this year and I can us mine next year, repeat.

If her phone dies I will just go buy another basic phone online at full retail, they are cheap enough.

The Wife took the bullet for us more then I did by giving in to my unlimited data, My highest data usage for one month over the last year was only about 1 gig so its not like I took advantage of the unlimited data plan I had.

Needless to say, the Wife deserves a nice night out and or a nice gift for what she did for the team.

The Samsung will take some time to get use to since the last 4 years has been all HTC, Things are a lot different but so far so good.

Thanks to everyone that might have helped me out over the years in Nil's HTC Topic's and I hope I have helped others out along the way as well.

I will still be subscribed to this thread, So I will continue to help anyone out in need if I can.

Now to keep my fingures crossed to see a Nil's Business Wiz Rom :good:
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Did you hear whether he got the mdk version? For that matter, did you? I felt bad about trading mine in, but I really didn't like the phone... I am loving the One though. Hope you get to run Biz Wiz!

Sent from the One phone to rule them all!
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I got a ME7, but from a quick look at unlocking/rooting the S4, you can do it on a ME7 phone, its the same process as the MDK its just you need to DL a different zip, the rest of the steps are all the same

O and I forgot to mention they gave me $40 as trade in value for my Rez. It was not doing me any good, So the trade cash offset the upgrade charge plus $10 to the good
[HTC Rezound] tjamscad:
Not bad for an old Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Thats pretty good for a Htc phone, I sure dont miss the Htc battery life, Im on my first ever Samsung S4 and the battery life is so much better

Touch wiz isntbad either
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Gotta say that I didn't notice that much of a difference between the One & the S4... Obviously, the S4 did better but I am getting 18 hours out of the One pretty regularly... Unless my son plays Angry Birds!

Still going, I love nils roms

[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Cant ***** about that ;)
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
Hey Nils,

I was looking to come back to this ROM yesterday, but it won't finish flashing the package from TWRP 2.5. In Aroma, it gets to "removing old system" then says finished. When I try to reboot TWRP says, "No OS, Continue?" (or something to that effect). I checked the md5 (match), and also clean flashed. I'm not sure what I'm missing.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Sounds like something with Twrp.

I never used Twrp so I can say for sure.
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
Yeah, I made the jump from Amon Ra about 4 months ago, and I've had quite a few problems since then. I might have to re-flash AR and give it a shot.
[HTC Rezound] highdro:
Try the latest TWRP or CWM touch if you don't want to use Amon RA. Sometimes TWRP has issues flashing sense ROMs if they don't have an updated script but CWM doesn't have these issues in my experiences anyway.
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
I believe that the last time Nils updated this ROM, it was compatible with the version of TWRP I'm using. I'll have to try another recovery it seems. Thanks for the info. :good:

Edit: Flashed AR 3.16 and the ROM installed fine.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It is amazing how many people are still downloading this ROM.

And yes, if something breaks and I can fix it I will.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
You had the best Rom for the Rez.

People must still be using the Rez or getting one really cheap now that the new breeds are out
[HTC Rezound] butcherbird:
It's a solid ROM.

I'd still love to have an updated Google Now, if it ever became available.

Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
Yeah, stuck with a contract till January and getting tired of crack flashing. Had to rely on something that I knew was solid enough for everything I need on a daily basis. So... Here I am.

Edit: It's worth mentioning that this was the first ROM that I ever flashed, so things come full circle.
[HTC Rezound] mcdanielvzw:
Nils had the best ROMs ever. I'm still stock with the DNA, waiting for 4.2.2 w/ sense 5 to come out and be ported stock.

Hi Nils and Friends:

I have Nils Business v2.11 installed in my Rezound...it's a nice ROM but I have a big problem...the Settings/Call menu is not working and I have problems with the cellular numbers...001XXXXXXXXXX...in other words, I can't access the Assisted Dailing Menu to unable.

What do you recommend me yo fix this problem?

Thanks,

TecMan
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Sounds like something got corrupt.

Try booting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik. If that does not help dry a dirty install (no wipe) and all else fails a fresh install.
[HTC Rezound] TecMan45:
Hi Nils:

Thanks for your reply...I tried to fix the Settings/Call Menu with 3 different ROMs and I have the same result, this Menu is not working, it's inaccessible. Let me give you my attempts:

1. booting into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik...same result, not Call Menu

2. flash CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezound; flash Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense4.0-v2.10, Bootloader and eliminate PH98IMG, flash Business_Sense_S4.0_v2.11-Update...same result, not Call Menu

3. flash CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezound; flash CONROMv6FINAL; Bootloader and eliminate PH98IMG...same result, not Call Menu

4. flash CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezound; flash CleanROM GBE 1.7.5; Bootloader and eliminate PH98IMG...same result, not Call Menu

As you said, something is corrupted but I can't fix it...

What do you recommend me to fix this problem?

Thanks

TecMan
[HTC Rezound] Dancershrink:
Not sure without looking it up but I believe GBE on CleanRom means it is based on Gingerbread so won't work with ICS roms. What is the reason for eliminating PH98IMG instead of running the included kernel?
[HTC Rezound] TecMan45:
Hi Nils:

I just want to inform you that my Rezound with your Business v2.11 is working fine...I don't know what happen...but after the last flash...and the Call Menu was not working...suddenly, with the next reboot, appeared the Call Menu...just need to re-flash again, because I didn't install your adfree blocker...into the ROM flashing process

Anyway, Thanks for your help

TecMan
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
you should be able to just flash add block in aroma without the need to flash the rom, just uncheck everything you dont need to flash again
[HTC Rezound] TecMan45:
Hi Hitch:

Thanks for your reply...let me clarify the flash procedure with you:

1. Factory Reset, 2-times wipe cache, and 2-times wipe dalvik

2. Install it using "Choose Zip From SD" Card option (Version 2.11 - OTA Update Only)

3. Choose options in Aroma Installer (adfree on)

4. S-ON ROM option will reboot to bootoader to install of kernel. In Aroma

5. Boot - and enjoy

Is it correct?

Thanks

TecMan
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Yes that is correct IF you want a fresh flash of everything. you will have to set everything up again including all your apps

If you want to just flash ad free Dont factory reset, wipe of cache and d cache is ok

Choose zip from sd

only choose the ad free option aroma

S-on (if you are)

Flash and enjoy
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I should have the link fixed for 2.10 later today.

Host has rebuilt servers and not everything got back up.

If anyone has a link for 2.10 please post

UPDATE: Link fixed in post 1
[HTC Rezound] Kertys:
Was running CM 10.3 before but flashed back to latest RUU because I didn't want to deal with any extra questions at the the Verizon store today (malfunctioning touchscreen).

I guess I'm super late to the game, but this seems really interesting. No root required before install? (S-OFF)
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
You are S-OFF... nothing special is required but working Aroma-capable recovery (TWRP/CWM/Amon Ra). Just flash recovery of choice, wipe, and flash ROM and you should be good to go.

You may want to explore other ROMs for the Rezound as well, the ROM world has changed, a lot, since this came out. NilsP's ROMs are amazing, but there is a lot of other stuff out there too.
[HTC Rezound] Kertys:
Will do. Thanks for the response!
