[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I don't miss my Rezound one bit. Not one single bit. Screw HTC and their ****ty battery life.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i got 16.5 hours yesterday with 4 hours screen on time on the S3..my graph was like, a perfect downward slope..none of those crazy stupid spikes and curves like the rezound lol...it was so awesome.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, never again with an HTC phone. The grass is greener, and CM10 is sick.

Also, lol, who is this Harold guy? He's hilarious.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
You never accept ota's. That's like rule numero uno for hacking your phone. Also, if you unlock, you would run a stock rom so that's no issue. Also, I'd rom the gs3 the minute I get it. I would want cm10 as opposed to touch suck on ics lol
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Does it have anything to do with you not getting 4g? If I could get something like that with 4g...eff this Rezound lol.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
this whole time i had LTE on...and by me, LTE signal isn't strong, so if anything, my radios are working harder to pull LTE.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Same type of life for me. I got 3:30 the other day with Pandora streaming over LTE in the background for about an hour and a half. And the phone had been on for 16 hours.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yep, that's about what I'm getting too. HTC phones are a huge failboat. The Rezound was my third HTC phone, and my last. Done.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The att one x gets amazing battery life too. All S4 based phones should do well. Non LCD will also improve it further.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yep. But it's also non-removable battery and storage, and totally besides the point because HTC couldn't get its phone on the biggest network in the country. Not to mention the radio problems that the One X has had dwarf whatever problems the GS3 has had.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah i like the gs3..i just think it's kinda big. i'd prefer between rezound and nexus size for now. that being siad, i'd still kill to own a One X. i love that phone
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
That's what I worry about. I text with one hand.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
The GS3 (just like the GS, the Galaxy nexus, the GS2 on Sprint) has AWFUL:

Reception (poor antennas, despite the S4 -- compared to HTC, who usually uses the entire back of the phone as an antenna)

GPS antenna (takes a long time to get locks, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GALAXY S phone. Wake the hell up, Samsung. No one wants garbage like this. It's 2012. Grow up).

These things alone leave me to say No. I spent way too much time with a Galaxy S (years), as well as working on others (my company got 19 android phones, many of them Galaxy S), galaxy S II's (my friend's on Sprint), GNEX's (like my gf's), and GS3's (like a few of my friends got right away, just to find out about the locked bootloader -- though that is now fixed).

ALL OF THEM get poor reception compared to the old school HTC Eris, and certainly my Rezound. ALL of them get poor GPS antenna reception compared to my HTC phones.

Waste of time. Waste of phone.

4g is hard enough to get. Why make it harder with your pathetic atennas, Samsung? Not to mention, you can't even figure out where you should go (on the map) to GET good 4g service because the GPS antenna is trash! Failing!

Buy HTC. It's a better product, in my experience, for those reasons.

I like Rezound > Inc 4g. I therefore still see the Rezound as the best phone on Verizon.

That makes Rezound, as I convince people, the best phone available on the best network. Rezound ftw, for me.
[HTC Rezound] Jasonhunterx:
The keyboard is at the bottom of the screen texting with one hand should be nothing

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

My nexus does not have signal issues and plus it is plastic which further improves the signal strength so poor reception nah I think your just a fan boy feeding your head with good thoughts
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Have you seen the reports of bad signal with Samsung phones.

And texting with one hand is more about my hands not being huge. Gs2 irritated me with texting
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I have the GNex, and I can assure you its not as good in the reception department as the Rezound. I don't have horrible reception like people say but its definitely not as good as the rezound.

HTC's whole back door as the antenna design, while annoying, is actually a functional design, and that is why all of HTC's phones have such good radios

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
The antenna ends up being almost on the outside of the phone, much like old antenna phones. Very smart design.
[HTC Rezound] Jasonhunterx:
Ive owned 4 Samsung devices currently on nexus an i had no issue an if 4.3 bothered you then you must have baby hands
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
The gs2 was wvga so it was considerably wider than the gnex or s3 so he doesn't have baby hands it would be tough to hold with one hand

[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I have tiny hands and the GS3 works pretty well for me, especially with soft keys installed.
[HTC Rezound] jbeitel:
Sorry, the rezound sim doesnt fit it the sg3. Someones feeding you a line
[HTC Rezound] Redwolf379:
I don't quite understand why every hates on the Rezound. I have had a number of smartphones (mostly Samsung) and this is without a doubt my favorite and best running. Its the perfect size, fast as hell, great screen, pretty decent battery life for its hardware (should have come with bigger battery out of the gate), suberb sound quality, and just runs like a champ. Both Samsung phones I've owned had horrible radios and dropped signal far too often for my liking. My Rezound has never lost signal. My Fascinate couldn't make it through a work day in my pocket without needing a charge. The Rezound goes all day and then some. I have a couple of friend that jumped on the GS3 and Nexus phones when they dropped and while they run quite smoothly, they are ugly (my opinion), I consistantly have better signal, and they dont do any task quicker or better than I can on my Rezound in real world testing. I'll keep my Rezound.

The nexus is not ugly IMO I like the design much better than the rezound. But that's just me

[HTC Rezound] con247:
Sim cutter bro. Or get a microsim. It fits in the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Baby hands? Man gohead with the insults. I've had Samsung phones and I've seen the reception. You got your opinion. Go ahead with your business.
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
Howardz....just stop...can't u see your just embarrassing yourself?
[HTC Rezound] ez2:
I upgraded from the Galaxy s2 to s3 and although I'm happy with it, i honestly only upgraded due to the camera and knowing that I was going to hand it off to my wife and use her upgrade to get the note 2 when it comes out.

The camera on the Galaxy s3 alone is reason enough to justify the upgrade if you take pictures and think the note 2 will be too big.

But, if you are at all curious about the note 2, I'd wait for it and make your comparison before pulling the trigger.

The note 2 should be a BEAST!

[HTC Rezound] Jasonhunterx:
Agree I got a nexus in white its beautifu
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
oh a white nexus probably looks sexy.

i like the nexus design more than the rezound now, too. when they first came out, i HATED the nexus back door (i was like, ew its so flimsy, etc)

but after like a month when my rezound back door started creaking just like my Inc, i realized, wow samsung def. had it right. the rezound is a little too chunky for my tastes nowadays too after using both the GS3 and the nexus. i like how the nexus' front is just one flat piece with no markings..looks sleek!
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You basically just summed up why I like the nexus over the rezound ;)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
dude, are you on gsm or cdma? You look like you use t-mo over in europe and that is gsm, which doesn't have poor signal like cdma does on sprint and verizon.

So basically, you don't know what you are talking about. ;)
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
SAMOLEDs only use less power when displaying dark colors. Pure white uses a ton of power on SAMOLEDs.

That's why ICS is dark themed, because the gnex is SAMOLED.

[HTC Rezound] bluetooth_decay:
I'd probably wait until the new Nexus phones drop. About the only thing the Rez doesn't have is a huge choice of ROMs. Why use an upgrade right before a new crop of phones appears?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'm also waiting and hoping for a new nexus. If it's anything like the S3 it will be much better than last year's.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Hopefully Verizon carries another Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Probably carry it and try to force our hand to buy the unlocked unsubsidized one like the gs3
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Well I will be purchasing all my future devices from Verizon unsubsized from now on. Would rather pay $600-$700 to keep my unlimited data, or I could wait a few months for a price drop. If they drop that deal all together I have no idea where I would go.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
I plan on buying off contract but waiting a little bit like you. No way am I dropping 600 man lol.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah it's usually a wise decision to wait. Buying a phone on release date is pretty much like being a beta tester imo. I've learned my lesson last year haha. I mean unless its so freaking amazing and gives me multiple nerdgasms just thinking about it.. $600 - w/e you get from selling your old device really isn't too bad. But yeah if I can get it for lower price I'm all for it.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
My opinion on the situation is...I would switch, but only because of the total lack of development going on with the Rezound and because so many people in the Rezound forum act like little kids. The Rezound is a great piece of hardware.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Because most of them are kids :p

Ashton is probably the most helpful of the young ones around here he is the only exception
[HTC Rezound] Piaband:
Lack of development?

Have you tried Newt's One X rom or the Venom Rom? Both ICS, sense 4.0 and both are incredible.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Just wait for the next version of AOSP to come out, then development will explode.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Lol Thanks!

Seems as though I'm the only one without the "Recognized Contributor" tag though ;)

I guess that's because of my attitude in some threads :p

me too, and they told me it's because i curse too much.

ahahahaha
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
No kidding. I'm trying to be good, in the hopes of moderatorship one day.
[HTC Rezound] Redwolf379:
If its a design preference, then go with what you like. I dig my Rezound and am perfectly fine running with it until my next upgrade, then I'll take a look at what's out there in the universe at that time. At the end of the day, find what works for you and roll with it.

Pretty sure I'm getting the GS3 to replace my dead Rez. But I hate white and dislike blue. Would the AT&T version work on Verizon if it's unlocked? They have a gorgeous red one.

TIA.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Nope. The blue and white are sexy. If you want to wait, they announced more colors so vzw MAY get some more

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Been without a phone for 3 weeks already! Wasn't so bad when I was working 16 hr days but it's slowing down now so I may actually have a social life again. Do you know when they're coming out? What colors? I will google as well...
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
For international, they got red, grey/titanium, brown, and black. Idk if and when vzw will get them though. Unless you want to spend $700 on an itnl one lmao

[HTC Rezound] TXI Kaze:
The white one is a lot better than the blue, in my opinion. I compared mine (white) to my friend's (blue.) The home button on mine is a solid white, while his looks more purple. Since the back door is glossy, it likes to grab onto finger prints for dear life. It's not too noticeable on the white, but on the blue? Yeah, it's bad. Really bad.

Does anyone know how to make the browser default to Desktop? There's nothing I want to see in mobile view.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MegaNoob:
Type "about:debug" without the quotes in the address bar of the browser and hit go. A message about java will show up on the top. Click it and ignore any errors. Now hit menu and settings. there will be a new option called debug. Click it and go to uastring change it to desktop. Restart the browser and your done. You might need to reboot not sure
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Netconn:
Thanks.. That worked great until I rebooted. Youtube still went to the mobile site. I went back to the java menu and the agent was still checked desktop. Works fine as long as the java script console is on.. Might have to use another browser..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I know on htc devices using about:debug was only good for that browsing session. You'd have to redo it anytime you close then reopen browser. You could try to set your homepage to about:debug to make it a little easier, but the browser would have to be modded to force it to keep those settingd. Its on my list of things I want to do but will likely be quite a while before I get to it. Search the forum for browser UAstring mod. You may find something that can help. I know some htc roms had it, not sure about samsung though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dkmdlb:
Use a different browser. Maybe dolphin or xscope or firefox.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Netconn:
I guess I'll use Opera, it works just fine and the desktop agent stays. I liked the stock browser and got used to it. Oh well, no problem.

Not sure if this is possible... I sms/mms/email a lot to my kids/family. And I find myself sending articles, pictures, etc to the same 2 or 3 contacts. Is there a way to make a group "KIDS" for example, that would contain the 2 or 3 contacts instead of adding each contact separately ? I've looked, and I sure can't figure it out.

Yes go to contacts and then groups tab. Hit the menu button and make a new group . On the bottom of that screen you will see add member. Click that and add people to your new group.

Now to send a message to that group go back to contacts and click the group tab. And long press the group you just made. You will see options to email and message

I was using my phone earlier today when google play froze while searching for an app. It just kept saying searching. I was simultaneously trying to access my desktop over my phones data connection so I figured that was the problem and decided to go into airplane mode in order to stop google play from searching forever because i am impatient. Well I did something. Google play stopped searching and said there was no longer a connection. So I turned off airplane mode and now ever since I have NO data connection. I can make calls, text, etc. but not go online. WHAT did i do??? I've tried restarting, turning airplane mode on then off, removing the batt. sim, mem card. Nothing seems to work. I've searched a lot but fond nothing and I'm frustrated. Please help. Thank you.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ACE_forever:
And whats so different :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] athe_s:
I think people more interesting about speed, performance and capacity..

I see your are not stating for more performance things, and for capacity u still use a2sd, there are some new script like amarulz and cronmod (i use it now) it make u have a big internal mem and good speed for performance.

And better you add some mod for ui setting like paranoid ROM.

This is just some point from me and nothing mean to pointless your ROM.

Hope you can consider it right...

[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Hey everyone,

I have had my Sprint Evo 3D since July 28th of last year. I knew right away that I wanted to root, having played around a little with unofficial OS's when I had my BlackBerry.

I am hboot 1.5,, S-on, and unlocked with HTC's unlocker.

Since then, I have run a few different Sense-based ROMs for Gingerbread. Current firmware is 2.89.

I have run an ICS ROM based on the VM leak, but it didn't really play nice with my phone, so I went back to a Gingerbread ROM.

Recently I have been trying out a ROM based on Sprint ICS, but it is in the early stages and actually has a few of the same issues as the one based off of the VM leak.

I understand that the ICS is relatively new to the Evo 3D, and that development takes time. That having been said, I just wanted to start a thread detailing what I do with my phone, what kind of issues I have had with ICS, and asking for opinions on where I should go from here.

I use my phone primarily to surf the web, play games, text, email and make phone calls.

The Gingerbread ROM I have been on was stable and played games just fine. Both ICS ROMs I have tried, I experience force closes most of the time, and severely wonky performance the rest of the time.I play games like Dad Space. Mass Effect, 9MM, and most of the 3D games made available for the Evo. I don't knowif the gaming troubles I have experienced with ICS ROMs is because of the ROMs, or because these games haven't been optimized for ICS yet,

I am thinking of trying out MeanROM, but do not know whether I should try to change my hboot or not, or relock, flash the OTA, and start all over again. I am intimidated by trying to get S-off, I mean I have flashed some ROMs, but I am hardly an expert.

So basically, where should I go from here in order to maximize my phone's potential for my purposes? I still have the backup I made with my Gingerbread ROM, so I could always do that.....

I was also wondering about superwipe, but do not want to lose my 3D pictures and videos.

Thanks in advance for your help and patience.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Lots of questions. Super wipe doesn't erase sd cards, so your pictures will be safe. If you want to make sure, very them off first.

I recommend you get s-off first using the wire trick. It'll make things easier for you with respect to flashing Roms and radios, hboot, etc and takes most people like five minutes once they're setup.

Install a custom recovery that can be flashed through bootloader. Recommend 4ext.

Install Meanrom through recovery.

Update firmware using freeza's zip available in CDMA development.

Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Okay, did the wire tric, got S-off. Updated firmware and hboot(losing back compatibility to Gingerbread in the process, but oh well). Am currently hopping between 3 ROMs on my 3VO: a rooted stock ROM, MeanROM ICS, and a ROM I am beta testing for a buddy. This all went down last night, Can't wait to see if I can play ganes again.

A question about MeanROM ICS:

In the MeanROM thread, it is stated that the camera has panorama and HDR....but I don't see it.
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
And I cannot get gameloft games to play on any ICS ROM?
