[HTC Rezound] d.kozzer:
I also had a DINC, and upgraded to the Rezound. It's an awesome phone - a worthy successor to the DINC - with the only real flaw being battery life. It's not a huge problem for me, since I have the ability to charge basically wherever I am, but the screen (oh what a beautiful, beautiful screen!) really sucks the juice.

As mentioned, the radios are fantastic. The screen is absolutely amazing (best I've ever seen on a phone, including iPhones), the hardware gives great performance, and it scales well. Size is a bit bulky, especially if you've got a thick case on it, but unless having the thinnest phone is a thing for you, it won't matter. Outside of a case it's really not that bad. Camera is awesome - better than my point-and-shoot.

Development has picked up with chad working out the radio interface layer, and once HTC drops the kernel source code for the new OTA, we should get some really nice AOSP ROMs and dare I say Jelly Bean ROMs a bit after that.

So overall, I say go for it. It's a great phone, and I'm very happy with my choice.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Yes, unfortunately your choices are limited, especially if you prefer HTC (as I do). Rezound is still the best option all the way around, but I daresay the new Incredible would probably do fine as well. The thing is, there's nothing on the horizon that has even been hinted at for HTC this fall, except the possibility of some oversize "phablet".
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Me personally.. Nah I'd go for the SGS3 or wait for one of the new Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
I would wait until we get more info about the DLX, the phablet someone mentioned above. if it has a 5" 1080p screen and the quad core krait processor like the info we have now states, I will be all over it, and im sure many others will too.
[HTC Rezound] Redwolf379:
There's a lot of pretty slick offerings right now for Verizon, but I love my Rezound and would buy it again. Battery life isn't ad bad as people make it out to be. I would definitely recommend it.

[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Rezound is the only Verizon phone I'd buy right now. Some people will say SGS3 or Nexus, but I've been too burned by Samsung to even consider them an option.
[HTC Rezound] quepaso:
I would definitely get a S3 or wait, rezound is awesome phone and i love mine, but its a old chipset inside, the screen destroys battery life and it does not have nfc. I would not use my upgrade on one personally but get one off contract used and then get something really nice this holiday.
[HTC Rezound] bbeaulieu:
It's a pretty good phone, but there are better on Verizon. People are right about the great screen and radios, but the battery life is pretty bad and it has an older chipset that won't perform quite as well as newer phones like the Dinc 4G even if it is clocked to 1.5Ghz. Also, Sense is more of a hindrance than a help on ICS imo. While it was helpful and helped supplement what was missing in GB, it just gets in the way of ICS and basically tries to cover up functionality that's already built in with their own implementation of that functionality which may/may not be better.

Once we get kernel source, which is hopefully sooner rather than later, we'll have some pretty solid AOSP ROMs and I'll probably like the phone more because of it haha. If it were up to me right now, though, I'd spring for the G-Nex. I actually had one before the Rezound and kinda regret going to the Rezound. The devs here definitely make it better, though.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
The Rezound is a great phone, but I don't think VZW even sells it anymore!

[HTC Rezound] Vitamin_D:
I would say no. Phone is great but HTC and Verizon are making it fail. I hate skins and hopefully the next Nexus is like the Nexus 1/Incredible(Phone I had before). I think I'm getting old because I don't want to mess with roms anymore. Next phone for me will be a Nexus and probably not on Verizon. Beats Audio sounds like **** too on this phone. Left channel is fudged.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Definitely get the GS3. It is leaps and bounds better than the Rezound. It is thinner, lighter, faster, 2x the battery life, and the same price.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
While I like my Rezound, it's already outdated. That's just the nature of smartphones sadly. I would either get an S3 or wait to see what the iPhone 5 and Droid RAZR HD are like. Definitely don't settle on a Rezound given the other choices you have.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
The Rezound is still a pretty good phone. But if you are buying a brand new phone, get the SGS3. It easily spanks the Rezound. It has the S4 vs S3, that's a HUGE difference right there. It's got a much bigger battery and everybody says the battery will go at least a day and a half where as the Rez barely gets 8-10 hours. Both screens are great, Rez's is a little better though. Biggest difference is the fact there are no devs for the Rez any more and there are tons for the SGS3. If you like flashing a lot, you'll hate the Rez. If you dont, then it wont matter.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
I've searched, but the only similar problems either solely involved Windows or ended in a return/RMA. I'm really hoping someone can help me.

Story: I restored a backup using TWRP 2.2.1.3 (ICS). I'm honestly not sure which ROM it was, could have been stock. I was actually restoring it to find out what it was. Before the restore, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, and system. The restore went perfectly, no errors or anything out of the ordinary. When I rebooted into the system, it hung on the initial bootsplash. I waited a few minutes before giving up and booting back into recovery. I rebooted by holding down the power button for a while (30 seconds maybe?) and held Volume Down as the tablet booted.

Problem: Instead of the message to press Volume Up to boot into recovery, it just went directly to the screen that comes up after waiting where it counts down the cold boot time and gives you three options - except now, I only have two: Wipe Data and Fastboot. Great, at least I have fastboot. Right? Wrong, apparently. Selecting that option shows the message "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol", but the command

./fastboot devices

returns a blank line. Likewise,

./fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery ./openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.3-tf300t.blob

returns "<waiting for device>".

Attempted troubleshooting: I tried rebooting the device and starting fastboot while attached via USB, and I've tried starting fastboot before plugging in the USB cable. I tried rebooting to the system and using ADB at the hanging bootsplash. There was no ADB access. I've tried restarting the computer while the tablet is plugged in and in fastboot mode.

OS: Debian Testing; ia32-libs, ia32-libs-dev, and ia32-libs-gtk installed

Kernel: 3.5.2 from Debian repos + BFS + BFQ, self-compiled

Previous ROM: Blackbean 8/15

Other: I have not flashed the JB OTA yet (restoring the backup was actually in preparation for the JB OTA; I wanted to see if I had a rooted stock backup). I did not flash the JB version of TWRP. I have used ADB and Fastboot on my tablet successfully in the past on the same computer.

I hope I didn't forget anything relevant. If I think of something else, I'll post it.

Edit: Possible progress? I selected the Wipe Data option, and it loaded TWRP and wiped data. Unfortunately, it immediately attempted to boot the system, which just hung on the initial splashscreen. So, I still have a recovery. I just need a way to boot into it. I'll keep messing around, I guess.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Bump, plus an update.

I realized I should probably run lsusb to see if the computer is actually detecting the tablet. This is the output of "lsusb -v". The output is the same whether the tablet is in Fastboot mode or hanging at the bootsplash. ADB still won't recognize the connected device while on the bootsplash. Interestingly, the iProduct seems to be labeled "Fastboot" in both cases, but fastboot doesn't recognize the tablet either.

I'm really hoping this can help someone. If my computer is recognizing the tablet, there may be some way to bruteforce the tablet into recovery or something, I think.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untermensch:
you may have adb available during the wipe process, you can try to push an install instruction to /cache/recovery/command

install_package=path to your rescue zip

you could also try to delete /cache/recovery/command and may end up looking at the recovery UI

you would have to be very lucky for this to work

if TWRP uses an external executable to format partitions you could also try to attack that with chmod -x /sbin/mke2fs

and try to get an error screen to display, or replace it with a script that goes in the an endless loop so you have enough

time to

dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Yeah, I tried that, actually, but forgot to add it to my attempted troubleshooting list. I ran "adb devices" before the wipe so it would be able to detect it ASAP, but I got nothing. It just sat on "<waiting for device>" during the whole process.

I'm assuming this part depends on the first part working. I'll fiddle with it when I get home from work in the morning.

This is so aggravating. I had no idea that restoring a backup could do this. And it's even more frustrating that my computer can see the tablet at a low level but can't seem to interface with it in userspace.

My next step was going to be to try to PM Asus_USA and Gary Key to see if they had any ideas, but I'm sure they would just tell me they can't help and I need to RMA it.

I may try to contact AndroidRoot.mobi to see if they've seen this or have any ideas, but I'm not sure how willing they would be to help, even if they could. If anyone besides Asus_USA can help, it's them. It may be my last hope before RMA.

I don't have any other bootloader except stock, my pad was rooted....

I tried the update and it failed, rebooted and ICS popped back up and I received a message stating that the update failed and ICS was being restored.

I put a copy of the update file in the CACHE folder and tried to update again - this event failed as well, but now my computer won't recognize my pad, and the USB option doesn't show up on the stock recovery (pic below).

Checked device manager and the ASUS PAD is showing error code 10 (device stopped)... downloaded new drivers, rebooted computer, tried to figure out how to load Motorola drivers ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1685540 ), but nothing worked.

Looks like we have similar problems... Hope we don't have to send the pads in to get fixed.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediNinjafication:
I have gnex and same thing almost. I did a restore from job to pics and its like adb installs drivers backwards.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Hmmm... I was gonna focus on getting fastboot to work, personally. I'll try some things with ADB and the wipe data option like untermensch suggested, too. Maybe there's some kind of exploit we can use to get to the point that we can use untermensch's exploit. I'm gonna compile a new kernel in the morning with USB debugging enabled and see if I can get anything useful from the logs.

Be aware, though, that if anything good comes about, it will be Linux-centric since that's my preferred OS, and I don't really know anything about Windows, especially the changes since XP.

Edit: I see you have the "Android" option. If you select that, what happens? Does the OS boot? Can you access ADB?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Well, if it shows up in Device Manager, the computer sees it, but I don't know exactly what that error means. I have no idea if it's a driver issue. What drivers have you tried? Did you use the Asus drivers? The universal drivers (I've seen some on XDA; look for "naked universal" drivers)? Others have used Motorola drivers when the Asus ones didn't work.

I really don't know why your tablet would boot all the way to the animation but without ADB access. That's why I think (and hope) it might be a driver issue.

Go to your c drive or wherever your SDK is and go to the extras folder Google USB or drivers and there will be an inf file. Open it. Do you see your phone? Then go to device manager and right click android 1.0 and click properties then driver tab and driver info then look at the drop down for hardware Id. Can Google that first line.

So... Fastboot has been updated in the Debian repos a couple times since I originally posted this thread. Today, I decided to attempt another resuscitation of my tablet over fastboot expecting the same results I got in August (using the official SDK from android.com). Thankfully, one of the fastboot updates must have fixed something that was broken in the official fastboot binary, because fastboot magically worked this time. I probably could have flashed a new recovery and restored a backup or something, but I decided to start fresh and play it safe, so I flashed the stock ASUS ICS firmware and got a working tablet. I then performed the NVFlash backups and tried to update to the stock ASUS JB firmware -- except, the JB firmware can't be fastboot-flashed over the ICS firmware, and I almost soft-bricked it again (I know, right?). Thankfully, I was able to fastboot-flash TWRP, and I used that to successfully flash the ICS firmware again (I lost the entirety of the contents of my internal storage, but that's OK, even though I totally could have prevented it; I just wanted the tablet to work again). Once I had my tablet working again, I was able to properly update to Jellybean.

I'm sure there was an easier way to fix the tablet without losing all my stuff, but the important thing is that my tablet works again, so I don't care. Nothing on it was important, anyway (except maybe my GTA3 data, but that's debatable).

Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there. Probably not, since most people are already on JB, but my info's here in case someone needs it.

Hey fellas,

Finally got my hands on the Speck CandyShell case! A lot of you have been commenting and asking for this review, so here it is! The CandyShell is a one-piece, hybrid style case that offers a mix of hard plastic (the backing) with a rubberized silicone (the inner layer). Due to the way the case is made, it offers great protection without adding a lot of bulk. The case has a simple but eye-catching design that I personally dig. This case definitely delivers protection, style and design - there's a reason it is Speck's best selling case.

Check out the full review below, you won't be disappointed in this one:
