[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Just letting you know i figured out there that sound was emitting from. Turns out it was the app Light Flow and Low Battery notification was enabled with sound. I turned it off and the sound went away. :) Other than when rebooting making sure It has a internet connection (having to reboot several times over) and it reboots in play store when downloading updates only sometimes.... my phone is working properly finally!!! :laugh::good::cool:

I had nothing but problems for the last 2 weeks after receiving it back but it was due to the jtag service that went fine. :good:

[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
[MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] Just found out simutanous voice and data does not work. Can this be fixed? I need it, otherwise do you know a rom that supports this feature like CM 11? I always use this when i was on stock rom weather 3G or 4G LTE.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
to be honest try a 4.3 or lower based rom as it was fixed on that...
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I like Kit Kat and the features it brings. When i tether my data connection though using the built in settings sometimes it disconnects and i have to keep changing the password then change it back again. I use to use WiFi Thether app on gingerbread as i never had upgraded to ICS. The problem with that app is it was not password protected and ran Ad-Hoc mode due to infrastructure.
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
Nothing is perfect. This ROM is probably about the most stable and functional I have used since I got this phone over two years ago now- and I have tried quite a few. If you must have kit kat, this is your best bet. Something tells me you will always have a new problem... :banghead:
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
[MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] Also what's the point of Kit Kat roms if they don't support this standard feature? It defeats the purpose in flashing to Kit Kat as It's importnant to have simutanous voice and data especially while traveling using GPS. When I used my first Droid it was a 3G device and this technology wasn't available, it pissed me off when i had calls come thru when I was driving places. But at the time I also had a Garmin GPS system as backup which got stolen unfortnantley.

True indeed it works pretty well and i've been going back and fourth between this and CM 11. I used CM 11 previously tried it once but was having some issues on build 127. Tho this is a standard feature that should get fixed. It doesn't make the rom complete. I suppose if I must I can resort to using Jelly Bean but I'm not sure if it is much different than kit kat on what it has to offer and what rom to flash to. Originally I came from Gingerbread stock which i was stuck on and bricked my phone a month ago and had to send it out to get JTagged and serviced. I'm now given S-Off and had this flashed with the wrong recovery because it was never specified by the OP and I performed the unlock bootloader on my Mac myself.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It should work fine on Verizon, who's your carrier? Are you on the latest build that fixed it?
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Yes i'm on verizon and I'm currently still on Evervolv the newest build and dual flashed gsm/cdma zips to have global capabilities. For CM 11 I'm reading that simutanous voice and data is broken and the best build to be on is 127.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You only need to flash the GSM zip if you're on a GSM carrier, otherwise stick to the CMDA zip. All the zip does is change some build.prop properties.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I read if I flash the CDMa it enables simutanous voice and data. I dual flashed them because I wanted global capabilities. I know that's what GSM is. All phones that have SIM cards are global and i'm not sure why in the beginning people didn't figure this out about the rezound when it was new. Anyhow so when I travel overseas then all I have to do is pop in a SIM card correct? This rom is by default on Global setting in network settings.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
its not that it will never work...theres just alot to be worked on in source to iron out bugs
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You can't dual flash them, it's one or the other. One enables simultaneous data/voice, the other breaks it when it enables GSM. Just flash the other zip when you go overseas, use the CDMA one for now.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
[MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] [MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION] I'll be flashing over the cdma zip which should solve the coice / data issue I'm having. As far as bugs are concerned II've only encounted a few, that's it. Not bad for a 2+ year old device and the work that everyone at XDA has put into it. :good::) To solve the battery issues which everyone complains about I did try out Mugen Power batteries and found the 1900MHZ no different than stock battery. I'm going to invest in external battery probably Anker 10,000 MHZ and a 2.1A wall charger. The 1A the Rezound is supplied with isn't good enough and it's slow to charge (3 hours+) and I get less than 4 hours battery life with heavy usage and screen at 20% brightness everything but LTE off.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It won't draw more then 1A charging even with a higher amp charger, I monitor mine with battery widget and it's never crossed that... With the extended battery, I get about double over a stock for life also, it's 2750mA. It's this one, it comes with the right back cover also - http://www.accessorygeeks.com/veriz...=19219996495&gclid=CO3Qn_qm17wCFfM7OgodxkEAAw
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Mugen, Laza, and most other batteries are no better than stock... Using the HTC extended battery is your best bet, it adds a lot of heft to it but it seriously adds life to the phone. Make sure you use the HTC back, avoid the generic or even non-HTC branded brand name ones, the antenna is in the cover, so it makes a huge difference.

Welcome to the Rezound world of poor battery life, one of the major detractors of this phone... if you get 2 hours screen time on a full charge with a standard (1700~1900) battery, your doing great, I mean really great, and you will get around 3-4 with an extended battery.

and [MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION] is absolutely correct, you could get a 2.1A, 3.1, or a 5A charger and the phone would never charge any faster... devices (including phones) PULL a charge, it isn't pushed into it, the Rezound will never pull more than 1000ma (actually, about 987ma according to my Fluke), it was never designed to and will be limited by recovery (power off) or the kernel (power on). To be honest, even if you found away around this and got the phone to pull more current and charge faster, it would probably destroy the battery in pretty short order, a full 1A pull into a week battery with mild use can push the temps well into the dangerous range quickly and if it were to charge faster it would destroy the battery from the inside out.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Yes I know that is the stock extended battery. I think that's it's just too much bulk the same can be said for the Mugen Power 4000MHZ battery. The extended battery I was refering to I meant is external the ones that are USB driven. I read reviews stating consumers saw an decrease in charge time using extternal batteries and 2.1A wall chargers.

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ----------

Interesting information. Well I tried Mugen and Laza batteries and found both very unreliable about 7% off. Last year my original HTC battery actually exploded for the inside out due to overheating problems. Verizon promptly sent me a replacement battery at no charge. But what I found about this HTC one is it's also 7-13% off. When charging sometimes it gets to 87% then a few minutes later it might say 100%. So the consistency of any of these batteries is rather in question...are they reliable? Tests that i've conducted theory show they are not. I did consider investing in a bulk stock battery but I'm not so sure it's worth the cost.

I read how amperage works regarding power and battery. From what I read I gathered that more amps wouldn't do harm to the battery. So all these other wall plugs with high amps are just for marketing purposes in other words and a waste of money am I correct? I am well aware that sometimes on USB the devices use more charge than is being power to it as it draws more than usb. I do have a 2.1A charger for the HTC Rezound car dock and I found that it exceeds the OEM charger as it doesn't drain as opposed to using the 1A and the fact it charged pretty quickly. To note this was not when the battery exploded it happend at home while tethering it.

The standard battery 1620mhz I got less than 2 1/2 hours time on gingerbread but while tethering which uses more battery. But generally speaking got less than 4 hours. I may have deleted the test data I complied back a year ago, i'll look for it. The 1900mhz Mugen I got maybe half hour up to an hour more time than the stock. 30 hours with very light usage, As for currently on this rom I havent really tested it out theory, but im well aware of the terible battery life on this device.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
with my 3800mah extended battery i get maybe 4 hours total on the rezound i still have...about an hour and a half on stock...works fine just bad motherboard...its an HT1A rezound
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Wow...that's horrid and absolute rubbish! Where did you find a 3800mah battery? Maybe the motherboard on my Rezound is bad.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
That would be 4 hours screen on time I believe.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
How do I know what kind my Rezound is exactly?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I have never used Mugen, but I have 2 Laza "1750ma" standard batteries, they were as reliable as the stock ones. Seeing how I have had... ummm.... lets just say "more than one" Rezound for various reasons, I have lots of batteries, 2 Laza, 4 stock, 3 extended, and several backs and external chargers. Every battery I own charges fine to 100%, and drains as expected, although the standard batteries can get quite warm (oddly, the extended batteries seem almost immune from the heat issues).

Chargers over 1A are NOT a marketing gimmick by any means, there are definitely devices which require, or at least can make use of, higher current power supplies, even my Nexus 4 will draw close to 1200ma if it can, iPads will pull 2100ma, Asus Transformer Tablet 2000ma, etc. So is it a waste of money, well maybe, maybe not... the quality and stability of the power is more important, and many of the higher quality chargers have a higher current rating, so money wasted? Your call I guess... Plus, your next phone or other device might be able to pull 1.2A, or your buddy might bring over his iPad or Asus Transformer, why not have an adapter that is more versatile and future proof.

The stock batteries are indeed rated at 1620ma, the Laza batteries I have are rated at 1750ma, I haven't noticed any difference in actual use, but have now switched to an extended battery as I am using my Rezound much more than I used to, and away from the ability to charge it throughout the day. I tend to measure my batteries by screen on time, although this isn't very scientific, it suits my needs. On any standard battery I get about 1.5-2.0 hours of screen time, on an extended battery close to 3 hours. I do a lot of email and use push sync to Exchange, so I am hard on batteries.

I never had good battery life on Gingerbread, I had acceptable life on ICS and later Jellybean builds, and Evervolv was one of the better ones of late. To be honest though, I gave up on JellyBean and KitKat ROMs and went back to EclipticRez with Lunar kernel, it is rock solid and gives me the best battery life of any Rezound ROM I have ever used.

And soon battery life won't be a concern for me much anymore, well, as soon as my local Verizon store gets some LG G2's back in stock the end of the week... I am due for a new company phone as of today, so my time remaining with this device is very short. My company owns the phone, so I am expecting they will want it back to recycle or keep as a spare since it's in excellent condition, although if they don't ask, well, it will continue to be my "backup" phone to play with.

First 4 characters of your serial number... HT1A , HT1B, and HT19 are the ones I have seen, there are probably others... HT1A seemed to be the most troublesome, the HT19 I had went a long time with no issues and the proximity sensor gave out, the HT1B I have now has been rock solid for two years straight.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I plan to still use this phone as a backup device as well. I initally was looking into the Samsung Galaxy S5 but phones of 2015 are supposed to supress 2014 by a land slide. The specs introduced will be standard for years to come including UHD and 4k video. I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on something soon to be obsolete. Unless my Rezound complete goes out on me it's my main device until 2015. As far as battery life goes I'll probably run tests at a later date. I never really got decent battery life with this phone no matter what I did. But I'll tell you this much I think i'm getting better battery life than you because i made sure to switch off settings in Apps Ops. I also have gmail to push and other services on the Rezound. That's awesome you get a new company phone soon! :):good: Do you suggest I get a new kernel for my Rezound or leave it be? By the way the voice data is working good since i flashed only the cdma zip. :good: I forgot about the useage of tablets and iPads your right about those. But explain why my car charger rated at 2.1A give the device a higher charge and it wont dischage when using GPS!? I'll lookup my serial on this device. But I think its HT19...
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Eh... I could wait for the next awesome phone, my Rezound is pretty solid right now, but there will always be a next one that's better, the SGS5, HTC Two/M8, G-Flex, Yotaphone, or whatever, it won't matter too much for work, I basically am just craving battery life now. What I really need is basic voice, text, and camera, Exchange email and calendar, Tigerpaw access (our CRM software), and the ability to open office and pdf documents, basic smartphone stuff, so the LG G2 is actually far beyond what I need in a work phone. Now, my personal phone is a Nexus 4, that's a different story, we will see what fall brings next in the Nexus line...

And Samsung... yeah, never again, especially with there more and more Apple-like stance on stuff... blocking third party accessories, rumors of making their own app store and abandoning Play Store, and so on.

As far as a kernel goes, I tried Funky and had issues with it but I don't remember exactly what they were, so I would stay with the stock Evervolv kernel (actually, I don't think it's truly a stock kernel, pretty sure [MENTION=2658396]kkozma[/MENTION] tweaked that up some), it seems well matched to the ROM. Stay with it, I usually recommend to stay with the included kernel unless there is a specific need to change it.

Your phone isn't charging faster on a 2.1A charger, I am not sure what you are talking about with the GPS actually. My second job is delivering pizza a few night a week, I used to use the GPS on my Rezound all the time with a decent 1A car charger and it charges fine well using the GPS with the screen on for hours at a time. My guess is your "1A car charger" isn't actually providing 1A or voltage is a little off, and the 2.1A is of higher quality and provides sufficient current under all conditions.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
no 4 hours from 100% to dead....phone at times will get so hot it can almost not be held....again not a baterry issue as same battery at same time would get 20+ hours from 100% to dead in a seperate rezound with the ST1 motherboard...you can check by looking at the first few letters and numbers of your serial...also the battery was aftermarket but i did have an OEM HTC extended cover as aftermarket ones suck...so i guess there is 4 mobo types then as i had an ST1...not HT1 that ran amazingly as well till i sold it to get the relay for NV development and such
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Yes of course there will always be devices that supress it's latter. But you can't really keep up with technology always. It improves in increments each year a good rule is to upgrade every 3 years if possible not 2. It's a marketing skeem for companies to get your money if you think about it. Yes phones are obsolete within 6 months to a year but the improvement isn't always that innovative. Take a good look at Apple for example. Or even some of androids manufactures.

I can understand blocking of 3rd party accessories because some are hazards and cause issues pertaining to safety of operation of a smartphone. There was an article published I think last year of a person who bought a 3rd party charger for their iPhone and it burned up. There's also articles on how bad 3rd party accessories can be and how inaccurate they are compared to OEM. I have personally bought a few 3rd party accessories that were not of high quality, one specific that sparked in a wall charger, a battery charger.

As far as the charger goes for the car travel dock I was saying that the one supplied was rated at 1A, which I used and found when turning on the GPS and running navigation with screen on it ran down the battery. I upgraded my power source to a 2.1A plug and have not had an issues since and found not only did the phone charge not discharge (used too much power on usb) but it rapidly charged at a faster rate over OEM.

I'm not sure if it was samsung but I know there's a company talking about releasing it's own OS and abandoning Android OS possibly. I'll look into what you said about Samsung more theorly but if they make there owen app store that's not a terrible idea. But to abandon Google Play Store altogether that's in question. There has to be a valid reason for this, maybe because of it's policy and lack of regulation regarding app development and malware? Just a thought. But Amazon released their own version of android app store for instance, then there's aptoide for users who want paid apps for free. Also to note Blackmart (Play store black market basically) which I don;t use anymore.

And yes the kernel in Evervolv was tweak, you have the ability to change the CPU governor to over and underclock it within the developers options under performance. I have experimented with this tho.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
It's an HT19 as I thought previously. I looked it up in my About Phone section to confirm it. It does get warm to hot sometimes with low-average battery life. If I dont use it then maybe i'll get 30 hours. I average I think 5-6 hours, not sure though currently. I haven't ran tests. Right now i'm running battery compare app for an hour.
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
Comparing only screen on time isn't a good idea as it depends on how you use your phone, i.e. if you're always on the move with automatic sync on you'll get less screen on time as the phone will spend battery power doing background sync. You've got to include percentage of battery used by the screen too to get a realistic number, i.e. mA per hour of screen on time.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I just had this issue now after trying to acess it after pushing an article to my phone to share to a contact. Do you plan on making a fix in the next build for this? And the built in tethering sometimes when connected to computer have to change the password to reconnect to computer. Google play updates don't come thru unless I reboot phone.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

I believe I have every set to auto sync in the background and I know this takes up processing and battery power. Android system is supposed to close apps and store them in ram after a period of time. Screens the displays we use are a major factor in battery percentage and usefullness. It's best to use 20-40% brightness. I thought the smartphones are supposed to go into deep sleep mode when idle? Am I correct?
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Only if the screen is off and apps/data connection aren't keeping the phone awake constantly with "wakelocks." The phone isn't going to sleep well if sync settings are aggressive and/or plentiful.

You could track down wakelocks with BetterBatteryStats or a similar app. Then try Greenify to assist with any programs you may have that behave badly and stay busy in the system. Otherwise, be more mindful of sync settings, especially instant push notifications - change stuff to higher intervals if you can.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
A well behaved app should wake up, do it's thing and go back to sleep. It's the not so well behaved apps you gotta watch for.

Keep in mind on KitKat with BBS, you need to enable the root option in the Advanced settings or it won't work. Alternatively you can add the Xposed module to expose the battery stats.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I'm not using BBS as first off states in the description it doesn't work with Kit Kat and secondly it's very pricey. I installed Wakelock Detector which is free and has beeter ratings along with Greenify. But the donation version of Greenify won't work so I have some system apps froze in titanium. Also installed in Exposed Frameworks BootManager to control startup items. I still have Autostarts and RomToolbox Pro for startup items installed additionally.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

Some of the apps I have I notice in Apps Ops keep re-setting the privacy settings that I toggled off (Location, Keep Awake) which for the majority off all apps I toggled off to conserve battery and privacy. It's rather aggrivating and time consuming to have to check each time I reboot my phone to see this change.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
First line on BBS...

Due to major changes by Google in Kitkat root access is required to have access to all the features of BBS (see here for more details: https://plus.google.com/110567671203524092843/posts/ReLvz6KJwG5)

Not sure were you saw it doesn't work with KK.

Network connection drops / No WiFi

Today I noticed my 4G LTE data connection drops sometimes and I'm not able to connect to WiFi at all, it doesn't show any networks when searching. I've wiped davilk and cache in recovery but it didn't seem to fix the problem.

Sorry for my absence guys! I was put on a project at work that had to be completed and I needed to remove myself from XDA so that I could get it done on time.

I know, darn work getting in the way of fun stuff!!!!

Anyways, the good news is that nothing has really changed with Evervolv in the last month. I'll see about getting a fresh build up by this weekend.

Also thanks to CoolJourney for the donation! Very much appreciated!
