For all those lucky enough to have their hands on a Rezound, please post any problems you are noticing (dropping calls, bad bluetooth, rebooting, etc).
SERIOUS Widespread (A lot of people seem to be speaking up) Issues:
1) Heat Issues (130+ degrees)
2) Dead Pixels
Other Widespread (A lot of people seem to be speaking up) Issues:
1) Since the SD Card now shows as "SD Card 2" many apps which do not know to look for that as the true SD card will not find items on your SD Card.
2) Birthday integration from facebook (birthday in the people app shows a day early) [SAME AS ON INCREDIBLE]
4) A high pitched whine while listening to music through headphones [MANY people have this]
5) The soft buttons turn pink
Other Raised Issues But May Be User/Phone Specific Rather than Common:
1) Notification sounds change seemingly at random
2) Light leakage on the bottom underneath the capacative buttons
If you are having any problems, please head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359862
and post your problem and your manufacture date/batch number. Maybe we can figure out if these are just for a specific batch of phones.
Thanks!

My battery is great. I was in a 4g area tonight for 3 hours. Sittin idle in pockey only to check a few texts and one 3 minute call, i lost 9% of my battery. The 4g on the rezound can be turned off and use 3g only, even in a 4g area

Not sure if its supposed to go out, but my red soft keys dont stay lit, or light up sometimes. I think i may just be looking at them wanting them to glow? When i first saw them, i wasnt gonna get it. It bothered me that much. But when they light up, it is not bothersome at all. I really like it. Glad i just bought it and didnt let my mind get set against it. As i type this, they are out. Not sure if its sone sort or battery saving thing? They aeem to light up randomly?

I think turning off the 4g radio helps this phone a lot. Under networks, go into network settings then preferred and you can set it to cdma or lte/cdma.

basically you didn't really do much of anything with the phone in that time. id like to see much battery drain there is with it constantly using 4g data w/ the screen on the whole time, for 3 hours. my Thunderbolt would die before the 3 hour mark(stock battery).
Batteries can be replaced with extended batteries. While very important, would still like to hear if there are reboot problems or Bluetooth problems or anything else.

nah, just like on the incredible, they work based off ambient light. tunr off all lights or cover the area by the ear piece, they'll come on. turn on a light and put the phone under said light, they'll turn off.

Awesome. With 4G off I am sure it can be manageable. Can't wait to get this phone in 2 weeks.
no prob man..haha on some of the later sense 2/3 hybrid incredible roms, devs couldnt figure out how to turn them off and use the ambient light sensor....so they were stuck on lol
believe me, when i first got my inc, i had no idea why it did that either until someone explained it to me too

Doesn't work quite that way for me, to be honest. I was sitting outside in the dark tonight, and they would just not come on sometimes. Most frequently, when I unlocked the phone and explored the home screen, they would stay off. But sitting here now, in a lit room, they do the same thing. Let the phone sit for a bit, and on they come. Weird.
It does seem like an issue to me. Just an annoyance.
Have not tried Bluetooth functionality yet. No random reboots yet. Had trouble getting Wifi to work at the house. Turns out I put the wrong MAC address in my wireless router MAC filter list. User error on that one.

Not sure if this is worth it's own thread... guess I'll just post it here. I've heard some questions elsewhere about weight. I weighed the Thunderbolt and Rezound. Here are the weights I measured.
Rezound - 170 g.
Thunderbolt - 195 g.
So the Rezound is still a hefty boy. Not as hefty as the Thunderbolt, though.
Maybe you've got a defective one? They're supposed to work based on ambient lighting. Thats weird.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
They do, I bet if he covered it with his finger it'd go on, then go off when directly next to a light (each for several seconds).
A problem is often HTC's settings for ambient light aren't the best, and they won't go on at a relatively dark area because there is a light off in the distance that it picks up.
I do believe there is a few second delay after determining if it's dark or light, so that it doesn't rapidly flicker when changing from light to dark areas.
My HTC incredible did the same thing, and the TB did too. No surprise to hear this
Exactly. Haha
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
One other thing about the capacitive buttons. Unless I have defective ones, they aren't exactly "red" when lit up. They look more like hot pink.
Personally, I don't mind. I roll with a green theme, and the pink is a nice subtle clash to the green and complement to the black bezel. If you're unlike me and are afraid of sporting a phone with pink buttons when it's lit up, I guess this should worry you.
hmm..all the videos i've seen looked red..interesting.
maybe that'll be like the ol famous 'pink hue' problem from our amoled incs! haha osme had it, some didn't

I think most pics posted online show it in the unlit state, where there is definitely a dark red color. I guess when lit, it's more like Magenta than pink... if you can tell the difference.
Odds are I'm the only one curious but, how's the quality on the earbuds that come with the phone?
Are they comparable to any of the models they sell?
Also as of now does it seem like most developers are holding out for the nexus? Seems to be the impression I am getting - sticking to my Thunderbolt for now...

What is your biggest complaint on the HTC Evo 3D so far?
Mine definitely has to be the power button... You could sneeze and the thing would turn on. I had a leather holster that held the original EVO. While the 3d fits it fine, the mere contact of the end of the case on the power button turns it on (and keeps it on).
I think this could potentially be fixed with a software update - possibly requiring the power button to be pressed for a second or two (and not instantaneously) before taking effect.
the 3D makes me slightly nauseous.
and i don't think the camera button needs to stick out so far..
3g, 4g, and wifi signal do not seem to have as fast of speeds as my evo downloading the same page, in the same place. (may be because the evo was rooted)
call quality is not as good as the evo.
but, the speeed, and the screen clarity.. i like.
My updating icon on the top of the phone is constantly on .

I just got back from my local Radioshack. Their store phone wasn't activated yet and their rather tech un-savvy crew was scared to death to even turn it on...sigh
...but I did get to see the mockup. I have to say, I --hate-- the shape. I loved the Evo4G shape. Perfect to me. But, now I've gotta say...I'm more than just a little turned off at how narrow it is. It's going to make web pages suck in portrait and really suck in landscape...sure, the gigantic jump in resolution will surely make that a lot easier to deal with than first glance of a mockup would suggest...but I just hate the way the shape looks.
That said I think the materials, construction and overall appearance (shape aside) are fantastic. Sure, it was just a mockup, but it was the fancy mockup....I just wish the screen was less narrow...I hate that so much.
...I'd will not jump ship to ATT, but, the Holiday looks more my size. I'm a tall guy with big hands, that narrow candybar **** is irritating.
I'll still get it and try it out...but...this might be a deal breaker for me.

Yes this was causing me to have 100% uptime. Tracked it down to Gmail contacts sync. Manually hit the sync button and eventually got it to stop. It may be killing your battery.

So many times in my truck on lunch break at work I would be texting or IMing or surfing or tapping replies on XDA and streaming through the stereo....and I had to choose between milking my battery dry or dealing with supreme annoyance.
...I just hope it isn't in the same retarded place as on the thunderbolt....or the kickstand case opens up the opposite way...
Not a fan of the the battery cover. Feels like I'm going to break it when I take it off. Also the side charger port and the fact that you have to unplug the charger to take off the battery cover

Could it be the difference in size? The 3D is slightly taller than the Evo, so it could be already bumped up against your case.

My beef with that location is talking on the phone while in the car. The cord goes up, and gets pulled down. I'm almost certainly going to break the charge port.
I would have to say my biggest complaint is the charging port being on the side. With the way I hold my phone it gets in the way. When in the car I use the phone to navigate (I would never text and drive) and the charging port is on the opposite side then the charger so it is pulling down on it and its not comfortable.
Camera takes decent pictures. Have had phone activated for about 3 hours and its not a noticeable battery killer. I have been streaming music on 3G, took a photo one in 2d and one in 3d, moderate texting ( maybe 80 messages) and it is at 69%

Can't say I'm that happy. Random reboots, reception issues, and things like my battery discharging even though its plugged into my USB annoy me.
Stickin with it though, I have faith in this thing.
I am very satisfied with it in an "off-the-shelf" capacity. There is virtually no lag, and does everything I would expect from a non-rooted phone very well.
I don't have any of the issues though. No reboots, screen issues etc.
Once it is perm rooted it will be perfect.

Am I the only one with a perfect E3D? I've been reading threads from other site as well. A lot of people had problems. On the released date, I called sprint rep to upgrade. Ever since the day I received it, never had any problem, but for some reason still not satisfy. Maybe because there's no permanent root s-off?

I was happy with the EVO but not Sprint. Sadly i blows in my area (or PR entirely) dropped calls, goes straight to roaming in the first floor of my house, average data speeds or 200kbps and a all time low of 7kbps etc. It wasnt worth the switch from TMO. Good thing they let me reactivate before 30 days of cancellation and its like it never happened im back at 5mbps land and my phone works at home now horray!!!

For me i am Happy but would be happier if the stuff was better implemented, seriously HTC no Hardware Acceleration for 2D or Browser, They could have just taken the stuff from CM and put in, Also Animations aren't that smooth, when i plug in via USB the screen responsiveness goes down. 3D is something i am loving. Woulf be happier if they had put in a 8mpx camera in there to go with a 5mpx or just 2 8mpx
This phone gives me a boner every time I turn the screen on.
Everything is pretty much perfect except for the green tint thing and I'm hoping they'll fix that with a future software upgrade. If not, it's still not a deal breaker for me.
Any ideas?
I was in TWRP at the main menu, instead of clicking power off, I pulled the battery to replace the sd card with another. Now it will not power up, when I plug it in..no red light?

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...

Soooo, how long did it take for this discoloration to go away? Because I just realized that I've got it too.
I only noticed it when I turned the brightness all the way up and played an episode of "Firefly" on Netflix to kill the battery. When the phone automatically turned off, the discoloration was very obvious against the whiteness of the splash screen. I usually keep the screen brightness fairly low to conserve battery, plus my wallpapers are rarely brightly colored. I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.
(And this is why I've never been an early adopter; I like for the bugs to be worked out before I buy something. Damn you, Verizon, for forcing me to an early upgrade.)

I believe this is spot due to heat. It will show up when I am messing with the phone a lot, but if I set it down or power it off it will go away. I am not surprised to see others are having the same issue, but I was a little surprised to see that the spots were in different locations. I figured there was an especially hot component house behind my spot.
Interesting...
I have two of these phones now with no issues. Must be some bad batches out there... *sigh* c'mon HTC, quality control.

I also cannot report having this issue. However, for the people who do have the issue, considering how cool this phone runs, I'm not sure general use would be enough to heat it up to a temperature that would affect the adhesive if that's the problem. Maybe leave the phone on the charger at max brightness on a white screen for a while?

The employees at Best Buy also thought it's due to heat. I honestly think it's just a few bad batches. I exchanged my phone at the same Best Buy where I originally purchased the phone, and second phone has the same discoloration in the same exact spot as the first phone. I plan on exchanging my phone one last time before the 30 day exchange period is up and hopefully the batch in stock at that time won't have this issue.

On two occasions I tried watching a few shows on Netflix on full brightness for at least an hour. After the hour was up, the discoloration was definitely more visible; there was no lessening of the spots. Perhaps I didn't run it long enough.

I think we should start taking pictures and circling the spots. I will post mine later tonight. If it is indeed some screen defect or adhesive problem, that could explain why it was happening in different spots (if it is) If the heat spots are clustered in one area, maybe there is some specific component producing heat in that area that is discoloring it locally.

Yeah, I had the same thought about the components. I'll try and take a picture later this evening.

Agreed, best phone I've had in a while.

i've got one coming in the mail, but im worried about a couple things people dont like. I'm wondering how you guys are dealing with them. i hear the speakerphone isnt too good, are you guys using volume boost or some kind of app to make it louder. im also hearing people are having issues with knock on, having to do it 3 or 4 times before the screen comes on.
i think my biggest concern, and its not an actual problem with the phone. is LGs drop in value so fast, ill probably play it with for a week and stick with my s4 till the phones done dropping in price in about a month.

Coming from the Droid Incredible, then the Galaxy Nexus, then this - well, the tech has come a long way. I should probably post this in a separate thread, but do the buttons being on the back bother anyone? Because they don't bother me at all. I was a little surprised actually.
its good to hear that from more and more people. i imagine when you click on the back button it pushes the phone forward because of the force it takes the push the button but sounds like no ones having an issue with it.
I also love this phone

Speakerphone & call quality works fine for me, but each person seems to have diff exp when it comes to them. Honestly, this phone could produce NO SOUND and i'd prolly STILL use it, lol
as for Knock On, it takes a few awhile to a) realize you have to tap on a "clear spot" on any homescreen, not over an icon or you will launch it, little bit of learning curve, ppl soooo exaggerate... b) it seems to respond MUCH better to 'tap" from fingertips, not a "knuckle"...And most imp, if you find always, "looking for a cleared area to tap" to turn your device off, just double tap anywhere up by notifications, and it works EVERYTIME!
Do not be worried, within 10 minutes of opening the box, i can almost guarantee you will be totally sold on this phone...
Those "negative Nellies" are prolly the type that HAVE to find something to complain about...Every forum has 'em!

I don't really use speaker phone so I can't comment, Bluetooth has worked well for me though. As far as knock on, if I have had my screen off for a long time, I find one initial touch and then doing knock on works 100 percent of the time.
And I actually like lg's keyboard! No one has mentioned it.

Yeah the speaker is a little weak in my opinion. Other than the HTCone i would say that all phone speakers are mediocre.. some are just a little better and some a little worse... I would say the lg g2's speaker is in the middle.. and if anything a little worse.. still it works and does the job for me. As far as Knock on/off .. It's a fantastic feature.. if the screens been off for 20-30 minutes it works the first try.. if it's been hours since you've touched your phone it seems like it takes 2 sets of knocks.. not a big deal though.. awesome feature! I've been transferring info/data/progs from my gs2 the last couple days and have noticed myself knocking on the GS2.. pretty funny but it's seems natural even after the first day!
Love the LG keyboard, I was using a leaked version on a rooted Optimus G and its the best kb I've used and it comes with 4 skins I believe. Knock on and off is imo the best feature out of all that any company has come up with in the last batch of flagships. I'm talking dynamic notifications, and always listening crap. Also nice to see they use the only feature I actually used on my old S4, smart screen to detect your still looking at screen and display stays on. I love the drag up feature to access quick access items, they added tons of options to the launcher more in line with an aftermarket one to a degree with icon changing, screen transitions and such.
Speaker isn't the worst, but it isn't the best either. Scale of 1-10 I would give it a 6 in accordance with my experience with other phones. It's very usable but won't win any awards for speaker sound, like the HTC One.
As far as knock on; when the screen is on, "tap off" works flawlessly when tapping the bar on the top or any open unused area on the screen. When "tapping on" the phone I tap three times and it works every time. Sometimes double tap doesn't work the first time when the screen is off.

Speaker volume for both media and speakerphone can be fixed if u r rooted. Its pretty easy. There is a xda thread on how to do this.

Anyone else usb cable go in so snug that it is a pain to pull out? I'm with T-Mobile, I mean its in their so tight I could use it to rappel with as in toss the phone end onto a building ledge and then climb up the cable.
I have the Verizon version and it does fit very snug.

Yes. It actually pulls my BodyGlove case off. LOL I'm on the AT&T variant and I'm guessing the pins will get worn down a bit after a while.
