So this week I've discovered a hidden feature on my Rezound: it doubles as a portable pocket burner. Not sure if that is too be expected (having read through the other battery threads, it seems that 120°F is typical eye-bulge territory), but if it happens again i'll probably start the replacement phone process.
This happened off charger, just playing a high quality graphics game for 20 minutes.
Just seems a bit high to me, but any further insight is welcome. (as a comparison i've read on the Galaxy Nexus forums that a few folks are getting ancy at around the 120°F mark as well).
Maybe the Rezound is just has a poor design in reference to heat dissipation? Maybe I have a defect? I can live with it, so long as I know its not that big of a deal. I'd like to avoid waking up next to a phone shaped melt hole on my night stand.
Did you try frying any bacon or eggs on the screen?
Phone would triple as a portable skillet! Lol

That's 60 °c. That is way to hot for a phone. Hottest I have seen on my phone is 54°c 129°f

Hiyoooooo!
I haven't checked the hottest, but when I got up this morning it showed 38F and the screen kept fogging up.
I've never had a phone go past about 40°C. I haven't really pushed the rezound that hard yet, so I will try that later today.

If I remember correctly, I was using the new Onlive app for the temp in my OP (but it gets north of 125°F commonly on normal games). If you (or anyone else reading this) have that app, would you mind running it for few minutes & reporting back? It wouldn't surprise me if it played a role in tipping the temp over the edge (Onlive is a magical service // magic = power).

^^ Nice. This is what we all need to know. Can you do something fancy / intensive w/ your replacement phone for a few minutes and see if you can get it into bacon mode again? (gaming or streaming w/ 4G enabled, etc).
If we can confirm that "hot phone" is somehow a hardware issue, its warranty time.

For whatever reason, at random times, the media volume of my phone will just flat out mute. Once mute, I am unable to get it up, even through the sound settings, it'll just go back to mute. My only fix so far is to restart the phone, but it gets really annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anybody know why causes it? I did the whole increase volume thing with QPST and made the volume Lv4. I seemed as if everything worked correctly, but I noticed absolutely no change in volume =_=;
First suggestion, get another phone. I had the same problem...

I had it happen.. it happened a lot with my g2x... And anytime I ran cm7 I had to reboot... I'm guessing just a faulty media driver or something else as it doesn't happen often.
Try a to download a different media player (music only obviously) from the market
Or just reboot your phone and increase the media volume in the "settings"
Im sure if its a major bug the developer's will find a fix

My slider is perfect, it snaps and takes the right amount of effort to slide. I've had two of these phones because of a part number mixup, had the first one for an entire weekend and both are perfect, good slider, no dust, light leak or dead pixels.

Fix: Go into Sound settings and change the Sound profile to Normal (preferably before launching the game, but works after-the-fact too, if you forget). Mine defaulted to Vibrate, and it seems that this game is programmed to disable sound (only after the splash screen and intro video, go figure) if it detects this or the Silent profile. Now I can hear the game, for a change.

Hey fellow photon owners, looks like im the first to post on the photon boards hahahah jk....but seriously I traded in my evo 3d for this thing and couldn't be more happy. Its faster, has better reception, looks cooler, and just feels like an overall better phone.
Here's to hoping development for this phone takes off!!! Cheers!!
Edit : I guess in the midst of me posting 3 other threads have been created lol so I take back being the first to post
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Yea, I'm really liking it as well. I returned the EVO 3D because I was having signal strength issues and this seems to be MUCH better. The EVO 3D would get 0-1 bar in my office while the Photon is picking up 3-4. So hopefully I'll see an improvement in the battery life since it won't constantly be searching for a signal.
I haven't had a chance to watch any Netflix or HBO Go movies yet so I hope those stream well. I've played a few games which played well. I do like the Motorola text messaging app.
So far, so good
All we need now is for a dev to jump on board and see exactly how locked down this phones bootloader really is

I'm thinking if this device can become a popular upgrade for those coming from an ogEVO, then the development will come as well. If so, this device will get rooted one way or another.
All going to depend on how popular this is. Only thing I can see slowing it down are the peeps holding out for the Within.

It will have a Menu at the top of the screen that gives one option at a time...basically it cycles to the next option when you press volume down key.
So with phone powered off...hold vol down + power, continue to hold til you see the splash screen for Moto, and White text at very top middle. Will say Fastboot. From there, you can cycle thru the other options using Down Vol, Up Vol will select current action.

I'm one of those peeps. I decided to wait for the Within to come out so I could compare side-by-side with the Photon and the E3D to decide which of the three phones are closest to what I really want. I would love the Photon but am worried about the Pentile display. I would love the Within but am not happy about 800x480 screen resolution and like the Photon's world phone/business features. Love HTC as a maker and prefer Sense to Blur/TouchWIZ but don't like the 3D screen - you may be able to turn it off but it is not as good a screen as it would be if 2D. The layer that makes it 3D-capable affects 2D viewing too.

On the evo 3d only thing 3d which is a option is pictures & video's. So if you want the 3d but worried about it on its only a option. On certain rom's if your rooted, I guess there a option for 3d homescreen, that's only certain rom's though & again just a option.

Oh and I am LOVING this phone. I did a factory reset and it is even faster than before!! The battery life will straighten itself out in a few days as my Evo 4G and Vibrant(2.3.3 dev rom) did. Seems that the OS wants to run like crazy for the first few days then it settles once all the caches and optimization's are done. But big screen Wiimote gaming last night was awesome!! just have to setup all the buttons.

In a few days it'll get better. I am not sure what it is with gingerbread but all three phones with gingerbread on it have done this. I never seen that on Froyo.
Anybody feel their amaze getting really really warm, almost hot? Kinda makes me not wanna use my phone a lot just because the heat might mess it up.
This happens around 15 mins of usage.
I haven't had that issue even under heavy use like games, videos, and web.
It may be an app or apps constantly running. Do you check your task manager often? U may have to kill some apps. Also is it charging when you use the phone? I know it gets hot quickly that way.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Really depends on what's running. When you first initialize the phone it's going to get hot as it syncs and updates everything but that should pass. If you have location enabled and use the gps, it will get hot, if you use maps and the screen is on, it will get hot...just check it for whats running and delete whats unnecessary. Of course I'm waiting for the root to really delete the crapware.
My amaze has been overheating it feel's like it's on fire randomly sometimes , even when im not on apps .
Mine gets really hot too.. not quite but almost too hot to touch. It's not even plugged in when it happens and its just from playing music it charging.. no heavy usage. Hopefully it'll disappear once we get some roms with no bloatware!
Yeah I experience overheating last night. This is by far the worst ive come accross on any phone. I may go to t mobile and look at the galaxy s2. I love this phone but too many problems for me

Yeah, both phones are great. Its just with finding the right fit for you. I chose GS2 because I figured we would have a larger dev community, its lighter because of its plastic design and Super Amoled+. The downside of this phone is its resolution, but I don't notice it that much for it to be a big con. I heard some people actually rather the hefty-ness of the Amaze. I'm not gonna lie I love the design quality of it. HTC is always known for gorgeous designs.

you also have to remember 2 things though.... 1) the unibody designs always conduct the heat to the outside of the phone, although its operating at the same temp of most phones, the reason you notice it with the newer htc models is cause you can actually feel the heat cause of the unibody... 2) the sammys are all plastic, which doesnt conduct heat too well, so although its getting hot inside, you dont feel it. they both prob run at close if not the same temps, but you can just notice it more on the htc... thats all.

Hi,
So as the title states i have 0 data [3G/LTE]..
Background:
This afternoon my rezound went dead and wouldn't charge.
So after 6 hours on the charger and no turning on my girlfriend came home with her rezound. i popped the battery in and it started right up except it wouldnt boot all of the way.
After a few tries i wiped and tried again. Still no go. So i wiped and went to flash a backup and sdcard wouldnt mount. After a few unsuccessful tries on device and computer i pressed reformat. That got the SD working.
I downloaded a few roms both ICS and GB wiped and installed. None will provide me mobile data. It sees wifi networks just fine.
My girlfriend has both LTE and 3G and i have full cell bars.
WTF!?

Well this sounds to me like a phone specific problem. I've heard of people's batteries going dead and not charging again, but I've never heard of no data before. If I were you I'd take it back to verzion. I heard they're offering people galaxy nexuses as replacement phones for people who have problems with their rezound!
Hope I helped!

Meh. I agree that Sense sucks, but the Rezound is clearly the better piece of hardware, and the software will come.

I agree with all this is why im for the most part happy with the device. Its just that bit. If VZW wants to exchange for the nexus ill take it. If not.... no sweat on my back.

Well it's not like you can just walk in and just exchange you're rezound for a gnex. You have to actually have something wrong with your rezound for that to ocurr.

No need to troll here, bro.
And I know what you mean. Sense is too heavy of a skin for me. And HTC makes me mad because they put out a flagship phone and then like a month later they make a better version of it and make you feel like your device is obsolete.

IM not trolling I had a no data issue leaving work and was going to mention it. The only way I fixed it was a full reboot. Also after I rebooted I was stuck in cdma prl. Changed it to cdma/lte and it started working. The weird thing was it said data was on but no 1x 3g or 4g. Toggled everything and nothing helped cept the reboot.
Also atleast HTC doesn't make you wait for over a year for a barely updated version of the same thing and make you feel like you need it (Apple)

I disable sense and use go launcher and go SMS.
The nexus just feels so cheap.

Wow. Well I'd just take it to a Verizon rep at one of their stores and see what they have to say because the battery problem is definitely a recurring problem with other rezound users. I don't know about the no data problem though. I've heard of people constantly dropping data, but I've never seen someone who doesn't have it at all.

I have been using my Rez as a dashcam for a few months since getting the S4 and during the last cold snap it killed it. I walked out to the car and it appeared to be charging, then tried to power on and it kicked the bucket. No lights, sounds, nothing. Tried swapping batteries, and still can't get it to respond. Oh well, RIP Rezound.

Oh, I definitely don't want to trash it. I would like to get it back up and running so I don't have to buy an actual dashcam.

If you don't mind me asking, what app are you using with it to make it a dash cam?
