so for the passed couple week my evo been making phone calls by its self .it was funny seening it dial random number. But the other day i was at the movies and it called every one in my phone book while it was in sleep mode. I took it to sprint and told them this was happening and look at me crazy . so they did some test on it .and sure enough my screen was going out on the bottom . but they said they had to wait till they had a replacement phone for me . so i been with a half touch for a week now .any one else had this problem
you were probably hAxor3d. hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cause they rapin erry body
Your phone had a poltergeist. Take it to a priest. Not sprint. That's were you messed up
My friends wife has this same problem with her 3d. It can just be chilling in the table and it will turn on and start calling people.

That, and, 3D sense would be pointless because it wood look terrible (all pixely and stuff) and it would have to be in landscape view.
Well I was saying that more because his comment insinuated that none of the roms are any good... Meaning the ones that all the guys in the dev section have developed? Or what? Pretty dumb comment when A. He hasnt even used any of them and B. Its a slap in the face to the hours these guys spend building them. I have used/tested just about all of them, and my phone was a million times better than it was out of the box with every one of them. People need to think before they post.

I'm on my second 3d for this exact same reason. Often the phone would start moving\deleting apps off my home screen lol. It would also send a lot of gibberish text messages as I'd watch swiftkey just run away with words that I wasn't typing lol.
Sprint also had to order me a replacement but I got it in just 2 days

Im just tired of people making such a big deal about cm7. All cm7 is plain android. Yes it was nice and fast on the old evo. But now it time for something different. We have the tech to make sense 3d it would be so nice. cobraboy85 if you like something other than sense on the evo 3d good for you. maybe u should of got the nexus s 4g then.
I totally lucked out tonight. I HTC unlocked my 1st (you can see where this is going) w/synergy nightly decided to die. Charge port went out. So my week old brand new EVO has been replaced by a hboot 1.3 "recertified" phone. All I know is, the 3d has not been as cool as u thought. Need an opinion. Have a trade for sg2 lined up. Thoughts.

My problem with Samsung phone they don't know how to keep up to day . The epic 4g still has 2.2 thats sad . That phone came out after the EVO and the EVO has 2.3.3 . With having a HTC phones they will b always updated (except the hero)

I am perplexed by this post.......
I either just got trolled (my guess),
or this is a kid. (my second guess).
A couple things, anyway, just for the S&G's.... :
First, THIS:
"All CM7 is (sic) plain Android."
Um, yeah, and that's all you should want it to be:
**Straight up-blazing-fast-small-rommed-custom-kerneled-Android, BUT, with a ****load of "extra customization options" that are very carefully painted on top.
(That sounds pretty much like a perfect situation to me.)
Then, THIS:
"We have the tech to make sense 3d, it would be so nice."
Oh, really... DO WE have the tech?
One question...
(and this is only if you assume that bloated memory-hog called Sense could actually be "ported into 3D")
Where in the world would you put it?
With the standard, (not-even-a-full-version) of a Stock HTC Evo3d Sense 3.0 Rom weighing in at like 700 Megs, how big do you think a fully 3-d, re-drawn, optimized version would come in at?
3 gigs? 4 gigs? 10?
You're on the wrong phone (or the wrong planet) if you wanna start discussing the development or even the possibility of a 3+Gigabyte Rom.
Sheesh.
I have gone through 9 replacements trying to get the right phone over the last couple of months and am getting tired of it, what's everyone's opinion about switching to the nexus? I have to admit CM9* and MIUI are a big plus.
i just got a nexus and i love it, battery life seems alot better too. i will say the design of the rezound is better though.
I traded my nexus for my rezound a while ago and never looked back.
love this phone.
the nex is nice, but sense is what I like, I also found the overall build to be better on the rezound, (usually is with HTC..)
I came from a nexus for 2 reasons... 1) The radios are terrible on the Nexus. In my house, my wife has a Thunderbolt and I had the Nexus. Side by side, she would have 3 or 4 bars of 4G, me on the Nexus, like 2 bars of 3G or 1x. also the build quality is much superior to the Nexus. 2, I Luke the challenge of rooting lol. I had a Rezound before but I never rooted it. Traded for the GNex when it came out. I feel its an overall better experience with my rezound. If Ur looking to easily root and have a plethora of dev support, get the Nexus. If u like better radios and built quality, stick with the Rezound.

I traded my GNex for a Rezound and the only thing I missed was ICS. This was my first Sense phone and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Turns out I really like it. Weird that you've had 9 lemons.. Mine has been flawless

I partially agree although I haven't had the best experience with the build quality on the rezound....
Traded my nexus for a rezound also. Gnex battery life sucks, camera sucks, and the phone is to big to hold in hand.

this(except for the liking sense part ).
i traded my gnex for a dev rezound(and then an s-off method popped up )
ive actually got 2 of them.since i could s-off my first one, i keep the dev phone put up for emergencies.
ive found the rezound to be of the same quality as all other htc phones ive had. i drive for a living,and my phone rides around all day with me,sometimes getting to 120+ degrees if i leave it on the seat in the sun. ive flashed it,s offed it twice, flashed the crap out of it some more,dropped it,and in general abused the crap out of it.
i loved stock ICS and wanted to love the gnex since it it googles proprietary phone,but to me it felt cheap and plasticy.

I have NEVER sent a phone back due to pink buttons, no matter how much I dislike them. The first four were when I first got the phone, since I came from a droid charge and was comped this I got a refurb. First one had dead pixels, second one had the hissing audio jack, third one had a giant scratch on the screen, fourth one had a blown speaker, the fifth one was just right. Fast forward five months my "just right" phone would go through an extended and a stock battery in 12 hours, completely stock, never unlocked. I was annoyed and got a replacement. The first replacement was fine for a week and then went nuclear on my battery (literally got so hot that the stock battery bloated (yes I know that means the battery also went bad) It almost did the same thing to my extended as well. Fast-forward to yet another phone and this time battery as well, everything seems fine except for the giant scratch on the screen, I swear ti was in the same spot as the one from five months before. Then the next phone, got it, s-off'd it, working perfectly for two days except for pink buttons but **** it, and then I realized I've never made a call with it. Called my father and sure enough the damn speaker is broken, yes I tried on different ROMS and completely stock just to make sure, I know what a blown speaker sounds like. Now I'm on the ninth phone which seems okay for now but I'm still endlessly frustrated with the damn things. Plus I love MIUI. I just wish the build quality was better on the gnexus and I hate samsung's placement of ****ing buttons. It's like they expect you to have the hands of a 4 year old and be able to hit the awkward side button while it's in your hand.
I think everyone who leaves this phone just to get AOSP is crazy... Eventually it will come. In the meantime, there are lots of great roms to try out in the meantime. If you have other problems, I completely understand. But cmon.... Just for a rom?

I mean it's all about opinion. I could see me leaving a Samsung phone if I wanted sense more or aosp if it wasn't available.

i agree completely. im not a sense fan either,but IMO this is still good harware and worth the wait. like you said,lots of great roms in the mean time. scotts dev edition is an awome "best of both worlds" rom with the ICS theme,no sense launcher or widgets,yet the "prettiness" of the stock menu and pulldown. im enjoying it alot.
it helps that i can run a pretty functional cm9 on my sensation while i wait

Completely agree, their bootloader is WAY less fun. At least, if it's anything like the fascinate and the charge it consists of a down arrow with a yellow android that looks pretty while you use odin to flash everything since their bootloader is half-assed.
I also would like to say that I do love our devs, and this is not meant and is not me being frustrated with them, simply my luck with regards to getting a functioning device which has lead to a lot of frustration. Regardless of if I switch I still have another rezound that I have access to and can use whenever so I will still be active in this community... I am simply asking the opinions of people who have or have had both devices (IE Scotty). Hell I would take a shot at deving if I had the time, I have experience with linux and coding in Java and Lua. Anyway I do understand the frustration when people post things like the "HAHA I SOLD MY REZOUND *****ES" thread (my translation of the title) where they seem to be bragging/flaming rather than actually trying to consult the community.
I would like to say I don't particularly appreciate the assumptions that my devices could not have possibly needed to be replaced that many times legitimately. I just have had terrible luck with the replacements themselves, almost all have arrived defective if you read my explanation above. I have never bricked a phone and I'm not particularly fond of some of the stories where people go "ops I bricked it, lawls, hey Verizon my phone is dead send me a new one because I ****ed the damn thing up and enjoy committing fraud."

its a little better than that. you can use fastboot to do a few things,but it was still pretty devoid of any user interface,unlike hboot. radios were flashed in recovery. you unlock it pretty much just like the rezound,with exception that you dont need a token just fastboot oem unlock anhd voila you have access to everything.
Hey guys,
I'm interested in the Amaze and I've got some questions! I currently have a G2x and am pretty disgusted that it's reached its EOL status already even though it's more than capable of running ICS. Besides, the battery life was just awful (can't make it through 2 whole days) and I like the larger screen, better processor, and more RAM of the Amaze.
Since it's by HTC, I can assume that when Jelly Bean comes along, the Amaze will be receiving it officially, right? If not, has there been any history with getting the drivers that are needed to do unofficial development? There are lots of unofficial ICS ROMs for the G2x but there's no hardware acceleration and the battery life is terrible on those (can't even make it through a single day).
How's the battery life on the Amaze? How many days of use can you make it through without having to charge the device? As long as its like 1.5 days I'll be satisfied. I just don't want the "15% of battery remaining" messages if I just charged the device the night before.
It has a Micro SD card slot, right?
Would I need a screen protector or is the screen very scratch-resistant?
Any other problems I should know about that are common with the phone? Please be HONEST! lol.
Thanks, brosephs!

I have no idea on the official update.
For me, 1.5 days is the maximum for battery life. But, it usually is enough for a day in general (except when I use lots of GPS and play games).... YMMV though (some people claimed they get the phone up for 2 days)
Yes, it has micro SD card slot.
Just go get a screen protector... Better be safe than sorry
Some common problems can be found in this forum... The most popular one is: light bleed!!!
Honestly though, the reason I get the Amaze is because I was able to get it for a relatively cheap price (compared to samsung s2, etc) and the better camera
First off and take it how you will, but most of the info you are looking is on the spec list.
Battery life on any large screen device won't last 1.5 days with heavy use.
Haven't these same questions been asked a billion times?

Really? That's exactly the kind of answer I was hoping I wouldn't get. Oh well. At least you guys have ICS lol. I don't want to buy new so that I can save some money so the SGS3 is out of the question. It's basically either stick with the G2x until the prices on even better phones drop, or buy the Amaze and deal with the battery issue. I won't mind terribly if I don't get more than a day's use out of it. All I really do is check the news in the morning and text a few times throughout the day and then check some sites, browse some forums, and watch some videos in the evening. I think it'll be alright for that kind of use.

About the Amaze. WIFI calling issues, er05 common. Nice scratch resistant screen. The devs that take good care of us are working hard at picking up all the slack that Tmobile and HTC left with issue. I own one as my daily phone. using speedrom as my daily driver. Jellybean is not going to be on the Amaza as a OTA. We were lucky to get ICS. White one is out of stock and Tmobile told me they are done. I enjoy the phone cause of replaceable batt, ext. sd card, screen and camara.
Just one persons opinion

I think it's a great device, coming from the galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus, battery life isn't the best, but I get a days worth, the camera is pretty awesome, what I liked was the camera buttons, I wanted my sd card, reason why I jumped ship from the Nexus. So as I always say, it's all down to personal preference.

It's the best phone with its specs imho
I would stay saw too sorry to say. It is a great device and I still don't regret choosing this over the GS2. Great hardware for the future and the few ROMs and Devs that we are lucky to have are fantastic. But for a more "fun" device to tinker with... I would wait for something better or get a device that has global support and the devs to back it up.

Lol. It's gonna be at least a year until that falls into my price range for now. I'll stick with my G2x and MIUI for now. I just really wanted ICS and some spec bumps while i was at it. :/ Maybe I'll consider the HTC Sensation depending on how the 'lite' version of the Sense 4.0 ROM turns out.

As I said, personal preference, for me the following are worth getting the amaze for compared to the G2x:
Better Camera (wayyyyyyy better camera, this thing is amaaaazing, pun intended)
Faster processor and faster phone over all.
Better design and solid feel.
FM radio, unlike the g2x which has fm radio but tmobile had it disabled.
More internal memory 16GB>8GB, like really, that's obvious.
faster data speeds 42mbps>21mbps
Should I say more?

Hey guys,
I'm interested in the Amaze and I've got some questions! I currently have a G2x and am pretty disgusted that it's reached its EOL status already even though it's more than capable of running ICS. Besides, the battery life was just awful (can't make it through 2 whole days) and I like the larger screen, better processor, and more RAM of the Amaze.
Since it's by HTC, I can assume that when Jelly Bean comes along, the Amaze will be receiving it officially, right? If not, has there been any history with getting the drivers that are needed to do unofficial development? There are lots of unofficial ICS ROMs for the G2x but there's no hardware acceleration and the battery life is terrible on those (can't even make it through a single day).
How's the battery life on the Amaze? How many days of use can you make it through without having to charge the device? As long as its like 1.5 days I'll be satisfied. I just don't want the "15% of battery remaining" messages if I just charged the device the night before.
It has a Micro SD card slot, right?
Would I need a screen protector or is the screen very scratch-resistant?
Any other problems I should know about that are common with the phone? Please be HONEST! lol.
Thanks, brosephs!

With ICS battery isn't so bad, but you need to be aware that the large screen eats up the battery. I get 18 hours to 1 day, but I don't have a heavy usage. I carry a spare battery (two in fact, because my case has that kind of room), just in case. But I've seldom had to use it since ICS came out. With heavy use you may not get through the day on a single screen. But at least you can swap out batteries (unlike the One S).
The MicroSd card is under the battery cover, which is why it isn't seen from the outside.
The phone is the best I've owned. I'm using NRG ICS, which is snappy and really nice.
It will not get Jelly Bean from T-Mobile. Maybe XDA will be able to port it, but don't count on that.

Samsung...never again
Not enough of a difference between the two imo, and I'll never buy another samsung again. I'll just hope there's some great phones in about a year from now
Against my own advice of buying a Nexus I am about to buy a Dinc4G off contract and simply because I broke my Dinc2 screen two times in a row...
How is the Dinc4G? Any issues (software or hardware glitches)? I want to ensure that it is a good phone. I know it has great specs, but that is half the story. The other half is living with it (and I learned from my experience with the Droid X2 and Transformer prime)..
So any issues at all? Or is it smooth sailing?
EDIT: OMG! I bought the phone!
Now please god, let me make up some of that cash from the Dinc2 sale.

i would say smooth sailing, well the sdcard thingy, but the only problem i have had is waiting for root.
I like mine. It's noticeably faster than the Incredible 2. I bought a 64GB SDCard from Amazon for $44.
I think you'd like it. S off is coming. I liked the og Inc better than my Inc 2 and the 4g reminds me of the first incredible. And you already know the devs are good ones.
---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------
One thing is my first 4g had about 10 dead pixels so I got a new one. The new one has some of the back light bleeding from the bottom bezel though but that's nbd to me
the form factor is closer to the og inc than inc2 (though not *That* different)
i have no complaints with mine, and plan on keeping it for a long time...even when the dlx/dna launches (ill just swap sims when i want use one or the other)

Hold on a sec! You said what now about SD cards? I guess it shouldn't be major issue but I'd like to hear moar!
I am about to finalize the deal and I don't wanna over think this. Yes, I was an idiot to drop my Dinc2 and crack the screen for a second time, and it cracked easily since I probably didn't install it properly first time around. And yes, it is gonna be expensive to go off contract, but anywho... i hope the resale value for the Dinc4G is good ones my upgrade comes around.... :/
Man, do I know how to waste good money . Anyway gang, I will shortly join you and we can continue our crusade of the missing OTA update for Key Lime Pie... (4.2, I guess, ain't it!)
Welcome back to the land of Dix! Thanks all! I hope I don't mess up my future phones like this... It is only after you drop and break a phone you realize that you have to treat these devices like babies... Don't Drop Them!
Personally, I like mine but the build quality has been questionable. I took my first one back after a day of use because the screen was discolored, used the next one for about a month with a creaky battery cover before a crack started forming at the headphone jack, and finally the one I have now seems acceptable. The only design annoyances I've found are that the camera lens clicks as it focuses (bad for video) and the buttons don't have much feedback. Reception could be better, but it generally works fine.
Other than that, good software, good screen, good battery life.

the sdcard issue is the internal sd, will not let you transfer apps to the extsd, but root might cure that, not sure. i think all the new phones have this issue as well.

This. Check out the original thread about the issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754248
I swapped out my DInc4G twice with Best Buy because of the screen discoloration issue. The last phone I received from Best Buy had the same issue and HTC was kind enough to exchange my phone for a new one. I'm currently on my third DInc4G. All was fine until a month ago when the screen discoloration appeared on my current phone. I may contact HTC again but I've been busy and don't feel like going through the hassle of setting up my phone again.
I haven't experienced any other issues with the phone. The battery life is great compared to my OG DInc, and once we get s-off, it will be an even better phone.

Haha, damn. I just bought it. Anyway, sounds like the screen discoloration issue is primarily due to the glue not having fully cured and all? And I was guessing this has solid build quality. Well, you always have a few bad ones, but I wonder if I activate a Dinc4G on my line and I have issues down the road, can I do a Certified replacement from Verizon?

That is an ICS issue, not specific to this phone. I'm hopeful there is a fix once rooted.

No probs with mine and I've had it for a few months now. Accessories are quite limited. Other than that, it's a great phone.
But I like the Rezound a little better. The email implementation feature wise isn't as good on the DINC 4G but it works well.
Enjoy your new toy! Now go get yourself a case!

Unrelated question, but performance wise is the Dinc4G better than the Gnex? Just curious, as I bought this over the Gnex as it has newer processor etc.

YEAH! I just got mine and already very happy. The 4G is the first thing to blow my mind! It is better than the WiFi speed I get at my room (though right next to the router, I should get exceptional WiFi)!
Now, get me up to speed, y'all! Is it okay to update to the latest OTA? And do we have root? Or should I just wait till the S-OFF rather than root it now? :cyclops: :fingers-crossed:
Cheers!

well, we are waiting on a s-off exploit, yes you need the new ota to run the exploit. i would wait for that if i were you, but i don't know how long it will be before it's released. that's about it.
Everybody is making goodbye threads so I guess I will join in on the fun.
I have the HTC One now and am loving it. All of you Rezound people should seriously consider it. Anyway, I still peek in here every now and then since I still have my rezound. It is just collecting dust now. So, good luck with the limited life this phone has left.
It has been one hell of a ride on the Rezound with it being my first smartphone. And with that, I'm off!

I trust your judgement..do you really think it's worth it to get the one? I've got a dumb phone with an upgrade and I've got unlimited so I'm not worried about that stuff..
My hesitance is because of the same thing everyone else says: basically I'll get a beautiful fast fun phone but I'll be stuck with the 32gb (which my Rezound has and has been kind of full lately (internal app space), also battery locked in (which might actually be comforting having less options), and last but not least..the camera...I know it's "decent" but I don't think it holds as much detail as the rez cam (I'm a photographer so I can be a little more picky than most people). Oh and re setting up 400+ apps won't be too fun. Maybe I'll tough it out till a updated version comes out? What do you think? I am kind of sick of having a warm brick in my pocket all the time. Thanks for all your contributions!

The One is a great phone to have. In your case though, you need more storage. 32 GB is more than enough for me and anything else I keep on a flash drive (One supports USB OTG). The camera is not as high-res as the Rezound but it is WAY better in low-light and captures more color.
The battery is great. But if you need more than 32 GB then you might have to pass.
Yeah, I've been on the fence about it for a while now. I think by the time I decide to do something there will be leaks of a better alternative. It's not the external memory (micro sd) I'm worried about so much. I think the rez has a little more than 2gb set aside for apps and that's where I'm starting to struggle.. there's also the screen on time I'm nervous about, I get almost 4 with my extended, I've heard it's around 6 with the One. They should just let us design their phones and fix their marketing campaign. Thank you for your input though. I'm still not in htc elevate either (hint hint). I hope everyone's doing well and putting their phones to good use.

Hello Morpheus! I too, used to be a rezound owner who switched to the HTC One.
And by God does the HTC one fly. You absolutely cannot compare the One to the rezound in ANY manner. I can play Asphalt 8 on the highest setting with zero lag, while on the rezound I will lag at least a few times per game on the lowest setting.
Camera in lowlight is stellar. Once again no comparison. I have actually managed to capture pictures of clouds at midnight, although the iso is noisy at night, it's still visible. (since your a photographer, shutter speed drops to 1/7, iso 2000, aperture 2.0)
Battery: comparing my stock rezound battery to the stock One battery, it's better on the one. I get a little over 3 hours of screen on time on the one Co pared to just barely or under 2 hours on the rezound. I rarely toggle 4g though now. The battery life feels as if it lasts 3 times longer though.

I'll take this time to hijack this thread. I've been sitting on my phone upgrade for quite some time now deciding between the GS4, One, then the G2 and then the Note 3. After the One got S-OFF yesterday, I immediately jumped on it and used an alternate upgrade to keep my unlimited data. Very happy with my purchase so far coming from a Rezound. Already flashed flyhalf's CM10 for the One and it's running smoothly (except I can't get a GPS lock for some reason ).
Thanks to all the hard work of all the developers for the Rezound making this phone a great experience.
