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.

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?

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:

I was able to get any phone with Verizon (work), it was either the Rezound or Nexus S. I choose the Rezound with the signal issues people were having with the GNx.
I have had the phone for 3 days now, fully rooted, and love it. Plus the $100 headphones are a nice bonus
I will say, Samsung phones have a screen that beats out every other phone I have seen. Their colors are just awesome. I believe they use some different type of LCD technology, at least someone told me that.
I had the GNEX for about a week, I traded my iphone4 16gb + cash for it, and it just wasn't for me, no matter how hard I tried. It was too big, the signal was just horrible. At home, I would be at around -80-90dBm while with the Rezound I am at -69-79dBm just like I was with my Inc2.
The picture is nice on the GNEX, but the screen scratches very easily, and the auto brightness was unusable, so that ate the battery up quite fast for me.
I was very happy to find someone to trade their Rezound for the GNEX.
HTC Sense is amazing. I like to have the mobile data, or wifi turn off while the phone is at sleep state, with the GNEX I couldn't even get one day out of the battery but the Rezound I can do a day and a half easily thanks to this.
Beats audio is great, and the headphones kick butt.
The Rezound is a very well built machine, HTC unlocked the bootloader and with the guarantee of ICS coming, that just adds the extra cherry on top!
Not that anyone cares, but I'm wondering if I'm one of the few that purchased a dinc 4g on release day and later exchanged for a gs3. After having the dinc 4g for a little over a week, I just felt that it had VERY little of anything extra over the original dinc that I was carrying, and the excitement really faded quickly.
I'm sure pretty soon I'll grow really tiresome of touchwiz and the extra gimmicky samsung stuff on the phone and will take some time to learn how to root and mod the phone.

Sure there is not much difference between the orig dinc and the inc4g, but I would say there is even less difference between the inc4g and the SG3.
They are running the same CPU and GPU. The cameras are different hardware but I think they are about the same. Inc4g seems to have a better lens but the SG3 MAY have a better sensor/chip.
I guess it depends on opinion.
I would say if you like a larger screen and/or TouchWiz, the the GS3 is the right phone. If you like a smaller screen and/or sense, than the Inc4g is the right phone. Otherwise I don't see much else to compare.

Exactly, I sold my Rezound and used my upgrade on this phone because it has a 4' display and I don't see Verizon matching anything close to that soon. I am in high hopes that HTC comes out with a new phone that isn't large than 4.3
any larger than 4.3' is no longer a phone to me. and I personally cannot use it.
I really love this phone.:good:

im weird with screen sizes: 4.0 is perfect for me phone wise...but...i could see myself getting a note sized device as a hybrid so i dont need to have a tablet too
would get annoyed when using it to actually talk on the phone, but id deal w/ the trade off
I was considering doing this exchange in OP but i can't stand physical keys. Only majpr gripe with inc4g is that they made the screen narrower and taller instead of keeping the same ratio, but o understand this is due to qhd resolution.
Oh, and creaky battery cover bothers me too.

The Droid Incredible 4G LTE is a great phone. It's the perfect form factor at only 4 inches with a nice-sized and nice-looking display. 1GB of RAM is the current standard, which it has, and it supports microSD cards, which is no longer the standard but should still be. It runs Ice Cream Sandwich stock, and we're about to have S-OFF so we can install anything we want on it. I never lose connection to the network, and Wi-Fi works great at a decent range. There's nothing currently available that I would take over this phone.

I would not say it is outdated. However, how much you like it will depend on what you want in a phone. I bought the Dinc4g on release day and with the exception for no root (yet), I am happy with it.
The rest of my family have the Rezound. This phone is smoother, faster and smaller. All plusses for me. I want the 4" screen. They like the Rezound's bigger screen, but their battery life is awful.
With root right around the corner, this phone promises to be even better.

I went from a T-Bolt on VZW, to Sensation on TMOus and back to a DINC4 on VZW.
I was scared about speed and battery coming from those two phones.
Within a few days that was laid to rest.
Even with the factory bloat, it is faster and the battery lasts longer.
I too, coming from two prior 4.3 inch screen phones, like this form factor better than it's larger counterparts.
Very, very happy we made the switch.
Excited about S-Off, but this phone is a great device for me. I only want S-OFF to remove bloatware to be honest...and to get rid of the WiFi Nag.
Otherwise, out of the box this phone's a winner.

I too came from the Rezound as I sold mine, then bought this phone on my two year contract.
I love the size of this phone, it's perfect, IMO.
The INC2 is the same size 4', but this phone is more of a candy bar shape, much like the INC1, which I prefer.
As much as I feel it may be weird not being able to pull the battery when needed, I wish that this phone was made like the One Series phones, specifically the OneS, I love the build quality on the One S.
The Inc4 I use with no case and no screen protector and I don't feel nervous with it so it is built pretty nice, but IMO the INC2 is a bit more solid, especially the away the back door was on the INC2, on the INC4 it's pretty easy and squeaks a bit due to this. Nothing that was going to keep me from buying this phone though
I'll be on this phone for two years. I'll most likely end up using my brothers upgrade for the Incredible DIX and let him take my next upgrade. but I'll be on the Inc4 mainly even so as I couldn't use a 5' phone for a daily, it'll pretty much be my tablet, lmao.
I switched to Verizon a week ago from sprint and a nexus s 4g. I picked the RAZR M because sprint wouldn't repair a faulty refurb they sent me so I needed a phone. The RAZR m was cheap and seemed really solid. In fact its a great phone. However I am of the mindset if you're on Verizon and have the funds go for the DNA. Since Verizon extended their return policy I can use Christmas money and return this. My only concerns with the DNA are
1. Battery life -my RAZR m which gets great life has almost the same size battery.
2. Support -moto is owned by Google and updates are being churned out fast, HTC however has a history of not supporting. The DNA is future proof spec wise but will HTC support.
3. Build quality- after switching to moto build quality has become important. Kevlar back aluminum body etc. Are all present in my "mid range" phone
4. Roms -with my RAZR I've excepted lack of ROMs and dev support, but almost stock makes this acceptable. Sense however is tolerable, but heavy. I could deal with it but would look to replace it later with AOSP
5. Memory-7 the 8gb isn't cutting it , I need the 16gb.
Can anyone who has a DNA or experience with one speak on these? Thanks
Sent from my RAZR M using xda app-developers app
Memory is actually 11gb
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
After you root the DNA and flash a new ROM you'll have about 11 gigs for whatever your needs. Many users are reporting that they are not having problems with the battery life, so I think you'll find it acceptable. The DNA has top notch build quality--most HTC phones do. Just go to a Verizon store and check it out. You'll be pleasantly surprised. As far as getting AOSP is concerned, I wouldn't hold your breath just yet. It could happen down the road
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
1. Battery life is much better than most reviews say. will last me more than the whole day. Especially with cubed kernel
2. Roms will cover updates
3. the build quality on this phone is amazing! i love the feel of it
5. There's already a few good Roms on the phone, and from what i can see the devs are very talented and will bring lots more roms to this phone!
6. Memory, this phone is advertised with 16 gigs. Stock its 11 gigs available. But once you debloat it becomes closer to the 16 gig mark
I hope HTC doesn't skip us out of future upgrade this phone is to beast to do that.

I think I'll collect my earnings for Christmas, then gauge from there . If I have the difference I'll pull the trigger, if not oh well It sounds extremely pleasing to own.
Sense is a lot less resource hungry than what it was. Couple that with 2gb of RAM and a quad core, you're not going to get lag.
The build quality of the DNA is amazing. It as a very solid feel and is definitely durable.
In all honesty the battery is nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. sure, it doesn't get the maxx life but its a 2,020mAh and given that it uses a 5" 1080p screen the battery life "fits." even if HTC doesn't update often the developers will certainly pick up the slack.

This phone is solid as they come in build quality, love the solid feel of it in my hand...that's what she said.
I've had a bad experience with motorola and updates. The photon 4g for sprint is still stuck on gingerbread and will never be updated passed that. The phone was on a list to get ics but moto canned it.

Yea I'm aware of moto's ****ty history with updates and with lock bootloaders that puts you @ verizon's mercy. But HTC is pretty bad as well. t's just that the Dev community is so exciting for the DNA it won't be an issue. With my razr M however I have practically no reason to visit XDA anymore lol. This is a reason for me contemplating the switch, the deep community behind it. Not Nexus S deep, but enough to satisfy.
Great phone
I won my phone thanks to HTC's ambassador program (you can read about it on htcsource dot com) and I love it! Today was a good testament to the battery as I was out shopping with my wife most of the day and am about to finally plug it in. My previous phone was a One S so I was somewhat already used to the limited amount of storage, but I do think to myself sometimes that 32GB is a much amount. I would love to carry more music since I don't have the luxury of free WiFi at work. The storage had yet to be a deal breaker for me, because there are so many other perks to this phone. I absolutely love the possibilities with NFC and the screen size is freaking awesome to look at.
I say go for it!
After only having Moto smartphones for the last few years, I've never experienced HTC. How are they with their updates?
I know with Moto the updates were taking ages, but looking back it was a little fun trying this and that to get things to work. I forget the saying, but it's something about enjoying the trip more than getting to the destination.

if you have a verizon phone, your updates will take ages, period. moto, htc, samsung, doesn't matter. verizon is who dictates when the updates go out, and they're ALWAYS last.
I got to hold and play with a DNA the other day and man does it feel nice in hand. Top notch build quality, super fast and that screen is amazing. Makes me jealous I'm not due for an up grade but the DNA will definitely get more support and roms than the RAZR simply because moto is so hell bent on locking down their devices

Ya, that's what I'm afraid of because this is a Verizon phone.
Well, once someone figures out our s-on problem we will have the hardware to handle anything.

honestly though, coming from a guy who roots everything, i'm really enjoying the phone stock. i wihs i were rooted so that i could remove the wifi nag and make the recent apps button into a menu button, but other than that, this thing rocks stock.

Just a quick fyi to help you enjoy stock better. Just long press the wifi notif and press app info then just force stop it. The annoying notif will be gone til you reboot.
The rommer in me is not satisfied.

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.

Thanks Neo for your dedication to ROMing for this phone. Desensed then AOSP. I've been on your ROMs for over a year exclusively. I appreciate it!
