Another rezzy down.... - HTC Rezound

Well after receiving 3 clnr rezounds for signal problems my current one I believe has a bad proximity sensor. I was on the phone with Verizon today for a while and the tech offered to replace it with a incredible 4g or a razor. Now I know there is like zero development for the Inc and close to that for the razor so my question is what would ya'll do? Or would I be better off trying another rezzy? I do like this phone besides all the problems I've had.

Quit returning working phones. Quit looking at your bars. That is what I would do. The proximity sensors for our phones can be adjusted. Play store app called Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator.
Not trying to be rude but I see posts like these all the time where guys have returned 10 phones for various "problems". Interesting when I know of at least 10 people with Rezounds in my group of friends and family and nobody has had to return one.

it seems to be hit and miss. my first rez i bricked. the "replacement" one i received had a dead headphone jack from factory my latest one VZW had zero adhesive on the top of the screen leading to its death about a week ago. this time VZW said that the screen was my problem and that i would need to go the insurance route. i took it apon myself to repair it and order a new glass and LCD.
i wish i would have never bricked my first one. it was the only one without problems. all replacements from VZW have been crap. :/

The problem I was having with signal was lack thereof. The phone would show good signal but I couldn't make phone calls or use my data for a few minutes up to an hour or so. I have three other people with vzw smartphones in my household which would work fine.
The phone I currently have had none of those issues. I've tried the recalibration tools and it didn't work.

i blame this one the antenna in the back. if i remember correctly my replacements never came with a back i had to reuse them. i think this was the dumbest idea they had.

I never quite understood the reasoning behind that. I couldn't see the benefit of it. A friend has the iPhone 4, I believe he said the chrome piece around the whole phone was the antenna. That's a smart design, exterior antenna that looks good also. But I'm sure if any other manufacturer tried anything similar, lawsuit would arise.

Yeah that is strange being my issues were related to the signal. Verizon tech support and I always did lots if trouble shooting before sending a new one out but the never even brought up the back cover as a possible culprit. It would have been a lot cheaper to send one of them out to try versus a new phone.
Well I do have a update on my replacement phone. I called back again and explained to the tech support guy that I do not want a razor and that I really need a screen larger than the Inc. He said ok let me see what I can do and then offered me a Samsung intuition or a LG stratosphere 2 or something like that. Told him probably not cause the sammy had a 4 inch screen and the LG just looked butt ass ugly to me. He the put me on hold again and offered me a razor maxx and again I said I don't like Motorola. Then I brought up the dna and he put me on hold again and came back and said he got that approved for my replacement.
It should be here tomorrow afternoon so I guess we'll see how it performs. I really do dislike changing phones all the time.
Thanks for all your input!!

Yeah I know that they are not and all I want for a phone on a plan that I pay a lot of money for is one that I do not have trouble with every couple months. The dna does seem to be pretty solid from what I've seen.
I sure hope it does too. Which I will have to wait a little longer to see since I received another Rezound (with a new back cover I might add) in the mail yesterday Now I have to wait for the tech that helped me Wednesday night to call me back and see what happened.

if it does come with OTA, only real option right now is pay 45 bucks for JTAG. Numerous people have successfully had it done.

Verizon Tech Support giving away Rezounds

a buddy of mine told me that if you currently own a tbolt and call Verizon Wireless complaining about certain issues, they replace it with a Rezound. Has anyone heard anything about this?
If you get your Thunderbolt replaced for valid insurance purposes, they will replace it with a rezound since most, but not all, Verizon stores are out of Thunderbolts.
Some times, though, you won't be offered a rezound. Rather, you may get offered a LG Revolution... which sucks.
There is a post about it here:

You have to push a little if they don't offer it. We got my wife's Charge replaced with a Rezound last night. Took some prodding, they wanted to offer a Stratosphere or Spectrum or Nexus. When we pushed, they offered the Rezound or Bionic as well.
Just had my Thunderbolt replaced for a broken screen through the insurance of Verizon and I still got a Tbolt for a replacement . Guess they found some more.....

Same here. When I talked to the Rep at Asurion about my phone (sucky data connection) I hinted about the rezoned replacement. He told me that they have plenty of TBs around. Which is fine, I like the TB when it's working, with a good ROM it doesn't really matter what the phone is to me.

I think he's talking about my phone being replaced under the phone insurance program (Asurion). This is my 3rd TB from them so I think it's paid off. It's the first phone I bought insurance on and I'm glad I did. Having to cough up several hundred dollars for a new phone would suck.
Edit: Looks like they are out of refurbs at Asurion. I got a brand spanking new TB yesterday. It works beautifully (for now) I'm going to let it sit stock for a few days to make sure but then Jester's ICS will be on there in no time.

The Rezound. Personal preference, but the big part for me is the SD card. Yes, the Nexus has a slightly larger screen, and is, well, a Nexus device, but overall I just really have liked HTC's devices.

I know this was already answered but I thought I would share my (almost) awesome experience. Went into Big Red last week with my dead bolt. Employee took me through the crap troubleshooting process and set up the replacement order. Come to find out the order was for a GS3. Would have been sad to leave the amazing bolt community but hey, it's a new phone. Anyways, I get the package and low and behold... It's a friggin LG Lucid Went back to Verizon and eventually got another bolt. Just goes to show you never know what these guys will do.

Phone call with VZW

As many of you know I have been emailing, calling and doing everything I leagally can to get some information about the bootloader being locked. Whlie my methods have be overbearing and as times obscure I would like to report some news. While talking to VZW rep Scott H. I was offered the warenty replacement device of my choosing including battery and cover. He gave me a few days to think it over. I called him today to accept his offer and get a Rezound my second choice phone. While talking to him before the call ended he asked if there was anything elese he could do? I said unless you are able to tell me why the boot loader is locked on my phone there is nothing else. He said "You have recived our letter and stance in a letter" heard that before. But, then he said "as the letter states we required by the FCC to prevent" mumbles " Thank you have a nice day" The letter doesnt say anthing about the FCC.

Rezound is my choice, NilsP create ROMS that I have come to like since the Samsung Omni days. I was planning on the Rezound because that is what Nils has and was deveolping for. This is still the phone to have if unlocked. Spec wise there is not a noticable difference between them while using the phones at the VZW store.

I switched from the GS3 to the HTC 4g mainly because of the reception. The GS3 is a better phone in every way except for the signal strength. You might want to test it before you buy it.

i haven't heard a thing from verizon, a couple responses from htc, thats all, course i live near the east coast, so
I went through 7 refub Rezound's (overheating, random reboots) and they offered me the inc4g and extended battery in replacement and I accepted it and when it arrived I didn't realize it was noticeably smaller then the Rez which I didn't want a smaller screen plus it had only half the storage of the Rez so I called and complained and he offered me the Razr Maxx and this is much better then the Rez and I am now rooted and loving it. Just holding out for the Note 2 to arrive.

Yeah, it happens to me where they cant hear me but Ive self tested by calling my other phones and i cant get it to replicate on any of those devices? Im thinking it may be related to Verizon service. So far its only one specific person that is having trouble hearing me on her Gnex.
Just did a self test with my HTC Evo LTE and the DNA and I can hear myself just fine on both devices. One on sprint and the other on Verizon. So i really dont know where the issue lies.
Edit* im thinking its the calibration on the Mic itself. If i moved the phone away from my face like an inch it was really quiet for a second until it starting picking up my voice and then when i moved it back to my face like normal it was super loud and then quieted down. Im assuming this is due to software and htc will release an update to correct this and better calibrate the mic

Yes!
I had this problem and you can search the Q&A forum to see my posts.
Your set is defective (as was mine) and you need to return it.
In a strange way it is nice to know that I did not receive the one and only defective set.
I have no idea but I'd guess it is a hardware speaker issue.

Best Customer Support call ever!

So, I have my Galaxy Note 2 rooted, my own mods and themes, with CLEANROM ACE 4.7 (updating to 4.8 now)
I JUST got this replacement phone a couple days ago, and I HATE getting a phone that isn not up to par with my standards which are:no blemishes or defects
I got off work and now I keep have signal issues. It is not from the root, or ROM because I factory rest wipe cache, dalvik, and wiped the ROM. So I called Customer Support.
The call ended up being almost an hour (the replacement took 5 minutes to send out)
Turns out the man I was talking to was a big techie.
I told him how I was tired of getting phones with physical defects and he said it's not Verizon's fault they're not in the phone making business, which is true. He told me "you know you've had 34 replacements and you didn't have to pay a thing. We're here to provide excellent customer service. No phone is perfect and if they were, I wouldn't have a job. So you have pretty much tried everything. There is another way you can go and if you want, ROOT your device that way you can be like "screw your software I want my own"
After he said that The call just went on and on. Turned out to be pretty good.
So for those of you that blame Verizon for all of your issues, blame the manufacturer.

Verizon likes to send me phones that have physical defects. One time they sent me one with a dented bezel and I wrote on a piece of paper "Learn how to inspect yours phones. I'm disappointed" stuck it under a screen protector and sent it back. Ever since then, samsung is making the bezels out of a different plastic and finish that does NOT crack.

I'm disappointed" stuck it under a screen protector and sent it back. Ever since then, samsung is making the bezels out of a different plastic and finish that does NOT crack.

It's going to get scratches and dings unless you wrap it in bubble wrap and never touch it. It's just a phone. There are better things to be obsessed over.
Also, I'm hoping that you don't believe your piece of paper made such an impact that they changed the bezel material.
You have a serious problem if you've needed 34 replacements in your life.
Issues, bro. Issues.

Wait, wow.... 34 replacements of the SAME phone? Now thats wild... I work at Verizon and I've never seen that before. What makes the phone so bad? Ive had/done plenty of certified like new replacements and never had a defect except 1 phone that had a bad AMOLED screen.

I was at a pub with my girl and pointed to an angry looking dude all by himself looking at everybody. Envious. I told her that's the kinda guy that trolls forums and talks down to everyone who posts. She asked what I meant. I showed her this thread.

It was a nice ride

So today I changed over to the S4 from the One..
I was on my 3rd One due to minor defects. I could have lived with the last one I had, defect wise, but today it died a horrible death.
I was not rooted and the device was in stock form. I cycle daily and use the MapMyRide app to record my rides.
Today I headed out and the battery was fully charged. I went 42 miles and this took me about 4 hours of total time with red lights and traffic.
Get home and the One is dead! Ok, maybe the battery drained as the app does use GPS. Never had this issue before but it's all that I could think happened.
Nope... I tried everything short of CPR to revive it with no luck. Went to AT&T store and they tried everything. No dice!
They offered to exchange it for another HTC One but also said that I could get another phone if I wanted and they would waive the restocking fee.
After much debate I decided to go with the S4..
Please do not think this is an HTC One -v- Galaxy S4 thread as it is not!
I will be keeping an eye on this forum and maybe once HTC works the bugs out I will sell the S4 and be back.
Sad to see you go , but good luck and have fun

I think the One was the best phone I have ever owned. But man HTC needs to shore up it's QC.
I already miss Sense and blink feed.. :crying:
The S4 is pretty nice as well but overall I'd prefer the One minus the QC issues..

Yeah, sadly HTC does not have as much budget as Samsung or Apple =\
I got to play with an s4 today. I definitely prefer the one only because I get sick of phones pretty quickly and I was already itching to get rid of the s3 (i even picked up a nexus 4 because I wanted something different) so to own the s4 wouldn't be much different than owning the 3. I did also get to play with a black HTC one today and wow I loved it in black. I wanted it in black at first until I got the silver and it grew on me and didn't want the black anymore. Until I saw it today. Lol I'm definitely going to use the upgrade I have on my other line in June for a black one. hopefully by then the qc issues will be addressed.

I already miss things about the One.. Call me crazy but I really liked blink feed.
Funny thing was when I 1st pre-ordered the One I was willing to root or use an alternate launcher just to rid the device of it. After using it though, it's easily one of the best features of the device!
I am sure I will be back.. The S4 is nice as well, but I have always been an HTC fan..
Sense is also much better than TW in my opinion.

I wish I had a better luck of the draw when it came to the QC of the devices I got..
I will give it a bit and follow the QC progress of the One. It really is an awesome device!
At least you realize it's awesomeness and not just a Sammy fan boy. There will be plenty of devices left once you come back. Blink feed is tight imo. This phone is just smooth all around. Once again good luck again my friend enjoy.

The One is a LOT smoother than the S4..
I have a ton of crap disabled and the S4 still lags a bit but I believe that's a JB 4.2.2 issue..
My disabled list on the S4

my s4 went up for sale the minute it arrived. the htc one is the better device.
Should of got "The One" from Costco. 90 day return policy no restock fee. Bring them back until you have one with no gaps or anything. That's what I did. Ps The One deserves to be capitalized because it's that danm good.
