Went from a rooted HTC 3D running at 1.836 fast as hell and hacked to death; to the HTC Resound? No root; no s-off. I remove apk’s; change my htc_bootanimation/htc_downanimation; keyboard layout; etc…I reboot and presto - my changes have gone into the bit bucket.
I am thinking of switching a different phone. I am a Go Go Gadgets kind of guy; 12 cell phones and 2 tablets in the past 2.5 year. How about I try the Motorola razr droid? Or should I wait? I want it and I want it now LOL.
I understand how u feel cuz I'm like that to but I think with these awesome devs we will get s-off soon. So I think you made the right choice but its your decision not ours.
sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. Bata bum ba bum, Im loving it.
The dev's are great; i owe them many many thanks.
I would keep it, this device has way to much potential. I also love my devices and have to have the newest and latest. Im going back and fourth between this and my tbolt(thanks to simply swapping Sims) my bolt is rooted and all jacked up but does not come close to this stock beast! I don't even think the gnex is gonna be as badass as this device when we get S-OFF. Sure it has ICS out if the box but we will get it too thanks to our Devs and still have the option to run whatever crazy Sense builds they come up with. Hope my opinion helped.

True - this phone has to makings of a beast. If this phone could flying it would be on par with a Spine-tailed Swift. LOL thanks
I was also a long time user of the OG EVO and the 3D as welll. Im loving Verizon. And my Rezound. No regrets here. And I was with Sprint for over 10 years. U made the right choice. Don't worry about it:thumbup:

thanks -- I like Verizon and like you was with Sprint for over 10 years. the 4G is a hell of a lot faster.
This is my first smartphone so my opinion may not carry as much weight as the others, but I researched for about 8 months to decide what phone to buy knowing that I will probably keep the same one for about 3-4 years. I went from the Incredible to the tbolt, evo3d, sgs2, looked at bionic, glimpsed at razr, it came down to either galaxy nexus or this and picked this one,mostly because of the screen and removable SD card and heard the camera was great. I also liked the way Sense looked.
I am loving it, but like I said, first smartphone so any of the above would have been fantastic. But the screen is amazing! The other phones' screens can't compare.
Removable SD card is a big plus, someone posted they successfully added a 64gb card so that is pretty sweet.
Have you gone to the Razr forums to see how people like it and if there are issues with it? If not, I would do that before you change your mind about this beauty.

I am staying with the Rezound for now. Ordered two batteries and 32 GB class 10 SD on Amazon about 5 minutes ago. The phone was a good deal 1 cent on amazon wireless. I am addicted need a 12 step program for EE propeller heads
its times like these when we should ask...
what would Jesus do?... maybe Samsung?..

Im curios to know how many people will take back their Evo 3D if no root method is found within their first 30 days. Im still debating myself, but I think this may be a way of getting Sprints attention. If there is a significant number of people who threaten to take theirs back, maybe Sprint will put the heat on HTC too.
I've threatened to but I am not sure that I will. Rooted or not this phone is ridiculously sick and I am having way too much fun with the 3D feature! I remain confident that HTC will get this done, perhaps with the 2.3.4 update.
You'd have to take it from me!
(Please don't take it from me!)
I won't. I like it fine now. Root would, of course, make it better.
I LOVED my EVO 4G, rooted with Myn's ROM Picked up the 3VO on Friday, was not super blown away at first, but now three days later, it is a more mature and refined EVO 4G, polished up in all the right places, and overall a better device. I like it over my ogEVO for sure, but it's not night and day better.
But seeing the reviews of the Galaxy S2, makes me think 99% I will go for that when it comes out. I am a sucker for the Super AMOLED+ screen, just go to an ATT store, check out the Infuse 4G, it uses the same screen tech, and instant boner looking at that beauty, the colors are jaw dropping, and viewing angles perfect.
Plus the Galaxy S2 is super ****ing thin, I am sucker for razor thin phones, they look so much more futuristic to me. And the design of it being an all black thin slab, just looks so cool. When Sprint gets it, it will be hard to resist.
Brand new review;

Lets fact it not that many people will return this phone to have the impact you are looking for; the fact is it is not just a good phone it is a stellar. Even without root, this phone is one of if not the best on the market right now. I won’t get hung up on the root for now because I am sure either, HTC or the community will unlock the device.
I'm still debating as well if I should go back to the Evo 4G or stay. I do love all the new features, design, and speeds...but mess my rooted apps. I would also like to add some lockring and battery mods. I had a rooted Evo 4G with Sense 2.1 + 3.0 already (MikGv2.4) and mess the mods and themes. Hopefully HTC gives out the bootloader soon. If they do, then I'm definitely staying with my Evo 3D.

x2 on that new Samsung coming out... It seems very tempting to make the trade if HTC doesn't unlock these phones. I'm not really concerned with 3D. It's a cool 'wow' factor to friends but I personally don't really use it on my own. I guess when it gets closer to time for the new one to come out, I will make my decision then... Right now I'm leaning more toward sticking with HTC.

+1...I am SUPER impressed with this phone overall. The 3D turned out not to be too gimmicky, but rather awesome.
Love it but it will go back if no root.

Learned this lesson a long time ago: never buy anything on a promise! I for one will not return it whether it gets root or not. I'll have a LOT more respect for HTC if they do unlock it, but me personally, I bought it knowing it was going to be locked. The "talk on the net" about HTC unlocking it via an OTA update is/was always just heresay. I also have confidence that whether they unlock it or not, eventually someone will pwn it.

Hearsay directly from HTC's CEO, so I think it would carry some weight.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I will stick with it. I am very satisified with the improvements root or not and i do not see anything much better coming out for quite some time. After testing many different android phones I can say this one has the best battery and features and i have tried many out from the G1, mytouch, hero, droid, evo4g, epic, thunderbolt, nexus s 4g. No phone is by any means perfect out of the box. It all comes down to if it works for you and gets you through the day.
27 days & counting. It is a great phone & a nice improvement from the original Evo but I can't see going any significant time without root. Plus I pretty much had my eye set on the GSII anyway. Figured I wouldn't loose anything from trying this out for at least 30 days.
Sent from my Rootless....but still pretty awesome Evo 3D using XDA Premium App
mine went back today. too many little issues aside from locked bootloader.
and btw... sprint is trying to charge existing customers $35 restocking fee to return the EVO3D. you can get it credited back if you know who to call and ask for it
Only a few hours in but it already seems like a keeper to me. I like the improvements made and the only thing I miss so far is the hotspot unlocked. Even without root it's a really good phone so far. Kinda like the Evo's big brother.
Root will happen its just a matter of when. I got the phone Friday and i got to admit I was somewhat let down. After having it all weekend and it now being monday, I will not be going back to 4G. The 4G phone was probably one of the most enjoyable phones I have ever owned. Not 1 single complaint about it. But this phone has so much more potential. There are a few things I don't like such as charging port location, no seperate hdmi, but I can live with it. This phone is definately more advanced than the og evo. And i will always have a place in my heart for my beloved 4G but i am keeping this one.

Every launch phone usually has issues why do people expect them to always be perfect. IPhone couldn't send mms until like 2 years after it launched LOL. Hope some take it back and the sgs2 let's them dwn like all samsungs phones usually do.

I very specifically did not over-accesorize this phone, because while at the moment I'm enjoying the phone as it sits......There's no way I can keep this thing for 22 months without being able to theme it and flash custom roms.
There wasn't a thread on this new device, so I figured I'd start one.
I've always strayed away from Moto devices and have been eagerly waiting for the Vigor and Nexus Prime. That said, the DROID RAZR looks like a worthy competitor.
With competitive specs, a nice big screen and a 7.1mm thickness, it seems like an amazing device. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts...
I will still wait for the Prime and Vigor, but this device is looking so damn good right now with my available upgrade. Pre-order starts the 27th, but it probably wont drop until early November. We'll see on the Prime dates tonight and hopefully learn of concrete Vigor dates soon.

I think it's by far the best Moto device. I still like the Rezound because of the 1.5Ghz processor and Beats, and I do like Sense. From time to time, I take a break from Sense to try the new CM or MIUI, but always end up coming back. Also, the Rezound and GNexus will come out on November 11th according to a Verizon roadmap. We'll get a confirmation on the GNex tonight.
Moto RAZR + Locked Bootloader = No Thank you
In all seriousness, this is probably the first Moto device that I would consider purchasing if it wasn't locked down. The specs are pretty nice and it's pretty thin...just like I prefer my ladies.
I also noticed on Droid Life the Razr went thru FCC with both LTE & GSM radios. That's pretty nice.

Completely agree... it is a great looking phone, but that cannot overcome the locked bootloader.
kuddos to motorola for making some nice improvements after the bionic fiasco.
I can't personally stand the look of it. I've never really liked Moto's design though. And that horrid UI thrown on top of it just doesn't do it for me. And no ICS as of right now? Locked bootloader? Pass, pass, pass...
Am I the only one who just now realized it's gonna be an amazing week for Verizon?

Looks pretty awesome, but I cannot and will not buy a phone with a locked bootloader. If I was interested in being locked down, I would buy the 4S in a heartbeat. The other reason I can't justify the Razr is because of the qHD display while still costing as much as the Rezound and Prime.
According to one leak they are all out on the 10th of November. Can't wait to see them in person, I really think I am leaning towards the RAZR. In the back of my head I think about ICS and larger screen, but the smaller better looking RAZR has me interested. Hopefully the bootloader will be figured out soon enough.

Nope. On Endgadget and Co, most comments say that Motorolala's bootloaders are hardly "perfectly safe". I love that phone too, but I will have to pass, cause we will never see any custom rom on it.
but it's so beautifull...
I'm like a moth and a candle... hahaha
Looks like the RAZR will be getting ICS sometime after launch. Kind of makes the decision tougher, although after last night's event I'm in love with the Nexus. I just pray the LTE version isn't much thicker.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I know it's easy to jump to conclusions, but just because it has a locked bootloader doesn't mean it will always be that way. Look what HTC did, didn't motorola promise to start unlocking them? Battery is swapable, but maybe it will be still be replaceable with some disassembly. The only thing that can't possible improve is NFC. I really was looking forward to this, why did motorola leave this out?
Just took it apart and seems to be an easy fixable phone for replacing broken LCD or digitizer. I also checked there is 1 led per soft touch key on bottom so thats good, usually they would do one for every 2 buttons. The status led indicator seemed well placed, so i assume brightness of it maybe would be able to be adjusted in programming rather then hardware. Here ya go..

Thanks for being the brave one. And it's good to hear that each of the soft-lit key are powered by an individual LED, rather than just 1 or 2 which would often mean uneven lighting.
If I attempted to dissemble my Rezound I might just pop an ulcer in the process.
lol no problem, i guess now im just going to wait untill the full root comes through so i can start looking to see if the led's can be set to be brighter and if the speaker can be louder
Awesome man, thanks for the research! You're quite brave haha you must know what you're doing

Wow, and you got it all back together with no issue? I am already pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity of Devs over here! The DX and DX2 had ****! Phones been out what, 6 months, no one dared take it apart lol. They are just now getting someone to try to port MIUI, he bought my old phone from me to do it.
ya i take all the phones i use apart and put them together again. I had a disassembly of the Droid X on droidfroums while back. Should be exactly same with DX2.

I don't understand why anyone would continue to buy moto products.
The DX1 was locked the hell down and didn't get any "new" roms until 2nd init was discovered. I don't know why anyone would make that mistake twice with the X2.
Then the Bionic? Who in the right mind would buy that phone after it came out so late? How can you support a company that can't get their **** together for months?
The Bionic was an attempt by Moto to take $$ quick off the publicity before the RAZR came out, lol.
But yea, I didn't do **** with my X1 the whole time I had it, I just started to get involved in the Dev world in August.

yup, that's why i stick to HTC for my smartphones. my first was the eris, second was the inc, and now it's the rezound. i've used PLENTY of motorola/samsung products and damn i can't stand them lol
honestly guys i love moto phones more than htc. First off the thunderbolt pissed me the hell off with its heating up issues and battery issues and all that crap was so annoying, u dont keep a phone to use as a heater. When the samsung charge came out i jumped on it, loved it for the reason that it didnt heat up AT ALL even if i used the net for a long time. But it suckkkked software wise. The bionic was really good liked it a lot but still wanted a more detailed screen so when the htc rezound with the smoothness in software came out i loved it. So far with this rezound im happy, made me think good about htc again, but ya motorola has always been loyal to me
Eh, to each their own. I've never had any problems with htc so that's why they're ok to me! Lol

Thats crazy, I've been using my thunderbolt instead of the bionic because the bionic is so freaking awful.
Yea, my buddy is having so many LEGITIMATE issues that today Verizon finally agreed to warranty replace with the Rezound. He just texted me the good news. They said they have a "fix" due in December, he said that is not good enough. Which, he is right, we don't pay for these devices to not be able to use them to the full effect. Bad news for him though, he fell for the accessory package, they don't reimburse you for those.

That's bull****. Verizon told me they would exchange my bionic for a thunderbolt or a stratosphere. Why the hell would i want to trade the bionic for the 8 month old phone i replaced with it!
I have a Rezound and love it except for the battery life. Verizon is offering me a Certified Pre-owned phone of my choice without signing a contract. The Bionic looks like the best one available, for $149.99. It uses the same size 4G sim card as my Rez? I can just swap back and forth if so. Would this be a solid backup phone? It has a couple cool things like a dedicated hdmi port and the lap dock option. Worth the buck fifty?

It has had some updates to fix some of the issues, my suggestion would be to check the bionic forums and see how people feel it is working now. So how did you work that out to get offered another phone without contract plus keep the Rezound ? Curious, because I would love to have another phone to mess around with myself
I bought the Rez used, and the Verizon rep put insurance on my account when he activated my sim card. Turns out that is not an option for used phones, so I whined and moaned about not having a warranty on a 3 month old phone, and they offered me the CPO device. I can use it whenever, too! Might just wait for a Nexus to show up and sell it

Had the Bionic for 6 hours before returning it for the Rezound. Wasn't impressed at all. Plus, I thought I read the Bionic went on sale for $99 today. Still wouldn't buy it.
The Bionic is garbage. I mean, its plenty fast, but the screen is very washed out, and the camera is just sooooo bad. Plus I really hated the shape of the thing. It was uncomfortable to talk on for more than a couple minutes, and even uncomfortable to hold for long periods. Why anyone would put sharp edges on a phone is beyond me!
Hey this is the OP, thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like the Bionic is basically a big deuce, a pos, a stinker to be killed with fire, but...I still want it to tinker with...ugh, can't decide.

Hey this is the OP, thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like the Bionic is basically a big deuce, a pos, a stinker to be killed with fire, but...I still want it to tinker with...ugh, can't decide.

I came from the bionic, it took me 2x3 hour phone calls with verizon for them to exchange that piece of crap for my rezound.
The bionic is a piece of **** there's nothing to tinker with..There's no unlocked bootloader, data drops every time you turn off your screen, there's about 3 developers for the bionic who are inactive.
Stay away from that piece of ****!
stay away from the bionic lol. keep the rezound.

Seriously... it has 5 inch screen, 3200 MAH battery, micro sd card and the same processor. What do you guys thin? Do you think once again we got the short end of the stick? The HUGE battery is what gets me. I hope it is like the DNA and can work on GSM carriers, I might grab one if the price is right.

Micro SD. Bigger battery. Bigger screen. Only 3 reasons why I'm looking to get the S4. If this is released on American soil I will gladly get rid of the One for this

I couldn't agree more. I ordered the S4 Active and it will be here tomorrow. I will miss Sense 5 but I had no choice, the battery life was killing me and a 5 inch screen is a sweet spot.
If it has US bands (LTE and so on) I will gladly buy an unlocked version
The battery is bigger than the Note 2's battery. HTC is finally listening to their customers. If only it came with the Snapdragon 800...I would definitely get it. However, our HTC One still looks wayyyyyyy better IMO.

The phone is being made for the Taiwanese market as of right now it doesnt have any LTE bands, US or International. Also its made of glossy plastic instead of the aluminum the one is made of. To those complaining about it being better specced, There will always be better phones in the pipeline, can't always be waiting or looking back and saying we got the short end, you will never be satisfied if you do.
Don't care, still love my one. If you waited to get the next top notch phone then you would never get a new one. I'm happy with the all metal flagship device.

This will probably be the answer to the HTC one on Verizon. Aka a droid branded boot loader locked bloatware filled load of garbage. S4 active? Meh.

Hopefully it shares the same software as the s4, otherwise it's going to be a very boring / slow sub forum.

Looks like HTC is coming back with a vengeance. Lookout Samsung!

Oh, look, there's a new phone coming out. It has upgraded specs. This is my surprised face. Quick, let's go make a thread about how much it sucks that my current phone isn't better than this newer phone and/or this newer phone has some feature I wish that my current phone had.
Six months from now, there will be another phone coming out with upgraded specs and this will still be my surprised face.

Nope, because:
1. I've already had my phone for months. There's no guarantee what carrier(s) this is going to and what those carriers will do to it.
2. I love the aluminum build of the One.
3. I'd rather have 32 or 64 GB of onboard storage than an SD card option. Google has been (intentionally) making the SD card less and less useful in Android.
4. Apparently, the Butterfly S doesn't have OIS: https://twitter.com/nerdtalker/status/347453833305284608
The speakers don't look very seamless... looks pretty ugly because of that. Hope that isn't the final model. The back looks plastic too.

I agree, our phone is a lot nicer, I just wish for some of those features to pop up in a One varient.

That's why I have 14 days to decide. I'm not getting rid of my One right away. Only if I love the S4

lol I see that now oops.
This thread had absolutely nothing to do with the HTC One is therefore being closed.
Please enjoy this image of Foghorn Leghorn, who has about as much relevance to the HTC One as this thread.
