Someone from Kenya with rezound..you will surely stand out im sure..in a good way
You're going to be the one person in the WHOLE of Kenya with a Rezound? Statistically I want to doubt that seeing as Nairobi is very modern in terms of tech and Expats...
Anyway, enjoy. ^_^

Posts like this remind me of how ignorant some of us are. I am going to be getting my rezound in a day or two (I took advantage of the $50 deal and will be using both this and my nexus) and I'm excited no doubt, but just thinking of how geographically different certain parts of the world are and when they get access to phones versus us is something that makes me feel kinda bad... Congrats man seriously . The last thing I was super excited about was when I made my first PC and I got the parts shipped overnight... I couldn't sleep and the truck didn't get to my house till like 5pm... Yea...
So you'll be using the GSM band of the Rezound aye? Since Kenya doesn't have a CDMA network I believe.
Yeah for $50 I jumped all over the rezound. I was going to wait and see what the next HTC phone coming to VZW this year, but $50 is a great price for this phone. I also was reading the post about s-off last Friday and hoping this happens soon. The Rezound is my first phone from HTC with out the s-off.
You have every reason to lose sleep. The rezound is awesome. You are absolutely going to love it!
Welcome aboard and welcome to one of the best and definitely the most underrated and misunderstood phones.
Thanks all of you for the positive encouragement....tommorrow is the d-day
And i am so mad at americans (No offense) but you got the greatest economy, your govt pays you welfare, sooooo many jobs and you still complain! Plus the latest tech hits your first....while we have to wait a year, a year and a half to get some things.
Immo Kenya is a great country...come and see the lions on the hunt...maybe some pics on my rezound and i post them

Nairobi is tech friendly sure but most people are getting smasung galaxy sII...and around here we have no high end carrier branded phones...plus the rezound was initially a cdmha phone i dont think many people would know how to go about fixing the sim unknown and text issues...
Sounds like you've been to Nairobi...

The only Americans who would take offense to this are the ones who are complaining I do love this country, but we are outrageously ignorant and spoiled.
That being said, that would be sweeeeet if you could take some pics of everything around there for us to see If you want, I would like to make some cool wallpapers of the pictures you take! Again, welcome aboard.

One week till launch! Too many iPhone fan boys clogging the xda threads and trying to trash this phone . Dual core, sense 3.0, qHD screen , 1gb of RAM , 4gb internal . That is one beast ass phone. Oh and it does 3D just for giggles. With the devs here at xda this phone will by far exceed everyone's expectations .
BTW you don't I repeat don't have to use 3D its not a gimmick or the whole purpose just a simple feature way too many people are trying to say it is bad.
I'm excited for my first dual core!

Thank you sir. I was getting tired of reading all these negative reviews. Can't wait to pick this up on Friday after work!

I been on my Instinct since 5 months ago since my Hero was destroyed :/. Anything is better than that so I wont be disappointed with the Evo 3D.
Awesome indeed!!!
I was fortunate enough to pick up an HTC seed unit last night and let tell you. THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!!!
Not even talking about the 3d... which upon first encounter was a bit tricky to get used to, but after shooting over 50 pictures/videos there's a science to getting it right.
The power of this phone lies in the dual core processor, the "super lcd" display, and updated software makes the phone run like a dream.
I was actually not very excited for this phone. I left android for WP7. (say what you may, but I use my phone a lot for work.) I can happily say the Evo 3d has brought me back into the fold...
But in short.. it's definately worth the wait!
What was your impression of the 2D pic quality (in relation to
4g?
Thanks

Honestly, the 2D picture quality is comprable to the Evo. I had a buddy take a picture of the exact same thing side by side on his Evo 4G. The quality is identical... unless you go full zoom on both devices, in which case the 4G is a winner, but not by a huge margin.
My biggest problem with the camera is the dedicated camera button. It is auto-focuses on light pressure and snaps the picture on the full press. It may just be because I have an otterbox case on it, but I find myself pushing so hard that I make the picture out of focus. Not a major gripe, as I'm learning to have a bit more... "finese" with the camera button. Ironically, I find the dedicated camera button to be EXTREMELY handy aside from my lack of initial nimbleness with it. Here are a few random 2D pictures I took if anyone wants to compare for themselves... and yes, very random pictures, I'm at work and don't have a lot to photograph..
Old Navy sign is no zoom / full zoom from the exact same distance. No zoom picture of a dairy queen cup... yup... I know...

This is a development community for the Rezound, not the VZW Warranty Replacement department. The phone has been out 3 freaking days! Quit whining and moaning that you can't do this and you can't do that. If you NEEDED your backups so bad you should have waited until it was posted across the board we had real root. Things will come together, sorry you don't have your convenient tools yet. You wanted to jump on the bandwagon, deal with it until your conveniences are restored. It isn't that difficult to spend a little time restoring everything manually. I did it, and I am sure many others did so too.
Stop crying for a couple weeks, and lets let the Dev's not be discourage by this phone, being that is all you are really doing by stating, "I can't root yet! I am switching to the Nexus!" Stop the bull****.
Agreed. Chances are you bought it in the last few days and you have until sometime in January to switch due to a temporary verizon policy change. Just cool it for the time being.
I believe that only applied to phones bought 15th-29th.

Not a bummer if you have no complaints, lol. Who wants to make bets the complainers pick up the Nexus and try to come back?
Anyways, CyanogenMod said CM9 is due out in ~2months. I didn't see what devices, but I am assuming this will be one to get it quick. About that same time frame ICS should be coming, MIUI goes hand in hand with CM, Big things happening! Not to mention this phone is a pretty big powerhouse without modifying it.
YEAH u make a good point LOL. Ahh cm9 would be great. I'm a MIUI Linda guy tho. No offense to any who are already Herr but I hope we can get the DEVs we need to port things over such as CM and such. I'm very curious if we get on that list. That would be huge for our Forum

amen sister.
i love this phone; yeah there's a couple quirks, but who cares, the phone performs outstandingly and gets the same battery performance, if not better, than my incredible got. that to me is awesome. it's fast, looks damn good, has an amazing screen, and the camera is GORGEOUS. what's NOT to like?
The screen is the biggest slap in the face to iPhone owners! lol, bigger AND better! Crushed another of their reasons why they think Apple products are godsend! I can't keep my hands off this phone, I am still learning Sense too!
Yeah the screen is Incredible. My wifes wants to ditch sprint altogether now and get one herself. Looks like I'm headed back to Verizon.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
wait, don't you already have it if you have a rezound?
Not all bad, except you won't have unlimited data. But, just like I stated in the X2 forums a while back, it is all a strategy to make money. They went tiered because they knew they would still draw customers, they have the better network, and now they offer double the data on a faster network with better phones. Eventually we will work our way back to unlimited, or damn near unlimited. Albeit might be more expensive, and there may still be plans under the unlimited plan.
Look like I got across to everyone This is going to be a GREAT community! Nowhere near the bickering of the X2 forum!
I dont know what it is but for some reason I just REALLY want this phone right now. I have to admit when the gs3 was first announced I thought it was the ugliest thing out there. Lately its been growing on me and I just want it very badly right now. I probably seen every unboxing/review video of it in youtube and I constantly check for updates on what the situation on this phone is. What makes matters worst is that i pre ordered this phone on Verizon so i have to wait longer then everyone else to get it. Im just hoping for a stroke of luck that some how The verizon model gets shipped out before the 9th. Anyways am I the only one like this?
i think the hype for this phone has been just so much a lot of people are feeling the same way...
im actually about to return my HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is an AWESOME phone), for putting in my pre-order for the sgs3
the removable, larger batter and the 2 GBs of RAM really have me pumped, plus a lot of cool extra features, gesture controls, etc make this a super exciting phone...

lol noooo you're not the only one. I've watched almost every video on youtube.. over and over and over again and finally someone shared a video of the Canadian version which is the same as the U.S. one which I will be getting on June 21st from tmobile I am too too excited! imma have to pay 600 somethin for it.. grrrr
hahaha same, im stalking this phone like a bieber fan.
Yea you're alone. I'm coming from an Evo 4G, and there have been some decent replacements, like the nexus, galaxy S II, but I've been stalking this phone since it was first annouced back before march. I'm with Sprint, so I'll have mine next week. You can live vicariously through us.
Waiting on a pre-order is worse than simply waiting for release in my opinion, since the money is already gone from my account, but no phone in hand. Reading about how much the international people are enjoying theirs already makes it even harder.
You are not alone. I am also very excited for the S3!!! Then again I have an X2 so really any phone is looking good to me right about now lol!
I'm pretty blown away by the specs of the S3 and if I don't have to pay full price for it, I'll probably get it. Does anyone know if I would still have to pay full retail price for the S3 if I upgrade my contract before the 28th and lock in another 2 years unlimited data?? On Verizion, obviously...

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I think Samsung should start doing their press release events the day before release because making us wait this long is simply unfair. I am secretly hoping that my carrier will call me today and say 'we got a stack of phones in early, would you like to pick yours up early?' LOL. Seriously, I know once I have the phone a while the novelty will wear off a bit but I want it now. And its not like my SGS2 is not a good enough phone or won't hold me over for another year. Do we need help or are just simply victims of marketing?? haha
And now it looks like the Canadian release date has been increased another week to the 27th.
I can't wait either cuz I'm not rooting this evolte since its temp so I want my permanent gs3 yeah buddy.
I thought I was the only one... I thought this was the ugliest phone, but it some how has grown on me, a lot, like I haven't been this bad since the first iPhone came out (everyone was going crazy about it)... and the fact that I haven't seen any U.S variants is driving me nuts...
Lol same here, I almost bought the international version a few days ago to use on AT&T. *Patient running on low*

Currently waiting for my S3 from Verizon also and going crazy but over the last couple days it seems that I'm phasing it out more and more. I was going crazy at first and now I'm just like whatever when it comes it comes especially with no solid release date, I've heard so many 6/28, 7/9, 7/10 all I know is that its pre ordered and I'll be in the first batch of shipments whenever it happens.

Just a phone dude. And like all android phones that get rooted, you never find it perfect because you keep flashing and flashing until some other phone comes out and you feel the need tio get rid of the one you have.
I'm on here like 100+ times a day among every other site that I can find info. I even went and did a recon on a T-Mobile store to find the best tactical advantage for me to get my phone first. Crazy!

HTC has been really struggling lately, and now with OnLive costing them $40 million, things are definitely not looking good.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think we're going to start seeing the effects of all of this loss soon? I'm worried about new devices releasing, as well as updates being given to existing devices, if the company keeps falling like this.

Ouch, definitely doesn't sound good. Not sure if they will be able to stay in it or not...depending on how this whole Apple/Samsung thing turns out, they may be able to use it to their advantage, but it sounds like they've got some pretty big issues to deal with. I think I'm already pretty much resigned to getting whatever Samsung's offering is when I'm eligible for my next upgrade. I had a tough time choosing this time around anyway, so I figure I'll give them a shot (never owned a Samsung)...but it sounds like that may be the "only" option if things don't improve for HTC.

Good, sometimes drastic things need to happen before a company makes drastic changes necessary.
I guess it is what it is. I am happy with the EVO LTE. I'm going with a Nexus next time around since they will hopefully be beyond the stupid pentile screens by then. Maybe we will get lucky and HTC will get a Nexus at some point in the future.
If rim and Nokia are still in business I think htc will be OK for now.. they do need to start making better decisions and listening to their customers ..they are still turning almost a billion dollar profit this quarter ..still pretty good
A company thats making a profit is about to collapse? Really? Please Explain:cyclops:
fail
how can they be making a profit and collapsing at the same time
do you even read and think before you decide to spread such garbage?
They're hurting, but I have high hopes that they come back even stronger. They need to make a few adjustments to the way they work, and it can make all the difference. For one, be as dev friendly as they used to be. Second, less device models as they made it seem like they were going to do. They need to cut as much variants out, and focus on keeping close to the same phone amongst different carriers. That's my opinion.

Haha I love how people read a comment in an article and then talk like it's their comment.
You guys don't think a company can collapse when turning a profit? Really? How about when your profits rapidly decline quarterly, and the government is helping bail you out? Look at the trends, and you'll see why they're collapsing.

It's funny because you probably didn't even read the article.
They're making a profit, but they're still a shadow of their former glory. Their market share has plummeted and it isn't showing any signs of improving. Just because they're still pulling in money doesn't mean that everything is sunshine and rainbows for them.
HTC is still a profitable company, but with such relentless competition from Samsung and Apple, their numbers are dropping fast enough that banks are beginning to get very nervous. This could quite literally be the beginning of the end.

This indeed sucks but at this present time all i can ask for is that they release Jelly Bean before they close the doors..My wife sold her iPhone and bought the Galaxy S3 and i've been playing with it here and there and its an awesome phone...I was amazed that a stupid kitty cat live wallpaper runs flawlessly with out slowing down the scrolling on the phone..I think I may have seen the light and sipped on some of the Kool-aid..Im kinda envious
HP just took a multibillion dollar write down because of the EDS acquisition, but this was an excellent strategic investment. HTC is doing the same thing. They might be down, but they're not out.

I don't think that HTC is going to go out of business. I'm hoping that they can come up with something that can stabilize them a bit. In my opinion they need to make like Samsung and give their phones more of an identity.
They need try harder to keep their phones in order instead of releasing 20 different devices. They've taken a step in the right direction with the One series, but the naming is way too confusing for most people to be able to tell what the phone is all about. HTC needs a way to make a budget, mid-end, and high-end phone that isn't different on every carrier and that represents itself well.
With the One series, you have the One X, the One XL, the One S, the One V, and I'm sure that the upcoming/rumored One "XL+" (or whatever we call it) will join that lineup as well. The names just have no way of differentiating themselves without looking into the specs. If you walked up to someone and said, "Do you want the One V or the One S?" They're going to say, "Huh? What do the letters mean?"
But with all of the growth that Samsung has seen, I'm not sure that HTC will ever be able to catch up.
That settles it...I am buying a spare Rezound

Haha. I've been getting a lot of hate around here cause I crossed over to the side. Im glad someone with more credibility is seeing the light. I still get the "you don't know sh*it" when i mention 2gb of ram makes a difference.

I agree. But Sense is why most brought the phone, right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
No... Many people on this site will likely say they bought it for the hardware, not software. This is a development forum. We know Sense can be ripped away (or at least shrink and improved).

Hey guys, so yesterday I made the switch to Sprint (it's waaay cheaper than VZW here..) and in return I got rid of my Rezound in exchange for the beautiful HTC One. I'm gonna miss all the talented developers here but I'm gonna miss Snuzzo's kernel and how helpful he is the most . It sucked selling my Rezound after having it for over a year and a half. I came from an iPhone to the Rezound, so everyone here made my first Android experience a great one. The reasoning behind it is because my Rezound's digitizer plug-in was messed up after replacing my screen twice, my front housing was peeling off from opening it, the vibrating motor was broke and the battery life was..well, we know our Rezounds and their batteries lol. I never post but I feel like I'm friends with everyone here just because this community is so nice and helpful. I'm gonna miss you all .
PS the One is amazing. I'm not as wowed as I was with my Rezound because I'm already familiar with Sense and Android, but it feels great in my hands and looks amazing.
I just bought a pair of Nexus 4s for the wife and I and switched to T-Mobile. This is definitely an awesome little dev community. Many thanks to all!

First; thank you for the kind words BOTH OF YOU. Good to see I helped you. Second; Who says I won't be doing anything on the Htc One?
I will definitely miss this community too! 3 days before I leave for basic training, my battery goes south and the earliest I can get a new battery is sometime on Tuesday...when I'll already be on a plane to Ft. Jackson. Bought a GS3 on CL, and I must say, the battery life is so phenomenal compared to the Rezound. 12+ hours compared to my average 4-6.
Will definitely miss the devs! I've been here since launch day in November 2011. My oh my how far development has come!!
And now Jellybean is out! I gotta stop monitoring this board cause now I'm hurting lol

Just picked up my 3rd Rezound... a minty used one with a ton of accessories and extra batteries, for $155. Nothing about this phone makes it anywhere near obsolete, but you guys just keep chasing after the latest, greatest shiny new device, and keep spending $$$. The smarter ones will be around to pick up your dirt cheap discarded leftovers. I'm still on my very first Rezound (purchased on Black Friday 2011), I just gave a used "spare" to my wife after her old dumb phone died, and now I have another backup/experimenting phone for cheap.
THANK YOU!

Sounds like someone is jealous. Don't be hating because some of us can afford the latest and greatest when it comes out .

Not jealousy, sounds more like loyal and being a money saver. I do agree, why waste your cash .....

Ahhh... I see. Common sense is the new Jealousy. :silly:
I could pay cash for a new One every month, and never miss the money. I don't live in my mom's basement, either. Fact remains, the Rezound is still a great device, and other than the lemming-like desire to have the "latest and greatest" (for no other reason than the dread of feeling left out of the stampede), there's no real reason to switch from it.
BTW... how much better was that Nexus than your Rezound? (my wife has one for a company-issued phone, and it SUCKS compared to her Rezound)
I am thinking of getting an S4 to replace my Rezound and use the Rezound to replace my D1. That way I can still have the best of both worlds.

I liked my Nexus way better vs my Rezound. Battery life was better, call quality was great, no creaky back and no washed out colors like the LCD on the Rezound. I do admit that the display on the Rezound is more crisp. That and all AOSP roms atm on the Nexus are way smoother for now. The only reason I dropped the Nexus is cause the screens would keep crapping out on me. Once developement starts firing up for the S4 bye bye S3! Plus if you have the financial standing to buy a new device and have enough left over in your bank for rainy days why care? Spend your money on things you enjoy! Spoil your wife and kids! When you croak and have a nice life insurance policy they'll be set for some time.

Some of us have more disposable income vs others and that's just an unfair fact of life .
Again, even though I myself CAN AFFORD to get a new device. I've not had a reason to. I guess assets and a word call saving doesnt apply when you said "disposable". Just save the "disposable" income. May need it one day.
What I am saying is go for it, but don't fill my mouth with words. Again, jealous, heck no.

When we're talking about a devices that are hobbled by the inability to replace batteries when they go dead (planned obsolescence), or upgrade memory (thus forcing users into relying on cloud storage and higher data charges), then yes... it is a lesser intelligence issue. You're playing into the provider's hands, rather than calling your own shots. (OOOoooo.... look!! SHINY!!!)

I was never implying you were jealous. To each their own when it comes to what they do with their $$$. I just think freedoom is a **** when he is stating someone is of lesser intelligence for hopping on a newer device of their choice. I am directing the comment purely at him.

This is why I choose which shiny new device suits my needs before I buy it and drool. Plus I have unlimited data so idgaf about using cloud solutions . Some people don't care about swapping out batteries.. As most of them will already have a newer device before the battery goes bad. Lol you really think you're calling your own shots when you're contracted with a carrier? I rest my case.
