I'm thinking of purchasing a Rezound on Ebay, I currently have a droid Inc2. However, I would like to get the Rezound because its 4g and s-off. I can get one for like $250 or so and my upgrade isn't up for another year. Opinions would be much appreciated.

Its a crazy decivice. Definitely a inc2 upgrade. Same shape and feel just bigger.
You'll need some patience. Its the best device ive owned....and I owned a galaxy nexus...but I do hate the battery. Only downfall.
I would say do it. The phone came out in Nov. And as far as Verizon is concerened the specs still haven't been beat. Its nice.

$250 is not a bad price, and the screen on the Rezound is killer. Be prepared to go through batteries like it's nobody's business though. I keep 2 spares in my pocket, and I don't consider myself a power user.
Let me know if you want to sell your Inc2, I love that phone.

I'm curious on those people who have s-off and custom kernals. Any news on better battery life, I'm just debated because LTE is known for sucking the life out of a battery.
Currently, I get almost 2 days with limited use.
I just bought one for $330 (beats, box, extended battery, otterbox and few extra batteries). And I've got a galaxy nexus. The Gnex has a bad camera in low light or indoors. I'm really looking for the day the package arrives.

I hated my Nexus. Horrible camera, lousy speaker. Beats ear buds couldn't save that phone. Lol. Dropped calls, and soooo many accidental screen shots. And I couldn't get used to a power button on the side and the volume rockers in the middle.
With that said...totally sexy phone. Screen was nice and so customizable. Lots of dev support. The Rezound is the perfect size and as long as you have those batteries you'll be fine.

I'm getting 7 hours average. Light use days are 10 hours....heavy use is 5 hours.
S-off doesn't really do anything special for the phone..just allows stuff to be flashed that wasn't supported with HTC dev unlock..like radios and kernels via recovery.

honestly on this phone I don't notice much of a difference on 3g vs 4g for battery life. I don't know why that is, maybe it has something to do with the size of the antennae running through the back cover.
Totally worth it. Extended battery is a must though if you want to use 4g for more than 5 minutes. With extended battery, you can go all day with Pandora on 4g and still have a good 30% or so left.

the only way you will get 2 days use on the rezound is too buy an extended battery. the phone is great but the battery life is not soo much.
Hello guys. As many of you already know the stock battery which comes with the rezound dies pretty quickly through a decent amount of use in a day. I have been looking for some extended batteries and have come across brands such as Laza zCell, otterbox and Hyperion. What do you guys suggest? Should I just stick with the extended battery provided by HTC?
Thank you in advance.

Can't go wrong with the HTC extended battery, there's an extensive thread about it in the Accessories section, best place to ask questions like this.

When it comes to the ReZound STICK WITH THE OEM HTC EXTENDED BATTERY no matter how many more hours they say it will last. Cause it might for the first week then the cells are going to weaken but my extended form my rezound is great and i've had it for almost a month now. I get about 20 hours with 4g on all day no wifi nor 3g and bluetooth is on
Honestly, my HTC battery works best by far. And once you get a replacement back for the phone thunderbolt extended batteries are the same part number and cheap as dirt. Like 3 or 4 bucks a battery.

This is a good deal for the official htc rezound extended battery door:

Then snag several of these:

I got 4 batteries and they only charged me once for shipping. Thunderbolt extended batts are the same as the rezound except for the color.
You can also check out verizon in store (corp stores). Extended batteries with the door were only 19.99 for a long time (unadvertised sale, make them scan it).
extended with batt is 29.99,not 19.99

They were 19.99 in dec and jan. But 29.99 isn't a bad deal since you need the door anyway. The door alone is 25 on htcpedia.
Ya its a good price. You will probably get longer life out of a mugen extended or one of those "10000mah" pieces of crap jokes on amazon but the htc will outlast them in the long run. Just get the HTC battery

If it is available, ALWAYS get the HTC battery. Usually it is cheaper, is what it is advertised as(mAh), and a higher qualty product compared to over 95% of the junk out there. Mugen and Seidio are the higher quality aftermarket manufacturers, usually more expensive for the same result.

The lucid is very slow, has no led charging indicator, has a bad camera and takes forever to charge. It also has bad battery life. The only other phone in my price range is a razr. Do you think it is worth paying the 30$ restoring fee or should I just deal with this phone

I am not going to talk crap about that phone but if crack flashing isn't what you care after but a better overall phone is I would pay the stocking fee and move into the maxx if you can. If not the RAZR is still a good phone. I am using the ics 84 leak and can tell you that it is 100% great owning my maxx. Only option I wish I had was a 0 shutter camera but the maxx camera is very fast and once focused almost 0 shutter. It will do
The plain Razr is fine if you're OK with charging it a lot... personally, I wouldn't change unless it was to the Razr Maxx.
I've owned both RAZR and Maxx and the RAZR still has very good battery life In general. You just gotta hope for a RAZR with no mechanical factory defects...( I've had 2 different phones returned). Also when I said a RAZR with no defects that also went for the Maxx as well. I've had one RAZR and one Maxx with defects

Well you're certainly getting better development on the rezound than you would with the razr. Stupid Motorola / Verizon.
I'd get rid of my razr for an HTC phone if I could just for the development.

I went from a rez to my maxx. The rez was very nice and very nice camera and screen...but w the extended battery it got heavy feeling. Uncomfortably heavy. Hard to see in the sun. Not hating on the rezound as it is a great device...but my maxx w ics 4.0.4 is exactly what I wanted. 6+ hours screen on time. No hesitation or stuttering. Runs perfect. Autosync always on. Always run data. Auto brightness on. No tricks. Just use it

Designed to provide maximum mobile freedom, Mugen Power 4700mAh (milliamp hour) Lithium-Polymer battery case extends the life of the Verizon HTC Droid DNA by 3 times delivering enough power to recharge the stock 2020mAh battery twice after it is depleted. This impressive battery performance allows consumers, especially those who are often on the move, to use the device longer. The new battery is fully compatible and fits well on to Verizon HTC Droid DNA.

It fugly as all get out too! At least the Mophie packs for Iphone5 are sleek and good looking. They do add alot of bulk but they're not ugly. I will say this though, these are putting out 4700 mAh while the mophies for iphone are only like 1200mAh or so and those sell for $100. So by that notion these aren't a bad deal.
I don't think it looks that bad, if it were in the $40-50 range I'd totally grab one.
If they were cheap I'd get one to travel with but not for everyday use

It has to be one hour of screen life lol. I've finally gotten my phone to only use 1-2% of it's battery while its on stand by. However it doesnt matter how long I've had the phone on or anything if I go to 2 hours of screen on time my phone is sitting around 50% +/- a few depending on some other factors. So that's the only conceivable way for me to see him doing it.
Missed the comment above about Mophie and you're 100% right. This is a great deal compared to their offerings for the ONE or the S3. 100$ here gets you a lot more juice.
Thanks you very much news, I think HTC phone's battery accessories is still very good, lifespan can reach 10 hours of the time it brought me a lot of convenience and benefits, I do not have to worry about no electricity and phone things affect me

It does look good, and I am wondering the same thing. I can't find any reviews however, probably because the website says 'Ships on September 18, 2013', suggesting it isn't yet available.

Depending on the battery, some companies make larger capacity batteries that are the same size. Then the back just clicks back on.

A one year warranty sounds pretty darn good. I can't bring myself to spend $90 though, and no way $100 for the brick unless I was traveling. Tempted by the extra 3000 and doesn't look THAT bad. Hell this thing barely fits in my pocket as is, what's an extra few mm going to really matter? Price point on mugen products are notoriously high and stay there. I don't see this being any cheaper. I may just pull the trigger on this but have to sleep on it a few days first. Not an impulse shopper by any means.
I'll pick one up in the next week or two, it's ideal for my purposes, especially since I bought a GoPro Hero 3 Black which I control from my phone using Wi-Fi. The extra power will be very useful.

I'll be honest, I was hoping the one was going to be released sooner and prolly would have gotten it if it came out before the s4. Don't get me wring, I like my s4. But now that the one is coming in a couple of days I'm thinking about getting it.
My only two concerns are battery like and Verizon locking it down. I've read some reviews that the battery is terrible and some that its OK.
I'm a total crackflasher and if its locked down, that alone would prolly make me not get it.
Just wondering what you all think. I mean spec wise they're pretty similar.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I'm in the same boat as you. My upgrade was available and I was to impatient to wait for the one. Since getting the s4, I have really grown to like it and I like a lot of the features it brings to the table. I haven't actually had the one on my hands to play with it but I've watched a lot of reviews and ultimately I'm happy with the s4.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Yeah its a tough decision. I've played with it and like the design, but if you put a case on it, which I will, that becomes a moot point. I did like the new sense interface. Blinkfeed looks pretty cool as well as the zoe feature. Of course thise prolly destroy the battery too!!
Specs are fairly similar, and honestly a bit better for the s4. Like I said, the battery reviews concern me about the one and Verizon locking it down.
I wonder if a Dev edition would come out.

The HTC One is a great device, but the fact that once again Verizon is only offering a 32GB (at launch) tells me they are dragging out the 64GB later on or not at all and it really does benefit from the extra storage space. The Front Facing Speakers do kick ass.

Also I noticed on the the FCC spec sheet AWS LTE was not listed as a radio band. That was my reason for no longer waiting for HTC ONE and getting the Galaxy S4.

I believe it is something Verizon plans on rolling out this year. I believe it could potentially double bandwidth speeds. I figured, few devices support it and for the HTC ONE to drop the ball on this is too bad. I really did want the HTC ONE over the S4. But when the FCC spec sheet came out and 32GB S4 released, made my decision easy.
