depating on purchasing a Rezound - HTC Rezound

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.

Great phone. Only thing that sucks is battery like everyone has already said. I need to pick up a spare battery myself.

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.

[Q] Is the amaze 4G a good phone to get?

Hi
Well I was wondering since I'm about ready for my Tmobile phone upgrade, I wanted to know if the amaze 4G is a good phone to have. I'm currently using the HTC Wildfire S and I want to get it out of my sight. Please comment if this is a good idea to get this phone before I upgrade. Thanks
Since you're so close to your upgrade you might want to wait for the One S.
If you can handle not being able to have a spare battery and SD card. You do get a s4 processor which should get better battery life and perform better also.

Yes but it's gonna be too expensive from the look of it. Also since the one s is going out, there is a good chance of the amaze prices to drop dramatically.
Well I just bought an amaze today, have to wait for it to come. Im not on post-paid and I don't feel like dropping $700 on a phone for he One S.
I probably would've waited if I had a contract. The Amaze is great so I hear.. will know in a few days.
I think its really down to your personal preference, an little older CPU with a SD card and spare batteries. Or a new CPU with no spare battery and 16gb locked.
I was tempted to wait, but ended with the Amaze.
Sent from my incredible using XDA
Thanks for your opinion. Looks like I'm getting an amaze
I just brought my third amaze yesterday. Now my wife, daughter and I have one. Looked at a couple other options and weighing the pros and cons, the amaze came out on top, again
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA Premium App
Amaze Hands down! i was considering Galaxy SII X but Amaze has better resolution, beter cameras (Front and back) even though its heavier imo it has a 'nicer' design. The cons are as follows:
-Weight
-Lack of Rom Development (We havent achieved S-OFF, and WIFI Drivers are a problem so i read)
-Screen Bleed at the capacitive buttons at the problem ... not a big deal its just at the bottom it will look brighter.)
-battery might suck on stock. For me im running stock and i get full 24 hour usage (phone calls, texting, tweeting, facebooking, browsing, music)
Pros: everything else

Thanks and im getting this phone
So how much did each of you pay when you first got it from tmobile?
i bought mine out right bnib for 380$
bought mine from a guy on xda for $360 with box in new condition. only thing messed up is the vibration (it rattles). that's it though
I don't regret buying it at all, I like the heft to it. it makes it feel expensive. the only other phone I wish I would have waited for is the xperia s which isn't much of a upgrade. considering it has the same processor and same amount of RAM, only huge plus is that its playstation certified and the design.
Mine was 350 with contract but if I would've waited one more week it would've Ben free but I don't care. I love my phone

im on a value plan, so i paid $625 minus $225 rebate. after tax it was like $430 or something. decent phone, lack of development knocks it down a few notches for me tho. when the s3 comes out, this phone is history

I love my amaze! Upgraded from the G2 so this phone is lighter compared to the G2. Ya support is low ATM but we have some good devs working on some AOSP ROM's. S-off is still down the road but I'm sure it will be obtained, once that happens and we have cm 9 running I'll bet people will be more interested in this device.
And I got mine for about 350 after the rebate and discount.

I'm looking into another device and like the rezound just want some insight on if its worth the plunge or not

the rezound is a good phone, i think beats was sorta a gimmick though. about the only other phone id take is the razr maxx for the battery life.

Yea, that battery life would be awesome although my rezound with the extended battery is working fine for me.
My boss just bought the maxx & after seeing how absolutely awful the pentile screen looks next to the incredible rezound screen I could NEVER buy the maxx......
Yeah man...Like the above poster said...Beats is sort of a gimmick but other than that this phone is amazing.
The lack of roms is sort of a downer but the screen is beautiful/battery life is legit/it's fast and just plain sexy.
I don't regret the purchase at all especially when it was on sale for 99$ and extended batt for 25...really can't beat that deal..
Ill like the rezound better once we get aosp.
I personally love the rezound. I went through the Bionic and Razr before finally being happy with a new phone. There are just too many things to list about how nice the phone is.
I will give you what I think is its highest selling point to me personally. A True HD screen
lack of roms? dude we have some of the best developers here putting out roms almost daily, wth are you talking about lol

+10000 on this. For me...one of the biggest reasons I picked this phone was the dev and themeing community that came along with it. A few of those guys have been supporting my phones and their subsequent upgrades for a heck of a lot longer than my carrier did.
There is no lack of roms. This device has very active development. The choices of roms and mods are great. One of reasons I like this phone other than its dependability is all the great roms I can try out.
Sent from my Rezound
Only drawback for me is the battery so far. I'll stop short before I say the stock battery I got isn't performing as well as it should until I do more analysis.
And what is meant by is this smartphone all it is cracked up to be? By whose standards? I don't see it getting 5.0 reviews anywhere. HTC is quietly brilliant regardless!!
And I checked into the Galaxy sII as much as I did the Rezound and the latter is what I bought!

Did you come from the galaxy nexus?

Recently picked up the Note 2 but it's just too wide for me... I'm seriously considering the DNA but am nervous about the similar battery size to my Nexus.
Did anyone specifically come from a Nexus and if so what have you noticed? I've read almost every thread I can find on battery life and haven't seen many comments regarding this.
Thanks everyone...

I came from a Nexus. Everything is fine over on my end. Haven't rooted or done anything and all is well...
I came from a verizon gnex and for me I get the same battery life on the DNA as I did with the Gnex with a customer kernel about a day with medium usage. thats texting, little gaming and 30 mins of talking a day over bluetooth.
I've got my nexus as well, and I can tell you the DNA kills the nexus in terms of screen alone..my nexus is one of those launch ones with the horrible yellow hue and banding issues...it's such an awful screen ugh I can't even look at it for more than five minutes without wanting to kill...lol

I also came from a VZW GNex and IMO battery life is noticeably better worth this device. I'm also not modded in any way yet for what it's worth.
i've noticed better as well. my gnex was never horrible like most people claimed it was..it was pretty much like my rezound..which the DNA kills lol

You can get through a whole day with 4-5 hours in screen no problem.

I was lucky if I could get through an 8 hour day with my Galaxy Nexus. My DNA is rooted and I've been running UKB without any issues - battery life has been phenomenal and I regularly am capable of going the entire day without needing a charge; and my phone gets used a fair amount. Overall I have to say I am EXTREMELY happy with the switch from the gNex to my DNA.
Thanks everyone that's what I needed to hear! I'll be picking one up soon...

What's funny is I was sitting in the Verizon store while returning the Note 2 and all I could think about was "will I be able to de-sense this?"...
But when I got home and put my SIM back in Nexus (which I hadn't used for ten days) I realized I had been using a sense theme lmao...
I have a feeling I won't mind sense too much. I did have a TBolt before my Nexus anyways. Thanks again for everyone's comments!

I came from the gnex to the dna and honestly, I love the dna. Sense 4+ is pretty nice imo, sure it's not aosp but HTC did some really nice things with sense.
Battery life is hands down phenomenal compared to the nexus. I was running aokp with imoseyons lean kernel under clocked. Just driving into work listening to a podcast for an hour would drop my battery almost 10% on my nexus extended battery. It used 6% for the same podcast, updating market apps and an hour of screen on time (dimmed) on my dna.

Edit: this should have said 8% used on dna, not 6. Also I'm always on 4g, I don't use wifi, I have unlimited data.
I dont mind sense at all, the phone is fast.

I agree. I came from a nexus and my battery life is amazing compared to it lol. I do miss stock 4.2 but there are a lot of pros with this phone compared to the nexus. Screen is mouth watering and sense looks so clean on 1080p. Currently running stock rom that's rooted, debloated, and deodexed. But you best believe once we have s-off, I will be flashing aosp lol

I came from a nexus, i was a little iffy about going away from a device with so much development but the dna really is a great device. DNA's battery is significantly better than my gnex even with the extended battery. Im rooted and debloated but the rom and kernel are stock.

HTC One

How does everyone feel about this device? I'm a year away from an upgrade so I won't be getting it, that and its not on Verizon. I really love the look of the phone, and I like Sense, just not that new UI screen.

After the Rezound I'm officially done with HTC for good, if it want for the developer community we (luckily) have I would have bought a GNEX off contract. It's not just the Rezz either, from the thunderbolt to the One X and S HTC is consistently lagging behind. Finally and most importantly they diffuse to keep yo with android as a whole, were the years into on screen nav keys and HTC still continues to use causative buttons ( so much more screen room, still on that ugly ass green color when the blue is much more inviting it also clashes with Google apps. It looks like Motorola and sammy have finally stepped it up so that's where I am going.

Samsung has been on the ball the last few phones they have released yes the charge was an abysmal failure but as of late moto and Sammy are leaps and bounds over HTC which is a dam Shame because I love their cameras, radios, screens, and design.

If it's true that a VZW version will drop as the DNA+ in a couple of months, that will be my next phone. Identical specs to the One and it's supposed to have microSd card support as well. Basically, what the DNA should have been in the first place.

No way. Not doing the ril stuff anymore. Really delays Rom development.
Rezound, s-off, loving it.
Pretty tempted to go with Sammy for the next phone too..ive done the Moto/LG/HTC experiences..guessing its about time for me to join the sheep of the Android world and get a Galaxy (unless the rumored Moto X phone is really something beastly). Hope the SGS4 won't disappoint, not a fan of their design and build quality but hard to be disappointed with their hardware and software. I'll probably still be on the Rez for a bit longer anyway though..VZW will probably lag way behind again in releasing the SGS4, and I hate paying full upgrade pricing when I can wait 2 or 3 months and have the price halved or even better. Still love the Rez in its own right. I never had any real complaints about the Rez (and yes, especially because of the amazing devs we have here) but I hope my next phone is 1. Lighter (it's about the same weight as my old Droid 2 for god's sake) 2. is considerably better on battery life. Camera/reception/screen etc. I think have always been fantastic on this device.
I am VERY curious though to see a battery test on the HTC One..battery seems like it's fairly decent in capacity, but I wonder how much more (if even) that new cpu will get out of it.
Its nice to see community members react to a failing company ... What's a good phone with out good software and documentation... I mean look at the lg optimus age or the moto artix HD you'll understand

I'm not understanding this. HTC is a failing company because they are failing the consumers that were once loyal. My first phone was the DINC and I love that thing, I still love my Rezound as well it's a great phone and I got so much more than with the GNEX and RZR. HTC even began unlocking boot loaders for those who wanted I was really high on my HTC horse but the more and more I hear about the update problems HTC is having while others are moving forward clearly shows that buying a new HTC device is a gamble. I mean the RAZR is getting OFFICIAL JB. Another thing to consider the incredible 4g came out after the Rezound with worse specs and that was it until the DNA came out? They move a step forward them two steps back it makes no sense. I will say however Motorola is also guilty of this in Some ways with the max line just like HTC + lines. Samsung is winning the battle because sadly they are just ding it properly. I hope I see HTC make strides over the year because I will be leaving Verizon sooner rather than later. Pretty sure I'm going to switch to T-MO everything unlimited plan no contacts or carrier chains sounds amazing and new nexus devices whenever I feel like it straight from Google. Sounds like heaven.

I wish phone makers and carriers would stop pushing that cloud crap. Only reason phone makers likes it is because they can stop putting a SD slot in save money and then charge the same price. The carriers likes cloud because with no more unlimited plans on many of the carriers. That means more people will run the risk of going over and they can charge outrageous overage fees.

Non removable battery or if the phone doesn't have more that 32 gigs no sale. I don't believe in the cloud for all my data or my music. I don't like to use the cloud for privacy reasons and it drains my battery faster. Only cloud I use is my own or ssh to my own computer and get files that way. I do like this phone but my rezound experience has been less than stellar. Thinking I'll give Samsung a try on there next phone.

everybody cries about battery. i don't care; i carry my backpack with me where i go, which includes a charger, 2 spare batteries, and my 10,000mah external charger. and at home, i've got a 5500mah solar external charger by Joos. to me, battery life isn't a big deal. my DNA got the same/better battery life than my S3 does.

A bit of tact would flatter you, unless you're a teenie bopper, in which case I'll forgive you. You have a point and while the software and hardware has steadily improved in utilizing the batteries, I d still say it's still far from ideal.
I'm glad you don't mind carrying all that extra stuff around but I'd like to be able to rely on the device and the battery that comes with it, rather than having to resort to additional measures.

3x the battery life for Droid DNA

http://www.consumerelectronicsnet.c...erizon-HTC-Droid-DNA-From-Mugen-Power-2687032
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.

Definitely want one of these but 90-100$ is a bit steep imo.
Looks good but I wouldn't pay that much fir a case.

1. It makes the phone huge
2. Its way high on price.

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

100 dollars is not worth it especially since my phone easily lasts 40+ hours.

With what one hour of screen on time?
I'd be all for it if they were cheaper.

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
are there no bigger internal batteries for the dna?

No, it doesn't have a removable battery.:crying:
what about opening the phone and swapping out the stock battery with a bigger one?
Then how are you gonna put the back back on it?

Has anyone bought the 3000mah one? It doesn't look too bulky by the pic but the website only has one picture so I don't know

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.
