Calling 911 - HTC Rezound

Since when does calling 911 start a 5 minute data shutdown? This a new ics feature? I had to call in a prius playing chicken with my tractor trailer on interstate. After the call I get notification saying data is off with a timer in emergency mode. I use 911 often as I'm always calling in drunks, wrecks, fires etc. Never seen this before on android

No it's not a ics feature. I think it's an android feature cause my droid razr did it on GB.

Android feature. You can cancel it when prompted after the 911 call is over.

..you're kidding, right?
if you're seeing a wreck and you take the time to call it in, you're a good semaritan. if some dumb **** is playing chicken with you as a TRUCK DRIVER, you're just going to let it happen? call that **** in and hope that stupid asshat gets a ticket. i'm sorry dude, but that was just an ignorant, asinine comment on your part.

and calling in drunk drivers makes sense, even if you suspect it. chances are, whoevers stupid enough to drink and drive deserves what they get, but you know what, i'm feeling nice lately, so i'd rather report them to save their idiotic lives.

I call alot of things in hell I pay a 911 fee we all do. I'm no highway angel. But if I potentially save life or a family its well worth it. And if your stranded in a storm and your in a ditch with no phone wouldn't you want someone to call in help?
Better yet heaven forbid your child or significant other kidnapped abducted etc we see an amber alert with a plate number matching description should we not snitch? I'll tell you first hand I will call it in and call it over the radio and box that vehicle in.

Nice stuff man, if there were more people like you i'd still have some good friends around.
Yeah, i accidentally dialed 911 the other day and a siren popped up with a timer and scared the **** out of me lol

What is the purpose of the timeout? Just to make sure the phone is not being used in case they need to call you back for some reason?

And it's people with responses like this that make this forum suck.
If you have no suggestion to help OP with sound quality....get the hell out of the thread.
OP....there is a setting in call setting (I believe) for hard of hearing that ups the volume significantly although I don't know if it reduces muffling at the other end.
Try hard resetting of not. Then definitely keep demanding another one til it works.

Tell her you're not tracking her texts, the guy she's texting keeps forwarding them to you and you'd like him to stop.
Then trade her in for a newer model with the latest updates.

either way, it's not good.
So many ignorant and sexist assumptions here, it's disgusting. Some of you guys are downright pathetic.
OP, talk it out with your girlfriend, if she's genuinely paranoid, figure out the root of the paranoia, and explain to her carefully how there is nothing you can "monitor", and doing so is illegal anyway.
Just because someone is paranoid about privacy doesn't mean they have something to hide, especially when it could be that the person in question is new to the idea of a smartphone (especially a smartphone that powerful and versatile).
Unless her worries are truly causing friction in your relationship, if she is still paranoid, just let it go.

She was paranoid because she was talking to someone else and trying to hide it, therefore I left and am moving on.

I'm sorry to hear that, but that doesn't quite change what I said before; there's no need to assume every woman that is worried about privacy is a whore. That's just disgusting sexism, regardless of whether or not one thinks it's always true.
Again, sorry to hear that, I hope you find someone else you can trust better.

I'm a douche bag. Usually the first person to start accusing is the guilty one. Anyway, XDA is not match.com. The only way you can legally monitor her text messages is if you pay the bill. Then you can get all the texts forwarded to you via email, Sprint will go back 90 days.

Well HTC was pretty useless

I called HTC to ask about the bootloader unlocking tool and they directed me to the page.
I said I know that but I want to know why the Rezound one is not available and when it will be.
"We dont have that information"
Ok who does?
"We dont know"
What? well what department handles that kind of stuff.
"There isnt one"
There has to be someone who makes the unlocking tools and posts them right?
"We dont have that information, all I can say is to maybe contact the corporate office"
Ok what is the number.
"I cant give it you to you"
Ugh!!!

Why bother to ask? Everyone knows that it's Verizon requesting all the crack be blocked/locked down. Just wait for the people working on it to finish what they started. The phone is quite useable w/ debloat/desense.

As far as I know they never aired that one and anyway if you bothered to watch it to the end it says: "now with android 4.0, ice cream sandwich."
Ok so.......... I'm definitely not buying the white beats and may sell my rezound. I do NOT want to be followed around by weirdos taking pictures of me and dancing behind my back. But ics? Hmmmm.......... Had that since......... a long time ago. Anyway haha. Love my phone and by the way upgraded my plan today to 10 gb data while letting my vw rep know she has an update for her rezound. Needless to say I left and she was the happy one. Wish I could get commission, oh well.........

If you choose your phone based on default alarm sound I feel sorry for you, now go troll somewhere else.
I am almost tempted to keep the default tone for a day or two just to piss off my wife...I'm just not sure if it would piss me off even more.
