It does seem sort of backwards though. Im not sure why they wouldnt put the kickstand the other way out of the box to begin with. But it works either way so its no biggie.
That's why its so rigid!!!!

Actually it has 3 ways to use the kick stand. both landscape views and portrait.
Swyped from my eVo
Indeed. I tend to use it in portrait mode far more than either landscape view.

I think they designed it that way so you could adjust the volume while playing videos and hoping the phone is charged enough.
They should've just put both on the same side.
Does anybody think that over time the kickstand won't have that same snap to hold it in reverse landscape? I'm giving it a 50-50.

For whatever reason, at random times, the media volume of my phone will just flat out mute. Once mute, I am unable to get it up, even through the sound settings, it'll just go back to mute. My only fix so far is to restart the phone, but it gets really annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anybody know why causes it? I did the whole increase volume thing with QPST and made the volume Lv4. I seemed as if everything worked correctly, but I noticed absolutely no change in volume =_=;
First suggestion, get another phone. I had the same problem...

I had it happen.. it happened a lot with my g2x... And anytime I ran cm7 I had to reboot... I'm guessing just a faulty media driver or something else as it doesn't happen often.
Try a to download a different media player (music only obviously) from the market
Or just reboot your phone and increase the media volume in the "settings"
Im sure if its a major bug the developer's will find a fix

My slider is perfect, it snaps and takes the right amount of effort to slide. I've had two of these phones because of a part number mixup, had the first one for an entire weekend and both are perfect, good slider, no dust, light leak or dead pixels.

Fix: Go into Sound settings and change the Sound profile to Normal (preferably before launching the game, but works after-the-fact too, if you forget). Mine defaulted to Vibrate, and it seems that this game is programmed to disable sound (only after the splash screen and intro video, go figure) if it detects this or the Silent profile. Now I can hear the game, for a change.

Doesn't sound like a phone problem lol sorry I couldn't resist lol
So this week I've discovered a hidden feature on my Rezound: it doubles as a portable pocket burner. Not sure if that is too be expected (having read through the other battery threads, it seems that 120°F is typical eye-bulge territory), but if it happens again i'll probably start the replacement phone process.
This happened off charger, just playing a high quality graphics game for 20 minutes.
Just seems a bit high to me, but any further insight is welcome. (as a comparison i've read on the Galaxy Nexus forums that a few folks are getting ancy at around the 120°F mark as well).
Maybe the Rezound is just has a poor design in reference to heat dissipation? Maybe I have a defect? I can live with it, so long as I know its not that big of a deal. I'd like to avoid waking up next to a phone shaped melt hole on my night stand.
Did you try frying any bacon or eggs on the screen?
Phone would triple as a portable skillet! Lol

If I remember correctly, I was using the new Onlive app for the temp in my OP (but it gets north of 125°F commonly on normal games). If you (or anyone else reading this) have that app, would you mind running it for few minutes & reporting back? It wouldn't surprise me if it played a role in tipping the temp over the edge (Onlive is a magical service // magic = power).

^^ Nice. This is what we all need to know. Can you do something fancy / intensive w/ your replacement phone for a few minutes and see if you can get it into bacon mode again? (gaming or streaming w/ 4G enabled, etc).
If we can confirm that "hot phone" is somehow a hardware issue, its warranty time.

Anyone ever go into download mode and notice that their phone is making a 'clicking' noise. Really the only way to describe it. If the phone isn't in download mode, no clicking when connected to the USB cable.
Yeah, I've heard it before as well. I just imagine it's tiny little Samsung elves laboring away inside the phone, making $#!t happen.
It's the hard drive.

I get it too, but usually after installing a rom while rebooting.
Thats just the loudspeaker given short spurts of electricity. Or sparks inside your phone that makes the battery explode, not sure.
Its the LTE radio trying to connect to the towers so your phone can boot up to 10X faster than 3G boot times.
It's the BEATS hardware giving you a little somtin-somtin while you wait.

I don't normally post just to post...but had to say I LOL'ed a couple times. Wonder which one of these is true?
Maybe ALL of them! YES!
Sat here and tried to come up with my own add on...but I can't match those.
I bought some NFC Tags to see if they would work on the Evo 4G LTE, and I was clueless! There was preformatted, ultra lights, and etc. I had no clue which ones would work. Turns out the first ones I tried, worked great on my EVO 4G LTE and Galaxy Nexus!

You're welcome. They are just cool, that's all. I truly can see the whole "CM9" and "Profiles" coming in handy! I would stick one in my truck and tap it every time I got in it, to set my phone to loud. lol
I can think of a few things to do with NFC tags, just need to get around to ordering a few.
Anyone have any recommendations on what to get? I'm assuming the larger capacity tags are good, esp for writing complex tasks.
I think NFC tags are rather useless. I keep wanting to use them but can't think of a useful way of using them. If want to put my phone on silent, I'll just use the volume rocker thank you very much. Could someone even tell me what complex task can't be done with just a few strokes?

I have 4 NFC tags.
1) For buddies that visit me frequently to launch Foursquare and check-in to my place quickly
2) A simple Normal to Silent profile toggle. Comes in handy when my daughter is napping. And is much quicker to use since I don't even have to unlock my phone to use it.
3) A switch that toggles a Do Not Disturb profile for bedtime. (I would not be able to toggle this easily without an NFC tag. I would have to set it to a specific time each day. Which is lame)
4) A switch at work that will put my phone into Vibrate mode and launch a ticketing website that I use for work. Then when tapped before leaving it puts my phone back into a Normal profile and sends a text to my wife telling her I'm on my way home. I keep this one by my light switch and turn my light on/off with phone in hand.
NFC tags aren't useful for everyone. But it's definitely helped me automate some of the more mundane and annoying tasks I do every day. And saves me a bunch of time doing them.
I think I need to get some of these...
I just got a pack of them and idk how i was able to live without them. One in the car that toggles betwin bluetooth on and wifi off abd it launches the music player. Other on my bed that turns all volumes down and my alarm sound up. They are nice to play with.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
1st: to make them more useful I used the mod to allow their use during screen off and lock. If I had to turn on the phone and unlock it NFC would be much less useful.
2nd: I don't have any complicated tags. The main one I use turns off wifi and toggles Bluetooth, and starts Multiplayer. So after I start driving I just have to touch the phone to the dash and my music wirelessly starts.
Its not complicated but it is much better than having to turn on the phone, unlock it, scroll to my widget and turn on Bluetooth. I never have to look down off the road.

Why does it have to be a complicated task? Why not just tap your phone to an NFC tag to mute it? or Pop open Pandora when you sit at your desk at work?
Yes, tasks are simple, but they are also repetitive in a lot of cases. Why not have the phone do it for you?

Have a mixture of tasks per tag.
One example is my office desk's tag:
Ring: Off/Vibrate
Notifications: Medium
GPS: Off
WiFi: On
Media Vol: Off

Tags For Droid. They're the best bang for the buck. You get the largest storage size I've seen at 1KB and a free keychain tag. And they cost the same as others of equal quantities with much less storage, that I've seen on Amazon.

I have been using my Rez as a dashcam for a few months since getting the S4 and during the last cold snap it killed it. I walked out to the car and it appeared to be charging, then tried to power on and it kicked the bucket. No lights, sounds, nothing. Tried swapping batteries, and still can't get it to respond. Oh well, RIP Rezound.
