First Impressions - HTC Droid DNA

Came from ATT HOX, and these are my first impressions.
First and foremost LTE is wicked cool....at&t has no LTE anywhere near me so I've gone from 3mbs average to 27mbs and HOLY COW!!!
Was concerned about the battery, but initially I must say its great. I use my phone consistantly daily and on day 1 and day 2 the battery has lasted most of the day. My HOX lasted till 1 or 2pm at most.
The charging pad from LG works great. Makes the cover on the charging port make sense.
Phone is super snappy. Running new adw ex flawlessly.
So far I'm uber satisfied.

I love the screen. So smooth and sexy

Have had every HTC smartphone since 2007 and the DNA is the best looking, has the best OS, is the fastest, and just the best overall phone HTC has made. I love it because it suits my needs.

Finally got a chance to check this bad boy out in person, only about $110 away from getting the phone buying outright.
Can't wait.

I even enjoy the stock rom which says a lot -- custom roms will be sick on this thing

I agree that this phone is a great looking phone, my second favorite looking HTC phone, my favorite is the HTC One X in white, man I think it looks like something else, but I still think this one is top notch.

Evo 3D on it's way!

Finally pulled the trigger on the 3D, and I have been reading quite a bit on it. I wanted to know from you lucky folks having had some time with it already, what is your favorite part about the phone? What features caught you off guard, overall impression of the phone? Looks like some people are getting stellar battery life, and coming from the Evo OG, I have high expectations. (Running Synergy on the OG now, and I am digging Sense 3.0!)
Applications that REALLY belong on the Evo, and anything I should REALLY avoid.
I have been looking at the rooting community pretty closely, and it sounds like there is a wee bit o hate and discontent, but I'm sure it will settle down if and when the goodness happens with permanent root.
Thanks guys!
ALSO - What applications have you found to be PERFECT on this phone? I just snagged up a Nook Color just to flash MIUI on it, so I do have my flashing solution in the meantime...
Congrats man! You'll enjoy it, sounds like you've been keeping up on the threads so you know kinda what to expect. 3D is awesome, and I'm an old guy compared to most on here, and it amazes me. Hell, I even purchased Spider-Man and I am not a gamer, but it's a good one I think with some nice depth...really fun. My suggestion is to try to not look for faults in the device, just enjoy it as it is a huge upgrade to the OG and hopefully very soon we'll be some ROM flashing fools! As you can probably tell people are getting pretty edgy and a lot of wars going on here, too much time on our hands, so hopefully real soon lol! So welcome aboard, you're gonna love it!
A breath of fresh air Welcome aboard! Great phone, you will enjoy the heck out of it. Thanks for the enthusiasm.

Lol your rooted sense 3.0 experience won't compare with this device stock. It will be better on your evo 4g until this device is rooted. Just so you won't come compare the experience.
Its a great phone, you won't be disappointed
Camera freezes are the biggest thing for me to worry right now.
Otherwise, this phone is awesome.
If you're not a flashaholic then its the best phone you can buy right now. Even if you a flashaholic, you cannot the deny the dual core 1.2 GHz and 1 GB ram balls this beast has.

No way man, coming from the 4G running sense 3 the 3D blows it away man. Add in the two chichitec batteries and my battery life is close to double what my 4g was getting with a similar setup.
I'm content with temp root for the moment but the second I get s-off i'll have this phone flying.

Man welcome to hell this phone sux huge balls 3D is bad really bad. I have light leakage my screen is crooked my battery life sucks I only have 1 core and there is no permanent root for god sakes I want to be able to flash roms. Idk what these guys are talking about this is such a Downgrade from the OG. If no permanent root before 7/24 I'm taking it back.....
Now that you've heard all the bs, this is the best phone i've ever had my hands on and 2011 I had most of the new hot smart phones my favorite was the OG Evo. This phone is a keeper for sure the 3D is wonderful the phone is completely fast as hell and I really don't have any complaints.
Bang.... That's the sound of my shooter.

I did notice that. Fortunately the Synergy Rom is providing some meantime amusement. I'll have to look into the spideman game, I've been such a nut for Plants v Zombies, abduction 2, and quite a few others I was lucky enough to get from that Amazon free application deal. Thanks for the words, and I'm pretty sure I'll be enjoying it!

Good to know. I'm sure it will tide me over until development allows for alternatives.
SIDENOTE:
Do you have the T-Mo Espresso still? My Fiance has that, and I really haven't found a Sense based rom that is really stable... You know of any? She's on one of the latest nightlies of Cyanogenmod, but I have not been able to find a dumbed-down-enough method of S-Off, so it is still S-On, and I have to do that "update" anytime I want to enter the custom recovery. What method did you use for S off? Seen any good sense Roms?

Self proclaimed flashaholic... but I think I can deal. That's the exact reason I finally went for it, the dual core really sold me on it. Truth be told, I have not even had the luxury of putting hands on one yet. The first one I see will be mine! I feel like Cartman waiting for the Nintendo Wii...

Now THAT is good to hear. Temp-root still sounds good to me. If they've gotten this thing to 1.8mhz without a meltdown, I'd assume it can take some pretty decent frequencies consistently. Time will tell.

Hey just wanted to add that I noticed you said "finally pulled the trigger". Good pun considering you just bought a "Shooter" haha....
I'll tell you what really caught me off guard was the little things they implemented in sense 3.0. On my OG EVO I had to get different apps to do things that are now built-in. It was a welcome surprise. The back speaker disappointed me a little at first, but I weened myself off of it and I'm used to it now. Overall its an awesome phone, but you don't need to hear it from me... I really feel like I have the top of the line for now, and it seems that its only gonna get better.

Well that is good to hear about the 3.0, I've grown pretty accustomed to Sense 3.0 Elements on the OG!
It IS the top of the line, for now, as is all electronic hardware. But I think it will be able to hold up for a full year. Imagine, soon we will be looking back at the Shooter wondering how we ever got along with such a slow 3D phone, especially when 5G and 6G is all the rave... lol
I'll have it in the next day or two... Xmas coming early!
Welcome...you enjoy the speed of this demon....don't you... I miss synergy also but we are shortly ( hopefully ) getting custom roms to take care of that and others that could not be run on the evo 4g. You will notice a few things different and they what ever they are I found are quickly forgotten the more you use the phone. If you haven't already...temp root...download barnacle for wifi tethering and what ever you use...get your titanium and you will be all set. There is a lot of bickering around here...that is true...but one thing I noticed..it is the new users who have no idea what's up come in here and start them...or haters coming in and bashing the 3vo saying it is not this or that( most of the time, they don't even own one).. Or long time community members with a agenda..you are right..once perm root comes along with unlocked phones..it will settle down and become more positive.

Amaze

I'm HTC fanboy, thinking of buying the Amaze, but now that I've seen the ROOTED light, don't want to buy it if it's not gonna be getting love from the devs, already it looks like the SG2 is ahead. any thought s appreciated

Just don't get TMO SGSII, that thing is a fake galaxy. If you ever buy a Sammy make sure it's using Cortex A9 or Exynos, don't bother with a Qualcomm Sammy phone. And buy the Sensation or Amaze, both are essentially the same excluding the internal storage, camera, and RAM size.
And there is already a MIUI THREAD. that did it Amaze it is. now just hoping tmo has black Friday sale. I'm not upgrade eligible, so I'm gonna wait til that Friday and hope for some luck. getting it either way, but on sale would be nice

Goodbye, Rezound!

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!
Sent from my Nexus 4
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!!

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!

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.

but as of thursday I now am an owner of the G2 (vzw) and would like to thank the developers here and any contributors for making the rezound one of the best experiences of owning a phone so far! Thank you!
On a side note anyone thinking about switching to the G2 should give it a try. I love how fast this thing is and the rom is pretty well customizable and still shocks me a little when i find more and more little options daily. Ive had no problems so far and gaining root was simple as could be. Give it a shot as long as its not physically to big for your liking.

Seems really good so far just as good as my rezzy but i have been in vegas all weekend the true test will be when i get back home to my small town in the middle of nowhere this afternoon

thanks for sharing G2 is a good phone!
how is the user interface in terms of smoothness? Is the web browser scrolling and other scrolling as smooth as the iphone?
I think it's super smooth it wipes the floor with my modded rezound, but as far as iPhone....... um I wouldn't know. I've never used one longer then a few mins. So I'm the wrong person to ask about that.

I also retired my Rezound last week for a G2. What a difference! Development is moving along quickly for the G2 so I'm hoping for some great roms soon.
Would you say the G2 is worth losing unlimited data over?
I didn't chance it, I bought outright. But I do have nothing but praise for this phone and could only hope for some of your expertise to add to this phone!

Leaving the Rezound

hey all,
Its actually a sad day for me. My rezound finally totally kicked the bucket and i no long have a deving device. So after some thought, i desided that I will no longer be doing deveolopment for the Rezound. Its been a fun ride while it lasted, but with family, work, and other things going on, my time has been spread very thin. I hope you all continue to enjoy the rezzy and i hope ill run into some of the rezound community on another part of the forums.
If anyone is wondering, I went with the LG G2 and if i ever find some time again to dev, it will be for that device
Thanks everyone for your support, and contributions that made developing the rezound so much fun. Also thanks to all the other dev that help me get started with ROM development
It's sad to see you go. I loved your ROMs very much and I hope you provide your awesome skills to the G2 community. You did very well here and you deserve to rest; Many thanks for everything!

After 2 years I retired my Rezound and purchased a Galaxy S4. I was also able to keep my unlimited data which the possible loss of made me keep the Rezound longer than I wanted to. I started to wait for the Galaxy S5 but I got such a good deal on the S4, which was free at BB after 50.00 gift card I took advantage. The few upgrades in the S5 were not worth spending a couple hundred dollars more.

Retired my Rezound and on the G2 now. This thing is a beast.

The time has come for me as well. My dad wanted to preorder the S5 and Verizon was offering a second phone for free. I was going to try to wait for the G3 but went with the One (M8) now because... free.
My fiance doesn't have a smartphone so she'll be moving to my Rezound. Maybe I'll take her upgrade once the LG comes out.
Same. Just got a nexus 4. It's been real.

Don't miss the device but miss seeing the quirky posts daily from you guys. Since moving to the g2 this turned from hobby to time burner for me.
Retired my Rezound for a shiny new Nexus 5. Also told VZW adios and am using AIO Wireless.

Sad goodbye.
I to will be leaving the trusty Rezound behind tomorrow. I had many roms I liked but the two that stand out the most was Neos Tachyon and Liquidsmooth 2.37. I want to thank everyone for thier hard work, you helped me take steps into the world of Custom Roms. Ive since then Moded a Razor Maxx, a Galaxy S3 and my Transformer TF700T. My wife and I get to trade in for the new Galaxy S5 tomorrow. So with a sad heart I say goodbye and good luck my friends.
May the force be with you. Always.

hey all,
Its actually a sad day for me. My rezound finally totally kicked the bucket and i no long have a deving device. So after some thought, i desided that I will no longer be doing deveolopment for the Rezound. Its been a fun ride while it lasted, but with family, work, and other things going on, my time has been spread very thin. I hope you all continue to enjoy the rezzy and i hope ill run into some of the rezound community on another part of the forums.
If anyone is wondering, I went with the LG G2 and if i ever find some time again to dev, it will be for that device
Thanks everyone for your support, and contributions that made developing the rezound so much fun. Also thanks to all the other dev that help me get started with ROM development

How do you like the G2? I love the front with the beautiful screen and tiny bezels...just wasn't sure how I felt about the buttons on the back...

Every phone should have buttons on the back... Why manufacturers didn't implement this before is beyond me, once you have it a while you will see how natural it feels to have them there. Plus with knock on/off you only use volume buttons, I rarely ever even touch the power button.

Hey, its takes a little getting use to, but overall i love it. I notice for the most part i dont use the buttons on the back. It has the knock on and knock off feature which is implemented really nice. so 95% if the time i use that. The only time i really use the buttons, is when i need to adjust the volumes. Other then that, the phone has been rock solid, fast, great battery life. My only complaint is the speakers are not the best and not super loud, the rezzy smokes it any day, but overall, the best phone ive had in a long time, including the rezzy.

After 2 years I retired my Rezound and purchased a Galaxy S4. I was also able to keep my unlimited data which the possible loss of made me keep the Rezound longer than I wanted to. I started to wait for the Galaxy S5 but I got such a good deal on the S4, which was free at BB after 50.00 gift card I took advantage. The few upgrades in the S5 were not worth spending a couple hundred dollars more.

You know, i was real disappointed when the finally released the specs on the s5. Made some small improvement, but not enough to justify the wait or the extra money. Personally I tell people to go with the s4 unless the s5 has a feature that the must have.
Sold my last Rezound yesterday... was a mixed bag of feelings, I loved working with it, everything I learned over the years, and the community, yet I really love my new devices.

What device did you get again? Not sure what I'll be doing. We may jump ship. I can't afford VZW anymore. We have 4 lines on the old 1400 minute plan each of us with $30 data and we're up to nearly $300/month. If we switch to Share Everything, it would be even more. But if we don't, trying to decide between the G2 and the One Max. Why are we such slaves to technology?

My personal phone is a Nexus 4 on Aio Wireless, works great and I save a ton of money every month. If I had to get a phone today it would be the Moto G, my son has one and the battery life is ridiculous, 7 hours screen on time for web browsing and basic use and it out performs the Rezound in all aspects except camera.

Looks like the Moto G is 3G only. I'm considering the Nexus 5 if we go to T-Mobile. Also considering AIO as well. If we can't finance our phones with T-Mobile, then there no reason not to go with an MVNO, right?
