Sooo, many of you may know that I had been trying to decide whether or not to make the exchange from the Nexus to the Rezound and today I did. Boy am I impressed and EXTREMELY happy with my decison! My favorite thing? Beats audio hands down. Such amazing sound from those headphones! More on what I love about it compared to the Nexus later...thanks for your help with my decision guys!

You and me both. I had traded a defective rezound in for the nexus and couldn't stay away. The rezound is a better phone.

The screen quality in my opinion is much much better than the Nexus as well. Higher PPI and a true RGB hd display. The color reproduction on slcd screens is also better IMO. Idk, I just love this phone. Lol. I also picked up the extended battery and it makes the phone super thick but for some reason it really doesn't bother me.

Yeah, me being a plasma lover, well Panasonic and pioneer anyway, I am torn. The GNex had the really dark inky blacks I love, but the Vigor has the really accurate colors I love. Why can't we has both.

Welcome to the superior device. My friend that has a Gnex said my screen is pixelated.. I laughed straight into his face and I was like..Just like an apple fan boy! Always in denial.
I was on a waiting list for months to get the GN.
When I finally saw one however, I didn't want it anymore. What a cheaply made pile of ****.
Two of my coworkers have them (both are going back). One already has the back held on with duct tape.

I'm glad so many Android pros love this phone.it's my first smartphone and I really do love it. I stated researching at least 8 months ago and it finally came down to Rezound or Nexus and I picked this due to specs of screen and removable sd card and also because it had sense and I love it all! I'm keeping sense even after I learn how to root.

Beats audio sucks lol. I'm a audiophile. My photon sounded better than this phone until I installed dsp manager and used the virtual room option with beats audio enabled.
But out the box, I was disappointed, its no where near as loud as my photons output but everything else about the phone is better. But now with dsp manager installed, sound is amazing.

LOL, I'm not an "audiophile" although I could be.
I owned a very high end stereo shop for 10 years and sold audiophile amps/pre-amps/$50 a foot speaker wire, $10,000 speakers etc)
So yea, I can hear the difference but I don't really give a sh!t. As long as my music plays real loud & has plenty of bass I think it sounds just fine.
I LOVE the sound of my Rezound running both beats & DSP with the settings shown here listening through my Beats solo phones.

On my rezound on 4g I did a speed test and got 43mb down. At home 5-7mb. Why do you think my home still connects at 4g but is so much slower?
Also I can't download from the web but can surf the web where I got 43mb. I wonder why??
And at home I connect at 4g but it changes to 3g sometimes.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
You probably have a weaker signal at home.
Hi. Here's an update.
I don't have the Rezound now. Returned it and got an iPhone 4s white 32gb yesterday. Didn't like how siri sucked for me and couple other issues so I returned it today.
I got today the Galaxy Nexus. While setting it up it changed from 4G to 3G a lot. I think most of the time it said 3G. What's going on? The rezound said 4G more often. Now with the Nexus, I think it says 3g more.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
dude, you got a samsung! ;D
There have been numerous complaints about the galaxy nexus having a weak radio. Should have stuck with the rezound.
Who let you keep switching out the phone? Usually they only let you switch out a device once.

I was off contract. My contract ended couple weeks ago. They always told me I could return it within 14 days.
I didn't keep the Rezound because I have the Droid Incredible and the Rezound screen didn't seem that much better. No wow factor really. I liked it, just not much better I thought. I liked the ear buds and the 4G. Sense had couple nice things my Incredible doesn't have.
Got Nexus cus it was nicer screen some say. And its ICS. I did see a Rezoumd vs Nexus review and he said Nexus was about 3mbps slower 4G then the Rezound download and about 1 or 2mbps lower on the upload. Some recommend Nexus over Rezound so I thought I would try the Nexus now.

Where I work I get 4G signal on one or two bars, while a coworker on his Galaxy Nexus only get 3G. I guess it has to due with maybe a reception issue on the Galaxy Nexus.
Tbaker, is yer phone a nexus?
I think I'm taking the nexus back and getting the Rezound again today after I wake up. It's 2am pst for me and I go to bed soon.
I play monopoly on my nexus and it has major touch issues and a sound issue too. Didn't have this issue so much with the Rezound when I had it. I'm a bit bugged.
But I like if possible to have ICS no sense on the Rezound.
I'm just bothered by the nexus worse signal and couple other things. So maybe I can get ICS on the Rezound. I do like Senseless ICS though.

That's a lot of phones in a short period of time. Verizon might flag you, and you might get stuck with the GN.

I did alot of reading before pulling the trigger on my upgrade. I was coming from an OG droid , so really wanted an updated phone this time. I figured it was the Gnex from all the hype and being a dev phone etc.. Luckily, I waited a bit and read the forums for the 3 big phones. Saw that the Gnex had alot of radio strength issues, so went with the Rezound because as much as I like to play with the phone it still needs to work for me.
I don't know how much you read prior to getting the Gnex , but you could have found out the common issues without having to try it out
Yeah I did read the engadget reviews on the nexus and saw a video comparing the nexus and resound. Every article or review basically said the nexus was the one to get. The video guy said and showed the nexus was 3mb slower on the 4g download and 1 or 2 mb slower on 4g upload.
I'm taking the nexus back. I can't stand the touch issues in monopoly and right now I hate the nexus keyboard. Its pausing every couple letters really bad. Plus I don't like how low the speaker is cus I listen to the bible when I go to bed. Nexus sounds poor and lower volume.
But what I don't like about the Resound is how it is so similar to my incredible. The screen doesn't seem much better then my incredible. But it may if it ran ics without sense. That possible with a rom? I liked the 4g and speaker wàs OK. Included earbuds were nice except kept falling out my ears lol. Plus rezound is $100 cheaper then the nexus. Yet still includes the ear buds.

That means every thing looks good when you don't have it, but when you do have it, it isn't worth the hype.
In other words, buyer's remorse.
You don't think the screen is much better than the incredible? Either you are blind or you got a bad screen. I had an incredible the amoled one even, the screens aren't even comparable, if you want to compare screens compare it to the nexus and the rezound still wins.
Oh ok lol.
I got the rezound again few hrs ago. I'm just noticing an anti glare type coating on the rezound screen. I notice stuff on the whole screen when looking at it from an Angle. Really buggs me. I hate anti glare coating on anything and I prefer the clear screens of tv, monitor etc even with glare. What I am referring to looks a lot like anti glare coating.
The 4g signal though it for sure better then the nexus.

Since my experience with my infuse was so horrible and I mean horrible (replaced 5 times) they are allowing me to upgrade my second line early so I figured I'd spend it on the Gnote, my primary line is up next January so I figured the note will hold me over for 11 months. How good is it? I've played with one briefly the other day and really liked it.

Its great so far , get it. You have 30 days to play with it just in case.

You won't be sorry! I came from an iPhone 4S and I'm not sure the camera is quite as good but its still excellent. And the rest of the phone is far better! I'm in love with the screen and I'm just beginning to get the hang of editing pictures with the S-Pen. It's an awesome phone! I ordered two extra batteries and a wall charger from Amazon to go with it so that I'm never stuck to a wall.
I came from an lg nitro HD and this phone is awesome.I smile every time I pull it out of my pocket. And something really cool that I just noticed is that Swype rocks with the s-pen.

Hey guys.
I know there will be a bias towards EVO LTE then the S3. I'm just trying to get some honest opinions.
Currently I own the original EVO. I'm torn between both phones. I'm leaning towards the EVO (kick stand, brighter screen, looks better). But the 2GB RAM in the S3 sounds nice a advantage.
How do you guys feel about the 1GB ram. Generally more ram = better performance after long usage. So do you guys feels 1GB is enough?
What is it search isn't working or the other threads all over XDA discussing 1gb vs 2gb, isn't enough for you?
Even out of that 2GB of RAM, your still gonna have just as much free RAM as you do with the EVO you got now. Be happy with it. S3 is a good device, but I'll stick with HTC.

I had the OG EVO as well. I wanted to stick to HTC and while Samsung is the apple of Android marketing, the people I know with Samsung devices say they just don't hold up.

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
the GS3 feels cheap and like plastic the build quality is of the evo is great
After owning the fascinate gs2 and gnex I am burned out on Samsung build quality the overrated samoled screens so I decided to get the evo it has great build quality the screen is probably the best I've seen on any phone. But sense and the lack of RAM does kinda turn me off hopefully jb will help this phone out but it should have at least another half gig of RAM
I dont like samsung phones... too plasticy and they just dont feel furable. I also feel their amoled screens make colors look too saturated and unrealistic. Though honestly.. I had an HTC Amaze 4g for about 5 days before i got the Evo 4G LTE...and I liked the amaze better. Considering going back. =/ Ill post my reasons for that if anyone inquires. But I did pick the Evo LTE over samsung
Came from an iPhone 4S...I needed a good phone with a good screen.
This screen is perfect. Plus its beats audio EQ which puts it on par with iPhones/iPods. I only compare it to the iPhone because Retina display, EQ, and iMessage are the only things Apple got right imo (well, they didn't get iMessage right but I'm not here to bash Apple). 2/3 is good. Plus all of the Android goodness...this is like heaven.
I don't like cheap phones and I've been with HTC since the HTC touch

I personally have had issues with the speaker being too low for my taste. But it's definitely usable and I wouldn't imagine you'd be using hand-free in a loud or public environment so for what it's worth it'll work.

I dont feel the speaker is as loud as the og EVO. Maybe with custom kernels it will get louder, but I'm not sure if that's headjack loudness or external speaker they can modify. Maybe both?

Ya know. I was listening to 2 Podcasts a while back before the phone e was released. One was android Central and the other was Twit. They both were talking about how the S3 had 2GB of RAM, but somehow the S3 has so much more going on within the device, it eats up a buncha ram. It was so long ago, I can't remember exactly what was explained. Is wish I could. But when it was explained it made perfect sense. My buddy in work has an S3. I gotta make sure now so I don't make myself look like a comets **** LOL. It kinda irritates me when people and even some of these lame ass Blogs, say it's the best device of all time, cause it has one more GB of RAM..... I call BS on that brotha,

Samsung claims they added the extra gb of ram to future proof it for jb. However, It's painfully obvious you don't need 2gb of ram to run jb, so it having an extra gig is a moot point to me.

I have both. The HTC build quality can't be touched. The display is a toss up... the HTC is more natural and lifelike while the Samsung is more vibrant. The s3 speed and performance is ahead... by a lot in day to day use.

Once I switched to the Note 2, it wasn't even close.

My friend just recently switched from the 4s. He has been am iPhone fanboy, even though he claims he wasn't a fanboy, ever since he got his first iPod and iPhone. He just got sick and tired of Apples little walled in garden with the iPhone even when jailbroken. He saw my Note 2, played with it for a couple weeks and then made the switch. He is absolutely in love with hos Note 2 and says there is no way in hell he will EVER go back to an iPhone!
The only thing he dislikes is there is no way to sync his iTunes music, playlists, pictures, and videos. He was using Kies but since he flashed Vanilla Rootbox, which he has been on since the 3rd day he had his phone, he cant find any app for syncing his music tjat works with a USB cord.

There are certainly more (and a lot of times better) accessories for an iDevice; play music thru the media cable, earphone/headphone buttons auto detect the device, more choices when it comes to cases etc
