I'm using a Verizon note 2 rooted running liquid smooth v2.9 and the area in which I live is pretty much a dead zone. I was wondering if anyone know of something I could flash/download/install that would give me better signal at my house? Thanks guys!

Oh okay, that's basically like the AIRAVE for sprint. A friend of mine used to have one before he switched to verizon. And you're right, they are pricy. $249.99. But it may be something I need to invest in. Thanks for the help much appreciated!

If you complain enough they might give you one free to lease, the only problem is that you are 100 responsible for it.

Hi,
I bought 2 of them for family and it's working great in fact one of them disconnected their landline phone since it wasn't needed anymore. They work alot better than the old days. Just a heads up. I recommend at least having cable modem speed not dsl. Otherwise it will affect signal quality. It also has a small piece that is for gps so it will need a window for sky view capability. It comes with an extension wire so the main unit can stay near the modem while the gps sensor is near the window.
Thanks,
Bryan
Have you tried flashing different radios?
I haven't tried different radios I've only flashed a couple of custom kernels. But I will most definitely search for radios. Thanks!

Was in DC for a few days and holy crap is it fast compared to 3G. Looks like Myrtle Beach is scheduled to get it 5/17 with the Rezound POSSIBLY getting ICS shortly thereafter (???). Could be a good month.

isn't the "leaked" screenshot of the ReZound getting ICS on the 9th? and the RaZr brothers getting it much later?
Also yea, I can't believe these 4g speeds even after almost everyone in NYC has a 4g phone
my city recently got 4 g and now my phone is blazing fast but it runs through my battery like crazy. But luckily for me when I went to my local verizon they have a half off deals on the extended battery.

I love 4g. My brother will ask me to do something for him on his 4s. Talk about slow. Takes him 5-10 minutes to download an mp3. I can do it in 20-30 seconds. Watching YouTube videos I run full HD and never stop to buffer. He runs standard definition and has to buffer every 30 seconds or so. I almost bought the 4s, but the screen, processor, and 4g that the rezound has is just no match.

Agreed. My sister has a 4 and she used about a gig of 3G about 2/3 through our billing cycle. Over 3G that is alot of background data because she doesn't use the phone "that much" if you know what I mean. 90% of her use is texting, calling, and light browsing of memes.

I think you should go look around their forum cus they are currently having a huge problem with the os build for the last two updates they have had and it sounds like a huge drawback. I agree the hardware is great but the os is being left behind because of their focus on the evo4g lte is my guess

As we have seen in the past..... Better hardware does not make a phone better ....take the gnex for example....plagued with all kinds of issues.
The rezound has s-off, ics, custom sense 4 roms, great dev support ....and yeah we have a beast of a camera too thanks to the sense 4 roms.....so the battery life is not good....big whoop-di-do....its a 4g device, no battery is good, thats why we all buy extended batteries or more batteries.
As far a build quality.....to each there own....You will still need a case and screen protector no matter how great the quality is. Phone quality is only as good as the person handling the device.....so that point is mute.
So if he wants to use a rezound on the att network.....go for it....its his choice. Not all of us can shell out hundreds of dollars everytime we want/need a phone.

Root phone get Roam Control from play store (there was a beta version floating around). Roam on Verizon try to make a call you'll get a recorded message on minute packages. I paid $25 for 100 minutes +/- good for a year. I forget the name of the company but they have a web site. I did this on a questionable photon out going calls only. You might have better results. You have to enter a calling card number I found an app that does it automatically.
I keep this in my truck and all so have done what "atroph" posted. It's nice to be able to kill the check engine light ;/)
And now that you can save a map you can have a GPS without wireless service.

Thats the only thing I miss from the rezound, but not nearly enough to go back. The rezound really was such a disappointment. The rezound was the main reason I didn't go with the DNA, i've just lost all faith in HTC.
Pretty sad that my old Thunderbolt could do this on 3g and my Note2 can not. I never realized how used to it I had become until I have been trying to surf while on the phone lately with my note. At my house 4g is spotty, if I make a call and during that call it switches to 3g, it will not reconnect to the mobile data until I hang up.

I'm stuck with big red for now as I travel a lot and being in sales, I live on my phone. Switched from AT&T which wasn't anywhere near as reliable. Keep hoping that verizon gets there act together and releases premier android phones like other carriers. Hoping that the One is coming...

I don't understand the appeal of this phone if you already have a DNA. It would be a very minimal upgrade and a slight downgrade in at leastone aaspect (screen). The only thing I am seeing that's better is a slight bump on the CPU clock speed and a better camera. Don't get me wrong. It looks like a super slick phone, just nothing worth purchasing coming from a DNA IMO

Screen downgrade is only opinion really. I think it's a upgrade. Still 1080 and easier to handle... Don't forget ir to control tv. Fm radio. 40% faster cpu. Camera. Better call quality and recordings... Every aspect of the phone was upgraded

Speakers also
Although every aspect was upgraded it's not enough to make me switch. I'm content with my dna on 100% stock. I don't think verizon is just going to dump this phone and stop updating it, but if that's the case then I will just use xda to modify my phone.

It's not just a bump in clock speed, also a bump in the processor itself. The HTC one will perform better than an overclocked DNA.
