Hey. Just wondering, does anyone else have a graphics issue in Browser or DolphinHD, where in landscape the progress bar breaks up, disappears, moves backwards, etc?
This behavior is not an issue, but an annoying glitch.
It is rom independent; I've had it will any CM6 releases I've used since July. I think I had it with CM5, but can't say for sure. Can't remember if I had it with stock Sense or not.
One thing to note, days after moved to CM from Stock, I dropped my phone, cracked the digitizer and replaced it with a 'for parts' eris off Ebay.
So to make a long story short, do ya'll see this too or do you think it has to do with dropping it or my part replacement?

I don't use dolphinHD (prefer opera mobile personaly) but decided to download it to see, and I'm having now problems with the progress bar. I'm using a CM6 rom (tazz froyo 17) and the phone has never been dropped. Seems like it could be an issue with your phone.
Thanks, I appreciate the test. That's what I was thinking too. Two dropped phones put together to make one good one leaves too many hardware variables. But its odd that the progress bar is the only thing I see a problem with.

Traded in the nexus for the rezound and loving it - something about the nexus' colors were driving me crazy - but was wondering if there was any movement on an MIUI for this phone?

JoelZ has it booting but RIL does not work. So basically it's not a phone as of this point.
there was a v4 possibility but no word for awhile now. I'm currently learning how to port so I can make this possible. might start with an earlier build though
Gotcha both. Here's to hoping... I use MIUI to get away from sense and then - as absence makes the heart grow fonder - I come back to sense running. heh
Once the people who are working on data can get it working, we'll get a wave of AOSP, including MIUI I'm sure.
There are several threads on these forums about the video and picture quality viewing deep blacks with both the international and AT&T versions of the gnote. It's a widespread problem that affects almost every unit. And yet there are developers here that are working on ROMS, themes, radios and other custom tweaks as if these customizations could allow me to overlook this glaring problem.
So my question is are there any ROMs or other fixes that will correct the black crush problem? I have read that the gnote might need a forced 24 bit color fix. Or perhaps the Bravia engine might help.
Until the black crush issue is fixed, I don't plan on spending any time customizing this phone, and I probably won't keep it much longer if it looks like a permanent problem. With all of the advantages that the gnote provides, the display is the absolute worst thing for Samsung to screw up because it's the #1 reason why people buy this phone.
Both Roms have it.
Never thought of trying the bravia engine. I will try that

I'm sorry. Both ROMs have the black crushing issue, or both ROMs have a fix that works? And which two ROMs are you referring to? Thanks.
TPC and Saurom both have the issue, as well as the stock ROM.
Does anyone else feel like the ICS OTA was just kind of thrown together and not built very well? To me, nothing seems to be themed consistently and I feel as though ICS/Sense doesn't fit very well together. In some cases, I'll get menus with the black and blue ICS theme and then other times I'll get the Sense white and green menus. Other than having ICS (which is awesome) I don't think HTC put much time into this update. What do you guys think?

Blame verizon all you want for the bad timing of the update, but the performance of ICS is 100% HTC's fault. No doubt about it
Problem is that HTC is mostly green and they want to stay green except Android is turning blue. I guess HTC needs to learn how to theme? Oh and I blame Verizon for everything as well, what a bunch of blowers..
It's kinda sh*tty but it doesn't bother most of us since we're on custom roms that are themed. Source is the only thing I care about.

ICS OTA
I waited for the OTA to drop before I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed custom roms. I don't know why, because the OTA was underwhelming for sure.
It's better than gb for sure

I don't care much for the looks but that is not the problem. It is much slower the gb. The browser does not work well for flash videos. It also does not work when searching pictures with Google. Hancent no longer see's Facebook photos. I have several programs that don't work properly. I wish i could go back to GB!

I was annoyed to find out on a trip this weekend that the navigation voice does not have its own volume and if you play music at the same time, you can barely hear the voice. I had to mute my music when there was a lot of directions coming up.
It is an improvement for me
I am completely stock. I don't like to root until Verizon wont cover the phone any longer.But I was getting close though because of the data drop issues. ICS is not the solution to everything, but it made my phone able to work like I expect. I don't know if I blame HTC, Verizon or the tooth fairy. I know that they all should have been bothered by the number of people running stock that were dealing with not being able to us the internet as a general rule that is a core function of a smart phone, imho.
For those of you who are developing roms, thank you. I will root this phone, probably around Christmas. Thanks for keeping a variety around. :good:
Dated version of sense when 4.0 is the norm for newer HTC phones. Custom roms ftw.

Honestly I am ok with most stuff on it. The only major issue I am having is battery drain. I am hoping after I reset it will be fixed. But it did fix the 4g issues I was having. The browser hasn't been slower for me but I haven't tried videos on it yet. I am annoyed handsent isn't syncing the pics but since the address book is it sounds like a handcent problem. Overall I am happy with it. It's nice I can disable the bloatware and I like how ICS is. I like the sense its not much difference then GB, 4.0 would be nice but at least my phone is working now.

Nice! Glad to hear that you're happy with your phone and the update :good:. If you're having battery issues, try reducing the frequency of data synchs etc. Lower screen brightness for general use etc. Could also try a battery calibration. Good luck!

I kept my sync frequencies, and screen brightness the same so I could compare battery efficiency between GB and ICS. ICS is about 50% worse, in my experience. My extended battery lasts 1 day 9 hours to 0% battery, where it used to last a full 2. It's horrendous. If I reduced sync times and brightness, etc. on GB I would be approaching or exceeding the 3 day mark. Users shouldn't have to do all that just to hit 2 days on ICS. I know some users do not experience these battery issues (my wife and coworker do not), so I have to assume it's an actual defect in my handset.
I agree with OP. Nothing seemed themes consistently at all. I couldn't stand bouncing back and force between ICS and Sense themes, which were entirely different (and arguably clashing).
I spent plenty of time waiting for the OTA, and when it finally came and flashed a new ROM that night.
Screen brightness messes up after using camera (mine stays at full brightness until I lock and unlock again), landscape keyboard is severely ****ed (not so much the keyboard but the displayed content above it where my cursor is), and the themes a little but they don't bother me at all. Anyone else have those problems?

Ive always had that auto brightness problem with the camera even on the droid incredible so its not new to me but i did notice that if you try a new theme some parts of HTC's green theme turn into your color of theme. But not always.
I agree with everything said pretty much accept battery life. Mines still good even on these stock kernals.
Moral of the story... Nexus only from now on lol. The themeing issues and old sense and old version of ICS when we finally get the update is annoying to me. Why didn't they just release the source and not push an outdated update lol.

Yeah I turned on the blue skin theme and it comes up with some blue and some green. Both look fine so I don't complain but the landscape keyboard thing is super annoying. Anyone have that problem or am I the minority?

I've been having problems with multitasking and keyboard not appearing right away or disappearing quickly. Also apps like Avast, Screeble keep closing when there are supposed to be running all the time. I know the Evo has problems with multitasking but this happened with all the roms I've tried including CM. I've even used the white list thing with MeanBean and that didn't help either. Just curios if it's just me or anyone else having the same issue. I'm regretting buying the Evo LTE, the OG Evo was amazing. This one just seems to be a piece of crap. Does anyone have an opinion on this before I abandon HTC for good?
I noticed same behavior. I figured it was an HTC/sense issue, but after going to AOSP ROMs (almost immediately after purchase) and still seeing really aggressive task killing, (not as bad as sense), I really started to wonder if it's somehow processor related. That said, the sense 5 port seems to handle multitasking better than any ROM I've used (most of them here).

Good to know I'm not the only one having problems with that. At one point I thought there was something wrong with my phone. I'm just gonna sell it and go with Samsung.
