Angry Rezound users are banning together!

I haven't looked into the other provider's coverage for my area lately, but I've heard that all the national Cellular networks are upgrading and that some may give Verizon some competition. When my contract ends, I will definitely look into the coverage competition and may be take the leap. I started with Alltel way back when, because they had CDMA technology and I knew then that would win out over the others. Verizon bought Alltel.

its my belief that what is overheating phones is the use of both processors due to ics combined with 4g. I downloaded the leak about 2 months before we got 4g here and my phone never came close to getting warm. It will now that I'm running ics and on 4g.

And if your theory is correct that the software is still buggy, which I highly doubt since a number of users here have installed ICS and there are nearly no problems to speak of, then both Verizon and HTC should be telling customers that they are inept and can't put together an update and stop leaving everyone in the dark.

Oh ... and one last thing, if I want to use YOUR tax dollars to complain, guess what? I WILL!!

Please go see a lawyer and bring suit for false advertising. I will love to hear how fast you get laughed right out of court.

This thread was about banning together not being seperated.

Damnit DG, you had one job!

I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't even know anyone with a Rezound. With that disclaimer out of the way, here's my take on the issue.

I suggest taking 3 steps:

1) Go ahead, complain about poor service and false advertising to VZW and the BBB or whomever you supposed to complain.

2) Take a long, hard look at flashing an ICS leak. If you guys are this serious about getting ICS on your phones, you should be willing to take a couple hours (if you've never flashed before; less if you have) to tinker your way to ICS goodness. I haven't looked, but I'll bet there's at least one forum on here talking about the best ICS ROMs/RUU's for the Rezound.

3) If you're this dissatisfied with Verizon, make like a tree and leave. Whether you do it now, at the end of your 2-year contract, or sometime in between is up to you, but someone earlier (forgive me for not remembering who) said that hitting Verizon's wallet was the best idea was spot on.

On a final note, this whole thing is most likely not HTC's fault. They're usually great with their updates, which is one reason I bought this baby. For example, the HTC Vivid was the first Gingerbread, non-Nexus phone to receive ICS (as I recall), and the HTC Amaze 4G got it pretty quickly, too. HTC also is the only OEM I know of that has said anything definite about Jelly Bean updates (the One X and One S will be updated, and other devices, like mine, are under review).

The term is "banding" together, like a band, or Robin Hood's band of merry men. [joke]"Banning together" is what the film review board does.[/joke]

And yes, we should not let our evil corporate overlords divide us!

Maybe what is needed isn't a banding together of frustrated Rezound owners.

Maybe frustrated Verizon customers need to band together.

They have pursued some rather un-customer-friendly programs. Locked bootloaders. Pay again for data you've already paid for, if you dare to use your device as designed, to share said data with another device. Pretty shoddy and misleading advertising.

I'm sure there's more. Verizon is the big dog, they're acting like they can get away with it. And maybe they can. I'm not thrilled with every facet of my Verizon experience, but being on the road almost 300 days a year, I need that freaking huge coverage area.

But my dream is being home more, moving to a GSM MVNO with great local coverage, and activating my shiny new Play Store Nexus. Maybe on a Google MVNO.

Maybe you can do that, sooner then I can. Maybe you would be much happier. Your happiness is in your hands. I have a plan, do you?
