    Droid Ultra waiting room

    Man, I hope the camera is awesome. I imagine it will be like the X which seems to be decent but needs some software tweaks.

    What new hardware would you like to see in android devices?

    Consumer infrared (already present in some Galaxys and HTC One) Laser emitter and detector for measuring distances (area, volume), scanning objects More accurate gyros and compass for less jitter in AR apps like Google Sky Map and others

    Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard

    I can confirm that the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard for the Droid X that Verizon sells does not seem to work with my Rezound. It is seen by the phone but I cannot pair successfully with it. Must be that HTC bluetooth stack wackiness at work again.

    [Closed] Win an iBOLT Charging Dock for your HTC Rezound!

    I would open it up to find out what is different about the USB cable that lets the dock know that it's in Car Dock mode versus Desktop Dock mode. And then I'd put it back together and install it in my car so I can listen to The Nerdist podcast on my long drive to the family holiday at an...

    Inductive charging for the Rezound

    Just got the inductive cover. The first time I tried to USB charge it after I installed the new cover it didn't work but I plugged it in a second time and now I'm charging off USB with no problem. Maybe there's some kind of circuitry in there that needs a jump start? I have no idea...

    Inductive charging for the Rezound

    I've got the inductive back cover for the HTC Rezound on order for Tuesday delivery. The Verizon store didn't have one in stock but they're mailing it to me. They had no insight on which inductive charger pad I should use. I'd like to try a Pre Touchstone but am not sure about where the magnets...

    Rezound DIY dock, magnets, hacks

    Oh, and here's a photo of the cable that resides inside the desktop dock. I think all the magic happens inside that white block.

    Rezound DIY dock, magnets, hacks

    Here is an album I made that shows the disassembly of the Rezound dekstop dock. https://picasaweb.google.com/kenc3dan/RezoundDesktopDock?authuser=0&feat=directlink As you can see the dock does not use the old magnet trick to communicate to the phone which type of dock it is. There are no magnets...

    official bug thread.

    I have that with my Rezound and Droid X as well. Gotta jam the connector in further to fix it, or get a smaller profile audio connector on your cable. Engine noise means the connector isn't properly seated. Hope this works for you.

    official bug thread.

    Google Calendar sync is AFU. Rezound says Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Google Cal in browser begs to differ. Other events doing the same craziness. This is totally crappy and a failure that could really screw up some important stuff...you know, in real life.

    HTC Rezound First Impressions/Reviews

    Calendar is all fouled up. Google Calendar sync doing crazy stuff. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving apparently, if I believe my Rezound. Checked with Google Calendar in the browser and it has it listed correctly. Too basic a problem to overlook. UPDATE, PROBLEM RESOLVED. They swapped my Rezound, problem...

    Does this thing have a car dock?

    I'll be interested to see how that works. I've just disassembled my desktop dock for my Rezound and found that it doesn't rely on the old "magnet in the dock" trick to allow the phone to recognize which dock it's in. (Positive polarity for desktop, negative for the car - or vice versa.) The...

    official bug thread.

    Mine doesn't go into dock mode when in the dock. Charges ok though. Text selection seems like it's wrong. No selection markers or magnifier in browser unless you pinch to zoom page before.
