There are only four distinct areas in which all problems can originate: Account provisioning (a.k.a. your phone's permissions), network issues, device malfunctions, and user error. The standard way to deduce is to first determine location of issue. If issue happens in various locations (i.e...

I should preface this carefully with these questions: You are aware that Verizon Wireless and Sprint both are based on CDMA networks for voice services, which are completely incompatible with the GSM-based networks AT&T and T-Mobile uses, correct? You are also aware the HTC Rezound is a Verizon...

Same processor, about same battery, same RAM, same rear camera. Lower quality FFC, smaller & lower resolution screen, and potentially no Beats Audio (even if it has Beats, it will not come included with shiny $100 earbuds since Monster no longer makes them).

VoLTE has a lot of potential for being a solid replacement for 1xRTT (2G) voice services. If Verizon successfully migrates all cellular transmissions on to LTE (which by then it will likely be LTE Advanced), it means less maintenance cost, less towers needed, stronger coverage, faster speeds...

You are absolutely correct. Per the contract a Verizon customer signs with Verizon upon signing up for service dictate that Verizon may not terminate services unless for very specific reasons (i.e. non-payment or manipulation of services with malicious intent). Complaining is most certainly not...

Yes, because Verizon has a strict policy that if you ever complain they shut off your phone on the spot. That was sarcasm. Did you know the word "defective" is a rather vague term? In other words, asking people if they have experienced "this problem" in reference to a very vague is kind of...

If you all remember, there was to be a special version of VZW's Skype Mobile (called Skype Mobile with Video) that was supposed to launch with the Thunderbolt. Then is was supposed to be a month late. There was even a almost-finished version of it leaked. Then Microsoft bought Skype, which...

My job has nothing to do with VZW's contract terms... And my point was that post was opinion guised as pseudo-fact. I come off as harsh at times, but I was not disagreeing with what you say about store reps telling you its "basicaly a TB2", but then again, I do not account store reps for being...

The Rezound was never the Thunderbolt 2. It's code name was the Vigor, and it's production name was Rezound. Almost the entire first half of your post was feeding a long dead rumor that was proven to be just rumor. That is not what I'd consider being helpful to the OP. Furthermore, the Charge...

I would like to note that the OEM Thunderbolt battery is 1450 mAh, which is identical in size to the Rezound's 1620 mAh battery. Advances in battery tech are being made as is apparent with that example. Aside, if you look at the Droid RAZR and the Droid RAZR MAXX... the MAXX has a 3300 mAh...

One benefit the Rezound has is that ICS was optimized for multi-core phones, so my main worry personally is that at its best the Thunderbolt/Rhyme/Incredible 2 will be slightly on the bogged down side. I, in no way, think it will be as bad as the alpha for the ICS ROM I saw flashed on a Motorola...

Re: Google VVM What did I do wrong? Sadly, I will have to contradict you there, Frank... Google Voice can only work with Verizon's switches as conditional call forwarding. AT&T/T-Mobile have slightly better support, and Sprint has full integration. You can disable Google Voice services just...

#DATA (3282)

I hate to be the downer, but be very aware that there is a good possibility of some rather nasty bugs... Depending on how deep this update goes, it may require a kernel overhaul... the OTA update system is problematic at best when its just a simple patch, and this will be the biggest leap in...

The leak for CES this year? Its a normal, average shoe... until you pull the antenna out of the heel and then, BAM!, its a phone too! Wait, Maxwell Smart already had one? Shucks!
