small update coming soon the HTC REZOUND ...maybe...

[TBoltJ]

As ususal, the update changed all the ringtones... [sigh]

I did the update and so far no noticeable difference. I did not have to reset my ringtone. Possibly because I am using my own ringtone, not one of theirs?

Hmmm... my data speeds seem to be cut in half or worse on LTE, normally get 25-35MB down and ~15MB up, now "only" 10 down and 8 up, signal strength is about the same (around -62 dBm) and at midnight locally. Tested three times with a phone with new update, and three times on one without (3.14.605.12), and same result, the older firmware resulted in much higher speeds. Anyone else noticing a slow down in 4G speeds with the new update or was this just a fluke?

 

[TBolt]

wow ace! I hope that's just a fluke; maybe it will improve tomorrow. if this remains the case, are you going to flash the global RUU to take both phones off that garbage software?

if so, before you flash, i'd do a factory reset & retest.

let us know how it goes!

Personal one yes, my work one needs to remain stock... So far my personal one has let me defer it for a while, but I set it for today's date so will see what happens.

EDIT: Yeah. nevermind, looks like it was just a fluke... I ran the speedtest this morning and it came back about normal (24M down & 13M up) for this time of day.

I just noticed another thing. No more screenshots via top power button? Did it revert a setting somewhere or did they disable this entirely.

Did an update check and it found it, it gave me the option to accept or decline it. its installing now.

Works fine here...

Okay, I did update and it broke root. Do I have to go through the entire root process again?

 

[rocco225]

I rebooted and it works for me as well.

No, it doesn't relock, you should just be able to boot into Amon Ra or TWRP (or whatever custom recovery you flashed in) and flash the latest SuperSU or Superuser ZIP package.

Ace is correct - just reboot into your recovery and reflash your *.zip and you should be good to go.

That's possible. The GF's Rezound with stock ringtones changed. Mine, with custom ringtones, didn't; although the default ringtone changed from "VZW default" to "VZW Airwaves."

So as near as we can tell this "Device Enhancement" OTA updates our ringtones? Major excitement! I'm loving how informative and open VzW is being about this...

 

[danhartman26]

I just updated mine a few minutes ago. My default ringtone was already VS airwaves, so didn't change. My custom ringtones didn't change. I am stock.

I got update this morning on my phone. Would love to know what kind of update it is?

 

[Chris Mandala]

Does the phone reboot to normal mode - mine is sitting in System Recovery. How long did it take to complete?

Were you ever able to get it out of Recovery. Mine downloaded the update rebooted into TWRP and is just sitting there. Tried to dig around the SD cards to see where it installed to and do it manually but no luck. Anyone know what to do?

 

[MarkSeven]

Mine updated itself the other day without even asking me smh.. Any info on what was actually being updated/enhanced???

I really don't understand this but have heard others say the same thing. On both of my Rezounds I was given the standard options of Accept, Defer, or Reject as with all software updates.

The general consensus on most forums is that this is a pre-upgrade update for both platforms, Rezound (Global Mode pre-update) and Incredible 2 (ICS pre-update).

So your personal one with the global software got the update?
