Rezound OTA update, good or bad?

Still no Rezound forum, huh?
Well, I noticed a decreased in overall performance in my device after the update, but it was still very usable and a great device, but disappointed in the decrease in download speeds, battery life and STILL seeing the issue with my time switching back and forth between Pacific and Mountain time...I believe the time zones will sync before that is fixed lol.
Anyway, so I was sent a replacement and activated it last night and noticed immediately it had the previous software on it, which is good, because the battery life and speeds seem to be where they once were after about 4 hours of use...but there is an issue with the ear piece, the speaker seems to be blown (static and muffling) so I had to pack it up and send it back for another. I activated the phone with the new software afterwards (within minutes and in the same area) and notice the downloads speeds were back down to about 2-4 down and topped out at 1 up (the replacement, both exceeded 10) I am in Phoenix,AZ where 4G is all over.
I am hoping the next replacement has not been flashed w/ the new update so I can ignore it if it happens to come up. I know its recommended by VZW that all phones have the latest software, but after seeing first hand what the update does to the speed and battery, is it really worth it? Could it be that my device was bad all along despite it working perfectly prior to the update? I did perform factory resets and kept 3rd party apps very minimal but no difference. Is this "Verizon Location Agent" really to blame for the battery life? I fear receiving the next replacement and it working fine, then the update comes along and ruins the phone again...I doubt that is enough ground to request another replacement.
What to do, what to do!

I've been lucky with my TBolt and Rezound. I haven't had all of the problems others have except for the network problem with the Bolt. Since I still have it, I've been tempted to root it just to experiment, but the Rezound has been so great that I just haven't been in a hurry to do it. My speeds with the Rezound after the update are about the same as before. They go up and down, depending on when I check it and what server I connect to. I'd love to get the 20's and 30's some report, but my best is about 16Mbps and this morning I'm getting 4 to 7Mbps.
I don't usually see that much difference in how fast it connects to web sites, maybe because I don't check the speed when I'm surfing, if it connects I'm happy. It also seems to slow down when I tether to my laptop, but I seldom check it then either. Having a stable connection that doesn't drop out and need to be restarted every 5 to 10 minutes is more important to me than what the speed is. Even at it's slowest, it's still faster than the non-existent WiFi we have at work.
Hope your next one works better. If it doesn't keep bugging them till you get one that does.

IPod updater-good or bad?

Hello
I have read that some people, when they downloaded the updater, gave their ipod trouble....did it happen oanyone? and second: when you download it, you put in my documents, but then how does it get in your ipod?

You gotta double click and install it first, but unless you want to, i wouldn't update. Too many problems.

Lumia 822-Denim update, good or bad?

I downloaded the long awaited windows 8.1 to my lumia 822 this morning but found that it has taken away my ability to take, view, and send pictures. I'm guessing that this is a bug but I'm not sure. Has anyone else had better luck?Lu

I had the same issue. Along with some other oddities that showed up. I know that it is not what most people want to hear, but I ended up having to reset the phone back to factory and rebuilding it from the ground up. I did not let it restore any of my previous settings. (It may have been fine, but I didn't want to take the risk)
This is work, but remember you are loading a new OS onto a device that was out before the OS was so there may be some work and tweaking that needs to be done to make it work.

Updating iphone3 is it good or bad?

updating iphone3 is it good or bad?

updates are always good. you should always update as soon as you have an update available.

Have a lead on the OTA update problems!

FIRST, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!... Whoever is responsible for FINALLY giving us our own discussion space!!!!
I am only going to post this here rather than try to update all the postings regarding the OTA update issues. I hope people will find their way to it!
I experienced rapid battery drain, severe overheating & endless boot-looping after the OTA update (among other more minor problems posted in the main Android forum). I had to factory reset and have been trying to determine what the problem might be. I have had discussion with VZW & HTC about this problem.
After leaving my phone as a stock out of the box phone with the update for a week, I started adding back my Apps. Eventually I had the same problem. I factory reset my phone and installed each App 1 at a time.
I discovered that WeatherBug Elite is causing major problems on the HTC Rezound post OTA firmware update. The HTC Rezound has 3 location services - Verizon Location Services, Standalone GPS and Google Location Services. The default is for only the GPS and Google services to be turned on. If the WeatherBug city is set to Current Location and Verizon Location Services is turned off then the device battery will rapidly drain. It will also SEVERELY OVERHEAT (130 degrees+) & eventually begin endless boot-looping. At this point the phone has to be factory reset.
If Verizon Location Services are turned on then setting the city for Current Location does not cause this problem. If you turn Verizon Location Services off after the Current Location has been set then it is OK until you change locations and it has to update. Then its back to severely overheating and eventually endless boot-looping.
This does not happen on the free version of WeatherBug.
Verizon included a new process - Verizon Location Agent in the OTA update. This must have something to do with the problem. All my other Apps that use a Current Location setting do not have this problem. I suspect that there may be other older Apps with a Current Location setting that might cause this same problem. This has been causing much stress and problems for HTC, Verizon and their customers. People have been going thru multiple phones thinking that it is a problem with the phone but it continues to happen. HTC and Verizon have acknowledged that there is some problem with the update and they are now investigating it but really didn't have a lead on what it might be since only some customers were experiencing these problems.
I spent 14 hours diagnosing and trouble-shooting the problem all last night. You have to put the phone to sleep & wait long enough for WiFi & the GPRS data to be turned off. When you wake the phone & wait for 'No Service' on the lock screen to change to 'Verizon Wireless' then it will immediately start the endless uncontrollable boot-looping. It will also happen if you restart the phone. I have done this on a factory reset phone with the OTA update installing one App at a time and WeatherBug Elite was the only one that caused the problem. I do not know if this is true for 4G-LTE as I am not in a 4G-LTE area and keep it turned off.
I wanted to pass along this information I discovered. I hope I am remembering all the steps. I had it doing it every time. I did more factory resets last night than you could believe. You need to see the "No Service" on the lock screen when you wake up your phone. This has something to do with it also. I'm so tired now that I can't see straight. I'll recheck this after I've had a nap.

Because some people have problems with the updates and some don't, I've often wondered if it had to do with specific apps that some have on their phones and others don't. I never had any problems with my Thunderbolt updates. This one for the Rezound isn't a problem either, but I essentially have the same apps on it that I did on the Bolt. I've never cared for Weatherbug ever since they originally came out on the PC and I got buried in spam. If you haven't tried it yet, you might also try "Weather, Radar, Alerts, Quakes by Elecont software. It's the best weather app I've found and has never given me any problems. I tried BeWeather and didn't like it as well.

What you're doing by eliminating them one at a time is time consuming, but the best route. There may still be something wrong with the phone itself. I've never had a problem with the boot looping. Also, mine gets up to around 120 to 125 degrees if I'm charging it while using it heavily for streaming videos/movies, but I've never hit the 130's like you have. I did have the led's flash red/green at me at about 125. I also haven't had any of the other problems you seem to be having, so I can't be much help other than to let you know that there are Rezounds that don't have all of those frustrating, headache causing problems.
I've lost track in your posts, so forgive me for asking the obvious, but have you exchanged it for a CLN replacement(s) and tried new batteries? Are you still using a standard battery, or an extended? The extended batteries don't seem to be having the overheating problems that the standard batteries are, but if you have a bad phone, it may not make much difference.
Sorry about the problems and frustration

Calendar List not displaying all dates after iOS 5.0.1 OTA update

Following the recent iOS 5.0.1 OTA update, in list mode my calendar now only displays days on which I have entries. Previously it showed a list of all days. Can this be changed by a setting somewhere or is this a bug in the iOS?

All was good, My battery and SIRI were working fine, then my bad luck that i updated my phone to iOS 5.0.1 (which is promissing better battery life and Siri funcionality). After updating all went crazy, SIRI is not working any more (it says cant do any thing right now and try later, and i am now trying from 2 days), Battery is not lasting longer then 12 hrs as it was better before. I am seriously thinking to go back to my iPhone 4 and distroy iPhone 4S
APPLE????? i need answers????

HTC Rezound OTA killing battery life/phone not sleeping

yesterday (1/31) my Rezound got an OTA update and ever since then my battery life has absolutely tanked.
all of a sudden, since the update, Verizon Location Agent runs constantly and forcing it to stop doesnt preventing it from just randomly coming back up, and thats without even touching or using the phone at all. this app/service is preventing my phone from sleeping. in about 3-4 hours i can go from a full 100% battery to it beeping at me at 9%.
please forward this info to someone higher up in the company so we can get this fixed, preferably with a way to flat out remove the Verizon Location Agent as it is not needed and is only causing problems.
the internet is filled with forums with TONS of people reporting the exact same thing. its not the battery, its not the phone. its the VLA.

I also experienced battery life cut in half after ota update and I couldn't select my ADW EX launcher as default anymore. I fixed the launcher by reinstalling and and getting a home switcher app and clearing the default launcher setting. With that said, I tried installing juice defender to manage battery better but phone was still dead after 5-6hrs on battery (yes, it was getting hot but it didn't feel to the extreme some of your are discussing).
I was holding out for the 30 day return period before rooting the phone, but since the battery was so pathetic, and people who had rooted and were running custom roms, didn't have this battery problem, I decided to start down that path. I got as far as using the HTC process to unlock the phone, at which point I was forced to to a factory reset. It got too late that night and I decided to complete the rooting later. 3 days later, I still haven't rooted it because i had other emergencies (house furnace is almost dead), but I'm SO EXCITED to report that since doing this factory reset, my battery life has skyrocketed back to normal, maybe even better then it was originally! I can easily unplug in the morning around 9AM and WITHOUT recharging it still had 36% battery last night around midnight. All 3 of the location services on my phone are enabled. 4G and wifi used throughout the day, had about 4 phone calls, checked facebook once, checked gmail a few times, did 2 web searches and texted throughout the day as needed.
So, if you're outside your return period and you loved your rezound before the ota update, it may not be the most desired thing to do, but if you factory reset your phone, you can get the good battery life back again!
So that's my experience. Let me know if you have any questions.

IPad fails to connect to WiFi after OTA update to iOS 6

After the OTA update to iOS 6 my new iPad fails to connect to my WiFi network at home. My LANCOM router reports the following issue:

Interface: WLAN-1
Ereignis: Rejected Association from WLAN station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx []: ()

Grund: Cannot support all requested capabilities in Capability Information field
It has worked flawlessly in the past with iOS 5 on my new iPad and iPhone 4. At the moment I hestitate to update my iPhone too.
Anyone with the same issue or an idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance, greetings from Stuttgart (Germany),

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Not to update Goods receipt on process order in LIMS system

Dear all,
I am working on SAP-LIMS interface project.
Please help me out with the below requriement:
Release of process order (COR1) in SAP creates lot creation in LIMS (creates an inspection lot in QIWL table which is read by LIMS system to download data from SAP to LIMS).
When we do goods receipt (MB31) against the process order, currently it updates same inspection lot in QIWL table to send the same record for LIMS system again.
We have a requirement not to update on Goods Receipt to LIMS system.
Please let me know if there are any user-exits/BADIs for the same.
I know that goods receipt MB31 runs the FM MB_POST_DOCUMENT in background.
Please let me know if somebody has worked on this requirement.
P.S. - We need the functionality of updating goods receipt on purchase order in LIMS.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
If you post GR in Plant - A, then the stocks in the warehouse will reflect for Plant - A & not in Plant - B.
Although the warehouse is the same, it is linked to the combination of Plant & Storage location. You can check the warehouse stocks using LS26, just specify the warehouse number & material number.
But there is also a concept of planning plant & production plant, so Plant A can be where the planning takes place, while Plant B is where the actual production takes place. In this case, although you produce in Plant B, the GR will be done in Plant A.
Hope the above clarifies.
Regards,
Vivek

Is this good or bad in terms of battery life?

So I have a question, my usage is 1 hour, 11 minutes; standby is 13 hours, 29 minutes. This is since the last full charge on my iphone4s and now the battery is at 68%. Is this good or bad, and the thing is when I used certain apps like words with friends even for 2-3mins I actually noticed the battery life going down 2%, and I know that because I have the option for showing the battery percentage switched to on. It's frustating that I'm doing the simplest task like going through settings and the battery is draining so quickly. Does anyone have and suggestions about increasing the battery life?

The short battery life is an issue of iOS5 that should be fixed with the next updates. ( also hope that Apple would fix it fast)

N96 OTA Update

I have an original N96, never been upgraded. I haven't had any major problems with the phone (quite a few minor ones) and wanted to wait for a few Firmware updates, before I took the plunge and updated. I just did a OTA check and my phone did download an update.
I of course intend to make a full backup before running the update, but just wanted to check if anyone else has done an OTA update and whether they lost any information or data off their phone. Just to give me an idea of the time I will have to spend getting things back to the way they were....
Cheers
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have done 3 OTA updates on my N96 and they all worked seamlessly with no loss of data whatsoever.
However, you should still take all the necessary precautions and do all the backups. We don't want to tempt Murphy's Law.
OTA is the only way to go and I am sure you will agree once you've tried it.
Good Luck with the update.

Good or bad battery???

i charged my macbook fully last night and used it this morning...i checked my battery status and says 99%-2:55 remaining...then after 97%-4:11 remaining...
i also check preferences....
full charge capacity : 5489
remaining capacity : 5407
amperage : -1496
voltage : 12294

i hope someone can enlighten me...
thanks in advance...

your stats seem ok.. i've gotten it as high as 142 hours temporarily, when its discharging.. the battery time to die measurement is at best an estimate..
what were you running that you were drawing -1400 amps? thats a bit excessive...
i run a problem called IBatt2 it has a grading system which compares your battery to the median of the same type of system battery... it will also show you the essential data...
my battery with 45 cycles, gets a "C" grade on their system.

Incredible 4g OTA update not showing up

Incredible 4g supposed to get an OTA update. I know many people have gotten the update. My phone does not prompt for an update.
I also try to search for the update through the "Software Update" section in settings but when I click that, it just searches for a couple seconds, and then disappears...
it doesn't even mention "No Update Available" like it usually does...the dialogue just disappears
anyone know why this may be? or a way to fix it?

Hi there Somerandomname1!
I happy that you're eager to get an update to your phone! I always try to keep my electronics up to date as well.
Ann definitely made a good point and that could be the case. I would also recommend to clear out some space on your phone, just in case. Sometimes the updates won't push through if there's not enough room!
Just do a bit of spring cleaning on your phone such as removing unused applications or moving them to the sd card. You can also delete old text and email messages!
Thanks,

Let us know when you personally receive the ICS OTA update!

We are all tired of frequently Googling for when Verizon is going to officially release the Ice Cream Sandwich OTA update for our HTC Rezounds. Please feel free to add to the discussion about the update, but most importantly, let us know when you personally receive the ICS OTA update!
...so we can stop wasting valuable hours every day just Googling...

The only reason I bought the Rezound was because the sales person assured me it would be getting the ICS update in April. LIES, LIES, LIES. Will be very glad when my contract is up!!!
That surely can't be the only reason...the HTC Rezound is a BEAST! With or without ICS.
