Well I'm Back...
So I have an Incredible and a Rezound and the audio on the Rezound sounds like I am underwater. Any idea what's going on? No one wants to talk to me unless I call them back on the Incredible.
Tech support had me erase phone storage and then told me not to install any apps or restore my apps to see if that fixes the trick. It didn't. Now they are sending me a new Sim Card. He says my old one might be corrupted and causing the problem.

This phone
is awesome. Best screen currently in the business, feels good in the hand, 10+ hours battery life with moderate usage, not buggy and Beats by Dre is pretty impressive sonically.
I'm not sure why anybody would pick up a razr over this and on paper it looks like it may be even better than the nexus.
I would have to agree with you. I have been using this phone for about 3 days now and love it. I like the Sense UI of the HTC much better than Motorola. Personally, I think the Droid Razr is a gimmick to get people to buy the phone. The rezound in eve...

razr has motocast and smart actions which by themselves are enough reasons to go with the razr.
besides, the hardware is phenomenal on the razr while the htc is just the same old htc style
the lock screen is cool on the new sense, that's about i...

I want it. The price is too high. I wish Best Buy would bring back Free Fridays in six months and make this phone a free phone. By then it will be obsolete by smartphone standards, right? Or is this just wishful thinking?

Problems with the ringer volume
I love this phone other than the fact the ringer volume keeps lowering automatically...anyone else experiencing this issue? thanks
I haven't had the problem mentioned yet.
Droid RAZR is a better buy and beats is a gimmick
I played with a Rezound for a few days and ended up returning it. The beats is nice but it's a gimmick. The Phone has a 1.5Ghz snapdragon processor but Sense slows it down. Don't believe me? Quadrant scores say it all. Plus there was a noticeable lag from time to time. Nothing major but it was just here.
The Droid RAZR was snappier and had virtually no lag. It's scores are almost on par witht he Galaxy S II devices. Not to mention better battery life as well than the Rezound as well. It's also much more sexier than this typical HTC chunky device with same tired design and aging Sense.
Guess who will get Ice Cream Sandwich first? You can get it will be the RAZR since not only had Motorola already confirmed but they're also been acquire...

Overated
I had this phone for 5 days. I sent it back yesterday. Having had HTC's (rooted of course) in the past (TP2 and an Imagio under WM6.5) I guess I expected more. The level of bloatware in this device and coming from my current rooted DroidX proved to be unbearable. I'm going with the Galaxy Nexus (assuming it can be unlocked).....
Also - I found LTE to be overrated -IF your primary use is tethering a laptop for email and an occasional PDF download.
I did play around with the temp root options that are out there but again compared to a rooted Droid X running a Liberty 2.0 ROM and overclocked to 1.2ghz ... even the dual 1.5 parameter - I consider - OVERATED.
Lastly - the screen resolution -yes better than the I-phone. But my wife who ha...

The Beats Software vs. Other Music Player Apps
Nice right up Eric. I've been saying this all along about the Beats software. I was wondering if you've had a change to install other music player apps such as Player Pro or PowerAmp, which have 10 band EQs. I would tend to think these $5 apps would perform equal or if not better than Beats software. Any thoughts?
They probably would. Thanks for reading.
