Verizon Details New Rezound OTA (Build 4.05.605.14 710RD), Brings Global Roaming And Bunch Of Stuff You Probably Don't Care About

Hey guys, I know that when you hear "Rezound" and "OTA" in the same sentence your first thought is probably "Jelly Bean!" Hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but that's not the case. It's just an update that enables global roaming and does a lot of other petty stuff.

See? Let's Golf 2 was updated! Skype was made gooder! Visual Voicemail now show the correct amount of notifications! All cynicism aside, I'm sure someone, somewhere can appreciate something in this update, as minor as it may be.

The support docs were just updated today, which usually indicates an OTA is in its final stages of processing and should begin rolling out shortly.

[Exclusive Download] Official Ice Cream Sandwich Build 3.13.605.7 (Android 4.0.3) For The HTC Rezound

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Exclusives, Leaks, News, Rezound

Last Updated: June 5th, 2012

Back in mid-March, we gave Rezound owners their first taste of Ice Cream Sandwich. Now, we've gotten our hands on a newer build (3.13.605.7, Android 4.0.3) that should fix several of the quirks that were present in our previous leak, ~~as well as bring new radios to the table~~. I can actually feel the anticipation here, so let's get to it.

Update: It turns out that this doesn't include new radios after all. Our tipster didn't make it clear that the previous screenshots were taken before he flashed the radios, so they reflected an even older build. Sorry for the confusion!

It's April now, a solid five months or so after the Ice Cream Sandwich source code dropped. We've all been waiting eagerly for our old devices to see Google's latest and greatest.

Notable devices include the HTC Rezound, the Motorola Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX, as well as the premiere Google tablet, the Xoom 3G/4G.

According to the documents, the Rezound should be seeing an update to ICS on May 9th, while the RAZR/MAXX pairing will be receiving the update later in the month, on the 21st.

Ice Cream Sandwich. It's more than a buzzword in the Android community right now - it's what most users are waiting for in one way or another. Some are waiting on the update to roll out to their device, while others are still waiting to find out if their device will even get the update. For HTC Rezound users, however, the wait ends today - as long as they're willing to flash a leaked firmware, that is.

This is a release candidate for the OTA and by no means a final version.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Rezound, Verizon Wireless

We've been hearing information about the HTC Rezound (codenamed Vigor) for quite a while now, and HTC just officially took the wraps off of this beasty. Like most other new HTC devices, it's packed with Beats by Dre, and, similar to the Sensation XE, has those wicked red capacitive buttons. It's quite impressive in terms of hardware spec:
