Damn it.................

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, I ran as fast as I possibly could, head first, right into that one.

Haha I too thought it would be too big. And it is. But it's awesome nonetheless.

 

I paid full retail to get this thing and now I'm having second thoughts on returning it.

 

Compared to the other devices I own (G2, Nexus 5, Moto X), the battery life and build quality is the best. And dat screen...

I'm enjoying using the One Max quite a bit.   There is a noticeable decrease in RF senstivity compared to the LG G2 and especially the Nexus 5. For me, it isn't a huge deal as I typically am in area

Well due to the lte rf beast that my nexus 5 is, that isn't going anywhere anytime soon so while I test this One Max out I guess I will put my regular One on vacation for a few.

Finally got to see the HTC one max in person... Its screen is bigger than my nexus 5...

Umm.. did that surprise you? Not sure what the point of your post is.. the whole point of the Max is its size. It's like saying you saw a Chevy Suburban, and commented that it was bigger than your Ford Fiesta...

The Nexus 5 certainly is no Ford Fiesta. More like a Corvette

Oh I know that, I'm typing this on my N5 :) I was just referring to his comment about the sizes. The Max has a screen published to be almost an inch larger.

Went to sprint yesterday to look at it myself and all I could do was laugh when I saw how ridiculously large this device really is in person.  Anyway, can't wait until I get to try it out on a daily basis.

I think he was trying to say that the entire n5 can fit inside of the screen area of the one max.

Comparing the Nexus 5 to the HTC One max is like "throwing a hot dog down a hallway."

Did you also take a look at the Galaxy Mega?  Now that's a beast in size... Just looked at one myself today

Finally got this phone... of course I had to order it from Best Buy a few days before thanks giving.... never expected them to drop the price by $100 for Cyber monday.... sigh $100 out the window....

 

About the finger print scanner, you can swipe UP or DOWN either/both direction and still work, but you can't swipe side to side from either side.  Doesn't matter how you swipe during the initial setup either.  So for those who hate swiping down i found a push/swipe up to be easier and less likely to touch the camera lens by accident.  The only thing I don't like about is A) its in the back meaning if the phone is laying down i can't scan my finger print... B) if A happen, i have to type a password, I can't fall back to pin number or pattern unlock.

 

FYI comparing it side by side to my Galaxy S4, the Band 25 LTE 1900 reception is about 5-10% worse than the S4 (percent reported by Network signal info app) and it seem not able to hold onto LTE signal as well as the S4 and drop to 3G earlier (no surprise there if the reception is not as good as the S4).

 

On the other hand, I'm working in Downtown chicago this week and I was able to confirm the phone uses Band 41 TDLTE and pull 10-30mbps, at least if i'm outdoor,  Indoor in the office building I'm only getting Band 25 LTE. 

 

Anyone know when are they turning on LTE800 around chicago?

For all the new users out there who like messing with *#*#4636#*#*, the One Max is made with a built in "AUTO" selection. Guess HTC figured this hidden menu caused people some problems.

 

On another note, in terms of radio quality. It seemed to be on par or slightly better than the Photon Q I had previously. Comparing it to the S3, the One Max seemed to hold a band 25 LTE signal inside a house, while the S3 dropped it inside and stayed on 3G.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
