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

Going to attempt to buy the phone today..... Struck out at my local best buy, preferred wireless (sprint store) and radio Shack yesterday.

You need to hit a Corporate Sprint store, online with HTC (they have a $100 Best buy gift card promo) or buy it ONLINE with best buy, Best Buy's brick and mortar don't carry the phone

I would like to know as well, I would set mine to 2500, 800, 1900 in order of preference, 1900 is too bz in my area

I'd be very interested to hear your impressions of this phone after you have had it a few days.  I'm especially interested in how you feel the RF performance is.

 

Thanks...

What car charger are you using to charge your phone ?

Any decent one that can push out at least 2 amps should work fine, be aware that if you are using detachable USB cable type, you need a high quality cable (real OEM for example).  I was using some generic cable yesterday on a road trip with a new charger and it could not keep up with me using Waze for GPS... draining the battery at a rate of about -500ma even plugged into the charger.  

 

After I got home and before I head out to dinner I grabbed my trusty HP Touch pad's cable which I know for sure is capable of delivering high current, plugged back into the same charger and I was getting +500ma when using Waze.

My personal impression is the RF for LTE is not as good as the Galaxy S4, I remember looking at the LTE side by side and the RSRP is 5-10dbm worse than the S4

 

a couple post above zodiac say he feel it is better than the Galaxy S3

Well I've been rocking the One Max(with the power jacket case) since friday and for the most part its a great device and Dat Screen!!!!  As for the rf performance, its great when it comes to the 1x and 3g side of the things and compared to the One its slightly better in the 4g department but still has a ways to go to get close to the N5.

Thanks for your input.  I really like the screen on the one max, but I'd hate to sacrifice LTE.  Somehow, I'm always in a fringe reception area.  C'mon 800 MHz LTE!

Do you know how to prioritize the lte bands?

 

Where did you get the power jacket and what chargers you using?

Actually I got the One Max and power jacket directly from htc to test out and keep.  As far as a charger I just use the stock charger it comes with which charges the phone a lot faster.  With the power jacket I am getting two days with what I would consider heavy use.

That's for priortizing 800 smr (voice), we want to prioritize the lte bands to find band 41(clearwire ).

 

If anyone knows how to change the band priority like on the g2x key me know and I'll be the guinea pig...

I have a question about the HTC One Max.  I was looking at the Sprint LTE coverage map for PA on Sprint.com.  When I choose the HTC one max as my device, there are large areas of no coverage.  If I change back to my current phone the LG G2, I get off network roaming in the same places on the map that the HTC One Max shows no coverage. 

 

Is there an essential band that is missing from the One Max that doesn't allow roaming on Verizon's network?

 

I tried many other Tri Band phones as the choice of device on Sprint's coverage map, but only the One Max shows the vast areas of no coverage.  Is this an error on Sprint's coverage map when the One Max is chosen as the preferred device?

 

Curious?

Can't answer you 100% but would guess that it's an error.... I believe it's a world phone.

Yeah, It's kind of strange.  When I chose the One Max as my device on Sprint.com coverage maps, it shows no coverage in areas where other Tri Band phones or single band phones show off network roaming. 

 

So how are you liking the screen?

Really like it, just getting my screens and apps setup....Really want to connect to phase one and two band 41 in Columbus though.

 

I've had my evo lte with me all day comparing signals, etc...I'll update my non scientific findings tomorrow or Wednesday.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
