That is great to hear about the zoo as I am about to make a trip there. My family went there last year about this time and the signal was horrible. I think my phone's radio kept trying to find a better tower because my battery died in about 2-3 hours which normally lasts the whole day.
I just read through all of the markets for their completion rates which I had not done in some time. I was pretty amazed at all of the NV 90%+ areas. Being in the DC area things seemed to of slowed down which was affected my overall opinion of the rollout. After seeing the latest updates I am very impressed. Hopefully they keep the push on.
I was able to get it to work from a N5 (4.4) to a Netgear Push2TV adapter. It did not connect the first time but then connected on the second time. The performance was a little choppy for video but stills seemed to work good.
One thing to try is Qualcomm's battery guru app also. I have it on my phone and went 19 hours. The phone had about 5% charge when I plugged it back in. There was a mixture of gaming/phone and many emails. I would consider it a moderate day of usage so I was pretty impressed.
I just got my first flash of 1x 800 in Old town Alexandria, VA. All of my bars went away and then it said 800 and stayed for a minute. Then the bars disappeared again and was on regular signal.
Yeah, even compared to my S4 the battery does seem to be mediocre at best like Robert was saying also. I have been off charger for 4 hours and am at 49%. This will be my second full day with the device. I seemed to get much better performance yesterday so maybe it is some app I installed.
Yes, mine worked fine and gets LTE. 32GB Black. I used my SIM from and S4. I am getting very nice speeds with it also, I am not sure which band I am on yet.
I was able to activate my 32GB black device using the SIM from my S4. I put the SIM in and called customer service, gave them my id minus the last digit. They updated my settings. I had to go update PRL and then update profile and everything worked great.
Just wondering how DC service is? Has it seemed to improve of late? I stay mostly outside of DC but many of my users live/work there. I have been hesitant to move those guys over from AT&T yet. Old Town Alexandria seems to have pretty good coverage now as did my trips to Fairfax.
I am growing tired of waiting for things to come though. I was so excited for the GN3 and then this phone when the other did not hold up but it seems to me HTC is just always late to the party. I am re-evaluating my strategy and may just go GS4 mini and then a Nexus 7 as I can't seem to find the "One" perfect device that is not vaporware.
My associate has the one and loves the battery life. He used an S4 for a two weeks while his one was out for repair and I heard him complain everyday about battery life being so bad on the S4. I am now using that S4 though and it makes it through the day though, so I am not sure what he is complaining about.
Have we seen the FCC docs for this phone yet? I tried searching but got no results. I am curious about whether it will be tri-band or not. With the Note 3 going single band I am on of the many here looking for an alternative.
Yea, I guess it is just preference. I have many friends that love or hate a phone purely on the physical buttons. I guess that is one of the reasons I love the Android ecosystem. There are so many choices that at least one of them is bound to fit your needs. I imagine it is a pain for developers though to have to deal with so many options of screen sizes/button layout and versions.
Fairfax County does have many lit areas but I was in Fairfax City last night and it was no where to be found. I wonder if they are not working on a tower though as there used to be decent coverage there. Now there were zero bars or was roaming coverage only.
