Dang it. The wireless nerd in me was freaking out when I saw it and then the wife nagging at me trying to get me out of the store hahaha.

I don't have the One Max but wasn't impressed with it when I got to use it in the Sprint store today. It was on par with my One holding a -100 to -105 signal but having the Nexus 5 right next to me holding a -90 signal has got my ready to pull the trigger and buy a nexus 5 online. Of course my brief couple of minutes testing connectivity doesn't really amount to much but thought it was note worthy with its comparison to my One and Nexus 5. The One Max is a big phone but wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be.

Is the UL and DL channels right though? Ohh crap. Must be a mistake then. I couldn't remember if Moto X was tri band or not. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Up in Topeka KS at the Sprint store looking at phones and pulled up the engineering screen on the Moto X. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

I've been waiting to see some real world performance with the Nexus 5. Reading all this just might make me go out and pick this thing up. My last several phones have been HTC so I think I'm ready for a change. Thanks to everybody for contributing their experiences.

They should probably put an asterisk next to 90 days and say "90 day time frame is not applicable to Verizon".

Verizon hasn't even released the 4.3 update for the One.

Welcome to S4GRU!!

Like the other have said, you were connected to Verizon 1x and Sprint eHRPD. eHRPD stands for Enhanced High Rate Packet Data. What it basically does is allow for seamless data transmissions from EV-DO to LTE and vice versa.

According to android central, you can unlock the one max with your nipples! Amazing! What will HTC think of next??

From the HTC Website, yes. http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-max/#specs

You're worried about the changing of the 3G and 4G logos causing updates to take longer?

Those specs might be suspect. Why release the HTC One with 802.11ac but not on the One Max?

I was hoping the Note 3 would of been Triband as I was ready to give Samsung a try. Hopefully the stars align just right and the One Max is Triband LTE and Snapdragon 800.

[insert verizon phone with 50 logos and 4G LTE]

Well I guess here the Verizon employee did confirm 800 proc http://www.talkandroid.com/178173-htc-one-max-images-show-the-phablet-with-verizon-logo/ Now we just need a leak pointing to triband LTE :-) Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

They have the One Max in hand and didn't turn it on to see what processor it has? Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

Anybody having an issue with the "WiFi network Available" notification. I go in to Advanced WiFi settings and it is off but I still get notifications. If I check mark it to be on, exit out and get back in, it is now unchecked but still get notifications.

Ahhh that makes sense. Just looking under settings now and I see the Developer options.

Has any one figured out the Easter Egg under Software Infomation > More? You can click on Build Number and I tapped it a couple of times and it counted down from like 5 to 1. Now every time I tap it, it says "No need, you are already a developer".

The img needs to be renamed to recovery.img, zipped up and also contain an android-info.txt file within the firmware.zip. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Any of you that are noticing this with the bars, are you running OMJs ROM right now? I'm wondering if the Qualcom Location service FC'ing is the culprit. Also people who are stock let me know your results if you are able to replicate. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

I think they have changed the signal bars to actually reflect eHRPD or LTE. For instance, I'm sitting in my basement with 1 bar with a -86 1xRTT signal and a -112 LTE signal. If i get my One to lose LTE signal and drop back to eHRPD, i've got 4 or 5 bars with a -86 eHRPD signal. Anybody else notice this?

Just an FYI with anybody S-OFF'd and custom ROM. If you are still running TWRP 2.5.0.0 (like I was), once you flash the firmware zip with fastboot containing everything but HBOOT, Recovery, and Boot, you will run into a unresponsive touchscreen. There is a new touchscreen update in the firmware. After flashing the firmware zip I rebooted back into bootloader to get into to recovery to flash OMJ's stock rooted. TWRP was unresponsive so I had to hold down power and vol down to get out of it. Booted system and it was unresponsive too. Had to again hold power and vol down til it quit flashing the home and back lights, let off and hold again to get back into bootloader. Downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.0, zipped it up and flashed through flashboot. Got back to recovery and now responsive. tl;dr Update TWRP before flashing firmware zip and ROM.
