    in HTC

     From Jason Dunn on HTC elevate,

     

    The HTC One max is everything you love about the HTC One, supersized! Here's the list of the most important device features (the complete spec list is attached at the bottom of this post):

    • A massive 5.9 inch, 1080p display (Super LCD3)
    • A gigantic 3300 mAH internal, non-removable Lithium Polymer battery
    • A convenient rear fingerprint scanner for fast locking and launching of apps
    • A side-mounted power button for fast and easy access
    • 32 GB or 16 GB (varies by region) of internal storage, 2 GB of RAM
    • microSD card support, up to 64 GB in size (yes, we're giving you microSD in this product!)
    • Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5
    • Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor at 1.7 Ghz
    • The same UltraPixel camera from the HTC One (4 MP, f/2.0, 28mm lens)
    • 164.5 x 82.5 x 10.29mm in size, 217 grams in weight
    • Supports Qualcomm QuickCharge 1.0, with an included 1.5A charger in the box
    • 50 GB of bonus space from Google Drive

    Battery life is the #1 thing consumers want to see improved on any smartphone (regardless of brand), so if you're all about the long-lasting battery life, I can tell you from personal experience the HTC One max is absolutely amazing. How amazing? Almost55 hours of usage between charges. I literally need to only charge this phone every second day during normal day to day usage. And this isn't putting it in power saving mode, turning things off constantly, etc. This is WiFi on, Bluetooth on, and GPS on during the daylight hours (I use Battery Widget Reborn so it does turn these off at night). The HTC One max is the most impressive HTC phone I've ever used when it comes to battery life.

    Part of what makes the battery life great is us using the Snapdragon 600 processor. The HTC One max has the same screen resolution as the HTC One, which is a top performer, so the experience is the same on both devices. Everything I throw at the max it handles easily, so while other devices in this category are shipping with the Snapdragon 800, it's the day to day experience of using the device that matters more than the specs.

     

    Make no mistake, this is a big phone, but it's amazing how quickly you can adapt to the larger size. I've been testing the HTC One max for several months now, and prior to that I was testing the HTC One mini, so I went from one extreme to the other. The first couple of days, I felt the size difference was jarring. I quickly adapted to the larger size though, and now when I hold an HTC One it actually seems too "small" to me. Hah! For me, the HTC One max passed all the size tests: I can fit it in the front pocket of my jeans, and still bend over to tie my shoelace. I can fit it in the front pocket of my jacket (though just barely), and since I gave up on one-handed use a long time ago, I'm accustomed to using two hands now...though in a pinch I can do some basic look-up tasks with one hand.

    It's worth pointing out how great gaming is on a 5.9 inch screen. I had a few games loaded on my HTC One, but I honestly didn't play them much - but on the HTC One max, RTS games like Kingdom Rush are incredibly immersive and fun (I'm re-addicted to that game now). The dual front-facing speakers are incredible - the speaker chambers are larger, so it's even louder than the HTC One - and the camera experience is amazing with such a large screen. Sharing photos and videos with others on a 5.9 inch screen is so cool!

    Some of you will have noticed there's no Beats Audio logo on the back. This phone doesn't come with Beats Audio; HTC has chosen to focus all our audio engineering efforts on our own audio solution, BoomSound. I can promise you after having listened to may hours of music on my max that this phone delivers great-sounding audio that's every bit as good as the HTC One.

    How many devices connected to wifi in your house?

    in General Topics

    I wanted to use a custom system based out of Jacksonville but my wife's only condition to wiring our house was going with ADT since she trusted a name brand. At least with a USAA account, they offer a decent rebate.

    Adt uses Honeywell panels. Adt finds every way they can to get around the regulations and charge you 10 times what you should be paying for the services. About 30% of my work is fixing an Adt screwup.

     

    Back on topic, I forgot about a Kindle fire and a galaxy tab 2. And soon to be a xbox one and ps4 witch means I'll need another gigabit switch.
