Hi bro, dont worry about warranty if you root. If you use bin4ry method there is an unroot option, so go on.
[HTC Droid DNA] 2001400ex:
This was a tough decision for me, but today I bit the bullet and got the Maxx hd. I am posting this in the DNA forum because that is the phone I wanted. I truly wanted that phone.

DNA pros, and why I wanted the phone:

Fastest, most efficient processor available.

Best screen available.

I like sense and the dialer it comes with.

Solid cell signal in weak areas (this fact eliminated Samsung for me, but neutral with Motorola)

Reviews say great build quality.

5 inch screen

I prefer the physical buttons rather than on screen

Great camera

$100 less

I like the stock music app

Why I didn't want the Maxx hd:

Old specs

I don't like pentile screens, my eyes notice the little dots

Terrible reviews on the camera

Not a fan of blur

Not updated to 4.1, doubt it will come before the year like they promise

Why I bought the maxx hd:

I travel a lot and am a heavy user, especially when traveling. I figured I would be cussing the battery way more than cussing the screen and camera.

I want an sd slot, or more than 11gb of free space.

I really like the notification light. I frequently work in a conference room with other people and hated the tbolt light, couldn't see it while sitting on my desk. DNA is in the grill too, tho I hear it is easier to see. The one on the back is a waste to me.

Those are my thoughts. Both great phones, tho I am truly bummed. If there was an sd slot and 2500 battery rather than 2020, I would have the DNA tomorrow. If I didn't travel like I do, I probably would have gotten the DNA because the wireless charging would negate the small battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
I understand that some people need more battery life than the DNA gives, but when flying aren't you able to plug your phone in? (it's been ~10 years since I've flown) If you had to in between flights that would be horrible but I personally wouldn't care much during... well, maybe if I wanted to use the phone landscape since the plug is on the bottom. If you're traveling by car, you can plug it in pretty easily as well. Just my .02. You have a good 2 weeks to decide and there's a lot of cons for the Maxx HD for you.
[HTC Droid DNA] 2001400ex:
Ya I fly every week, And I am often not by a charger. I could have bought a battery pack and thought about going that route. Like I said, for me, the battery was highest priority and once a week I would be cussing the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
I'm surprised every seat doesn't have an outlet by now. That's dumb. Guess I forget how lousy airlines are.
[HTC Droid DNA] 2001400ex:
Some overseas flights do. When I went to Dubai earlier this year, I had a plug in, tho there was also a tv for every seat and no internet so no need to use the phone. Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Honestly how do you manage to go through a whole battery in a trip.

Assuming you for some reason you only travel with no other electronics except for a phone and refuse to plug it in during the trip, how can you possibly use more than this.

Get to the airport with 100% battery

Use it for maybe a half hour, so you may be at 85% now if you were playing some games for that time

Get on the plane and put it on airplane mode, you may be at 70% by the end of the flight if it was long and you were playing some more games

You have a layover so you eat some lunch, check up on some emails, surf the web for a bit and call your wife and chat for a bit, so your at 60% now

Next flight comes around, put it back in airplane mode, by the end of it your at 45 if you played some more games.

Now your at your destination, but your a half an hour from your hotel but your company loves you and pays for a driver, you play even more games, your now at 25% battery.

Now your at your hotel, you can plug your phone in and watch some TV and never got a battery warning.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
why not spend $50 on a really good battery pack rather than an extra $100 for a bit more battery in the phone? I personally carry a small 5600 mAh external battery that cost me $35 as to render battery life a non-issue
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
I never understood the travel argument. First all airports have charging ports. 2nd, if you travel that much...why are you using a phone at all? Get a Nexus 7 or dare I say an iPad. Way better battery life and experience for when you fly. No need to use your phone anyway.

However I'm glad you're happy with your choice. Moto is a complete non starter for me these days with Ft Knox bootloaders and I refuse to to be at their mercy for updates.
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
The Razr Maxx HD is only $200 on Amazon - $180 with a new plan. The price of the phone dropped substantially the day after its release. I'd also personally find the battery charger annoying to carry around and plug in and would rather buy a phone with the battery life I need.
[HTC Droid DNA] 2001400ex:
Yeah, that is about how it goes, minus the showing up at 100%. My thunderbolt with the 2750 battery sometimes was on its last legs getting home Friday night starting at 90%. I usually have a 3 hour layover Friday nights.

Ya but I wanted to keep unlimited and you can't do that thru amazon using the second line trick.

2 other reasons I forgot to mention in my original post is foxfi works in the maxx and voice / data work on 3g. I am often in 3g only areas and talk on the phone while tethered.

My post as in no way bashing the battery life on the DNA. I read pretty much every review it there and the 25 page thread on the DNA on this site. My tbolt got me 4-6 hours of in screen time, I know the maxx is more like 5-7 hours on screen time and the DNA is closer to 3. I am impressed reading about what they have done to increase battery life, it looks like they accomplished a lot since the tbolt and rezound days. And if my wife were looking for a phone, that's the phone I would get her today. And I think the battery works for probably 95% of the users it there. If I have a friend looking for a phone, that's the one I'll recommend.

Just not for me. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] jonjvaughn:
I tend to rely on one of those ZaggSparq portable chargers to give the little more unmpf I need to finish the flight or day with my TBolt and expect the same with the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] Zodwraith:
I find it interesting when there's a battery life discussion there's always someone saying "all you need to do is A, B, and C and you should get through your day".

I work construction and there's constant battles over there never being enough outlets, besides do you want your $600+ phone sitting there with 40-50 strangers walking past it? I went almost a year carrying a 5000mah battery pack for my RAZR and it's a royal PITA pulling that whole mess out of your pocket every time you get a call, message or just want to skip a song on Pandora. TuneIn radio can kill a 1700 battery by 1 pm.

You have no idea how liberating it is to not have to jump through hoops trying to do everything you can to save battery life. Turning on/off lte, gps, wifi, and airplane mode when it's needed, brightness to minimum, trying to plug in for a minute here and there to get that precious charge.

Anyone that tells others to jump through all those hoops obviously lives and works next to power outlets 24/7 or their life is so dull that they look forward to babysitting their settings like having another child.

A big freaking battery just works. No merry go round swapping of settings or constantly eyeing the battery meter. Put your settings where you want, leave lte on, then just unplug it when you get up then plug it in when you go to bed.

Do i wish i had the guts of the DNA? Of course. Would i give up the huge battery and 48gb of storage for it? Not even if it was free. I will never be chained to an outlet again.

Sent from my Droid RAZR HD MAXX using the XDA Developer App
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
I again agree with all this. I have a rezound and don't babysit my settings unless I'm outdoors and knowing I'm not going to be using it, I'll swap it to 3g only. I use the extended battery and have 7 of them in the house between the wife and I to use (thunderbolt for her, uses same extended). I don't need the battery life, but it is nice to have.

No phone is perfect right now (not even the iphone and its small screen). All of them comprimise something. If there was a perfect phone, it would be a no brainer on what to get, but everyone will have to choose what is best for them. For me, I think I'm going to try a note 2 first, see if the reception issues are a problem for me (live in a big city so hoping not). If it doesn't work for me, then the DNA will be plan B. I survived with the HD7 which was worse for battery life and still only 16gb so I know I can do it.
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
While your point is valid, it's also a special use case. Everyone is different and you can't expect everyone to have your lifestyle. I'm not defending OEM choices, but the vast majority of people don't have that kind of situation and you can't expect them to invest extra money into things the majority of people don't need. The beauty of Android is choice. If you found a phone that suits your needs, great. I'm not sure why you feel the need to come here and hate on people giving options to help make their lives easier in different situations. I have spent a great deal of time in my career working in stats and analytics, and some of the most rewarding pieces are showing people who so staunchly "can't believe" this or that exactly how big and different the world is outside their backyard.
[HTC Droid DNA] cdmoore74:
I would by a battery pack and wifi drive before I get the Maxx HD. The screen and the S4 Pro processor is reason enough.
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Are you a member of the Admiral's club or something? I travel a lot and there is a fight to get to an open outlet - often you'll find one on the floor by the window where no seats are. I've been to a couple of airports that have some outlets but for the most part there is about 1 outlet per 100 passengers.
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
Most airports I've been to have those Samsung branded charging stations everywhere. LOL for Admirals club...;)
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Well said. For many of us, we just want a phone that works reliably for a 24 hour period with normal use. We don't have to buy a thicker battery for it, buy a spare battery for it, buy a car battery and strap it under our shoulder, walk within the radius of an extension cord or only turn our phone on when we have to actually use it or scheduled an incoming call.

And how many people at JFK, LaGuardia, OHD, ATL, LAX, DFW etc do you see fighting for access? Do you see one at every gate?
[HTC Droid DNA] trebb:
Many sources have cited that the DNA gets about 4.5 hours of screen on time. Not 3.

Also, how the hell did you get 4-6 hours of screen on time with the Thunderbolt? That has the worst battery/power management I've had of any phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] 2001400ex:
I had the extended battery that was 2750. After the updates, it got much better battery life and has a good radio.

And from what I understand is the 4.5 hours was unplugging it and 4.5 hours straight. That doesn't translate to unplugging at 6:30 am, screen on for 4.5 hours, then be at 10% at 10:00 at night.

My first day today with the Maxx, I unplugged at 3:00 am, talked on the phone for an hour, and had 5.5 hours on screen time by 9:00 pm when I plugged it in. I was on it playing with settings a lot and reading while I was fixing a computer with its 20 reboots. I am guessing the DNA would have been dead at 3:00 pm. Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
Wife still has bolt with extended battery and it doesn't get those screen on times. Hell, my rebound with extended battery doesn't hit those times. That 4.5 hours was a battery test looping a video.

Glad you found a phone that meets your needs. I found the razr very uncomfortable to hold.
[HTC Droid DNA] syntrix:
Did I mention that I can kill my maxx hd in less than 8 hours?

I want someone to give me a DNA, I will be your benchmark authority and do my best to kill it in less than an hour! I do respect the traveling aspect, and not having to worry about another battery pack or chargers or mobs at airports fighting over the only 2 outlets in a terminal!
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
while this solution might not be reliable for phones, but my mom would always carry around a power strip with her when traveling with her laptop. it's as easy as asking the person using the outlet if they mind quickly unplugging to plug in the power strip.

for the average person who has a 30 min or so commute to work, I would recommend a 1-2Ah car charger, you'll get a fast charge on the way home and it will last for the rest of the night assuming it lasts through work.

I really haven't had a problem with my external battery either, it's not that inconvenient to have it in your pocket with a semi long cord and just pull out the phone while having the cord going into your pocket. I also carry my phone on a universal holster so the cable is just going from it straight into the pocket when not in use and i still have full access to the phone.

Which is your favorite? Thx
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] deaffob:
Firefox beta. I use the chrome bookmark widget tho.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] phemark:
Opera was the best on the phone, but its tabled UI is a bit weird.

1) Resolution needs to be rescaled, because now its tiiiiny

2) And I really want tabs

But speed wise it is very good
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] johno86:
QQ Browser or Boat Browser. The best two alternatives IMO.

Faster, more stable, and no early development bugs/glitches.

it scores higher than chrome on html5test.com

chrome has stutters when scrolling

Ocean browser is the bees knees for those that don't wan to root
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] dr9722:
+1 Ocean browser is the best!
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] digitalrelic:
Ocean browser really is the best. I was sold on Dolphin + JetPack before I tried Ocean, but Ocean really does beat it pretty handily.

It regularly gets under 800ms in Sunspider, is as smooth at scrolling/zooming as the iPad, supports flash, and doesn't have any of the weird glitches and quirks that Dolphin + Jetpack has. The only thing that's somewhat lacking is the GUI, which is a bit dated and ugly looking. I always keep it full screen though and just use the quick menu, which is beautiful.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] WackyClash:
Ocean browser is hands down the best imo. Went back and forth between that and dolphin for a while but ocean is way better.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zander145:
Will the lack of actual devices harm the development for this phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llblwskydrgn:
It's their flagship device, so Google is probably working at supplying more phones right now. I'm sure that they will be able to meet demand as to not to stunt the growth of development. I have a feeling they wanted to sell out of their first run to create some buzz around the phone, whether it's good buzz or bad buzz, I'm not so sure...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilfred888:
It's certainly going to slow down development since less people will have the device. But I'm sure it will be quite popular and well supported by December.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klin1344:
Don't worry, devs will have this device soon. I wanted a Nexus 4, but I was unable to snatch one due to Play Store issues on the first day.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zander145:
This is exactly it! You're a dev who would be able to contribute to the community, but was unable to acquire a device. Yeah theres always batch #2 but what happens when it sells out? 3 more weeks?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resynx:
It's a Nexus, I can guarantee you development well flourish soon enough. Back ordered or not, many people will do whatever / wait however long it takes to get this phone.

[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] infernoflo:
I have and it works great. 2.6 and 3.0 both work well and I can stream the games. It also works hooked up to the HDMI port on the tv. You'll need to sideload it. I downloaded it on my phone and copied the installation file over to my tablet and loaded it from there. Any "App Backup" app should do the trick.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandemonium2k4:
Ok, maybe i was one of only a little number of people that had major problems with 4.2 and ill almost accept that. I can't get over how many of you passionately stick up for an obviously screwed up update! Is everyone brainwashed? like the apple whackos that think having to upgrade their phone every few months is cool. Face it it sucks! Admit it and stop defending Google.

So your telling me that all the app developers are supposed to change thier apps to work with every whim that the monkeys see fit? Shouldn't Google make these updates with respect that the apps work with their update? There are many apps out there and only a few different versions of Android, so why should all these app developers have to jump through hoops to make thier already good working apps work with every damn android update?

I bought into that belief when I bought my Nexus 7 with jellybean and was like ok this is new technology, I must be patient and they will fix all the apps that are not compatible, guess what there are still a lot that are not compatible and a lot that had to be side loaded to even install. Well seeing the sheep saying again that its the app developers fault that they wont run is complete lunacy. Wake up sheep Google is the problem!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFAinHD:
Did you just call me a sheep because I love Google and this is the only mistake in an update I have ever witnessed them make?

Im really confused.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wpghtc:
4.2 is a great update.

Also JB itself is a dramatic change.

Apps are designed to work within the OS. When the OS changes, apps need to change. In order to be fresh, Google changes things. Not everyone will like the changes.

If you get mad at change, try a different manufacturer. Maybe Samsung or Toshiba. They do not update as frequently. They are also not what Google considers pure.

You clearly don't like Googles vision, as such, you should not own Googles tablet.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandemonium2k4:
I agree to an extent but not for every little update, a major update where they really change things sure but not every update they do that should have been done in the first release, like the landscape mode to name one.

You really need to stop making threads. You don't realize that you are posting in an PRO ANDROID forum. How do you think the response to your anti android posts are going to be received?

If you have nothing nice (or sensible) to say, don't say anything...

You are responding to someone with a Thanks ratio of .02. I am not sure logic is appropriate in this case.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
You should sell your N7 and never get another Android device.

I updated to 4.2 prepared for downgrading back to 4.1.2 if I don't like it but it happened that I actually DO like it - a lot.

Not because people like you call me names, but because of the new and enhanced features.

And of course there is bugs - especially with multiuser - as it's a completely new feature and those need ironing out, but they will be ironed out.

No.

It's the dev's own fault when their apps don't work.

Apps developed by following the guidelines and maybe even the best-practises WORK!

Only if you're a sloppy dev and you don't follow the guidelinesy our app may/will break, because it didn't propperly work fromt he very beginning you just got way unnoticed with it.

Best example it using a hardcoded "/sdcard" instead of the global property available pointing to the correct path.

And Google even took account for this - and numerous other - situation, so even you coded sloppy things still work (mostly, but there's limits to that as well).

See above, your argument there is completely null and void.
