[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
I think that when it comes to something like Cell Performance, assumptions of it remaining the same are not really valid. Think of how many factors can effect the performance. Towers require constant upgrades to sustain the user load at any specific time. For example... 4 years ago Sprint in Denver was actually pretty decent, you got right around 800kbps in many places while T-Mobile barely got you dialup. Fast forward few months and you can't buffer a thing on Sprint, yet, you get 4mbps on T-Mobile. The difference is the upgrades, Sprint pretty much has done nothing to their network for a long time, and Network Vision was planned way before it actually went into deployment.

And even with Network Vision completed in some places, the performance is still not up to par really. Look up RootScore, just take a single look at the map. T-Mobile had and still has their issues, specially in rural areas. But when we are comparing cities, they are largely good, specially for how congested some areas are. There are problems with building penetration, I will give that... In some cases that is solved with their latest refarm for their network, although, some devices such as Nexus 4 don't automatically benefit from it.

Yep, last year Verizon LTE was giving me 25 down this year it's 5 and tmobile hspa+ is giving me 20 down, lol. But if tmo's new strategy gets their network to capacity it will slow down also.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
They are either capping it now, or it is a little. I went from 25mbps to 17 lol.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rpmccormick:
Coverage and congestion are 2 different things. I was talking about dropping due to signal loss. Congestion will just give a circuits busy message right? You will always have the same bars in the same area unless they remove a cell-tower right? ...or not? I was not talking about speed at all, we were talking coverage/dropped-calls.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
Kind of, for example... Hspa signal can vary depending on the time of day. The more congested, the less distance each tower will essentially cover. For sprint, there are areas that had service that now do not, or simply drop calls. This exact location a year ago was pretty decent on sprint, never had any call issues. Now, I drop pretty much everything.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ad78:
speaking of traitor, i will include myself. im a AT&T project/program manager (contractor) but im a long time verizon user. the reason i moved to t-mobile is issue with data and calls simultaneously. i work from home but most at least twice a week im in starbucks working waiting my time to pick up my daughter. at home i only have 2G (no drop calls) but in the city T-Mobile is amazing. i am rocking the ONE tethering (trevmod wifi tether) and has 4G. at the same time i can receive calls without interrupting my at&t laptop connected to the network. lol at&t will throttled you :D

Wow! A company is in business to make a profit? SHOCKING I tell you shocking!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] monte666:
Didn't say anything about the right to make a profit just said that the guy I quoted was right. And customer service shouldn't be sacrificed for profit and that's exactly what has happened at all the major US carriers. It you argue that than you work for the phone company
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
When I had the galaxy nexus, I had to call T-Mobile few times within couple of days. I could barely understand them, they did not seem very friendly at all either. Which made me sad, because few years before then I remember just how helpful they were.

Sprint usually has agents in US now and they are pretty decent in many cases. T-Mobile I called again like 5 times this week because I'm trying to bring my number back as sprint is terrible with data speeds and coverage. They were actually completely opposite of my previous experience. Nice, seemed as if they were in the states too, even called back with a resolution and when my call was dropped.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] coupetastic-droid:
I really don't know what tmobile you guys are contacting. I've never had a CS rep that wasn't American and that couldn't speak perfect English.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Same here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] girlygirl00:
We are calling the same one as you. -_-

It's the luck of the draw. I sometimes get a U. S. rep and sometimes I don't. You have apparently been lucky everytime, so far.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
I called tmo about 10 times yesterday trying to get my number back, then again when sprint phone deactivated, but T-Mobile one still wasn't working...

Every time it seems to be an American rep, they were nice and helpful. One time it was an Indian one I could barely understand, he was the one who initiated the activation. Long story short, last lady was super nice and fixed the issue, guess they forgot to actually activate my Sim again.... Run around was stupid and in store rep was useless, so I think T-Mobile is still in transition process...

So, first lady was nice, called back said that when I'm ready they can reactivate. Called back, lady said that they need to open a ticket to request a reuse of my Sim, since account Is cancelled and that will take 24 hours, so I need to call with a reference number then and provide sprint account info. Did that, the person says that no, I need a new Sim, that when account is fully cancelled they can't reuse it at all, she notated it for me to go to a local store to get a free Sim. Okay.... Went in, the rep called in and got a new reference number... I told him that I already had one, and the thing that he just did was done a day ago... And why DL I have to wait another day for something that should be completed.... He said, that this will work for sure in 24 hours since I now have two numbers... Idiot! So, I decided to just leave. Called T-Mobile and got an Indian guy, took me good 15 minutes to get him to start process and then another 15 to give him all the info, his English was terrible! Fast forward 6 hours, my sprint goes dead and T-Mobile still getting no service. Had to call in twice more, this time they were all helpful and last lady ended up activating the Sim, she actually was the best rep I spoke to.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rpmccormick:
You should port your number to Google Voice... then you don't have to worry about it, just install the Android app on any phone number and you are good to go. The down side is that you have to use GV for texting and you can't get MMS, but there are so many upsides like being able to place/answer calls on "speaker-phone" through any GMail window.
[Microsoft Surface] jamesst20:
Hello all :)

I am the owner of the Nexus 7 and i'm thinking to get the Microsoft Surface RT. I heard it was a lot laggy but these sources last from November 2012 and I guess Microsoft had the time to update and fix a lot of bugs.

So, how is as today the Microsoft Surface RT? Still laggy? Are there case where it always lags? Are games running smooth? Is Microsoft Office running smooth by now? Is the slow typing issue fixed? I want to know everything :)

Comparing to a Nexus 7, which will I find smoother? Which will I find best for games?

PS: I don't really play games but it tells more about specs :)
[Microsoft Surface] travieman:
For the most part it is fixed. You may get lag in PowerPoint and ink in word. Other than that... Smooth.
[Microsoft Surface] Dane Reynolds:
mines fine, but I am having a replacement.... (all cosmetic damage)

Performance; fast, no lag, smooth gaming(what ever games you can find)

Design; the magnesium case makes the surface amazing to the touch, it feels solid yet light.

it gives you confidence for when you drop it. Kickstand is brilliant (mine is still attached)

All The Good Stuff;

the surface has expandable memory(supports up to 64GB Class 10 SD)

battery life is acceptable(about 8 hours give or take - depending on what your doing)

kickstand (not adjustable)

type cover (I've had a few problems with this, but all have been replaced for free)

Not All Good;

speakers (but they can be made louder in settings)

crappy app selection (a few xbox games)

standard screen

heavy ( a little heavier than ipad)

glitches in the OS

type cover is hard to use

Hope I helped a little, things maybe added to the list!
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
I haven't found lag to be a problem in general when running native apps (emulated x86 is a different story, although even there most apps that work at all work pretty well). Both tablets use the same CPU/GPU and have the same RAM, so performance of the hardware is nearly a wash (the Surface RT has marginally higher resolution than the Nexus 7, which will probably have a trivial impact). Games that I've played on it run smoothly, if not necessarily at *very* high framerates. I can't compare it to the Nexus 7 as I haven't spent enough time using one, but performance is not a problem for me either gaming or browsing the web. The email client used to be laggy as hell; that's now much better. I've actually done a non-trivial Powerpoint deck on the Surface RT, and had no noteworthy problems with lag there either (scrolling was just a little stutter if I went fast, but that happens even on my work PC) although my slides weren't terribly complex.

The biggest differences, specs-wise, between the two tablets are that the N7 has GPS, NFC, and optional cellular data, but comes at 16 or 32 GB of non-expandable storage, while the Surface RT has a rear-facing camera as well as the front-facing one, 32 or 64GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot. The Surface RT also has a standard USB host port, which makes it easy to add additional storage or connect other types of devices like gamepads, cellular dongles, and even phones or other tablets (although no, it cannot run ADB).

EDIT: I'm wrong, the Nexus 7 has only 1GB of RAM, which is half as much as the Surface RT. Surface should support heavy apps and multitasking far better than N7.
[Microsoft Surface] jamesst20:
Thanks for all those comments :) if other people have some stuffs to add I'm willing to hear them :)

What do you guys mean by OS Glitch?

Also, is the tablet scratch proof? (screen and back)
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
The Surface line is *extremely* durable. The chassis has been shown to survive everything from being used as a skateboard (at one of the announcement presentations) to flying off a car roof on the freeway (albeit with some denting); search and you'll find these incidents. It's intended to withstand multiple drops onto concrete from "person height" of like 3.5' or so (mid-torso-ish; I should ask my friend who works in that department again). I've personally stepped on mine by accident (lying on carpet, though) with no damage at all. The screen is Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which is extremely scratch resistant, and with the metal chassis protecting the edges, it's also very shatter-resistant. In other words, it's as close to "scratch proof" as any real-world consumer object is going to be. It is technically possible to break the kickstand, but the demo video I saw required putting a large part of a grown man's weight on the top edge of the tablet (with kickstand open) before the hinges gave.

Also, in case you didn't see above, I screwed up on the spec comparison in my previous post. The Surface RT has 2GB of RAM, twice as much as the N7. Windows RT will probably have a larger base memory footprint than Android, but the difference should still allow for a lot more multitasking and also for larger programs or data sets (I've loaded really huge Excel spreadsheets with no problem, and regularly have dozens of browser tabs open, for example).
[Microsoft Surface] jamesst20:
Thanks you :) Just watched a lot of videos on destructions test and performance :) So far so great :)
[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
Now isn't a great time to buy hardware, since this is the tail end for last year's hardware cycle. Models, especially RT ones, are hitting clearance. There's the Dell XPS 10 RT (posted in Windows RT forum) for $250 if you want to jump. No firsthand knowledge, but the XPS 10's Snapdragon S4 is faster than the Surface's Tegra 3.

Edit: Looks like the Dell XPS 10 deal is dead. Please ignore.
[Microsoft Surface] Dane Reynolds:
My Screen has had no scratches so far.... And for the back of the device, well that has had a few scratches, I think they are from my keys and loose change.
[Microsoft Surface] jamesst20:
What do you mean? I don't think the Microsoft Surface RT 2 will be out before end of 2013 or maybe start of 2014 :$ and rumors says it will be smaller :(
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Gorilla glass has a very high hardness rating, in general in order for an object to get a scratch the object scratching it has to have a higher hardness rating (no innuendo intended).

There are few common items with a higher hardness than gorilla glass. Some precious gems like diamond and sapphire (by extension ruby) will easily do it, so basically don't try scratching a wedding ring (if you happen to be married and using a diamond ring if course) against your screen. A few rare alloys can do it. Gorilla glass shards are of course the same hardness as gorilla glass so can also damage the screen. Sand (both builders and beach) is also capable of scratching the screen. That's about it. If you really tried you could do it with a material softer than gorilla glass but chances are by that point your not scratching the screen but plain shattering it (which is one thing, gorilla glass is damned scratch resistant and pretty tough but still possible to shatter)
[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
>What do you mean?

My dad did fortune-telling as a hobby, mostly for friends and acquaintances. He did palm-reading, and had all these complicated astrological charts. One thing I've learned from him is that people don't want to hear the truth (inasmuch as "truth" can be divined) if it's bad news; they only want good news. Fortune telling isn't about reading people's fate as much as reading people.

Likewise, people asking for opinions from existing owners aren't looking for advice as much as affirmation, because the natural tendency for owners is bias toward their already-made choice. It's called the confirmation bias.

>I want to know everything.

You won't know much by asking questions with only one answer. Do the work and start reading. Windows RT and Surface RT have been covered ad nauseam on tech sites, including this forum.

But that's not what you want to hear, so I'll oblige: I think the Surface RT is perfect for you. Buy now. Don't wait. There's always something better down the line, and you can keep waiting forever.
[Microsoft Surface] jamesst20:
Don't worry I did read a lot :)
[Microsoft Surface] jamesst20:
By the way, I forgot to give some news here!

Ar first I bought the Microsoft Surface RT. I really realky enjoyed it! The only thing I didn't like from it was a few missing apps (such as Facebook) and maybe a missing Microsoft Visual Studio. I really wished I could do some programming on it :P So yeah after a week I returned it.

I then bought the Surface Pro wich I liked way more. Faster and I could use my Windows Programs :) I didn't like the fact the Pro version couldn't receive notifications in sleep mode, that really disapointed me. Also, it was impossible to set alarm since in sleep mode it wouldn't ring.

I had to sell it about 3 months later because I needed money to afford my school books and stuff but really, I really liked that tablet.

Internet full of examples about faults of HTC ONE:

buttons not working http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v5Oc5-7rbA&NR=1&feature=fvwp

proximity sensor not working http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otsa0_gkVI8

faulty edges: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwOu5oXpjVQ

Is it really so bad or it is just some unlucky cases?

Is there any more problems with that device and could anyone confirm issues above?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Jorakal:
I've had mine for 6 days now. Everything works perfectly. No build issues either.

I have never had a HTC phone that didnt have issues. Others have been much luckier than me....but I have had BAD luck. The One tempted me, but I stayed away due to my experiences.

Check this thread to get some info

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949604

Basically they mean exactly what the literal meaning is. That is a junior member is a new guy to site..

member is just a member.. not too new to be junior.. or not too old to be senior..

Senior member is a member who usually has enough knowledge about site functioning and other related stuff or knows how things works here..

But you get them due to your post count. 0-30 junior 31-99 member 100+ senior I think.. that thread has these info anyway.. so look there.. and do read sticky threads always ;)

My evaluation

Garden scene

- One: Yellow tint, colors look fake (exactly like when capturing images with day light white balance mode)

- S4: Cannot say it's over-exposed this round. Better contrast (look at leaves at the top of trees - upperhalf of the photo). However, the flowers part - downer half of the photo - seem brighter (a little over exposed). I think it's a good balance. Very good details. A little bit over saturated (green looks greener)

- XZ: So over-exposed at the top of trees, but good in the downer half.

____________________________________

- One: Nothing to say about the color. However, very nice bokeh effect, but the pay-off is the very aggressive refocusing.

- S4: This time we can say it's over exposed, but does not affect the quality much. A little bit bokeh effect

- XZ: Very nice this round, but no bokeh effect (maybe some people who prefer deeper DoV will not care abt it)

________________________________________________________________________

Louvre scene

- One: very dull

- S4: Good white balance and contrast

- XZ: a little bit dull and purple tint

____________________________________

I have been in Louvre many times, so I remember the color.

- One: A little yellow tint

- S4: A little over exposed, but nice and quite close to reality, best details

- XZ: pretty purple tint, not nice at all

________________________________________________________________________

Paris street scene

- One: still dim

- S4: best details, bright

- XZ: very close to S4 this round

____________________________________

- One: Not very dim, but quite over saturated and too yellow tint.

- S4: a little yellow tint, red color looks quite orange

- XZ: best color, but picture looks blurry

____________________________________

- One: out focusing, looks blurry

- S4: a little bit over saturated (maybe, actually for this criteria we need a superior camera as the reference for evaluation). Again, very good details. Nice white balance

- XZ: quite nice overall, but still blurry and a little bit purple tint

________________________________________________________________________

The rest followed a similar trend

- One: some scenes showed a big problem with exposure and make the brightness not stable and very dim

- S4: bright and very detailed, hard to say it's over exposed, but can say it's over saturated a little bit. Nice white balance

- XZ: overall is good, colors look true but a little bit purple tint

I also can't see which one was the best, but HTC ONE wasn't for sure.

By the way what seems to be clear is that the results could have been much better if they had the same kind of stabilization system than one of the Lumia phones (don't remember which model exactly).

Use this code in the terminal what is installed with CM10;

That changes it to mass storage mode when you connect it to the PC, slide down the notifcation bar and click on the notification, enable mass storage mode and when you are finished enter this code into the terminal to change it back to MTP;
