So true. I went from a galaxy note 2 to the One. I felt like it was a downgrade for me. Battery life was okay. I returned mine One today and exchanged it for a Maxx. I love it. Feels smooth and battery life is awesome. Just like my note 2. The one screen size was really small to me. I was going to hold out for the Motorola x but I read that to has a small battery. So pass on it for me.

Use Google Drive. That's what I did. And mine was also supposed to be from the S4 GPE.

[Droid Ultra General] jntdroid:
The One is an incredible device. But the fact of the matter is the battery life on Verizon is subpar - not horrible, but not great - and reception isn't as good as my S4 was. Again, not horrible but not great.

I love almost everything about the Maxx. Nice screen, uber-smooth and simple UI, the future potential of voice control (it's kind of just a gimmick now since all it really does is wake the phone - it's not so touchless after that in a lot of scenarios).

But the one thing that's pissing me off about it and is important to me with 3 young kiddos, and IMHO is inexcusable in this day and age of S4's, S3's, HTC One's, iPhone 4S's and 5's, Xperia Z's... that bleeping camera. It's simple, it's intuitive, it's quick and easy to get to - but the picture quality absolutely sucks unless you're in the most perfect scenario - i.e. plenty of time to focus, bright sunlight, everything perfectly still. It's like Motorola tweaked the UI to make it easier to use and upped the megapixel count, but still uses the same hardware as the original Droid and processes the images to a muddy mess. I'm sick of it Motorola, get your stuff together. /end-whiny-firstworldproblem-rant

I realize the camera might not be as important to others, and fully expect the "get your DSLR out if you want a real picture" type of responses, but the Droid Incredible 2, Thunderbolt, Galaxy S2, etc., from 2+ years ago took better pictures than current generation Moto devices, and faster in a lot of cases as well. Moto's just not even in the same league as the S4 and 5, and way behind the One as well. Forgive my rant, it's just very frustrating as I've loved the Motorola devices that have come out in the last year or two, but have always ended up returning them because the positives haven't outweighed the negatives of the camera for someone like me who really "needs" a good smartphone shooter.
[Droid Ultra General] driggity:
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but it almost seems like these camera issues are a result of the software trying to do too much processing in some cases. I don't have a Maxx yet and the camera wouldn't prevent me from buying it but I'm hopeful that a software update would be able to fix this.
[Droid Ultra General] jntdroid:
I agree, the processing is part of the problem. But I remember the same story with the Razr HD / Maxx HD / M, and they were able to improve the consistency somewhat, but not the image quality. I personally think they just use crappy camera hardware, honestly. But I don't know enough about the intricacies of how all of that works on a phone to speak with much authority on what the problem actually is. I just know it's the same problem, year after year - washed out, muted, cold (with flash), blurry.

I hope you're right, but I'm tired of having to hope for anything with Motorola's cameras. They claimed it would be different this time and they claimed the camera as an actual feature of the phone this time. At least before they didn't tout is as one of their strengths previously. Forgive my cynicism, I'm not as optimistic as you at this point! ;)

I'm also hoping they improve the "touchless" experience, because at this point, beyond the "cool factor" of waking your phone with your voice, it's not very handy or intuitive at all - keep in mind I'm coming from Siri / S-Voice, which do have their quirks, but both are much more intuitive and interactive after you wake them up.

Since I derailed this a bit - to bring it back home to the OP's question... I would say that unless battery life is your #1 priority well above everything else, I'd go with the One. Signal discrepancies are likely minor in general - but again if that's the top of your list, triple check your area. Sure, there aren't voice controls, but I've found the Maxx's voice controls to cause me more hassle in the car than they are a help, and the One stays out of your way.
[Droid Ultra General] One2thTEXAN:
Played with the One a week after I got my Maxx. One felt good in the hand and front facing dual speakers are cool, but I wouldn't trade my Maxx for anything. Development isn't a must for me, so that definitely doesn't persuade me whatsoever. Maxx has screen, weight, battery and the feel in hand that I absolutely love. :cowboy:
[Droid Ultra General] acPIZZA:
I am returning my one as my maxx just came in. I love the stock android feel and just knowing you can play with the phone till your hearts content and not having to plug in until at least when you go to sleep is a liberating feeling.
[Droid Ultra General] iamnohs:
I'll preface this by saying this was a five minute test at a Verizon store without tweaking any settings. Since I use my phone for navigation in rental cars a lot, both battery life and quality speaker volume are important. The One and Maxx were my top two candidates as a result. I was surprised to conclude, after playing the same YouTube video at max volume on both devices, that the Maxx actually seemed louder to me. Could be that the settings on the One were set for better music fidelity while trading off some raw volume. But it convinced me the gap in speaker volume was subjectively narrower than the gap in battery life and I opted for the Maxx.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I could careless about the camera that is just me if it takes decent pictures I am fine with it. Usually I use the camera to take pictures of checks for on line banking that is about it. The battery life and OS of the Maxx is awesome very minimal easy to navigate and the battery is great. The speaker on the Maxx is hella loud I find myself turning it way down to watch a movie or you tube and it is very clear. I guess I really just love th e build quality of moto phones. Even my bionic is still going strong on original battery and it is 2 years old. If I were you and really card about the camera why not wait for the G2 that camera looks awesome with the stabilization feature, A quad core SD 800 at 2.26 ghz a 3000 mah battery I may have gone with this instead of the Maxx if it was out already. The one thing I don't like about it is the volume buttons in the rear but then again I didn't hold it so I can't really comment fully.

My gf has the one and my MAXX is wwaaaaaay better
[Droid Ultra General] osatrevor:
Use your phone like you want to, not how your battery dictates

If there is only one reason to keep your Maxx over the One, it's the ability to finally use your phone and all of the features it has, the way you want to!

I don't think that I will pull 48 hours unless I'm camping and I really limit what the phone can do, and I'm fine with that. All I want is 18 hours, no matter what. I leave my screen on full bright, it looks gorgeous all the time and it's easy to see. I can use live wallpapers again, man have I missed them! I can use my wireless hotspot, with out plugging in!

I video chatted with my brother for 5 hours the other day, and still had plenty of battery left! Here is something fun I did on that note that was just amazing...

Got my bro in New Zealand to download Hangouts on his iPhone. He fired it up and strapped his phone to his bike. I did the wireless display to my 55" 3D TV. I switched it to convert the 2D to 3D, put on my 3D glasses, and went on a 3D bike ride around New Zealand! Soooo sick, I love technology and I love my Maxx. I wouldn't trade it for anything, even an HTC One! :0)
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
I played with all of the phones VZW has today including the G2(which was nice but glitchy and didn't care for back buttons that you don't have leverage with one hand to operate) and kept going back to the MAXX. Super fluid, screen was good, camera acceptable... just a polished feel with the minimalism I desire. S4 was at the top of my list but the phone feels like a magazine that is all advertisements.
[Droid Ultra General] jntdroid:
That was my biggest concern... I didn't see how that was going to work. I tried to play with one locally but the battery was dead in store and it was all hooked up so I couldn't even really feel how the buttons would work.

Mind elaborating on "glitchy" a bit? I'm afraid the battery at my store will still be dead today...
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
When in camera mode taking pictures, moving the lens in different directions it was not smoothly scrolling on screen. When switching apps it would stutter at times.

Kept getting "unfortunately maps has stopped working" message and I was not using maps. Might have been a setting. Not sure.

Looks nice though.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
The g2 I played with was immaculate. Faster than the maxx and s4. Great display too. Buttons were weird.
[Droid Ultra General] blue26:
Have to agree with you. And it's kind of heartbreaking really, I dig just about everything else about the phone, but the camera shots kill me. They look bad enough when I zoom in on the phone itself, then I made the mistake of checking them out on a computer. Debating now whether or not to take it back before my 14 day cutoff and wait for the Note 3.

Hi everyone thanks for coming in.

I have a nexus 7 and I broke the screen long time ago. Recently I ordered a replacement screen and try to replace it by myself.

The screen is able to light up and seems working good, however the screen is repeated and distorted.

It's not easy to explain what's happening so I recordord a video

Please search "youtube fTDfJYY" seems I am a new member and cannot post links

Have anyone faced the same problem? I am not sure it is whether hardware or software issue....

Any idea?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] wingcook:
Here is a strange (I think) problem. I'm running BeanStalk (latest version) and it's smooth as glass. I turn on TuneIn radio, start listening to a station and browse a bit. As long as my screen is on, great connection. Even when I put it down (plugged in, screen on when charging checked), no issues. When I turn the screen off, then put it down in the same place, it seems that the strength/speed will slow down to the point where it's re-buffering a lot.Verified the "keep wifi on all the time" setting in the advanced options.

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decantur:
Probably my own noob fault, but I think this is caused by wiping persist and firmware in CWM while attempting to flash CM10.2.

After rebooting wifi does not turn on. I have tried re-flashing stock using both rsdlite and DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.21 several times with no luck. Not sure if this is pertinent, but under advanced wifi options the MAC address is unknown.

My guess is that I have wiped something that is not restored in the stock images.

Obviously, the bootloader is unlocked so returning it is out of the question.

Anyone have any ideas?

So I put that file back into Persist partition and fix the permissions and got WiFi and 4G back, but only have 4G when WiFi is on! As soon as it loses WiFi it also loses 4G, which ironically is when I need it! lol, any idea how to remedy this? And dont get me wrong, i am very happy WiFi is on again. Oh, and when i lose 4G i go to 3G, at least my notification bar data icon displays 3G when WiFi goes out.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magic132131:
So I've always had my music on iPod but recently had to change it to my phone.

I'm having a problem which is the music album covers on the songs are displaying the wrong artwork.

Thing is I have the tags all correct and I know the artwork is there.

The thing is, the wrong artwork is only displayed for certain song which follow the rule:

Example: Artist is Eminem Album Name: Eminem Now most songs have the same artwork( the proper one) but certain songs have a different album artwork.

Every other album is fine but it is only with songs that have the same album but different artworks.

My problem is that I want the music player to display the proper artwork. how do i fix this?

all the tags are proper, all the lyrics are there etc so i don't need an app that fixes artwork

All my music is on the external sd card but it doesn't matter as I tested in internal, same thing happens.

Also only mp3 show lyrics in my music player, not the google play music app but the music player doesn't show lyrics on m4a. I even converted the m4a to mp3 and the lyrics still do not show even if I add lyrics to them. What's the problem? I never had these issues with a Ipod.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] smw6180:
Superwipe script for the T-Mobile HTC One.

Disclaimer: I've tested the hell out of this but I am not perfect. This should not cause any data loss aside from what's involved in a normal wipe. However you use this at your own risk.

I just came over from Sprint and I didn't see a Superwipe script available for TMO, so since I use it before ROM flashes, I decided to port it over.

What this script does:

This will wipe /data, /devlog, /cache, /system, /boot to prepare your phone for installation of a new ROM. It will also optimally format all of the above (except /data) for speed.

After MUCH testing and nuking of my internal storage (SD Card), I have now fixed this script so that no harm will come to any data on your internal storage. It will wipe everything else. As always I recommend backing things up (including external storage) before running any kind of wipe, whether it be within TWRP/Clockwork, this script, or any other script.

Please report any issues or errors to me and I'll fix them asap.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Accessories] AllFlasher:
Bought this case from Trident for 25.97 after summer13 coupon code. Case goes on easy and all the holes line up perfectly. Lets get to what everyone reads first.

Pros:

- large enough hole on aux plug for larger size aux cable.

- large enough opening at the bottom for charger plus easy to get cover open and resecure

-looks great and color is perfect. doesnt add too much bulk.

-buttons are easy to push. Volume rocker works flawlessly. I've had problems with this on other cases.

-made a few phone calls no problems hearing me even when resting on shoulder. Again had problems with this with past cases.

Cons

-screen protector cutout for the top speaker couldve been more centered making it more pleasing to the ocd crowd aka me.

-no rubber or grip on front so phone slides around when placed down. (Con to me pro for others im sure).

-no real added protection inside the case. I like having the rubber or silicone inside the hard plastic

-home, back, and menu keys are difficult for my fingers to press. However I feel this will be case with most cases with protective lip given the hard keys.

-Shipping took longer than it should. Its 2013 Trident get with the times 4 days to even ship it out. I ordered a product from att day after this case and it arrived b4 you even shipped this case. Anyway shipping took 8 days.

Would recommend case to a friend looking for a protective case. Will report back on drop test after I drop it. Not wiliing to do it willingly dont worry shouldnt be long given my clumsy nature lol. Overall nice case for almost half price of otterbox. This is my first review hope this helped if you were on fence about buying one. Any questions concerns or specific pics just ask.

Nice, mine should be here tomorrow. It was between this, the otterbox or wait for the seidio active case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdaniels31:
Quick overview...been running hyperdrive rls7 with some mods and been running nice. All of the sudden today when I got in my car, the verizon charger that always works with my phone says its now incompatible and the battery is not charging. Got home and hooked up to various chargers at different wall sockets...same message. Thought it might be a rom issue but restored to just stock rooted and am getting the same message. When the phone was in recovery (twrp) mode however i could tell it was charging bc it had a "58 +" which means it was charging (also it was at 50 before I restored).

What is going on and is this just the phone not thinking its getting charged, when it really is? I've googled this and have researched a decent amount and most issues of this type are a device issue...not rom specific. I really dont want to get a replacement device that has ME7. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm very careful when plugging my phone in since my wife has bent hers before. The only way that my phone seems to charge is if I revert back to rooted stock and throw the phone into recovery. The phone is recognizing that there is a charger plugged in. It's just saying it's the wrong one. I went to Android Phorums and it looks like several people over there are experiencing the same exact problem. It looks to be some issue with the motherboard. This guy replaced the "usp ribbon" inside the phone and that seemd to fix it...? Dont really want to open up my phone, but looks as though I might have to unless I want to restore stock rom and charge in recovery every night and then restore hyperdrive in the morning when I wake up (this is what i'm doing today at least)....

Also, just tried letting the phone charge with the phone off, along with the gray battery screen and the vibration every 10 seconds on the way to work and it actually charged up by 4%, so it seems the battery is chargable, just not while the phone is on.

You may want to consider purchasing a couple of extra batteries and an external charger. Anker brand batteries on Amazon are reported to be as good as the oem battery. You can get 2 batteries plus an external charger for $23. Beware of cheap oem batteries. They are often counterfeits from China that are not very good.

Sorry to hear that your problem is most likely a hardware problem. Some people are comfortable taking their phone apart and some are not. You will need to decide for yourself if you think it is worth the risk. I hope everything works out for the best for you.
