[Droid Ultra General] brikim:
The Droid Maxx gets pretty crazy battery life. The pictures I posted above kind of tell it all. 1 Day 10 Hours off charger with 5 hours of screen on time and still in the 44% battery range. I love the stock google interface. I had an epic 4g touch and always had cyanogen loaded onto it. I bought this phone knowing that I wouldn't have to mess with it anymore which kind of got annoying for me. My wife ended up getting the LG G2 so we have both in the house. It is also a very nice phone. I don't like the LG UI that much but the camera is better on the G2. I was originally looking at the G2 but then started liking the Moto X. When I went to the Verizon store I started playing with the Droid MAXX and I just really like how this thing feels. The LG G2 screen does look good but I don't understand the whole 1920X1080 vs 1280X720 on a 5 inch screen.....really? My eyes must be horrible because I don't see that much of a difference in sharpness that everyone talks about.

Overall great phone. I am definitely keeping this one.
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
Keep the Maxx. After the update to the camera is has improved a bit. I'm running the ultra but I should have opted for the Maxx due to the amount of storage the device has. I used to be a us cellular customer and have used lg products with them. Same with Samsung devices. In my own opinion I would stay with the Maxx. Motorola is owned by Google and seeing how the moto x has been getting updates I feel that the Maxx and ultra will be getting them too. There are some things that bug me like not being able to set apps on the lock screen ( its just for unlocking) to the locked bootloader but coming from the s3 and having crazy signal issues this ultra gets signal everywhere.
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
Have you not tried swiping on the lock screen? You can set apps. Camera is preset by swiping right to left.
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
Oh yea.. I know that . I just know that I was able to edit what can be done too the lock screen
[Droid Ultra General] YoungSkeezy:
Ok Having the LG G2 for 2 weeks

I'm ditching it in favor of the MAXX.

Battery Life, had TWO LG G2's. Stock and rooted, with maddulus ROM. 3 hrs screen time. Not even close to acceptable for me (navy IT, always on my phone)

Cheap build quality, its plastic. greasy, button placement (although unique) is just awkward... knock on (tap the screen twice to turn it on) is limited to you ONLY using the stock launcher, any other launcher will KNOCK ON, but not off.

It's a great screen, like awesome. But holding it side to side to the maxx, 20/20 vision can barely notice the difference.

All in all. I felt jipped, specs are one thing. a crap looking/feeling device is another. Cases can only do so much.

(before the G2, had the note 3, and before that the maxx HD) Loved the note 3, wife didn't like the 700 dollar charge on my credit card haha.

Maxx Feels SOLID! I loved it, weight, everything was spot on. Yeah it doesnt have the latest processor, and 3gb of RAM, but it's a solid freaking phone. LG G2 for ME, didnt cover it.

This is just an opinion I have based on two completely different LG G2's to quiet the folks who say it was just a defective device. In terms of beauty, I think HTC One is the sexiest. In terms of day to day usability, Droid Maxx all the way
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
Good choice friend..Durable, well built, long lasting, not cheap, but..you get what you pay for..absolutely adore the "Screen Notifications"..the device is predictable, and yet exciting to use, doesn't seem to overheat on 3g or 4g LTE in a case, (battery life) never need more, I own two XT1080M's..

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] doctus:
This is just a note on an alternate way of doing the bootloader downgrade

If you have attempted to use pnewbootloader and it hasn't worked (error message usually states something about not finding the protection address in flash - can't recall exact wording) then another option which worked for me is to just install the bootloader_v5_15.nb0 file onto your SD card using XDArit and load it using the wallabypatch-sd.nb2 diagnostic image.

Here are the steps:

1. Grab the file wbt-1.5.zip form http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyPatch

2. Extract the wallabypatch-sd.nb2 file from wbt-1.5.zip archive.

2. Grab XDArit from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDArit (file link at bottom of the page).

3. Read the above page on XDArit - paying particular attention to the section on 'Dealing with 5.17 bootloader'

4. Obviously the wallaby patch tool you have downloaded and the one mentioned in the XDArit page above are one in the same, so write the diagnostic image to SD using the 1k header format etc.

5. Do the bootloader procedure described in the XDArit page to get to the "Restore SD" option.

6. Now after choosing 'Restore SD' you should be getting a prompt to insert the new image. This is your que to take out the SD card and put it back into your desktop card writer.

7. If you havent allready install the updated version of XDAtools the link is at the bottom of http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDAtools

7. Using XDArit again choose to write an image and this time select the bootloader checkbox and find the bootloader_v5_15.nb0 file thats in the "C:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries" directory.

8. Put your new bootloader image laiden SD card back into your XDA, follow the prompt and Zap.

9. upgrade and downgrade your CE image to your hearts content by just writing to an SD card using XDAtools and booting of it - no more pesky 5.17.

Hope this helps somebody, about the only part you wouldn't allready know from looking at other messages on xda-developer is that it does infact work and doesn't (at least not in my case - your milage may vary) frag your bootloader. All the kudos goes to the XDA-developers for making the tools
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farrenicus:
The ATT N2 seems to have had the same problem for some... My N3 will not keep time. It doesn't drift when active, but when it sleeps it loses enormous amounts of time. This morning the clock was more than 3 hours late. I did a full reset and it didn't make a difference. Network/time zone sync makes no difference. Setting it manually it still loses time when asleep. Initially the time is right. Only way I can resync is by enabling and disabling airplane mode. It's ONLY losing time when asleep, confirmed with TimeSync. I don't have root so TimeSync can't put a bandaid over this problem with auto-sync.

It's as if it has the equivalent of a dead CMOS battery, but I know modern mobiles don't have independent batteries for time. Surely it can't be specific to my hardware.

Edit: I exchanged it. Absolutely bizarre that this would be a hardware-related problem, but evidently it was.
[G2 General] Fstall303:
I have the maxx and love it but the camera is horrid. I keep checking the back to see if the plastic is off the camera. Anyone play with both phones? Is the g2 UI at least bearable and how do the battery usage compare?
[G2 General] hd-renegade:
I came from the Razr Maxx. There is really no comparison between the 2. Size wise they are about the same. The G2 is so much faster and smoother. Battery life is very good, and very quick to charge too. The display is so much easier to see in direct sunlight. The Maxx was difficult to see in direct sunlight.

I hope this helps you
[G2 General] Fstall303:
I was referring to To the new droid maxx. Not the RAZR maxx or the RAZR HD maxx..
[G2 General] trikotret:
Well you going to get better battery on the max since a larger battery. The G2 screen looks better and feels smoother. Has better camera than max. The only advantage I see with maxx is battery. The G2 should be able to get you through the entire day with heavy usage and some juice left
[G2 General] timsterzzz:
I had the new droid Maxx for 14 days. The camera was the deal breaker. I'm a camera phone person, the Maxx and all its new siblings have a poor camera in my opinion. The Maxx has insane battery life, but the L2 is well above average, especially being such a power house. Hope that info helps.

The LG UI is very bearable. I don't have issues with it.
[G2 General] goldenmonkey1:
Never used the Maxx, so can't compare. But battery life is as advertised, heavy use for about 12 hours now, and still 25% left. Camera is great. And the UI, which I was terrified about, is quite usable with some time getting it the way you like it. Stock launcher helps too, but I'm ok with LGs. IMO, you definitely want to change the keyboard to SwiftKey and the messaging app to Textra, but that, along with some settings tweaks and it's quite usable.
[G2 General] craigbailey1986:
I have had both. I miss the maxx some days because of the os. I think I may go back to the maxx soon because the fluidity of it is so much better than the g2
[G2 General] WPWoodJr:
Why did you leave the MAXX?

[G2 General] puothy:
I looked at both phones and picked the G2 b/c of the camera. Important for me b/c I have 2 young children and phone pics / videos are 90% of the pics we take. Personally, i like the interface of the Maxx better b/c I prefer stock and reminded me of my GNex, but camera was the deal-breaker. I really do not need a phone this power since I don't play games, but more than happy with the purchase. Probably will have more time for "life" now since I was a flashaholic when I had my GNex.....
[G2 General] craigbailey1986:
I have a phone issue... I like to buy them all. Lol. I have had pretty much all new phones over the last 3 years. On all carriers. Check my posts lol. But once we get aosp I will be happy again. I love stock android.
[G2 General] Codyfred85:
I've got both phones. I bought the Maxx outright and purchased the G2 after the unlimited data glitch this past weekend.

I like the G2 for the onscreen buttons, improved camera, and the fact that it is noticeably lighter. Battery life has been great. It doesn't last as long as the Maxx but it's close. I do miss the voice activation (I didn't use it much though) and the camera UI on the Maxx.

Biggest win for me was that it looks like developers are starting to take a look at the G2. LG finally put together a well rounded powerhouse of a phone.
[G2 General] jim_0068:
Moto X is getting an update to fix its camera performance and from what i've read it is significant and does fix it well. Since the "droid" line by verizon uses the same camera sensor as the moto x MAYBE you'll get a similar update.
[G2 General] jrgilbert79:
I have played with both extensively.

My wife owns the Maxx and I have a G2. They are both phenomenal. She has better battery life under heavier usage. But unless you are thrown in a coffin in the middle of the desert the Maxx isn't necessary because we all have enough battery for a full day of work and home before bedtime.

I prefer the LG ui over stock as I had a GNex for 2 years and found that I couldn't live without CM or AOKP to give me features. The LG is basically the same stock experience with nice icons and the ability to change the icons themes etc. I love knock on and I try to knock on everything to no avail lol. They are both great phones but the giant beautiful screen that is fit into a phone that is exactly the same size as the maxx is better for me personally. The voice recognition on the Maxx is not a gimmick ...its serious business. But it isn't anything you cant live without if you setup tasker to do things automatically
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cassio gebara:
Hello everybody,

Yestarday I received a highlight (message) on my One X saying that a software update was available.

Since the last software update passed more than 6 months than I choosed to do the update.

Everything is running well but I didn´t like the style of the icons (for example, the Timing Schedule icon was the 15 number on it and now is a timing schedule page), there was some app that were removed, the ring to slide and unlock the screen is not here anymore, etc.

My first question is:

Who is the responsible for that: Android or HTC Sense update ? I don´t know which was updated.

My current situation is:

Android version = 4.2.2

HTC Sense version = 5.0

The second question: Is there any way to move back to the old situation ?

Of course I would like to have everithing up to date in terms of apps, etc., but I would like to choose the "style" if possible.

On my previous HTC (Wizard), I made ROM update several times, but on current One X none.

Is it necessary to have a diferente icon style and up to date apps? As far as I remember, the ROM is cooked with a specific content.

Is it still true even for One X ?

Thanks in advance !

Regards,

Cássio
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
First things first, do you have the One X (quad core Tegra3 CPU) or the One XL (dual core snapdragon CPU)?

HTC are responsible for the way HTC Sense appears. The new styling (Lockscreen, icons, widgets, Blinkfeed etc) are all part of that.

If your phone is completely stock (which I'm guessing it is) there's no way to reverse the update. If you go through all the trouble of unlocking your bootloader, installing a custom recovery, installing root access, gaining SuperCID, and gaining s-off, then you can use an RUU to install the previous version. But, if you do all this you will no longer be on Android 4.2.2 Jellybean, you'll go back to Android 4.1 Jellybean. This will mean you no longer have any of the optimizations that come with the update.

All of those steps I mentioned above require a certain level of knowledge to undertake so you'd need to do quite a lot of research. To be honest, it's a lot of work just to go backwards, pretty much everyone who does it does it to move forwards and install custom software.

My honest advice to you is to get used to the new software, unless you're heavily interested in modding your device this really isn't the right route for you.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cassio gebara:
Update

Thanks Timmaaa !

My One X is for European market which means quad core Tegra3 CPU I believe.

I don't know what you mean with "stock" but I guess this is the case.

I was studing the new Sense and realize that there are some features that can be customized which helps a lot.

I agree that the way to "reverse" is complex and demands a lot of knoleadge. I remember a had to study a lot to replace ROMs on my Wizard years ago.

I decided to keep the current situation and become familiar with new features and designs due to complexity, have the old Android version and loose future updates.

Once again, tks for your help and advice !

Regards,

Cássio

Hmmm. Before that happens, if not to late, I think you should change the files around for recoveries. TWRPC seems to be the wrong Recovery file. It's a fail boot. I compared the files.
