When you use over 2.5gb of data and they throttle you. Is it unusable. Anyone have pictures of speed test?

I don't have a screen shot of the speed test, but once they throttle your connection it drops you down to a 10KB/sec speed. Usable, but painfully slow if you want to download a large file.

[HTC One Max] recepo1:
Hey guys im interested in the Htc One Max. Ive watched all the reviews online it see it gets alot of negative reviews due to the not upgraded specs from the original one. My question is it really worth buying and how is it overall as far as display, performance, and multi tasking? I dont really trust the youtube reviewers opinions. Thx in advance for any insight
[HTC One Max] DROID3R:
Well I wanted a phablet... I had the GS III.. I got sick of the lag in touchwiz. Now i understand why Samsung uses the latest specs and most RAM. Touchwiz is really a resource hog.

So i gave up on the note 3. I bought the LG G2 while I waited for one max on verizon.

So yesterday afterwork i went to verizon and got the max on the device payment plan(NOT EDGE).

The phone is luxurious. No lag at all. I love sense.

Android 4.3 and sense 5.5 work amazing together.

The display is amazing. SLCD performs better than AMOLED.

Snapdragon 600 or Snapdragon 800 are just ploys. I had the lg g2 for a month. Believe me i don't notice any difference between the 2 in performance or lag.

[HTC One Max] asteetva:
Love it switched from Samsung with higher specs

I love it, i switched from Samsung with higher specs. Htc has provided text reflow from the beginning and right now HTC is the only one that is still providing it. With screen as big it is essential when you are browsing on your phone. Others provide solutions where you have to click on increase Text size. White on this device you just pinch zoom and it auto wraps. There is one feature I miss from Samsung and that is Hardware Home button, its handy when you want to wake up phone from sleep. Apart from that I love everything else about this phone.
[HTC One Max] recepo1:
Thanks alot for both of your replies, im curently using the note 3 and im sick as touchwiz as well. Sure you can use a third party launcher , but honestly samsung is just recycling the same things over and over. I had all the notes 1-3 and end up selling them within months i like the one max build quality and i really like sense 5.5 im just hoping T mobile will carry it soon
[HTC One Max] Grimmity:
I just picked mine up two days ago. Came from an HTC DNA.

So far I have liked it but I still miss my DNA, but I think that's because I had Viper running on it. In due time it will come to the One Max as well... just have to wait.

Otherwise I think it's the better of the two between it and Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
So, lets cut to the chase here.

Was playing around with my CM10.1 powered Galaxy W when it shutsdown by itself when its on sleep mode.

I tried switching it back on and it just shows the "Samsung" brand name in verry short seconds and then repeats from the start. How to fix this manually? Am i suppose to go for SSC:(???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
If you didn't install any custom kernel/mod/system tweak, then from CWM recovery, you could try the "wipe data/ factory reset" option. See if it helps in any way. Although...from what you're saying...looks like you've got some custom stuff in there. For this case, I'm afraid your only way out is by making a pristine install of that ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
I only flashed MonsterV15 ROM after i pristined everrything. Also, I can't go to CWM properly as my phone keeps rebooting. The boot sequence i guess is Samsung -> Model no. -> bootanime' but i can only go for the first step and then it reboots. Another thing i discovered is that my phone switches on by itself when i insert the battery :( :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Well, both sound like ROM issues to me now. But apparently at least one of them (the reboot issue) should be fixed. So head over to the dev thread. Looks like there is some new stuff in there. Also if the auto-turn-on thing when inserting the battery is not fixed too, you might as well report this in that thread.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Uhm, actually, the auto-turn-on issue & reboot issue thing happens when i insert the battery as well. Also, i can assure you that this ain't ROM issue. Previously, when i used OneOfAKind ROM, i switched SIM cards and then the auto-turn-on issue & reboot issue happened from there. I left my phone and battery apart for a day and then tried putting it backand BOOM it came back to life. So from there, hoping tht THANG won't happen again in my whole life, i pristined installed MonsterV15 and all went well when the THANG happened once more and i ended up heree .___.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Standard battery? Could you try with another (maybe stock) battery. Also...does it happen with any CM version?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
This ain't software related....it's hardware related.....guaranteed.

It's a faulty power button.

The power button is behaving as if it were being continuously held in.

If you continually hold the power button on a normally booting W I bet you could replicate these exact symptoms. The results would be the same on insertion of the battery too.....

I answered an identical question a few weeks ago in this forum....and having done some research on the issue, I can tell you the only way you're going to fix it is take it to a service centre where they'll replace the entire main board......the power button is soldered directly to it.....

I'm guessing you can't successfully enter download mode either? So flashing back to stock beforehand isn't an option either....that shouldn't be a problem though.....if you can't get the phone to boot, they won't be able to either.....so they won't be able to tell what OS you're running. Even if they can, there's NO WAY they can argue that running a cusROM caused the power button to fail. Don't forget that the warrantee on Samsung phones is 2 years........

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kabychow:
yea... I totally agree with keithross39. it's hardware related... Me and [MENTION=4723408]hurtsky[/MENTION] have this problem before too~ what i did is, insert the battery (and it will power on automatically). then spam the power button while it's booting... and it successfully booted (because the power button is not 'holding' anymore), you will see the reboot dialog pop out or screen turning on and off automatically. If you are lucky (like me) i fixed it myself by spamming the power button add don't press the power button anymore.... For now, I use the notificationbar's widget as screenoff, use terminal emulator to reboot or reboot recovery. I know that's weird, But I don't want to send it samsung because my phone is not original, it's AP
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
So you mean, you did that once and your phone booted sucessfully? Wow!! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Funny though, last time, that power off loop thing happened to me again but i managed to pass the bootanimation and to the ROM after i left my phone un touch for a day and also cos' i have this certificate of warranty and it says i only have 1 year of warranty IF i send the customer copy to samsung to so called "register" the warranty which i didn't, i can't really do anything :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Anyways guys, thanks for helping me, now, there's another issue, my phone didn't switch on upon inserting the battery :D however i can't poweron the device :( Charging works but it doesn't show the battery juice indicator. j
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
UPDATE: guys, i took my phone to a repair shop to yeknow' gauge the amt of money to repair the phone. In SG, the galaxy w secondhand costs $135 ! I bought it firsthand at $330! So, i'm guessin' if the amt to replace the mainboard is too high, i'd just buy tht secondhand phone ... -.-

Use odin flash twrp recovery, then boot into twrp wipe caches and fatory reset then flash a stock 4.1.2 Rom that's what i did .. But the first time you wipe everything with twrp it might book back into twrp but just keep rebooting till it reboots to the stock room. Thats what i did now :D

I'm quite satisfied with the battery life.

It's my first Android phone and I had three iPhones. I don't find any of iPhones lasted longer than this phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpmccormick:
My buddy is coming from an iPhone 4, and so far he hates everything about it as much as I try to change his mind. He is more concerned with the screen-off battery consumption than anything. He swears up and down that if his screen is off 95% of the time (just quick reads of email/sms) then his iPhone 4 will easily last 3 full days while notifying him of sms/email/im/facebook/etc. I don't see how that's possible. He says all the time he would put down the iPhone at night on the 5% warning, NOT charge it over night, and it would always be alive for the alarm in the morning (without disabling any syncing). I don't see how that's possible. He basically believes that phones should not take hardly any battery when their screen is off, and he swears up and down that his iPhone 4 never did. His N5 loses about 6% an hour with the screen off, meaning he has to have over 40% battery for his phone to last through his sleep (he refuses to charge it while sleeping and says he never had to with the iPhone).

Unfortunately GSam battery monitor does not work in KitKat. Can someone recommend a way to get to the bottom of his battery issues (I have already turned off LTE, Location Tracking, auto-brightness, and using ART instead of Dalvik). ...or is 17hours _standby_ all you can expect from this phone?

The ad says: Standby time up to 300 hours†

†Standby time tests used default settings with LTE on and Wi-Fi connected to a test access point. Wi-Fi internet tests had Airplane Mode on with Wi-Fi connected to a test access point, while loading three popular websites cached on a local server. The Nexus 5 loaded a page, waited 40 seconds, and then loaded a page from the next site.

Did he just get a bad one that needs returning?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobyman7035:
get betterbatterystats to monitor his wakelocks, 6% per hr drains is BAD, it should be like at most 1% per hour

maybe has location and all syncs enabled?

mine only loses like 6% the whole night, i have like 97% deep sleep at least when screen is off
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mybook4:
Check the battery stats in settings. There is a known issue with Google Play Services and wake locks. A reboot usually solves it temporarily.

I put my N5 into airplane mode before I go to bed. No annoying notifications and less drain (no cellular paging). I have verified several nights that I lose 1% battery over 8 hours in airplane mode.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Auto syncs off. Constant account syncing is what drains the most battery when the screen is off.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpmccormick:
These solutions unfortunately do not work:

1) BetterBatteryStats requires root to give any useful info. He does not really want to root, but would if he could do it without erasing everything (not fond of backup/restore either, but if you can FULLY backup without root [or get root without erasing so no backup is necessary] then I could get him to let me root it). Probably off-topic, so I will continue to research no-wipe root solutions (keep seeing it referenced with no links)

2) Turning off sync or going in to air-plane mode will not do. He wants an instant notification for any communication-event 24/7 just like his iPhone4 gave him, and I for one cannot blame him, as my HTC One does for me without killing the battery (and thanks to researching this for him, I now have really long battery [even with all notifications] by using Greenify - but he doesn't since he doesn't have root yet).

Number 1 above (and/or Greenify) is the correct solution, I just need to root it first. Hard to do on someone else's phone though... but I hate that he so hates his first Android Experience on the N5 (largely due to the bad battery, and also do to the fact he is scared to root it or even install a custom launcher).

Anyway, thanks for the help (and PM me if you have something to say that is not battery-life related... I'm not trying to thread-hijack)

Well... First read everything

Try to install CWM or philz touch recovery meniu. Then when you there, format everything including data, system etc... But don't format SD card, becouse it doesn't change anything.... than try to flash your phone via odin using 3.09 version (I used it - I succeed) using pit file also from HERE (at the bottom pit files, odin, everything you need to download...)

Talking about format data, system etc... am not sure if it not brick your phone, becouse I never tryed, but therefore Odin installs everything for you, so... Need experienced XDAers to appear in this thread and confirm if it's ok...
