HTC One Max - User Reviews

  • I have Htc one max from 2014 May up to know, that's perfect, still working well! battery life is incredible, impact resistance, powerful processing with nowadays apps

  • agreed.htc one max was and is still the best in htc's history with all the bells and whistles no matter how old it is getting.

  • Simply the best smart phone HTC have made when comes to durability battery life and screen size, 2013 to 2018 and still going, we need a remake with the latest OS, Lets go HTC!!!!

  • 4mp doesnt mean poor 4mp with ultra pixel Bigger pixel So when u take picture clear ajd perfect

  • A tablet with the ability to phone call and send SMS messages. Okay.

  • We want more features and updates

  • This one old model. No update android m. Htc m8 is better.

  • My phone has occurring some error as "Unfortunately,YouTube has stopped.this massage is repeating & cannot do any transaction.so do you have any idea about this? your idea/thought is highly appreciate....

  • The easiest solution is to give it back. Poor phone altogether with under-par reliability.

  • recently i buy htc one max taiwan, but i annt use the hotspot when i try to switch its switch off also inside my room network very bad, please any one can suggest me

  • amazing phone ! kindly assist: after 3+ yrs of perfect functioning its now overheating and charge draining ? any ideas for solution plz.

  • Is this phone 4g supportive in India I'm not getting 4g connectivity

  • I have recently bought one at a bargain price and I have to say that I absolutely love everything about it. The size, the camera, the speakers, the HD quality, the quickness and response ... very,very happy. As for the fingerprint scanner I had some issues in the beginning but I rescanned my fingerprint and it works quite well. Updated to Android 5.0.2 and HTC Sense 6.0. I do not need more.

  • This one is better than One M8 and never failed me. The only minus is that it only has a quad-core 1.7GHz processor

  • :) Great . Thank you for all your support

  • Good bye to the HTC ONE MAX forum, I have upgraded to the HTC U Ultra

  • Is J7 prime or Huawei 6X a better device than HTC one max?

  • It probably doesn't support the 3G network band for your country Google your network 3G band and the one supported by the phone to see if they are compatible.

  • guys please help me out,my HTC one max is working greatly but d problem is when I switch d network to 3g mode,it would not work just load for a while saying finding network but it wunt find any network n direct u back to 2g mode(GSM), any ideas please

  • its not in the class of a HTC 10 or a S7 but it's not bad a basic point and shoot.

  • please any one tell me about his camera is this is 4 Mega Pixle ? is poor ?

  • it could be a hardware fault. the power button is notorious for causing random restarts in this model

  • in mobile data>network mode you should see the option for 2g/3g/4g auto. if you don't, you may have a modified ROM installed or a fake HTC ONE MAX.

  • Guys, Any idea how to enable/activate 4g lte in htc one max? There is no 4g lte option on my phone settings->mobile data->network mode.

  • I'm facing the same problem my one max keeps restarting over and over (like every 10 minutes)!!!!! did anyone find a solution ?

  • there is no need to put it in fast boot mode your self. if the drivers are installed correctly on your PC, when you run the ROM and it checks your phone, it will auto power down and reboot your phone in the needed mode. But the first part is for the PC to correctly see your phone. turn on (normal) and have it unlocked. see if the htc sync manager will see it. if not, try turning on USB debugging mode in developer options of your phone, and see if that helps. only when the sync manager can see the phone will the downloaded ROM also see the phone.

  • I'm using windows 10 Home 64 bit. I have an htc sync manager. i connect my htc phone in fastboot mode, the htc sync manager will then open but it says, no device detected. (i guess because the phone is in fastboot mode?)

  • what version of windows are you running on your PC? do you have HTC Sync Manager installed on your PC? if yes, when you connect your phone and it is on, dose the sync manager see your phone?

  • Yes, it really is strange. I'm not doing any recovery of apps after factory reset. I think we are on the same page. I actually downloaded the RUU firmware on the htc page. tried to connect my htc phone in fastboot mode then run the RUU firmware, unfortunately after i click the 'agree with terms and conditions', the install wizard is not appearing. T_T

  • It's strange that it is not factory resetting form recovery mode. you sure its not resetting and you are picking restore from backup when the phone starts? if you are not doing that, the only other thing i would try if i was you........ would be to manually flash the ROM from a PC using the factory unlocked developer ROM available for download on HTC USA page.

  • Yes, I did try to 'wipe cache partition' before proceeding in factory reset. When the phone boots up, all my user settings, apps and data are still there. meaning, factory reset is not working. i even try to uninstall all the apps using the safe mode, unfortunately, it still restarts.. huhu..

  • and you didn't forget to "wipe the cache" before in recovery mode, before you did the factory reset? Are you using the restore backup after the reset? if you are, you may want to skip that and manually install your apps after the rest. using the phone a bit after each app install, till you find the app that a causing the problem. after a clean cache and a factory reset with no extra apps installed. it's not rebooting, would mean the problem is being caused by one of your apps.

  • thank you for the response Anthony. I tried to do what exactly you told me, however, it didn't work. My phone is not stuck in boot loop, the scenario is, it will open completely, i can navigate on it for like one minute or less after it completely opens and then it will shut off and restart. tried to factory reset as you mentioned but still the phone did not start as brand new.. same as ever, it feels like the factory reset mode in recovery mode did not functioning..

  • when the phone is off. 1. hold "volume down" and press power. 2. let go the "volume down" when you see the screen with the 3 skateboard androids. 3. use volume keys to move to "recover" and press the "power" key. the phone should reboot in Android system recovery mode. 4. use the volume keys to go to "wipe cache partition" and press power. 5. then go to "wipe data/factory reset" and press power. 6. then go to "reboot system now" and press power. The phone should start like a new phone now. some times corrupted files in the cache get loaded after a factory reset, that causes a boot-loop. That is why you should wipe the cache partition then do the factory reset.

  • my htc one max is dead.. :'( two days ago it just keeps on restarting. i tried to restore to factory settings and wipe out my data completely via hard reset but it seems that it did not wipe my data, nothing happens in shot when i tried to delete my data. i don't know what to do.. any idea guys?

  • do like i did when i could not find a worthy replacement. repair you old one Max the LCD with touch digitizer & frame is available on amazon.

  • My ex-girlfriend gave me my one max on the new year of 2014 and I continued to use it until I dropped it and cracked the screen 3 months ago. I've been looking for a similar size device with front facing stereo speakers and dual sim with dedicated memory card slot. I couldn't find anything which will do the same. There is simply nothing to achieve the same. It's camera was crap but it's ok. I was almost going to buy an ASUS ZF3 Deluxe but I noticed that it has no noise killing by dedicated mic or stereo sound recording, neither stereo speakers. Pissed me off. Now I want to ask a question to the research and development guys in HTC, would you like to listen to your stupid marketing people and their statistical studies or instead the fans of HTC? The last one was my 5th HTC and I love the brand. Why do you ruin good things? I mean look at the device One Max; all you need to do is upgrading the technology and to put a few more things like waterproof, etc. If you have just upgraded the cam sensor, chip-set and processor, One Max is a great device that there is nothing to replace it now. But you just spend/ waste your research and development budget to create One M9 / M9 Plus, M10 and other mambo jumbo, the end result is a disappointment. Why are you ruining the good things that you already have? I'm using the company phone which is a Samsung and still looking for a smartphone. I do not care about how much will it coast, all I need is a proper smartphone which will do the job properly. I hope you guys will change your mindset and create a proper phablet size smart device with proper sound! Or your employer will lose his market share big time, then it will come to employements. Whoever's idea was to create HTC One Max, is a true genius. But we need the same genius, because it was long time ago and you have nothing to replace it.

  • Yes, it does. You will have to lock the bootloader again. I did it with mine. Running on a custom rom and the finger print sensor was working. Findout how in youtube videos or developer forums.

  • That's true. LED notification is also missing in A9 Pro.

  • I don't think any one that enjoys using Sense U.I. will ever be happy with touchwizz U.I.

  • How about Galaxy A9 Pro ? Is that a good alternative ?

  • Please HTC open your eyes andy your minds to produce same onem max size with a high quality. Many Brands will make you lose the market. Need HTC one max 6GBR 64G dual Sim memory card slot Radio.inferred,eye sensor. [email protected]

  • How to update HTC One Max to Android 6?

  • this is a now discontinued phone and is very difficult to find "new factory unlocked" some times it pops up on Amazon.com for about $320US

  • Just want to Know the price please??

  • Fingerprint sensor is not working on a custom rom...

  • I had xiaomi MI MAX after HTC one max...but sound on htc is too god that am back to ONE MAX:)

  • There seems to be a method to root this phone and keep the boot loader saying “locked” & S-ON Recently bought a next HTC ONE MAX on Amazon to replace my damaged ONE MAX that is no longer under warranty. It was supposed to be NEW, factory unlocked. It came sealed and looked new, but it was rooted & had a ROM with no option in settings to check for updates. And yes the fingerprint scanner was still working. But because my banking app would not work on a rooted phone. I had to undo it using the official HTC ONE MAX Unlocked/Developer Edition ROM Update 9.8.2015 available for download on the HTC USA site.

  • Bro, does finger print sensor working on your custom rom? i'm thinking of rooting my phone and flash a custom rom

  • I've used a couple HTC One Max...I often found myself coming back to it after using some new HTC phones. I guess it's because it's bigger and the boomsound bombs all sound mehn. I'm using sense 7 I got my rooted with m9 based rom. And now the camera can compete with S7....If you doubt me go down load Vernon HTC sense7 custom.... Yes I do have a question for you guys....higher dpi(ppi) or lower which is better for brighter screen like m9 brightness?

  • Guys if you wanted to change the screen dpi of htc one max without root, follow the steps below. Before you start, please ensure you have a working adb tool install on your PC and you have driver install on your PC. refer here if you don't This can only be done thru the PC Original the HTC One max density is 373. This guide will help to change to density 320 (or any size, you can do a trial many times and test your screen, if you are satisfied then stick to it, if not, you can revert back to 373) screen resolution remain on 1920x1080. Step by Step 1) pls enable the developer mode on your HTC One Max 2) check the USB debugging on the developer option 3) plug in the USB and connect your phone to the PC 4) press on the PC " window" key + "X" key and select command prompt (admin) 5) in the command prompt , put in text adb after C:\windows\system32> 6) your phone share pop up message to authorize the usb debugging, select YES. 7) If step 5 & 6 don't come up any long message on the window command prompt, this mean you did not install properly the adb tool in your pc. (refer above to redo) 8) at this step , mean adb is done properly and go back to command prompt in the window 9) enter text "adb shell wm density 320" after the C:\windows\system32>. it look like this C:\windows\system32>adb shell wm density 320 and press enter key on PC 10) Now your phone have change to screen density 320. everything will look smaller now. 11) you need to re-start the HTC One max phone and all screen size will completely change to new density 320. 12) you are done. now you can re-arrange your phone icon and have a fresh look !! How to go back to original screen density 1) repeat the step 1 , 2, 3, 4 & 5. 2) key in C:\windows\system32>adb shell wm density 480 and press enter on pc 3) restart your phone then you will go back to original screen resolution its fun to try though. :) enjoy

  • Not bad actually, had Mine for 2 years+ now, I don't mind it however I'd say it's camera is not one of it's strong points, pretty good for it's time hwoever now most decent smart phones have a better camera

  • See my 5 sample photos when i just got the phone a year+ ago.

  • Pls how is the camera quality...plan on getting one dix week

  • ..plus no update available for 8160 T6UHL. Stuck in Jelly Bean

  • NEVER buy T6UHL (8160). This device has persistent GPS bug. You can NEVER use any offline GPS apps. There has been so many complaints regarding this issue but no solution from HTC.

  • The one max now supports Freestyle Layout and themes thanks to the latest sense update. but still not sense 7

  • pull down your notification bar tap on "settings" tap on "storage" tap on "mount SD Card" or you may have to tap on "Format SD card" depending on its condition

  • Can anybody help me why I insert micro SD card but check at the file manager state SD card not mounted?

  • yes is did. In the post you replied to, i said i bought a new back camera on Amazon.com for $20US and took my phone to a repair shop in my area to have them change the camera. it's not a hard replacement if you have the tri-tip screw driver to open the phone. As for the speaker grill.... its glued on to the body of the phone. you can buy the gill that comes with the glue tape already on it. or you can go to a repair shop and see it they can stick back the grill you have. or you could do like me and buy the back cover/faceplate/middle chassis replacement kit for about $80US on Amazon.com they have the RED & the BLACK give your phone that brand new look again.

  • I have the same issue. Did you find a solution for this at all? I also have an issue with the plastic speaker mesh coming away from the phone.

  • Can I replaced my one max with Xiaomi Mi Max 6.44" 4850mAh Mobile Phone?

  • my back camera started making a buzzing noise and refuse to lock focus on anything. you would also hear the camera buzzing if you use a flash light app. the front camera worked just find. doing a factory reset did not fix the problem with the main camera. turns out that the camera module went bad. Got a new one on Amazon for $20US and had a phone repair guy in the mall change it in less than an hour. everything is back to normal now. the seller was repairstore(e-Packet to United States)

  • If HTC release a 10 with the MAX size it would definitely be my next phone.

  • I hope it would be having a slim profile with same battery capacity

  • It doesn't work with me sunddenly

  • Am I the only HTC ONE MAX user that wants a 6" screen HTC 10? (a MAX version)

  • 4MP Ultra, the good spec.

  • I have no clue, as i never had to try other roms to get better performance as i did with my SIII. all my ROM updates on this phone has been OTA.

  • Is there any website for downloading official Htc roms besides htcdev ? Thank you

  • Is there any website for downloading official HTC rom besides htcdev ?

  • i received the nba 2k16 via share it,, but as soon as i open it,, it work out..?? it wont play... pls help me with this.. your help will be much appreciated...

  • I'm just like you. and if the HTC 10 has no boom sound front facing speakers, like i see in the renders. i'll be holding on to My ONE MAX for yet an other year.

  • Still have htc one max since 2014. The best phone ever

  • Yes it is. I have personally installed and played the game. Though the game sucks !

  • Is it possible to play nba 2k16 in Htc One max???? Pls reply

  • for me it is just wonderful with that 4mp camera, Big Up HTC makers

  • I'm still wishing for a ONE MAX II more RAM, faster CPU, latest SENSE UI, 12 ultra pixel camera & wireless charging. the rest can remain exactly the way it is because this is a wonderful big phone. Come on HTC, show the people that like big screen phones some love.

  • Yes.. I agree 100% with you. Please HTC don't lose more market now...We believe that HTC sense compatibility with android is just super. We are seeking for upgrade for ONE MAX.

  • HTC should provide software upgrade for ONE MAX. It should have Android 6.0 and Sense 7 by now. Very disappointed with HTC.

  • Dear Hassan, I already got lollipop and sense 6.0 one month before here in Pakistan. Its running butter smooth, no flaw, zero lag very good battery life.By the way, have you logo based mobile ? Regarding manual updating various methods are on web but I never tried. My software info : Android Version: 5.0.2 HTC Sense version: 6.0 Software No: 4.14.111.11 I am very satisfied with the device. Good Bye to apple and Samsung. Good welcome to HTC and Blackberry.

  • I'm in Pakistan and no lollipop update on htc one max yet. Has anyone tried manual update in such a case?

  • Guys, at the least, does anyone knows the difference between G Sensor and Gyro in the Max?

  • I have note 5..but I bought new HTC one max.. I love the design,build quality,sounds,camera,big screen etc..no issue at all..one of the best phone of HTC..

  • After using Samsung and Apple I shifted to HTC again. I got one max, Its sense 6.0 with 5.0 lollipop. Its amazing experience. A top class user interface, a neat and clean , polished compatibility of sense with lollipop. HTC One max is so sophisticated cell phone, Its amazing fast and no delay. I am satisfied more than Apple iPhone 6s plus. HTC is so super.

  • maybe no one knows the answer. both sensor settings look the same and i have never had a problem which i had to go in and calibrate. but just for you i did and both did its thing and said "OK" after.

  • Nobody seems to respond when i seek some solutions :-(.............:-)

  • Hi Guys, When I try and see the 360 degree virtual videos, the videos dont seem to move when I move the phone, which happens in my nephews Mi3i phone. I sensed that my gyro may not be working or is not callibrated. In the settings- Display, gestures and buttons, when I scroll down, there are settings for G Sensor and Gyro calibration. Am not sure of the difference between the two. However, the Gyro sensor calibration was successful. However when i try and do the Gyro calibration, inspite of trying some 20 times, I am unable to. Any reason why the calibration is not working? Please help.

  • I'm really lucky enough that you already experienced this problem. I was thinking to re-format my phone if no solution will occur. You saved me from doing that. :) Well maybe you're right, this is an isolated case for some htc one owner. anyhow, thanks again, hope this will help other htc one max users that will encounter the same problem.

  • No problem, i just knew it when my first htc one m7 had lollipop cant play mkv file, and had restarting, i recently change to one max and in that time had kitkat and has no problem until upgrade to lollipop and this problem occure, i dont know the problem from lollipop bug or htc one bug, because not every htc lollipop had that problem, only a few like us. That the only solution i had.

  • Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks for the update.

  • Hi Kimsam.. your suggestion works.. i just removed the .mkv files on my phone then my gallery starts working normally. :) thank you very much.

  • Hi Kimsang, thank you for your suggestion, i will try to do this and see this will resolve my issue. as you mentioned, i have many .mkv files on my device. will let you guys know if this will work. thanks again.

  • thanks for the response anthony. already did that but same things happen. after i uninstalled the update, i checked my gallery but still no luck. my phone keeps on restarting when i access the gallery. i will try the suggestion of the first responder and will let you guys know if it will work.

  • the service pack may not have installed properly, due to a bad download. (it can happen) just go in the playstore app>menu>My apps & games>Installed find the "HTC Service Pace" in the "Up to date" section pick it and un-install it. once you gallery is working again. you can download and install the service pack again. but do it on a stable internet connection.

  • Just group your mkv video in one folder and add .nomedia in it so gallery never scan them, that the cause for restart. So how do you whatch you mkv video? Just use 3rd party example mx player that had recognize .nomedia file (unticked it) in setting. Cmiiw.

  • hello guys.. uhm, my htc one max is more than two years old now and it is working fine until i update the htc service pack from playstore. my htc one max automatically restarts when i access the default gallery app. when i tried to download a 3rd party gallery app, same thing happens when im accessing it. now the only way to view my pics is by going through the camera app and by ticking the preview at the lower right corner of the screen. any solution on this? thanks in advance

  • HEY iam from ALEX i got HTC One Max and my mine camra not working well im trying to change it but cant found any where even the HTC main serves Please solve this problem coz i love my phone so much ...

  • This a great phone if you buy it new. It's very difficult to reassemble so there is a very high chance that a lot of things are not going to be properly assembled with one that was refurbished.

  • My phone is refurbished 6 months ago. Battery has dropped 45% in 4 hours barely using. Speakers rattle. This is my 4th phone replacement in 2 years. I would recommend this phone to nobody.

  • My phone is refurbished 6 months ago. Battery has dropped 45% in 4 hours barely using. Speakers rattle. This is my 4th phone replacement in 2 years. I would recommend this phone to nobody.

  • I recently purchased a HTC one max from US. Am from India. I see that I am unable to upgrade through phone, as it says only for CDMA, whereas its GSM in India. Could someone guide me to the latest update (Lollipop) portal for the upgrade manually? thanks

  • I have HTC one max his screen broken but working good. I am in Qatar all qatar trying for repless his screen not fiend. Means service problem and spare parts not in market.If have service or parts too much high price.

  • I always get corrupt versions of HTC software updates and are always blocked before installation. How do I get this sorted?

  • Anyone have thoughts on the best stylus for the MAX? I've tried the HTC branded one. It's not bad but is very limited when it invariably comes to the question about phones / tablets it can be used with. There are phones in its own product line that it won't work with. Any opinions on the powered devices like the Musemee Notier or Adonit Jot? Thanks! KJB

  • @ HTC max user I got that update 3 days ago. there is no visual difference in the phone.

  • Did anyone receive 4.14 (160.34 MB) system update ?

  • All manufacturers of Android phones stop Android updates after 2 years (this is a 2 year old phone that got 3 android version updates)and for Samsung it's more like 1 1/2 years. It has nothing to do with if you have the right spec or not. It has to do with how long manufacturers have agreed to give support for a model from its lunch date. This is done before hand. so your next phone better be an iPhone if you want more than 2 years from lunch date. Because that is the benchmark for android phone manufacturers

  • HTC sucks! Not more update with Android 6 for this phone even it was a high end and expensive device. All my hard earned money goes into drain. My next phone will never be HTC.

  • No. Both Cameras work great.

  • Any one having a problem with the front cam ?

  • Don't buy this phone again because it's old. Every other brands have newer and better phones

  • Does anyone know of any place i can get this phone cheap and with Ireland bands?

  • Time to replace battery

  • Don't panic that is normal. The % you see next to each item is what % of used power that item used. It is not a % of the total battery. E.g. After a full charge and the usages history start over... I used YouTube and the file manager. Total battery dropped to 98% Of the 2% used, usage history showed that 80% of it was used by YouTube and the next 20% was used by the file manager (that adds up to 100% of the 2% used) Later in the day when the battery drops to 87% 51% internet 12% YouTube 6% file manager 17% android system 7% WiFi 6% cell standby That accounts for 96% of the 13% battery usage. The missing 4% most likely are split up among so many apps and services that each would get less than 1% so they are not shown. Notice that YouTube went from 80% to 12% So your standby being high only means nothing but standby has used power. It will drop as you start to use the phone. Hope I explained it in a way you can understand.

  • My one max most of the battery dump on cell standby ,,why ,,,???? Showing cell radio Active ,,,, ans me give solution

  • Sorry. Not even HTC online Theme maker pro can edit the colour of that right now.

  • Any quick fixes for the white text on black background in the Quick Settings menu?

  • Yes it works with USB On The Go.

  • is htc one max OTG ready???

  • Be sure it has not been rooted. You'll know by checking the finger print scanner. It's not going to work if the phone is rooted.

  • oh sorry, its 1.5 years not 1.5 months

  • Greetings. I am planning to buy a second hand HTC ONE MAX which have been used for 1.5 months. Which of the things I should check or be aware of before I buy the phone?

  • Did you root your phone?

  • I successfully rooted my max with kingroot 4.5 but anytime I restarts my phone the root access will go. Anyone know the solution to this?

  • If you rooted your phone then the finger print sensor has been deactivated for security reasons. To avoid theft of your biometrics information stored on the phone, which is no longer protected when you root the phone.

  • my HTC One Max finger prints is not working... please help me

  • I successfully rooted my max with kingroot 4.5 but anytime I restarts my phone the root access will go. Anyone know the solution to this?

  • Follow up to post below thanks to the updated HTC Sence Home, you can now log into themes.htc.com and make your own themes using. maker pro

  • So I downloaded the new Sense Home update 7.20.599309 for the one max and it changed my blink feed & app drawer colour, I had set with the black theme to blue. (I am still using the black theme) does anyone know how to change the blink feed colour in this new version?

  • There is no tint issue in the one max see my sample photos postimg.org/gallery/a39ca3o6/ you should also know that the M7 only have the tint problem in the older batch of phones. the camera module was change after many complaints, so not all M7 have that problem. if you had one with the tint problem, you could have sent it to HTC to have the camera module changed.

  • no there is no photo tint issue in the one max you can take a look at my sample photos postimg.org/gallery/a39ca3o6/ you should also know that tint problem in the m7 is only found in the early batch of phones. The camera module was changed in the later batches. and if you had one with the tint problem you could have sent your phone to HTC to have the camera module replaced.

  • is one max have the pink or purple tint camera issue too like one M7?

  • I'm sorry, I spoke too soon. there is no widget on that update. we have the same update. :)

  • I got one lock screen update and it made my lock screen look like that of the m9. Thats it. How many lock screen updates did you get?

  • There is an update in the playstore for htc lockscreen specifically for htc one max which enable the widget display. Just installed mine.

  • I want added new language for my phone but I cant? can you help me? Persian

  • If you wipe your cache partition first or do a factory rest after, NO.

  • hii guys, could anyone plss ans me is there any battery draining issue after update to Lollypop??

  • please anyone know a one click rooting method that can root this phone?

  • If I talk about dev edition 5.13.1540.7 Can I upload a backup to me!

  • Was the lock screen widgets removed from the lollipop update? I can't find it in security settings

  • I'm from the Philippines as well, Ponjap.

  • You only need turn S-OFF if you are installing a Custom ROM or a official one max ROM that is not made for your model #. and if you don't know what you are doing you can brick your phone. If I'm not mistaken, didn't you F-Up your phone just this week? Get in contact with HTC or T-Mobile online and sort your shit out. And don't do more things you know nothing about.

  • As I have not S-off my phone as yet, I will not give a link to a download I have not tested my self. What you are looking for can be found on the xda forum. S-off means security off. And as far as I know, your finger print scanner will no longer work after you do it.

  • Boss I try to flash my rom but the s is on can you send me link where I can download HTC one max s on/off Tmobile file plzz

  • which update where you doing? the very first kitkat? what screen is it stuck on? was it an over the air update? the phone was suppose to restart several times when updating, did you interrupt by pressing power? i don't know you so what's app is out of the question. ask questions here, i will reply here. you can get my attention on [email protected]

  • You got stuck too? Didn't you say you were not in a hurry to upgrade and was going to stay on jelly bean?

  • Thank you

  • Yes. A phone icon appears onscreen with a red triangle in it. That is where i also got stuck.

  • The link below has the information to do a manual PC ROM update. But the ROM available there for download may not be the correct one for your phone. That is why you need to contact HTC to get the correct download.

  • i'm really sorry you didn't clear your cache before you did that update. the software on your ROM chip seems to be corrupted now. you are going to have to manually flash you ROM from a PC. contact HTC live chat on-line. and explain in detail what happened. helpfully you will get the instructions to re-flash the ROM ship. for now just don't let the phone battery die.

  • Is system update Android 5.0 HTC send to me to update it and I download so the time am installing it and the phone goes off. That's all nd now the phone is not working

  • was this a OTA update you were doing or did you try to manually flash your ROM?

  • I hv done it but still the phone is not working

  • ok, you saw it. but did you do it? just looking at it is not going to do anything. :D by the way, this is not a touch screen menu. use the volume keys to navigate. and press the power key as "ENTER"

  • I saw wipe cache partition Wipe data/factory reset And reboot system now

  • I saw wipe cache partition Wipe data/factory reset And reboot system now what next...?

  • I saw wipe cache partition Wipe data/factory reset And reboot system now what next...?

  • i will assume you mean "wipe data/factory reset" but you didn't mention "wipe cache partition" first that is very important. it is so important for the mess you are in now i would say...... "wipe cache partition">"wipe data/factory reset">"wipe cache partition" again, then "reboot system now" let me know how it goes.

  • I saw what you told me earlier wide data and stuff so what should I do next

  • on that screen when you press and hold the volume up and quick press the power key (don't hold the power key for any length of time) nothing happens?

  • Triangle and a ..!..

  • where did you get stuck?

  • follow up I forgot this because i'm not seeing it in lollipop any more, but...... If by chance you are on a screen that shows a HTC ONE MAX with the RED triangle and a "!" in it. you are already past the "Recovery" Step of my instructions. Now you will have to hold the "volume up" key and quick press the power key (not press and hold). this should take you to the "Android system recovery" part of the instructions.

  • I have done that but still it doesn't work

  • I have done that but still it doesn't work

  • when the phone is off hold down volume & the power key till the phone starts. you should see a white menu with coloured writing. use the volume keys to navigate to "RECOVERY" Press the "Power key" to enter The phone should reboot into Android system Recovery. use the volume keys to navigate to "wipe cache partition" and power key to enter. then do the same for "wipe data/factory reset" Then the same for "reboot system Now" if you get stuck any where. get me know where and what you see.

  • Yes I don't where I will find bootloader plz tell me

  • ok you are in a boot loop. this is cause with old data in your cache partition is conflicting with drivers in the new ROM. i have said this many times before, ALWAYS clear your cache partition just before you do a ROM update. go to your boot-loader and wipe the cache partition, factory reset from right in there after. once the ROM was successfully flashed (meaning, you saw the progress bar go all the way up before your booting problem started) your should have no more conflict and the phone will start. on the downside because you did't wipe the cache before the update you are going to lose everything you have stored on internal storage. if you don't know how to get into the bootloader just ask.

  • If I on the phone it keep restarting it self and some triangle sign apear on the screen the battery is 98 percent

  • i am trying to determine if the power button is doing anything when you press it, or is it totally dead?(noting is happening when you press power) when you plug it in is it showing how much charge you have?

  • it is not turning on at all, or is it turning on but keeps restating? what % battery power did you have?

  • I was updating the system and the phone goes off so now the phone is not working. Plz help

  • I was updating the system and the phone goes off so now the phone is not working. Plz help

  • if you really want help , Start by giving alot more details about what happened to it(what's wrong with it) And what you did before that happened.

  • My HTC one max Is rendered inoperable! what should I do.?

  • You are welcome

  • Ok. Very well understood. Anyway, i'm not in a hurry to update my OS. I'm cool with the good old jellybean (4.3) and sense 5.5 runnng on my one max. I've learnt a couple of things from you this past couple of days and i really apprecate it. It's good to know that people lke you are out there to help people lke us. Thanks man

  • follow up.... in KitKat EXT SD... To move a pictures/ videos you have to use the gallery app to move music you have to use the music player to set downloads to go to the EXT SD you have to set it in the download app and use the download app to delete it if you need to. basically any write action to the EXT SD outside of an app/android / data folder you would have to find a HTC ROM app to do it or connect to a PC and use file explorer on the PC to make the changes. it's an OS security thing, not a bug. and the only way to undo it is to root your phone and grant apps full access. festively leaving your phone open to attacks.

  • That is correct. Both in kitkat and lollipop on any phone (not just HTC) 3rd party apps are restricted from writing/editing and deleting files from the EXT SD card. it a security thing google implemented, where all 3rd part apps must make their own data storage folder inside the EXT SD/Android/data folder if they want to save files to the EXT SD. and only the 3rd party app that made the folder can edit the data in it, on other 3rd party app can. that was google's way of preventing malicious apps you download from messing with your files on the EXT SD. apps that come with the ROM still have full write access. that is why it is so important that the ONE MAX has a file manager that comes as part of the ROM in Lollipop. (something that is missing in Kitkat.)

  • So by your previous comments, can i assume that kitkiat on the one max doesnt allow write access to the Ext. SD card even if you use a third party file manager app like ES file manager?

  • Do u mean to say that in lollipop, even if i use a third party file manager app like es file manager, i cant have write access to the ext. sd card?

  • you should know that the lollipop on the one max is 5.0.2, not the 5.0 that are on phones that got lollipop last year or 5.0.1 that the M8 got earlier this year. it has the 3rd release of lollipop so please don't read about bugs on other phones and think the ONE MAX will have the same bugs. it's not running the same version of lollipop.

  • things I have seen added in lollipop on the one max that i didn't know was there from reading reviews..... 1. the volume control got a Priority mode added to it. which has toggels in its settings for events, calls messages and from settings/sound & notifications/interruptions/app notifications you can add individual apps to the bypass list. 2. after being on the charger for some time. the lock screen notification for charging not only tells you your % but it also tells you how must time is left to get a full charge. 3. there are more options for lock screen notifications in sound & notification 4. the app switcher has to modes you can pick from. Card view & Grid view (grid view now has multiple pages.) if anyone found any more, i would like to know about them, as the FAQ tab in the Tips & help app is not updated to Android 5.0.2 as yet

  • follow up. 1. if you are still on jelly bean and want to keep your 100% freedom of app & file manager write access to the EXT SD card (DON'T update..... stay on jelly bean) 2. if you can live with the limited write access to the EXT SD card by apps and full write access from the NEW default file manager. by all means upgrade to lollipop. 3. kitkat is the lamest version of android the ONE MAX has had so far. (not that it was buggy, just that the new security restriction really limited the full potential of this phone.)

  • Yes it is. I have gone from 3.20.708.3 kitkat to 4.13.708.8 lollipop

  • Sense 6 update comes with the kitkat update. The issue I had with the kitkat update is it removed write access to the external SD card by download file managers. Only apps that have ext SD write in there settings could write to the EXT SD. Eg. Voice recorder, camera, internet download, email, sms, gallery. With the introduction of lollipop to the ONE MAX there is now a default HTC file manager which with give you full write access to the ext SD once again. Note: 1. you will not get the lollipop update notification until you update to kitkat. 2.Some models get 2 kitkat updates. First with sense 5.5 then with sense 6.

  • For those of you that don't like the rollerdex app switcher in lollipop, you can go back to the tiles (and there are multiple pages for app switchin) When in the app switcher just tap on menu, settings. An you will see the layout options in there.

  • I'm using an htc one max which came unlocked on telstra (Australia), n it came running da default android os n htc sense (jelly bean 4.3, sense 5.5). I usually get a kitkat (4.4.2), software number 2.61.841.1 update but reluctant to download since i've read about the many problems faced by people who updated to that version. I have a question 4 u though, which version of android came with htc sense 6 for the one max? Thanks.

  • Is software number 4.13.708.8 Hongkong model ?

  • The 3g only, 2g only, 2g/3g auto and 2g/3g/4g auto network modes are available .The software number is 4.13.708.8

  • congrats on ur lollipop update. I followed again ur previous step by step instruction on how to clean the cache partition before I installed my update that is why I have no problem encountering on my lollipop.

  • No luck when I tried to uninstall and install the app. lets hope that on the next update, it will be fixed.

  • For those of you that don't like the rollerdex app switcher in lollipop, you can go back to the tiles (and there are multiple pages for app switchin) When in the app switcher just tap on menu, settings. An you will see the layout options in there.

  • Dude you really know how to wipe your cache partition? Because I'm thinking you don't. Let me the steps you did to do it and I'll see where you are going wrong. I have lollipop now and I have the 2G only option. Software # 4.13.708.8

  • I quickly updated to lollipop because I wanted to get back the ability to save any file type to my SD card using the file manager. A function I lost with the kitkat upgrade. I'm not a gamer so I have nothing to loose. As for the people with game problems, they should report it to the game developer so the lollipop issues could be fixed in a newer version of that app.

  • How come you still have sence 5.5? Didn't all one max get sence 6 over a year now?

  • Why are most people still in a hurry to update to lollipop when they can still enjoy the fluidity of kitkat atop sense 5.5? In my humble opinion, i think lollipop for the one max is still in it's infancy, therefore i'd rather wait to avoid all this issues been raised by those who've updated.

  • I already updated my phone to lollipop however when i try to play nba 2014, i cant play it anymore and it says that nba 2014 stop, i uninstall it and install it again, but still it has the same scenario.. pls help me in this one..

  • My Hong Kong model now has lollipop for OTA download. Will install it later when I get home.

  • I Got The COC app Rendering Problem

  • No you are not the only one I have the Hong Kong Model and until now I didn't get the Lollipop Update,hope we get it soon

  • I have learned the hard way..... it's not just the charger but the USB cable/ micro USB head on the cable itself that has a lot to play with how fast this phone will charge. I too use a 2A charger and got different results with different cables. the shortest time being with the HTC OEM cable for the HTC ONE, EVO, X and believe it or not, all it takes to get a drop in charge speed is for the metal in the head to get pinched just a little. and you have to go out and buy a new cable.

  • this phone takes 4 hours to charge from 0-100% If I use the phone while I charge, then it up to 6 hours to get filled despite i use 2A charger. My wife's Galaxy Note 2 which has almost thesame capacity battery as this phone takes just about 2 and half hours to get filled. Is something wrong with my phone?

  • am i the only one in here with the Hong Kong model?

  • i have a problem opening my gallery app after upgrading my OS to lollipop, it become logy and after while the phone will restart, what should i do? :(

  • guys, do you have a problem in opening the gallery app?

  • You're welcome bro.. No my software no. Isn't the same as yours.. It's 4.13.1540.7

  • Thanks for backing me up bro. Anyhow, what is the software number of your device? is it the same as mine?

  • I have the same options as you, probably the other guy has a kind of problem

  • Dude, I am very well aware of what i'm talking about. There is a '2G only' option on my device. The list of options available are '3G only', '2G only', '2G/3G' auto and '2G/3G/4G auto'. and by the way.. my software no. is 4.13.707.7. go check yours, maybe we have a different software version after all. lol

  • has anyone tested the battery

  • Who told you 'gsm only' is still there. Before and after the update I did factory reset and wipe cache partition. The only options available under network settings are 3g only 2g/3g auto 2g/3g/4g auto No more 2g only or gsm only. Confirm what people are saying first before you assume it's still there. Or maybe you have not received the update yet. I was only able able to use code to get away out.

  • I'm taking back what i said below. lol run the update again and now it is installing the 631.06mb update with sense 6 i was thinking it what just download the latest ROM but apparently it has to download and install each rom until it is fully up to date.

  • i am in your shoes now. I just got a next one for my wife in the mail and to my disappointment it is t-mobile. it updated to Android 4.4.2 but still has Sense 5.5 what the hell is that? my Hong Kong model is 4.4.2 with Sense 6

  • if you are missing things that other users are saying are still there, you should go to your boot loader and wipe your cache partition and do a factory reset. A clean install of lollipop will solve your problems.

  • it was awesome.. I mean the lollipop update.. and finally the default file manager from HTC is included. also there are more options on the camera app like 'split capture' and 'photo booth'. only downside is that, my COC app got some problem in graphic rendering, sometimes it gets distorted after the update. other apps is working fine.. I will try to uninstall and install the COC.

  • dude, it's still there.. just go to settings>mobile data>network mode. you really need to explore first.

  • O, well I'm still waiting on the update so I can't really help look for it. I have the Hong Kong model. Try the 2G-3G OnOff widget in the play store

  • I wanna know how get my Last updated I have htc one max (t-mobile) Im from egypt Plzzz

  • After the update, 'GSM only ' is no longer available under Network settings.

  • Isn't it called "GSM only" under network mode

  • i updated to lollipop and now I lost one of my most important feature. the 2g only in network settings disappeared. I normally set to 2g only because in my house internet is more stable at 2g only than at 3g or 4g. Can anyone tell me how I can set my phone to 2g only network? Or maybe there is a 3rd party app that can do that ?

  • Yey! just got an update for my international version of one max.. im from Philippines! :)

  • what country are your from?

  • I should have asked, from what region is your htc one max belong?

  • Anyone know if I will loose the finger print scanner if I root with OneClickRoot?

  • I've just received the Lollipop update weighing 687.88 MB. Yahooo! Kudos to htc for still bringing the Lollipop update to my almost 2 years old phone.

  • Lollipop 5.0.2

  • Hi, what is your version of htc one max?

  • Lollipop update in Kuwait

  • did you know that HTC is updating the apps on the ROM via the play store now...... look for apps by HTC Corporation for the updates you may be missing. (ONE Gallery) will add google dive, dropbox,facebook & Flicker to the gallery again. (HTC Social plugin-facebook) will add facebook back to blinkfeed. the new TV remote app is (peel smart remote) there is even a zoe app for shearing your zoe.

  • Zoe camera is still there. just in a menu now. just tap on the square with the 4 circles. you will see it in there with Camera, Video, Selfie & Dual Capture.

  • I currently own a HTC One Max through Verizon, but is unlocked. Can I use it through AT&T? I have the Straight Talk BYOP and people are saying it will work but Data is not a definite

  • thanks man.. now I know why, because they first release the OTA update on Taiwan version of one max. can't wait to have it on our international version of one max.

  • I loved this phone I was happy with the live weather screen saver and they zoey technology camera one morning I woke up and both features were gone the zoey technology is gone and now it's a social media thing. It's just a phone now the wow factor is gone. I keep hoping they will bring it back

  • does anyone knows when htc is going to release andriod 5 for australia part ? my build number is 3.23.841

  • What is your software # now?

  • What issue?

  • It came out in Taiwan a couple of days ago. I suggest factory reset for optimal perfromance, and now these babies got a lot more stamina. After 2 days observation, i think the battery last 20% longer than before for my gf and I. A few more bells & whistles... I am still getting use to them. One last thing, now fingerprint scanners works as a default after you set them up. So far,.. One Max is working gracefully despite it's age...

  • The lollipop udate was OTA.Battery life is great and region is Taiwan.

  • is it via OTA update? what country are you from and the version of your htc one max? Thanks,

  • Middle east

  • what region HTC ONE MAX do you have?

  • it was updated to from jelly bean to kitkat. some are now starting to get lollipop. most likely its not going to get "M" because its approaching the 24 month end of android updates mark. but there is always XDA when htc stops support.

  • hasnt effected the battery life ?

  • Got the android 5.0.2 lollipop update for my One max on June-6-2015 and it works great.

  • The software update

  • The software update

  • What issue?

  • HI Gsmarena .After i read about Htc one max i decided to buy it but when i see & read users opinions about the mobile update i get retract . so did htc treat this issue .It is my only issue that i face in this mobile if it is treated so it will be one of the best mobiles ever .

  • hi gsmarena .i am going to buy a new mobile and when i see Htc one max i decided to BUY it but when i see from the users opinion that their is some problems about the update i get retract . so what is the solve of this problem .

  • What version of android you using?

  • i bought this phone and now it restart continuously.when i try to re install software to phone it ask password to continue it.but what is that password that required to re install software to phone>?

  • did you get 5.0.2 OTA or did you root your phone?

  • hi. ever since i updated my one max to 5.0.2 the speakers which is place down does not work for the ring tone or some other musics!!!

  • It's battery is amazing. I like wide screen and enjoy reading newspaper, surfing net, and watching videos. Processor speed is felt (superv) while operating device for various purposes....

  • can someone please recommend the best camera app for this phone. I mean in terms of quality photo better than the stock camera. Snap Camera hdr has been very good but recent update cause it to crash.

  • can someone please recommend the best camera app for this phone. I mean in terms of quality photo better than the stock camera. Snap Camera hdr has been very good but recent update cause it to crash.

  • I have this phone since 1 year, it's really great phone

  • For those who cannot wait for the OTA update, you may try to install it on your international version of htc one max by following the instructions on the link provided below:

  • Something to smile about a guy on the HTC ONE MAX XDA GROUP has posted pictures of his phone updated to Android 5.0.2 the screen shoots are of the new quick settings the software information screen the home screen when the 923.67mb update was downloading OTA that the build in "File Manager" YES! copy to and delete is back for EXT SD yhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

  • yes it a 4 "ultra" pixels and it has been that for the past 2 years. just like the M7 before it and the M8 that came after it. so what exactly don't you belive? also from what i'm reading, it is a much better camera than what is in the M9 that came out this year. now that is something to be is disbelieve about. LOL

  • i cant belive this phones primary camera is 4mp. seriously

  • Its GSMArena what else do you expect?

  • Really? I think you've made it abundantly obvious where we need to look for LP update info. Repeatedly posting the same thing - and seeing it MULTIPLE times on ONE page is overkill.

  • the Lollipop update is planned for the HTC One Max, however we don't have exact dates yet, do keep an eye here

  • tell you see a date. don't hold your breath. it will not be the first time HTC said something they did not do. A bit of history.... I had a HTC HD2 running (windows mobile 6.5). HTC and Microsoft said it was going t get upgraded to (windows phone 7) THAT NEVER HAPPENED via HTC if you wanted that update you had to get it from XDA. the ONE MAX is 18 months now and HTC focus is on updating the newer phones to sense 7. so it would be miraculous if they pull off a OS update for this phone before a 24 months cut off point for software updates. also keep in mind it has been posted that the HTC ONE mini is not getting the lollipop update.

  • Plug it in and see what % the battery is at. All the time you had it plugged in before It may not of been charging if it was running hot/defective cable/app using more power than charging device is outputting. Or maybe you just turned off the screen and not the phone so the battery still run down.

  • Hello everyone. I put off my phone after fully charging it yesterday. Since then I have tried to switch on my phone to no avail. Does anybody know the cause of this issue and how to solve it. Kindly give me answers.

  • There is no official lollipop update for the one MAX. You have to flash a CyanogenMod if you want lollipop so bad. This phone is now 18 months old a there is no word from HTC about a lollipop update, so there is a good chance that kitkat 4.4.2 would be the last version of android this phone officially gets, as the Android update window is 18-24 months.

  • I'm not updated my one max I'm on old version not show me lollipop in software update

  • Where did you get lollipop for max?

  • Hi Who update 2 lollipop is everything ok? Any problems!

  • update virson

  • Lollipop update

  • Utra megapixel camera Update mobile form htc one max

  • I enjoy using it just the way it is, so I'm not in a hurry to get any lollipop upgrade. Measurement of lag is relative, it all depends on what you are comparing this phone to. (because no matter how fast a phone is, they'll make it faster next year.) It's way faster & smoother than my old SIII. It's also smoother than the S5 that my friend have and using "ok Google" from any screen works must better than S-Voice ever did. Only update I really want is the one the M8 got to add an HTC file explorer as a default app in kit Kat.

  • heyy thanks for ur ans 😃😃 is it nice to use nw ? will it lag ?

  • There is no lollipop update for this phone to date. This phone is currently running Android 4.4.2 with sense 6. There are only rumours of lollipop coming to this phone in 3Q . And you have to take those rumours with a bag of salt.

  • did u all get ur android 5.0 lollipop update ? reply me coz im planning to buy one too

  • Did anybody know when lolipop update will be available for htc one max

  • Thanks

  • Thanks. I have checked again. Its not showing the battery capacity now

  • is a good phone, good batery and desine is update to 4.4.2 kitkat and update to lollipop Q3 this year

  • CUP-Z doesn't show me battery capacity at all.

  • the link below is to 3 screen shots in the CPU-Z app on my phone. hope it answers all your questions.

  • Could you run CPU Z and check whether it shows the exact battery capacity

  • I am not a phone tester and I don�t own any of the 3, so I can�t say.

  • Phone repair update #8 Friday (2 days ago) i got my phone back (in my hand). Serial Number and IMEI matched what i sent to Fix. so far all software and hardware seem to be working. my screen and phone body was also changed as there is no scratches or dents anywhere and everything was covered under the warranty. on the down side...... 1. installation of the new body was not perfect. the panel at the back/bottom of the phone dose no sit flush in the left corner. you don't really notice it but if i pass my finger i can feel it. 2. the light for the home and back keys are now too bright. and in a dark room you can see it shine out of the black band onto the screen.

  • If you're on bass, then M7 w/beats audio is the one. Altough many people consider beats as trash, but it fits me perfect. M8 and M9 is more rounded setting low, middle and upper w/ boomsound. Good for classical, intruments hence they pairing it with harman kardon. Beats is for pop, R&B music... Hope it helps.

  • Hi Anthony, I am not decided which is no.1 sound quality htc one m8,m9 or sony hi res Walkman. Specially in earphones,,Thanks.

  • Did the settings solution meet the requirements of your needs?

  • Okay I will try it. Thanks

  • what i want to know is.... why you don't connect directly to the PC via USB and forget trying to connect to the modem. using the USB smart settings?

  • what i am saying is why don't you connect directly to the PC and forget the modem

  • My modem has only ethernet out port. That's why I need a converter

  • Take a look at Settings>More>Mobvile network shareing>USB By default it is set to none. But you can change it to tethering or internet pass-through or Smart Cost= free Only your USB cable included with the phone needed.

  • Why do you need all of that? You could just go in the phones USB setting and set the action to Auto. Then if your phone has internet and your PC don�t, your PC will get internet from the phone using the USB cable. If the PC has internet and the phone doesn�t then the phone will get internet from the PC. And as for file shearing you phone drives show up in �My Computer� when it�s connected to a PC. So why are you buying 2 extra cables?

  • Does one max have ethernet support? Will this work? Assuming you do not have a wireless network set up at home then you will need to buy two thing in order to be able to connect to the internet: Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter - $17 USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG On-The-Go Cable Adapter - $2 1. Plug the ethernet cable to the Network Adapter. 2. Plug the USB OTG cable to the Network Adapter. 3. Plug the USB OTG cable to the tablet. The OTG (On The Go) cable also allows a tablet to access files on a flash drive.

  • Samsung will only be better when they get rid of touchWizz. Touchwizz is a drain on battery life and fluidity of use. I enjoy sense U.I. but just like you i will not upgrade to a phone with a smaller screen and no fingerprint scanner. That would feel like a downgrade.

  • For me, any screen smaller than one max from htc, I will not buy. Remember Samsung Galaxy has better screen quality and much more features and also do not have on-screen menu button. Htc little screen is made smaller by on-screen menu and larger bezels. I have been wanting to upgrade from one max, but if htc don't came up with large screen like the max in next 6 months then I get Samsung. After we only deceive ourselves here when we all know that Samsung is actually better.

  • What is the model number. Single or dual sim variant

  • if you are paying for LTE service from your service provider, you will know if your phone supports it as soon as you get it. you already made the order, so just wait and see. if you are not paying for LTE then it will not mater. not all 4G is LTE some providers use WCDMA others use WIMAX (all are called 4G)

  • I already order this phone and now on the way to my place. But spec really make me mad, after buy I found in forum that one max released in Indonesia not supported 4G LTE. in here for Asia spec are written support 4G LTE and in htc Indonesia written this HH support 4G LTE. Any Idea guys ? Thanks

  • hi guys i wanna rooting my phone but what will happen for my phone? i did hear that fingerprint has disabled!!! pls explain me more about rooting this phone!!! thank u

  • as soon as i get it in my hand i well check the info you asked about. HTC is 3 day return shipping it to New York. then my friend has to ship it out of USA to me. so when i get it is totally up to her mercy to find the time to ship it out to me.

  • repair update #5 for those that are following. contacted HTC USA repairs via email to get a little more information because the tracking site is only saying in repair. good news is..... it looks like the damage is covered under the warranty so the $20US handling fee for sending an international model to the US repair centre to be fixed will be the first and last fee i had to pay to HTC. the not so good news.... i don't know when exactly it will be out of repairs as they are waiting on the part for my intentional model. The originally recommended repair location for me was Venezuela but i was not will to take the change and send my phone there as i don't speak Spanish.

  • Hope they will ship your device this week itself

  • @ HTC max user a.k.a KgwN and any one following my repair updates..... today i checked on the HTC tracking page and i was asked to approve a $20US service charge fee as i have an international model that i sent to the US to repair. i approved it, so it has the ok for a diagnosis on the device to be done. when i have a next update i'll let you guys know.

  • What colour did you buy ?

  • For now leave all question here. I don't add people to my FB just like that. And I stop using Skype because viber is more stable on mobiles.

  • for now leave your questions here. i don't add people to my FB just like that. and i no longer use skype because viber is more stable on mobiles

  • Anthony your very helpful. I bought ma htc it looks really awesome. Im new to htc hope to contact you for advice. If u can tell me easy way to contact you? Like fb or Skype.

  • As far as I know, you can charge any time you feel like. I don't think the battery being used has memory like long time batterys. What I wouldn't do is Leave it plugged in for hours after the light turns green.

  • Anthony should I charge phone after b low alert come?

  • If your phone is still on jellybean, leave it there. Too many cool things about sense 5.5 was removed when KitKat came out

  • O. From sense 6 from 5.5 is no big deal

  • Till the led turns green

  • Hey guys im gonna buy new htc one max tomorrow.could you pleas tell me how long should i charge the phone at first time to have a good battery life.im looking for immediate reply Thanks :D

  • No you not missing I asking about Update sense 6 :)

  • @ HTC max user a.k.a KgwN and any one following my repair updates..... today i logged onto the HTC Repair Tracking site. and my phone is registered as Device received by repairs department.

  • How much good is new update?

  • Great. Thanks for sharing

  • Great.Thanks for sharing

  • why so silent now? do you have access to a note III and ONE MAX or not?

  • As your wife has a note 3 and you have a one max, could you do me a favour? I'm thinking of buying an after market, under battery cover, Qi charger receiver made for the Note 3, to connect to the pogo pins of the one Max. Could you give me a measurement in mm of the space between the 3 pins on the note 3 that are designed for a Qi receiver? Could you tell if the spacing is the same between the 2 phones?

  • Well that is nice to known because my galaxy Siii didn't support NTFS.

  • My wife's Samsung note 3 reads NTFS hard drive by default i.e not rooted.

  • By default stock Android doesn�t support NTFS. You can add NTFS support but you have to root the phone first. so give your idea a try, it should work. Post your results

  • Does anybody know if I partition a part of my external hard drive to FAT32 if my phone can read it? Phone only read my flash drive but can't read my external hard drive.

  • Hi all dos any one ham problom playing nfs most wanted or modren combat4 it dosnt work on my max help me plz

  • Well if you read post below you already know my phone has gone for repairs, so sadly I can't test it with an external drive my self till I get it back.

  • I am using usb2.0 but it doesn't read my external hard drive. The Samsung does excellently.

  • It works with flash drive. But I mean it doesn't work with external hard drive. I have a 320 gig external hard drive it doesn't read it. But the Samsung does excellently.

  • did you install a file manager? because i connect flash drives using a USB OTG cable to my one max all the time. i even use it with a card reader to copy files to my SD card now that Android kitkat has complicated SD write access. are you using a USB2 or USB3 drive?

  • I'm disappointed that this phone can't read my external hard drive when I connected it. Something my old galaxy note 2 does perfectly. People say that Samsung is filled with useless features, but now we can see the advantages of Samsung useless features.

  • Why do you say the E8 over the ONE MAX? When the E8 has�. No fingerprint scanner for quick an easy unlocking. A noticeable smaller screen, speaker and battery No I.R. blaster for universal remote capabilities No FM radio No MHL TV out support. Both phone are currently using the Sense 6.0 U.I. on kitkat 4.4.2 The CPU is not noticeable faster. The only big advantage this the 13mp camera (not that the 4UP on the MAX is bad)

  • Go with HTC one E8

  • forget the One E8 get the One Max for the screen size, great speakers, finger print scanner, I.R. blaster and sense 6 U.I. or go for the Z2 for its water and dust resistance & primary camera.

  • witch one is better?? One E8 One Max Z2 Please respond quickly i want to buy one of them soon

  • witch one is better?? One E8 One Max Z2 Please respond quickly i want to buy one of them tommorow

  • I have faced that problem before on the now old HTC HD2. It happens when the pins in the USB port responsible for activating car mode when you put the phone in the HTC car mount, is grounding off, Making the phone think it's in a HTC car mount kit, even when nothing is connected to the usb Port. You most likely just like me tried to fix it by turning off car mode but because the Pins are still bridged all phone calls would start in loud speaker mode for car hands free use. What is causing The bridging of the pins is linth from your pockets got down in the port and was jamed in when you put the phone to charge. The only way to fix it is to clean inside the charging port. I fixed it on my hd2 the low tech way. 1. Cleared a charging cable with rubbing alcohol. 2. Jam the cable into the charging port of the phone as far as it could go. 3. Rock it violently from side to side to loosen anything that may be stock to the pins in the port. (Like a toothbrush removing plack from your teeth) You will know when it's clear when the phone stops picking up calls in speaker phone mode. Note: do not put rubbing alcohol directly in the port. If you are afraid to do it your self, take it to a professional to have the USB Port on the phone cleaned.

  • Hai friends... Please anyone help me to rectify the following issues of my one max. 1. Some apps like "car" is always opens automatically. 2. Can't mute the refresh sound while I am using Facebook n other sites. 3. Loud speaker is automatically 'on' when I start calling. I reseted the phone several times but the issues are still existing. The main thing is there is no HTC service centre in my place. I am really fed up with this problems especially the loud speaker issue. So kindly tell me some solution to overcome this problems... Please...

  • Lol! My phone falls all the time, that's why I invested in a tpu case before I even got the phone. But that's not the reason this time. I went trail riding on Monday and my phone was in my back pack.{I'll say no more till I get the report from HTC to what caused the damage, as I'm covered by the warranty. Lol) I'll keep you guys informed how the process goes.

  • Did the handset fall down accidentally ?

  • There is an option to disable blinkfeed if you do not want that on home screen

  • Will the Blink Feed will stop when the one nax have the lollipop ?

  • the mic in my phone stopped working on Tuesday 13th January 2015 contacted HTC repairs USA online today to ship it out for repairs. cross my fingers, and i hope all goes well.

  • No lag at all.Camera is good.It will also get lollipop updates soon

  • "any stock problems?" what do you mean by that? the link below is to test photos i took when i just got the phone to see what it could do. use it to see if it meets your needs or not.

  • any stuck problems ? And what abt the camera quality? What im wry abt is camera coz its jst 4mp

  • Never faced any issues of wifi until now. Currently using s3 and htc max

  • I want to buy it but afraid if the same problems(lost wifi signals)still exist in htc phones.im using htc one x before and thats the worst experience since im using a smartphones

  • Behind the back cover says made in Taiwan. My building number is 3.20.708.3 which means it is from a batch for the Hong Kong market. ONE MAX doesn't have beats because by then beats was already in negotiations with Apple. ONE MAX has boomsound.

  • Is your phone made in Taiwan or China ? Does this have beats audio.Please suggest an equalizer app for the HTC default music player.

  • It's a 2013 phone but it's running on Android 4.4.2 and sense 6. So it's not using 2013 software. And it's still open to updates from HTC

  • It's not 18 months old yet so it is still on HTC list of phones that could get Android updates. I'll think it's outdated when 64bit Android phones are commonplace and the apps I use daily run slow on it. Right now I don't have a need to upgrade and would buy a next one if I broke this one, over a m8 because of the screen size and the fingerprint scanner.

  • Released Date is 2013 Oct Isn't it too old Give me ur opinion?

  • you are correct 217 grams is waaaaay too much for anyone that isn't super human to lift with one hand. OMG get gym membership before you get this phone. better yet get 2 of these phones and you wouldn't need to go to a gym. lol.

  • weight?omg///too much

  • This is a work tool more than any thing for me, I�m not into gaming. So my opinion of the battery is based on that. I also have �ok google� set to be activated by voice from any screen so right there I�m already burning more power than the average user. On my average day I unplug about 5:30am and plug back in about 10pm with 20% battery left. On a heavy GPS WAZE NAV day. The phone is dead by 7:30pm if I don�t have it plugged in when using waze. The fingerprint scanner works great. I have a ridiculously long alphanumeric password that I have no need to enter unless my fingers are wet. That is the only time the scanner will not work. (wet fingers) you should also know, that you don't have to unlock the phone to use the camera to take a picture.

  • @hariznoris : battery life is wonderful. It's easy to going through for a day with my normal usage(email,bbm,camera). Last holiday I was using this device to navigate using GPS. It has awesome battery life.

  • How is the battery life like on the device??

  • How is the battery life like? And is the fingerprint scanner good?

  • since i started using it makes me happy

  • Happy new year my dear all friends.

  • Juaf got mine today.. Really love it!! Screen is amazingly sharp 1080p and huge. Boom sound is loud and clear. I think the processor isn't far behind from the snapdragon 800 series, and you won't notice in average usage. I got it for USD 400 (unlocked). A very nice deal sir! Premium design and It's much way better than the iPhone at this range price.. Thanks for your time :)

  • Its wonderful pda very good battery and network and camera 80%

  • That's what I was thinking, that's why I asked what % his/her battery was at. I'm not the one with the problem, my phone works great.

  • reason only Your battery is very low..

  • What % is your battery at?

  • My flash is not working. On apps or camera what's wrong?

  • Did you root your phone?

  • My fingerprint sensor can't recorded

  • I mean opera mini and not opera browser. Opera browser naturally don't have the fit to screen feature.

  • Just for you I installed opera browser for android version 26.0.1656 to get the menu at the bottom you just have to go in settings and set app layout to classic. And to get the text to reflow on a web page when you zoon, go to settings and turn on text wrap.

  • This problem is not as a result of opera mini version but as a result of software change on the one max. No matter the version of opera mini installed, the fit to screen feature is not there and also the menu is now on top instead of below.

  • If you ever used any software backup app to backup the apk files of the apps you run. Restore an old JB version of Oprah mini. That's what I did to get back the old black HTC calculator.

  • If you ever used any software backup app to backup the apk files of the apps you run. Restore an old JB version of Oprah mini. That's what I did to get back the old black HTC calculator.

  • After update to kitkat, opera mini fit to screen feature disappeared. Opera menu that used to be below is now on top. The only reason I prefer opera to other browsers is because of this fit to screen feature. Please how do I solve this problem?

  • best phaplet ever i use it for 6 month whit out any issues

  • Hi guys, Anyone of you facing overheat issue with One Max? I meant when watching Youtube or playing games for a long time...

  • What version are you on? The one MAX is only up to 4.4.2 Android (officially) As for the battery bar, it cool but I would go for the zerolemon brand. I have used their extended battery on the SIII and it's excellent. My wife took the SIII when I upgraded to this and she is still using that extended battery. anyway, back to the battery bar. Zerolemon has one that is 15500 mAh and it cost less than that of the HTC bar. Check it out, you may like it

  • hi anthony , i think to buy htc battery bar 9000 mah , to support my max any where and any time , because i start notice my battery rain increase , please tell me what you advice . however i still use my factory android version whithout any update till now .

  • Hi everyone. Does anyone know when Android Lollipop will be available for HTC One Max?

  • I think he means battery �backup� And by battery backup, he mean battery run time/life. But for some reason I see a lot of people from India calling it battery backup.

  • hi . what you mean by battery backuk?

  • I am very much satisfied with the amazing battery backuk, The real boom sound and faster processor. I'll give 9.5 on 10.

  • First of all, learn to spell.... This phone isn't for playing little video games, it's the kind of phone for working people....... Okay princess? Yes it's a great smartphone between the htc one (m7) & HTC one (m8) obviously read the specs!

  • Tanks alot fun1 u make me like d fone more.tanks

  • Hi Adiec I have had my one max just over 9 months now. And I can safely say I have no regrets buying it. It responsive, excellent sound quality from the speakers, and the large screen is a treat to look at with the sense UI interface. Even the finger print scanner is a breeze to use now and I don�t think I can go back to a phone that doesn�t have one. I�m not a gamer so I can�t talk about game play but I do watch movies and 1080p movies look and sound grate on this phone no need to use earbuds to hear dialog when you are in a room that is not absolutely quiet. My only complaint is the phone didn�t come with a built in file explore/manager and that is not a good thing with the kitkat update. But on the up side the M8 didn�t come with one and they got it in the last update so the MAX should get one in the next Android update. I did have touch screen ghost touches issue for a few days last month, but as it turns out, this phone is not IP67 certified so small amount of moisture was playing havoc with the digitizer on my screen. But it was easily fixed at home with the use of a Bheestie Single 28g Bag for Cell Phones, I got on amazon.com. Just left my phone in that for 3 days and it was back to normal again. Never had the problem again to date. Hope this was helpful.

  • Plz how good is this phone. I heard it's have tourch issues and how good is it in playing high defination game?

  • I forgot to thank you, Vikram. Superbeam works like a charm. Thank you again!

  • If your running 4.4.2, it all depends on which way you swipe on the lock screen. Swipe (UP) unlocks to last active app/screen. (this is the one you want to do) Swipe (left) unlocks to home screen Swipe (right) unlock to BlinkFeed

  • had this for the last one week.. amazing expericene.. recommended.. little thing... once the screen goes off in 30 seconds or so.. on reopening of screen.. it shows home screen again.. instead of showing the application which ws already running...

  • Awesome phone

  • Hi Jo & cuda524 it is now 7 day after using the drying bag and my touch screen is still working like normal. no more ghost touches. cuda524, how are things going with you?

  • What did the Tec say was wrong with it/happened to it? Was it a HTC authorised Tec?

  • I woke up one morning & noticed no life on my HTC one max, I took to technician & was later informed that it can't work again. Please I need solution.

  • Hi Cuda524 really hope the problem you have is the same as what I had. Because the electronics drying bag really works wonders. As for the rice I don't know the proper rice to air ratio to make it work properly. So if you turn on the (show touches) and you are seeing touches even when you are not touching it. Skip the rice and just buy the bag with the drying beads. Day 4 and my phone is still working like normal :)

  • Hey Anthony, Thanks for the detailed tips and Intel. Working on it now! I'm in a humid area of the country, so the moisture theory is probably *Spot On. Thanks again!

  • Hi Cuda524 How I determine it was ghost touches on my screen (meaning the screen was detecting touches when I was not touching it). I went to settings/developer options and I turned on (show touches). With that on, I would see a white spot where ever I touched the screen (this is normal). The problem I was having is the white spots were also appearing and moving along the left edge of my screen even when the phone was just resting on the table and no one is touching it (that is not normal). With this setting �on� I could see why apps were not opening at times without multiple attempts. And why I would drag icons on the home screen when I was only trying to swipe through the home screens. With some google searching, I notice this problem was affecting people with nexus phones, ipads and even touch screen laptops. In our office we have a water dispenser that draws water out of the air to full its reservoir, so trust me when I say it is very possible to get small amounts of moisture on the insides of your phone without it actually coming in direct contact with a visible source of water. How to turn on developer options if you don�t see it in settings� Go to Settings/About/Software Information/More/ Tap on Build Number 6 times. You will see a message saying "You are now a developer" Return to you settings menu and you will find the Developer's options is now in the list. The low tech way to get moisture out of your phone is to put it in an air tight zip lock bag with un-cooked rice for about 7days. (Remove case and battery cover) the rice should draw the moisture out of the small amount of air trapped in the bag. The better and faster way to do it, is to buy an electronics moisture removal bag. This will get the job done in 24-72 hours. I left my phone for 58 hours See link below to the bag I used. the bag cost me $18US and in my opinion it was better and cheaper than paying someone to take apart my phone to try and fix the problem. I will report here again next week and let you guys know if the problem started back or not.

  • Jo It looks like it was caused by moisture in the phone that I could not see from the outside. It's 2 days now from when I took it out of the drying bag and it's still working like normal. Will report back after a week if things are still normal or not. BTW soaking wet pants after 2 1/2 hours of cycling maybe what got moisture inside my phone.

  • I'm having this problem daily, every time my app screens are visible...also touching the sides of the phone (glass edge) itself will open a app in the center of the screen &it will take multiple touches to open apps as well.. It started with the last Verizon software update *fact...also keyboard typing isssues (typing delay & thin lines scrolling up through screen), also the head phone Jack is non functional. All within a week of the last update..I absolutely loved this phone up until that point, it lives in the otter box aside from weekly cleaning and has never touched moisture... resets and calibration has not worked...any ideas would be greatly appreciated??!!! Hoping it's just coincidental Verizon doesn't carry this phone anymore as well...

  • Yea i had this probleme

  • Hey,when i take a phon number the phonebook doesent save it/plz help me fix it

  • Hey,when i take a phon number the phonebook doesent save it/plz help me fix it

  • follow up put my phone in a Bheestie bag over the weekend and so far it seems to be back to normal. no ghost touches on the screen. will see how things go for the rest of the week.

  • started having problems with phantom/ghost touches on my HTC ONE MAX screen. is any body having this problem? strange thing is it is not happening every day.... but when it starts feels like forever before it will stop.

  • no it is not an issue. some people just don't take the time to install it according to the instructions. (it is not a snap on) you have to slid your finger with some pressure along 3 of the 4 sides. and its made of metal, so if yours is warped a bit, its noting you can't fix by applying some pressure at the area that needs adjusting.

  • Everybody seems to complain about the removeable back cover that it doesn't sit completely flush to the sides. M getting my new MAX in a day or two. Can someone please clarify is it really a concern ? THANKS,

  • You said it your self, it's "Rumors" get disappointed if you see that spec on the HTC web page, seeing that they are the ones that have to make the phone, not the people you making the rumors.

  • follow up. you do know that both models you mentioned have no mic for phone calls?

  • I can't say which is better because I never tried any of them. personally i don't like the design of any of them because they can't be warn on the neck when i don't want it in by ear. what about... Philips SHQ4200/28 Sports Neckband Headphones or LG Electronics Tone Pro Bluetooth Stereo Headset

  • Hello anthony i am not decided which is better headphones for m8.sony XBA H1 AND SENNHEISER CX 685.Plz reply bro.

  • You said it your self, it's "Rumors" get disappointed if you see that spec on the HTC web page, seeing that they are the ones that have to make the phone, not the people you making the rumors.

  • Really and what are you endorsing Samsung? Cheap workmanship gadget.

  • I'm not pleased about rumors of max 2. Screen should be 5.9 and above to make it MAX. Desire 816 is already 5.5 inc screen. To make max2 5.5inc with on screen menu will make it not different from m8 because I see no difference between 5.2 and 5.5inc screen

  • my HTC ONE MAX is black. it is the Hong Kong Model. i got it on amazon.

  • do you we have HTC one max black ? because i seem not to find one in the market

  • I hope there will be a max II. With better camera, chipset, more features and more improved battery. Hmmmm

  • Thanks, Anthony! I've already downloaded Superbeam last week.

  • I have absolutely enjoyed this phone since I have owned it. I have not had any issue with the Fingerprint scanner as it actually works without fault each time. Call quality is brilliant, battery life is fantastic. Camera could be a bit better, not to say that it is bad, but it would be better with regards to what else is actually out there. Overall, 8/10

  • The MAX doesn't have beats audio because by the apple was already working on a deal to buy beats. The one MAX and newer one phones have boom sound and there is no logo on the phone for it . Write down the serial number and contact HTC help desk online. They can confirm if it's official or not. You can also check to see if the software number is official by typing it into Google search. Look to see if BlinkFeed works. Have them show you that the finger print scanner to unlock works.

  • follow up... this is there web page. looks like the app got pulled from the play store for new users. but i can still see it, maybe it has to do what that fact that i downloaded the app over a year ago to use on a SIII and now use it on my ONE MAX

  • In Call Recorder by. GrinZone (it is a free app) it was in the play store but i can't find it there any more. you can use the code below to download the .apk useing the (send anywhere) app for the next 24 hours. 6QH4IH

  • Can someone recommend for me the best call recording app for this phone?

  • Can not update software on my HTCOP3P7. Com android setting always stopping.

  • AE and AF only lock when you press and hold on the screen for more than 3 seconds. If you just want to focus without locking the AE and AF you just have to tap the screen. Taping the screen will also unlock the AE and AF if you locked it. If you are doing nothing and your AE and AF is locking, you may be having touch screen problems. To confirm if you have touch screen problems you can do the line drawing test in Hardware diagnostics. And your can turn on �show touches� in Developer options. With show touches on, if you�re seeing white touch dots on your screen when you�re not even touching it, you have a screen problem. Hope this helps.

  • How to unlock the AE and AF in my one max camera

  • Red colour is not so fine always paint is removing.......not fine ......

  • It still has audio enhancements, it's called boomsound. Beats belong to Apple now so don't expect to see that brand on any new phone other than the iPhone.

  • If only it has beats audio enhancement...*sigh*

  • My One max camera making noise and pictures not clear at all any one can help me to repear my phone

  • Any one can help me my one max camera making noisy voice and the picture not clear at all

  • thanx for the info bro

  • Different cameras are good at different things and some are the same or worse at some things. That's why I asked what you want to improve in your pictures? Exposure, focus, auto focus, resolution, hue? Which do you want to improve

  • I only asked if there is any 3rd party camera app better than the stock camera in general picture quality I didn't ask for the best settings for the stock camera.

  • I'm curious, what exactly do you want to improve in the pictures you take?

  • I have always tried AE AF lock and it never produced a better picture

  • did you ever try using the AE and AF lock?

  • I will tell you why I went with the Max over the M7 and you can decide for yourself. I wanted the bigger screen The bigger battery The removable storage. And the louder speaks. The finger print scanner didn�t matter to me but now I have grown to love it. I have a ridiculously long alphanumeric password and no one even tried to finger it out because I only use the finger swipe to unlock the phone hahahahaaaa.

  • Can anyone suggest me a third party camera app that can take better quality photos than the stock camera?

  • thanx anthony..i want to buy this one or m7,which will you recommend?

  • No the HTC one MAX doesn't have the pink problem.. Btw that pink tint issue was a problem with some of the camera chips. So only some of the M7 phones was affected by it.there are 2 co-workers in my office with M7. The guy with the Hong Kong model has the problem, but the guy with the AT&T model don't.

  • is there the pink tint issue with the camera in this device like the htc one?

  • thanks for the explanation that doesn't sound crazy like the ones i was getting form HTC help(online). I was thinking it was a standardised format, like how bluetooth is. seeing that the mass majority of Android phone owners where i am are Samsung users, i never faced the problem till i switched to HTC. thanks again for the heads up.

  • Wifi direct is a feature for only same brand phones, u can use sony to sony or htc to htc..but you have option to download SUPERBEAM app on all android phone and transfer data from one to another at 40mbps transfer which is double than wifi direct..hope IT HELPS

  • Thank u so much for repling for my problm

  • I have been complaining about this issue to HTC online technical assistance from the very first week I got this phone. And have been getting the most ridiculous replies. One rep even tried to tell me that wifi direct is a special internet service that my service provider must support. When I told him how it worked on my old SIII he reminded me that they are not Samsung. I felt like the Tec support are not properly trained in mobile tec or I�m going crazy and invented a data transfer slandered that no one knew about. They gave me the same response when I suggested that they put a file manager in the ROM to solve the 4.4.2 restriction issue. But now it�s reported to be coming in the newer ROMs. So get enough people to complain about the wifi direct issue to HTC help/support desk (on-line) and explain how it works on other phones, and they will be forced to fix it just as they are adding the file manager now.. But for now I use a USB OTG cable and a flash drive or an app called (Send Anywhere) by Estmob inc. and a wifi network, if I need to share large files.

  • Anthony, can you please help me on my WiFi Direct with my One max? My friend was trying to send me a movie via WiFi Direct from his Galaxy Tab Pro, however, our devices are just "connected" but that's just it. He can't send the file to me. Whereas he sent the same movie to a friend's Galaxy Note 8 via WiFi Direct. Is it a compatibility issue? Thank you in advance for your assistance, Anthony!

  • 3hours from circa 15% to full also battery life us excellent almost two days of heavy using

  • From 0%-100% in 3h using 2amp charger

  • Wat is the battery life of dis mobile...and how much time it takes to get full charge......please help me guys

  • Please help me I want to buy this mobile..... How much time it takes for full charging ....I heard htc takes nearly 4 to 5 hours for 100% charging.....

  • Hi friends just I want to know what's the battery life of this mobile...and main thing I want to know how much time it takes to full battery charging

  • The app you need called.... In Call Recorder by. GrinZone I got it in the play store over a year ago and it works on this phone too. In settings you set the audio source as phone line and the gain level to 1. It allows you to record both sides of the conversation without turning on speakerphone. It will not work with a Bluetooth headset there is a auto mode to record all calls but I find manual to be best. The key to start recording can be to the left or right of the picture ID or in the notification tray so it's not pressed by accident. It makes no tone, so the other person would not even know you are recoding them. If it's no longer available in the play store, I can send you my backup . apk file over the .... Send anywhere app by Estmob Inc. Also available in the play store.

  • For those who are interested, there is a modified Adobe flash apk. That allows you have to play flash content in the dolphin browser on phones with Android 4.4.2

  • how long dose it take to charge? as for the power button, you do know this is not the HTC ONE M8?

  • Battery does not last all day; The charger that came with the phone wiggles, does not fit snugly to the phone; It takes so long to charge it.Im done with this phone. Not a touch screen at all; you have to turn it on the side of the phone itslef to see the main screen. I am not recommending it to anyone.

  • I think the latest software update is only for One Max hTC_Asia_WWE.

  • Please someone help me out. I have tried different call recording apps but non has worked well. I can only hear my voice clearly but I can't hear the other persons voice because it's just too low. What can I do to make the two parties voices loud and clear? I always don't like my calls to be on speakers otherwise that would have worked.

  • No. I didn't get any update that small. Only updates were 4.4.2 in February, then 4.4.2 again but with sense 6 in July. And the frequent HTC app updates that I now get from the play store after the sense update to 6.

  • Really? Oh well I may have overlooked that on my previous software version and I only happen to see it on the latest version. Anyhow have you receive the latest update yet?

  • Separate lock screen wallpaper is not new to the one max.

  • Hi HTC One max users, have you guys receive a software update on your device? Because I did received yesterday via OTA. Here's the details: Software update: 3.23.707.1 (145.58 MB) This update contains important enhancements and bug fixes, including: - System security improvement. There you go, I already update the new software version and it has some noticeable changes on "settings" interface of the phone. You can now also assign a separate wallpaper on your lockscreen. It would be nice if HTC provide the change log for this update. Anyhow, Thanks HTC. Looking forward for 4.4.4. :)

  • will definitely do so. By the way, we should also email HTC as to when will they release a tablet. Life is easier with my HTC M8 & HTC One Max. Nonetheless, HTC for life no matter what

  • YaHoo! that's good news if we don't get 4.3 we will get 4.4.4 by years end and that will have it. but just to be sure, you guys/gals should keep asking HTC official support page for the file manager in our next update. As i have been doing as soon as i got 4.4.2 The more customers that ask for it the higher the chances of getting it.

  • Kitkat 4.4.3 update has brought a file manager to m8 thus solving the problem of Kitkat SD card slot. Are we expecting such update to one max?

  • Okay people, I found out the hard way that this phone is not water resistant. About a day or so after getting caught in the rain mounting biking the touch screen began to give trouble. It was only after doing a factory reset (which did not help) and then turning on �Show Touches� in Developer options I realised it was registering that I was touching up and down the entire left side of the screen even when the phone was not in my hand. Though I could see no damage to the screen and my phone was in a case, I concluded it had to be moisture on the inside that I could not see. My phone spent the entire weekend in an electronics dehydration bag, and I�m happy to say its back to normal. The moral of this story is. Keep this phone away from any kind of water. But if shit happens, those molecular sieve desiccant beads really do work to dry out your phone when you can�t take it apart.

  • Dude if you want a note 3 by all means go ahead and buy one. just know that the Verizon version of the note 3 has no sim slot or support for the GSM network, just like the Verizon version of the ONE MAX, so there is no way the verizon version would work on the AT&T network.

  • how do you register your phone with what or for what?

  • yes. the one max has 4.4.2 with HTC Sense 6 now.

  • please how do i register my phone

  • is there any "kitkat" updates for htc one max ??

  • Go to Click on contact us. Pick live chat. Ask them for help.

  • Thank u for the info, :-) so your phone is basically the asia version right? With the 16gb? Tsk i prefer the 32gb cause i wanted to have a bigger memory and of course the version with LTE compatible to us cariers like tmobile & atnt. But the versions on amazons are the euro wc is not compatible to u.s LTE. Asia version is the only compatible but due to its 16gb instead of 32 id rather not buy it. Ill just go with the note3 i guess. Well thank u again godbless

  • my hand set had locked, means i forgotted d pswd. initially to unlock my device, i kept finger print scanner. few(4) attempts my device is locked, can anyone help me plzzzz past 5days onward my device was dead

  • Let me explain this the best way I can. HTC and other manufacturers want to sell their devices around the world. Different regions have different laws, both (copyright) & communications. So the ROM is amended to abide by the laws so the service providers will order the phones in mass quantities in there country. So there are many version at a software level, not just the 4 you mentioned. I personally have the Hong Kong version. Each version is identified by a software number. If you type 3.20.708.3 into Google search you will see the one I got. Then there are the hardware differences, some providers use CDMA system for voice calls and the rest use GSM. As CDMA don't use a SIM card it's something that the manufacturer can choose to leave out to cut cost or use the physical space for other hardware or leave the SIM slot in to make the CDMA phone an a.k.a world phone. On the other hand phones being made for a GSM market will never work on the CDMA network because GSM phones keep there number on the SIM where as CDMA phones have their number built into the phone. I got my phone on Amazon as well. I don't live in the USA or Hong Kong. But I ordered the Hong Kong model because it was GSM, and had the factory unlock EDGE & H+ radio frequency my service provider uses + I was getting it in black. LoL.

  • Oh i see, thats why verizon also have 32gb version, cause i look at its frequency bands is same with asia version 16gb only. cause im planning to buy from amazon so meaning if i bought the euro\asian it will not work? How did they have their own version? They ask htc to make a htc one max cdma version just for their network? Thank u

  • Sprint & Verizon have their own version because they use CDMA phones. European and Asia don't use CDMA networks

  • can anyone tell me what is the version used by verizon and sprint? Is it asia or european version? Cause its confusing that sprint32gb version doesnt have LTE same as the european 32gb but the verizon32gb have lte like the asia 16gb version can anybody clarrify this to me. I want the 32gb version but im not sure if ill buy the european version cause it might not work with all us carriers specially LTE. Thank u guys ;)

  • Pictures taken with my HTC ONE MAX

  • I think this is the best phone I ever got, and my last phone was s4 and the diffrence is very hige, less bugs more fluencey,amazing screen, unbelievable sound, good camera it won't let you down, why would I need a snapdragon 800 if I there is no notable diffrence in performance ???.a premium design . I think this is the best phone ever . When I compared it to note 3 I loved it even more.

  • I like the camera. Don't mix up 4 UltraPixel with 4 megapixel they're not the same at all. Look at my sample pictures at the link below postimg.org/gallery/a39ca3o6/

The music is crisp, clear and very loud. And it's just a gorgeous phone to the eye. Samsung can not hold a stick to this bad boy.

  • Nice phone guy's

  • Man , if this was a at least 5.5" devise with a snapdragon 800, 2.3GHz quad core processor , i think this would be the best smartphone on the market right now .It is just my opinion .

  • you can put it to wcdma by manually looking for network under mobile networks

  • im not home these days bro ..once i come home will check all solutions you have sent me ..again i appreciate so much your reply :)

  • Are you seeing the option to add blink feed but it not working or the option just isn�t there?

  • what is your software number?

  • i have done all that antony but it still the same

  • where did you get your ROM? what was the file size of your download? do you know what was the software number of your original ROM?

  • you will have to start from set 3. let me know what happens by the way, when you changed the ROM the first time did you S-OFF your phone?

  • Search for the word skate it this forum it would lead you to the instructions you can use

  • I have an unlocked HTC one max verizon, I wasn't able to update the firmware. The info in the update says it can only be updated in cdma mode. Am using GSM on it how do I update it?

  • To turn on BlinkFeed follow the steps below. 1. go to your home screen 2. pinch the screen to bring up the home screen editor. 3. swipe the panels to see the left most panel. it should be BlinkFeed with a plus sign. 4. tap it to turn it on.

  • my htc one max was sent from korea and it did not come with an htc blinkfeed,pls how do i get it on my phone?

  • Did you clear the cache partition before you flashed the ROM. if you didn't you have to do it now and factory reset to get out of the boot loop. Note: if your flash counter has increased from zero because of what you did, you will no longer get HTC official updates.

  • dear users i have a problem and need your help...yesterday a friend of mine brought for me HTC one max FROM CHINA the devise still new but my friend done a big mistake as he deleted the firmware coz in china google services not working and he tried to install the international stock firmware ,,the bad news is it's not working ..after installation it says successful but after i reboot it stuck on HTC logo and keep restarting ....do you have any ideas for me mates?

  • have you tried starting your phone in safe mode to see it the camera still has the problem in safe mode?

  • did you buy your phone like that, or did that happen after an update?

  • I have this exact problem. The display for camera locks as soon as turned on. You can still take pictures but you can't see what it will be until after you take the picture. No preview in realtime of what the camera is looking at.

  • Congratulations Anthony. Sense 6 sure took a while for hongkong version. Still, Good work from HTC.

  • hi . i get htc one max germant t.mobile software number 2.2.6.111.2 no update sense 6 fo htc one max germany please tell me when update sense 6 for this mobile

  • Finally 3.20.708.3 update is here for users that have the Hong Kong model 2.61.708.1 Yes it has sense 6 and more in it. Will be updating later today after I clear my cache partition.

  • did you always have this problem? or did it happen after a ROM update or you drop the phone?

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the camera where it all of the sudden will not allow you to scan around for a view to capture? The minute I turn on the camera feature it captures whatever it is aimed at at that instant and will not allow any moving the lens around seeking a scene to take a picture of. I hope I explained that correctly. At any rate, I cannot take pictures with it as is.

  • As far as my none-professional use of the video recorder goes, it does not seem to be affected by the CPU conservation when Power saver mode is on. But you should note that Power saver mode has customizable settings in this phone. So you can leave CPU at full power if you feel like. There is also reduce display brightens, turn off feedback and turn off data when screen is off all 4 can be set to on/off in the power saving mode settings.

  • Number one phablet supersize one max in the whole world.

  • Does anyone know if power saving mode affects video recording quality ? Since the cpu is lowered

  • for best results with the camera use the AE and AF lock. 1. Decide what is the subject of your picture and put your finger on it and hold it there till you see AE and AF locked. 2. Then you can reposition the camera if you like to frame your picture just right. 3. now tap the shutter button.

  • I Had a SIII before this so I know what you are talking about. Location services works and is setup a bit different on this phone. First be sure to have the GPS toggle as one of the visible 12 buttons in your quick settings. Now here come the part that I think is strange. apps can access location information with the toggle in both (ON) and (OFF) position. Or you can have it set that none gives you location information. It all depend on how the location service is set up in settings. Below is the best way I know how to explain it. There are 4 modes for the location service (and I mean the �location service� and not the GPS toggle in quick settings I mentioned above.) 1. (Off) [you get no location data] 2. (ON) High accuracy [uses GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile network all at the same time to get your location] 3. (ON) Battery saving [uses your Wi-Fi, mobile network only to get your location] 4. (ON) Device sensors. [ uses your GPS radio only to get your location] Any of the 4 mentioned above can be set to the GPS toggle OFF and any of the 4 can be set to the GPS toggle (ON). It sound crazy to me but it is true. HOW TO SET IT UP. 2 finger swipe into your quick settings look at your GPS toggle and see if it is ON or OFF (For my example I would say it is OFF.) Then tap the 3 dots on the GPS toggle. It will take you to location settings. In there you decide what mode you want the Toggle in, when it is OFF. You can which it off so no apps get any data when the toggle is off or you can have it (ON) and pick what mode you want it run in when the toggle is OFF (2,3,4 mentioned above) Then you 2 finger swipe into the quick settings again. Turn the GPS toggle (ON) Tap the 3 dots again and go back into the location settings. This time you are setting up how the GPS toggle behaves when the toggle is (ON) from the same 4 options mentioned above. YES! It sounds crazy but it�s true. Once you setup how you want the GPS toggle ON and OFF from quick settings to work. You only need to go to quick settings (using the 2 finger swipe) to switch between your GPS modes using to toggle ON/OFF only.

  • Camera result is bad and GPS not work properly and mobile location service not in this phone like Samsung grave otherwise good phone....

  • Avoid like the plague! In 3 months I have had 5 faults, returned it twice, last time took 21 days! Promised a call by HTC "Escalations" twice and no one has bothered to contact me. Power socket failed, auto brightness not working, speakers distorting, microphone poor, and random crashes followed by it switching itself on when just sitting on a desk. Add to that appalling battery life and poor build quality.

  • Max is 1080P full HD, 816 is 720P no full HD Max has bigger screen. Max has the better display contrast and sunlight viewing. Max has the noticeably higher pixel density (makes viewing easer on the eyes) MAX has the scratch resistant glass. Max has the fingerprint sensor Max has the bigger/louder front stereo speakers 816 supports the bigger SD card. Max has more internal storage and RAM Max has the faster mobile data transfer rates. Max has a IR blaster for universal remote function There don�t use the same camera sensor technology 816 has the better front facing camera MAX has the better Chipset, CPU and GPU MAX has the better battery

  • Can somebody tell me the differences between HTC One Max and HTC Desire 816?

  • The same should happen when you take off desktop view. You suppose to get the mobile versions of the web page. That is reformatted for north/ south scrolling only. Close all web page tabs that may be open in desktop mode and try it again, see if that helps

  • In the default browser if I uncheck desktop view, then the contents become to small such that I must zoom out to read content. Opera mini and ucbrowser format the web content well such that you don't need to zoom instead you just scroll North and South. I need such browser that I will only have to scroll North and South. I don't want zooming to view content

  • In the default browser called "internet" tap the 3 dots (menu) and uncheck (desktop view) and reload your page.

  • Hi, Ponjap. Thanks for trying to help. However, I have already tried doing that and it still didn't work. After the update to Sense 6, whenever I tap "Send Greeting" then "Write on wall" in the Calendar app, I'm redirected to Facebok homepage asking me to log-in. However, after I put my username and password then log-in,the error message "An error occured. Please try again later" appears. If anyone can assist me, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  • When I updated to sense 6 opera mini took a new design and lost the fit-to-screen feature. I just want a single column browser without having to zoom in and out to view things . And I can't seem to find one. Ucbrowser has that feature but I don't like Ucbrowser. I hate scrolling North, South, East and West. I only like scrolling North and South. Any help with such browser will be greatly appreciated !

  • Post questions you want answered, points you want me touch on. And I'll give a review later or tomorrow. I'll compair using this phone to using the SIII that was my phone just before the MAX. You can also download the user manual for this phone and give it a read before you buy. That's what I did. I read the entire thing. 210 pages before I bought it on Amazon.

  • What exactly would you like to know about my experience using this phone? because I can't give a day by day report. ;)

  • The link 3 test pictures. The woman is moving and I was walking backwards. The finger is to see if it would show my print in low light conditions no flash. The 3rd is my jeans pants leg If you want to see a next type of situations just tell be what.

  • I have been shearing. You just have to go back to the earlier pages. Start from February. That is when I was deciding between ONE MAX and note 3.

  • Plz give the link Plz also share experience of this phone Ever since u got it

  • No to all you asked. I have links to test pictures I took back in February. If you like I can post the links for you to check out.

  • Plz give the link I'm very much crazy about this phone Very much interested to buy It stopping me due to bad reviews in net so Plz kindly share your personal experience of this max one

  • Hi plz guide have you encounter any problems in one max phone since you purchased like Battery replacement Screen display Slow in performance Camera pic low clarity

  • @ Shreedhar Is this the official car dock you said works with the pogo pins? it's funny how I don't see the connectors on the back plate... Is this the same official car dock with a micro USB port on the inside of the slot? The same design they have been using for years, I even had one for my HD2... Is this the only accessory HTC has that uses the ONE MAX pogo pin... The power flip case. Do you still pity me as I don't know what I'm taking about?

  • @ shreedhar Ok smarty pants, if you never had a HTC with a physical home button, how do you know the physical button is shitty? :) Look at the screen shot of the HTC ONE MAX accessibility options I took just for you. If I turn on the option I highlighted, tell how do I wake the screen without cutting the call when the screen goes to sleep in very long calls? keep in mind there is no, always on option when the phone is being powered by the battery and there is no physical home key smarty pants. still think I don't have this phone?

  • @ Shreedhar Look at the screen shot and tell me if you recognize the, Then see if you understand what is said in the pop-up when you make acquisitions be sure to check it on your phone first if you even have this phone.

  • @ Shreedhar You said I don't have this phone and proceeded to give instructions on how too keep the screen always on. That's not what I wanted to do but I I'm here to say you look like the one that don't have this phone or you have a fake. Take a look at my screen shot in the link and let me where you see always on in the screen time out settings... Oops, it's not there. How foolish you feeling now?

  • Sorry about the type errors in the last rushed post but I know you are intelligent enough to figure out what I was trying to say. BTW I ment can't not can when I was making my file manager point. But if you did it on your ONE MAX running 4.4.2 please tell the rest of us that had the problem from the update back in February. What file manager we should download?

  • It a list of things I don't like and not an attack on YOU, HTC or Android. So don't get your panties in a bunch. I have been using this phone continually as of Feb this year and I and just for your information, this is not my first HTC. I owned the HTC HD2, HTC HD and the QTECK (made by HTC before they started branding the phone them self) so I have a very long history of using HTC phones. If you don't believe just look up my name in the HD2 & HD forum. I never changed it all these years. My history with Android started when I ported Android to my then HD2 then I upgraded to the SIII Samsung the year it came out. Feel free to look up my post there as well if you think I'm making this up. But seeing you want to be so helpful, give me some details so I can love my phone even more than I love it not with the personal issues I have. 1. Please teach me how to use WiFi direct to send large files from my ONE MAX to a S class phone without having to install 3rd party software on the S class phone. 2. Never sleep is not an option.... I don't know about you but I would like my battery to last the day. I don't need the screen on when I not even looking at the phone. 3. if you never had a HTC with a physical home button then you are just too young and that's not my problem. LOL 4. The HTC car kit uses the USB port. Do you even have one? The pins are an alternative tap into the battery only. The car kit does alot more like, turns on Bluetooth and switch the phone into drive mode automatically. I also know the pins can be used with a 3rd party wire less charger kit but now one made one for this phone. Downloaded file managers can write to the EXT SD and real user on Android 4.4.2 could tell you that. It has to be a file manager that came with the ROM. Be helpful if you can please. I don't have a 64gb card so I can use up all my mobile data with cloud storage solutions.

  • I really pity on you. You don't know abt android phones and commenting here. If you haven't used this phone just dont comment. well read the answers: 1. Wifi Direct work flawlessly if you know how to operate it 2. Go to display settings and select never sleep option in sleep option 3. Definitely you never used HTC before. It NEVER had shitty homekey press button and always you had to wake the screen with power button. home key is NOT a button 4. really? you know why there are these pogo keys? HTC always had this and people love HTC for this reason. These are for (car) docking reasons 5. If you want a file manager download from play store. HTC doesnt believe in adding one more crap app user may not like hence, they made the online storage either google drive or dropbox. So if you're complaining HTC or Android just understand you don't have enough knowledge on this

  • Hi , The phone is worth the money !! the screen and phone works without any issues am using the phone from Dec.

  • My list of things i think are stupid about this phone. 1. Wifi direct don�t work the way it supposed to. 2. There is no stay awake when am looking at the screen like in the Samsung flag ships, so if your downloaded app don�t have the option to keep the phone awake built into it. Then you are in Shit Street. 3. There is no physical home key that can be used to wake the screen. Only the power button can wake the screen. This means if you are a heavy user of the speaker phone on this phone (which is great by the way) you can�t set the power button to end calls, or you will end your call when you try to wake the screen when having a speaker phone call. 4. There are pogo pins on the back but only accessory that uses it is the HTC Power flip. (what a waste of potential) 5. There is no built-in file manager to by-pass the new Android 4.4.2 3rd party apps write restriction. So if the app you use, don�t have a dedicated Android 4.4.2 SD card app save folder, you are shit out of lock using that app to save anything to SD card. (note this is a Android problem and not a HTC problem) All the rest works much better than I expected and was a major improvement from my SIII that I was using before.

  • Whaaaaaaaaat!!??? what crap phone have you been using man? i don't know any flag ship phone that dose that.

  • A device like iPod without phone;thin & light,6" high pixel density screen;only for browsing reading and gaming;probably new iPod?!

  • Does battery stay for a day does screen gets inactive while browsing or flickering while using WhatsApp

  • Ok thank you i will buy this phone and tell you my results

  • Yes you can turn off blink feed. I had it on for the first 2days then took it off. BTW. I don't like flip cases because I use my phone in a car mount as a nav unit. Waze is a great free app. But a flip case would only get in my way. I did buy a case but one with a kick stand for movie watching. And yes I have dropped my phone many times on the asphalt road with the case on, no problem.

  • Yes there are many flip covers for this phone. And 2 are even made by HTC. ONE is the HTC double dip flip and the other is the HTC POWER FLIP. It has an extended battery built-in to the flap to increase the power from 3300mAh to 4500mAh. It connects to the phones power supply using 3 pogo pins located on the back cover of the phone, so the USB port on the phone is still free. And

  • Can I disable the blinkfeed or no

  • Does this phone has a flip covers. Flip covers is important for me

  • Wooooooow 1.3 gb of ram is free awesome

  • Don't know if this will help you decide but when a start my phone and all apps and widgets that auto load are up and running, my used RAM is 680mb. the rest is free for what ever I want to open and run.

  • I can tell you it will play any game the note 3 will play with no lag. But I really don't know if the second game you have open in the background will not start over instead of continuing when you switch to it.

  • It has to do with how Android auto manage RAM and not actually the phone itself . depending on how much time passes with your game in the background, Android is going to close it and it will start over in the app switcher when you pick it again. It also has to do with how the game was programed. If a game has a pause options you have a better chance of it not closing when it's running in the background for an extended time (like fifa 2014 for e.g.)

  • But that is too low sometimes the game restarts

  • Quad core 1.4 1GB Ram I play clash of clans and boom beach all the time and i have to switch between them fast.

  • What is the speed of the CPU and how much RAM you have on the phone you doing that now on? Answer that and I'll be able to tell you. because I'm not going to install 2 games I don't know just to test that. I play fifa 2014 and can jump to viber and go back to my game, no problem.

  • Can i I open two medium games at the same times like clash of clans and boom beach ti switch between them?

  • This baby was made for media. I am heavy user of Netflix, tunein, and UTorren for downloading 1080P movie to watch on the phone. It's smooth, fast, detail picture quality and the best sound I have ever heard on a mobile. No ear buds needed to hear your show in a room that has other activities going on. Before this phone I had a SIII and I don't regret switching to HTC.

  • Games and media

  • aaaaah "it" not "if"

  • it on *if*

  • if will play games just fine.

  • Is it good phone Worth of money Htc one max ?

  • I just want to know if the htc one max perform games well or no.

  • You games will sound much better and louder on the MAX. The bigger screen will make a difference too. The bigger battery and efficient UI will give you more usage time with the MAX. Note3 will let you play outdoors in the SUN thanks to the Super AMOLED.

  • I want to buy a new phablet but i am confused between the htc one max and the Samsung galaxy note 3 my usage is not very high its average i think i play games like clash of clans, hayday, boom beach, and the only two heavy games is shadow gun and asphalt 8. Thanks in advance..

  • Plz reply only by Indian htc users does it has any screen display dead after 6 months does the screen freeze while playing games will the battery stay for 12 hrs of moderate usage is it worth purchasing now(2014) Coz it's huge investment so asking I want this phone coz look at phone specific , design , After 9 months old still gsmarena ranked this phone above 8 in performance plz htc company people or people who use htc one max reply trollers plz stay away thanks in advance for reply By htc one max lover

  • I really love this giant one but when its upgrade version will arrive???plZ reply...

  • I found the answer to your problem, just go to your app drawer and select the app 'people', then at the upper left most part of your screen, tick the 'Phonebook-Multiple Sources', a drop-down menu will appear, check the 'Facebook' from the list. Then try sending your greetings via htc calendar app. Hope this helps.

  • Wat is your error message?

  • Hi, guys. I have a bit of a problem after I updated to Sense 6. I'm currently using hTC One Max. I can no longer post a message using the hTC Calendar even though it is still in synch with Facebook. I always find it convenient in greeting my friends whenever it's their birthday via the hTC Calendar app. Now, I can no longer send a greeting using that app as there is an error. If anyone has a fix on this, can you please assist me? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

  • When you get to mobile network shearing you don't see the section I have highlighted in red? in the image mine is set to none, but if you tap it you have 3 more options.

  • i will tell you what appear with my max : setting > more > mobile network sharing > usb ( share this phone mobile network with a computer ) . so i dont have options for usb like you . what you advice now .

  • Go to Settings>more>mobile network sharing>USB network settings>pick 1 of the 4 options

  • Do both wipe cache partition & then factory reset.

  • hi anthony , please reply me for questions down . thank you for help .

  • You don't learn new things if you are not willing to try new things.

  • Come on..... It not hard. A 6 year old that could read could follow those instructions to wipe the cache and factory reset. Besides you are not doing it alone. I'm helping you.and if there is a step you don't understand or you are stuck on just ask a question.

  • LOL so sorry. Im too nerd to handle this problem. Cuz dont have any experience to handle by myself. Btw thx so much for your help anthony..

  • Dude, you just got an update. You want to know when you getting the next one already. LOL. All I was stating is... To avoid having to do a factory reset the next time you get a new ROM. Just wipe the cache partition but didn't factory reset, then do the OTA update as soon as you turn the phone on. That way your update will install without old junk stored in the cache partition getting in the way and over writing new files. If I'm confusing you just do all 10 steps any time you get a new ROM.

  • thanks. is there any problem if its running incomplete? when will the updated ROM will come out? is it comes with the same update of android version? is there any effect if i'm not updating the ROM? All the contact i already backup in my google account.

  • BTW do you have your contacts set to sync with Google? If not, you should set that up or you will loose them after the factory reset.

  • Yes! You have to do all steps 1-10 if you think you have a problem caused by updating your ROM. an in the future when a next ROM come out do steps 1-8 skip 9 and go to 10. Then do the ROM UPDATE. that allows ROMs to install with minimal problems.

  • Im clear with your explanation anthony. So i have to wipe the cache partition,then must to factory reset this phone right?

  • Hello?

  • hi guys , how can i connect my max with interet through my pc internet. because i dont found ant option for that . with my htc chacha i have two options ( connect htc with pc internet or connect pc with htc internet ) so with htc max i have one option that ( connect pc with max internet ) any one explain it for me please .

  • hi anthony ,i tried safe mode bt the problem still there , i asked shall i do factory reset or shall i do wipe cache partition because you said to imnazreen that ( The phone will now start like the first day you took it out the box but with the ROM you installed last.).please advice .

  • Ok. You have Asia model. And if you had it way back in February and you are now getting Android 4.4.2. Then most likely I'm not going to get sense 6 till the next Android update. my phone got Android 4.4.2 back in February before the M8 was launched. My # is 2.61.708.1 If you Google that # you will see it's Hong Kong. BTW. Did you clear the cache partition.

  • Im using this phone since february and my software no is 3.14.707.3 what is yours?

  • BTW what month you got your phone? And what is your software number now?

  • Steps to wipe cache partition & do a factory reset from Android System Recovery mode� To readers that don�t have a HTC ONE Max please note that to get into Android System Recovery mode, it�s different for different manufactures and some times models. 1. Go to settings >power 2. Turn off Fast boot. 3. Power off your phone. 4. Hold down �volume down� & power till the phone boots to the screen with the 3 Androids on skate boards. 5. Use the volume keys to navigate to �Recovery� 6. Press the power key. The phone will then reboot and you will see a ONE MAX with the RED warning logo on the screen. 7. Once there, hold �volume up� & press the power key. That will take you into the �Android system recovery� 8. Use the volume keys to navigate to �wipe cache partition� and press power key to enter. 9. Navigate to �wipe data/factory reset� & press power to enter. 10. Navigate to �reboot system now� & press power to enter. The phone will now start like the first day you took it out the box but with the ROM you installed last. Note: a. In the future do the �wipe cache partition� just before you download and install a new ROM, this way you will not have to do a factory reset to get rid of errors. b. Reson to keep �fast boot� on, when you not trying to get into Android recovery. Once you have a password on your phone, fast boot would make it impossible for the average thief to factory reset the phone by booting in to Android system recovery without knowing your password.

  • Can you teach me how to wipe the cache because i'm really new to use smartphones. Im using 4.4.2 got this around this month and install the sense 6 together. Im in Malaysia

  • You not going to know till you try the factory reset. And I'm thinking that is your problem as well. You should also do a wipe cache partition along with the factory reset. That is normal practice with ROM update problems. BTW. Which version of this phone do you have? What region? I'm still on 4.4.2 (got that in February) but haven't gotten sense 6. I have the Hong Kong model. Can you teach me how to wipe the cache because i'm really new to use smartphones. Im using 4.4.2 got this around this month and install the sense 6 together.

  • I have used this phone since this model was launched. With all specs it got i really impressed with all the performance. But since i updated to latest android version 4.4.2 and sense6 i hv a major problem on its battery. Takes 2 times full charging to use whole day and it really drain my battery. Some says that i must factory reset to hv the previous sense 5.5 seems its like unstable. Is it true to take that action or maybe there is some problem on my battery? Plz help.. -nazreen,malaysia

  • 3 more days before June is over and I still haven�t gotten the sense 6 update. Am I the only HTC ONE MAX international unlocked user that haven�t got the update? I have a Hong Kong model and my software version is 2.61.708.1 (Android 4.4.2) Did anyone with that version get updated pass that software version? Or am I do believe my model is really not going to get sense 6 till the next Android version update comes out for the ONE MAX.

  • Before you do a factory reset, if you want to know if your problem is being caused by an app you installed. You can boot your phone in save mode. Only apps that came with the phone will load in safe mode and you can test to see if you are still having the problem. To get into save mode, follow the steps below. 1. With the phone ONE press and hold the power key to bring up the power off menu. 2.press and hold power off in the menu till you get the reboot to safe mode menu. 3. Press restart. when it starts in safe mode test to see if you still have the dialer problem. If you don't it means it's a app you installed is causing the problem.

  • Do a factory reset. And reinstall your apps one at a time, testing the dialer after you install each one, to see which app is causing the problem.

  • i asked my htc customer service for that and they told me to replace the software by another one .

  • first i use the phone , there is no lag when dialing . but after i start put apps it become lag . when i press to dial no blue window frame appear and no sound for press ( not often but its lag )and about storage , my internal is 16 and im using about 6 , the external is 16 and im using about 2 .

  • you never updated your ROM and you have more than 10% of the internal storage free, so you should not be getting lag with the dialer. did it always do that or it started after you installed something?

  • i have about 10.0 GB.and the same on SDcard.

  • How much free space do you have on phone storage?

  • when im dialling the keyboard is slow and hanged but the phone in no hange when i use it . so what shall i do now . im still using android 4.3.

  • I never went for the wrong phone I only wanted an added advantage. Also I just discovered Handrite which satisfied my notes taking. I had galaxy note 2 but I never had any need for the s-pen any day.

  • This is the kind of stylus you have to buy for this phone. It's capacitive

  • This phone has a capacitive screen and no digitizer. You have to use you finger, capacitive gloves or capacitive stylus. Normal objects only work on phones with a resistive screen. And the pointy stylus are made to work with screens that have digitizers below, like the Samsung notes and touch screen windows PC's. There is no app to fix that. You just went for the wrong phone for what you want to do.

  • Can someone suggest me any 3rd party app for note taking that supports stylus or pencil or any other objects for writing? Scribble only supply finger. I want to write with objects.

  • HTC one max, awesome handset.. using it from past couple of months. Great design, good performance.. no speech about camera nd cannot compare wid any other smartphone.

  • I have HTC one mobile & it is under warranty.I have problem in Camera,heating & charging problem but service center says you have to pay Rs 15200/- for solve this problem.HTC service center generate my mobile bill & it have list of 17 items that should be repair but not a single item is under warranty but in this time my mobile is under warranty. HTC does not provide good service for HTC users. mobile no. +91-8527270571

  • Ways to copy files to SD CARD listed below. 1. Put card in USB card reader and connect to phone using a USB OTG cable 2. Connect the phone to a PC and use file explorer on the PC to do it. 3. If it is pictures/video use the copy command in the gallery app to do it. 4. If it is a file that can be opened by Polaris use the save as command. 5. If it a torrent, Utorrent will let you save to Ext_SD/Android/data/com.utorrent.client/files/Do­¬wnload And when you need to delete, the same as above applies.

  • Has anyone been able to copy files from internal memory to external sd card on kitkat? Some said astro file manager does it on m8 but I tried it on my one max but it didn't work.

  • How is the camera in comparism to HTC ONE ? Which one is better ?

  • How is the camera ??

  • It supports OTG but I don�t think it will support a 1TB drive because it has a USB2 port and if I�m not mistaken 1TB drives are USB3. so this phone is not going to push the needed power to run a drive like that.

  • Sounds like an update conflict, due to not having a clean cache partition when you updated. Just clear your Cache partition and factory rest. Read my post with time stamp 2014-03-09 14:10 to learn how to do it.

  • I decide to buy HTC One Max, may i know can it supports OTG pendrive or 1TB harddisk just like my friends one- Huawei X1 ?

  • I so see that if I unplug as soon as it reaches 100%. If I leave it to trickle charge for about 15min more. It will stay on a 100% for quite some time.

  • Hello friends! How to mean audio quality ,,crosstalk and noise.and which is better lower or higher db.

  • I cant get my front camera to work...:( any solutions?? Downloaded some photo apps...and they say: u have no front camera...:( back camera works great...but this happened after update to 4.3

  • Correction. I ment old drivers from 4.3

  • Read old post with time stamp 2014-05-31 16:40 and 2014-05-31 15:29 to understand why you need to do both if you didn't to the cache partition wipe first.

  • The reset alone is not enough. Old drivers from 4.4.2 is still in your cache partition. Why can't you follow the instructions on the post I gave you the date for? What step you don't understand?

  • I also have the same problem at times were the battery will discharge from 100% to about 96% immediately I unplug charger. But it's not big issue for me. However. I use snapdragon battery guru and also du battery saver combined. Generally my battery is okay.

  • So should I just do a factory reset now since I don't know how to do cache partitioning?

  • hi guys i have problem with my battery life , when i fully recharge it with 100 % and get the charge out of mobile it then 100% drope to 95% without calling or playing anything . so is that normal with you ? and now im using battery doctor apps from play store , so can any one help me and advice if that apps usefull or harmfull to my battery and how the app last the battery life ?

  • Ok. The instructions to wipe the cache partition and do a factory reset is in my post time stamped 2014-03-09 14:10 You have to do both as you didn't do the cache partition wipe before the ROM update. and when you are done, turn back on fast boot.

  • Yes I choosed always on and not 5 or 10 minutes in advance settings

  • Just to be clear to me, you set always on in the advance settings of hotspot not battery as you told me before?

  • I did set it to always on. Someone mentioned cache partition. I updated to kitkat but didn't do anything like cache partitioning first. How do they do that?

  • Yes, i already turned back on the fastboot, thanks for the reminder. And guess what, you will love the sense 6 on one max! There is a extreme power saving mode too. Unfortunately some notable gesture features of the sense 6 on the m8 are not included on our update. I love that they allow us to change the system font and i already install a tons of available in playstore. Hehe.. the flat design looks of the new sense is very welcoming in the eyes. The blink feed is great but i wish they stick to freeze the clock and the weather there when scrolling the news feeds. There is no addtional filemanager however. I love the fact that you can get to update the blink feed, gallery and sense tv through the playstore in the sense 6. All in all, everything is awesome in the sense 6. The look and feel are a big jump from sense 5.5.

  • Try this and let me know if it works. 2 finger swipe into quick settings>turn on WiFi hotspot>tap the 3 dots by the switch(it should take you to settings)> Tap the 3 dots in there (top right corner)>tap ADVANCED>tap power mode and set to always on.

  • Maybe your PC is not continuously using the connection like Netflix would. So it's going off after the default power time of 10min has past. Going to drive now, will post how to turn that off when I stop again.

  • I know it's not a problem with the ROM because my daughter tablet has no connection problems with this phone. So you have to try and find out what is turning it off on your phone. What apps do you have installed? Did you ever do a ROM update? if so, did you clear the cache partition first?

  • I thought I get it but it still turned off

  • Okay thanks. I think it will not switch off again. I simply want to settings, power and then turn off sleep mode.

  • I don't even switch on power saving mode but hotspot still switch off on it's own

  • If using it as a hotspot for your PC. You may want to use USB tethering instead. So you don't run down your phone battery. for the problem you are having you need to turn off power saver mode or if you want to leave it on, go into its setting and uncheck data connection. because it putting your data connection to sleep when your screen goes off.

  • I use the phone as a hotshot and browse on my computer. But WiFi hotshot switch off automatically after some minutes.

  • Are you trying to have WiFi hotspot and WiFi ON at the same time? if that's the mistake you are making, it can't be done. Choose 1. You want to make your phone into a hotspot or you want to use WiFi to get internet on your phone. You can't do both.

  • Why does WiFi hotshot switch off automatically when I switch it on. I can't even get connected for up to 5 minutes before it will switch off.

  • I'm rushing the month... June has 2 more weeks :)

  • Don't forget to turn fast boot back on after you have completed everything

  • Once you clear the cache partition from the boot loader menu you should be fine. As for me June still has one more week. LOL

  • At least we know that HTC is sending the sense 6 updates for the international version of one max. I believe they are seeding the updates per region and it wont take long until your phone gets an update. Maybe next week you'll receive it. Im planning to update my phone now, i will just clear first the cache memory before doing so as you instructed on your previous comments.

  • Not yet for the Hong Kong model :'(

  • Yeahbaaah! HTC sense 6.0 also available in the Philippines. At long last! How about yours Anthony?

  • Waaaoooo! Htc sense 6 available in india todays,thanks htc

  • For users of Android 4.4.2 UTorrent now supports save to EXT SD in its app folder Ext_SD/Android/data/com.utorrent.client/files/Do­wnload (and you can make your personal folder from that point, from inside the UTorrent app)

  • As I have a Hong Kong region ONE MAX I contacted them about the sense 6 update. This is the reply I got via email...Thank you for contacting HTC! Regarding your inquiry HTC One Max issue, we would like to provide you with following advice and solution as below: Thanks for interesting in HTC Sense 6. However, at this point in time, we don't have the update news for HTC One Max to HTC Sense 6. Please be assured that we have recorded your info and will contact you directly once any update released. While our goal is to bring the latest software updates to as many of our recent devices as possible, we are committed to maintaining every phone's performance and usability first. And whether the phone could be compatible with the higher version is still under restrict tests and researches, please stay tuned for updates on specific device upgrade plans. Thanks again for your support.

  • OTA mean Over The Air When you get updates directly to your device from the internet that is OTA. You can also get updates using the PC sync software. One of the major things is that not all versions get updated the same time (and there are also times when some versions just don�t get an update for reasons I don�t know). That�s why most people are asking about versions of the international right now. Other than that, depending on where it was made, internal parts manufacture may be different and the drives are a bit different to match that. (that is why some say the ONE camera has a purple tint and others don�t) Some may have apps that support a service that is only available in some countries and in other versions they have had features taken out for legal reasons. And then there is the default language. E.g I have a Hong Kong phone, when I factory reset it doesn't come up in English. I always have to bump around in setting and change it. But for the most part all the international factory unlocked versions are all the same.

  • anthony what dose OTA mean? & what dose international version differences have?

  • hi guys my Product: htc_europe Should I received sense 6?

  • my build fingerprint in the Device Info app by JPHILLI85 in the playstore is..... htc_asia_hk. what is your build?

  • Htc one max much better, but only camera quality is 1520 better. Both are very good.

  • Hi, Can you download the app "DEVICE INFO" and tell me your "PRODUCT" version. Mine is htc_asia_wwe. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Hi frnds I wanna buy a phablet I want some suggestions which 1 shld I buy?HTC one Max or Lumia 1520

  • The international version

  • one max international version

  • Good phone but hot while charging...overall gud phone

  • Really? Which one max you have?

  • Hello dearsi recieved sense 6

  • I�m waiting just like you. Some time back I read it was going to be in June. And the Verizon phones that didn�t get 4.4.2 earlier this year got it. There are still 24 more days for that to be true for the rest of us. If we don�t get it in June then I don�t think people who got 4.4.2 update with sense 5.5 before the sense 6 came out is going to get it till HTC release 4.4.3 with sense 6. 4.4.3 is already seeding on the google play versions of HTC phones, so it�s sounds pointless for them to be wasting time still working on putting out sense 6 on 4.4.2 for phones that already go 4.4.2 earlier this year. Cross your fingers it comes this month or be prepared to wait on it in a 4.4.3 update later on.

  • anthony? when sense 6 has bring for my phone? do u know?

  • Confused? LOL, why? The Desire 816 has� Below 300 pixel density screen and the screen is smaller No gorilla Glass Only 8gb of internal store on a 4.4.2 OS that restricts EXT SD card 3rd party apps write access. Less RAM (will affect speed and how many apps that can run in background) Slower CPU & GPU Slower data speeds Speakers nowhere as laud or clear Smaller battery And that�s just the basics of an overall view when you compeer them�.

  • is this phone better or desire 816 on the overall as I`m confused ??

  • Yes it is normal and logical. When you lunch an app most time (if not all the time) it runs no sub-programs (also known as "packages") But Android system on this phone when I checked is running 22 packages. That's like 23 apps running under 1 name. Google play service has 5 packages so that's like 6 apps running under 1 name. You can check it your self by taping the logo of the app you want to check under usage in the power settings.

  • hi my dear anthony my battery usage show me that android system use my battery more than 85% is it normal? most of battery belong to android system !!???

  • Please note the after the 4.4.2. Update you can still set messages, internet downloads, voice recorder, Bluetooth & Camera to default save files to the EXT SD by going to settings>storage>storage settings.

  • That is also correct. There is a write restriction on all downloaded apps. Not the apps that come with the ROM. So to move apps you do it from settings. (that came with the phone) To move videos and pictures you use gallery (it came with the phone) To move documents you use polaris (it came with the phone) If it can't be moved/delete/create/paste by a app that came with the phone. You will have to connect to a PC and you the file explorer on the PC to do it. Or you would have to put your card in a reader and connect it to the phone using a USB OTG cable. (the restriction only applies to downloaded app wanting edit access to the SD CARD slot) File managers have to be downloaded, so the card slot edit access applies to them as well.

  • Thanks , but some friends told me that After they update to kitkate , they can not transfer data from internal to external memory?

  • Yes you can move apps to EXT SD after update to kitkat but it�s kind of pointless if you only doing it to save space. Using fifa 14 as an example On EXT SD look at the reading below. TOTAL 1.83gd App 1.32gb SD card app 36.59mb Data 487mb SD card data 0.00b When it�s all on internal storage look at the reading below. Total 1.81gb App 1.33gb SD Card app 0.00b Data 487mb SD card data 0.00b

  • Can I Move the App from internal to SD after update to kitkate ?

  • I have taken better photos with camera kk than the stock camera. Try it out. Download the free version from play store. Let us share ideas

  • Are you sure its better than stock camera. Htc one max user.

  • Camera kk seems to be the best 3rd party camera app for htc one. It produces the best quality photos for htc one. The image sizes is also larger say between 1.5 to 2.5mb. Anyone tried it?

  • Dears, Any advice about google play services battery drain???

  • If you did a proper backup and logged into the same accounts. The items that was backup should have been restored when you went online. Log into Gmail from a PC and go to contacts and see if you are seeing your contacts with there phone #s. If you don't see them there, you didn't setup you contact to sync an only had it stored on the phone. So you lost it when you did the reset.

  • yes. same gmail account. backup was HTC account. my play store acc is same with other too.

  • When you decided to backup your phone from settings you would have done it to a cloud account. Did you log back into the same account? was the backup made to a Google or HTC Account? Did you use the same email address and password to log in to the account. Remember you were not to be making a new account but logging into the account you already back up to. And did you setup you playstore account with the same email address and password? Because you should have a backup of contacts on Google as well.

  • hi my dear friend. I take backup with htc account before restart factory. after that battery become awesome like before.its more than 1 hour using, but battery percentage going up & dw between 25%-30%. now i want restore my staff with backup that taken before. in backup & reset in setting: in backup history, last backup it saved (last backup 2014/6/1 12:35). after restart factory in last back saved nothing & write(none). now i lost all of my friends number & the messages & the files have saved in my internal space. anyway, now i cant install apk files. when tap a apk file this appeared can't open file!

  • You should also known leaving GPS ON drains the battery crazy fast. Read the post with time stamp. 2014-05-27 17:44

  • Understand this once you flash your ROM chip with new ROMs-oftware the old ROMs is completely removed from the chip. All that is left of the old ROMs is what ever that was in the cache partition at the time you did the ROM chip flash. Because of this, there is no way in hell doing a factory reset can restore the OLD ROMs on your ROM chip. So as far as you hardware knows it came from the store with 4.4.2 on it. So it important to clean to old rubbish out of the cache partition that don't belong to the ROMs that is on your ROM chip.

  • Yes you can remove your SD card but your games are not saved to the CARD. And your save points are not on the SD card. And the factory reset I mentioned in the instructions will not wipe your card, only the internal storage. But if you want you can remove the CARD anyway. If you setup your contacts with the Google account that would be backed up online along with your calendar. Your paid apps would be saved with your play store account And you can go to settings>storage>storage settings. And things there to SD. You can the HTC sync app to backup more to your PC.

  • yes :D Can i removed the SD card before I do restart factory?& then put it again? & i want to my android version stay 4.4.2 & don't want going back to the last version. & after that is the battery response become better? before i charged it 2 days once, but now i charged every night.

  • yes! :D but i dont want to lost my files!!! can i removed the SD Card before wipe cache & restart factory? & i want the android version stay on 4.4.2 without any update after doing the way u suggest!

  • Is this your first Android phone?

  • Yes it is best practices. And clearing the cache partition takes seconds to do. with no danger to anything of importants to you, as the cache partition only holds old data for quick access by the RAM chip. So you cam have faster response times from your RAM & CPU By making the assumption that the data didn't change so it can quickly retrieve it on demand. Problem is when you do an update to any app the driver data did change and that means the information in the cache is outdated. Clearing the cache partition allows the system to write a new data into it when apps open for the first time and it has no information stored in the cache for that app already. So even updating apps from the play store without uninstalling the old app first will benefit from a cache partition wipe, especially when those updates had bug fixes in them. So wipe the cache partition before doing updates when you can. But you only need to do the wipe cache & factory reset when you have software problems and want to start over like out of the box.

  • Wow So before of each update i must removed the cache!?

  • Your files would be removed, because of the factory reset you have to do. But a clean installation of 4.4.2 would be what you see on first star because you already flashed your ROM chip with 4.4.2 and by clearing the cache partition, no old 4.3 drivers would be restored in the same folder with 4.4.2 drivers, which is what causes conflicts and odd behavior. Normally to get a conflict free upgrade of a ROM chip you only have to clear the cache partition just before the upgrade, which will not delete your personal data. But because you didn't clear the cache first, you have have to factory reset to get rid of conflicts that have already been created.

  • hi anthony , sorry for this mistake i was ask about 4.3 not 4.4.2 as you asked me before but my hand write it by wrong . i tryed my max with chacha but i cant peer them together because chacha with 2.2 and it hasnot wifi direct so i will try with any device which has wifi direct on it like 4.3 or 4.4.2 .

  • So when i do that, my files & everything will remove. Even android will go to last version. Am i say right?

  • I post detail steps before on clearing the cache partition and doing the factory reset from there for a next user of this phone. You can take a read of that. If you have any problems just say. If you get stuck, just say by which part. The post you are looking for has the time stamp 2014-03-09 14:10

  • Hi Thank u bro. Pls explain how can i do it!?

  • Only thing I can suggest is to go to the booth loader and clear your cache partition. Then do a hard reset from there. Reason for this is something old files from your previous ROM is kept in the cache and then loaded back to the system after the first start after your the ROM install. That can cause conflicts which one of the side effects can be fast battery drain amongst other things. If you don't know how to get into the booth loader, just ask.

  • Hi My battery response has been reduced. Every nights i charged it with normal use. I have power flip but looklike its become useless. I buy it because of its awesome battery. Before battery use was very good. When i using my phone like playing real racing3,its really become worm. Before didn't happen. When this happened that i update to kitkat version. Give me some ways to improve my battery usage. I use power saving, low brightness, use power flip case,removed most of apps that i think used battery. Thanks.

  • Mostafa i wanna buy this mobile but what about it tell me plz

  • @ Mostafa Gad, you are killing me :( If you can remember, I asked you to test it on 4.3 because it�s not working in 4.4.2 and I wanted to know if it was working in 4.3. Did you try using (Wifi Direct) in 4.3 at all as i asked you to? There are ways other people try with installing the same transfer app on both phones but I want a universal solution (one where I don�t need to install a app or I only need to install the app on my phone) because I not going to be asking random people to install apps on their phone so I will be able the send files quickly. HOW WIFI DIRECT SHOULD WORK If you want to send a file over wifi direct. Both parties would turn it ON (settings>Wi-Fi>Menu>Wi-Fi Direct) then pair there devices. Then you just have to pick the file you wanted to send and pick wifi direct from the file share menu. And that�s it, the file would start sending when the other person accepts. It is reaching as far a pairing on the ONE MAX with 4.4.2 and I�m getting an error when I try to send or receive.

  • hi anthony , can you please tell me how to send file via WIFI on 4.4.2 , explain me the steps plz ?

  • Post with time stamp 2114-05-27 17:44 continued Power saving mode. This can be left ON most of the time once you tweak it to your needs. 2 finger swipe the notification bar to bring up quick settings. Turn power saving OFF Tap the 3 dots next to it, to go into the settings. Check the items you want to use. (For work reasons I left data connection unchecked) then turn the power saving mode ON. As for screen brightness on the quick settings, ever time to tap it, it changes. I find just one blue make is all I need for everyday use. And in a dark room I can go with zero blue marks.

  • 3 main things to look at when your battery is draining fast in this phone. GPS settings, power saving mode settings & screen brightness level. GPS this sucks battery like a vampire so you want this one to be set up correctly. Before I got this phone I had a SIII and that only had 2 GPS modes OFF and ON. This phone has a lot of gray areas when it comes to GPS settings and it took some experimenting to understand it fully. There is (high accuracy, battery saving, Device Sensors & OFF) and any of those modes can be set to the on & off position. And each one of the modes use a different amount of power. Start by setting the mode for the off toggle. 2 finger swipe the notification bar to bring up the quick settings. Turn GPS OFF, if it is ON. Then tap the 3 dots for the GPS settings, it should take you to the Location settings. Once you want apps to have access to location information no matter if the toggle is set to OFF or ON in the quick settings (e.g weather, fb and camera) the toggle should be on, in the top/right corner. All app don�t need a spot on GPS location so the mode should be set to Battery saving. (This will allow app that ask for GPS information when the GPS toggle is OFF in the quick settings to get the location using the battery saving method.) If you want no app to get any kind of location data when the toggle is set to OFF in the quick settings, then set the toggle in the top/right of location to off. Once you have completed setting up how you want the GPS quick settings toggle to function when in the OFF position, 2 finger swipe the notifications bar again and turn ON the GPS toggle. With it ON tap the 3 dots again and go into the location settings again. This time you are settings the Mode for when it is ON. If you don�t use NAV apps you can set the ON position mode to Battery saving. But if use NAV apps you have to set it to High accuracy or Device sensors. Once you have set this up you should have no need to go in the settings again and just you the toggle in the quick settings to which between the modes you set for toggle off and toggle on. Keep in mind that only navigation apps need high accuracy or device sensors. All other apps that need location data will work just fine in battery saving mode. (so I have my battery saving mode set to toggle off) And if you are super paranoid then set toggle OFF to have location OFF altogether. That will save the most power. To be continued�.

  • hi anthony . i will try to send afile throwgh wifi and tell you the result . also im happy that we feedback with each other by any issue we need .

  • Sorry that rooting message was not intended for you. It was intended for Raaj Mangat and I tried to correct myself in the message I posted after. I�ll get back to you a bit latter About the battery. i have work to rush out. Could you do me a favour before you update? Could you check and see if you can send a file to a next phone using wifi direct. Because it�s not working in 4.4.2 some people say they got it working with downloaded software.

  • sorry anthony , what do you mean by rooting , can you explain more for me as i dont know what rooting mean .another thing is that i dont have EXT SDcard till now so i dont have problem with 4.4.2 and i think i can deal with it after updating for example i will use my htc manager on PC to handle any issue with the card . please remember to mention my battery complaint or its early to judge on it and i have to try more . note that i dont use power saver to know how much the battery will live with me .

  • Ok, Sir

  • The message just before was intended for you. If your friend didn't turn back on fast boot yet. Go back in the booth loader and clear the cache partition. Then hard reset again.

  • Did it ever boot after rooting?

  • Don't rush to update. There is a new SD card write restriction down side(security update). Read up on it and see if you can live with it first. The sense 6 update is not out yet, so you don't have to rush.

  • Hello guys,todays my friends device (one max) is not boot after hard reset.why! My friends device is rooted. Any idea.

  • hi guys , i got my one max two days ago but i found two things 1- the battery life time is too short ( it can wait one day for medium use ) 2- htc ask me to update for 4.4.2 and i ask for start updating or wait or if there is any precautions just tell me plz , so what about the battery life and if i update to 4.4.2 it will run well ?

  • Thankss,ponjap.

  • Hi Raaj Manat, You should also install the xender on your desire phone then open the app for both phones then choose one device that will 'create the group' and the other device to 'join the group' then you're ready to go.

  • Hi Raaj Manat, You should also install the xender on your desire phone then open the app for both phones then choose one device that will 'create the group' and the other device to 'join the group' then you're ready to go.

  • Doesn't that app require both devices to be connected to the same network using a router? Real WiFi direct should work without the need for a router. That's why it's called direct. It's supposed to be like Bluetooth but using the WiFi radio instead.

  • You can also download superbeam pro for this

  • It was wasn't me that spoke about xender. It was Ponjap, I didn't even look for that program.

  • Hello Anthony,i am install xender on one max,my second phone is desire u,how to connectivity with Wi-Fi direect.plz reply. Thanks Brother.

  • Wi-Fi direct don't work on this phone and online HTC Tec help are clueless about the matter. If you ever get it working the way it should please come back and tell me how.

  • O wifi direct. yes. HTC total screwed it up. it will pear but will always fail to send or receive. i notice this some time back and the HTC online tec help was no help at all. feeding me some crap abut wifi direct is not for sending files. it your using a special type of internet. LOL what he was smoking i would like to know.

  • Hi there, You can use a third party application to use this feature on one max. The name of the app is "XENDER", however, you will not find it on Playstore. You must google the apk file and install it on your phone. Though to be able to use this, the app needs to be installed on the other device as well. Once you're done, you can transfer an mp3 file for like one (1) second only! You can transfer any file on your storage with this app.

  • I want to trasfer files using wifi direct instead of nluetooth thats all

  • I'm having problems understanding what you are saying/asking. Do you want to send files using Bluetooth but having problems or are you asking if there is a next option besides Bluetooth?

  • I'm having problems understanding what you are saying/asking. Do you want to send files using Bluetooth but having problems or are you asking if there is a next option besides Bluetooth?

  • Look from the first time and i activated the screen shoot u send and the led didn't work and about file transfer i want to transfer data file of games and also to transfers files from the max device as the simple using of bluetooth connectivity

  • For the LED you have to go to settings>Display>notification light. See screen shot @ link below To transfer files from your Note 2 You need to install the HTC transfer tool on your Note 2. It can be found in the play store.

  • Hi Anthony, Yes i am talking about file transfers from note 2 to the one max only bluetooth And for led light notification as i told you only while charging red and green no light for others like missed calls emails Etc.,,

  • @ Mxfx Compared to the note2 the LED functions on the phone is very basic. It not multi color, only orange and (green on a full charge.) to see what you can turn on or off the LED for, go to settings> Display>notification light. as for file transfer, are you talking about a file manager?

  • Your confused badly sapphire is not a display technology, so you can ask or say it is better than LCD or AMOLED. It's a display "cover material", a.k.a the (screen) It's an alternative to gorilla glass and has nothing to do with the IPS LCD (that Apple use), LCD, LCD3 or AMOLED display. So your question should be, is a sapphire screen stronger than a gorilla glass screen? Because gorilla glass is what Apple use to cover there retina display now and plan to switch to sapphire. But it's still going to be using a IPS LCD display under the sapphire screen.

  • How to mean sapphire displays,its better than slcd3 or amoled.

  • If you are having exposure problem in daylight pictures, use the exposure lock. That's what it's for. Take your finger and hold it on your subject till the AF an AE lock comes on then take the picture by taping the shutter. A next trick is to use a next object of similar distance and better contrast to set you AF and AE lock. Then reposition the camera to the subject you want to take . And take out the picture. Download the PDF user manual for your phone and learn how to use the features properly.

  • Thanks. Now I can use that camera if ever I need to do photo sphere and lens blur. Later I'll take a landscape with both camera software and post the link. You tell me which is which if you can.

  • But there's an app in Google play called Google Camera. Is that app better than the stock camera in photo quality?

  • improvements to the Camera will come in the sense 6 upgrade. the Android 4.4.2 upgrade was just an upgrade to Android it self. and has nothing to do with HTC added software. the ONE MAX is not using a pure Android camera so nothing changed on it. the big changers that people want is in the sense 6 update (that is not out just yet). not the android only update that was realest.

  • There is a security restriction written into kitkat by google. That in simple terms basically says� No downloaded app is allowed to edit data on an EXT SD CARD, unless the data being edited is in the default folder of the installed downloaded app. The rule only applies to the EXT SD. Internal SD and USB OTG do not have the restriction. This is how the restriction will affect you. The ONE line of phones do not come with a file manager app. You manage pictures and video from the gallery, and you manage downloads from the download interface. You manage documents from within polaris office 5 If you need a file manager for any reason. You have to download one. And it will fall under the rule. As a file manager has no default folder on the EXT SD it can�t edit anything on the EXT SD. That means no past/mover/delete/ create new . it you have a app you download to password protect files. Its not going to work on files on the EXT SD In short any think that did not come with the phone can�t do any edit function to the EXT SD CARD. It has nothing to do with HTC, it is that way for all Android 4.4.2 phones. Only apps that comes with the phone has full access. Downloaded apps only have full read access and limited write access to SD. So I have to manage files with what came with the phone. Or connect to a PC and use the My computer on the PC to make the changes on the EXT SD. And all was add that what good in the update was. Cloud printing and additional Bluetooth support. No need to rush for that. Lol The sense 6 update is what I think everyone will want and will have to live with the restriction then. No need to deal with that right away.

  • i gave a link to 3 pictures i took. did you even look at it?

  • i answered that already dude you need to go down the page when you ask a question the first time to see if it was answered.

  • But Anthony the HTC one Max is aluminum so it will heat faster than the note 3.. Give me your comment about this. (^_-) and thank you very much.......

  • Thank you Anthony I will buy this phone but the worst thing in the mobile is its camera

  • Why don't upgrade to kit Kat??????? (^o^)

  • Did kitkat improve camera quality?

  • Why don't upgrade to kit Kat??????? (^o^)

  • My day light photos are always very dark and some are so dark that you can not very recognize who is in the photo. This camera is so bad compared to my wife's Samsung note 2

  • Actually the camera is amazing, believe it or not, it's like the iPhone camera, maybe even better, it has ultrapixel technology, which means multiply the 4 megapixel times 4, which is 16, so technically it's 16 megapixel I have the htc one and this one is almost the same as mine (amazing phone!)

  • If you do buy this phone. Don�t rush to upgrade it to 4.4.2 Do some research on the new Android 4.4.2 EXT SD security write restriction and see if it is something you can live with first. Updating is not going to give your sense 6 because the update is not available yet. It is reported to be coming in June.

  • Btw. The 3 pictures were to test� 1. how good it could take a pic of a person that was not standing still, when I�m not standing still.(need to know if I could use it as a backup camera at my child�s events) 2. How much detail it could see (it�s a picture of my jeans pants leg. 3.How much detail it could see on a small object. Used my finger tip to test that.

  • The camera may not be the standard of a DSLR but it not horrible The link below is to test pictures I took when I was now testing what it could do when I just got this phone. Let me know what you think.

  • Thank you Anthony I will buy this phone but the worst thing in the mobile is its camera

  • Quite the opposite. It's aluminum so it disperses heat from the different chips faster than plastic can. It's also thicker in the center where the chips are. In addition no matter which one you pick you should put it in A TPU case with the edge lip. Because gorilla glass is still glass. It's not crack proof. Don't be fooled by the hype.

  • Does the HTC one Max have heating problems??????? ..... ^_^

  • But Anthony the HTC one Max is aluminum so it will heat faster than the note 3.. Give me your comment about this. (^_-) and thank you very much.......

  • If you want a detailed answer, start by giving some details to work with. HTC ONE......M7 or M8? why are you looking at these 3 phones, what are your interest in them? What are the important things to you in a smart phone? What are your deal breakers? What Android phone you had before? The more info you give the better the response you will get. Because with the info you want me to work with i'm going to say "inni mini mieni mo"

  • Go for the htc one max

  • If you like premuin feel go for the htc one gold 32gb i used this phone about 4 month is extreamly fast and you would like it. If you like large phone that every single person asked you about your device than go for one max that i used nowadays and i will never sold it any more battery life last easy for 2 days speaker sound are amazing better than the normal one . And if you like taking great photo go for desire 816 that have best camera of these two other phone with midle size of the three

  • i had NOTE 1, its completely dead today so i have to purchase a new one ASAP HTC one MAX OR NOTE 3 ????

  • anthoni plz can u help me what should i buy from htc htc one 4g 32GB Gold htc one mak 16GB Silver htc desire 816 and tell me why plz help me

  • For the chronic gamer check out the official extended batterycase. The battery is built into the lid that covers the screen. But it connects to the phone's internal battery via the 3 pogo pins in the back of the phone. So the Usb port stays free. The case charges when you are charging the phone so you don't have to charge it independently. No external extended battery on the market is as slim as this. it looks as thick as a regular flip case

  • I'm not really a gamer. All I have on my phone when it comes to games is candy crush and Fifa 14 and I can't remember when last a played any of them. Both phones you are looking at would have no problem with games but below are my personal reasons i think you should go with the MAX as a gamer. 1. Noticeably Bigger screen to enjoy the graphics and controls. 2. Clearer and louder sound to hear the action without headphones. 3.the SENSE UI is not a CPU and RAM hug like touchwiz so more should be free for your games. 4. Bigger battery, plus the UI and display technology is not a battery vampire like touchwiz and super AMOLED. So you should have more play time. my reasons are based on logic and the use of the SIII and HTC ONE MAX. I have never used the note 3 but the complaints about touchwiz seem to be the same no matter what Samsung phone you use. So if others feel differently about my opinion, feel free to say why.

  • Anthony this the last question. You suggest me to buy note 3 (N9005) or htc one max. I play games like dead trigger 2 and asphalt 8 and modern combat 4. Thank you very much for helping me.

  • I could only do a comparison with the SIII, which I used for 2 years before. The response time of this phone (ONE MAX) makes the SIII feel like a snail. I won't say zero lag because I think that's impossible for any phone but I'll describe it as 0.01 lag. LOL.

  • The phone lags or no

  • Yes. It's going to come with sense 6 when SENSE 6 is hopefully released for it on time in June. Then you'll have no choice. But right now kitkat is still coming with sense 5.5 and the benefits not worth the EXT SD restrictions. So no rush to upgrade right now. Unless you need cloud printing, and have a Bluetooth device that is not working with your phone on Android 4.3. There is no change to the interface or added apps.

  • If you want sense 6.0 then I think you most upgrade to kitkat first. I'm I right?

  • Yo. I already answered you earlier today. Do you need to get the same answer from some other person?

  • Yes I do. Just over 3 months. and it's my primary phone. Not a unit I was given to test. I have posted a lot, so you can just go back and read. Your questions most likely have already been answered.

  • Any one answer me can I upgrade the phone from htc sense 5.5 to 6.0 and from jelly bean to kitkat??????????? ???????? ????.....

  • Do you own this phone Anthony

  • Any one own this phone answer me please. Can I upgrade the phone to kitkat and htc sense 6.0 Thanks

  • Does this phone is dual sim one of them is working on 4G? or its 2 versions (dual sim 3G) and (single Sim 4G)? please any user advise

  • Yes the kitkat update it available now. But in my personal opinion you are better off not doing it because of the new kitkat security that restricts the write access of download app to the EXT SD. SENSE 6 has been promised by HTC but that is not till June, so you will have to wait and see if it is delivered on time or not.

  • Can I upgrade it to kitkat and htc sense 6.0

  • Do you really think the M8 prime is the MAX 2? I really hope not. With a 5.5 inch screen, it's not very "MAX" I hope its just a M8 revision (M8s lol) and not the upgrade for the T6.

  • Wait for m8 prime(htc one max2).its allready 18mp camera. With s806 processor.

  • The one I got had... OUTPUT : 5v-1.5A and the HTC logo on it.

  • hi friend i bought this phone a week ago(used for 3 month not brand new) battery life is amazing last easy for 3 days in normal usage but i have a question the charger that i have is INPUT : 200mah OUTPUT : 5v-1A is that the original one that come with this device ?? because it take from 5% to 100% 3 hours to recharge

  • If this phone had a better camera I would have bought it today. But sad for htc, I have chosen the huawei ascend nate 2

  • Thanks dear friend.

  • Maybe it's the screen protector. It's interfering with the ability of the capacitive screen to detect the electrical signature of your (live) touch. It's already weak by passing through a style, so adding the screen protector to the equation is making the electrical signature that much weaker. Use your finger or remove the screen protector.

  • Hello friends, i am using htc one max with screen protector.my styles is not work properly,any idea friends.

  • I just contacted HTC support about getting a default file manager on the ONE MAX for the Android 4.4.2 ROMs because if the EXT SD write restriction on downloaded apps. And was surprised that the rep didn�t know anything about the problem and had to look it up. I am of the opinion if more owners of this phone write them about getting a default file manager, we will get one as an update. Come on guys, do your part and write HTC asking for this.

  • really????!!!! ahhhhhhh!!! GOD! why is it like this? as u say i must crying!!! :( i cant attach SD card in & out of my phone all of the time!! Disappointed update!!! anyway, thank u so much for ur guide !!!! good luck!

  • You can't do anything but cry any say "why o why did I updated to kitkat before reading up on the changes first." That is one of the security updates of kitkat on all brand phones. No downloaded (3rd party app) is allowed write access to the EXT SD. only apps that came with the ROM can write to the EXT SD. E.g. camera, gallery, Polaris, bluetooth, voice recorder, default email app, default download app. (file managing must be done from within the app. Work Around If you want to manage your EXT SD from a 3rd party explorer, you have to put your card in a card reader and connect it to the phone using a USB OTG cable. Or you can also manage it by connecting to a PC and use file explorer on the PC. this is something I commented on a lot before in this forum. To bad you didn't read it before you updated. If only there was a way to force HTC to make a default file manager for this phone as Samsung did on there phones. If you want to do file

  • hi guys. i have a problem!!! since I've upgraded my os to kitkat, my microSD memory become useless. I cant copy or paste files in & out of SD Card. what can i do? thanks.

  • Do you have a T-Mobile MAX or did you root your phone?

  • There was a posting some time back that suggested international ONE MAX would get it in June. So be patient :)

  • I still have 4.3 in my one max :/

  • Htc one 7 available sense 6 in today,but not available in one max,any idea friends!

  • Battery life is amazing in this device I cant kill it in 1 day even if i stress hard on the device and last 3 days on normal use Sound quality and volume perfect Camera excellent Size of this device so beautifull , "when you own this device you can understand what i mean " every single person ask me what is that beautifull monster !!!

  • #115,000...

  • Pls can some one tell me the price of HTC one max in 9ja

  • God you people need to get out more

  • @ r3He Don�t take my comments as an attack directed at you as it is far from it. but In the age of the internet any one can download a user manual and know what features and specs a phone has. But that doesn't help with giving the reader any idea of how the real world user experience is. And that is what I�m asking you about, not what I can read in a PDF. You gave your views about the screen and camera but how does the rest that I can�t read in the PDF compeer? I read the PDF for the ONE MAX (every page) before I got one. But after using it I can say the PDF don�t tell you a lot of things I found out on my own. (Most I liked, some I didn�t)

  • Not arguing (?) Means question. You recommend going for note 3 based on your use of note 2 and MAX. I ran from Samsung because of touchwiz and audio quality on SIII for 2 years and a few minutes on S5. As I don't recommend a phone just on a camera and screen alone but overall performance, could you answer the questions as you are using both note ll and MAX? but if you don't feel like answering that's ok too because I'm satisfied with my change away from Samsung till they make some major software and hardware changes.

  • Do not deceive people to buy the wrong thing. Search different review and you will so you are among the few claiming max is better. Even you have not checked gsmarena review of max and note3. Clear ignorance from your face.

  • Max is good but dont compare it with note3.

  • htc one max is way better than my old note 3

  • Maybe you want to say that camera on max is better than on note 2. You didn't know what is specs in a phone

  • You said you upgraded from note. Samsung galaxy note is different from Samsung galaxy note 2

  • Man you don't know anything in a phone in less than 24 hours of usage. Go and sit down.

  • Man your wrong i upgrade from note yesterday to the one max Totaly better the one max in every single specs

  • Man your wrong i upgrade from note yesterday to the one max Totaly better the one max in every single specs

  • The question I answered is which screen is better. Which I said is note 2. I you want to know more about the difference between note 2 and one max then ask me and don't tell me I forgot to mention anything. Have you ever used note 2? As I am talking now I have them both. Don't argue what you don't know with me.

  • you forgot to mention a few things, which has the smoother more responsive U.I.? which has a longer wifi range? which has a clearer call quality for a phone? which has the more intuitive dialer/contacts?

  • I have Samsung note 2 and htc one max. To be honest note 2 screen is better. People complain that Samsung super amoled screen has over saturated color because they don't know how to use it. Simply go to settings and select your screen choice between Dynamic, movie, cinema and natural. If you select natural or movie screen you will see that color is not over saturated. Super amoled is simply the best and let us not deceive ourselves. Note 2 screen is better than one max then how much more note 3 or s5. One max is only better than note 2 in sound quality and build quality finish. Everything features in one max is in note 2 but they are some minor features in note 2 that one max don't have. Both phones are in my hand and tell you the truth as it is.

  • this is the best phablet that I used htc make this one max amazing device with very fast software and excellent battery life , camera , speakers are amazing not any issue in this device

  • i don't think they have the phone. they are reading the spec sheet and it dose not mentions upgradable to 4.4.2

  • Are you drunk, its already 4.4.2 kitkat.check your updates.

  • Gsmarena Please update the specification to include Upgradeable to Android 4.4.2

  • I think you are in the wrong forum. ONE MAX has had 4.4.2 mounts now.

  • I am surprised.. Y it is not upgradable to 4.4 Kit-Kat

  • I tried it and it didn't work. I was able the download a you tube video to the SD using the app. But I was not able to copy a video torrent to the same folder using a downloaded file manager. The version I got was from Amazon and the EXT SD path was /storage/ext_SD/Android/data/devian.tubemate.Ama­zon/files/video. What file type did you move to the ext SD download path of tubemate but did it using a file manager?

  • Inspired by Anthony, I just wanted to share the tip/trick I have found on moving files from internal memory to external memory for android 4.4.2 in One Max. Here are the step by step procedure. 1. Install the app �TubeMate� with version 2.2.2 (just google the apk because it won�t be found in the google play store) 2. In the preference settings of the app, change the location of the video download storage. For me e.g. /storage/ext_sd/Android/data/devian.tubemate.hom­e/files 3. Once step no. 2 is done, follow that path using any file manager. 4. Now you can copy/paste/create/delete files on the �files� folder alone. Although there is a limitation on what you can do about the copy/paste/create thing anywhere on the external sd card but to specific folder only, this trick will work just fine. I guess this is better than nothing.

  • Tip/trick for MAX users with 4.4.2 If you need to edit/past/move/create files on the EXT SD when you don�t have computer access. Just put your card in a card reader and connect it to a USB OTG cable. USB OTG is not restricted by the new rules of Android 4.4.2

  • Note 2 screen is better than htc one max????? You mean over saturated hd screen better than full hd lcd3 display. LOL.

  • Only problems I have with this phone is....... I can't get WiFi direct to receive files. There are no default HTC file manager (this complicates things with the kitkat SD CARD slot restrictions)

  • Yes it supports Usb on the go.

  • How to release date htc sense 6 with htc one max.my max running on sense 5.5.

  • I will only compare max to another phablet. I switched from Samsung note 2 to one max. My experience is below : I only miss 2 things on note 2 Camera- 8mp camera of note 2 is far better than 4up camera of one max. Screen : screen on note 2 is better than one max screen. Sound : is better on one max. I advice you to buy Samsung note 3 with 13mp camera or lg g pro 2. You will love the one max for everything but the camera will make you hate it. Note 3 is all round beauty

  • Is there anyone here who already updated their one max to htc sense 6.0? Kindly tell us your experience. Been patiently waiting for the ota update on my device and very excited. :)

  • Yes, this device is OTG capable.

  • No problem at all. This is by far the best phablet in the market. You will never regret your choice. Welcome to the club. Been using my one max for 6mos now

  • It is support USB host or usb on the go ?

  • my final decision is to buy one max . so any one have any problem with the max ? please advice .

  • Now that Apple is buying beats audio we can look forward to lawsuits left and right about boom sound copy right infringements. Will there be a boom sound in the next one MAX? Hmmmmm?

  • thx for the reply

  • Htc max much louder than m8.but m8 much clearer sound than max.both are very good sound much louder than previous ver M7.

  • dear friends has someone test the speakers performance of the one max vs m8 ? wich one is louder ? thx in advance

  • If you decide to do it go with the international (but I really believe it�s not worth it.) I wish I could find a OTA copy of 4.3 (for me, being able to use my phone just the way I want is far better than saying I have a new ROM) and trust me you have to tell people it is a new ROM because it looks no different.

  • I don�t think you are going to have any completes with the CPU on the one MAX. I for one don�t. How we interpret �lag� is relative. It all depends on what you are comparing it to. If you are measuring response time delay in seconds than I say there is no lag. Because from the time you tap/swipe, to the time it takes the U.I. interface to change is less than 1sec (most times it feels like instant). But if you are a speed junky measuring in milliseconds then there is a few milliseconds delay in U.I. response. If you are measuring it against the SIII or S5 as I did for basic task like going to the home screen, bringing up the app switcher, opening the dealer/contacts/calendar, it is way, way, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster. I�m not talking about bench marks and all that crap. I�m talking about day to day real would use. This phone does not keep me waiting like my SIII did or like the demo my service provider gave me of the S5. The only complaint I have is that Android 4.4.2 has put a restriction on writing to the SD card by 3rd party software and this may not have been a problem for me if HTC had a file manager build into the U.I. so I didn't have to download a 3rd party version from the play store, that is totally useless for EXT SD card management.

  • Don�t make a big deal out of not having 4.4.2 You are not missing anything. You have to remember you are running sense 5.5 on top of the Android interface, so most of the changes made to Android you don�t even see, because the phone was never running a pure version of android to begin with. An in 4.4.2 it�s still running sense version 5.5 It adds cloud print service (but are you part of the small percentage that needs that?) And more Bluetooth profiles were added. On the down side, flash support was removed & the ability to do any edit/write commands to the EXT SD card using downloaded software has been removed. I wouldn�t hack my phone for that if I were you. By the way, where do you plan to get original ROMs for this phone? Because I have the Hong Kong factory unlocked model and would link to restore it to 4.3 to get back my EXT SD write access. I have dead a lot about changing ROMs on this phone but never did it because I can�t find copies of the original ROMs to download. And i�m sure as hell not putting on a custom ROM. You should also note that if you S-OFF your phone to root it, your finger print scanner will be disabled. Don�t worry, once you don�t screw with your boot loader. You will eventually get the sense version 6 that is being worked on now for the ONE line 2013 models. (T-Mobile is just a bit behind on development as all the other versions are in Certification now. But you will get it as they are working on it)

  • the price is brand new in my country today 480$ waaw so great last month was at 580 $ i will buy this beauty

  • hi raaj mangat . i agree with you that htc m8 main disadvantage on screen buttons with htc logo,halh inch waste of screen . so im really dont like it on m8 but there no news about new max ( m8 max ) i ask to buy max now or wait till we see m8 max ?

  • hi anthony . thanks alot for helping me to choose so : 1- im also choose bigger is better 2- updates dont matter with me even im now using htc chacha with android 2.3 so i will satisfy with android 4.3 and it doesnt matter with me the updates after 2 years 3- i really loved finger scan and its advantage for me than UI6 in m8 .. any way my last question is : im sure that max with snapdragon 600 + 2 g ram is equal to m8 with snapdragon 801 + 2 g ram as aperformance so is it true or false ? because i read that all pple say no lack with max .

  • hi anthony.thanks a lot for your answer. I cheched it.It is locked and s-on and build number is 1.25.111.2.I want to ask can I download a android and install it by myself or not and wait for htc.If I can which original rom with which build number should I download?and if I do that my phone will lock again or not?tnx

  • Both phone are great. The major differences are the camera, screen size, finger print scanner and updates cut-off date. You said camera don�t matter to you so you just have 3 things to look at. Which screen size would you like more? (For me, bigger is better and applies to the battery too) HTC Android update window is only 2 years from release date, that means the one max would stop getting updates 5 months before the M8 (how much of a big deal is that to you?) Finger print scanner allows you to have a complex alphanumeric lock screen password but quickly get past it with the swipe of a finger. (Don�t work when your finger is wet. Then you have to enter that long password you made) Both are snappy so the CPU speed/age don�t really matter and the ONE max is supposed to get sense 6 May/June so UI version don�t matter as well. Hope that helped.

  • Hello mostafa.Htc m8 is good looking,latest processor s801 than s600 max.m8 is more slippery than max.I am using one max its no.1 battery backup than all Android phones.most beautiful display watching movies, and finger print scanner more security. I suggestions one max is better than m8.m8 screen look like same as m7,reson on screen buttons.htc m8 main disadvantage on screen buttons with htc logo,halh inch waste of screen.

  • It all depend on what method was used to unlock your phone. If you check in your boot loader and it doesn�t say ***LOCKED*** in the first line. And S-ON in the second line. Then you are not going to get any updates from HTC as your boot loader has been tampered with. If you don�t know how to get to the boot loader you can read my post with time stamp 2014-03-09 14:10 where I talked about clearing your cache partition. (it�s part of those instructions)

  • Benefit of rooting is you can install whatever you like, no matter how harmful it can be to the security of your phone (and you can try to undo the SD CARD slot restriction) On the down side�. In a rooted ONE MAX, the finger print scanner will not work. This is to protect your print from malicious software. Also you will stop getting OTA updates as your phone has to be �S-Off� by HTC Dev to unlock the booth loader which also stops you from getting updates from HTC. I can�t tell you which cooked ROM is best as I don�t see anything Wong with the HTC ROM in the first place, so I haven�t tried any cooked ROMs (and don�t plan to). Not getting my data jacked is more important to me. But if you still want to root. Follow the link below.

  • i need decision please about ( max or m8 ) even im not interested about camera quality so 4 pixel is enough for me and finally i want aphone for along time without change so it must be a HERO for me . now what to buy ( max or m8 ) ?

  • what a bad camera.. just 4 MP????

  • M8is just great nice looking phone performance is bit fast camera quality same as that of max bit of change with sense six. But nobody can beat max for its massive display scribble functions on the large screen. And max is best for watching multimedia. Only one big difference is m8 is easy to handle with. I think once we get sense update for themax ni need ti change your phone. Max will become ultimate phone ones it get software update.

  • hi.my one max has t mobile sim unlock rom .but everytime I check for kitkat update it says your phone is up to date.so t mobile users still on android 4.3 or what?tnx

  • Hello Anthony, please suggestions me,how to benefits of rooted or non rooted htc one max.and best custom rom for htc one max.how can install custom rom for easy steps.plz reply, thanks Brother..

  • whats your opinion about max after you purchased m8 ? whats your advice pls ( max or m8 ) ?

  • You do just like iPhone users and take it to a dealer and have the battery replaced or upgrade to the newer model because by then Android software update support would have stopped for this model anyway.

  • Hey guys,htc one max battery life minimum 3 year.so why replace the battery.

  • Hey guys..... I wish to buy this monster flagship coming from great great HTC and my question is... These devices have non removable battery with aluminum uni body. If the battery dead what will happen to the phone? can we replace the battery? or what will happen to the phone? Please give me a suitable answer as soon as possible. Thank you.

  • Anthony A small information to you.today I sold my max and purchased m8. I just couldn't control myself from the looks of m8 and its performance in every way. Thank you very much for your advice in many areas where you are suggesting about max.

  • Anthony It appears that you do lots of home work to know more about MAX you made me to stick to MAX even often I am tempted to purchase m8. Good thing going bro thanks again

  • Pixel density is a count of physical lines of pixels in a 1 inch vertical distance of screen when held in landscape like a television. Using the one max as an example�.. It has 1080 lines of pixels in landscape. Using a ruler, the screen is approximately 2.875 inch tall when held in landscape like a TV. 1080 lines, divided by 2.875 inches = 375.65 That is the appox pixel density. There is no way in this world that software is going to pack more lines of pixels in the 1 inch distance. Not even if your name a Samsung :) To increase pixel density you would have to get a new screen that actually has more lines of pixels per inch. Hope you understood that. What can be done by software is improve the video driver commands on how it displays a picture/video on the 1080x1920=2,073,600 pixels that make up the screen. Using contras, hue, saturation, refresh rate and (image pixels interpolation, when the picture/video being displayed has less than a 1080x1920 in resolution) a next improvement is how much power it takes to do all those calculations. So if you asking�. Could your low res pictures look better with a software update? The answer is yes. But it don�t work for HTC so just like you i have to wait and see. Could the power consumption be less with the update? Yes because the drivers in the M8 are better designed than that of the M7 based models. Could the update change the physical make-up of the screen of an old phone to increase pixel density? LOL I�ll let you answer that one.

  • I have the Samsung note 2 and when i updated to jellybean 4.3 the screen resolution changed drastically and anyone will easily notice the difference in quality. It was as if pixel density was increased. I am not the only one saying this if you go through note 2 forum here in gsmarena you will see other people said the same thing. I only thought that if Samsung can do it htc can do it also. And am am still saying that screen quality might become as good as m8 with software update. At note 2 forum someone even made this statement " DID SOMEONE TOUCHED MY PIXEL DENSITY?"

  • What do you mean by screen quality? A software update can�t change what the screen is mode of, or the pixel per inch count, or the native rez or your app. So exactly what are you talking about when you say �screen quality�? so we both can be on the same page.

  • Hello anthony,my old htc one max kitkat size in 600+ mb.and i am purchasing new max today and its kitkat size in 300+ mb only.Mfd is same december 2013. Why?i am confuesd guys.

  • Thanks to anthony.

  • Do you think the screen quality will become as good as m8 if updated to sense 6? I have Samsung note 2 and when i updated to 4.3 the screen quality improved greatly.

  • You should wait till the ONE MAX gets updated to the new Sense 6, to see if it gets the same new power saving modes as the M8 or not. Then ask that question of which last longer, seeing that the MAX has the 3300mAh battery and the M8 has a 2600mAh battery. There are articles that say the update to sense 6 for the MAX will be available in June-July 2014.

  • Helo guys, plz suggest me. Htc m8 battery better than htc one max,and m8 much louder than one max!. Plz ans me m8 user..

  • Helo guys, plz suggest me. Htc m8 battery better tham one max,and m8 much louder than one max.

  • Hi Anthony, My bad, the last time it works on me is on android version 4.3. Then after I transfer my music files in another directory, that initiates the problem long before I updated to 4.4.2. Until now it doesn't work. Okay let me know if you have any solution. I will look into it also. I hope you get it working on your device cause its so cool. Anyhow thanks for the response.

  • Could you tell me if the problem started after you updated to Android. 4.4.2? or did you see it work on 4.4.2? I asked this because I updated my phone 2 days after getting it. And sadly I have never gotten the music player to download the lyrics to any sound. And I never tried it before the update. I kick myself every day for rushing to do the Android update so fast. Anyway I�ll look into it some more and see what I can find out.

  • Hi Anthony, My music player don't show the lyrics of any music I play when connected to internet. The first time I have this phone it is working then I change the location of my music files then it doesn't show the lyrics anymore. Do you know any way how to make it work again? I tried returning my music files on the original folder in the internal storage and still no luck. Appreciate your comments.

  • It has "boom sound" branded audio drivers and an amplifier. Why do you think it has "dolby digital" branded audio drivers?

  • Hello Anthony.how to means dolby sound.htc one max headphone support dolby sound.

  • It want it think. I picked that case for many reasons. Bigger lip to protect screen edge (im not careful with devices like you should be and they fall a lot in outdoor environments) my co-worker, just last week had his M7 screen crack, and he was using a thin case. The kick stand. (don't need to look for something to prop up the phone when I'm watching Netflix.) Rubber inner lining to absorb shock that damage internal parts in a high fall (as the phone is thin, the parts are tightly packed. A lash on the outside would transfer directly to internal parts) Last I like the look of the grips :) Not a flip case (allows me to use it in a car mount.

  • Could you take a screen shot of the settings>storage for your SD card size with the 128gb card in it and post it on postimage.org and put the link to the picture here?

  • Yes support 128gb SanDisk

  • Yes support 128gb SanDisk

  • Anthony Your back case is too thick and heavy try to change it to a thinner one where you can get better grip. Mine is a hard case thinner and grippy.but I hate using flip cases for the already massive MAX.

  • I got it with the frosted biscuit thin case. Didn't trust that to save my screen on a fall on an asphalt road. So I bought a case the same time as the phonehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G1PI73K­/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  • Thanks Anthony for that but here in India the max is sold with stylus and cases that's great isn't it! !!

  • @ phaniraj It turns out I (and you) didn�t even have to install any app to doodle on pictures. Any picture you can access from the default Gallery app can be doodle on. These are the steps. Open gallery>Find and open picture>tap on picture>pick edit (lower right corner)> tap on draw. Pick the pallet (top center)> pick your tool, line thickness, & colour> have a ball :)>tap done when finish so it will auto save as. The link is to an example I did just for you. It would look better if I had a stylus. I did it with my index finger.

  • Sadly it�s not always that black and white. If the hidden partition with the SD Secure API is corrupted then the phone will not even recognise that there is a SD card in the slot. So it will not show up to be formatted by the phone. (welcome to the gray area) If you one of the lucky ones, and you have a reader that does not need access to the secure partition you could install SD formatter 4.0 on your PC and use that to do the format. But even that is not 100% for fixing a card with a corrupted secure API. other say a fat32 format will fix formatting problems but depending on the reader you use formatting with the with "windows format" could totally remover the secure partition. that partition is not needed to use the card as a drive in a PC but it is needed by most portable devises.

  • Some people say that apps are not optimize to fit the screen. I just found the solution in settings. In fact every app is well optimized to use the full screen.

  • If card corrupted than simply formatted card on this device 1000% sovled your problem ok

  • Hey guys HTC is really a fantastic brand . in the phones comparison HTC One m8 is the king of 2014 . similarly HTC one Max is the king of phablets until now..

  • Having post from my mobile ID delayed by so much time is messing with my head. That�s why I replied twice from 2 different IDs. LxG4 & PHur sorry about that.

  • Phaniraj I have no problem with answering your questions. As some times, I too learn new things from the questions here. So don�t be afraid to ask. I just wanted to make it CLEAR that I don�t work for HTC or have a job in the mobile industry. So I�m not the person to ask about the future release dates of anything. And I�m not a mobile gamer so I�m not going to be much help in that department as well.

  • well said, bro.

  • I don't mind helping when I can. I sometimes learn things as well from the questions. I just wanted to make it clear that I don't work for HTC and my profession is not in mobile Tec. Smart devices are just handy in the field of Architecture so I try to know as much as I can to milk as much usefulness out of a device that I can. So don't feel like you have to stop asking me questions related to the phone.

  • @ phaniraj Seeing that Arrowmatic can confirm that the 64gb works in his phone. the problem is most likely with your card. Try a different card and even a different brand.

  • Ok boss i tried using Samsung10class 64gb card probably the card may be corrupted.

  • Sorry Anthony am disturbing you very much.don't worry I won't do it again.

  • Should i buy one max or note 3?

  • HTC One Max can run 64GB. I am currently using San Disk 64GB and it runs fine..... In fact this Phone Rocks and it can't be compared as of now to any rival. I have not tested 128GB but I have read in a forum where someone tested 128GB in Note 3 and it runs fine. Thus, I concluded that if Note 3 can, then HTC One Max will super run 128GB.

  • What brand is you 64gb? I have had problems in the past with the SanDisk brand on the SIII. Btw all my response sent from my mobile data ID are now being blocked for review before being posted by gsmarena. That's why replies are taking so long from me. And I refuse to log in with Face Book because I personally know how easy it is to get your Face Book Account hijacked so don't use that to login to other websites.

  • Dude. I don't work for HTC. This is just the phone I decided to upgrade to because I was Fed up of Samsung sluggish tochwiz and retarded dialer. I can only help with this phone because I read the entire PDF user manual before I made up my mind to buy it and my understanding of smartphones that spans back to the days of Windows mobile (not to be mistaken with the now water down Windows Phone OS). So as for predicting the future I'm not even going to try. If we get sense 6 I'll be happy, if we get back full Wright access to the SD card I'll be ecstatic. But if sense 6 never comes, it makes no difference to me because I bought this phone for its abilities out of the box, not for what it was rumoured to get in the future.

  • Anthony I tried using 64gb card but it didn't recognize. When will be the update of sense6 to the MAX?

  • The user manual says 64gb so I'll take there word for it. I'm using a Samsung 32gb card that I transferred out of my old SIII. And I don't know anyone with a 128gb card, so I can't test it to see if it will work or not.

  • Ok Anthony what is the maximum capacity of sd card we can use in MAX

  • O! you want to control the intensity of the light.. Sorry there is no manual setting for that. How bright or dim the back and home key are, is controlled by the light sensor. So in some occasions the sensor could be pickin up ambient light from a window or door-way, causing the keys to be dim in an otherwise dark or badly lit room.

  • Anthony The capcitative buttons are lit but they are not so bright so I can't see them in the dark that's my issue.

  • There most be a reason why "phaniraj" ask how to get the buttons lighting. I just wanted to know what the reason was.

  • Its not possible,bro.

  • this is the wonderful mobile that i never used before ........................... I LOVING IT

  • Are you having a situation where the screen is on but the home & back keys are not lighting?

  • There is no HTC file manager on this phone. You have to install a file manager from the play store. The buttons only light when the screen lights.

  • Anthony How to get the buttons lit in the dark for the MAX and one more thing where is the file manager? Help please

  • 1 line? That's all I get for why you are thinking of changing? I asked you 4 questions for you to think about and answer and you give 1 answer that isn't in reply to any of the questions. LOL OK THEN. based on all the information you are willing to give, I say buy it because it's new and you have the money. See that you haven't given any reason why you need it.

  • Only main disadvantege is htc m8 bottom black bar with htc logo and on screen botton.

  • are you uncomfortable with the size of the MAX?

  • I can't say. Seeing that I don't even know what is the reason for your decision. What need to you hope to satisfy by the change? Is there anything you didn't like about the MAX that was fixed in the M8? I don't even know what you like most about the MAX. so how can I give my informed opinion about a choice you should make, when I have no information about your requirements?

  • Hello anthony bro.I am planing to change htc one max with new htc m8.its my write decision or wrong! Thanks in advance.I love htc phones build quality,music, display and camera.

  • Obviously - Go for the One Max. You'll love the display and the sound!

  • Display, Sound, Quality - HTC One Max ;)

  • HTC one Max has no flaws so far which I can recommend. HTC for life no matter what

  • No I don't know. That was the announcement I was waiting on when I was deciding between. M8 MAX - M7 MAX - N9000. Got Fed up of waiting so I dropped the M8 MAX as a option to choose from. BTW. do you have access to a N9000 or not?

  • Actually i don't have logical reason but maybe HTC doesn't allow this feature on there phones yet. By the way when HTC M8 Max announce do you have any idea?!

  • hi .. can i ask for an opinion .. i like to take photo,listening to music,and play games .. which phone is better htc one max or Sony Xperia ultra Z .. thank you ..

  • Thanks Anthony once again thanks a lot I will try the apps you have suggested.

  • 1. There are calendar widgets standard to the Sense U.I. you just have to put the one or more of your choice on your home screen. (to load widgets just pinch the home screen. And you can pick between the widgets, apps & short-cuts draw) then drag the wanted item to the desired home page above. All The default calendars are user resizeable. I prefer something with a little more customizable so I installed Android Pro Widgets (by Dr. Appche) and paid for a key to get more options. Below is a link to what my main home screen looks like. 2. For taking quick notes I want to see whenever I'm on the home screen I installed Sticky Note (by Bratag) it is also a widget. 3. As for sketching on your pictures you could try the Draw On Pictures by Dexati and MySimple Sketch by Salam Alyahya. They are apps not widgets. The first is very simple but will not crop your picture. The second has more tools but there is no option to not crop the picture.

  • didn't for get you will post later what i use for what you mentioned with details. would be nice if others shear what they use. who knows, it may be better than what i'm using.

  • technically is doesn't support wireless charging. but the is 2014 :-) not because It don't have wireless charging built in means you can't install it after market. Wireless charging can be added to any phone using a universal QI receiver. they are available on Amazon for sale. they normally connect to the micro usb but i want to take it one step further by bypass the USB connection. the pogo pins at the back of the phone can be used the charge the internal battery because those are the pins the official HTC extended battery case uses to charge the built-in battery. i have attached some links below for your knowledge. this is a universal QI receiver in action on a HTC ONE MAX this if the official extended batery case for the one max in action. available on amazon. and the is the after market QI receiver made for the N9000 that also use a 3 point connection. i just need to confirm the spacing of the points. give me a logical explanation why it will not work?

  • If One max didn't support wireless charging like nexus 4 and 5 then it's useless.

  • Thanks Anthony for your response I need widgets for taking notes HTC scribble is just an icon cannot be used as widget writing notes on a big screen like MAX Will just awesome and screen write after you take a photo or after screen shot is needed and writing tasks in calendar is also needed and so on. Hope you suggest me some apps from play store.

  • Could you give a little more details about what the apps in the note 3 "does" that you need, so others can suggest alternatives. Because if all you want is the exact S-SWEET of apps, that is copyrighted to Samsung and some access there server in order to work. So you can't have that on any other brand phone.

  • follow up to the post below this one. the link below is of the receiver only. it shows the connectors in one of the images

  • You seem to have access to a lot of phones. Maybe you could answer a question for me. If you have access to a note 3 could you measure the distance between the pogo pins that are to the left of the battery for me? I want to know if the spacing is the same as the pogo connector on the outside of the ONE MAX. I want to but a note 3 (Qi receiver) to use on this phone. But need to know if the connectors spacing will match first. there is a Qi receiver for the ONE MAX but it uses the micro USB port to connect and I think that is just plain stupid when there are pogo pins on the outside of this phone.

  • Just want to try out the flex that's all about it, flex isn't a bad phaplet as people thought yeah I'm missing the fingerprint scanner, build quialty, full HD screen and boom sound but in other hand I got the flex for the curve cinematic display that shows videos and YouTube in fun way plus the snapdragon 800 and DDR 3 ram that makes the phone and intensive games works just fine including the great battrey life. You should give it a try you will love it believe me.

  • This is a very great phone even compare to note3 the camera is just awesome after kitkat update. I need one help any apps are there for MAX just like note3 apart from just scribble. Please help me in this regard. I desperately need apps just like that of note.

  • Glad to hear that u r enjoying Max to max. It's indeed a good phone except size. Htc does make really great quality phones but nobody is buying them enough. And also htc has slimmed down their Sense UI....no more heavy like in Win mobile. Unfortunately, their financial situation not good....hope they won't end up like Nokia. For me, Htc M8 is almost perfect phone but i don't understand why they skipped finger print scanner in this. I can't go back to password/pattern lock after using finger print in iPhone.

  • Why did you switch to the G flex, and then plan to switch back to a next MAX before years end? What was your reason for not just staying with the MAX till the new one comes out?

  • Why did you switch to the G flex, and then plan to switch back to a next MAX before years end? What was your reason for not just staying with the MAX till the new one comes out?

  • Sold my One max bought G flex and i'll wait for the upcoming One max 2 M9 2014 hope HTC not going to get ride of fingerprint scanner cause i'm really missing this feature on G flex.

  • Yes it has a notification LED but it's under the speaker grill and it's small so you don't see it from all angles and it's not a multi colour LED. it's exactly like the HD2 LED.

  • no can't help i put a case on my phone so the glass don't crack if i dropped it. and i have already dropped it on the asphalt road 3 times already. micro scratches i can live with so i never looked into getting rid of any on any phone.

  • Yes I got the MAX and I�m loving it to the max. The size is good for Netflix. And even with my bulky kickstand case, it still fits in my jeans pocket and I can take it out without having to stand up first. My HTC HD2 is still working BTW :) I tried Samsung (SIII) but for a phone that was full of features, sadly I have to give it an overall rating of disappointing. Because it did not live up to what I expected for UI reaction time. And UI convenience. Yes the finger print scanner works and on the first try too. (The case helps take the guess work out of knowing where the scanner pad is without having to flip the phone). But it will not read if your finger is wet. Then you just tap (can�t use finger?) and unlock with your pass key. I can�t compare it to the 5S because I don�t know anyone with that model What impressed me the most about the MAX because I didn't expect it (yes I read the PDF user manual, ALL OF IT, before I placed my order, didn't want to buy a next let-down.) is�. 1. The battery last me all day and I didn't have to change my smartphone usage habits. 2. The front speaker is laud enough that I don�t need to use my Jabra freeway car kit on the road. 3. Voice dialling understands me without having to fake a US accent. 4. How much faster the UI is over the Samsung.

  • Thanks @Ponjap & Behnam. I've Lg g2,which is already tad big for me. I think Max is really Max. Btw, does it have Blinking light(notification led)??

  • Hy Syrus.. I own an HTC one max for about 4 months now, and I really can't imagine a phone without a fingerprint lockscreen. It's very convenient. The fingerprint sensor on one max is 100% working.. not unless your finger print is wet. that is why I registered both my index finger to unlock my phone so that I can unlock the phone either of my two hands. though you have to make an adjustment for a week maybe on the fingerprint scanner and after that, it works really really well.

  • syrus dont worry about the size. its really awesome. Max easily get in my pocket. the LCD quality is great. & the battery is the best. at last the shape & design! make ur friends & people jealous.

  • Hello Anthony,please suggest me bro.my htc max is visible few little scratchs on screen.its visible only direct sunlights.how to remove little sctachs any idea bro.I am very carefull in my lovely htc max.its gorilla glass 3!

  • Best of luck

  • Best of luck

  • Anyone can tell me if this phone would work on tmobile,metropcs and at&t?aside from sprint and verizon. Thnks

  • Hey Anthony......so u bought HTC Max? Htc one series are nostalgic....reminds me of HTC HD2. I really liked HTC M8 but there is no Finger Print on it and Max is too big for my taste. BTW how's finger print in Max? Is it just a gimmick or works like iPhone 5s? Finger print in iPhone is awesome.

  • Thanks. I'll read it tonight

  • htc one max is one of the best phablets no comparison for htc its roking......

  • It is something that is built into the qualcomm Chip set and the charger that came with the phone. There is a version 1 and the new HTC ONE has a version 2 (but version 2 charger is not out yet.) I don�t know if the Qualcomm chip in the one max has the feature or not, but I can tel you my phone charges faster than my SIII and the SIII had a smaller battery.

  • What brand and model wireless router do you have. Maybe it's no longer supported in the new ROM from HTC.

  • i think i said (cache) not cash. It�s a hidden partition a.k.a (storage space) that stores files/ drivers for quick access by your RAM. This allow the system to boot up fast and open/load apps and drivers fast. When you don�t clear the cash before you do an update, there is a great chance that the old files that was in the cache would be accessed after the update. And being different from there updated counterparts, you would end up with 2 files that do the same thing but in a different ways. And that is what causes conflicts a.k.a sh-it don�t work right. The easy fix is to wipe the cache partition and factory reset from Android system recovery. You would still have your new ROMs as the ROM chip was already flashed. But you would lose your personal data, so backup first. I gave the instructions on how to do it in a post before so you can look it up. all computers have a cache and that�s what a smart phone is. (a mobile computer that can make cell calls) What I do before I update my ROM is to clear the cache so It is empty when I do the update. That way the cache gets loaded with new driver files instead of loading old files into my RAM, and back on to the filing system on the phone. Also when you do a lot of updates to apps on your phone, it is good practice to wipe out the cache to get out the junk that is no longer being used. Wipe the cache partition �only� will not factory reset the phone.

  • hi . Anthony what do you mean of cash portion did you mean the folder name cash?
