uncle benny888

u mentioned before that u managed to keep the battery 100% after standby overnight

what setting you used for the stamina mode ya? did you turn off wifi and mobile data? any whitelist apps in stamina mode?

realized that the standby hours estimation had changed after few days of usage (from 4-5 days to 1-2 days), is it a bug or the phone is calibrating the battery according to the battery usage?

thanks smile.gif

Only wifi is off. 3g always on. Whitelist app only whatsapp
Example lastnite record over 9 hours
My maximum standby hours always around 4 hours 20+ hours n consistently so . Have been using phone 3 weeks. This standby time will drop accordingly with battery level drop

Tested Maxis LTE near Sri Hartamas Finnegan's pub. Full network bar - download speed 32.97 Mb / upload 20.56mb / ping 111ms.

Repeated the test again at same spot with same signal level and got diff results as follows - dl 20.17mb / upload 19.23mb / 59ms.

When I drove near the entrance of Bukit Aman police headquarters I saw 1 bar of LTE. When I checked with speedtest.net it said I was connected to tmnet cyberjaya server. Well anyways here is the test results - dl 14.37mb / upload 0.96mb / ping 150ms.

i drove around ttdi juz now to try the LTE, but can't detect it sad.gif

i went to klcc last week to ask bout lte activation, they say no nid activation or change sim card, it will automatic switch to it when detected, my sim card 4-5 years d, can use hsdpa

confirmed that the setting is "LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM" d

so i need to call maxis customer service to ask them activate lte for me? or maybe change sim?

If you have an old Maxis sim card, lets say more than 6 months old, chances are that it cannot use the LTE network and in this case you MUST change your sim card. When I changed my sim from the big chip to the small micro sim yesterday at TTDI Maxis center, the cust svc never even ask for LTE or etc. Its auto detect. No extra forms, call cust svc or etc. Im using the 5Gb data plan. Maxis counter staff said once I exceed 5Gb my speed will be throttled down but wont incur additional cost. Hope that helps

thanks for the info bro, will check with the customer service to confirm bout the sim compatibility with lte smile.gif

How old is your SIM card? U can search my earlier posts where I discussed about LTE Maxis network
*
more than 4 years d, the maxis center i went and the customer rep i spoke to all insist the sim card is fine to run lte

seems like to know whose the culprit need to test a sim card that is proven can run lte on my phone and trying my sim card on a phone that confirm can run lte, to see which is the problem

Maxis staffs knowledge on LTE is laughable. I went to get the LTE activated in TTDI and its an frustrating hour spent.

On the phone:
CS1 - LTE only works on phone purchased from Maxis (false)
CS2 - LTE activates automatically when you're in LTE coverage using a phone with LTE band 7 (partially false)

Over at TTDI:
TTDI Staff 1 - Your phone doesn't support Maxis LTE.
Me - It does, and I think it has something to do with my SIM
TTDI Staff 1 - So you wanna change your SIM card, go look for staff no.2? (giving me a SIM damaged replacement form with RM25 charges)
TTDI Staff 2 - fill up the form please
Me - My SIM card is not damaged, I just want LTE activated on my phone.
TTDI Staff 2 - Ohh, no SIM card change is needed. Just go to 1st floor and look for the technical staff, they will help you to configure your phone to use LTE.
Me - ok
TTDI Staff 3 - You need a new SIM card for LTE, and we need to configure from our end too.
Me - I do?
TTDI Staff 2 - Ya kah? !@#$%+_)(*&^%$
TTDI Staff 3 - Issue a new Micro SIM, LTE works right away.

From what i gather, your old SIM card, manually cut out Micro SIM, will not be able to register onto Maxis LTE. You'll need the NEW wholly white color Micro SIM for LTE to work. And if you already has that but still can't hop onto LTE, you'll need to inform customer service for technical department to configure from their end.

After getting it done, i did approximately 10 speed tests with speed hovering around 20Mbps to 30Mbps for both upload and download, with excellent ping of <50ms. Quite impressive i must say. But a total of 280MB of my data was sucked by speedtest.net just to perform these speed test which was done in less than 5 minutes.

Battery wise its draining faster than 3G/HSPA, but definitely not 20% drop in 5 minutes.
i had problems with chrome doing HTML5 too. Chrome keeps crashing when i load iCloud. It was find on Nexus 4.
ARM v7 is the instruction set used by the processor, not processor version.

For people still trying to get LTE, last week i went to Maxis TTDI and they insist that LTE is not ready for any devices other than their own HTC One XL  and Nokia Lumia 920, so i argued abit and said other people already using it but they show me bullshit face.

123 customer service say its imposible to get LTE because:-
1.) Im not using their "4G Phones"
2.) Im on iValue plan, which does not support 4G

This week i went there again and instead of asking them to activate my LTE, i asked for a sim replacement.

After waiting for 1 hour, i finally got my turn. while waiting for the guy to get my new sim i asked one more time, and this guy also said LTE wont support other phone.

As soon as i got my new microsim, I poped it in and LTE Shows up. Then i went to show it on the guy's face.

However while trying to upload a picture on facebook it says "LTE is not supported on your device" other than that everything is smooth and fast. Speedtest @ 34mbps

seems like the sim card could be the problem then, thanks for the info guys notworthy.gif

After updated to .434 the wifi signal sometimes dropped and sometimes been disconnected

did u guys also have this problem?

I had this problem without updating the firmware..

i switch to wifi during overnight standby, but when i woke up the next day its always connected to mobile data

i use tasker to track it, the wifi connection will drop after half an hour of standby

it seems like using mobile data is more battery efficient for XZ as compared to wifi

google search show that wifi uses less power than mobile data, but that doesn't seems to be the case for XZ

That's weird, you set it to "Always" right? Did you install any other battery management software that could cause such problem?

only install betterbatterystat and gsam battery to monitor the usage

i'll try again tonite with the always on wifi setting to re-confirm this
