HTC BoomSound™: Unleashed Sound

Unchain your audio with volume blasting toward you, not away. Serve up your movies, videos, and music with the decibels you deserve from dual frontal stereo speakers boosted with built-in amps. Stop stooping toward your phone and put your content onstage with HTC BoomSound™.


Unlocked Convenience

Users unlock their phones over 20 times a day on average. The HTC One max removes this hassle with a rear-side fingerprint scanner that unlocks the phone as well as launches your favorite apps with a single finger swipe. Up to three fingers can be registered. Forget complicated passwords, with the HTC One max, you’re just a swipe away.


HTC BlinkFeed™: Social Intelligence


user posted image


Enhanced HTC BlinkFeed™ gives you news recommendations when you sign into your social networks based on your likes, for breaking news that matters most. The HTC One max allows you to customize an HTC BlinkFeed from a wide range of global sources, for more personalized updates.


World-Class Engine

Revved-up graphics processing speed is designed to make gameplay smooth and quick. It enables up to 40% faster battery charging too. With its efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the HTC One max responds faster, games better, and lasts longer.

Removable cover will be quite cool but dual sim is normal compare most china phones already out in the market , lastly the beast processor , hope that this will be better than samsung note 2/3 and galaxy S4

Nothing spectacular except for the fingerprint sensor, which is a matter of convenience.

Removable back cover will be nice, or at least an sd card slot. No more BS about "smaller radio sizes".

Triangular screws for difficult access, but at least there's a screwdriver for that.

seriously duno what is HTC thinking releasing a new phone still with snapdragon 600, it all boils down to the price now. If it's priced similar to the current flagship offerings from other companies, I don't see a reason why i should get this instead of the others running snapdragon 800 and better specs, and then there's the new nexus coming soon as well running snapdragon 800 and a much lower price

then there's the fingerprint scanner, like it or not releasing it now after the 5S will jz give the bad image that they are copy-ing (although im clear apple is not the first to come out with that ). but that's apple, and this is HTC

the last thing is the failed ultrapixel camera.... well there are tons of reviews and user feedbacks, we all know how it ended up

was thinking the same. I show my friend this phone spec. They all so dissapoint with the S600. At least give it a S800 for a flagship phone man.

the only good thing i can see is the 5.9" display. the IPS display used by HTC on their flagships is very nice, this should be no exception

and also the micro sd card slot, which is considered rare for a HTC flagship.


but considering all these.... there's also the Xperia Z Ultra. so i still don't see a reason to get this, maybe for the slightly better camera ?

Thats good. Price will nosedive and we can get our hands on it for less. I dont mind snapdragon 600 as long as i can get it for rm 1400 in December. Look at Samsung Mega. 1.7Ghz Dual core also quite steady the sales. As long as price is low.

Note 3 screen so small don't need multi window lah.. It's not like u r using a 40in lcd. S pen only good if u use it, imho most users won't touch it. Air view just a gimmick. Sorry no Samsung for me until they improve their build quality on par with Sony z/z1/zu or HTC one.

Very disappointed with cheap plastic for top of the line Samsung model. Worse is they use paint to imitate chrome sides, makes it look like China ripoff.

The only saving grace for the Max is the screen and build quality unfortunately this time it's not enough compromise to compete with Note 3 or Sony XZU.

no matter what, i believe we all agree most of us would prefer the note 3 or XZU rather than this one max

unless the one max is priced like 1.5k / below the 2k mark then it still can be considered

If it get price at RM 1.5k, then I am pretty sure it can selling great!

But... I doubt about it, sure it cost at least RM 2,099.00 and with it not on par with market processor, only S600 instead of S800, HTC just open road for R.I.P soon. Sure got people pick it up but not many.

I rather go for Note 3 or Z Ultra if target high-end big screen, for cost saving, Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a great choice. I don't see any place for this HTC One Max.

I will buy if it is priced at rm1.5k which is highly unlikely. Unless HTC follow Samsung strategy in pricing it as the Mega series

I don't mind about the beats audio but why la they use S600.

If you keep touch the fingerprint scanner, you mind constantly smudging the camera lens.

I don't mind about the beats audio but why la they use S600.

If you keep touch the fingerprint scanner, you mind constantly smudging the camera lens.

Ya, if HTC pack with S800, they is a big chances to fight.

Now with only S600, sorry, think also no need even to think about it.

and they're also the first with snapdragon 600 (htc one)


but they failed to keep up to the competition with one max

It is coming and journey to dead.

  • Old processor, still S600. doh.gif
  • No more Beats Audio.
  • Mediocre camera - ultrapixel is failure and against with removal of OIS.
  • Bad review on the finger sensor.
  • Heavy & Bulky.

Snapdragon 600 is hardly old, it still runs everything smoothly. By your logic, everyone should buy a new phone every 6-month just to always have latest specs

Beats Audio is just an equalizer, that even craps out the audio when turned off, instead of just leaving it flat

QUOTE(DannyOP @ Oct 15 2013, 04:55 PM)
Note 3 screen so small don't need multi window lah..  It's not like u r using a 40in lcd.  S pen only good if u use it,  imho most users won't touch it.  Air view just a gimmick.  Sorry no Samsung for me until they improve their build quality on par with Sony z/z1/zu or HTC one.

Very disappointed with cheap plastic for top of the line Samsung model.  Worse is they use paint to imitate chrome sides,  makes it look like China ripoff.

The only saving grace for the Max is the screen and build quality unfortunately this time it's not enough compromise to compete with Note 3 or Sony XZU.

I would say this is a mid range device compared to the One. It's just a slight upgrade on the screen estate and inclusion of finger print sensor. The hardware is basically the same as One.

I used to like HTC device but if HTC doesn't improved, I believe they will ended up like Nokia one day

Like you?!? so fancy with Moto X? whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif Sometimes I feel your brain is full of shit, this phone is announcing now not 6 months ago.

HTC One Max spec is no longer high end enough now, it can only compete with middle range market, means it only qualify for price around RM 1.6k to RM 1.7k max.

Agreed. Other company's high end phones are running Snapdragon 800 (Z1, LG G2, Xperia Z Ultra, Note 3 etc.). HTC One Max is going to be launched as an last gen phone.

Unless..this is not a high end phone. The lack of aluminium unibody construction, fat body.. if its priced alongside Z Ultra & Note 3, I see no reason to buy this phone.

Oh, HTC Malaysia service also like crap. That puts the nail in the coffin.

Ya, if only this phone is releasing earlier year, then it still a high end phone.

For now, sorry, it no longer can be high end model, if this phone is targeting at middle range, then I am pretty sure it can sales well, but if it is targeting at high end market now, really sorry, it not going to sales well.

I have never used a HTC before but that front facing stereo speakers is a magnet. The big screen and sd card slot is a plus. Well maybe, just maybe it will be priced to challenge Mega 6.3. That would stir things a bit. People look down on the Mega too but it turned out pretty well even with 1.5gb ram

HTC Corporation in October 2013 released a newer version of HTC handset HTC One Max from the previous HTC one. Despite that fact that Nokia is trying to ban the sales of HTC ONE in the UK over a patent invention filed back in 1988, in Asia the HTC are doing great as the Taiwanese manufacturer is popular among mobile users in Hong Kong, Taiwan and many parts of Asia including Japan. HTC is probably targeting consumers that want bigger screens as the device is classified as a Phablet - a device that is categorized larger than a smart-phone yet smaller than a tablet.

user posted image


Even the weight of the phone is 30% heavier than the HTC one, so if you are fond of holding bigger devices with one palm, you will find it comfortable but maybe too big for others depending on the size of your hands, but in Hong Kong in particular users prefer bigger screens for accessing the latest news since most websites are not yet mobile responsive.


user posted image

The speakers are located on both sides of the device if held landscape, and the power button is located on the side of the device if held in portrait position.


The HTC device will be quite easy for those that have used a Smartphone with an Android OS before.
The HTC One Max comes built in with the latest version of Jelly Bean v 4.3

Android v 4.3 interface icons are bigger and colorful with the standard google applications visible example the Google calendar, Clock, phone settings and Google group icon all loaded within Jelly Bean OS.

Talking about design, One Max design is based on One Mini and doesn't have the true unibody build like One.

This I agree.

Dunno what HTC thinking about.

HTC One Max:
  • Previous generation S600 processor.
  • Bad finger print design.
  • No uni body like One, but follow One Mini design.
  • No OIS camera.
  • No Beat Audio

and dare HTC sell RM 2,499.00, HTC is really waiting for bankrupt!

It's useful but One Max fingerprint scanner position is not so right. Your finger will easily smudge the camera lens.

i think htc has the wrong strategy, they are hitting the toe with another big rock. using mid range processor + problematic camera sensor (too many complaint in One thread) + sky rocket high price = dig own grave. I'm looking forward to M8 now. seriously, One Max didnt turn me on at all. the design is exactly like one mini, just a buff up version.

Just bcuz apple has it , most ppl will think Apple is a pioneer and the rest of the world copied them . Biasa la . Fingerprint such a common features in japanese 2013 Docomo phones and like u said , Atrix have it 2 years ago . Look at Siri last time when it first came out and then S Voice . Then , fanboys were saying Samsung did it again as well , copying Siri . Little did they realize , vlingo was out in android like in 20110 end but not many knows about it . I still remember using it in my Dell Streak and S1 then .

Just attended the launch at Publika. Phone is indeed very snappy despite S 600 processor only. It has more features than HTC1. Will elaborate further after tests. Price is rm2499 but for today only I paid rm2099 for it. Will post more info over next few days. Phone feels slight heavier than my XZU. Back can removed for simcard n external SDCARD card
Will post my impression vs XZU n Note 3

Congratulate to be 1st owner.

If RRP is RM 2,099.00 then still quite reasonable, but not the plan RM 2,499.00 price.

It is plastic with metallic feel n finishing
This phone hardware build is way better than HTC1:
- power button is firm n now at mid right handside. HTC1 poorly located at top n button is wobbly n sink down over time with excessive use.
-as HTC1 design outlook same which seriously I had never like. I feel the speakers looks like an afterthought pasting on front. I still prefer it hidden below casing as per Butterfly. This phone n HTC1 design had never attracted me
- NO gap issues at all
- there is a small catch at LHS which you need press down to lift off cover. Need extreme care lifting it out as back cover is fragile ( worse than even Note3 n S4).
- Boom speakers quality is excellent n must say is BEST I have heard to date.
- Fingerprint recognition I would say is average. It doesn't pick up immediately n probably is my own fingers problem. I have problems too getting it recognize at first go in the banks n immigration counter. Will be exploring this feature further

Overall I love the feeling holding it in my hands n beats the XZU n Note3.
Noted that as per HTC1, Sensation n OneX the app drawers scrolling is not seamlessly smooth unlike XZU n Note3. There is still very very slight jerkiness but still acceptable
Blinkfeed features more improved . Now you can add in your own feeds n I read is new feature in Sense 5.5. As before very very slight jerkyness too in scrolling up down the screen. There is now a handy feature at top to disable this as main homescreen.

Just finished installing 150 apps lastnight n will be testing it thoroughly next few days
And as said earlier it only support FAT32 formatted 64gb external SDcard class 10.

ACTUAL PACKAGE IN BOX : Charger ( 1.5A), Headset, USB cable and a semi hard plastic clear backcase

Here are some of the benchmarks recorded. As expected this phone loses out to the S800 chip found in Xperia Z Ultra and Note 3. Gamers might find this phone to be slight disappointing in performance. Anyway I don't play any of those high end games except Scrabble mainly. Other than that this phone can easily match the other two in general usage and seriously did not notice it to be any significant slower than the other 2 phones in other tasks

AnTuTu : 26525 vs 32005 ( note 3) and 31376 ( XZU)

Quadrant : 12454 vs 20947 ( Note 3) and 18531 ( XZU)

NenaMark2 : 60.5 fps vs 60.3 fps ( Note 3) and 60.0 (XZU)

Vellamo - HTML5/Metal : 2574/761 vs 2797/1077 ( Note 3) and 2950/1125 ( XZU)

3D Mark Ice Storm Extreme : 6968 vs 18234 ( Note 3 on IS Unlimited as Extreme was deemed too low n figure exceeded its limits) and 10891 ( XZU)

GeekBench 2 : 2978 vs 4054 ( Note 3) and 3697 ( XZU)

GFX Bench on Egypt HD Offscreen : 4698/42fps vs 7648/68fps on Note 3 and 6746/60 fps on XZU

Some photo shots , all taken using phone default settings. Decent quality and definitely not top class
This phone does not have the purple tint ( in low light)  or pinkish tint in background unlike HTC One

The camera is similar to HTC1 except it doesn't have optical image stabilisation . It does not have the vastly reported purple tint ( in lowlight mode) or light pinkish tint issues ( on white background ) as in HTC one. I am quite happy with the camera performance as it takes decently good enough photos and my camera expectations are not that high. It is more for posting on Facebook and sharing with friends

It only costs $20 less on Singtel 's Lite plan 2 year contract than the Note 3.

Should I get this instead of the Note 3 as the battery life is kinda satisfying, it seems.

Pictures to show the standard HTC One Max case and the HTC One Max powerflip case. The latter adds additional 1150 mAh power to the phone. Using it I can now easily have 9+ hours SOT. This unit does not have a separate charge port . You need to insert phone inside and connection is made through the 3 pin connector at the back
The unit is very slim and does not really add much bulk to the phone. Only downside is the flip cover does not close the front end completely and you can see the edges being exposed by about 1 mm

I think the main disadvantage is the pricing - official retail is RM 2499 and the cheapest one could find is around RM 2240 at lelong.com
I would say HTC makes a big mistake with such a pricing
However price aside I am very happy with the phone performance. As I don't play any games the S600 processor is more than good enough for my needs and is comparable to my previous Note 3, and Xperia Z Ultra
The phone is extremely smooth and there are NO camera problems unlike the HTC one

Update on this phone battery life ( 3300 mAh). I'd say is excellent - easily can match if not better than Note 3, Xperia Z Ultra
100% of time on 3G/ WiFi on - 80% on internet related stuffs : browsing, email, RSS, Newsfeed, Facebook, tweeter - some calls, 10 SMS, 20+ whatsapp

First 7 hours phone overnight , battery drop about 2 %. At 75% battery usage, SOT hits 5.25 hours - projected to empty will be 7 hours. There was one day when I was outstation, I used the clip on powercase ( added 1150 mAh) and has hit 9+ hours SOT

This phone can't hit, it is over price with slightly outdated chipset use. S600 is yesterday and not value current price.

Some more the Beats Audio no longer there, the camera quality is so so with missing of image stabilisation.

With such price, more will look for others.

Thats a super SOT u got there. My previous Fonepad Note 6 with 3400mAh also can only hit 4.5hours SOT till 10%.

Btw, can I know where and how much did you get the HTC Powercase? Very hard to find around here and got 1 seller price it at RM255 blink.gif

Got it from a shop Bdot.com at 86, SS15/4B - it costs me RM 240+. Actual official retail at HTC outlets is around RM 280 ( price quoted about 2 months back)

S600 is outdated, if 2499 why don't get the Note 3 / iPhone 5s / Z1 ?

S600 is not that outdated . Of course cannot match S800. Not everyone wants a high performing processor. I agree rm2499 is too high a price for it vs the competition. If not for the discounted price at rm2099 I would not have bought it. To date no regrets n still very happy with the phone n have sold off my Note3 n XZU .
You need to use to appreciate its value. If HTC had priced it at rm2099 it would attract more buyers. The cheapest I could find is in the range rm2250-2300 at lelong n garage sales.

I wont say best as there is no such exist yet. But can say most satisfying over Note3 n XZU.
Black supposedly in Dec but seems no news
Sales no good due to bad pricing n probably HTC might not even consider bringing it in. There is no Red color yet.

My XZU last time can barely last, cuz I do lots of movies and gaming.

My wife is enjoying this 1 Max every single moment, got it at RM2238 from aaronac. As for power flip case, apprently even at bdot.com the price has increased up to Rm249. So just closed 1 eye and but it lerrr blush.gif

Read most reviews from user and 90% was positive especially on the quality, display and battery. I couldn't agree more. 1 Max feels very solid and premium. The sound is just crazy loud, even when compared to HTC One

Worth or not it depends on what you need to use this phone for. The Note 3 is already a very good /excellent phablet. Its biggest strengths are in its better camera and S Pen ( if you need such). This HTC One Max is now my only Android phablet and since acquired it has already sold off my Note 3 and Xperia Z Ultra. I am very satisfied with it until yesterday ( upgarded to KitKat) - read my comments way below
This HTC One Max has a lower spec processor S600, poorer camera but beats the Note 3 convincingly in audio quality
I have posted before some benchmark figures an now reposting it . If benchmark is important and you play a lot of games, Note 3 might be a better choice

Here are some of the benchmarks recorded. As expected this phone loses out to the S800 chip found in Xperia Z Ultra and Note 3. Gamers might find this phone to be slight disappointing in performance. Anyway I don't play any of those high end games except Scrabble mainly. Other than that this phone can easily match the other two in general usage and seriously did not notice it to be any significant slower than the other 2 phones in other tasks

AnTuTu : 26525 vs 32005 ( note 3) and 31376 ( XZU)

Quadrant : 12454 vs 20947 ( Note 3) and 18531 ( XZU)

NenaMark2 : 60.5 fps vs 60.3 fps ( Note 3) and 60.0 (XZU)

Vellamo - HTML5/Metal : 2574/761 vs 2797/1077 ( Note 3) and 2950/1125 ( XZU)

3D Mark Ice Storm Extreme : 6968 vs 18234 ( Note 3 on IS Unlimited as Extreme was deemed too low n figure exceeded its limits) and 10891 ( XZU)

GeekBench 2 : 2978 vs 4054 ( Note 3) and 3697 ( XZU)

GFX Bench on Egypt HD Offscreen : 4698/42fps vs 7648/68fps on Note 3 and 6746/60 fps on XZU

Absolutely no such issues on my and friend's unit. Has only heard one HTC One guy ranting that he did see such in another gut unit. This problem very rare and not even talk much about at forum XDA

Update to KitKat upgrade : Battery life seems to be even better --- battery drain overnight yesterday over 7 hours only 1 % vs 2-3% previously. Need more observation to be conclusive on this point

The upgrade to kitkat on HTC One Max is overall disappointing. Unlike Samsung, HTC had not fix the write issue on external SDcard and gave us a half baked firmware. Now you cannot write to ext sdcard at all - eg copying files from internal memory to ext sdcard, using apps such as SMS Backup & Restore, WiFI File explorer, EAS backup which has option to save data to external SDcard.
HEck ! - you cannot even transfer files among folders in ext SDcard nor can you even delete any files on external Sdcard...It is really troublesome that now you need to take out the ext sdcard and do such stuffs on the PC with ext card inserted into any card reader. The versatility of ext Sdcard in this phone is now greatly diminished and now is darn inconvenient to use
HTC - please give us a fix to this. If Samsung can do it for their Note 3 KitKat, why not HTC ??
I am using a Sandisk 64 GB Class 10 card ( fat32 formatted ) with this phone

This issue is heavily discussed here :

GFX Bench on Egypt HD Offscreen : 4698/42fps vs 7648/68fps on Note 3 and 6746/60 fps on XZU
Absolutely no such issues on my and friend's unit. Has only heard one HTC One guy ranting that he did see such in another gut unit. This problem very rare and not even talk much about at forum XDA

Update to KitKat upgrade : Battery life seems to be even better --- battery drain overnight yesterday over 7 hours only 1 % vs 2-3% previously. Need more observation to be conclusive on this point

The upgrade to kitkat on HTC One Max is overall disappointing. Unlike Samsung, HTC had not fix the write issue on external SDcard and gave us a half baked firmware. Now you cannot write to ext sdcard at all - eg copying files from internal memory to ext sdcard, using apps such as SMS Backup & Restore, WiFI File explorer, EAS backup which has option to save data to external SDcard.
HEck ! - you cannot even transfer files among folders in ext SDcard nor can you even delete any files on external Sdcard...It is really troublesome that now you need to take out the ext sdcard and do such stuffs on the PC with ext card inserted into any card reader. The versatility of ext Sdcard in this phone is now greatly diminished and now is darn inconvenient to use
HTC - please give us a fix to this. If Samsung can do it for their Note 3 KitKat, why not HTC ??
I am using a Sandisk 64 GB Class 10 card ( fat32 formatted ) with this phone

This issue is heavily discussed here :

HTC had dropped the standard SOT notice that you commonly see in other Android such as Sony, Samsung, Nexus etc
To view your ST , use a 3rd party app such as GsamBattery Monitor

is gimmick feature as it is wrongly placed being at the back
my accuracy using it ranges 70-80% so as a daily tool is useless n only good to show off!!
at launch day the product manager just mentioned it n he didn't even demo it probably fearing it will not work the first time

i'm only using the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone..

for other apps, i rather access them from the lock screen.. haha..

but I am pretty amazed with the sound.. its pretty sweet and full..

I'm upgrading from note 2 and I must say, this is a pretty surprisingly good phone to use.. no complaints and no regret..

Oh, are there any changes from Jellybean to Kitkat?

Upgraded directly to Kitkat without using JB long enough.

Kitkat is a lousy upgrade . It disable the write features on ext sdcard n i have commented in these in earlier posts.
JB is already very good without it. Sense still remain as 5.5 n not 6 in kitkat
Kitkat has now made this an excellent phone into a handicap one

Not only this app, many other apps cannot write onto ext sdcard. HTC is silent on this. We hope they can give us a fix as what Samsung had done on the Note3. Meanwhile live with this problem

Im personally using one max. Its a solid and good phone in my opinion.. raged at first due to the placement of the fingerprint reader.. but its kinda handy after u get use to it..
price from directd always fluctuate from time to time.. last time the price for Note 3 went down to 1.8Xk plus for a new sme set... then hike up to 2k plus

In HTC one Max im not really sure since like its not getting popular hmm.gif hmm.gif wondering why.. this page has only 15 pages, consider very low if compare to other phones such as M7 or one X..

3 reasons I can think of

1 - Price
2 - Hardware . Most people feel S600 is outdated but then again , what's the point of having even S805 is manufacturers cant get this software right . Look at Z1 , all the latest spec as of last year yet , IMO , it's a rubbish . Battery sucks for a 3000mah battery, I can say I it's 60% of my G2 , washed out screen and the camera r over rated .
3 - A lot of users are skeptical over HTC products after so many problems with HTC One eg Purple tint , bad service from distributor , etc

Not butt hurt. I have only used 1 flagship model this far and so can't really compare the battery life with other brands flagship. That's y I asking you to share your experience lo. With your reputation here, I am sure you must have facts and data to support your statement. You wouldn't just simply say it without any base right?

Screen washout is a known fact. No need to argue also.

Exactly . Users had complaint about it during Xperia Z , they improved and made a great screen on Xperia ZU yet for a flagship that is newer then XZU , it goes backward instead of forward . Like I said , i used the phone only for a while and that was back in Oct/Nov . Fact wise , based on my usage , just on whatsapps connected via Wifi + 1 song trf via BT , i cant even get 7 hours without battery going flat . Screen on Time around 1 hour . This the last copy of my screenshot of Z1 on the day I took and decided , I'm getting rid of it even b4 my extended battery pack arrives , rest are deleted or somewhere .

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


And compare it to Note 3 , bigger screen , full 0.7" bigger yet with an additional of 200mah difference in battery , I dont see why the battery life is so much different

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


And as for HTC One Max , battery life is as good as note 3 . Sorry I dont have an screen shot 2 prove it as my mum "confiscated" it during CNY since she finds it easy to read on a big screen and also cuz it's red , taiwan edition . Anything more , just pm me . We wasted enough post talking something non-related .

Wow... Only 1 hour of sot is indeed ridiculously low.
I dunno maybe something wrong with your z1 that time? I played games (alot), online all the time ( either data or wifi), fb, whatsapp... Easily still can get 3 hour sot. And total Battery can at already last through my working day, I would say from 8am to 7pm, with usually 30% left.

Felt really big difference in your experience with z1 battery.

Yup. Have to agree on the screen.

Has given up on kitkat on this phone
And yesterday I had downgraded it back to JB 4.3
It has become so inconvenient to use it as on kitkat - whole phone is handicapped:

- unable to copy files from internal memory to ext Sdcard
- unable to even delete files on ext SDcard
- unable to manage/edit files on et SDcard
- unable to backup SMS on ext Sdcard- routine backup of APK ( once app is updated) on ext Sdcard through EAS backup not posssibe
- cannot transfer files to ext SDcard through wifi file explorer and can only delete files on ext SDcard

HTC had not responded to this ; unlike Sony, Samsung that comes with their own build in file explorer app that solves the first 3 issues ; HTC doesn't have such a build in app
I rooted the phone and tested a 3rd party app Nextapp SDFix but it doesn't work

the SD card issue didn't affect me that much as I don't use it that frequently..

and most of the time, I am around a PC, so the file transfer issues is still bearable

i'm looking forward to Sense 6.0 coming out on the 25th March with the new HTC..

Believe that by then, all the issues highlighted would be solved *fingers crossed*

after comparing with Z1 Ultra, Nokia 1520, Note 3, I decided to take this one.
First time Android user. Previously iOS user.

last night quite a pain, have to figure out how to transfer contacts.
Today after setup HTC Manager, realized, the manager can restore using iOS backup! Waster hours last night. ZZzz..

so far so good with kit kat update.
still trying to tweak and customize.

overall, I'm satisfied with this phone!! thumbup.gif

HTC doesn't have its own file manager to do that..all 3rd party apps cannot work
Just connect phone to PC n do the copying through PC or put extsdcard in a card reader n connect to phone using USB otg cable to copy files over
BTW you can set photos to auto save to ext sdcard to avoid such copying in future

my htc one max seems to be hard to capture closed up image..
*already change the scene to "macro" mode.. still very hard to focus..

another thing is when taking picture the backlight if too bright will cover the picture.. (such as taking photo at night the lamp post light will cover the pictre)

I'm thinking if getting a HTC One Max. I have a HTC One right now, but my HTC One camera has the purple tint issue, which is really annoying. I read that HTC One Max also using the came camera hardware as HTC One. Is the One Max camera ok? Does it suffer from the purple tint issue?

I'm thinking if getting a HTC One Max. I have a HTC One right now, but my HTC One camera has the purple tint issue, which is really annoying. I read that HTC One Max also using the came camera hardware as HTC One. Is the One Max camera ok? Does it suffer from the purple tint issue?

No; and yet to hear of any user here or at XDA saying such

That's good to know. Thanks.

One more thing to ask, one of the most outstanding feature of the HTC One is that when you browse the web and you pinch to zoom, the phone would automatically wrap the text on the screen so that we don't have to scroll left and right (just need to scroll up and down only). This is also the same when reading emails, I can just zoom in and make the fonts larger, and the phone would wrap the text so that everything appear on the screen without needing me to scroll left and right. As far as I know, no other phone manufacturer (Samsung, LG etc) can do this. Before I spend my money to buy the HTC One max, just want to confirm that HTC One Max can also do this text wrap? If you have HTC One Max, can you check for me? Thanks.

Its quite simple. When you are browsing the web using your phone, let's say you are browsing this forum using your HTC One Max, all the text should be "wrapped" so that you dont have to scroll left and right. See the screenshot below, the one with the normal font size. With the text wrapped like this, you just need to scroll up and down only. No need to scroll left and right.

Now, if you double tap on the screen or zoom to make the font bigger, the phone will automatically adjust the formatting and make all the fonts that has been increased in size to "wrap" or appear all on the same screen, so that you can read the entire sentence on the same screen. On other phones (e.g. iphone, ipad, samsung etc), if you zoom in and increase the font size, you will have to scroll right to read the entire (enlarged) text sentences. See the second screenshot, the one with the bigger font size. You can read all the enlarged text without needing to scroll right.

I took both screenshot using my HTC One. I just like to confirm that HTC One Max also can do the same.

as far as i know, text wrap is a feature removed since kitkat (google removed it). so most of the browser running in kitkat will no longer have this feature. but some 3rd party browser still have this feature like Opera and dolphin.

i'm not sure if the stock browser in HTC still have this feature or not.

Yeah, I know. Luckily for me, I waited before upgrading to KitKat. I am still using Jelly Bean on my HTC One, and after finding out about it, I have no plans to upgrade my HTC One to Kitkat. I am not going to install something that will remove one of the most useful features of this HTC phone.

But now since I am planning to buy HTC One Max....I'm just looking to confirm that those who are using HTC One Max on Jelly Bean still have this text wrap features, and those who has upgraded to KitKat, this feature has been lost. To those who has HTC One Max, can you check your phone for me? Thanks.

Just want to check, the text wrap is still functioning in email and browser? The article i read said text wrap email should still function, but web browser's text wrap function has been disabled by google. If HTC somehow can still do text wrap in browser, then that is great.

i tested everything u mention. In htc one kitkat, apps made by google confirm text wrap removed. mean chrome and gmail text wrap removed. but in htc default browser (which is internet) text wrap still functioning perfectly like before. Also Mail apps by HTC also text wrap functioning. So I dun think one max will make any difference.

Who said is "very bad". I'd say is quite good : SOT minimum 6-7 hours and if on wifi 8+ hours possible

I haven't really test Note 4 battery life as I uses it only 2+ hours a day. But initial observation Note4 is poorer as it has a 2k display. But Note4 battery is definitely better than other 2k display phones such as Find7 n LG3 probably by minimum 50% better
If battery life is important n you need a 6 inches the LG G Pro2 is a much better phone than this in practically every aspect
