    Help Text & Call glitches

    Post patch: Data connection drops fixed(although with very high latency at times), BUT NOW: 1. Things come and go in bunches: some calls don't come in...later on a bunch of missed calls appear. Ditto texts, which also take forever to send AND my recipients receive dozens of copies of each text...

    Wish List - Zmax Pro 2

    Very unlikely, Axon 7 not that far ahead spec-wise. Anywho: Increase 6'', whatever little bit ok. Ditto Resolution. Ditto Ram. Ditto Storage. OTG NFC IR Removable Battery. Native support for Tmo Digits. The next version upgrade of Band Aggregation. Unlocked Bootloader. Your thoughts?

    Friendly Phone Unlock Tip

    Both Tmo & Metro preinstall a Device Unlock app. On Metro- after passing 90 days of consecutive service w/o arrears - open the app and follow instructs. It's super easy and almost Instantaneous.

    Help Metro Pcs @ ZTE ZMAX Pro Network Connection Trip Report: Amtrak- NY to VA

    WHY: Phone suffers connection problems(NYC). This is counterbalanced by the fact that when it is connected, the speeds are incredibly outstanding. Before exchanging, curious to see how it performs in other areas during this pre-planned train trip. PS disconnects fairly infrequent with LTE Off...

    I want to go on record opposing all these type topics. NOTHING good can come of it / we're ALL going to suffer eventually. First of all, the fixes are nothing new... they can be found "across the street" for all models / carriers ad nauseum. Those threads there are ongoing for years... the...

    Any issues, complaints, compliments. I'll start with: In-pocket case can open enough to trigger lockscreen on, then case cover recloses... repeatedly. When Lockscreen on, it keeps telling the case cover that its fingerprint not recognized, then to wait xx seconds before retrying... After so...

    Phone inside closed case(in pocket or upside down when set down*) = Alarms and/or Calls: no sounds or blocked completely. Inside 'open' case seems to alleviate issues. * when right-side up, after extended use, the cover(& thus its inner magnet) may not make full contact with phone - screen...

    Help Lose network frequently.

    EDIT, SEMI-FIX: switch to LTE Off. Cons - higher Latency(at times, not too many though, can seem like a cannot connect) & HSPA(or lower) vs LTE. Calling voice quality suffers / streaming can stutter at times. Pros - zero-INFREQUENT disconnects. Phone just loses network after extended...

    Network timeout. Feels like a hipri or modem sleep / resource conservation issue. I added new APN that disappeared, likely repeat of the System read only issue. Icons are just too huge...bigger than on that Jitterbug senior phone. The tap 2-3 times to magnify causes problems when you tap...

    Reasons to buy ZTE ZMAX PRO

    PS purchase alert- Suggested retail price is $179. You will pay this when buying a replacement "within 90 days of purchase"...(or give up # / get a new line). Many will eschew insurance, given the usual deductible + this low promo price. Keep in mind... OK... The main intent here is to...

    Root Can NFC be enabled?

    Is it at all possible to enable NFC when the processor supports it?
  20. H

    I'll start this off.

    Ignoring no NFC, I recommend you get this(yes, I mean YOU!). AND... don't be put off by the size. It's only a smidgen larger than Stylo. PLUS... the added benefit: ZMAX PRO @ 6" gives you that in true screen size, as its physical buttons- instead of soft- don't steal screen real estate...

    Help Hoped-for Features, ideally w/o root

    Dock beep removal..the sound when charger is connected. Boo to LG, other LG models + Samsung have setting for this. The opposite: Loud beep or alarm when unplugged...nice extra safeguard when charging in public.
