    I just switch phones and to metropcs. I have been using 3rd party usb tethers for years.

    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...

    How many units sold?

    I noticed that the MetroPCS website seemed to sell out of the ZMAX PRO within the first few hours of it becoming available. I ended up getting the last one at a store. How many ZMAX PRO's do you think they moved on the first day? I'm hoping the phone is a huge success and also I hope it brings...

    Root ZTE ZMAX Pro (Z981) "off topic" root discussion

    Sorry off topic but looking at the build prop it suggests we have HDMI out? If so then wow.

    We have a gyroscope!

    I ran a benchmark with antutu (scored 46k ish) and noticed we have a gyroscope when browsing the info section. I downloaded the Google camera app. Photosphere works flawlessly. Tried VR and sure enough head tracking worked but now where the hell can we find a cardboard to fit this 6inch...

    VoLTE? YES

    When the original ZMAX was released it did not have VoLTE enabled. The ZMAX PRO does not have VoLTE. Is this phone even capable of VoLTE and is there a possibility to add the feature through a future phone update?

    USB-C port limited to Quick Charge v1.0?

    Does the phone have ability to Quick Charge with an appropriate charger? Current charge is about 1% per minute. 100 minutes (1 hour 40 minutes) for a full charge from 0% to 100%. Why would they add a USB-C port without Quick Charge ability? If that's the case, it will make it much more...

    Help List of things that need dev work

    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...

    I'm in this on day 1.

    Just picked up my zmax pro a couple hours back. In for a good time here I hope . I'm coming from a stylo and happy to ditch it finally. Was holding out for a Nexus device but this phone is too good to pass up

    Preregistration folio case?

    Did anyone else preregister? I did but never received any email, text, or any other sort of confirmation. I called my local store to ask and they didn't know anything about it. They told me to call customer support, but since I haven't signed up yet, it seems literally impossible to get through...

    Root ZTE ZMAX Pro (Z981) root discussion

    I'm starting this thread so that we can possibly work together to try to find a way to get root on this phone and compare notes on what we have tried. To be honest, I doubt that we are going to get root without a custom recovery and a way to flash it. I think that the key is either ftm mode...

    Exact Total Price Handset Purchase Scenarios for Metro PCS

    In spite of Label, I am NOT sure these days, so trying to collect exact info for everyone's benefit. Expect to pay IN STORE $99 + tax + $15 upgrade fee + $15 activation fee irrespective of whether you provide previous handset's sim. Save that $30 by purchasing AND activating ONLINE. Re...

    New Zmax Pro Already in Some Stores

    I saw yesterday that some MetroPCS retailers are already selling the zmax pro, and some people are already buying theirs. Just keep in mind that if you pre-registered you won't be able to get your free case (which comes in the mail 4-6 weeks later) unless you buy the phone between August 1st...

    Root Can NFC be enabled?

    Is it at all possible to enable NFC when the processor supports it?
  21. 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...
