Anything for HTC Max 4G?

Is there any owner of this new HTC gadget in this forum?
HTC Max 4G, the first 4G phone in the world
So far I cannot find anything for my new Max, except microSD.
If there's accessory producers reading this forum, please take into consideration this amazing WinMo device!

Welcome to the forum
MaybaI can be mistaken, but I think you are the first HTC Max user on this site, can you please post some pictures and reviews for the rest of us?
I´m sure someone will give you the right direction on your questions
Good luck,

Please excuse me for replying late... only saw your post now
Here are some pictures (hopefully flickr links work; first two photos were taken by SonyEricsson P1i)

The officer on the picture is the ad of a 2008 Russian film "Admiral", which can be watched on the Yota TV channel.
(Yota is the name of the 4G network)
Features
My poor translation from Russian to English --> both languages are foreign to me.
"Yota. Now Music and favorite TV are always with you.
All the best of music. Tens of TV channels.
2 years free of charge. Already in operation.
Internet. Fast than ever.
Amazing high speed access to 4G Mobile WiMax.
Always on-line. No limit".
Opening

As a newby I am limited to only 4 pictures... so I post separately.
Minimum accessories, no soft case no microSD -- not reasonable for a $1300 phone
Close resemblance to HTC HD

No flash
Only 3 buttons -- I really hate the guy who removed the 'cancel' button

Comparison to iPhone
Sorry I cannot write any review now since it is my first WinMo phone. Perhaps after weeks I can give some comment.

I wonder how the contrast and resolution of the screen compares to the iPhone. But please let us know your thoughts on the phone once you've broken it in.

Thanks a lot Begovaya!!
I´m sure this are the first exclusive pics of Max on this site!
Thanks a lot and hope you can post your reviews about it once you´ll get more familiar with it.
About comparisions with other devices it has almost the same specs as HTC HD, and there are already thousands of comparisions between them, so let´s no waste time on it (Just a suggestion).
The most important here is the WIMAX service so let us know about it in detail.
About the accesories you are looking for, I´m sure you can use the same as the HD ones, same case for software and apps (Someone correct me if I´m wrong):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=451
I´m sure soon Max will have it´s own dedicated thread

Thanks for response! I guess you mean "Spasibo".
Also thank you for telling me the HD forum.
Regarding the 4G WiMax network, I'll share the experience in the HD forum.

I think the owners of HD can tell about this better than I. The screen is larger than iPhone (it's only noticeable when you place them side by side)
The resolution is fantastic and it is the first phone that makes me feel surfing is alright on a phone.
Some people say 65k colors are enough. THAT AIN'T TRUE. I copy my favorite photos which I took by a Canon EOS 5D (of course the files are shrunk to reasonable size) to the Max4G. The 'discontinuity of color gradient' is very obvious. (I hope you understand my English) That's due to TOO FEW COLORS.
But still, the resolution is great and photos look subtle.

65k is a problem, but phone is not guilty for this. The problem is in Microsoft e.g in Windows mobile. It only supports 65k. Maybe in new versions it will be corrected

WiMax 2.5Ghz Maidstone Kent UK
Hello, Does any one know if this handset will work on my Local Wimax service in Maidstone Kent the trial is being conducted by Mobile Wimax Acceleration Group M-WAG and is running on a 2.5ghz band, i will contact Kerl Haslam at M-WAG today and ask about access to this service, seen sevice in daily use with emergency services and police. Going back to russia in two weeks so tempeted to pick one of these HTC handsets

So my question is, can you tether the WiMax service to a desktop PC?
If so, what is the speed test results?

I'm not sure which bands YOTA uses, but according to HTC "Mobile WiMAX: IEEE 802.16e (2.5 ~ 2.7 GHz)" which means it should operate on any 2.5Ghz network, but I'm speculating on that part as I've not had experience with WiMax

It should work, but maybe phone is locked in some way to Yota

Yes, there is a built-in program "Modem WiMax", according to the manual, you can use HTC Max4G as a modem for PC or notebook.
However, the WiMax coverage in Moscow isn't satisfactory yet. So such test is not possible for me now.
Sorry I'm a WinMo newbie and my knowledge is limited, not able to say anything further.

Clear WiMax was just introduced in Portland Oregon. It would be a kick to setup the phone as unlocked, and then use it as a modem as well. I don't think they would allow that though, access is via a usb dongle for mobile and a paperweight modem for desktop use:
https://www.clear.com/clear_gear.php
$50/month for broadband mobile internet, VOI telephony. It's a total win.

portland wimax
I live in Portland too and am very curious about " Clear WiMax. Has any one who reads here posess the skills to abapt Clear's USB Dongle to mini USB, rewrite the necessary software, and do whatever else is necessary to make wimax work on my HTC Blackstone?
I would gladly pay for any equipment and fees necessary to have this project end with favorable results!
Please contact me at this email with questions and answers.
[email protected]
P.S The rights to any potential commercial product would remail with the fabricator, I just want to be the first one to benifit from it's use.
sincerly,
John Nance

John, I think it would be worth running down to a Clear store with a usb dongle to see if it would somehow work with your phone.
fwiw, Clear has no way to reach tech support, or even leave feedback on getting an HTC or Nokia wimax phone into their lineup.
I was at a BestBuy and Clear was there, but it was the usual idiots who only sell contracts. They are the lowest of the low - I knew the nation was in trouble when I started meeting cell phone salesman-like idiots telling me they were 'mortgage brokers'....but that's another story.

Has anyone confirmed that mods and software for Blackstone are compatible with the Max?
Seriously considering picking up an unlocked one once the price comes down a little bit. It is supposedly a long way out before where I live in China will see 3G coverage, so I will have to live with EDGE no matter what handset I buy. The design of the Max is spot on, and it would suit my needs well enough.

WP7 completely invisible in the Netherlands

I am seriously worrying about how Microsoft are expecting to sell WP7 phones here in the Netherlands given that nobody seems to know they exist! All the time I see commercials on iPhone, Androids like Galaxy and so on, via TV, billboards, email. But Windows Phone 7? Not a sound. Not a glimpse. Is this silence before the Mango storm? How is this in other countries?

Pretty much the same. But I remember one billboard for WP7 next to quite frequent highway, it was there for nearly a month, back in January or December I think. I converted few people to WP7 already, but it is tough one ("so where is the internet sharing? Wifi would be the best." "there is no official way." "$#[email protected]!")

Me and a friend have one, other than that have never seen one in Holland either. But it mainly has to do with no official support in Holland yet, no marketplace, buggy locale settings, buggy push on TMobile, no dutch language. Mango will bring these and than we might expect to see more, certainly because nokia will probably release ads.

wp7
Microsoft is well aware that good and fast OS design and not finished functionality is not enough for them to ring all the advertising bells, because right now (with NoDo), iOS an Android would kill them with all-round possibilities. Mango - that's more like it. I have tried B2 and found out that it has almost everything that was left out in current OS.

They hit London pretty hard with advertising at launch. Must have bought up a good portion of Tube advertising for weeks. Been quiet this year though. A little bit of WP7 advertising about, but I think Microsoft have decided to cut their losses until Mango. There's not exactly anything new to sell right now, and the public clearly weren't interested in what they were offering last year.

In Italy no one knows it exists. When I show it to someone, they go either:
1) ah, it's an iphone, right ?
- I walk away
2) an, nice, it's the galaxy uh... what's the name ?
- nope, it's an omnia 7, the new windows phone from microsoft
- errr... what ?
- Windows Phone. Microsoft. See this logo ?
- errr... uhm ... so it's a galaxy s ?
- NO IT'S AN OMNIA 7. But it has Windows Phone system in it. You know, an operating system ?
- ah uhm... yes. And it's not an iphone ?
- I walk away

Fairly unknown in Norway as well, hopefully that changes with the official release over here when the new Mango phones hit.

Unknown in india as well
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Really really unknown at Netherlands Antilles (Curacao).
/sad

I think thet they're awaiting the Mango launch (escpecially since that's what Swedens Microsoft reps says, but thats mainly because it wont launch officially here until then).
Otherwise I love when conversations goes like this:
"Oh, your phone is pretty fluid, what launcher are you using?"
"No, no. This is a Windows Phone 7. Unlike Android it works as it should right out of the box and it's almost impossible to get an Android phone this fast."

Lolz, similar situation here. In Malaysia.
Another experience,
I walk in to a HTC booth hosted by authorized reseller in PC Expo, the representative approach me when I'm looking at 7 Mozart, then he ask me,
"Sir, looking for a handset?"
"No, I already owned one of this" (pointing to the Mozart)
"Why sir didn't try android? It can do pretty much everything can be done in WINDOWS" (WINDOWS is the exact word he use while pointing the Mozart)
"I don't think so"
"I don't believe, what kind of task that WINDOWS can done while android can't, android got lots of apps, office, blah blah blah..." (in the meantime taking his HTC Sensation / HTC Desire, I didn't really paid attention to his phone)
"It is hard to tell you, just let me show you" (Take my mozart out which preloaded with Mango 7661 and showing him the integration of FB and Windows Live plus the threading which integrate FB chat and MSN)
"Android can pretty much do the same if you download apps from market..." (I halt his speech)
"But I prefer to do these tasks seamlessly and without all those apps hussle"
Then he is somehow provoked by me and I walked away while going to see the pretty showgirl which handling the HTC Flyer.

No marketing here in Denmark either but when you think about it, we're not really supposed to have it anyway.
It was really hard to track down a WP7 phone here in Denmark around November.
I had three choices:
A Omnia 7 with 3 - Not a possiblity since i have Telia with my work, they were also sold out.
A Throphy i had to wait a month for (even though it was released at that time)
A HD7 US import. (Really expensive)
Ended up with my Trophy! Glad i didn't go for Android.

i think i live in the singularity, where 6 of my friends have it, too (switzerland)
but for others, i tell them it's not an iphone the 20iest time..

Thanks for all the responses, people! I don't feel quite so alone any more

people in Switzerland know how to buy quality

They may want to coordinate with Nokia for a big push with the new Nokia phones. Nokia had a huge retail presence in Europe the last time I was there. I think the advertising dollars would be best saved for Mango + Nokia in every shop.

Here in Taiwan (home of HTC), WP7 devices are very visible; pretty much every medium to large phone retailer that stocks HTC phones has one or more Windows Phones.
However, those on display collect dust while consumers play with the Iphones and Android handsets. The reason is obvious; no one here speaks english, so with no current option for Chinese display or input there's no way the average Taiwanese consumer will even be able to operate the device, let alone think about buying it.
No Chinese combined with zero support for Bing maps, Bing local search and no Taiwanese app store makes me question why they even bothered launching here.

Kickstarter Project to fund all development for Android and Windows CE devices starts 2/22/2013 | This is a private venture, not a corporate effort.
THIS IS A CALL FOR HELP FROM ANY AND ALL AUTOMOTIVE LOVERS AND DEVELOPERS FOR HELP TO GET THIS FINISHED.
There will be a job posting on XDA this week with more info.
What is ELA?
Full Video and Demo
ELA is a downloadable touch screen interface on your Android Device or WinCE Hardware that makes the hardware easier to use while in a moving vehicle.
E – Elegant
L – Logical
A – Adaptive
Touch screen systems in cars have become either so difficult to use or don’t have the features needed to keep the current crop of tech drivers happy. Automotive manufacturers don’t have the resources or desire to create open source setups as of yet to make the cars we are driving today updatable or upgradable for the life of the car. The design and concepts of ELA were created by the automotive enthusiasts with a focus on ease of use. The UI (User Interface) is designed to be for the novice or hard core geeks.
Why?
Because there is so much the android platform can offer for next to no cost. The features that we can add to our vehicles is endless, keeping the tech in the car relevant while not having to spent more on the factory options for NAV etc. that will be out dated in just a year or two.
Features:
Fluid elegant interface
Large easy to access icons and layout for moving vehicles
Designed around most proposed federal safety standards
Gesture support
Simply and intuitive operation with little or no knowledge tech knowledge required
Extensive and exhaustive customization ability
All android functionality intact, no handicaps
History:
Design Started 2 years ago and has reached the level where demand has out stripped the capabilities of one person.
5000 Windows CE Downloads for Hyundai Veloster
Performance Meter Demo at 10:40:

Whether or not you want to help or not with the project I'd like feedback.
The XDA community is probably one of the most hard core, so I value all opinions.

Does this have any Bluetooth OBDII options? If so I would like to try it. Think you can just attach the beta version here?
*Edit - I see in the video that it does have OBDII options.

I will post up the beta versions on here for sure, just need to get the initial work done. Yes the OBD2/BT support is all dependent on your tablet you use.
Which basically every Android device for the most part does not have any issues with. Nexus 7 obviously does but that's more with Audio.

I love the look of it. It makes me want to make a mount for it in my car

It's going to be a lot of work to garner the support have to raise awareness. I think car people once they see it will want it.
Here are two more quick themed looks:

Re: [Q] ELA Automotive UI | Pre-Release
Having wasted money before on a kickstarter software project (hint: learn about the Chameleon Android launcher fiasco) I'd warn folks away from supporting them via kickstarter.
That said it does look like a great concept and I hope it develops into a real product.

I can't offer any useful advice and do hope you can find folks somehow. The old fashioned way of going door to door to venture capital people with a business plan is fine for a small business but it's total overkill for the type of thing you want to do so I can really understand the appeal of what kickstarter offers.
I just learned the hard way about kickstarter. You can't get any money back because the site itself in the fine print explicitly spells out that nothing is guaranteed. And the site people don't seem to provide any policing of projects. I assume it's because they make their money by taking a cut of the funds pledged.
As long as the people pledging funds realize that the money can just as easily be spent on an overseas vacation as for the actual reason being pledged and that there are no guarantees at all I don't have any objection to the idea. And I've seen some good projects but they were all material based not intellectual based.
If I saw an honest appeal for a software or even a hardware based project that relied on software that said something along the lines of "we are going to try this but it may be a complete flop" in their appeal I'd be more willing to support kickstarter projects. Obviously it wouldn't be as blunt as what I offered but I'm just looking for a bit more honesty about projects. A pledge of even $20-30 shouldn't break most people's bank so it's not a major deal. But I really dislike feeling like I've been a sucker.

That is very helpful thanks for that insight. This seems to be the hardest part of all of this. I am trying to gather as much interest and support from people before getting down to the nitty gritty of that.

You are not really hacking it, its just a straight install you don't even need root.
And when you pull it out of the car you can easily go back to the N7 UI or whatever tablet UI you use.

Seems like a good idea. Can't do anything else but tell you to keep up the good work and hope you get what you need.

I wish you the best of luck with this. I just got a N7 today and will be doing a custom fiberglass mount into my car so I can mainly utilize Google Music and not have to transfer music all the time. I saw the ELA project and it looks amazing. Hopefully this evolves into something awesome!

Thanks for the support, I hope it works out and helps everyone who uses Android in their car,

Been following development on the g+ page, hopefully you can get people on board that are able to assist. Perhaps speaking to one of the Mods/Admins and see if a "call for Developers" can be made on the front page. I don't know but i think this is a great concept not only for the car but i see it useful in the home as a media center ui. Too bad i don't code or i would've jumped at the chance to help out.Good luck!!

Great idea. I'm a big car person. Unfortunately not a developer, I would love be your beta tester and give u feedback. Is it still alive? Haven't seen any update

It looks like this project may be dead. It's possible the dev was not able to continue due to personal or other reasons.

For the last 10 years, XDA-Developers has been a central pillar in the world of mobile device development. What started as a shared idea of a few enthusiasts, hackers, and developers, has evolved into a massive online community with members and developers from across the globe. Despite the size of our community, our ethos still stands strong: to advance the technology we use by means of research and collaboration. Our community has grown the way it has because people don’t like being chained to anything, let alone to a device that is bound to become obsolete within 6 months of hitting the market. That is the ideal that moves our community, but the driving force behind it is the ability and willingness to learn from each other. As a result of that thirst for knowledge, our devs have been able to accomplish the seemingly impossible (at least according to the very people who create the devices we own and love), which is to improve, adapt, and perfect, and even revive the devices.
We have seen some of, if not all, of the greatest names in this field taking off on our site and growing into giants in the mobile scene. People with similar interests congregate in the virtual walls of our forum and work towards a better future. XDA: DevCon is all this but taken a step further by tearing down the virtual walls and closing the distances that separate our community members from each other. The main objective of the conference is very simple: to take what we normally do in our forum and bring it live to maximize the experience and to learn from the very best. Most importantly, we aim to do it while having fun, just like the hobby this is meant to be. We’ll learn, laugh and have fun in the true spirit of XDA – collaboration.

Hello, do any things for help the team, thanks.

@jerdog - i booked my ticket on day 1 but I am going back to India on the same weekend so I won't be able to attend the dev con. Is is possible for me to get a refund and cancel my ticket?
Thanks

I love modified my phone that's why I like xda-developers

For the last 10 years, XDA-Developers has been a central pillar in the world of mobile device development. What started as a shared idea of a few enthusiasts, hackers, and developers, has evolved into a massive online community with members and developers from across the globe. Despite the size of our community, our ethos still stands strong: to advance the technology we use by means of research and collaboration. Our community has grown the way it has because people don’t like being chained to anything, let alone to a device that is bound to become obsolete within 6 months of hitting the market. That is the ideal that moves our community, but the driving force behind it is the ability and willingness to learn from each other. As a result of that thirst for knowledge, our devs have been able to accomplish the seemingly impossible (at least according to the very people who create the devices we own and love), which is to improve, adapt, and perfect, and even revive the devices.
We have seen some of, if not all, of the greatest names in this field taking off on our site and growing into giants in the mobile scene. People with similar interests congregate in the virtual walls of our forum and work towards a better future. XDA: DevCon is all this but taken a step further by tearing down the virtual walls and closing the distances that separate our community members from each other. The main objective of the conference is very simple: to take what we normally do in our forum and bring it live to maximize the experience and to learn from the very best. Most importantly, we aim to do it while having fun, just like the hobby this is meant to be. We’ll learn, laugh and have fun in the true spirit of XDA – collaboration.

Would love to go to this, unfortunately I am unable to attend as I live in Australia, I do not have a passport, and I am only 17.
Would be a great kick to my development career if I could though!
Looking forward to a live stream of the event!

Well, due to the timing I'm out. But I have to ask - please consider something up here in Chicago. Got a lot of folks that could probably make it out here quite easily thanks to O'Hare and Midway - or drive, CTA, etc...

Less then 2 weeks until the Party Starts, I cant wait!

In case anybody's interested, here's a site that shows parking rates near the hotel (1395 Brickell Avenue) -- www.parkme.com (clicking the link launches search for the address and prompts for date(s) and times).
Cheapest: Miami-Dade College's parking garage, next to College-Bayside Metromover station parking garage[/url]. $5/day. You aren't going to do better than this. Roughly 20-25 minutes away by Metromover (free, 1.5 to 5 minute headways between 7am and midnight daily, roughly 1 block walk at both ends of the trip. Make sure you board "Brickell Loop").
For overnight parking, another cheap(-ish) option is 777 Brickell Avenue's garage... $10/day (resets at 7am, but doesn't become cheap until after 9pm Friday). Depending on headways, it might (or might not) be worth boarding Metromover at Eighth Street station and riding it to the end.You won't really save any time vs walking, but it's air conditioned.
For reference, the hotel itself charges guests $26/day for self-parking (no in/out), and $46/day ($38 + taxes) for valet (in/out allowed). I don't know whether non-guests are charged the same amount.
Other transportation options:
Metrorail now goes directly to the airport. Board at MIC (don't worry about color or direction... any train leaving the airport is going to be southbound Orange line). Get off at Brickell Station (one station south of Government Center). Transfer to Metromover (free, follow signs) and go south to the end of the line (Financial District Station). If you get on a car going the wrong direction and end up on the other side of the river in downtown Miami, just chill and enjoy the unplanned detour. It'll loop around downtown once, and head right back & end up at the right station.
For another year or so, Tri-Rail's airport station is closed due to construction, so if you're transferring to or from Metrorail, the original transfer station between 'Hialeah' and 'Northside' is still your only good option (you could technically take Tri-Rail to "Hialeah Market" station & take the shuttle to MIC, but it would be kind of silly).
Beware... Metrorail runs every 30 minutes on weekends, and neither Metrorail nor Tri-Rail even TRY to coordinate transfers. If northbound Metrorail and Tri-Rail trains arrive simultaneously, there's a 97% chance that one or both will deliberately leave before the screaming, desperate passengers running up or down the escalator 3 steps at a time get anywhere near the other train's platform unless one or more sympathetic passengers take matters into their own hands and stand in the doors so they can't close. The last two northbound trains on Saturday & Sunday depart from the Metrorail transfer station at 6:27pm and 9:52pm.

Excited to be attending. Thinking of setting up a little live blog action. Any qualms with licensing or anything like that?

Hopefully, 30% chance means it won't happen. Its been raining everyday in Kansas for awhile, and want to get to a part of the country where its sunny.

By South Florida standards, a "30% chance of rain" is practically a drought. :laugh:

All kidding aside, if they end up needing to scrape together another presentation if they have someone bail or want to tack one on to the very end, it would be awesome if they could find someone to give a "CM/AOSP/AOKP: source to S3" presentation that
* sets up a virgin build environment
* builds them all the way to a flashable ROM (showing all the first-time problems that get encountered along the way & how to fix them), then
* flashes that shiny new source-built ROM to an American S3 (or some comparable American phone that's not a Nexus and requires a bit of work to actually end up with a real, flashable ROM), including all the stuff necessary to make both the proprietary hardware and carrier-specific services work.
I'm using the American S3 as an example, mainly because it's probably the single most popular Android phone in terms of sheer numbers, it's mature enough to be relatively well understood (but still a b**ch to get an actual, flashable, fully-working ROM for), and the American versions all have identical hardware insofar as Android itself has to care.
Then again, something like this would probably have to be a multi-day bootcamp-type event, just because there's such a staggering amount of ground to cover... like having people who are attending get their prerequisite build environment set up (Ubuntu or Mac) and able to make it through some automated build without dying before arrival, then do the actual bootcamp the day before the conference itself begins. Or, to get really adventurous, maybe spend the day before the conference begins having the Nexus bootcamp laying the foundation, then have the "guerrilla warfare non-Nexus" bootcamp pick up where the Nexus one ends the day after the conference is over.

Depends where you live. It isn't illegal if you stream where I live just unethical

Best Kodi Add-on
My favorite Kodi add on is not even an ADD-on. I like a specific Build with all the add ons in it.
Google this: "spinz kodi builds"

I like The Royalist build; mostly because it has an interface that doesn't look like a poster you'd find on the wall of a teenage boy's bedroom. Nice, clean and minimalistic. Very tasteful

Dear god spare us the sad story lol

For me it's Ice Films, Kiss (Anime, Cartoon), and US TV Now.

Same here... Though in theory you could still be in trouble if you manage to get caught. The thing is it's to much bother for the Rights holders to just go after everyone with a Kodi Box. And for the moment there is no criminal code in the books to stop anyone from doing so.
So at worst it's a civil offence, and until that changes its up to one's own moral compass to judgde.
But is it not odd that the fist Ones to yapp up about this, are also the first ones that also condone ripping their DVDs & Bluerays into their NAS Boxes? Of course you point that hypocrisy to such People at you own risk. Of course back than it was still about how to read a TV Subscription SmartCard to be shared along a line of Networked DVRs. Again not against the law as such... But, definitely against the T&C's of the Contact.

I use Paradox build on all my devices.
Its quality one stop solution with frequent updates and good support
