HTC One M8 (16GB, Gunmetal Grey, 4G)

Sony Z2

Sony Xperia Z2 D6503 (16 GB, White, 4G)

LG G3
$718
LG G3 D855 (32GB, Silk White)

seems like you add maybe $150 more you can get a S5, HTC M8 or the Z2. Personally I would go for one of those since the price difference is not as much (before the one+ was said to be starting at $349). But $150 to $200 isn't much of a price difference and with the bigger company there are less bugs with the OS, the hardware have less issue, better quality control and better warrnatly

Guys!
Just a heads up.
If anyone is having touch screen sensitivity issues like me or if the touch screen can't keep up with your typing try this:


From Phone:
1. Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=en
2. Open, type "su". Ensure it says root@A0001 or something like that.
3. Paste this command in: cat /sys/class/input/input0/baseline_test
4. Press enter.
5. Should be done, no need to reboot.


This pretty much fixed the problem for me and I can type half decent now. Still noticed missed letters from time to time but at least it's not as bad as before.

Whats your rogers apn settings?

Using this one:
APN - ltemobile.apn
Proxy - <not set>
Port - <not set>
Username- <Not set>
Passwors - <not set>
Server < not set>
MMSC - http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS - proxy 10.128.1.69
MMS - Port 80
MMS protocol - Wap 2.0
MCC - 302
MNC - 720
Aythentication type - < not set>
APN type - either "*" or "internet + mms" Should work

But when I ran a speedtest to vancouver server with the app, i was getting horrible speeds. Only said H+/3G on status bar.

TOS'd, pull down on ur quick settings then press the + sign to add more quick settings. Look for the LTE box and add it to ur quick settings. That might or might not help. Phone should say 4G or LTE if you have updated to 4.4.4. Also your apn settings are the same as mine.

picked mine up from PR
if you are doing the same, declare $365 (don't say what currency), print the invoice from the website (never got one in pckg)

cbsa guy handed me back the invoice without even opening it up and asked $$ worth, tobacco, firearms, etc then let me on my way

the tracking img i posted was the USPS tracking website, for standard continental shipping w/i US

total paid: $410 CAD, ~363 USD and some gas

I havent updated, still on 4.4.2 because of the battery draining claims on the new update. I'll check tonight, didnt know I needed another toggle for LTE, thought if the network was on 4G recommended it would be fine.

Do you know what this does exactly? Or if this is reversible. If its on XDA, you can just link it too.

Thanks.

The one+ have no SD card slot while most of the phones does (S5, LG G3, M8 etc) so getting an extra 128GB or even just 64GB isn't that expensive.
While the ONE+ is cheaper, it is not a proven phone yet. The yellow tint issue on the screen is a pretty big issue to some people. I am sure in a few years the One+ will turn out great when all the bugs have been iron out. Now will one+ did what Xiaomi did earlier (sending all of your data back to their server in China unencrypt and then deny it only to have to admit it again after it is proven.) Now if I am sure our info is being sent to the US or what country you happen to be in but I feel a little safer to have my info with the Canada Gov then the Chinese Gob. For now I will stick with one of the flashship phones.

^ Lol, cant even buy the 16GB model yet. And "soon" is random, it could be 3 weeks after you ordered your own or up to a couple of months.

On another note, 80k invites are rolling out for members on the forum, total member count at 188k.

codes? I never used any codes... is this for a new version?



My Diztronic case just came in the mail... Got the blue version... Fits really nice and snug... makes the phone slippery.. lmao.. best part of the case, it covers all the way up to the glass screen.... unlike most cases that leave the metal bezel uncovered..

Nope, APN settings were already there after i put my sim card in. I read somewhere that you might have to call into rogers and tell them to provision your phone.

My tempered glass screen protector arrived and I'm very happy with the fit and quality. The packaging was very good! It been included dust stickers, a wet wipe and a microfibre cloth.

It's the Orzly one. Works fine with my Diztronic case.
