Did some more digging... Looks like it won't support LTE in the U.S. But it supports WCDMA (UMTS) bands 850/1900/2100. T-mobile uses 1900 (and 1700/2100), so it should support HSPA and HSPA+.

Hi, Android Central! I want to buy an unlocked ZTE nubia Z7 max. I've been googling, but apparently my google-fu...well...blows. Because I'm having an impossible time figuring out if it will work a) on T-Mobile and b) on T-Mobile LTE. This is from the Amazon listing: Network: Network type...

I hear ya, thanks!

Thanks for the thoughts. I wouldn't be as concerned about the Mate2 if it were 5", but as you said, 6" feels like it might make the lower ppi more noticeable.

So I'm waffling between these two off-contract phones... Primary importance is camera specs and display (which have a limit, because I know they're both midrange phones). They both have 13MP rear cameras. But the Mate2 has a 6.1" screen with a 720x1280 (240ppi) display. Where the nubia z7 mini...

Thanks for the heads up on Huawei -- that's definitely an important point. Hopefully other people can chime in about the camera on the S5 vs the Z2.

Hi, Android Central! I'm in the market for an unlocked GSM phone to use on T-Mobile's network. Camera is absolutely the most important attribute. I've read that the Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z2 both have very good cameras. But I've had a Galaxy S3 for 2 years and am really ready for a break from...

Hi, I'm want to make a movie built from a 1-second video taken each day. Sort of a time-lapse of my year. Being an absolute noob at editing, I don't want to get into extracting a 1-second segment from a longer piece of footage. Are there any 3rd party video recorder apps where you can set the...

I've been using My Data Manager, but have been looking into Onavo, which now tracks 4G usage as well as 3G. Curious if anyone has an experience with this program, as well as whether it's add-on, Onavo Extend, works as advertised to compress data usage. All the reviews I found about it claim it's...

My thoughts exactly -- I figure if one fails then there'll be a backup. And considering the ones I use (except for seekdroid) are free, I don't see a reason not to unless there was like some sort of random signal interference of something. I know on my laptop the antivirus programs can sometimes...

Interesting. This thread at XDA seems to say the opposite. Well, not that underclocking can be dangerous to the hardware, but that you get more power savings from undervolting. Has anyone damaged there s2 from undervolting - xda-developers I'm not siding one way or the other, just putting out...

Thank you! So all you did was set up those two screens? I'm assuming you lowered the regular upper limit of the CPU from 1.5ghz down to 1.3ghz just cuz it saves some juice and the slowdown is too minor to notice... No undervolting?

So I'm running CleanRom 2.0 and CleanKernel 1.0. I just installed SetCPU but have ZERO clue how to set it up... Would anyone be willing to share their settings? I'm interested in a bit of overclocking, but mostly interested in the battery-saving benefits of undervolting. BTW, I've searched. The...

Currently I have seekdroid and AndroidLost active on my phone. Since I use Google Voice for my texts rather than the regular SMSs via my cell provider, I haven't been able to get the remote control via SMS working...which is fine, since those two programs allow me to locate my phone via their...

Would you mind sharing how you set up the underclocking? I'm on CleanRom 2 and CleanKernel and not sure how to set it up...
