    Send contact to car

    Not sure this is the best place to post this, but here goes anyway. I have paired my phone to my car (2017 Subaru BRZ with Starlink). I can transfer all my contacts. However, I just want to transfer two or three, so I am attempting to transfer them one by one. I am having zero success with...

    Google Voice Number

    I'm having problems with GV & Metro phone numbers. Sometimes when someone call me, I do not hear the phone ring from either number sometimes. If I restart the phone then both may ring, for a period then stop again. Sometimes I may feel the vibration and get notified of miss calls, that is how I...

    Screen stays black

    It seems the latest update did something to the screen sensor. Sometimes when I talk on the phone, the screen will stay black when I take the phone away from my face. I've had exact same problem with my old Zmax phone when they released the final update.

    Loss of battery life

    Is it just me or have other users noticed their screen on time is dwindling? I was pulling 7 or more hrs of s.o.t. (screen on time) when I first got the device. Now 5 or 5.5 hrs is the norm. Awfully dramatic change considering this phone isn't very old. Originally I thought Facebook was to...

    BatteryGuru 3.0

    BatteryGuru 3.0 works on our devices as a heads up if anyone wants to go hunt it down and install a copy of it. The playstore won't let you get it for some dumb reason, dunno why. So just search for snapdragon battery guru and install a copy of it if you wanna give it a whirl.

    OEM Unlock Tip.

    OK. Everyone is saying. "I just unlocked my bootloader by hitting OEM Unlock inside the dev menu!!!".... Sorry. But you didn't. But I can definitely say one thing for certain. The recent Galaxy core prime has a security feature that locks down the phones bootloader into a security threat mode...

    Laggy interaction?

    just received my zmax pro today. This phone feels really laggy. Even my old og zmax that has less than 100mb space and bogged down like crazy with kids games feels more snappy. I've hard reset/factory reset and it's the same feeling. Amy one have any ideas? There is no way my original zmax...

    I am going through the device trying to decipher what the specific emode codes for the ZMAX PRO are. I am trying to get into the emode USB switch menu in hopes that we have the USB accessory and USB host switch that the regular ZMAX had. I badly would love to get otg working on this sucker. Any...

    Windows 8 on ZMAX PRO???

    I have always been an old fashioned Windows XP PC junky. I am always using my phone nowadays since lugging around a laptop kind of sucks. I was scouring around the net and found this app called "Change My Software 8.1". Hmm.... This is just the thing I need. Install XP, 8, or 10 on my phone. Do...

    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?

    Screen Timeout

    So I just bought a new ZMaz Pro, (unlocked my first one and put on T-mobile). One problem I am having is the screen timeout. No matter what I put, the screen goes off in about 6 seconds. A bit annoying. Anyone else having this problem?

    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.

    Reliable unlock service?

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a reliable yet obviously legitimate unlock service? I didn't make the 90 day marker for Metro due to their lousy service, so now my T-Mobile SIM is being rejected of course. I see some services in ebay ranging from $3.00 all the way to $1000, but maybe...

    So I see people posting firmware ending in B07 and B04 for the T-mobile variant, the Metro version came with B08, but I just randomly decided to check for a software update on a whim and found b12 is available for my phone, it's a 368MB download so not a tiny update. Does anyone know anything...

    Fixing Heads-up notifications

    Since the Zmax Pro is plagued with numerous software issues, heads-up notifications being one of them, here's a little solution I found. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.floatify Floatify will throw a heads-up notification for every notification that appears like...

    Quick Charge

    Just got a message on the ZMax Pro I never noticed before. The phone's battery was down around 2% when I finally plugged it in (stock wall charger/cable). Battery Saver had enabled itself by then. Once I plugged it in, the screen automatically turned on, as usual. I happened to notice a...

    Phone auto opening apps, calling etc. Can't text with headphones in.

    I've noticed the top left app on my home screen is always highlighted as it currently selected. Is this normal? Also randomly the phone will act like I am repeatedly tapping the screen and it will open random apps, call people all while in my hand and not anywhere close to pressing on the...
