All cred to hardcore, the man!
Disable HSPA/HSDPA
All hail hardcore!
Good times, thanks for this. I remember seeing something about it but could never find the thread.
How did this never get posted before lol? November is a long time for us to not realize a cross-platform item.

I know, right?
I don't upload and don't download much either; I'd leave it on Edge if I didn't want to be able to talk and use data, so this is just what I needed.
Awesome link!!!! Thanks! Much better battery life now!

Wow this is great! My DL and UL speeds with 3G are almost the exact same or close to the speeds of HSPA, with less battery drain!! Awesome. 3G is just strong in my area, waaaaaay better signal. Thanks again.
Looking at how my phone changes from "H" to "3G", it seems to do it intelligently. When nothing that requires data is done on the phone, such as scrolling through homescreens or being in your app drawer, 3G is used. When data is needed, such as loading web pages or downloading "H" is used. With this auto switching, it seems like the phone does try to optimize battery life between HSPA and 3G so I don't think this fix is really that necessary.
The only thing I noticed is that is when using gTalk, it switches between HSPA and 3G depending on if a message is being sent or if the phone is stationary. If I send a message, "H" comes on and when I don't, it's "3G". If changing between HSPA and 3G does drain battery, then this could be a source of battery drain if you send small messages quickly (how one would chat) back and forth.
Can anyone chime if it consumes battery when it changes between 3G and H?
It doesn't consume more when switching, but HSPA consumes a lot more than 3G. I was previously running HSPA all the time and now just 3G. I did this trick yesterday and I am seeing very good results already.
Bumping this bcuz this is really a battery saver!!!!

Indeed. I'd remembered DG mentioning hspa as a big battery drainer. So when I stumbled on to this little app I was def interested
I am def getting much better battery with the HSPA.

YES, I did search for this before i posted. Found no one with this issue:
Has anyone been having slower data speeds since upgrading? I was most likly the very first person to put this one my fone at 10am when it when live...that said, ever since then, using the Speedtest app, i have YET to get over 2mbs DOWNLINK speed.
In fact, both Up and Downlink speed have been completly SUB-megabit. If i ran it 50 times from the day It was released till now, there have been only 2 times where i have gotten 1+ megabits.
I dont live in a bad area(for the most part); just in Springfield MO. Proir to 2.2 my speeds ranged from 3 ish downlink and around 1megabit uplink....not terribly fast by any means but now, its a helluva lot more annoying...
Any opinions, help, advice, criticisms, or the like, from anyone??
Removed unhelpful posts...please dont bother posting a reply if you have nothing helpful to say.

Were you running stock before or were you running a custom ROM/kernel/modem? The modem is the most likely culprit. I personally am not running the KB1 update that AT&T pushed out but I have seen some posts here and there with people mentioning a drop in data speeds. Is HSPA running on your phone when you are testing?
Everything was stock proir to me updating, nothing at all custom. I was rooted and had the OneClickLagfix 2.0 installed (which i fully removed before updating). But that was it..
Yes HSPA was on. I used one of the codes(well, an app that has a whole list of the codes) ud use in the dialer to check. Both "HSUPA" and "HSDPA" had a "[1]" next to it, so i left the option to leave it "on", alone so i wouldnt mess up anything. My speeds have ben horrible; any update i have takes way too long, and im still getting sub-mega bit speeds even as we speak...i may email, or go to the store to see what could be up..
I've looked around and can't find anything. Is it impossible to trick the Bionic that 4G is WiFi?
Curious why?
Probably looking to get around data usage.
I'm interested in this as well. I think it's pretty lame that when I try to upload a video (1080p 1min duration) from my phone to Youtube it tells me I have to be on WiFi. Maybe this is to prevent users from exceeding their allotted data limit...or just cut down on traffic, but I don't like it.
fooling ur 4g for wifi
actually i think ur on to something they may want to control the data usage and the traffic but they still throttle for that purpose they can lie all they want bout vzw not doing that but bs we all know they do! im sure give it time and someone will figure out a way to fool the phone hell y not they come up with everything else! remember droid does!
I, too, wouldn't mind this.
Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.

various reasons. One is so that I won't be restricted when certain apps require wifi (i.e. some Amazon Apps). It's ridiculous to require wifi when Verizon's LTE is so blazing fast.

DTR mods are nothing more than a placebo. They are based on a gross misunderstanding of how throttling works and are no more effective than wrapping your phone in aluminum foil and slathering it with apple butter.
MMMmmmmmm... apple butter.
Other than that, maybe check out my attempt to get anyone interested in what you are referring to.

does nobody else think the vibrant have a weak wifi reception?. i have 2 and i think compared to all my buddies other phones it is pretty weak. stock or not. at work i can barely pickup 2 bars in my area if any at all, 3 for a short while if im lucky. while everybody else has 3 to 4 in same area. even the metro pcs huwaie phones can pickup where i cant. thats a shame.yes i have tried different modems. some work better than others but it still wasnt acceptable to me soooooooo, what i did was the same thing as the gps hardware fix but i did it to the wifi antenna. (atleast i think its the wifi) same copper tab on the other side. it seems to work better for me now. i can pickup and stay connected. so if anybody has the same feeling about wifi just give this a shot

Say mryounghc, with 74 posts that you have at this time, dont you think that you could have posted in another part of the forms & not in the Dev section. Try in the General or Q&A. I honestly dont see any development in this post.
Good luck with your question, but I honestly dont think that it belongs here.
It probably was an honest mistake. The Mods will prob move it soon.
oh yes it was a mistake. i didnt want to post it in development
I got my new updated firmware that came out with 4.3 flashed on my sprint htc one flashed to straight talk verizon s-off with moonshine. What are the improvements that I"am supposed to see ????
I have had problems with all 4.3 roms and I have tried them all, my call signal most times shows zero bars when its full signal, sometimes it will go full bars but always goes back to none fast and the phone is never moved.
I thought flashing the 4.3 firmware would fix this issue but it did not.
Another thing is I use it on a verizon samsung network extender at home which its the old model the first model they came out with that was call signal only no 3g data were the newer model has 3g, but I notice it does this when I"am not home sometimes also but I have not really watched it while running errands in a good while. When I"am on the network extender when I call out or on a call received my phone will show full bars the whole time.
I think its working ok, but the no bars on my phone is annoying I mean I might as well not even have bars on my phone at all if they are not going to be accurate.
Anyone have any ideas ?

Not convinced you actually know what you're talking about. For one, the firmware version is not 4.3-- that's the ROM software version, which is very distinct from the radio version that came with the 4.3 OTA. 4.3 changed how cell signal is displayed to match the available/in-use data connection as opposed to the 1xRTT voice/text connection. Besides that, if you're using the Sprint HTC One on Verizon, you're not going to get particularly good speeds even with 3G.
If you don't like the behavior, there's probably an XPOSED module or a downgrade to 4.1 to fix that.
I dont know where your getting your info, but there are firmware downloads for people that are rooted and do not receive htc / sprint ota updates for 4.3.
Check out the following and see for yourself...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46123838
Then see either full firmware or Full Firmware w/o hboot, boot, recovery (for s-off users (thx bigdaddy619 for testing!!!)
The phone is capable of running verizon 3g just as well as sprint 3g.
Unless you have a sprint htc one on straight talk verizon like I do then you have no idea of how verizon 3g data works on a sprint htc one and you are providing an uneducated guess, which straight talk verizon 3g data speeds are not any part of this posting.
Perhaps could it be you either work for verizon or sprint and just hope to deter people from flashing their sprint htc one or any other smartphone to straight talk verizon ????
If verizon was not so much of blood sucking company trying to squeeze every penny they can from their post paid subscribers and would compete with sprint and t mobile and even more on the prepaid side where sprint mvno's get lte and t mobile prepaids get lte and even at&t prepaids get lte even straight talk at&t gets lte, but verizon will not compete and allow lte, this will all be verizons undoing, because with sprints infusion of cash from softbank they will be building lte very quickly and when sprint merges with t mobile in the near future then verizon will be strong armed to either compete or be left behind and they will be put down like a dead horse and many people like myself will love to see the day that their greediness and cockiness comes back to haunt them and they will then pay for their arrogance...

You may want to read a little. 4.3 is not the firmware version, but the ROM version. The current firmware is a 1.x release, even still.

The entirety of your complaint is you complaining about "bars" and real signal strength/speeds. The actual data behind the bars are related to both, but you don't seem to have any idea what the bars are. They represent the strength of your data radio if you're connected to data, 1XRTT if you're on a voice call.

That's pretty ironic, all things considered. I've provided some of the information you were looking for (how and why signal bars may be showing as lower than before with the new firmware), but instead you've posted even more links proving you don't know what you're talking about. Neither the touch control or radio firmware version numbers are even near 4.3. Feel free to keep digging your own hole, though.

Your link proves that you don't know how to actually post links on this forum; besides that, you ignore the posts OMJ's made in the radio threads discussing what kinds of firmware are available-- and yes, those are hboot, radio, and touch. Nice try though.
As I explained jack*** its the new firmware that came with the 4.3, you work so hard to be as much of a jack*** as you possibly can be. The links show the downloads for the new firmware. Try not being such an a** you act like your such a know it all, well you can get off the high horse you think your riding and you know what you can do with your attitude, where you can put it...
You've given it a valiant effort Rirere, bravo to you sir.
Mods should probably scrap this now since the op has decided to instigate a flamewar instead of reading the threads he is linking to as "support" for his statements.

He very clearly explained himself in his first reply to you. It might have started out a bit condescending but he promptly explained why he felt that way.
Your replies to him hint that you don't understand what he has been explaining. Try asking people to elaborate instead of name calling, it helps makes xda a nicer place to visit.

I never said anywhere on here that I dont have good signal I said that my phone just shows that I don't but in all actuality I have full signal strength the phone just does not show it unless there is a call in progress.
Anyone please do not post on this unless you can do so without an attitude and if your post is not about this subject then you should not be posting on this.

OK, here is me still being on topic.
Read his first reply again. He is correct. The signal bars you see do not represent the same thing they used to. If you don't understand what he meant, ask for more information.
If you are on a custom rom, try posting in that rom's thread, especially if signal is not displaying at all.
Hell, just post in that thread anyway since you obviously don't believe the information you've been provided here!
Based on what info you've given, I don't know how much more you'll get from anyone though...

I know for a fact that the problem is software related I dont need anyone to tell me that.
His comments were off topic, he was trying to tell me that there is no firmware update that came out for 4.3 which is wrong. Excuse me for calling it 4.3 firmware when it has its own number I dont need anyone acting like that trying to tell me things that I know are true.
I did post on elegancia rom but they the main guys run the gsm version of htc one and do not do anything on the sprint side some other guys do so the sprint support is not as kept up as the gsm stuff is.
I was only trying to figure out what problems were fixed in the new firmware if there were and fixes in call signal accuracy or anything like that.
I just dont need anyone acting like they know everything trying to tell me I"am wrong.
Almost every 4.3 custom rom for the htc one says they recommend that you upgrade your firmware which that guy was trying to tell me there is no firmware upgrade for 4.3 which there is and I posted the links for it. I dont need anyone trying to tell me something that I"am wrong when I"am not and I proved it.

Its not for just gsm, its gsm and sprint, you didnt read what I posted clearly. I said the main guys use gsm they have sprint guys that help out on the sprint support so the sprint support is not as quick to update as they have to contact the sprint guys on the sprint issues. The rom is for gsm and sprint.
