Poor Data Service

Anyone experienced their revolution hanging for 20-30 seconds before going to a web page or performing a Google search? Seems my phone does it constantly and a friends does as well. He's on the stock release and I'm rooted with decrap.

I've noticed that my data stream is a little unstable being in a 4G area. I stream lots of music in the car and 4G doesn't seem to nearly as stable as 3G...with similar signal strength...especially if it auto-switches from 4 to 3, then back. I've put it in 3G only mode and it's more stable.

Randomly notice this as well. There have been 4g issues for a while now, but my fascinate seems to load pages faster when both are on wifi.

Whoops, forgot to mention that I am in a 3g only area. I have a tbolt and revolution, constantly going to the tbolt for data. Kinda disappointing.

Have this issue as well... But we are having network issues in our area which makes data unusable for everyone.

i've got this issue and i live in a 4g dense neighborhood in los angeles. had it since day 1. very disappointing.

Any fix for this? I have the same issues in the riverside ca area. Data throughput seems to be fine netflix and hbogo stream perfectly.

My guess is that a radio fix will have to come from LG to help 'stabilize' the data connections for 3G, 4G and auto-switching between them. Once in 4G (or 3G), data integrity is good for me.

Decrap has a known 3G slowness issue, if you go to the last 2 or so pages of the thread in development you'll see some chatter about it
thecubed is releasing an update early next week
If it's really bad, I'd suggest switching to the stock rom for a bit till Decrap 1.2 comes out

I'm rooted with stock ROM and having the issue. Tried my SIM in two other revos with the same issue.

The issue is indeed confirmed, as I have the same (infuriating) problem on my unit also.
Hopefully by the end of next week I should have a fix. I believe it lies in the way that LG bonds the 3g and 4g interfaces together to provide a single "cellular data" interface to Android.
However, I could be wrong, but either way I'll be on to something

Woot... You do some damn good work.

awesome cubed U rock. This is for the wifes phone so I'm going to wait until there is a fix before I root it.

Has anyone else been having problems switching from 3g to 4g? Mine gets stuck on 3g sometimes and I have to do the airplane mode trick to get it to do anything. I can't even send text messages. I live in Hollywood so I don't know what the problem is..

Same here.. I am in NE Ohio, and traded from a Thunderbolt where LTE was more constant, but even when switching out from WiFi to 4G/3G there is some lag time. The Thunderbolt Radio had to be flashed separately but was tons better.

Verizon Outage saga continues

I know that Verizon said they had fixed the outage of earlier this week, but I've been down since Wednesday morning and am still down. Basically I have a 1X phone that looks exactly like a Droid Bionic. FYI, I'm in downtown Denver. I'd like to see how much Verizon is really lying about this in an effort to not lose Holiday sales. Is this outage still widespread or is it only in Denver now?

I'm in downtown Denver as well. I had to reboot my phone yesterday morning to get 4G back. Been fine since yesterday (Dec 8th) morning.

Needed full factory reset, but that did the trick

i'm down in the springs and i've been having random texting issues here and there...i was unaware that verizon was having so many issues and just kept messing with battery pulls and switching network modes (3g/4g, 3g only, etc)
i'm still unrooted.

My phone is telling me 4g is on but all of my apps are telling me I have no network connection. I think it's because I'm on 8.894 though.

Dropping to 3g

I switched back to this phone after having the galaxy 4 because this is a better phone for the most part.
That being said..this phone does poorly hanging on to LTE with Sprint. In areas that have steady 4g coverage that my iPhone 5 and s4 would display 4g, the One often inexplicably drops to 3g, requiring a switch to airplane mode and back again.
I actually used the airplane mode to force 4g like 5 times today.
I know somebody else has to see this issue

I have a thread where I'm working on trying to tweak some epst settings to fix some of these issues. Haven't gotten to the LTE stuff really yet.
D3rped out Beastmode! HTC ONE!

Funny thing is I was thinking of posting this in your thread, but I didnt want to derail it.
I think part of the problem stems from the One not scanning for lte as often as the other phones. I drop data completely quite often and it takes a while to pop back up. And when it does, it's 3g, not 4

It wouldn't fix it but if it's just a configuration issue. Example if it's designed to drop a signal sooner than say the S4 then tweaking some settings COULD fix it. That's all I'm looking to do. Try to fine tune some settings specifically for sprint and this phone.
Edit: I also know that sometimes that can do more harm than good (like maintaining too weak of a signal and have no data connection to speak of) but. Doesn't hurt to try!

Thought I was done with the airplane mode dance as well, coming from the EVO LTE. Ah well.
Oddly, I've had the phone stay on LTE far more often using AOSP, same for my old EVO LTE, which it's usually the opposite no?

Airplane toggle is kind of pointless. The phone grabs LTE Just fine.. It just won't hold it. Especially when you start something that uses data. I've been in areas where I know the signal drops with this phone with it sitting in the dock. But as soon as you run a speed test or download an app it drops to 3G..In all honesty the only way to keep this stupid thing stable is to disable LTE completely and run with crap 3G until your area is heavily saturated with LTE because when your in the middle of doing something data centric and it switched to 3G you have to pretty much start all over or re open the app. Never had to do this on my Note 2.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

This worries me. I'm thinking of selling the note 2 and picking this phone up. The note 2 has great reception.

I have experienced this too but it happens to me when I am driving home from work which is a 2 hour drive the job site I am at has lte and it holds a signal all day. On the way home I will lose data in certain locations every day the exact same ones cause obviously sprints lte is still being worked on but I think it maybe be because they are upgrading towers cause in the past month I get lte in more and more places driving on I94 from Detroit to Kalamazoo and also the job site has lte everywhere and before it was spotty

This happens to me and my 1st HTC One and my current HTC One and my co workers HTC One no matter if we're standing still or driving..In areas I know for a fact are not being currently worked on..It only happens on the outskirts of an LTE Signal.But like i said earlier,these are places my Note 2 has never ever dropped a signal..I've debated so many times going back to my Note 2 but I just can't do it.469 DPI and a screen I can see in daylight has spoiled me rotten...Only logical thing to do is go to AT&T and buy the HTC One there but that would do a number on my wallet so i'll stick around with Sprint until winter and see what they can do.

Keep in mind the signal strength you see is NOT 4G even if you're getting 4G.
There are tools to monitor 4G Strength (search google play).
This phone is horrible with weak 4G around. Bounces in and out and it's very slow at doing that.

As I drive through known 4g coverage areas my note 2 grabs 4g with no issue. My HTC one woould stay in 3g. Frustrating knowing I'm giving my Note 2 to my nephew. Good thing 4g is only in small spots around Southern CT.

Im aware of what the signal bars represent on this phone.. I go into field test to look at dbm's

I cannot imagine how awesome this phone would be with strong 4g. I use verizon razr hd for my work line and 95% of the time it has a 4g signal, and thats the phone i always reach for when on the road although i love my one so much more...seems sprints roll out is not as fast as I anticipated

I live on the border of an official 4g area (Los Angeles) and I seem to go back and forth from LTE and 3g at home all day long. But, when you do get LTE, it is amazing. Fastest LTE speeds I've ever seen on any carrier. I easily get 25/10 and a great signal in LTE zones.

I have often wondered how my phone could bounce around from 4g to 3g then sometimes to no.data connection all while sitting in the same spot. Is that a network or a device issue? If it's a phone issue do I have a right to get a different one,even though I have had this for over a month

Definitely a network issue..Don't waste your time getting a replacement because it will be the same...Weather and humidity come in to play here as well

This is the story of my life since I got the One. People keep telling me that the S4 has the same issues and the problem is Sprint, but of the 3 people I know with an S4 none of them have this problem where I live. Once they are in an area with 4G, their phone stays on 4G. With the HTC One it takes forever to pick up 4G and once it decides to drop 4G it will take forever to pick it back up unless you toggle airplane mode.
The phone is damn near unusable in Johnson City TN because the 3G is way over capacity on at least half the towers in the area, and if the phone can't hold on to the 4G signals that I know are there then it's basically a paperweight. I really hope there is an update soon.

My HTC One keeps roaming!

It started last night, the phone keeps roaming every minute or so, then goes back to normal. The signal is all over the place too, it goes from full bars to just one. My girlfriend's iPhone 5 is working fine. Is anyone else having the same problem
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

Nope, no issue here. You can set it to "home only" in mobile data> roaming so it doesnt jump back and forth.

I called sprint, the first time they said there were no outages, but a couple hours ago, my gf's iphone started saying extended, so I called back, they said the tower that's near my house is down (hopefully because it's getting LTE!!! :fingers-crossed: )
But I have to keep roaming on, otherwise I can't send or receive texts and calls, plus they said they won't charge me for roaming

Just watch your mobile data usage while you're on extended coverage! I believe it's 300MB until they call you up.

If it's due to a tower outage, Sprint is generally more generous with the roaming usage limitations. They actually told me they would reimburse me for any minutes I went over due to not having unlimited mobile to mobile while roaming.
The tower by my house was down for over a week, and now it's finally back but with much poorer signal. It went down the same day it was slated for a 4G upgrade, so I guess the contractor bungled something.

That's new info to me; certainly something to keep in mind. Service has generally been pretty good where I live, and the last time we had an outage, there weren't any cell towers functioning on any carrier in the area, so it was pretty moot.

Yea they are rolling out Network Vision and 4G here pretty fast so your going to see issues in SD. I am also in SD and have towers on both sides of me getting upgraded and see issues every other week or so.

It started working again yesterday, and we got LTE today! I guess they were upgrading it

I'm sure you don't mind quite as much now. My first LTE experience was at a corporate picnic near my house, and I have rarely been quite as confused as I was to see that little "4G" icon winking at me from the status bar.

I'm pretty sure it is a Phoenix thing. I have the same problem. My girlfriend has an iPhone, never has the connection problems I have. The research I've done seems to point to the fact that we have LTE phones in a non-LTE market; the phone struggles with this. When I was in Nashville the phone blew my mind. LTE, everything was blazing fast, no problems with call quality/drops.

[Q] 4g lte suddenly not working

So I'm lucky enough to live near a tower alongside a lesser traveled interstate. Past 6 months I've been with Sprint I've had excellent service. 4g LTE nearly all the time unless I'm in my basement. I actually get over 30 Mbps at my house on Sprint 4g. So what the heck would make it suddenly stop? It goes to 4g then right when I try to do something it freezes basically, the 4g spinning icon stops, and does nothing, bars drop to zero no service and then 3g kicks in. Could Sprint be throttling me? I have used a lot of data in the passed 6 months. As in average 30 gb a month.. I've updated my profile and prl still nothing.

Is your phone rooted or modified in any way? If not, dial *#*#4636#*#* choose phone info, scroll down and choose LTE only

Yeah I've been rooted since I've had this phone past 6 months. I'm pretty sure my 4g radio has an issue because it'll get signal for 10 seconds and just drops to zero. Unless Sprint is kicking me off 4g website I am quite the data hog.

update PRL from system options if you are on stock rom.
Fair usage policy is 100GB per month(for most providers), if you didn't consume it there is no problem with data hogging.

Thanks for the help but it turned out to be a sim card issue. I ordered a new one for the M8 the Sprint said it wouldn't work so that sim locked it and when I put the old sim back in and voila! 4g again! So if anyone ever runs into this try a different nano sim card. Even if Sowing says it won't work take it out put the other back in.
