[Q] Questions about radio

I'm using an unlocked HTC Incredible S from Virgin on the TELUS network.
I just wanted to confirm some things. Texts have been delayed coming to my phone anywhere from 15mins - 2hrs. I called the service rep and he said it takes up to two hours for a messaged to be delivered when coming from a different provider other than Telus, but it shouldn't happen all the time.....i didn't bother speaking to him any longer cause it didn't really make too much sense as i was receiving texts immediately before i was having this issue.
i just wanted to know if anyone else has the same issue with using the unlocked IncS on TELUS.
Also, if you're not what radio did you flash? Lastly, can you flash a radio from the TELUS Desire HD forum?
Thanks for reading

Many people seem to have the same problem.
Seems like a gingerbread issue. I've tried telco ruu specific to my carrier which helped abit but it still happens.
It's so annoying i wish someone would fix it already.

I had this issue after upgrading to Gingerbread, and also several people had said they'd tried to ring me but couldn't get through. My phone never displayed any missed calls.
I was on "3805.04.03.22", I upgraded to "3805.04.03.27" the other day and it seems to have been fine since.

Aren't radios specific to regions in the world?
Where abouts are you?

UK. I don't believe the radio's are specific to a certain part of the world.
Looking at the radio thread, the .22 radio only seems to have been used in one update, whereas the .27 one seems to have been used in lots, which would seem to suggest it's maybe a more stable version to me.
Try it and see, it certainly seems to have been fine for the last couple of days for me.

[Q] Bit of a wierd one for you all regaring NFC

Hi All,
My wife recieved her HTC One this morning from EE. Because shes happy with her iPhone 5 she gave it to me. So i have 2! lol
Now ive been comparing these devices to decide on which one ill keep. Decided to keep my own one, because its factory unlocked and a better build quality, (The EE one isnt bad, just slightly more gappy than mine) however, i have a question regarding NFC.
When both enabled, they do work on both devices, however the NFC symbol only appears on the EE device, is there a reason for this? Just confused to as why my Sim free version dont display this.
Can anyone answer this? Not a problem to me just baffled!
Thanks in advance.

The reason is that HTC disabled this icon following the first firmware upgrade. When the EE device gets updated... it will disappear. Even sooner if you flash a custom ROM.

Got ya, thanks dude for the Quick reply. Its a shame, it could be quite a useful icon to have. Especially if you forget the NFC is on. . .

Yeah I have seen thisvery thing between different stock builds of various ROMs.
What it is, is a line in build.prop that determins whether the icon is shown or not. Certain people (myself included) think that there is no need to show it. You do not need reminding it's on as it uses such little power. Set it and forget it.
ro.nfc.icon.enable=false

Awesome. I thought it used up a little bit of power, but now i know. I shall just leave on. . . Thanks guys!

Sprint htc one what are the real benefits of the 4.3 firmware ????

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.

Excuse me the firmware is not called 4.3 its just with the 4.3 update, if would have read that you would have realized that and not tried to be a know it all thinking you know everything which you clearly do not.

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.

I checked and Gomdolight is for Korean version (f340 I think), are you sure you can?
(in the thread of Gomdolight, 1 guy was successfully installed, but he said nothing different, hhope he did not mean about wifi)
Could you report your try here?
Thanks in advance

Yes, I did as well and came to the same conclusion as the Dev did regarding the post stating no real changes noticeable. I plan to pm that member later on to see if he has any more feedback/advice before I commit. From what I gather the more modded features involve Korean based apps and such so for a D950 user not to notice is not surprise. I should know more tomorrow evening weather or not it is effective or not. Would do it sooner but I need to stay connected today so..... I'll keep you posted.

For me, the wifi strength is important. The rom itself does not matter.
Anyway, waiting for your post
==== edit =====
I had some time to check Gomdolight. Actually it is not a ROM, but a Modifier (remove system apps)
I don't think they change something for wifi-driver, which I believe is the problem for the weak wifi.
but just let me know how it is improved with your Gflex
thanks

Hey,my apologies to all who were waiting on the results of my attempted flash of the Gomdolite firmware mod. I'm sorry to report that although it installed successfully( albiet in a limited capacity due to variant and build discrepancies), it did not resolve my wifi woes.I will continue running Gomdolite despite that fact. Off topic and my apologies in advance, but it has improved my devices overall speed and fluidity. Hope someone has a solution soon...Btw, since my D950 doesn't have to function as my primary phone as of yesterday, (returned to Samsung, Note4) I am willing to Guinea pig for the common good of finding a resolution to our issues.Let me know if you got anything to test.

[Q] Can I fix issues by using Custom Roms?

Well i have wifi problems like; droping from my router and bad connectivity
And battery drains fast (even in 4.3)
Can I fix these by using custom roms or is there different any solutions?
If these problems are not normal i will going to send my device to service

No body can tell. maybe someone had improvements flashing Custom Roms but is not tha same for everybody. You have to try them by your self and see if you get rid of issues, improvements exc.. Also the Roms are very different so you have to see if it suite your needs.

No, you didn't get the point... My point is:
I have bugs which nearly happens to everyone, so I think these bugs that I telled can be Sony's bugs. And i think I can remove those bugs by using another kernel or custom rom.

They do not happen to everyone.
Why don't you just try it and see... you can answer your own question by trying it...

Revert to stock with no apps and no extras installed, make sure you're on the proper FTF / Rom for your region, rooted or not.
Leave it with the bare minimum installed, test it to see how things go, it's impossible to say exactly what's going on with your phone as there are a lot of variables to take into account.
Here's some:
Your apps, your mods, your router, the people using the router, your ISP, your phone itself, your sim card, your environment, distance of router. cables.
Unless you can eliminate all of these things besides the phone itself you'll never know for sure exactly whats causing the issue.
Return to stock 4.4.2 v757 and leave it with nothing on there, not even your google account, turn off your router, check all cabling, turn it back on from the wall socket all the way back to the unit, make sure nothing else is connected, then try to use your wifi, test it with another mobile device too.
If you still have problems then it's more than likely your phone, in which case you should get a new one.
Hope this helps.

No m8 that's nonsense, 757 is the best version by far, ask any dev and they'll tell you the same, 136 was a decent version but 757 at least for me and many others which i've been told too.
Wifi problems could be down to so many factors m8 which is why you need to get a bit anal with things to find the culprit.
If sending it back is a possibility without too much fuss then don't suffer for a problem that isn't your fault, just get it swapped.
Click thanks by the way dude

761 is region specific afaik, so no need unless your region requires it, i think it's from china or somewhere. Majority of regions are still on 757
