3G 2G Reception - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've mentioned this in another post but I'm really struggling with this phone in "weak" signal areas. I have weak in quotes because I don't think it's that weak. Whilst everyone is using their phones around me I can't even get a signal. In weak areas where I usually get two bars on the iphone, this phone is showing no signal at all. Even if I get a signal the call quality on the other end is really bad and keeps cutting out.
Is anyone else having any issues? I'm specifically on about 3G and 2G.
Hopefully it's just my phone and an exchange will sort this out... I hope so because I love this phone but I can't cope with a phone that only works in high signal areas!
Thanks

Yeah i agree with this, phone service has been second to none, best i've had on a phone in recent memory

I am using a UK version in the USA and I am having exactly the same issues on 3G...
I posted a new thread on this about 20 minutes ago..
I hope someone has a suggestion, or I will have to send it back...
Too bad, I really like the phone.

Anyone in LA?

I've noticed DRAMATIC worsened signal and slower data speeds since HSPA+ got turned on. The whole reason I switched to T-mobile has turned against me, I now experience the connectivity issues from holding the phone that were previously non existent to me and I'm almost always on EDGE. If it does connect to HSPA its unusably slow whereas it used to be close to 2mb speeds prior to their "upgrade" anyone else experiencing this?

Yes I was near Beverly hills today off the 10 and I particularly had zero 3g, lost service completely, then it stayed on edge. This area never did this before. I bet they are doing network maintenance or something. Which area are you having problems?
Hopefully that's what the issue is, maintenance. I'm in downtown-hollywood most of the time and have always had great service, until the pay few days, always dropping calls, slow data, etc...

YES same exact thing with my buddy's t-mo N1 when we were downtown.
Compared each others device (got an att vers.) he didnt even have access to maps. But he's been crying about it for a while now, even in Santa Monica he would have some reception trouble and connecting to EDGE.
Last time he told me he found a work-around and got a widget turning the thing on and off to reset but I honestly don't believe that's a workaround..
maintenance, yeah better chance. found an article stating t-mo working on 4G, hopefully itll make you feel better. Try and keep your phone nice and clean b/c hopefully the N1 is rockin by then.
t-mo to 4g maintenance.
Other cities have reported similar issues while upgrading to hspa + so I'm confident it'll get better, i mean before this is was fantastic for meso I don't really see how it would get worse

Possible design flaw with HTC one bad reception

There seems to be a problem with the design where if you hold the phone in a particular position you lose reception. This article gives an idea. I too can replicate this signal loss

So clearly the article states that minimal reception loss occurred when testing it...

Yes, mine also drops from full bars to 1 bar when I hold it like that. No squeezing necessary. With a case the problem is still there but not quite as bad. Regardless, it's not enough to really have any noticeable impact
I've been told by multiple people that I've spoken to that I am "distant sounding" or "hard to hear" and I've been talking for years at home/work on my old phone without trouble. I naturally tried holding my phone with just the index finger and thumb on the edges and this has seemed to help, but I knew nothing about the ONE having problems, just a prior knowledge of antenna-gate.
Today we have this post and YouTube video and I can confirm what is being seen. More specifically though I go from -90 here inside a building with the two-finger grip and I go down to -105 when I palm it like in the video (no squeezing), as I normally hold it when talking on the phone.

Update, additional info:
I was able to try with two co-worker's phones, both on Sprint. One of them an older HTC model, another from Motorola.
Both exhibit noticable signal drop from "cupping" the bottom of the phone with a grip like this.
Yeah.. I returned my One because of reception issues, mainly 4G...Voice seemed fine but 4G dropping to 3G killed this wonderful phone for me.. When my area is better saturated in LTE I will be buying the One again unless another phone is set to come out around that time.. Damn I miss that I.R. Blaster..

I am also noticing a drop in 3G (5 bars down to 2) when I rest my palm against the bottom left corner of the phone. (San Diego area) I do, unfortunately, hold my phone this way, so I'll have to change that habit!
mine does it too. However, my hand is rarely at that corner so I can deal with it for now

This feature is a patent owned by Apple. For the HTC One to do this would be a blatant violation.
Your link came down to this; two guys on AT&T and one guy on Sprint. Sounds like a widespread problem, eh?

Extensive testing on my own showed that the signal bar up top is mostly meaningless. A single bar when gripping the phone resulted in no measurable loss in 3G speeds nor phone call quality, after repeating the test several times, compared to 5 bars. I was also able to make calls (and drop them) in the same areas as before, thus no perceived loss in range.
Zero issues cuffing it on all places

this thread is funny. seeing as how this is a developers site, and every is acting like users
i kid i kid.
but no, seriously... why is everyone looking at bars? forget the bars... stop being lazy and gave me your dbms!
for example, if you are at -45, and you 'apple-hold' it, and it goes to -120dbm, then we have issues. If it goes to -59dbm, then stop complaining, as many users have noted, bars mean nothing, not even in in-call quality terms. Those bars, to us... only indicate 1x signal. Remember we are using the HD Voice stuff now... which, unless I am wrong, operate on the 800mhz spectrum or something like that. not quite sure about that last part so don't quote me; im a little 'foggy atm' to be light. but certainly, bars mean nothing...
Slight update, using ##DEBUG#, in the 1x section, the signal goes from ~85dbm to ~113dm... so i guess that's bad, except for #1, it was already bad to begin with #2, big whoop its only 1X... anyway, ##INFO# isnt working so im looking for a dbm monitor as we speak. ill report back
Update:
Ok, the app is called Network Signal Info, by Kabits Software. It is really good, and free, and in the Play store. There is indeed a drop in my EHRPD connectoin (3g). It goes from ~83dbm to ~103dbm. Which is a drop of ~20dmbs. A little less drastic than the 1X drop of ~30dbm... But still may (keyword) be noticeable in certain situations, if you hold it a certain way. So, yea... It certainly happens, but I don't see it as an emergency problem, though it should be addressed by HTC at some point. This was done in my room, where reception is not the purdiest. Ill go outside.
Bars or no bars.. For me it was simple.. I didn't have 4G in areas with the One that I did with my other phone.. So it went back.

The two things the One needs

1) a microsd slot, because what happens if your phone craps? BOOM everything lost right there. Its happened to my sisters iphone. "Blahblahblah just back it up everyday blablahblah" be realistic bro. BUT!!!! The fact that its otg capable is a good thing because that means we can use usb sticks right? Idk, I'm coming from the samsung epic 4g
2) A CHIN!! I can't be the only one who thinks this phone should've been the return of the chin? It looks so sexy, like an upgraded hero, a chin would've made it even sexier imo!
What do y'all think about the chin?

Hey Brian, just as an FYI, I called Sprint yesterday to complain about the lack of anything in Central Florida, and two things came up. First, I received a $15.00 credit, and second, they're saying that (this is obvious) they're working on LTE in the area. Taken with a grain of salt, they said they're anticipating a release this summer for LTE in our area. Fingers crossed.

I'm just taking it in stride man..Im up and down about it and get close to leaving now and again but thinking about what the network is going to become keeps me from doing anything stupid...I don't even really care about LTE anymore,I just need a decent connection with decent speeds consistently(1.5-2.0Mb/sec)..Sad that in order to keep this HTC One from freaking out with all the driving I do I had to leave it set on CDMA Only so it doesn't try to connect to to weak 4G Signal areas(switching from 3G to 4G and back to 3G is so slow on this phone)
I had a chat with Sprint a few days/maybe a week ago..And they said the issues i'm having are because of the tower being worked on 4th street behind AOK Tires..Well that's BS because I drive by that tower every day heading out to the office and it has NOT been touched.Old legacy cabinets still in place/no workers/no panels and s4Gru also shows no work being done on any towers currently in Apopka.

I hear what you're saying. They told me there is work being done on the towers out off Sandpiper and that could be reason I'm having problems, but I'm all the way over by Home Depot and Lowe's. I can sit in my house on Lake Anne and get an LTE signal, but it bounces in and out. So, pointless pretty much. They had no response for when I'm at my office in South Orlando.

There is no offical LTE in Orlando and that they are doing full network upgrades... This requires them to screw with the towers for some time.
As for the comment about "I don't see any tower work"... Most of the tower work is done at the base. The only tower upgrade is when they install Network Vision (replace the copper up to the cell with fiber and replace the base modules). So even when they are doing a network vision, the only "visible" upgrade is when they are replacing the copper. http://newsroom.sprint.com/press_kits.cfm?presskit_id=19
Just be happy you can get LTE anywhere in an unofficial market... I am in Tallahassee and we still barely have 3g eventho we are on the LTE rollout list.

That's all fine and dandy that they're working on the upgrades now and that's why the speeds are slow. But for as long as I can remember, I've never had a good speed with Sprint. I'd hit a spot once in a while that would put me close or over 1mbps, but every other time, it's literally below .5mbps. It's ridiculous.

That is about standard for half max distance from the tower... The theoretical Rev. A high is based upon a high SNR (that was never really achievable at distance with copper).
really? before they started working on lte I always got fantastic speeds. When I got my OG Evo I pulled 2-3 mbps on 3g, and 5-20 on wimax. I really only get pissed when they are working on towers in my area, then my connection drops to .2-.5mbps, but I stay because after its done Im back to the good old 3g speeds, and 10-30 mbps on LTE. I love sprint, and most of all I love my unlimited data. I know youve heard it 1000 times, but hold on, its getting a lot better.

That is max burst (not sustainable). There is a lot to it, but one of the main things is degredation of the SNR (which is why they switched from copper to fiber). Also channel interference. Most users will experience between 500 - 1000 kbit sustained speeds. You are also limited by the reverse link when submitted requests.
All I got to say is if the reason my speeds are so bad is because they are working on towers in my area. Then it's been one hell of a process upgrading 1 single tower for over 3 years.

[Q] iPhone 5 SIM in HTC One Dev Edition

Hi, sorry if this has been covered but I haven't found much info.
I got the One after owning the AT&T iPhone 5 and I just used the same SIM (used a microSIM adapter tray). So far all is well and even though the signal strength on the One has been similar, I signal at my desk at work is terrible and I have issues sending and receiving calls. I sit near a window but if I move inward about 20 feet, the signal gets better.
Would going to AT&T and getting a new SIM fix that? Should I use Tweakker and mess with APN settings?
Thanks!

I went to AT&T and got a new SIM but it didn't seem to make a huge difference. I remove the phone case ($9 Diztronic semi rubber slim case) and my signal db level increases by 4-5. Put the case back on and the signal gets worse.
Can anyone recommend a slim case that won't hamper my signal?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
While the case did affect the signal strength, the phone still can't reliably send or receive calls, even without a case, while I'm at my desk. Unless rooting and putting the stick AT&T ROM will help, I'll have to stick with the iPhone 5.

Reception?

So, one thing that grabbed my interest was the mention of dual antennas, etc for the Moto X. I'm a Verizon customer, and reception in my area is spotty, at best...so I'd put reception as the most important spec I can look for in a phone...but reviewers NEVER speak to reception in their reviews...which I find frustrating.
Has anyone heard anything, or experienced anything, as far as that goes? I have a GS3 right now...and on TW it's ok...but I'd like something more...
Anyway,
Thanks!
damon
Not sure about dual antennas but Motorola has always had better radios than Samsung. One reason I cant wait to get back into a MOTO device.
I always found HTC radios and GPS to be very strong. I wonder how Motorola compares.

I have an HTC ONE S I bought used a few months ago. Last weekend I got the first real test of it's reception when on vacation up North. My girlfriend's Iphone4s and my sisters GS3 are all on the same HSPA network (Telus/Bell). Inside the cottage the Galaxy S3 had absolutely no reception at all at any time. The One S and IP4S were both about equal having times of no service and times of 1-2 bars depending on where we sat the phone. They both went from 3g to H+ back and forth and could both just barely load webpages and facebook and send/receive text messages.
Previously I've had the Desire HD and Nexus One both of which I didn't have a problem with reception. I also tried a Desire Z but sold it, it had horrible reception and I didn't like the keyboard/feel of it.
I've yet to have a Motorola smartphone but hope that will change eventually.
Poor Reception
I have a Moto X on Verizon & also one on AT&T. I have found that both of them do not get very good reception. I live in a high signal area for both Carriers. When I talk on the X people always say they can't hear me good & that I am breaking up. I have not had this problem with other phones in my home area. I love the phone but can not keep it because the reception is sub-par. Motorola phones use to always have good reception but since Google bought the handset division I can only assume they changed something?

I live in North NJ and previously had a VZW Galaxy Nexus that would regularly cut out during the same stretch of my daily commute to/from work. It would go to 0 bars of 4G/3G and maybe pickup a little 1X. On my VZW Moto X, I now see 2 bars of 4G over that same stretch. So far, I've noticed better reception.
I can't comment on the GPS just yet as I haven't really user that.
I have had this same problem on att it's something with the mic on the phone because it would work fine on bluetooth and with a headset. I have gotten a replacement phone and have not had the problem since but am watching it closely.
