How is the htc one for signal issues? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on the HTC one s at the moment and if I'm in a call and my coverage drops below two bars the phone call is dropped. Sent the phone to HTC numerous times with no good outcome. So I'm just wandering if any one is having g signal issues with the HTC one

I'm having none personally I get better signal than my n4 and iPhone 5

c6603 on AT&T - Every call drops after 1 minute

Hi, Everyone.
I am having the strangest problem using my XZ 6603 on AT&T.
Every call I make works for for approximately 1 minute and the the phone hangs up the call as if I pressed the end button. This seems to happen whether I use bluetooth, speaker phone, or the handset ear piece. At first I thought it was random, but then I realized that it simply happens after one minute. It isn't a signal issue or a typical drop call problem.
This makes the phone pretty much unusable.
Please tell me that I am not the only one to have this problem and *please, please, please* tell me that is a software issue that can be resolved. I have everything else working perfectly and I am just shocked that this issue has popped up.
Thanks for any help!

does your c6603 get 3G on ATT?
my c6603 only gets edge, weird..
Figured it out. The cc6603 only gets one of the 3g bands for at&t.
Whenever you hit a dead spot for that band it drops the call.
I was getting 3g though.

I think it depends on the location probably.. I am in Pullman,WA, very poor signal here,
since C6603 uses 850Mhz on ATT, it drops signal pretty much often
I just go buy another C6602, so HSDPA on ATT!
Yeah, AT&T has sold 850 service where I live, so I've had no issues. However, if AT&T primarily has UMTS1900 service, you're likely hosed with a 6603.
Would you guys/gals mind looking at my thread please? Thanks.

LTE RSRP (dBm) signal comparison

I think a lot of us would like to see is the RSRP (dBm) values of the HTC One sitting next to the EVO and possibly another device like the GS3 or Note 2.
Can someone who has the HTC One in a 4G LTE market find another LTE phone and compare them side by side?
Pretty Please!
Thanks in advance!
Tell me where to get the dBm values and I can do it for you.

On HTC phones you can go to "About Phone" and then "Network" or the "Sensorly" app will show you under "Details" if you have that app downloaded
Do you have an EVO or other phone activated that you can show the screens side by side?

Here are some screenshots of where to find it.

i use signalcheck found in the play store.
I use an app called Open Signal for testing signal strength, it's free and I think ad-free... as well as useful.
I would test the LTE, but there is no LTE where I live.
Somewhat related, I started a thread moments ago about signal issue I am having on my ONE unfortunately...

Issues with 3G or voice calls?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE ....
Here are my stats, though I don't know how relevant they are. No matter what, I cannot get them to connect to the same tower. The comparison is between the One and an S3, The S3 runs CM 10.1. The screenshots were taken in the same place, not side by side, but in the exact same location one after the other.
Check the filenames to compare.

Voice for sure, haven't tested any 3G yet.... on WIFi at the house.
heres in my house where its spotty, my daughters ip5 is anywhere between -112-117 in the house and stays on lte. neither the one, lte or my wifes gs3 can hold the lte connection like the ip5 can in this house.
LTE no connection and this was after a airplane mode shuffle
and the One
Just went into a sprint store yesterday and compared the One with my EVO ....I am VERY VERY Disappointed!
The sprint store is right on the edge of a 4G tower...perfect for testing the RF signal. When I walked in the One was connected to 4G without issue, EVO as well. Tried going to the network screen on the one but for some reason it was greyed out and could not access. So I downloaded sensorly so I could see the RSRP values.
Just holding the 2 phones together for a picture and the HTC one drops LTE.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE ....
Is this something that can be fixed or do we have to rely on Sprint and HTC to adjust something?.. I'm dropping from 4G to 3G all the time in places my other LTE phones hold.
Is this a software issue or Hardware?

I just drove one way down a road(4 miles) that has 4G with my phone in the dock and sensory and Google music running. Held 4G the whole way..
Just had to drive down the same road back to the house with the phone on my center console and it was holding 4G again until I touched the phone. When I let it go it connects to 4G again after a minute or so.. Then when I touch it it loses 4G again.. WTF is going on here?
When I say "touch" it, I mean just picking it up in hand. Did this 4 times... This does not happen in areas where it's a strong LTE signal. Only in the outer areas of the LTE signal. But like mentioned before, my other devices hold it fine.

I work in a basement office (IT), and i'm close enough to a tower that my GS3 would still be able to hold on to a weak LTE signal at times (mostly 3G, but sitting on my desk, I could usually cycle airplane mode and get it to hold LTE). It pulled about 2 meg down on LTE the couple times I tested it. I've seen my One grab LTE a couple times, but as soon as it tried to move any data, it would drop back to 3G.
Other than that, both seem to perform pretty much the same to me, but haven't had enough time to test them side by side. I always had to cycle airplane mode to get the GS3 to look for LTE again after dropping to 3G (without having to wait 10 minutes), but with the One, it seems like all you have to do is toggle Mobile Data off and back on and it'll grab LTE. Definite plus there.

Yep, same thing here...I pick up the phone, press the power button to wake, and within seconds data either switches to 3G and/or drops altogether, only to come back after short period. When it comes back it sometimes stays good and sometimes continues to give me issues. I'm thinking software too...but I'm definitely not in a fringe area, at least according to Sprint's coverage map. I'm not going to wait this out and be frustrated...tomorrow morning I'm going to an AT&T store and check out their demo. If it holds a data connection I'm returning the Sprint phone and switching to AT&T. Thankfully, I was at the end of my Verizon contract and within the 14 day remorse period with Sprint.
Oh, and I might add, it did this while I was in the Sprint store and I dismissed it as being indoors or something that would settle. I guess I was so smitten with this sexy ass phone that I too quickly dismissed the issue.

[Q] Poor reception on moto x?

After 9 painful months of using an HTC 8X windows phone (the pain was in the OS, not the phone) I was ready to get a new android phone. Finally there were new releases and picked up a moto x. While I like the phone and availability of apps I was missing, the signal quality is no where near that of the HTC 8X. This is both in phone call quality and 4G data reception.
So, has anyone else noticed this, or experiencing similar symptoms?

My reception has been better on this phone than all of my previous ones. That includes literally every flagship that Sprint and AT&T have had since the HTC Hero. Motorola is famous for their radio quality. Not sure what's going on in your case but I know the vast majority of Moto X owners are quite pleased with it in this regard.

I have a Verizon Moto X and while in use, the reception is fine, I'm wondering how they decide to show their bars. I've NEVER seen this thing have a full 5 bars. I can be 3 feet from my network extender, and its 2 bars. It works fine, voice is clear, LTE with 3-4 bars is in the 30mbit range, but it has never hit 5 bars.

Anyone in Las Vegas with the same issues???

Hi All,
Well I recently purchased the HTC One and have been playing around with it for weeks now. I had the HTC EVO 4G LTE before. Well I am very disappointed. I know Sprint is a terrible network but it just doesn't make sense so I wanted to see if anyone else in my area or just in general is having the same terrible reception. I live up in the Northwest of Vegas and with my EVO I had perfect 4G reception with around 12-20Mb a sec. Now, the HTC One in the same area barely gets one bar. When I travel around town it usually is only on 3G and hardly ever on 4G. I have updated the PRL and Profile several times through the days and still nothing.
I am currently running the Viper One ROM and another issue that drives me crazy is when I use the built in hotspot (part of the ViperOne ROM), I can't get any internet when I am on 4G, I have to go in and set the network to only CDMA to actually have it work which then is slow as hell.
I really like this phone but this has gotten to the point where I want to throw it against the wall. I know they both have different radios and it seems the radio in the One can barely penetrate walls as well. Once I enter a store, my reception drops or I get no data at all.
I have tried a bunch of ROMs and have also reset the phone a million times, it is now unlocked and rooted.
Any advice or thoughts would be great.
Thanks!

With the evo the reception that the status bar displayed was the voice signal and the HTC one with the 4.3 upgrade they switched it to data as far as I know so that would explain the drastic differences in reception. As far as LTE connecting automaticly my phone seems to pick it up everywhere where my friend with his gs4 picks it up

I just upgraded the firmware and the bars display correctly. I just installed the hotspot hack and now my bars only display around 1 bar at my house. Strange.
I also just tested the hotspot on speedtest.net and only get around 2Mb on 4G. Before I installed it I had the Wifi Tether app by Treve and I was getting 6Mb. The only problem is I had to use it as an Ad-Hoc which my tablet and PS3 does not connect to.

[Q] Htc One M8 complete signal loss

Please help! I bought a Tmobile Htc One M8 and I was using it with a Simple Mobile sim. Everything worked fine for a week. Two days ago I was driving and went into a large "dead zone" with zero reception. After I came out signal never came back. I have tried everything from factory reset,new sim card,changing apns,network operator option,etc. I can not get a single signal bar. Can someone help me?
