Not sure if this should go here or not.. But I've been watching the One since it was announced.
And I'm currently on the old $30/month plan from Tmo with an HTC Amaze..
Unfortunately I to get the one from Tmo the require $379 down which is a lot of money at once and will also up my bill to $70
But I also have the option to get one someones Sprint plan and get a One for $99...
But just looking thought the forum, its looking like the GSM One is getting better Dev support
Along with Google ports.
An another possible problem that comes to mind... is CDMA..
I was on sprint awhile ago and Had a HTC Hero and the battery drain was HORRIBLE compared to the my Magic. Not sure if that is still an issue with the new LTE stuff...
But yeah, my real question is, should I go for the Sprint One or hold out a bit and get the Tmo One?

To my knowledge, you're not going to have a significant battery difference between CDMA and GSM. Updates will almost always be slower for us in the Sprint world because GSM variants tend to be more common worldwide, but the devs here work plenty hard. I'd check the forum though yourself to see if there're any ROMs you actually like the look of instead of taking someone else's word on how "good" dev is.
Price-wise, you might be better off going prepaid on T-Mobile, but then you'd need an unlocked GSM One, and that's dicey stuff.
Tmo is the way to go imho. I thought about getting the one when I got my nexus....it's about the only phone I'd consider other than my nexus. I chose the nexus because of the bang for your buck factor and dev support. I'm happy with my choice but I still love the one! Really a beautiful phone, with the guts to match....good luck

Yeah, go Tmo. Once you go CDMA, you shall never escape...
T mobile if you can afford it.
You can fully convert it to GPe or dev unlocked edition. It gets more support.
I read somewhere that only Sprint has working Google Wallet, though.
Coverage wise, it depends. Tmo is fantastic here (at least, the HSPA was), but Sprint doesn't even cover some of the places it says has "Good/better 3g".
As someone above said, you should check out the prepaid plans. It might be cheaper/better in the long run if you buy unlocked and just put in a prepaid card. Even if you will go over the data/minutes, the overages may still be cheaper than a contract.

Yep. I think we'd all have T-Mobile over Sprint if we had our choice. But we all have reasons... It's cheaper to stay on Sprint, etc...

Personally I'm staying on Sprint because they are making moves to make a triband network, as opposed to tmo which is a single band network. But at the moment Sprint is just terrible.

Tmo base everything off of your credit check when they run it. For example, my cousin was told he he had to put down $500 and I was told $100.
However I chooses to come back to Sprint because I think they have good things coming ahead and plus Tmo service here where I live is little to nonexistent

I'm on the $30 plan right now. But to finance a phone for me its 3xx down and sixty something a month.
And those 100 minutes burn up FAST.
In the long run sprint is actually going to be cheaper because I'm getting on an existing plan for 20-30 a month for unlimited everything.
But I'm still not sure I want to go CDMA...
I live in Columbus so coverage for both sprint and tmo is great..

So, I recently got the Moto X Dev Edition and went to the at&t store to get myself a nano sim card as the phone did not come with one. Previously I was on the HTC One Developer edition.
Anyways...last weekend, I started getting text messages from at&t saying, I have an LTE device and should call at&t to get myself an LTE Data Plan. I was like...wth..., so I called and they said that I was on the 3gb - $30/month 4g plan and they had the same plan, for the same price but it was called an LTE plan, just terminology I guess, so they activated that but I am still getting 4g speeds meaning about 5mb download. I am in Cleveland, Ohio area and had never experienced anything like this.
Is there any setting on the phone that I am not aware of causing this? I can't find any setting or option to fix this issue.
I'd appreciate any help...
Thanks
Anyone???

I had the same issue in the at&t store when I first took the phone in to get my nano Sim card. The manager was like, system doesn't recognize your device, there is nothing we can do. I was like, are you freaking kidding me? Then they sorted it out but it was a big hassle. What happened to the good old days, you buy an email unlocked device, pop your Sim card in and good to go...

Same problem with me except by the time someone in customer support finally figured out what was going on they had already wasted three hours and a week of my phone not working properly. I'm still not sure my account is properly fixed and won't really know for a few more days when I can see the bill.
Bottom line people, do not give them a new IMEI number. They need to keep the old number otherwise their system will kick you off LTE and it will be a ***** to sort things out.

So, are you back on LTE with your Developer Edition? If so, how did they figure it out? I had to give my IMEI number to them because they were issuing me a new NANO Sim card, so they needed all that info.

Yes, back on LTE after a insane amount of time on the phone talking to people that act like they have a clue but in the end just messed things up even more. To answer your questions, because the dev edition isn't a "AT&T" phone, their system doesn't know what to do with your phone.
You can either give them a IMEI of a LTE compatible phone that is in their system (aka a AT&T branded phone) or they will try to switch you to some non-LTE plan (without your knowledge). If you have your older IMEI number then give that to them instead.
Here is what they did with me. Feel my pain. This was a couple of weeks ago. I went into a AT&T store and got a nano-sim card. They handed me one without problems. Mistake one. I should have just waited and had the store do the entire process but I had done the similar thing
with T-mobile the day before (regular sim to micro sim) and it was painless so I figured AT&T surely would go smoothly.
I got the Dev Edition on Monday. I called AT&T and gave rep my new IMEI and ICCD sim card serial. Everything was switched over and appeared to work. On Wed I got a e-mail and text saying the same thing in the OP. Okay that's odd cause I am on a LTE unlimited grandfathered.
I called and got a great rep (so I thought). She said that my plan was set to non-LTE unlimited and was changed on the 8th. I explained everything and she supposedly switched it back. Okay… I got off the phone and was heading home for lunch. I rebooted the phone so it could
re-register on the network. NO DATA! I called back when I got home (on lunch break) and was on the phone for the next hour and a half with the third rep. The lady I was speaking with earlier apparently deleted my data plan and did not save the changes when she said I was back
to my old LTE plan. At this point I am pissed. My grandfathered unlimited data was gone. He also couldn't add the grandfathered plan back in because it was a legacy plan. He would have to add me to a current plan and open a trouble ticket to get me back on what I was supposed to have.
He tried to add me back in but the IMEI that they had in the system for me wasn't allowing him to add me to a LTE plan. I dug around (thank goodness for Exchange) and found my old SGS3 IMEI and gave that to him. That worked, BUT, it required a voice plan change also. Okay.. two trouble tickets to open.
He put me on 550 rollover and 3gb data. I think the price increased from my regular $63 a month to $90 a month after those changes. Oh.. my 3700 rollover minutes vanished also. Okay, so I was back on data but was temporarily on plans that increased my bill by $30 a month. Not happy and at this point have zero faith in AT&T to fix their mistakes. He gave me $50 credit for my time. Probably within two hours I got a e-mail saying that the data plan was adjusted so I was back on unlimited web. It took me another week to get back to my regular 450 rollover plan and another
few days to get my existing rollover minutes back to what they were. It took four more calls to get this all sorted out. Well, so I thought. I should have over 3500 rollover minutes on my account. I have 28 days left in my cycle and right now it's showing 900 minutes left. SO… looks like I will be making yet another call to AT&T customer support to see what the hell happened to my rollover minutes. As you can see this has been more of a pain then it was worth. I should have just cut the sim card myself and never, never, gotten AT&T involved in the first place. This is incompetence at a very high level. It's almost as bad as my experience trying to get a $30 T-mobile plan working again.
---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------
and after spending more time on the phone with AT&T, they deleted my previous rollover minutes (again) and had to add them back. I'm sure this will be a regular dance at the start of every cycle now. so unhappy.
Well, took your advice and called AT&T, gave them the IMEI number of my first Moto X and now it's all back to normal, I got my LTE back.

Well, I just bought the HTC One M8 Harman Kardon edition to replace my Evo 4g LTE, and overall it's not a bad phone. Like the audio and speed of the phone.
However... It doesn't work very well as a phone. If I go into an area where signal is sketchy, I will get the above error (Loss of Data, LTE: EMM-65535). Okay, I understand I am in a low signal area.
BUT... When I get back into signal, the phone has lost it's provisioning. I have to do the whole ##72786# routine to get the phone to take/make calls, accept texts, etc etc.
First Sprint says it's a provisioning issue. Then they tell me its a hardware issue. The local service center tells me they have seen numerous phones come in with this, and they replace them, and it still does the same thing. The tech said it is an issue with the network not handling the new Spark network, and to put the phone into CDMA mode for a week to see if it clears up or not.
My phone is stock right now (Still, S-ON and locked).
Software 1.54.654.13
PRL 51100
HBOOT 3.16
Radio 1.05.20.0321_2
I've tried restricting the phone to Home Only, putting it into CDMA mode, and it still does it. I'm about ready to reactive my Evo just so I have a damn phone to use.
I just returned mine for these very issues. Many complaints in the Sprint Community forums.
For me, 9 out of 10 phone calls in or out fail, if you get lucky and make a call you might get 20 seconds in before it's disconnected. Virtually zero data. This was at my house, and different places around my area of town. I really liked the phone itself though.

Sprint believes the phone is defective. I don't think it is. As long as I am on my home cell, it's fine. I leave the area, and pwoof!
The phone shipped in LTE/CDMA mode.. Sprint advised me to try it in Auto and see what happens. They also pushed a network ticket to see if there is anything wrong there.
I had the same issue, brought it in the store and they swapped it, said it was the SIM card reader. I've had my replacement for over two weeks now and no issues.

After putting the phone into "Auto" mode, it seems to be working fine so far. I'm trying to get it to choke so I can further troubleshoot this issue. If not, I am going to drop by the Sprint store where I bought the phone and see if they have had any reports of this.
I had the EXACT same issue with my M8. Sprint replaced it with a brand new one and it's been absolutely perfect.

Well I went to the Sprint store, and they replaced the phone without question. Something that I thought funny... My "old" phone came out of the box with 1.54.654.13 on it. The "new" one came with 1.54.654.9 on it. I asked the tech in the store, and she said the "new" phone just came in on a shipment today. That doesn't really mean anything, though...
Out of the box, it had the LTE error again, but this time it added a EHPRD: 33 below it.
The tech in the store said that all of Sprint's Spark phones are having this issue, not just the HTC.
I will wait and see what happens. The phone has the same signal characteristics as the "old" phone.
Having the same issues as everyone above. Visited a Sprint repair store several times. I had the device about a month without any issues, then suddenly calls dropped, data wouldn't work, texts wouldn't send, yada yada. Factory reset, RUU, all the dial codes, nothing helped. The Sprint reps first seemed like this was an oddity, then admitted they've had numerous complaints nationally with the device and the network. They claim it's a network issue, only to be resolved by the Spark upgrades.
It's been about 3 weeks since I've been able to use the device as a phone. Not sure what to do as I don't trust Sprint and their ETAs (they claim network improvements "finished sometime in June" in my area will resolve it).
1.54.654.13 the problem?

Had the same problems with my phone. I activated and updated to the latest OTA update (presumably 654.13). It was working, then it started dropping calls, no data, and the LTE error message. I took it to the store and they told me it's an HTC software issue, I'd have to just wait for an update. Not satisified after a week of not being able to use my new $600 phone, I decided to call and get an exchange. After some wrangling, they finally sent me a new one.
The new phone is on update 1.54.654.9, but it wants to update to 1.54.654.13. I shut off the auto download and decided NOT to apply it. So far so good. I can make and receive calls again, data and texting work great too.
My thinking is, 1.54.654.13 has the bug. With only the 1 phone, I'm not going to try it for now.

I believe the .9 RUU is available.
I recently traded my note 3 for a m8 hk edition. Service is horrible at my house in southwest baltimore county. But the weird thing is if you walk 4 blocks up to the main road service is fine. My note 3 and my fiances s4 connect to the airrave fine. We get all of our calls and text. Now this m8 will connect to the airrave and make calls but i cant send or recieve messages. If i disconnect it from the airrave it litetally wont call out but then i can get messages. Sprint wants me to take it to a tech but i already installed a zagg screen protector so if they replace it im out $20. Also ill have to pay the $30 deductible. Does anyone know what i could do to fix this. I was gona trade it for a note 3 but i really like this phone and wanna get it working

I just received my 32 GB Nexus 6 that I purchased on the Motorola store and I have not been able to successful activate it on Sprint. When they activate the phone both LTE and 3g work perfectly, but I am unable to make or receive calls and SMS . When talking to sprint they show that the device is activated correctly and can not find a reason why it would not work. Currently i am waiting on sprint to work a ticket for this issue, but I was wondering if any one else has run into this and if so were and how were you able to get it resolved.

possibly due to wifi calling enabled on your line?
after activating mine over the phone and watching my phone "update device config" by itself.. When I finally decided to make a phone call 30 mins later and noticed it not working.. I had to go under carrier settings and "update device config" a few times before my calling finally started working.. since then everything had worked fine..

I have been through that so many times and no luck. The only thing I can think of is the IMEI whit listing issues I have been reading about with the CDMA carriers.
Just in case any one else is having this issue or considering buying a Nexus 6 from Motorola to use with Sprint I wanted to follow up with how this ended.
After a week of going back and forth with Sprint, talking to them at least once a day and having multiple tickets opened and closed they were not able to provide a solution. The final answer they gave me was that the IMEI was not compatible with Sprint, even though the phone should be. They then continued to say that unless the phone is purchased from them they can not guarantee it will work and suggested I return the Motorola purchased phone. In the end the phone was more important to me than being a Sprint customer, and luckily I was in a position to leave Sprint after being a customer for 12 years. After porting my number over to AT&T my Nexus 6 is now working perfectly.
I can't say this will be an issue for all users purchasing a Nexus 6 from a seller other that Sprint but it is something to consider before doing so.
