LTE -117 to -120dbm

Has there ever been a radio update to change this a little higher on any other phone? Dropping to 3G from LTE is killer.. I usually leave my phone in CDMA only in my home town area but I went to a launched area this passed week where the roll out is in the 90% complete zone and it still drops from 4G to 3G a lot..
Just wondering if a radio update has ever fixed an issue like this on any other devices in the past.

There have been radio updates on the past on other phones that helped but thus far not for the ONE yet

Yup, I think we r over 80% here in austin Texas and it happens to me all day long. My bud just got his T-Mobile One and he hits 20-25 mbps no matter where and when he does a speed test. I could kick myself in the ass for staying with sprint.

Was thinking about getting the one but after my evo lte was having lte issues and the one seems to have the same I passed . The one is a beautiful phone but dropping lte all the time was a deal breaker .

I don't think the phone is the problem buddy. I think it's a network issue. So unless u are planning on actually leaving sprint it shouldn't be a deal breaker.

I don't think it's a phone issue but my Note II holds LTE like a champ but damn I don't want to lug that thing around anymore after having the One for this long.. dbm levels are the same on the Note it just doesn't drop to 3G until the -130 range where as the One drops it around -117dbm... I'm holding out on a possible radio update before I do anything drastic like going back to the Note II.

It's network and phones that are the issue. First off, it shoildnt be that much of a problem to drop to 3g, as long as the data still works. Buut 3g is worthless usually with no throughput.
Then these HTC phones can't hold on (or wont) to lte for ****, for whatever reason. The iPhone 5, gs3, and 4 all held 4g, and when they dropped it, it quickly moved back up to 4g. This phone, on the other hand, will drop 4g, sit with NO data connection for a while, then connect to worthless 3g while still in a 4g blanketed area.
Then on the LTE topic...I've been waiting and waiting but this crap seems to get slower and slower as time passes. Plenty of times I will get less than 1mbps. Ive been waiting almost 2 years for them to get it together but it seems that it won't be happening. Back to tmobole (<10 mbps always) I go

Well I keep telling myself I need to try a galaxy but the build of the HTC phones keep luring me in. Maybe with this phone being a more popular model because it is across different carriers unlike the Evo line the devs can find away to adjust the settings of the hardware. It is very annoying when my T-Mobile buddy constantly pulls 15-25 mbps on his speed tests and I look at mine and see 3g icon on top. I know there is lte out there we r 80% complete here

Slow LTE, Help Please??

Hi I am currently rooted and running SentinelRom (stock kernel) and I absolutely love the Rom. But I have noticed very slow LTE speeds after going to this Rom. Like 1.5mbps down and 1mbps up. Does anyone know a fix for this or some sort of reset??? Because before I was getting 18-20+mbps download and upload on LTE.....
Edit: I reset the APN to default and then turned LTE off for a while and then back on and now I'm getting faster speeds. Maybe this will help somebody out there.

i believe , you should complain to your telco

Reasons for switching to a different device

I just wanted to point out the HTC one lte antenna isn't the best. Just today I've traded the htc one for S4 I now have LTE signal at home.

I traded my S4 for the One and get way better speeds on LTE and 3g on the one

31 up and 9 down eh? Damn that's a fast upload speed.

This pretty much mirrors my own observations. I don't think it's just the antenna either - if you toggle data, you can get 4G in a lot of places with marginal signal on the One. Once that drops down to 3G however, it will never go back to 4G in that area unless you toggle data again.
Enjoy your S4. I'm sticking it out with the One in the hopes that Sprint/HTC fix the radio so it holds on to 4G better.

HTC phones are notorious for having not so great radios. Not saying it's necessarily true, but each of you can be the judge of that.

The newest radio works perfect for me. Signal is strong and switch off between 3g wifi and lte are quick

Sprint network doesn't seem to be all that good. On the sprint network it always seemed to drop 3g all together.
I also use my phone sprint HTC one in Kuwait with a different carrier and have had no problems with signal.

I don't think thats true. To an extent, sure, but this phone is a lot like the EVO LTE. It has a hard time holding onto 4G and getting it to actually switch to 4G sometimes requires toggling airplane mode on and off.

Too bad the S4 sucks as a phone and has touchwhiz.

First, the HTC One is made from aluminum which can disrupt signal. However, on my HTC One I have always gotten LTE when I was suppose to. Signal strength compared to my family's phones HTC Evo 3d, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, and a HTC Evo 4g lte.

I went from htc one to note2. I seem to keep a better consistancy, but it isnt like a night and day
I tweaked my one setting to scan more so I was able to hold it more than stock. But it has improved. I do miss my htc one but still love my note2

I don't think there's anything wrong with the radios. Just that HTC uses different values on the LTE settings. I was comparing my EVO LTE and Note 2 LTE values and I believe the EVOs values were higher. I'm sure that plays a role..

I consistently have LTE where my GF's Note 2 is on 3g. She has yet to have LTE, where I'm stuck in 3g.

Wait, srsly? Where in Boston are you getting this, if you don't mind my asking? I live about 14mi north and I get crappy speeds

I get this all day long. Always full bars and sometimes drops one or two but always gets back to full. Rarely see 3g.

At my work we have a very weak lte signal. Three of us have Sprint HTC ones, the rest has the s3, s4, and the Note II. The ones suck on weak lte signals. Constant drops, slower speeds, and according to the Signalcheck pro app, it's about ten dBm weaker. The note II is a beast on lte, and the s3 and s4 and much better as well.

I went from an original Evo 4G to the 4G LTE. This was weeks before the LTE rollout and it sucked. However, after roll-out, it still sucked. My wife got an S3 and her speeds were great, but more importantly, she could get (and keep) the LTE signal everywhere, whereas my EvoLTE could NOT. I went to the S3, then the Note 2 and had great speed and signal everywhere. However Samsung decided it did not want to support Outlook 10 anymore so I am back to HTC. My first day (yesterday) I was back to the HTC radios which cannot get and hold LTE signals as well as Sumsung.
It just is what it is.

Samsung has a slightly worse track record.

[Q] SLOW DATA speed HTC M7

I'm getting super slow data speeds and I tried to add a new APN and that didnt change anything... I flashed new radio and that still didnt work.
I'm getting less than 1 mbps up and down. Any ideas?
I'm currently running InsertCoin 6.0-2

Anyone? Ideas??

Ask a friend of yours with the same mobile provider, maybe is a general problem?

I experience this also... It is def not network related.. I'm on skydragon. Soff, unlocked, rooted... I have to reboot sometimes to even get the the device to load even the simplest pages such as Google.com..... <getting pissed>

Poor Wi-Fi reception

Just curious if anyone else is having Wi-Fi issues. My reception is seriously terrible and just want to see if I should be swapping it for another one or investigating Wi-Fi repeaters in my house.

I have noticed that I get better Wi-Fi signal with the m7 then the m8, I don't get full bars in some places in my house with the m8 that I did with the m7
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

my reception is about the same as the m7, i will lose connectivity when im about half way down my driveway same as the m7.

I just checked with Wi-Fi analyzer abd my signal is literally half what I get on my m7. A few feet from router I have -60db on m8 and -30 on m7

was this a 5GHz network, or a 2.4GHz network? I've been seeing horrible performance on my 5GHz 802.11ac network, but the 2.4GHz network seems ok. I need to steal my wife's m7 (the only other .11ac device I have access to so I can check if it is my m8 or the router. the router works fine at .11n rates with my laptop though.

This is 2.4, 5 is really bad also but isn't great on the m7
