For some reason I keep losing data connectivity on my bionic. I live in a semi-rural area where sometimes I have 3g and sometimes not. My issues is that sometimes when I leave a 3g area and then return to the 3g area, my phone never connects to it and I end up having to do airplane mode on/off to get it back. Is anyone else having this issue or are there any fixes?
Stock rom, rooted if that matters
I have a 4G plan and it switches back and forth between 4G and 3G.
Do you have 4G, or ONLY 3G?
That's a known issue. If you call VzW they'll tell you Motorola is supposed to be releasing a patch for that sometime in November.
I think it was discussed somewhere in this forum already as well. I was looking for the thread but didn't find it yet.
What I'd like to know is, does going to a custom ROM remedy this issue?

So far, I wouldn't say any ROM has remedied it, though a few to seem to reduce it a bit, but that may be coincidence for some and not true across the user base.

This also occurs if you go between being connected to a wifi network and then to 3g or lte. Really annoying.

Good evening,
I'm an Ericsson(Sprint) tech (Since 2000) in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My phone is unlocked (Via HTC unlock), had TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed, and is running stock other than that. Rooted with SuperSU
I recently got an HTC ONE and found two odd things:
1. After flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251788 , and Power Toggles from the Play store, my Bluetooth audio would go away. The call still connects to the BT headset, but no audio. A stock rom re-flash takes care of that issue 100%. Semi-noob lesson learned, back up BEFORE trying new mods.
2. This phone will not connect to 4G LTE. (more detail to come)
I have tried all the obvious choices: Reflash/Reset, make sure CMDA/LTE mode is set, even changed my LTE Next Timer to 5 from 300 in the ##DATA# screen. I even called employee care and verified that my UICC ID is properly set on the account.
Of course, the local store employees have no idea what to tell me.
I exchanged that brand-new HTC ONE for another brand new handset yesterday. It exhibits the very same exact issues.
This morning on the drive to work, it briefly connected to 4G LTE for a speedtest and I haven't seen LTE since.
For those of you who will say "Yes, but you're in a pre-launch market." I hear you. My response to that is that I physically work on the NV sites. I can take a cabinet key and open the cell site up to verify operation. I am testing this standing UNDER or a few feet away from a NV site running 1900mhz LTE, and my company-issued test LTE phone (different model) is picking up LTE no problem. In fact, I'm so close my download speeds are approaching 30mbps.
I've been lurking here for a while but wanted to see what the community thinks. Did I get TWO faulty handsets, or is there something I'm missing? I still have 1.5 weeks to exchange for yet another handset if I need to.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Disclaimer, these are my own opinions, and not those of Ericsson or Sprint in any way.
I'm pretty sure BT audio is a known issue in most custom ROMs.
Look up "Force LTE" in the Sprint forums. See if that changes anything. (You might have already done this, though)
EDIT: Dial *#*#4636#*#* and change it to LTE only and if that works, LTE + CDMA. If that works, try CDMA/EVDO/LTE (default).
BTW: Where is said tower in San Jose? I live there (here?) and I rarely get LTE signals (but I do).

Forcing LTE only didn't seem to help.
Here's my plan for tomorrow:
1. Drive to official LTE launch market
2. Test for LTE connection with phone as-is
3. If LTE=YES, happy camper
4. If LTE=NO, run the RUU to flash everything back stock (I know I shouldn't need this, but I'm grasping at straws here)
5. Test for LTE after RUU is complete.
6. If LTE=YES, happy camper
7. If LTE=NO, exchange for a black Sprint HTC ONE (Have Silver now). Maybe there's a bad few in a row.
I'll post tomorrow with results.
Also, to be clear, I'm NOT on a custom ROM. I'm on the Stock Sprint ROM, just unlocked and rooted.
I have had better luck with setting my network mode to automatic instead of cdma/lte ... I live In the Fremont area I see tons of areas light up with LTE now ..
But once I get to my house or my shop for work I have nothing lol.

There are a lot of people working really hard to get launched. Glad you're seeing some of that paying off.
I've been going into panic mode with my personal HTC One. I had a horrible experience directly with Samsung on my Galaxy SII. I was hoping to just pick this up and see the heavens open and the light shine down lol.
That hasn't been my experience thus far I'm jealous of all of you happy modders going crazy on this beautiful device. I hope to join you soon

You will soon .. I blame most of it on the network. I know you guys are working hard to get it done. I live in union city and and I have been roaming for the past 2 weeks which really sucks ... I have been forced to use roam control and change my prl to have better roaming ... It sucks to say that I am currently roaming on to metro pcs and have great connection both voice and data lolololol

Well, here's my results:
1. Drive to official LTE launch market DONE
2. Test for LTE connection with phone as-is NO LTE NEXT TO TOWER IN LAUNCHED MARKET
3. If LTE=YES, happy camper NOT A HAPPY CAMPER
4. If LTE=NO, run the RUU to flash everything back stock (I know I shouldn't need this, but I'm grasping at straws here) FLASHED
5. Test for LTE after RUU is complete. NO LTE
6. If LTE=YES, happy camper NOT A HAPPY CAMPER
7. If LTE=NO, exchange for a black Sprint HTC ONE (Have Silver now). Maybe there's a bad few in a row. CALLING TO EXCHANGE NOW
So frustrating. It worked for one connection the morning I got it and then nothing.
Maybe I'll ask for a black ONE just in the hopes that it came from a different production run.
I really want to like this phone, its beautiful. But this will now be my third brand-new handset.

Black HTC One all the way! With any luck you just got two lemons. That's pretty awful luck though, and kind of crazy. Maybe you need to sit on top of the tower.

>Getting my climbing gear out now< LOL
Black ONE is on the way.
Should I just leave the bootloader saying "Re-locked" or go through the dance to get it back to saying "locked?"
I sent the first dud back "Re-locked" as the guys in the store didn't seem to care at all. I guess it's probably no big deal.
I have done very minimal identical items to both phones:
1. Unlock via HTC /Fastboot
2. Install TWRP 2.5 into Recovery via Fastboot
3. Install SuperSU by following the prompts from TWRP 2.5
4. Installed the 3-button mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251788 via TWRP 2.5
5. Installed "Power Toggles" from the Google Play store. (After this step on each phone, Bluetooth would connect, but no audio. I also never saw LTE work again)
6. Reflashed the official RUU after things aren't working.
You guys are all pro modders, is there any step here that would stand out to you as potentially damaging to getting 4G LTE or maybe hurting the radio file somehow? I see everyone having a field day modding and flashing custom ROMs, now I'm scared to do even the basics for fear that somethings going on behind the scenes.
I've got to go do some actual work now. I'll post an update when the Black ONE comes in.
I have had the same problem of LTE not connecting anywhere. I have done the same things as you, including installing power toggles. If I remember correctly, I believe my LTE quit working after installing it as well. I find it hard to believe that the power toggles app could be the culprit, but it's a possibility I guess.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Hmm...weird. Before and after I rooted my phone and installed TWRP 2.5 with Super SU and left my phone "as-is" I fortunately have always had LTE in the downtown Hayward area.
I've been able to flash custom roms and not really have any issues other than those related to the Rom itself. Hopefully you really did just have bad luck...maybe buy a lottery ticket? Lol.
Good luck with your next One!
Hope it works out for you!

The only thing that doesn't sit right with me is that after I run the RUU to restore everything, you'd think the issue would be fixed right?
Well look at this everyone...does this sound familiar?
From: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...scuss-All-Related-Questions-Here-ONLY/page509
"UPDATE: awww, one of those 2g/3g toggle widgets permanetly turned off the LTE radio. Yesterday I could see LTE from Tmo, ATT, Cricket, and MetroPCS. Today all LTE options are gone. When I go into *#*#4636#*#* I can re-select LTE/GSM/WCDMA as a preferred network, but when manually searching for network the phone still can't see any LTE. Power cycling the phone, the field goes back to "GSM auto (PRL)", does anyone know how to make the preferred network stick with LTE without changing back in this hidden menu? What should be in this preferred network blank? and how do you make it stick? anyone?"

Yeah you would think so. I have ran the RUU on 2 seperate occasions just to make sure and still no LTE. I will probably just end up trying to exchange it for another one and hope the new one holds up better.

Now we just need one more brave soul to test power toggles to see if it really is a problem. If it is, contact the dev and tell 'em to declare it incompatible with this device!

I agree. If this app is causing this kind if an issue with the One, we need to verify and make sure that nobody else installs it. Maybe someone has a One that they are about to exchange for a different issue would be willing to test this theory for us.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
I don't know about the 2G/3G facet of it (simply because it's never been noted as compatible with my device in Power Toggles), but I've used this app for a long time and I pull LTE quite comfortably.
Update: called Sprint about the issue and they notified my local Sprint store that when I brought my phone in, they were to exchange it for a new One (not refurbished) at no cost. They were out of stock and I should be receiveing it Saturday or Monday

I purchased an HTC one just this weekend. It's a Rogers version, but the seller had 4.2.2 update with ARHD 12.1 on it. I'm not familiar with rooting, or unlocking bootloaders, and flashing at all. I tried reading several threads here on XDA but I just go really confused as this is all new to me. The issue I have is my signal strength is very weak on LTE. In locations where I would get 2-3 bars, I'm now getting only 1 bar, and locations where I would be getting full strength I'm getting 2-4 bars of signal.
The other day I was downlading some torrent with the phone it kept going from LTE to H+ and stayed there. I don't know if this is because of the 4.2.2 update with the flashed rom. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can get this solved? Thank you.

as far as i know is this a common "bug" of the current radios. the signal strength bar with only one bar is just cosmetic, the speed should be fine but it only shows one bar

Sounds like the Sprint network in a lot of places. Here around ETSU and downtown, it is unusable except for when the college kids are out of town or sleeping.
i am having issues this morning also must be a sprint outage
Edit:
Seems to be back up in my area now
I also have Htc Evo 4g Lte and its not like this. I just flashed both phones to Verizon and the Htc one problem will not go away and what's interesting, Is that with Htc Evo 4g Lte, I can talk and use 3G at the same time but the HTC one 3G icon quick disappears as soon as I start to make a call .

I think that may be due to the hardware in the phone. I'm not entirely sure, but the 4G LTE is able to do both because the hardware allows it to (2 radios?). I know for a fact though that it can't be done on the ONE unless it's LTE.
Here's an article to support this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...supports-simultaneous-voice-and-data-over-3g/
As for the data issue, have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710728s-voice-and-data-over-3g/

Thank you so much. For awhile I was going crazy but didnt even bother looking into it sucks that Evo Lte have SVDO and the ONe doesn't. I thought it did that on the Evo cuz the phone was flashed but now I know. And to fix the data problem I Used the guide in the second link and worked fine a sprint phone but on the flashed phone some ppl claimed bein s-off solved data speed problems so I got s-ff and flashed a different Rom instead of being on stock and rooted. That solved it
The problem with my One is that when I'm on WiFi, I get like 15 Mbps on Speedtest.net but the browser takes forever to open up pages and load photos on Facebook and stuff. I'm running full stock and it does that. Weird...

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.
