Just to make sure.
You do realize that Sprint is still rolling out their 4G LTE network. The 4G network has Sprint advertised since what, 2010? That's Wimax. It used a high 2500 Mhz frequency which couldn't penetrate buildings and burned battery.
Unfortunately, LTE devices like our own can't use Sprint's more widespread Wimax network. Rather, we are stuck with sparse LTE and terrible, terrible 3G.
So before you throw out your One and sue Sprint or whatever, just remember. LTE is still being deployed.

Sprint's 3G isn't half bad if you kick their stupid data proxies off in your EPST settings. Wimax however was and remains a terrible idea.

I may hold off on rooting my replacement, but probably not...
I've been told that LTE should come here in August. I would be so happy.
Just for comparison, when were you told LTE would come to you? Were you given an ETA?

You don't need to root to perform any EPST tweaks. You just need your MSL.
And ... I was never told. Officially, LTE isn't available in my area. I'd download Sensorly and check out your area-- it really can be an eye-opener to see what Sprint's up to (namely because they're really conservative when they launch a market-- they seem to wait until they have a lot of coverage before saying anything, which is good/bad in some ways).

I get 4g in my house sometimes. Sometimes I get kicked off.
We're talking speeds of up to 1.7 megs people. Crazy. That's what leads me to believe I'm getting this LTE signal from far away. Around town shopping? Can barely download an app. However, my local home depot gets 10 megs. So yeah, I have spotty (but existent)LTE coverage, but I think I want more.

Looks like I an going to have to call sprint to get my MSL. I have tried every way I found to get it and every one fails. I've tried the alogcat method, two different MSL reader apps from the market, the ADB method, and the crazy driver modem method. Nothing works. No clue why. Maybe because I'm s-off I need to do that super CID thing. Who knows, Im done for the night.

Really? The serial modem method worked without a hitch for me, but I happened to have the drivers left over from my root (no, you shouldn't need it anyway) so it was just the path of least resistance for me.

Also, ##778# doesn't work for me. It just sort of flashes the screen and deletes the number. I read that you need a custom ROM to do 778.

##DATA# is standard, but for ##778# to work you need to be rooted at the least so that you can use a build.prop editor and change your mode to dev, instead of user. Simple thing really, but if you don't want to root you'll have to forgo any ##778# things.

I wasn't implying that our phones will actually get 7.2mbps down... I was simply asking whether our phones are compatible with HSPA+ and have a "theoretical" cap over 7.2mbps. Hell, we're not going to get anywhere near 7.2 with the backhaul the way it is right now. I'm thinking once they get that sorted, we could get a few mbps.

No it does not support 4G.
T-Mobile have stated that their upgrades to HSPA+ will be backwards compatible with existing 3G hardware. This will result in a theoretical speed of 21 mbps from their network.
Is it 4G (WiMax)? No. But you will be getting speeds decently close to it.

[Q] Horrific signal strength

I'm wondering if maybe I got a dud Hero. I switched from a Sprint Touch a while back and the other day I felt like playing with it again so I installed CM 6.1 on it. I noticed my signal was 100% and thought "That can't be right" so I check both the Hero and the Touch side by side in CM settings. The touch was at -51db whereas the Hero was at -100db. I flashed back to stock on the hero just to be sure and while there is nothing to tell me the exact signal strength in the stock ROM, on the Touch I still had full bars and on the Hero I only had two.
Is my antenna damaged? Is there anything I can do to fix my signal strength?

Flash the newest radio, and Kifno's tweak for increased bandwidth.
Kifno's tweak can be found in the Hero development forum. The new (1.5) version is being released soon so stay tuned for that, It's said to bring many improvements.

I am using both right now. My current radio is 2.42.02.10.29. I'm also using Kifno's latest tweak. My phone will frequently drop out of 3G and revert back to 1x. Its hell on my battery life and just damned annoying besides. I'm wondering if maybe the internal antenna is broken.

Bad idea.
(1) If switching to EVDO-only mode made your data faster, it probably* means that Sprint doesn't offer EVDO in your area; so now you're data-roaming on whichever provider has it in your area (probably Verizon). This is fine for a while, but if you use too much data this way for several months, Sprint can and will cut off your service.
(2) Forcing EVDO on all the time is going to be a battery hog, especially if the phone wasn't using it before for some reason.
(3) If you end up in an area with poor coverage, you may lose data altogether instead of falling back to 1xRTT.
*I said PROBABLY. Check Sprint's website to see your local coverage.

im on nfx stock sprint rom right now and awhile back i remember i called customer care and they actually told me about the data codes sense i was rooted and i already had my msl number. what the person said i could try originaly is dial ##3282# and go evdo and change it to hdr only witch truely forces evdo only however u cant recive texts or calls but u can send them so thats only usuefull if your tethering. also they told me to dial *18 send and that will automaticlly connect u to the nearest cell tower.

[Q] AT&T Rep showed me his captivate on 4G???

Ok, so the other day I visited an AT&T store, and while I was there I got talking with one of the reps there. We were talking about flashing different ROMS and such, when he showed me his phone. He was running a custom rom that he cooked up in the romkitchen. He then showed me his speedtest.net scores and they were off the charts! He was getting something like 9 Mbps down, and 30 Mbps upload speed! He tried to explain to me how he had done this, off the record of course, but I haven't been able to figure it out! If there is anyone out there who can help out an aspiring noob, I would really appreciate it!
its called HSPA (aka HSPUA and HSPDA for upload and download)
They probably also have a signal repeater or a microcell in the store too increase performance
yeah tricky a-holes... "see how good att reception is? ..... (in our store) "
Interesting, so I guess to simplify, captivate is still unable to access what AT&T calls "4G"? Also how would one know if they were accessing HSPA?

The captivate us capable of hspa it just needs to be flashed to a different modem.bin that supports it
The signal icon at the top will say H instead of 3g.

How much experience do you have with at&t as a provider? Or are you just regurgitating what you have read. Every carrier has their issues but you seem to have some deep seeded hatred for at&t.

They actually lowered my monthly rate a couple months ago. I was shocked. As for everyone else being a lot cheaper, I am not so sure. I have had Sprint, still have a Verizon plan, and recently looked into T-Mobile. In the end it comes down to coverage for me.

well their prices(AT&T) are still higher than the other providers. unlimited data plans for $20-$30 when at AT&T you only get so much but get unlimited when on wifi....then again wifi isnt everywhere. i myself have almost the lowest plan with one of the lowest data plans and still pay almost $100 a month!....just sayin
Hey I appreciate all the input regarding my question, ive done quite a bit of reading on this forum lately and am learning a lot! So I guess my next question would be, what kind of speedtest.net scores would one get if connected to HSPA?
HSPA that Att is deploying currently is limited to 14.4Mbps. Real world speeds up to ~12Mbps. The captivate does NOT have HSPA, only 7.2Mbps HSDPA.

Wireless network speeds depend on a number of variables. If you see the H, it just means the software is turned on in the tower you are connecting to. The faster speeds are dependent on whether or not there is expanded backhaul (fiber from the tower into the network) in your area. Until that's added, you won't see speeds above what you get from 3G. Of course geography, your location, number of people connecting to your tower, etc... also play a role.

[Q] San Jose, CA: HTC ONE, no LTE at LTE tower and loss of BT audio

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).

Here's my plan for tomorrow:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

3G just dropped and hasn't returned??

I've been on Viper rom for the past several months. Today my 3g just dropped and it will not turn back on no matter what I do. Airplane, reboot..nothing. Anyone had this issue? Could it be a PRL issue?
It's most likely not a PRL issue. Try updating your data profile, but more then likely it's a Sprint issue and nothing to do with your phone. My 3g has gotten so bad I don't even try to use it anymore. If I can't connect to WiFi, I just shut data off completely. Sad that Sprint has come to that.

Nah I doubt it. My G/f has Sprint, her phone is fine. A couple buddies at work have Sprint and they're fine. It's been like like the last 10-12 hours at work, they use their phones just fine while my data is 100% gone.
I'm on wifi now, I did a profile update and nothing. This is crazy...it's almost like I have mobile data switched off but it isn't. Never had this issue before.

Hmm, that worked... I've never even messed with that setting, weird that it gets borked outta nowhere.
Thanks a ton for the tip, really appreciate it. It is odd to me tho

Check your SIM card. If your towers have been upgraded to NV, 3G AND 4G data won't work if there is a problem with the SIM card. People have said the SIM only affects 4G data, but this is not true if the SIM card is removed or not detected in an NV area. Usually the phone will tell you if there is a problem with the SIM card though.
I just went through this on my new Red HTC One because the SIM Wirefly sent with the device was defective. I noticed I could only get 3G from my Airrave, and not any towers around here. That is because the towers here are NV towers and it is connecting in CDMA eHRPD mode for 3G/4G handoff, which requires a SIM card to work properly. I flipped the phone to CDMA only and it is working fine now in EVDO Rev A mode.

same thing happened to me i actually took it to a repair place thinking it was messed up and the tech said that said that it was something to do with them testing the networks. an i know after a couple of days i was able to switch back to the LTE/CDMA mode with no issues.
Same here in los Angeles region
