Signal Strength Icon Change - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First, sorry if this has been asked to death. I did some searching and checked recommended posts and FAQs but nothing quite covered this...
I came from a Telus (Canada) ROM and flashed Android Revolution. Now, on Telus I'm pretty much always in 4G no matter what, never changes. Occasionally I'll skip up to LTE; at least according to the icons.
Anyway on this new ROM it's skipping all over from 3G to H to H+ to occasionally LTE. I heard rumblings that 4G is usually a buzzword companies use incorrectly due to a loophole, so is that what I am seeing here? Telus using 4G icon for the signal levels of 3G, H and H+?
Ideally I would like to change my icon set back to what it was, if that's not too difficult (I was hoping for something like taking them from the other ROM and pasting them into the new one, but i have a feeling it won't be that easy). If it's a pain, the knowledge of what's going on will help me just deal with it.
Thanks in advance you guys!

If its anything like AT&T this is exactly what happened. Your new ROM is reporting data connection correctly, your stock ROM only showed 4g.
Are you s-off?
And during installation did it ask you to pick a carrier?
What did you select?

I am currently not S-OFF as I haven't had any reason to drop the security yet.
When I installed it, it did ask what version of the HTC One I had; I chose HTC (Canada) from the list.

OK, try flashing an AT&T signal mod. I'm not sure if it will work, but they seem to report the signal the same way. I've seen a few floating around the mods section.

Alright, cool I'll give that a shot.
Just in case it doesn't work, in terms of increasing signal capabilities its 3G, H, H+ and then LTE correct?

no LTE since flashing VJRaider 0.0.4

I just flashed the recently released VJRaider 0.0.4. It went pretty smoothly except for one major issue. My Vivid no longer gets LTE. It only gets H and
3G. At first I thought it was only an issue w/ the icons being wrong as I read that was an issue w/ previous releases. Speed tests are definitely confirming that im not on LTE. Do I have to flash a new radio?
We don't have s-off so you can't flash a radio. I'd ask this in the ROM thread to see if other users have the same problem.

It's a little hard to post in Development section when there's a 10 post requirement to post there .
On topic, I'm running VjRaider 0.0.3 and haven't noticed any problems with this.
More than likely you need to enter in the correct apn settings. Some roms are missing certain apns

Hey! What APNs do you have on the ROM? Maybe you are on a non LTE APN.
Also on what network and country are you on?
ROM has all APNs that Pirateghost has compiled and a lot more, maybe some of them are wrong or have been changed.
I've changed some of the icons so you will see 3G, H, H+, 4G, and 4G LTE when you are on one of this networks and not just the 4G icon no matter what network are you on.
I don't have any LTE network available at my country yet, so I can't test this, and no one has reported me any trouble with LTE networks.
im in NYC... which APN should i hop on?
htc lte
They preset the 3G H+ settings.. but you will need the PTA apn in order to get 4G LTE... I was upset also but I figured it out.. best Rom for the vivid... So I made it work lol thanks guys

Rooted and cannot get lte

I got my HTC one as soon as the black model came out. When I got the phone LTE was only available in the town I got the phone in. I live about 30 miles away. LTE has been live in my town now for the last month and I can not connect. If I go back to the town I got it in, LTE works just fine. I've done a ##786#, updated my profile, installed a corp prl. Nothing seems to help.
I am wondering if I need to revert to stock unrooted in order to update to LTE, or if ther are new radios. Any ideas would be appreciated.

So what your saying is, you bought the phone in City A, and you live in City B. LTE works in City A where you bought the phone, but as soon as you got home (City B), LTE wouldn't connect. However if you return to City A LTE connects and works.
I don't think the problem is with your phone, it sounds like the towers are not fully active in your city.
I would normally agree, however my wife has LTE and she has the exact same phone. My buddies across town have LTE also, one with an SIII and one with an S4. I swear the only difference is I have a rooted phone. I would assume it is the phone, but it works every time I hit the city limits of the town I purchased it in.

Just RUU the phone, and reroot. But to be quite honest, it sounds like either a ROM problem, a kernel problem, a powersave problem, or that LTE is disabled. Do a ##DATA#, go to edit, and under one of those tabs you willl be able to select the mode of operation. Select the one that says CDMA + LTE. If this is properly set and you don't get LTE, then you should install a good ROM and kernel. I recommend using d3rpOne as the ROM, and elemtalX by flar2 as the kernel. There are no radios to flash, or updated radios. PRL (stock PRL) will not inhibit LTE, nor will it enable it by using a corporate PRL. There is only like 1 or 2 PRL ranges which will disable LTE. If all else fails, RUU it. You should never do a ##786# on a custom or rooted ROM. After the RUU, i suggest you do the ##RTN# again. If you have LTE and your phone isn't defective, LTE will work. Then proceed to getting the custom recovery, and S-Off. Don't worry about rooting, since d3rpOne is already rooted.
RUU then ##RTN# fixes any and all configuration / corruption issues. If this does not fix it, have Sprint give you a new One.
Also, RUU'ing your phone will wipe the internal storage... Back it up first.
Thanks. I'll give it a go this evening. I'll let all know how it worked as soon as I finish.

like dirtbiker said, check if lte is enabled.
Make sure also you have the correct apns. Also depending on the rom, 4g may infact be lte fyi.
The fastest speeds I get on the 4.3 Roms are 6-7500kbps. My wife's HTC one with stock 4.1.2 is 21000-23000kbps
Any ideas ??

They are the same. Go to system/customize/ACC and edit the default.xml line where it says 'show_lte_for_4g' to true if you want it to say LTe, it doesn't really matter.

I already answered you in your second thread : New thread You didn't even answer... Don't just go around creating threads....
Flash this radio. It's the latest from Bell and Sasktel uses the same frequencies so you'll be fine. Download and then simply flash in recovery.
Afterwards, try this :
In phone press *#*#4636#*#*, then go to Phone Information, scroll down and you'll see "Set preferred network type:" , select "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto".
Reboot phone
THIS REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE S-OFF, if you don't, not my problem.
Hi there. Flashed the new radio. Switched to CDMA/LTE/gsm reboot. Ran speed test and only getting 4g speeds which are 3-5mbps down and 2mbps up. Ran same test on wife's none touched phone and got over 25mbps down and 20mbps up so not sure what else to do.
Do you have LTE speeds in your phone running that ROM.??
Thanks for all your help
Have tried numerous roms. Currently using tripndroid. Only getting 2-3mbps not 20mbps or so like it should be. Have flashed various radios and notta

[Q] Sprint htc one Unlocked being used in caribbean on gsm network no 4G

I bought a sprint htc one anfter a lot of tampering/ softbricking i finally got the bootloader unlocked the Bad Boys rom installed and achieved S-off
using the fire water method
i am on 4.4.2 on a network called digicel everything works fine with one exception NO 4G very disappointing ive unlocked GS4 for sprint for use on the network called Digicel and it worked so im curious if anyone knows of anyway for me to get said 4G on sprint htc one ive done enough research the sprint htc one does have the required basebands to support 4G but as of now all it display's is gsm
Ay help is kindly appreciated also if there is another thread with the same question posted i apologize for asking again, didnt come across any answers in my search. Thanks in advance
I'm going to be doing something similar soon when I go to Jamaica (Sprint is unlocking for international SIM use for me) so hope I can help...did you make sure you have a 4g plan from digicel?...if I remember correctly, they have a seperate plan that had seperate 4g charge incorporated...correct if I'm wrong...maybe you need to add 4g to your plan?

i thought of that also but when i unlocked the samsung galaxy s4 previously i didnt need to activate 4G once i put the sim in i would pick up the 4G one i was in a good coverage area, digicel's 4G service is kinda spotty im in antigua, if i go to the town or on a hill id get 4G in most places, i dont believe that im even getting 3G on the htc one as it only says gsm :/

Ahhh, hmmm, in that case I don't know...interesting though to see how it works out for me...mine will be just for fun/emergency use for a week but still would be nice to have good connection. Update me/us if/when you get it figured out.

First make sure your APN settings match your carrier. Second make sure in network settings make sure you have chosen CDMA/LTE. Sprint always shows that stupid GSM sign when using it on a GSM network outside US. Do this with a file explorer go to /ststem/customize/AAC/default.xml change sku_id to 42 and reboot
The phone will show the correct sign 3G, H, etc

i finally got the file edited, now it shows an E i will try a sim i know has 4G and post an update thank for the help
it would really help to know if this worked for you as im thinking of buying a sprint htc one since they are cheaper to use in jamaica on that same digicel. so its great to know that it works would be better to know if the 4g works or atleast if the network data speed is good since im a wifi kinda guy
sprint galaxy S4 has 4g 1700/2100mhz for gsm networks but sprint htc one has no 4g for gsm networks , so 4g will not work.

Can get LTE and 3G but not H+

Hey, I ran a sense 6 telus nandroid on my bell phone so I could have sense 6 but since then I've been unable to get my H+ internet back. I imputed the apn info manually and was able to get lte back but it only switches between lte and 3g. Never get H+.
Any suggestions how to fix?

Use my restore back to android thread and start fresh using Bell firmware.
Thanks. I'll do that as a last resort. Just wondering if someone might have a quick setting fix or something?
Any idea why that would happen? I guess its not the end of the world but it's really the only thing not perfect with this phone

still haven't seen H+ come back on my phone. Seems like the signal isnt as good as it used to be either.
This is the radio i have: 4a.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04l
would changing the radio possibly bring H+ back.
Trying to go back to stock with hboot 1.56 has been nothing but problematic for me because i cant get S-off to work.
