Hey guys,
Just wondering for those of you who are also using Google Edition on 4.3 (whether purchased a GE or "converted" to GE or just applied the latest radio from GE [4A.18.3263.15_10.38h.1157.04L]) and are on AT&T if you've noticed a decrease in network service on this new radio.
I was using the latest AT&T radio (the one that enabled the additional bands) for a couple days after it came out before 4.3 - Friday night after 4.3 came out I used the conversion process to GE so I could flash the 4.3 OTA, and along with it the new firmware and radio and since then I've noticed my service to be lacking. At first I thought it was just the visual indicators (even my WiFi never had full bars and that was in a 600 sq ft studio apartment!) but today now that I'm back to work in an LTE area (I live in Los Angeles), I'm only getting HSPA (indicator says H, not LTE now).
I know I can easily flash that other radio again, and I probably will. But, just curious on other's experience with the GE radio.
I would stick with the att specific radio that enables lte band 2 and 5 as it has made a huge difference for me there were areas I only got 1 or 2 bars in city
Not anymore 3-4 bars always till I go outside of city

I am not running the GE rom, but on Sense rom and I ran both. I found the initial one that unlocked the bands (4A.17.3250.20) was a great improvement for my network speed on LTE. I only ran a few tests on the newer GE radio but I do think it is a little slower, and just barely. However I have stuck with the latest radio becasue I think the battery is better when using LTE even if the speed isn't quite as good. Not a very large difference mind you, I'm talking like an average of 1-2 Mbps slower on the download side only. So could be nothing, since I didn't do lots of tests on both.

Yeah, I think I will go back and see how it goes. I was wondering if GE radio also enabled those LTE bands for AT&T but I'm assuming they did not? Is there any way to test for sure I wonder aside from just "visual cues"?
I applied the 4.3 GE RUU on my 64GB DE HTC One and am getting ~20Mbps compared to 30+Mbps with the 4.1.2 stock rom.
Has anyone tried applying the ATT radio on a 4.3 GE rom?
Thanks!

bump~ anyone?
I did the full convention when the 4.3 ota dropped. Wasn't a big fan of GE so I converted back to sense, but left the firmware and radio in place simply because I was lazy. I flashes the newest at&t radio a few days ago. I now LTE at my house consistently where as I didn't get LTE before. I haven't done any speed tests since its not a big deal to me since I use wifi about 90% of the time.
AT&T HTC One
Baadnewz's InsertCoin 3.0-14
Flar2's Bulletproof 4.3
I applied the radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388809&highlight=fastboot and now I'm getting much better speed with AT&T. :good:

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...

Make sure you have upgraded to latest firmware. My brothers red one came without update and he had the same issue.

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.
Hi everyone,
I have an unlocked, rooted, running 5.0.1 Lollipop Nexus 6 that is on the Verizon Network. I also have an unlimited data plan. Ever since I upgraded to 5.0.1 I have been getting very slow upload and download speeds confirmed with the SpeedTest mobile application. I attached a screen shot for you all to see. I've tried rebooting, tried changing from Global to LTE, even turned off N6 and took out SIM card for 5 min to still no avail. Prior to the upgrade, I was averaging around 20 to 25 Mbps downloads. And I have not changed locations recently. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
I thought I was the only one with this problem, my download speeds are slow now as well. I get 6mps, when normally I get around 35mbps
Are you guys on the latest radio??

I used the radio file from the shamu-lrx22c-factory-ff173fc6.tgz image. Are there specific radios for Verizon?

I just flashed this build to my N6 a couple a days ago and right off I noticed that while in my house I wasn't getting a good lte signal anymore. Now before I updated to this build I had good lte in my house almost full bars even in my basement I had at least 2 or 3 bars. Well needless to say I wasn't happy with that so I flashed back to what I was running before which was MRA58N and sometimes R . Well when I flashed back to these builds I noticed again that something wasn't right my signal seemed to have been broke! So I started flashing just radios to see if that would help but to no avail.. I even called T-Mobile and they said nothing was going on in my area and I should have good signal ,but in that same sentence he brought up the cellspot tower that they want everyone in low signal areas to use. Well to make a long story short I live in the city and before I flashed this latest T-Mobile build I had great service even in my house. The messed up thing is I can't fix my N6 now know matter what build I use my signal is no good in my house anymore. It's almost like they have put a patch of some sort to my phone and it modded my phone to not had goog lte service behind walls. My phone now jumps from 3g to h to the ! Mark even when it's in some spot! My battery sucks now because of the constant change. I'm getting a new n6 Monday and I hope it doesn't have this X build on it because I'm going to not flash and see if my signal stays the way it used to which was a good signal. If it has good signal I'm (and this is just my opinion) think there /T-Mobile is just trying to push this cellspot tower on as many as they can and help it along is turning down Rf in our phones so they don't work well indoors.. Just my opinion!
I want the MRA58X radio to see if I have the same problem. I have the MRA58M with the 27R radio and it runs good. I wanna see if the 30R radio gives me more band 12 because I live in a band 12 area but it switches back to band 4 with the quickness. Anybody have the 30R radio in zip forms? It'll be greatly appreciated.

Oh the MRA58X does have band 12. Im not flashing this X build when my new N 6 gets here! I'll stay far away from it! I'll stick with Google's official builds! MRA58N worked great for me on T-Mobile and WiFi calling and I had band 12 as well. When I flashed this X build everything went haywire... IMO!
Im on MRA58X just wanted to know why all these different numbers ? And why is the x bad?

MRA58X screwed up my data/ signal it was jumping all over the place for me. It would literally go from band 12 to 2 then 4 the radio never had a chance to settle and was causing major battery drain. The messed up thing is for some reason I couldn't even revert back to other builds cause the radio stayed messed up no matter what build I was on or rom.. I truly think MRA58X messed my n6 up and T-Mobile thinks it may have as well that's why there sending me a new n6 by Monday..?
Oh I forgot this radio jumping all over the place happens anywhere I go even when Im not even moving..?
Flashing different radios don't help either... I'm truly think this build/X does something weird with the way the phone tracks signals and for me its a major problem

Interesting, i have moto x pure , nexus 5x amd yesterday got the nexus 6 from the Amazon deal, so before using the nexuses i was with the moto x and had no problems with it watching youtube videos or anything. Then 3 days ago i got the nexus 5x and put my tmobile sim in it and started using that and was noticing that the videos were stopping like i was feeling something is not right , then yesterday got the Nexus 6 and put the sim in this now im having the same issues i was on lollipop and was not offering me the marshmallow update, so i unlocked the bootloader and when the phone started it gave the 6.0 update . so now im on the MRA58X. And im thinking maybe the marshmallow has to do something with that? Because the moto x is on lolipop and its a beast. Sorry for the long write.
you guys do realize that you can use any nexus 6 radio on any version of android? well you can. if this radio is giving you issues, you are more than welcome to try any other radio that you like, until you find the one that works best for you. im on tmobile, am using the 27R radio, wifi calling works fine, and so does everything else.

im using marshmallow on tmobile, in nyc, and no problems here. try a different radio, or a few, if the problems still persist then its probably a local tmobile issue. as i said before, im using the 27R radio.

I've tried every radio out there. Before MRA58X this would solve the problem but since I flashed the X build it seems every radio now that I try has same issue. It's like the new X build did some kind of software change and now I'm stuck with every single radio I use jumping all over the place. Before X I didn't have this issue..
I did call T-Mobile and they said there is no problems with the network in my area. They are sending me a new phone and I'm not flashing X period..?

well, it could be not the radio thats the issue as well. tmo delayed marshmallows release because they found a bug, then waited for a rom update. the rom update might be the issue. no, im not on that last tmo build, but all the builds work on tmo, and all of tmos features too. maybe you should try a different marshmallow build?

I did go back to NRA58K then N then even R. But after I flashed the X build it screwed up something where now even on those older builds its screwed up my data. before I flash X I was using MRA58k N and r with no issues. But since I flashed X now on any build its screwed up . Hope that makes sense..?
I'd put up a logcat but I run purely stock anymore because of PAY which I have to have?when I get my new n6 I'm not going to flash MRA58X and I'll see how things work. If all is well then it was the X build or maybe just something in my phone broke. I guess I'll find out Monday..
I've been on stock x for about 4 days. I'm seeing none of these issues and I still have great battery life. Phone has been perfect. I took the ota though. I did not flash x

I am having the exact same issue on my Nexus 6 after taking the MRA58X update. My phone never used to associate with anything besides LTE or HSPA. After updating my phone would switch between all different network modes, even those that I have never seen in my area before the update. The problem is especially bad when roaming around, but having the phone stationary can also exhibit this behavior. The sequence of events is similar to the following: LTE, HSPA, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS (3G), GPRS, EDGE, LTE for a couple seconds, GPRS, HSPA, GPRS... The network is so unstable on the 2G based networks which made using the Internet very difficult. Reverting the radio to the previous version does not fix the issue as reported by a previous user, and it seems like that the update has made some changes in a way to at affects how the radio associates with neighboring towers permanently. I would advise against taking this update if you are using T-Mobile and your device is out of warranty, as T-Mobile will most likely not cover the "damage" even though it may be OTA related. It does however seem that using the *#*#4636#*#* code and forcing the phone into LTE mode makes the mad network switching go away, although now the phone can't grab onto HSPA in LTE coverage holes and call issues in non VoLTE areas. My standby battery life also seems to be significantly reduced by all of this network searching in the background.
You have been warned...
I took the X Ota and the phone is working flawless for me. Sorry you guys are having issues

Clean flash back to lollipop and see if that changes anything.
If it doesn't, it isn't the phone/rom.
BTW I recently got the X update and so far so good but to be fair I'm on wifi alot.
(but LTE does work as before)
...and it there are indeed weird tower issues, a rep won't tell you specifics.
I'm on MRA58N with TMO in the Metro Chicago area, WiFi calling, VoLTE, and HD calling all work fine, but it seems as though my N6 is just stuck on band 4. I've never ever seen this device surf on band 12 (and I run the LTE Discovery app).
