[Q] Wifi and 4/3g strength - Sprint HTC One (M7)

My one is getting around 2.89mbs on speedtest on wifi and. and1.39mbs on lte. I upgraded the radio firmware hoping for a boost and no such luck. My fiancée iphone is getting over 20mbs on the same wifi. I am using beanstock as my current rom, could it be just the rom or is it just the one? Or could it be a hardware problem? I do have a otterbox defender case so I don't think it could be from a occasionally drop in accident. Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Honestly I'd try it on a sense based rom then you will see that the problem is the AOSP roms.

Alright will do. Thanks.

I have tried 3 different sense roms,elliptic,renovate,and now on omj.still the same speed as beanstalk.

[Q] Battery life mobile vs stationary

Hi,
I was searching but couldn't find anything with regards to my issue. I've had my Galaxy s I9000M for a bit over a week and have noticed that the battery level, even while doing nothing, will decrease more when I am moving vs when I am stationary. The phone IS rooted, unlocked and I also have applied the OCLF 2.0. I have disabled GPS as well as the 'Use wireless networks' but they seem to have done nothing in regards to prolonging battery life. My guess is that it has something to do either with some kind of location tracking that I have overlooked or the built-in accelerometer. If anyone has any idea what it might be that drains my battery while I am mobile vs stationary, please advise.
Thanks in advance.
I think it got something to do with live wallpaper. I had same problem, before i go to work its 100%. I hardly use it at work cos got a work phone. 8 hours later and its down to 60%. Im on jm8 with digital wall paid live wallpaper.

Varying signal strength could also cause that, as the cell radio will use more power when in weaker signal areas.

I don't think that would apply to my case though, since I am still using the default wallpaper that came with it, but that is definitely something that i will have to keep in mind. Thanks for that.

I have not even considered that, but I suppose that could be a possibility. I'm wondering if there is anything that I could do that could prolong the battery life if what you suggested would actually be the cause.
Anyone else have any possible ideas or suggestions?
Thanks again for the replies.

[Q] Poor Signal Reception

My SGS has Poor Signal reception in Most areas where, Other Phones have around 3-4 bars. On my SGS Calls drop, and sometimes, It says No Service as well. This happens in Areas which are far from a cellular tower.
I use 3G, and even switching to GSM only doesnt help in most cases.
Anything I should try :?
Using In Sri Lanka, Dialog GSM. Using JVR, with JVO Modem. Tried the ZSJPG Modem as well, same problem.
flash JVT baseband. It drains battery little more but has better signal. From my experience.
I had similar problem in UK, flashed ICS and is getting better now

yeah I think I noticed a bit of a difference on onecosmic's ICS port here in aus
Thanks heaps for the replies guys,
But ICS Port is still a wip isnt it ?
I'd wait till it completes and comes out of the testing stages.
Also, I think that this might be a hardware issue as well, so thinking of
taking the phone apart, and replacing the antenna material with something more sensitive / conductive.
Lets see how it goes..
You could try the 3g tweak script from thunderbolt, worth a try!

Vivid thoughts

I've been vaguely looking at new phones for the past few months. I currently have a Nexus One which I got used last July and I love it,. but I'm looking for something different. I'd like to have something dual-core and with a higher-resolution screen than my Nexus One. I had been looking at the Atrix or Sensation (with the Sensation, I'd get no AT&T 3G), but they're both dual-core and with qHD screens. Then, a few days ago, I was browsing around eBay and I was shocked to see the prices of the Vivid going for around the prices of the Atrix and Sensation. Out of the three phones, I feel that the Vivid is my best choice. It's the newest, it has LTE, and it has ICS (as does the Sensation, IIRC). I feel like the Vivid has flown under the radar for half a year. It was a flagship-worthy phone on AT&T that was overshadowed by the Galaxy S II and iPhone 4s.
I don't plan on buying anything now (I'm in the process of building a new PC), but I'd like to get something in the next few months. I do have a few questions about the Vivid, however.
I have a standard AT&T 3G SIM card with the 200 MB data plan. Will I need a new SIM for 4G (either HSPA+ or LTE)? I've read that you can use old 3G SIMs but you need to change some APNs to access normal UTMS 3G.
Is there a data on/off toggle on stock Sense 3.6? With my Nexus One, stock Gingerbread has a setting in Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Data enabled which totally toggles data on or off. To save data use and battery life, I only turn on data when I need to use it. Otherwise, I'm on WiFi or not connected to anything at all.
Finally, how is battery life? I've read a lot about how bad the Vivid's battery life is. With my normal usage, I can easily get at least two day's use out of my Nexus One with some life to spare. Could I get something similar out of the Vivid if I turn off all data or WiFi when I'm not using them?
Finally, how is ICS on the Vivid? How much AT&T bloatware is present? My past two Android phones have run stock Android (Nexus One and G1) so I'm not used to bloatware and custom skins. From the little I've used and seen from Sense, I believe that is the most useable of the third-party Android skins, I'm just concerned about the restrictions and crap that AT&T may have put into it.
I think this asks everything, but I'm sure I'll think of more down the line. Thanks!

It's an amazing phone. LTE speeds while maybe a bit much for the avg user are phenomenal (at least in my area). Battery life is bad if you leave data on constantly, but if as you said you turn it off when not using it it's actually pretty good.
You will have to go into an AT&T store to get the LTE sim and have them turn on LTE for your phone, but they don't charge you for it and there's no extra charges for LTE.
ICS is pretty amazing. Pretty damn smooth and very beautiful. Only thing is there isn't much development going on for it. Good thing is that if you want to root you can get the stock ICS feel going on it. I personally prefer it with sense, but some on here would probably call me a heretic for saying that. To each their own.
All in all...definitely a solid buy if you can nab it for $230 or less. Otherwise there are already and also will soon be new phones at a similar or lesser price that'd probably be a better choice. I think that covered most everything you asked lol

Just got the wife a Vivid. I can't speak to the sim card issue but I can tell you that the battery life is about average for similarly spec'd phones. She gets a full day out of it but has to charge it every night. There is an option in the default firmware to turn off the data and this will increase your battery life. Finally I really like the ICS/Sense combo, but that is a complete personal preference thing. I would recommend rooting it to remove bloatware if you are so inclined; the process isn't too difficult but as for all HTC phones it's harder than it needs to be. After root there are many rom options both with and without Sense.

Ok if you want to use 4g LTE then, you will need a new sim card(ATT will give you a new sim card). But other wise just insert your sim card. You shouldn't have to change you Apn.
The bloat ware is not too bad but the restrictions can get annoying. First of all you can't do any wireless tethering. 2. You can't download any tethering apps from the market or other app att chooses to restrict.
Now I pretty sure that ginger bread has a data toggle. But I know that ics has a data toggle. The toggle can be seen by holding down the power button.
The battery life is not that good. If you want to save power keep WiFi off whenever you can and do not keep your phone on auto brightness, it will kill your battery. Also I've noticed that with facebook, YouTube, WiFi, auto brightness and, plugged into a charger the phones battery level will decline or just never move. The stock battery is a 1620mAh battery. You can improve the battery buy getting a battery case or a bigger battery. I suggest Mugen Power 3400mAh battery: http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-3400mah-battery-for-htc-vivid-htc-raider-4g/
Also while use a lot of apps the phone will heat up.
If you consider rooting then go to this thread. It will help you with all the roms and other things: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486024/
The Vivid is a good phone but if you have the money then get the New HTC One x which is way better the vivid. And its only $99 on contract: http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/

I had a Samsung Captivate since the day it came out, but it finally broke. I decided to look on Craigslist because I did not want to use my 2 year upgrade (I'm saving it for the iPhone 5, possibly going to sell it and make a quick buck). Anyways, I found a White Vivid for 120 and jumped on it. I have absolutely no regrets. Like you, I still only had a 3G SIM Card/Plan. I walked into AT&T and they had me out within 10 minutes of entering. That was not an issue at all.
I can only speak for me in saying that the Battery Life will last you quite a long time in Stand-By with Mobile/Wi-Fi turned off. I have no reason to keep it on because I don't need live updates nor do I get tons of emails. I still charge it every night, but with moderate use, I usually end the day with about 70% left. I rooted my phone, but I have always been a fan of Sense, so I am going to keep that. My one complaint is that if I were to put on a case (the guy included an Otterbox Impact case), the phone is uncomfortably large. When it has no case, it feels like a very premium phone with the extra weight.
I honestly can't recommend it. I like mine but honestly sense is too intrusive and development is slow to dead because of ridiculous security measures and let's face it its not getting jelly bean. You want a replacement for your nexus one, get a galaxy nexus from Google. Me personally between my flyer and this phone i really hate HTC nowadays

I personally love the vivid. When I was picking my upgrade it was between either this, the skyrocket or the lumia 900 (which I'm glad I didn't go with). I picked this mainly because of the higher screen resolution. I like things to look very crisp. The phone gave me exactly what I wanted. It IS a pita to root if you're new to that kind of thing, but there is an all-in-one kit here that makes it muuuuuch easier. Then again, you don't have to do that. I just wanted the att junk off. And that pos of a fb app.
I only have two gripes with the phone. Battery life is sub par, even after removing the junk and later flashing to a de-sensed rom. And I wish it were as wide as the skyrocket. I have enormous monkey hands and the thinness of the phone works against me. I should have gotten the Note lol.
Vivid, Virtuous Inquisition, De-Sensed, badass.
One thing to consider the only way to root is to unlock the bootloader through HTC developers. And if you relock it, it says "re locked" on the bootloader, effectively telling at&t and htc you messed with it voiding your warranty. You can use a program to change the text back to unlocked but that requires s off and s off requires removing a panel with a screw that says "void". And I've come to find if you take the plunge and root your best off with just making changes yourself because there aren't a whole lot of variety when it comes to custom roms. So if you're looking for a good stock phone, and don't care about jelly bean and don't mind that it looks nothing like the ics rom that Google showed off in October, then go for it. However if you want the freedom to customize then look elsewhere. That's my 2 cents

Thanks everyone for the replies this far. I'm not really that much into rooting and installing custom ROMs, especially on my daily phones. If I screw something up, I'd be out of of a phone for a while. I'm willing to give Sense a try as I've never used it in a "production" environment, so I don't quite know what to expect from it.
Something that I have a question about is a potential audio bug with ICS. I've read that sometimes audio will stop working and you have to reboot the phone for it temporarily fix the problem. Is this a common issue and to what extent does it effect things? Are things like the ringer and alarms effected?
As for battery life, the more that I've thought about it, I don't think it will be too much of a concern. I don't live in a 4G area (I don't think we have HSPA+ and I know we don't have LTE), so I'd be on 3G or EDGE most of the time. Furthermore, I don't use mobile data much at all, maybe 30 minutes a day max. I turn it on when I need it (same with WiFi). I also make sure apps and accounts (aside from Gmail) are not syncing.
I've done some reading about the aforementioned audio problems, and a few places seemed to have mentioned that if you disable "Fast boot" from the Power Options, it fixes the audio problems. Does anyone know more about this?

What audio problems are you having?
I have no audio problems. Really the only bug I have is the Wifi switching on and off automatically. All and all its a great phone aside from battery life on stock but itst not a geeks phone, not at all. I rooted but considering the re locked bootloader thing and considering there just isn't a solid stock replacement rom, I kinda regret it.

There are a ton of roms out but have you tried WCX's roms? In my opinion its a great stock rom for you. Fast, no bloat, wifi is stable and battery life is better than stock, not great but better. I'm not here trying to say this is better than that. I can speak for this rom bc I use it.

I might give it a try. I put on the stock deodexed at&t rom because I just couldn't find the "perfect" rom for me. I tried Holics which is great but just a bit overkill and as stupid as I sounds the fact the Lee Droid tweaks didn't have the correct ics over scroll color drove me nuts. I tried de Sensed which I loved but couldn't handle the low dialer volume issue.
Pretty much I'm looking for a sense rom with a nice mix of aosp and Sense theming. Really wanna get rid of all traces of the sense green color, and have a pure aosp notification area and bar. I'd prefer something light honestly.

No audio problems here after ICS. Sometimes if you're listening to headphones the jack might come out at times but its not a big deal, a firm push usually does the trick.

[Q] HTC One wifi problems

Hi,
I've noticed my HTC One's wifi is really weak. I barely have full bars from my wifi and worst when I am not in the same room as the wifi router I would lose connection altogether.
This only happens with the HTC One as I have tested this with different devices. Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Thank you
I've posted about WiFi dropping out,but for me, performance and signal strength are great. I have seen over 2mb/sec download rates

Don't grip it? The problem is when you conductively bridge the two metal pieces or you completely cover the emitter/receiver portion. The first is unique to the phone, the second is a universal issue because WiFi is easily absorbed by watery bodies.
Edit: If you hold it so that the right side of the phone is the bottom in portrait, don't cover the top left metal area. (Looking at the back, top left metal strip) That is where the antenna is for WiFi, and there is no other antenna for it.

Actually that part of the phone is easy to avoid gripping but i would prefer HTC to put in a secondary Wi-Fi antenna in the bottom like for cellular.

I think HTC had no choice here, it is very hard to make it work. The same issue is present on the iPhone 5, if you cup the bottom WiFi/BT reception drops like a rock.
Easiest solution is to use a case and never worry about it again, but even then, 2.4 GHz is the same frequency used for microwave ovens. Oil/water absorbs it very easily.

5Ghz only works well line of site. If there are walls etc you'll probably get better connectivity with 2.4. Try different channels. This device is much better than the One X+ as far as wifi. on the One x+ in regular 99% of the time grip it would drop wifi almost completely In my bedroom (4 bars wifi) Grip it and drops to 1 or none. With the One i still get 4 bars untouched but it only drops to 3 when i grip it. If i grab top left then it drops like the x+ did. Yes it has a grip issue but ive seen much worse.
My ONE has amazing wifi reception, I can finally use the wifi from my bedroom in other areas of the house which I couldnt do with any galaxy or nexus phone i've owned.

Hi, I want to buy htc one.i heard that its wifi drops signal a lot of times and when you turn on wifi then you have to get the sim out of your phone.is it true? And what do you think about htc one after using it?
Okay what metal piece we should stop covering ? I have a case and it worked fine now it's losing signal all the time but data works
Not every HTC One is created equally?
My wife, her son Ian, and I just bought three HTC One phones. Of the three, Ian's phone is the only one having troubles with 2.4 GHz in my house. It seems to work better with 5 GHz. But my wife's phone and my phone work fine with 2.4 GHz. I did have one problem though. Last night for a while mine could not connect at all until I reset the phone.
Using WiFi Analyzer I saw that Ian's phone was getting significantly lower signal strength.
Has anyone else see anything as specific as this?

Don't know if it is a problem of the router or the HTC One, so please help:
When I'm connected to wifi (only tried it at home at the moment) it sometimes have full bars and then suddenly drops to zero bars and disconnects (I didn't leave the room or move). A few seconds later it's connected again and shows full bars. 10/20 minutes later - same as told.
My HTC Desire doesn't have this problem.
Is it hardware related or could it be the router (dual - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)? Is there something I can do?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Hmm, nevermind, problem solved. On phone I changed frequency to 2.4 GHz and ticked "best Wifi" (something like that) and now I got full bars and stable wifi.

Loss of signal, poor reception, E instead of H (HTC One m7)

Been using my HTC One now since it's release day and although I wasn't a huge fan when it came out, it's grown on me like moss and i'm now 100% confident that I made the right choice in getting this instead of the S4.
However......
On my daily commute to work, a journey I've been taking for over two years now, I seem to have less signal than all the phones before this one ?
It's the same sim card, same number and the same network.
What happens is the signal will go really low to around 1 - 2 bars and the mobile data connection will teeter around Edge and 3G and come back up to H in parts.
My previous handset as you can see from my signature was a galaxy s3, it didn't ever drop below 3G, was mostly on H and never once went to Edge, on the same trip for well over a year, I've also used an EVO 3D which acted in the same manner as the S3, but the HTC One is really annoying me now as I'm not able to check things on the internet and such, which I've been able to do for as I said a few years now on previous handsets.
I'm currently on Venom rom 1.2.1 and I have an Orange Sim card in the UK.
My baseband is 4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05L
I did try another Radio, however it had little impact on the reception and I was just wondering if anyone else had witnessed similar drops in signal quality themselves?
I'm using a case too, I have three, Double dip flip, Double dip and a silicone case, I've also had the phone without a case and it makes no difference at all.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
same problm
I'm in the US , recently unlocked my but but mine all of the sudden drops from 4 bars to no signal. I have noticed that while I have WiFi on, the network signal seems more stable. I've been reading a lot of ppl have the same problm.
I am on TMo in London. When I first got the phone my signal was awesome. I had H with 3 plus bars all the time all the way from home to work, in work, at home. Since the update I have the exact same issue as you. I lose signal completely, it goes to E a lot of the time now. All in all a very poor experience. I was thinking of installing the original radio to see if that would do the trick(I think it was mentioned that the new update had a new radio). I just do not want to root and lose my warranty. I am getting pretty p'd off though so may just take the plunge

I'm in the same boat with you guys. My signal varies a lot from H+ to 3G and E and few times is just disappearing completely, taking a good 1-2 minutes until it comes back. I tried like 4 different radios, all with the same behavior.
I'm on GE 4.3 ... stock.
issue solved

I was also facing the same issue. Finally realized that it was because my network setting was on GSM or WCDMA i.e. 3G.
I changed my network to 2G and everything is fine.
try this out.
same issue!!
Is it possible 2b a Hardware problem !
