I just received a Developer Edition 64GB HTC One today. I noticed with the developer edition the signal strength only show 1 or 2 bar on tombile lte network ,and signal moving between HSPA+ and LTE frequently. i also have sony xperia zl c6506 which show full bar of signal strength in same place,and stay on lte most of time.
Hey I live in Jacksonville FL and I cant get LTE or HSPS+ all I get is EDGE on my brothers sim card, I have the HTC 64GB Developer Edition how are you getting it, which Market are you on. Can you go to your setting- about-network and tell me what you see under Mobile Network Type
Thanks

Well, I live in an area with LTE and it's refarmed and all I get is edge so I'd like to know what it says too. My suspicion is that my plan prevents it. I picked up this data plan back when the G1 came out and haven't changed it since.

try add new APN Fast.T-mobile.com and make sure u switch network mode to gsm/wcdma/lte under mobile network setting
I never would've thought it but a couple of blocks around my house only get EDGE speeds. This morning on my way to work I got 3G, HSPA <E.

Typical T-Mobile signature of spotty coverage. Unfortunately, I'm on T-Mobile too
Rooster I see you already posted there, but for everyone else's benefit let me just point out there's another thread (not specific to T-Mobie) on this topic.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245952
There were a couple relevant ideas brought up in that thread:
1) The developer edition radio hardware and software generally detects the same strength signal as carrier branded phones, but the stock HTC developer edition ROM is very conservative in how many "bars" of signal it displays in the UI. By contrast, carriers tend to like to show a lot of bars in their version of a ROM because it makes their customers feel good. People used to this behavior may be disappointed when they see "fewer bars".
2) The developer edition is also very honest about accurately reporting when the phone is switching between LTE and HSPA etc. Carrier branded phones tend to just say "LTE" all the time to keep people happy. So anyone seeing the actual switching activity for the first time assumes their phone must have a problem keeping the LTE signal locked.
A similar phenomenon happens a lot when people go from carrier-based ROMs to Cyanogenmod. Same signal, just different a display in the UI. Yet new users tend to complain CM has worse radio performance.
It's a legitimate question as to whether you are getting good T-Mobile service, just be aware the developer edition is going to be 'brutally honest' in showing you what is out there.
when I had the Samsung galaxy s3 i747 att model, I put a tmobile rom, and switched mobile mode to wcdma and I would get 4g...
How is it possible to get LTE on Tmobile's network with the Developer Edition HTC One? I thought Tmobile's LTE network is on 1700, which isn't a frequency the One has.
No?
I'm really confused by all this.
Does the Developer Edition support HSPA+ 42 MB/s and LTE? And will it ever?
Or does it only support HSPA 21 MB/s now and forever, as I was led to believe?
Please help me clarify.

Developer Edition HTC One support AWS. AWS is Tmobil LTE 1700/2100 bands

I have the developer edition and have a Tmobile sim in Houston and am able to get LTE. I have noticed that I have a tendency to drop down into edge/3G speeds when I'm inside my apartment when before with my nexus 4 I would hang onto HSPA+.

Ran out of posts to thankyou in ...............
Is there something that one can download for the HTC ONE Developers Edition to improve LTE signal on t-Mobile? I get 1 bar on mine and when I go into a T-Mobile shop and see the HTC ONE at their shop it gets full bars.

Download one of the free signal monitoring programs. It is likely that TMO simply modifies the signal level to indicate more bars. You may well be picking up the same signal with the Dev edition, it just looks less.
Hi all, since a couple of weeks I am the happy owner of an HTC One. Where I live (Belgium), there is currently only one carrier which provides 4G and it is limited to a few cities. However, I live in one of those cities and according to a map on their site I should have 4G reception.
Unfortunately, I tried on several locations in the city and was never able to connect to LTE. My reception is otherwise without problems and I do have 3G connectivity. Now the question is if my phone is the problem or the carrier and a spotty coverage. So I have some questions:
1) Is it possible that the modem is not functioning correctly?
2) Is there any way of telling if the phone is capable of LTE without having an actual network to test it?
3) Do you need a seperate APN for LTE aside from the one used to connect via 3G?
Info for readers that are also living in Belgium. I have Proximus with Generation Connect and live in Ghent. I tested 4G connectivity on "het zuid" and "St. Pietersplein" without any luck.
Not sure if this helps but you could also check with your service provider if the mobile plan you're on allows for LTE access.
Here in Singapore, although there is nationwide LTE coverage, not every customer can automatically access it even though the phone supports LTE. I had to sign a new mobile plan to enable LTE access.
Thx for the reply The situation is very similar in Belgium, not every mobile plan gives you acces to 4G. My plan does, so that cannot be the problem. I suspect it is just spotty coverage by the provider but there is no way of knowing for sure I fear. This afternoon I was standing next to a cell phone tower with network quality -59dBm (which is good I think) and still no LTE. I was getting 24Mbps down on 3G though.
Hmm I would like to know if there are alternative tests too
My area doesn't have lte until beginning next year, but I would absolutely love to see a confirmation that my phone is capable of it

4g and lte are two different things and 24mbs download is 4g or hspa+
I know that 4g and lte are not always the same. 24 down was on hspa+ as you suggested However in Belgium, hspa+ is known as 3g or 3g+ and lte is known as 4g. So in my case, 4g always means lte but I understand your confusion, sorry about that.

You may also need to change your simcard. Here in Malaysia, lots of people buy the phone from retailers, and their older simcard does not support LTE.

That's not strictly true. When the ITU created the ITU-Advanced spec (4G), current implementations of "4G" would probably not pass as it was between 100-1000Mbps. WiMax might. Very few countries went the WiMax route and some have given up sine and switched, most went for LTE as itbwas cheaper to convert existing technology. After the fact, the ITU decided that the 4G term could encompass LTE. So, for over 2 years now, LTE is 4G.
The purpose of this post is to inform those seeking to use the HTC One on AT&T should NOT use the T-Mobile version of the HTC one on the AT&T network due to poor reception issues. Issues may arise from the enabled 42mb hspa+ and/or the inclusion of the 1700 band. Or maybe its just the T-Mobile radio.
I was originally on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile HTC One in Atlanta, Georgia. T-Mobile's coverage wasn't working out for me in buildings so I SIM unlocked the phone and took it over to AT&T. Everything works but AT&Ts coverage was always changing from 1 bar of LTE to barely any bars of hpsa+. I got a AT&T branded HTC One and inserted my SIM and got 2-3 bars of LTE when I was getting either none or one bar of LTE service. I am also getting about 90% more LTE coverage than I previously had with the T-Mobile HTC One on AT&T's network.
I took back the AT&T HTC One as I could not afford to pay full price for the phone at this time. I am still using the T-Mobile HTC One on AT&T and will buy one when they get cheaper.
On a side not my wife has a T-Mobile IPhone 5 and got it unlocked and switch over to AT&T with me and is getting comparable LTE coverage as the AT&T HTC One version. It sucks cause she will have 3 bars of LTE service and I will have 1 bar of hspa+. I wish there was a fix for this rather than having to go through selling the old one and getting a new one. I love my HTC One .
Really interested in this over the HTC One due to micro sd and bigger battery
I've found it here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-SIM-F...67970?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item1e7fd338e2
They say:
O2
Virgin
Orange
T-Mobile
Vodafone
Tesco
3G/4G Network Compatible. Call 3 to confirm full compatibility.
My network is "3"... will this phone work on my network? (and the upcoming 4g service they will launch in December)
Thanks
As long as it's the 901S version it will work on EE & 3's 4G Network, not sure on their 3G. Works with EE's 3G though.
I am on T-Mobile.
So I've had my 802w China Unicom dual sim for a while now, and I was never a big web browser, but on my recent vacation, the lack of 3G was infuriating. Edge was so slow, it was literally slower than a snail. I read on the internet that I needed the 1900 and 2100 bands, which are present on the Dual Sim, and in an area with excellent/very good coverage, I expected it to work on 3G, but it's always on edge, and yes I am using the Sim 1 slot.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Sesamechicken
