Hi all, well my One arrived from the UK today.. As I feared it does not have the ATT LTE bands that PDAbd.net suggested it had, bummer, but I can live with HSDPA... Set up the phone, it asks me to select the operator I am unsing, with ATT as the first choice... all goes well.. I load it up and initial impressions... WOW.. what a great phone.
BUT and and very BIG BUT.... the signal is terrible... bouncing from no signal to 2 bars and displaying H one minute, 3G the next and then E...
Driving down a notorious road it drops the call at least half a mile before typical and doesn't pick it up again until even later..
Does anyone know if there are any setting I can adjust to optimize to ATT?
I really do not want to put it is back in the box, but unless someone has a suggestion for me, I have no choice...
Help!!
Many thanks,
Nick
A quick question. Where did you get your HTC One? And have you used any other HTC Phones before and got good signal with it?

Hi There,
I bought it in the UK. It was a legitimate HTC supplier and an unlocked model 801n.
I have used a couple HTC phones in the past:
ATT 8X - worked well (at least as far as signal was concerned, but that was the ATT model)
I also had a Verizon Incredible, but since that is a different provider, I am ignoring it.
Other phones I have right now adn tested in the same location with the same SIM:
1. ATT - Galaxy note 2 - good signal no issues
2. ATT LG Optimus G - Good signal no issues
3. ATT Iphone 5 Good signal no issues
4. ATT Nokia 920 - good signal no issues
5. Blackberry Z10 - unbelievably good signal - no issues - Unlocked ATT bands, not ATT branded (Purchased from Expansys USA)
This is why I am wondering whether it is some kind of optimization issue. I cannot believe HTC could have made such a mistake in design. Also, if I switch to GSM only, I have full bars.... It is only on 3G and HSDPA that the signal is poor and the display oscillates between 3G and H
Any advice?
Many thanks,
Nick
Are you rooted? The solution is disabling fast dormancy on HTC One. New HTC devices enables fast dormancy by default which affects & weakens signal strength on networks that doesn't support it yet. If not I am not aware of any ways to disable it without root yet. I'll update you if I find one.
On UK almost all networks do support fast dormancy already except for Three UK so that maybe the reason why it's enabled by default in the US however I am not aware of the implementation of network carriers there sorry.

Thanks for the advice!!!
No I am not rooted - what will I lose if I root it? Do you know of a link to a simple thread with rooting instructions and how to disable the fast dormancy? I am not super experienced with Android yet
Does anyone know whether ATT supports fast dormancy of not?
Also, I have been led to believe that the One supports a number of carrier frequencies, but they only enable those for the specific region it is sold in. Do you know if there is a way to enable the other frequencies? Or is this just an unfounded rumor? Also, do you know if there is a way to check which LTE band the phone I have is equipped with - Not an on-line reference, but a way to find it on the phone?
Many thanks!!
Your warranty if you mess something in the software's side like bricking your phone & OTA updates. But you'll be able to update anyways just by directly flashing on the phone.
Anyways here's a noob proof app to rooting. Please do some research first before going so you'll not mess this up.

And... No. AT&T doesn't support fast dormancy.

Check this regarding what is Fast Dormancy and tell us if it works(probably NOT (it works only to samsung phones) but it is easy to try) http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/674208-fast-dormancy-in-nutshell.html
"To turn FD on/off enter *#9900# in the dialler to get into the SysDump screen then select the Fast Dormancy option"
You mind sharing the link if they have stock? Good luck with the signal issue.

I had a friend with an international GS2 with the same problem. Constantly bounced from HSPA+ to 3G to EDGE to no signal. I'm 99% sure that the issue is network settings, you likely need to check SIM card, data plan provisioning, APNs, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion... As soon as I enter the code, I get an error, so I am unable to even get to the SysDump

Hey, thanks - Do you know what settings I should use? I have an LTE provisioned SIM card...I assume that should be ok, since the phone is LTE enabled, just wrong bands? I have tried with Auto LTE on and of - I currently have it on GSM/WCDMA - it has been working better the past day, but it is still not right..
The SIM works perfectly in the Note 2, Optimus G etc. So I am wondering whether I need to look at the APN or something like that, but I do not know what the best settings should be. Anyone have this info?
Many thanks,
Nick

APN shouldn't affect your mobile signal reception. It's just made for cellular data profiling. So you are able to connect to the internet.
How about try setting your network selection mode to manual and just select the top most usable network there?
Interesting... I am in Korea right now and have great signal... no issues at all. However, my data indicator is still bouncing between H and 3G, so that is very strange...
Despite the indicated low signal and bouncing data connection type indicator, the phone is working well, have not dropped a call recently and excellent phone call quality...
NO LTE connection in Korea though.. I assume that is probably due to ATT not having a LTE roaming data service agreement here? I believe my phone has at least one LTE band that it supported here.
Have fun..
Nick
I think u should talk to att people may be they can help? With the signal issue or the data connection issues!
Please let us know once u figure it out

The VoLTE provisioned flag is turned on. I checked it by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
The problem lies in the Cellular Network settings menu. There is no option to enable enhanced 4G LTE services.
The network I'm using supports only VoLTE calls (Reliance jio, India).
I even tried turning the VoLTE provisioned flag off and then on again but it just isn't responding. It always "stays on" no matter how much I click (i.e., it always says "TURN OFF VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG" no matter what)
What could be the problem here and how do I solve it?
same issue here and im also waiting for the fix
What exactly are you guys trying to achieve? Native VoLTE support? That won't happen unless Motorola implements its on a firmware level though a patch like they did for the Moto X Play, which they never will.
Even if they could do it quite easily Lenovo will never release a feature enhancing patch for Moto X Gen 1, a phone manufactured while Motorola was a Google company.
As far as Lenovo is concerned the Gen 1 X is dead and done with, planned obsolescence at its best.
So stick to the Jio4GVoice app, it more than does the job.
Hello,
Have/use someone VoLTE/VoWifi on Nokia 8? I have no function to enable this option Mobile Networks or in another place. How do you enable this options?
Thanks

Just in case you do not know it, the carrier that you use, need to support it in general, and the carrier also have to decide that they want to support on that phone model.

Is the menu inaccessible/hidden entirely without carrier support? I can find the shortcut to "Enhanced 4G LTE" by searching the settings menu, but when I try to follow it I end up with the normal network settings (without the Enhanced 4G LTE option)
My phone is the TA-1004 version

*#*#4636#*#* key combo will get you access to enable VOLTE/Video calling over WIFI.
Be careful of what you change.
Hello,
Thanks for sharing that I fo, I know that secret code but don't stay on VoLTE, seems as carrier have to enable that service on sim card, and they make available this services only on Samsung S8, Samsung S8+ and Xiaomi MI6. They are still on test with VoLTE
I think it depend on carrier.
I have two carrier, one doesn't have VoLTE and another have
In Cellular network settings, you can see one have "Enahnced 4G LTE Mode", but another not.

if so, how do i change it back is it possible to reset thoses settings
FYI: The official Oreo beta build enabled Enhanced LTE in my case (my provider is Telenor DK).
Needs to be carrier enabled
Hi, I was wondering if WiFi calling is something that I can enable or do I have to get in touch with Motorola or my network provider (3 three UK)? I used to have it on my older phone (honor play) without having to change settings. It's the same network and same SIM.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
You can turn it on in the expand settings of mobilnetwork.

I dont have that option
EE only
I have found out that it is only available on EE (UK) even though I had it on my old honor play,
must be an exclusivity with them or something,
kinda sucks but nothing I can do
Hello,
I have also Moto G7 plus and Vodafone CZ. Vodafone CZ supports WiFi calling but for the phones with their firmware. Since they have never sold this phone I can't get their firmware (because it doesn't exist) to activate WiFi calling. Is there any workaround on how to do it, please?
Thank you!
You can try:
Dial *# *#4636# *# * -- >Phone Information --> switch on 'WiFi Calling Provisioning'
This will more likely be greyed out if your carrier doesnt specifically offer/support the device your on. My carrier (Bell Canada) supports wifi calling, however ONLY on devices they sell, not brought into their network. So for me I can't enable it as they only support the G7 Play, not the plus. I called my carrier support and there was nothing they could do to force provisioning on there end, but may vary carrier to carrier. Its a pretty rediculous exclusivity thing, gives them a way to try and force your hand into buying a carrier specific device.
I have got the same when I dial *# *#4636# *# *. I can' turn it on Carrier said they can't help me.
Edit: for some reason I can't insert an image.
Hello,
I have the XQ-AT52 in Canada and using it on Fido and works on their LTE network just fine, but I do not get the VoLTE nor Wifi calling options to allow me to enable them. Anyone know if its possible to get them enabled? If so, how?
good question...i'm thinking about the same issue for German provider but befor ordering it 0_o
You should
dial *#*#4636#*#*
choose Phone information.
click " Phone Information"
If your provider support Volte, you should see switchable "VOLTE Provisioned"
Switch it on and Restart the phone and you are done
ps: my provider doesn't not support Volte and my option is not switchable

My provider does support VoLTE and wifi callling, and I have those capability on my old phone, Huawei Mate 20 Pro. So it looks like the hardware or software of the XQ-AT52 does not allow VoLTE to be turned on, atleast in Canada.
