Antenna issues? - T-Mobile HTC One (M9)

I've got an HTC One M9, and an LG gPad 8.3 LTE. Both from T-mobile.
I'm also a commercial trucker, so I tend to go I to places with poor coverage. However, there are many occasions when my tablet is on a GOOD LTE connection, as in full signal, while my phone is either in 2G, or sometimes doesn't even have service at all. Sometimes restarting the radio helps (turning airplane mode on and then off) but not always.
Is this normal? Do I have a lemon?

Forgot to add (why can't I edit from the XDA app BTW?) on the latest MM OTA from TMo.

[Q] Problems with my unlocked Bell HD7 (t9295) on AT&T

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...
Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.
I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance

Since it runs on the Bell firmware you must enable the data roaming. In the first pic that you posted it looks like you have it off. Give it a try and report.

can you post the "More Info" result ???
try downloading "connection setup" from the marketplace in the htc apps section, run it and you should be good to go.
B"H
Seems silly, but did you actually setup your APNs?
Not sure I saw that in the pics.
Good Luck,
Dovid

Ahh... 4G again

Look at these horrible speeds i was dealing with while working out of town in the east tennessee mountains....

Looks like you were on 3G. What's the problem? You won't get LTE in the mountains right now.
thats his point He's back IN a 4G service area and he's rejoicing.

that's an "ahh...." of relief in the title, not an "ahhh!" like frustration from getting c**kblocked . I was confused at first too haha
4G is a great thing on these phones..for me..being an RDS--remote desktop support agent..works great and really quick going back n forth..but ohh man where in GB and or 2.2.3 for using FFC
4G in Houston!
I tried my revo in Houston today and I was truly impressed by the speeds. Avg DL/UL was 6 M/sec and the Netflix streaming was smooth as can be given hardware limitations. When is someone going to step up and provide a true high end video package like Coreplayer on my previous Win Mo phone?
4g up and running in worcester county, ma...... And it's great!!z!

Boo for all of you!!! I have to go to work to see 4G speeds. Not available within 30 miles of my house, and seeings how we were one of the last markets to see 3G, I'm guessing I may get 4G at my house by end of 2013.

Only one connection is allowed when roaming on a GSM network

I get this message whenever I turn wifi tethering on. Is there any way to remive this annoying message?
How does the phone know I'm roaming and is there any way to make the phone think I'm not, cause the data connection also shows GSM instead of 3G cause it knows I'm outside us

[Q] Signal Issue

Really weird story.. This all started Sunday morning when I left for work.. I noticed that I was only pulling 3g, shrugged it off and went on about my day. It stayed solely on 3G all day Sunday, and hasn't connected to LTE once, with the one exception being while I was in a Sprint store, trying to resolve the issue, but of course they have their own repeaters.. As soon as I had left the store, I dropped back down to 3G. While I was in the store, they mentioned that they had updated the tower nearest my house to 800 mhz, which is supposed to be better for building penetration, on Thursday of last week.. The manager tried telling me that the tower will suffer weaker signal until other area towers are upgraded.. Has anyone else heard of this? I have tried updating PRL, profile, using the ## command, and nothing will give me 4G, and it's really damn frustrating!
sounds like another Sprint excuse; I couldnt take them anymore and dumped them for T-Mo, which works great in Chicago land..
Surprisingly enough, I received 4G about an hour after posting this.. Curiosity got the best of me, and I ran a speed test

I have NEVER pulled speeds like that on Sprint, thought it was kind of awesome actually lol.. There may be hope for us yet!
Decent speeds for Sprint. Speaking of speeds, compare my WiFi to my 4g...

With you on that one. This phone has to have one of the worst sleep battery drain I've seen. Seems like an unfinished product with unpolished crappy software
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Agreed
I'm surprised there has been no software update with the gs7 series there were quick updates
Looks like the same bug from gs6 and gs7 are still present
Android os usage went down after I disabled wifi calling rather set it tp prefer cellular
LOL. Im a S7E user and I came here to read up on the new Note before I blew an Upgrade on Demand on it. The first thread I click on and it looks like the same battery problem still plagues it to this day. If you all are looking for a fix then I'm sure the S7 fix I posted a few months back will work. You can look throug my profile to find it. It should fix the "stay awake" issue.

I have no problem on mine, about 4% drain during 7 hr sleep. Once I disable programs I don't use I'm hoping for 2% drain, the same I'm getting on my old phone. I do manually kill programs I don't use often and I don't have any sync, auto updates etc. so that helps.
