[Q] HTC One Signal (Data, Talk AND Text) Issues

Hi gents,
So i've been rocking my HTC one a few months now. I adore the phone but i've had some issues with it since I bought it. Occasionally, the phone will drop all signal and then a few seconds later get it back. Annoying when trying to use data or google maps but for the most part harmless. However as time went on this got more frequent, and the signal loss began to last longer even in areas where I knew I had solid signal.
Now, it's terrible. My phone shows having 3g/4g signals and can access data, although it does still have the intermittent drop issues. However, for the past 2 days my phone has been unable to make or receive calls/texts, even when the phone shows it has signal. Sprint says nothing on their end is wrong and has "Refreshed" something or other and told me to reboot my phone. Problem persists and they say there's nothing they can do to fix it.
So I come to you guys. Any advice for my phone woes?
Thanks,
K.

Can they not replace it in warranty?

Have you tried updating the PRL? This is what Verizon and Sprint used to tell customers who were having problems getting service in well-covered areas.
Another thing to check is the APN. Some carriers (for example AT&T which is who I use) have several different APN's listed, maybe your device somehow switched to an APN that doesn't serve your area?

Galaxy Note 5 4G data heating issue

Hi XDA team,
I have this phone for about 3 months now and it's been great for me overall. However starting last week, I started to experience a heating problem. Whenever I'm on data and on 4G connection, my phone heats up crazy, about 43° Celsius and I did not wait to find out how high it can get. This is without doing anything!
So I can say I'm not that really new when it comes to troubleshooting Android phones, I had my fair share of bricking my older phones due to tweaking, rooting, etc. However my Note5 is not rooted, dual sim version but I only use 1 sim.
I already suspected an app that might be causing it, but gsam can't really see what the suspect was (Now I realized, troubleshooting a non rooted phone is harder) so I want to safe mode. Now all my 3rd party eliminated, after turning my 4G on and locked the phone, it still heated. :crying:
So, I tried putting it on 2G or 3G and my phone does not heat up the way it does when it's on 4G, it only comes close to around 36° and this is normal while browsing.
It never did this until just last week, what are your thoughts?
I'm in the Philippines and I'm a Globe user, anyone experiencing the same? Does it have to do with the signal? Screenshot attached about my firmware.

If this is the signal strength then the phone will behave in this manner. Try going to a location with full signal and see if the same issue persists then give it to a service center and ask then reload the firmware.

Happening to me right now. My Note 5 started heating up last monday everytime I use the 4g connection. I think it's not the signal strenght in the area since I've been using 4g/LTE since I got my phone last Dec.
I noticed that I was having a hard time connecting to 4g last Monday (August 22) then my phone started to overheat everytime I connect to a 4g signal. I tried formatting my phone then not install anything but still, it heats up.
I hope someone can help us with this.
I'm also from the Philippines, by the way.

its a known issue among users here....especially after upgrading to MM. It happened to me. If you still have warranty, you can bring it to Samsung Service Centers and based on the similar experiences of others, they will replace your unit with a new one.
Check the FB page "[Temp Group] Galaxy Note5 N9208 overheat and battery issue"

Does anyone tried reverting back to lollipop? Does it fix the issue? thanks

Nexus 6 LTE connecting issues... strange!

My rooted Nexus 6 and my sons stock Nexus 6 are having a lot of trouble connecting to LTE on Tmobile. I have to go to APNs, reset to default and reboot every hour or so. I did no changes to my phone.
Apparently, this is happening on other networks too.
Can anyone shed light on this? Some back door google update.
tMobile says no changes on their end. Also, other carriers are having this issue, ONLY Nexus 6.
PS - apparently , this has happened before too

flash a different radio/modem.

Same here. Just spoke to T-MOBILE and rep said it is an issue with a lot Nexus 6 users. They kicked me off the network and it work for a bit but I'm still losing data. She said their tech department is working with Google for a fix.
Fyi...Flash 3 other radio's and it doesn't make a difference.
Edit: change all to a lot

I got the same answer.
I did flash the 5.32 and 5.34 modems. No dice.
Then I tried Developer preview 5.39. It's been working for 15 minutes, which is a long time since the issue cropped up.
What a pain!

Not sure if my issue is the same, but for the last couple days Textra fails to send a text unless I reboot. Even a reply to a just received text fails. I have tried a couple different radios but neither has helped. I am also on a T-Mobile Nexus 6 stock rooted with the August 6.0.1 security update.

That is probably the same issue. I can receive texts, but can't send without a reboot.
So far.. the 5.39 developer modem has kept connection for an hour. Which is good considering how intermittent it was.
What really blows is that my phone and service was perfect until this event.
Even in the mountains of the Philippines last year, my phone worked perfect.

You may try dp5 my WiFi and Mobil got a lot better, but I'm not on t mobil. Flashing only the radio is maybe not enough, if you are on stock anyway you have nothing to loose

Check out Reddit for the growing thread on this issue. Happening with Nexus 6 users on different carriers around the world. Some GPS connected apps like Pokemon Go & Lyft will bork LTE connectivity. Probably a Google play services issue. Will be using my OnePlus one today just in case.

Interesting.. I hit the speedtest app right after a reboot to check, and it immediately borked my connection several times in a row. I like your theory..

You guys have a lot of company... > http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/08/04/some-nexus-6-owners-report-data-outages-on-t-mobile/

I'm running stock N6, not rooted; bootloader locked; on T-Mo. While on WiFi, with WiFi calling enabled, I would get out of range of WiFi and cel data would not return without full reboot. If I disable WiFi calling before leaving WiFi service, cel data flipped as normal. I tested again with manual WiFi disable and if WiFi calling was on before the cut out, cel data never flipped on.
[Edit] I did notice though that when it does flip like it's supposed to, I'm connected at 3G. LTE doesn't kick on.

Stated what T-Mobile told me.

Ok, I did flash the beta radio 5.39.
It might be coincidence, but my phone has a solid connection for three hours now.
Hopefully they fixed it on their end.

I am not seeing this on my N6. Still on 5.1.1 LVY48H.

what radio can work on 5.1
Cause i have flyme rom, but have calls issue, ian not receiving any call. The other end saids it rings but my phone does not ring at all on calls.

It seems to be affecting some people, but not others. It also doesn't seem to be related to ROM, carrier, kernel, or radio versions. There are people all over the world on different carriers having the problem.
The symptoms I see are that I can't connect to any type of cellular data. Voice and SMS seem to work though. WiFi data works fine. GPS use seems to make it more likely to fail. Speedtest.net, Pokemon Go, Ingress, and Google Maps have been used to reproduce it.
The only thing I've found that seems to help is to freeze "Google Connectivity Services" using Titanium Backup. You might also try uninstalling updates, though it will just re-install. If it is related to that, it would make sense as the rollout of updates via Play Store are staged, so people would get the update at different times. I froze it about 4 hours ago and data has been solid with GPS use, LTE and HSPA tested. I also tested switching between WiFi and Cellular without issues on Tmobile-US. That's the only SIM I have, so I can't test other services. I couldn't seem to get a data connection for more than a few minutes before, so it's a huge improvement in my case.

T-Mobile acknowledges the issue. The one universal is that it's with the N6, not with other phones. There are a bunch of carriers around the world that are having the problem.
When mine breaks, SMS fails. The only mobile connectivity available to me is phone calls.
The Reddit thread mentioned above has people saying that disabling Location Services works. Far from ideal over time, but if it's true, it's something. I tried that. We'll see how it goes. Freezing Google Connectivity Services is nice, if it works without introducing other problems, because it would allow us to keep using whatever connectivity we like without data breaking.
I had a Bluetooth connectivity problem a year or more ago that surfaced literally out of nowhere and on every device I tested, a little more than ten of them. This was independent of ROM, root status, device, anything. The feature in question worked on every Android device we had tried one day (and for more than a year prior) and failed on every one the next. Sounds crazy, but it's what happened. Google barely paid attention to my bug reports and ran me in circles when they did. Never got fixed.
I trust this matter will.

Both my nexus6s are doing this with heavy GPS aps, data will shut down.

I've had GCS frozen for a long time, running 5.39 radio & it happened to me. There is definitely something occurring substantially with our devices/network be it software or hardware based. Apparently T-Mobile & Google are working on it but the fix might not come until next week. I'll probably install latest N preview when I get home.

Weird issue with no data while making phone calls

Hell of a story, I apologize in advance for the length, but maybe it'll be intriguing to some of you. Pure Nexus rom as of i think april 23rd?
I have a Nexus 6 that I bought 2 years ago in April on Verizon (purchased from verizon). My contract ran out April 27th, went to AT&T with my girlfriend because I was going to get on her plan to save money on our phone bills. Ported over the number to my N6 fine. But I noticed I only got an H+ symbol, no LTE. I asked the guy if that was normal, he said yes. I got data and could make calls so I figured it was fine. Did some speed tests, 2 mb/down at best. My GF was getting 15-20 in the same spot on her Galaxy S7.
Long part of this story short, the tech they put me on the phone with said it was due to it being a Verizon variant and was not capable of full LTE speeds on AT&T. I went to the Verizon store and asked if they could put me back under Verizon after explaining the problem. He said sure, and then worked up pricing to have my GF switch to Verizon with me instead, and to get a Pixel XL.
So far so good, they had to do a temporary number for me because there's issues porting a number twice in a 24 hour span, but they cleared it up, got my real number ported, happy camper, good speeds. Except this one issue.
Now when I'm on the phone (actual phone call), my data drops. The LTE signal actually disappears, and nothing displays except signal bars. As soon as the phone call is over, it comes back. I never had the problem before this whole back and forth mess. I can't seem to figure out any options to make it not do this. I was thinking about reflashing my rom in case that would help, maybe something got messed up in the switch back and forth to GSM and then back to CDMA?

I'm already unlocked, rooted, TWRP'd and using the PureNexus that came out end of april (I haven't flashed the one in may yet). I believe I'm also currently using the latest radio and latest bootloader.
Edit - I actually was not on the most recent radio, but I did flash that, no change.

The volte provisioned flag turned on in the testing menu? I have a setting for enhanced 4g lte mode in my settings, wireless networks/more/cellular networks settings. Did they remove the advanced calling from your account? Just throwing some things out there.

In others countries we don't get the same bands management, then I can't say anything about LTE.
But I'm on PureNexus 7.1.1 and I get the same "issue" about network droppin when calling. When the call starts, my phone turns into don't disturb-mode and recover the network only when the phone call ends.. It doesn't really cut my network connection, but it looks like. It may be rom settings.
However I don't care as long as everything works good, it's just an icon. (how a phone call can be done while network is shutted off ^^)
When I was on the stock ROM, this autumn, 7.1 version of Android did the same thing, loosing data connection while being still connected to the network (but at anytime not just phonecalls). Finding it back some minutes later. That was fixed with 7.1.1. Stock.
Hope that might help you (looks not ) if it's the same problem. May be give an eye to the Rom settings..
Have you tried if your device do the same thing with an another Rom ? (stock for example)

I knew something looked like it was missing. I don't have any enhanced 4g LTE settings in that section. Normally there's a tick box to turn it on there. It's missing. Is that due to them not having it turned on in my account?
Also for everyone else, this problem only started when I tried the whole at&t switch. I was on this rom when I switched and it worked fine before then. I didn't factory reset since then though, wondering if I need to try that.

The tech is definitely wrong; since it's a Nexus 6 (presumably XT1103) it has all the possible LTE bands used in the US. There should not have been any issue when switching. I had something similar happen to me, when I just switched to verizon and did the "reset network settings" button, it screwed up my phone so I couldn't use LTE period, I had to reflash the modem in order to fix it. I know you already said you reflashed the modem, but I'm not sure what to suggest. There is absolutely nothing physically wrong or incapable about your phone, just some config got screwed up somewhere along the way. I'd just try to flash as many things as you're comfortable with without losing your userdata. Like modem, bootloader, etc. until your data comes back. If nothing else, press the network settings reset button and flash the latest modem. Make sure your twrp is up to date as well.

I think i'm going to reflash my rom today. I did the modem, twrp is up to date, bootloader is fine. I did the reset network settings (I was sure that was going to fix it, no dice). So I'm going to reflash the rom today and see if that fixes it. After that I have no idea what is left to try other than reverting to stock, which I'd like to avoid.

Yes, it is a feature that needs to be added to your account. Go online and check their website or go into the hidden menu and activate it. If it sticks, it's on your account.
I tried the wifi and video calling flags and they didn't stick. Go figure... C'MON big red...

I got in, VoLTE was not ticked. I ticked it. I got the setting for it then in settings. But making a phone call gave me an error. I rebooted, and it's not ticked now. So does that mean I need to call Verizon to have them flag my account?

You need to add it in your account then. Easy enough to do online. You want to, "manage features."

Question Mobile Data cycling with "No Service"

I don't know how I ended up letting this issue last for so long but it has been happening for a good 3-4 months. It might have been after a firmware update, it might not. But at this point it's driving me coco-nuts.
Phone: Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (SM-G998B/DS), using an e-sim.
Whenever I try to "actively" use my phone on cellular data (e.g. opening the Youtube app), without fail I will lose all connectivity and the "No Service" logo will show in the status bar. It takes 10-30secons to cycle back to having service, rinse, repeat. I get 2-3 seconds of working cellular data each cycle.
This doesn't happen if I don't try to "actively" use data. The phone holds service, I'll even receive Whatsapp Calls with no problem so long as I don't initiate them.
I've tried resetting network settings. I've also tried switching Network mode from "5G/4G/3G/2G (auto connect)" to the other options.
Any ideas?

It's likely a problem with your e-sim data plan. Have you tried using a normal sim?

I should've mentioned I tested it with a plastic sim from a different operator and the issue remained.

I had this same issue since Jan. A few S21U phones have it and it seems to be some kind of software + hardware issue that affects a small portion of the phones.
The OneUI 4.1 update should fix it. have you got this on your phone yet? If not you should see it soon.

Until you have the update, if you force your phone to 3G (assuming 3G isn't shut off where you are) then you might be able to get by. Mine worked fine on 3g (of course it's slow).

I had tried googling the issue using many, many keywords and was getting stumped with unrelated results.
Your "S21 Ultra reception fail" youtube video is basically exactly what was happening on my phone, albeit a bit faster to recover from the no service status.
And...... I basically got the notification for the OneUI 4.1 update around the same time I was notified of your response. The issue has disappeared altogether.
Thank you for bringing it up with the techs at Samsung. Don't know how long I could've held on to the device in this state.
As a side note to anyone reading this in the future, there was an update to the "Private Compute Services" app available as soon as the phone reboot from the OneUI 4.1 update. The 24th of March patch notes claim "operating system improvements and capabilities. Bug fixes and various optimizations.". That could also have been the fix.
Cheers.
