^^ the issue here is with fast dormancy. HTC by default utilizes fast dormancy while sony handsets don't use them at all. I'm not sure if there's a way to disable fast dormancy on HTC phones without rooting.

Fast dormancy when enabled save power on the cell radio of your phone. But your network carrier should support that also else you would have lesser signal on your phone.

When disabled cell radio of your phone should ramp up power consumption in exchange of having better signal(unless your network operatror supports fast dormancy).

Please confirm that you have tested this on multiple Ones. It may be that this is an isolated issue.

AW: Poor signal reception

Wifi is the best i had do far. Better than my one x plus and that was great already.
[One (M7) General] vicedens2002:
Sorry to hijack this thread.. saw people comparing the one and xperia Z. am looking for a phone. Narrowed down to ONE and the xperia ZL.. I already own a htc ( desire hd).. I needed a change from the htc sense UI. Is the UI completly different from sense 4? :confused:
[One (M7) General] :
No I did not test another HTC One but one of the store staff had one but could not test as he is not on 4g. Yes this could be an isolated incident but another poster above experienced something similar. Also there is a video online showing worse 3g coverage than another device in same conditions.

WiFi as stated previously is excellent and generally it is one of the best (if not the best smartphone) currently.

thanks for the technical info above. It was insightful and a potential area to explore.

Not that I have a particular preference (or a fan boy) of a particular brand but over the years I have never experienced bad signal reception or radios from the older manufacturers; the likes of Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and Siemens. It's just my observation that these companies mastered the basics especially Motorola and call quality.

Anyhow I will try to find that online video.
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
Not completely different, it's more near to AOSP, but still has sense features. Why not watch a software review on YouTube?
[One (M7) General] :
If you look at this video, the reviewer compares the One to the XZ. Notice the difference between signal reception on both!

He is using the 3 Network in both phones at the same time.

I'm not going to get into which phone to buy and people getting defensive and all that silliness, The Htc One is an amazing device there is no question. Also the photo editing software is unmatched! However, there are advantages to other brands. I always require the very best signal reception and I am willing to compromise other features for this. This may not be the priority of others..This is why choice is good!

Perhaps there can be a software fix later, but in my case I could not wait.

Anyhow here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kzW7G07WFc
[One (M7) General] :
Sorry, this video is the 3g only browsing comparison. The last video I posted was Wifi (which also showed a weaker mobile signal on the HTC).

[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Hopefully Milton Keynes will be 4G enabled around the end of march/april so I can see what 4G reception is like on my HTC One if this thread is still on going by then.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
I have a Three SIM in my One. Of course Three will not have LTE until towards the end of the year.

However, I was curious about the menu options.

I see

GSM only

GSM/WCDMA

Nothing else. I didn't think the menu system would lock-down what you can/cannot see depending on the SIM/service plan? But I see mentions in this thread about having an LTE option as well which I don't have!
[One (M7) General] deagleone:
AW: Poor signal reception

Wifi energy mode deactivated on ONE?

one'ed....
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:
The One has excellent signal reception, one of the best on phones out there! :)

I get a signal when iPhone users or Samsung Users or older HTC devices don't .. at that is the case with wifi and cellular (same provider)
[One (M7) General] :
As stated in the thread earlier, this is mostly to do with LTE in poor signal areas where other devices perform noticeably better.

I think there are a few factors that can influence this. For example in the 2 videos I posted earlier, you can clearly see the inconstancy in the HTC to maintain the signal while on the other phone it is mostly stable with little or no fluctuations. That was on 3g.

It could also depend on the band being used. For example the LTE in the UK on EE is 1800 Mhz. I do not know how well it performs on the other bands. In the old days, GSM 900 signal reception performed noticeably better than GSM 1800. Also specific phone brands were better performing on 1800. Generally speaking I remember Nokia's and Ericsson's performing better on 1800 than other brands.

It would be interesting to know if they test signal reliability on all bands. I think 3g was quite stable as mostly it was on 2100 and 900 (globally speaking) where we seem to have many more bands on LTE. I have little knowledge on the technical/engineering aspects and, only feedback my observation as an end user.

If anyone has any technical knowledge of how exactly this works, I'd love to know (if they can explain it for a beginner) :cowboy:
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Would like to hear the opinion of HTC One owners about this also.

By the way where did you get yours?
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
The lower the frequency the better it penetrates through walls and other obstacles. Therefore 900Mhz will gain there. Also, if I recall correctly the permitted output power of base stations at 900MHz was considerably higher than 1800Mhz. So there is a second gain there.

In the case of LTE, in the UK, there is also the 2600MHz band being used, which I have strong concerns about its viability. I think Three for example, will have a mix of 1800MHz that they bought from T-Mobile/Three and also the new 2600Mhz one.

So Vodafone and Cellnet (O2) didn't need to use as many base stations as Orange/One-2-One(T-mobile) to cover the same area. However more base stations did generally mean faster more consistent data throughput. So it wasn't completely one-sided.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

P4U sim-free and I am on Three. I am just a bit puzzled by all this talk about being able to disable LTE. If we are talking about the menu option where it has GSM only and GSM/WCDMA and others have a third option...then currently I am missing it!

Also, just a FYI. HTC phones do not display all 3 options, 3G, H and H+ separately. They just display 3G and H. Or at least thats what my phone is doing and I have been seeing data speeds over 14Megs. When the phone is not doing much data activity it will drop to 3G indication even if HSDPA is available and working. This is for battery saving. As soon as you start hammering the data, it will step-up again.
[One (M7) General] :
Thanks for that. So would this advantage also apply in the same way on LTE? So EE operates LTE on 1800 and Vodafone (I think) will be on 800, what are the advantages/disadvantages of those bands if you know?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
I think the 800 band is more penetrating than the 1800 band.
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Anyone?
[One (M7) General] drspikes:
Naturally. Lower frequency bands have better penetration but less capacity.
[One (M7) General] ponts:
Would like to know the city and carrier too. I'm planning on running the euro version in Edmonton on rogers or bell. 2600 lte band is operational here.
[One (M7) General] :
According to this article LTE 1800 should lead as the global band of LTE.

This is very interesting as similar to the 90's with GSM and it's band variants.

I think this is the year of LTE global roll out and it would be unwise to not evaluate a devices LTE signal reception performance.

When the signal reception was good on my HTC One I had speeds faster than my home broadband! Nearly 30Mb on a mobile device!

That video just looks like the One has more bars to show the full range, reception is otherwise the same. Really though, RSRP and dBM values are needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Hey guys!

So once again I find my self asking for help.

So my phone decided to forget it's IMEI so I started following THIS guide.

The guide asked me to return to stock to somehow get the IMEI back.... so I followed THIS guide.

The problem is that after I flashed the phone I got stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy SII I9100" screen (where one gets the yellow triangle)

SO I thought to myself , meh it's a boot loop....so I followed some steps that had previously saved me.

But ever since the first flash I've not been able to access ANY sort of recovery, be it CWM or the normal android one.

I have access to download mode but that's it really....

Please help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you've got no recovery & the only option you've got is download mode, flash a stock rom. Then do a factory reset if you need to/assuming you get recovery back.

Then you can restore a backup/re-root your phone/flash whatever kernel or rom you want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Thank you for your quick reply.

Here's the thing. I got the stock rom from here and it's the first thing I flashed as a kernel yet it got stuck in the first screen.

I doubt i made a mistake here (because I checked with my phone´s "about" ) but Maybe I got the wrong version? (would it stop working if so?) .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Get one for your country/carrier from Samfirmware & try that (Be careful if it's 4.0.4 & don't do a wipe until after you've flashed a 'safe' kernel).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Success! I got recovery mode.....

(used Cf Root)

Now how do I go to stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you've got CWM, try flashing whatever kernel you were using before you started having problems (You haven't been using Rom Manager by chance, have you ?). If you still don't have any joy, try flashing whatever rom you were using in CWM.

If we're talking stock recovery but the phone still won't boot normally, still flash a stock rom in Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Nope, no ROM manager.... I had what seemed like a stock ROM , just with a different baseband to work in the UK (it's a mexican phone).

Anyways i'm back to square one..... I tried flashing the stock kernel that I looked for in Samfirmware (the mexican, just in case...) and it's still stuck in boot loop... and again I have no access to recovery...... tried flashing CF to no avail....

argh <.<
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You need to try flashing the entire stock rom in that case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
So it will be the same? or is there a different place to get the ENTIRE stock rom?

I got the one you mentioned from sammobile... will this include the phone / csc/ things?

by the way..... will it get out of the boot loop?

thanks for your patience...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Go to Samfirmware & search for an entire stock rom (which will have kernel, modem & CSC) for your country if there's an unbranded one, or get one specific to your carrier if there isn't unbranded.

Will it get you out of bootloop ? You'd think so, but without knowing exactly what caused your phone to throw a wobbly in the first place, it's hard to say definitively. But at the moment, you don't really have any other option given your phone won't boot normally & all you have is DL mode.

Edit - I've checked Samfirmware, there's 3 for Telcel; 2.3.6, 4.0.3 & 4.1.2. You can probably skip the GB one & choose either of the other two

And you're welcome ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Ok, finally finished the download.

I'm soon to flash and I have a dumb question....

should I unpackage the file or flash it to the kernel as is? (its a.zip)

if I extract it it contains the .tar.md5 and SS_Dl.dll
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Extract the tar.md5, flash it in the PDA section of Odin. Delete the .dll
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Just before I break anything.... since this wasn't working just yet (and your explanation explains alot haha)

I got CWM again and I restored my previous mod /build whatever its called......

So I have a working device again. The question then is...... (and completely changing subject) IS there a way to resolve the no IMEI problem from this point?

I dail +#06# and get a blank imei thing.......

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Forget the code. Check your IMEI in settings/about phone. If it's not 0049-----, then you're fine. If it is & you don't have an EFS backup, there are a bunch of threads on here which claim to be able recover your IMEI; you need to read them (No idea whether these methods work as I've never had to use them & never will because I make EFS backups). Either that or service centre who can fix the IMEI.

Edit -Also, I'm, rather confused. You claim you have nothing but download mode, yet all of a sudden have CWM working ? Sounds like you've left a lot of details/a lot of what you've been doing out. Bit of a waste of my time answering your posts in the end really.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Lol I guess im screwed haha:

IMEI: Unknown

IMEI SV: unknown

Thank you for your help and patience! I'll see what I find!

My problems with this version: frequent LAG, freeze when i open any app. The only way for restart android is remove the battery. Ah yes! the boot takes too long to start. Too long!!

Well, i had before this version Quarx version (4.1.1), and i only wiped data and flashed above it.

Then i think: I'll back to stock rom.

Following instructions, i back to retail stock android, because i did not want more problems. After this, i flashed the JB SISTER.

This time, freeze are less frequent but, when i open two or more apps, the system freeze fully, then i remove battery and it all starts again. The problem of boot takes too long continues.

I wonder if anything succeed solve this problem.
