I was down at Eastern Market in downtown Detroit over the weekend. Looked at my phone and surprised to be on lte but only with one bar. I did a quick speed test and while on the epc apn I got 20Mbps. Switched over to the fast apn and only got 11Mbps. Both apns were able to get lte, but with only 1 bar where ever I walked.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] hypersonicx:
I hate to say this, but I think the HTC One does have a weaker antenna. This seems to be the case with all full metal phones LOL "iphone had problems also"

From my tests, LTE was just turned on here in Nashville TN today. Its just about blankets the whole area. I was driving around today and did speeds through out the city as I did my running around.

While I was out and about The most bars I was able to get was 2 bars. I do understand that TMobile is still in the process of setting up the towers ect.

The reason I say the HTC One has a weaker antenna because at my apartment, I am only able to get LTE in about 2 areas of my whole apartment and my signal shows 1 bar of LTE. Soon as I walk away or put my phone in motion in other words if the phone is in my hand, the signal drops down to 4G. If I just lay it there on my desk I get 1 bar LTE.

The interesting part is that on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I can walk around my whole apartment and get 1 bar LTE everywhere in my apartment. The signal doesnt drop or anything. The N2 also gets 2 bars if Im outside such as walking to mailbox ect... HTC One had 1 bar LTE in this whole area until I get back on the main roads then the HTC One gets 2 bars again.

Long story short, Note 2 gets a stronger signal then my HTC One did. I suspect it has something to do with the metal housing of the HTC One.

Side note, I did try flashing different radios .24 seemed to be the most stable on my end. I was using the ARHD 10.3 for my rom of choice.

This is with one bar.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] I Am Marino:
I tend to think LTE is still being established in the newer markets which could explain some issues and it seems universally the One has a weird way it displays LTE signal.

I saw LTE icon for the first time in south Atlanta. But it didnt stay for long. Less than 1 minute a few times. How do I make it stick?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] srsly:
I'm in Seattle and I guess we had LTE lit up for good a week or two ago. When I have LTE coverage it's fast as hell even with one or two bars. One thing I did notice was if I'm wavering between picking up LTE or going back to 4g all of my connection goes to crap. It will say it's on LTE, I won't have a connection at all, then shortly after it will drop to 4g and be fine.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Shane_pcs:
I have compared the actual RF signal levels on the HTC one to the Samsung Note II and the Galaxy S4 and they are all similar in dBm.

So some clarification of the LTE signal display. I've done some testing and the bar breakdown for LTE on the HTC One is very simple.

>-70dBM is 5 bars

between -70dBm and -80dBm is 4 bars

between -80dBm and >-90dBm is 3 bars

between -90dBm and >-100dBm is 2 bars

between -100dBm and >-110dBm is 1 bar

It may go even lower at one bar, I don't have a very low signal location to test. I do however know that the minimum required signal to stay on LTE is -124 dBm where UMTS was -118dBm.

-100 dBm in LTE is a very usable level resulting in 20mbps down and 10mbps up, this was not near the case in UMTS. I contend that the "# of bars" displayed for LTE is almost unusable as it doesn't give a clear indication of signal quality, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Worry more about your throughput results.

It really doesn't have great reception of any kind. Compared to my fiances iPhone 5 it sucks in this department. I also have to keep that best WiFi signal switch on and it eats battery
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] JesseMT4G:
Don't feel bad, you think moving a block away is something, when I had all the bands enabled it would switch from 4G to Edge bars within a few feet. It was insane. I have then since switched it to 4G only and constantly get 1-2 bars at about 5mbs. Enough for work. Thankfully I get amazing speeds at home.

Even hit LTE in Akron Ohio at 2 bars and was over 30 and 20. Crazy!

This is on my N2 though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rvdangel630:
I seen I had 2 bars so I did a test here's the result.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] wrxdrunkie:
I just picked up my HTC One from T-mobile and immediately noticed it seemed to get fewer bars on LTE than my Nexus 4!

Pretty weak IMO.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cmraymond:
I got one bar in Strongsville, oh. Speed test showed 27 down. I was amazed, can't wait till LTE is fully functional!! It won't let me paste a Screenshot_2013-06-18-21-59-25.png.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] 220boi:
Any time I get more than 2 bars I pull about 30 down on lte in Dallas but that's not in too many places, but even tho my signal is low speeds are more than acceptable, just a little spotty

Oh yea I got that word -0.0 download on lte
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] IAmSixNine:
I get the same speeds on my Nexus 4 and HTC One even though the ONE Shows lower signal bars.

Im thinking that will get corrected with future software updates.

The EVO LTE was the same way.. Sucked on LTE when it first came out then HTC tweaked the radios and software till they got it right.

What matters are the end results. With 1-2 bars i still pull down 20-30 megs and upload is 10-20.. So im still happy.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Chaios:
Low quality here...

So I am in Utah valley here. I am getting 1 bar, with 4gLTE on my HTC One. It is maxing out at 4.50 Mbps and upload speed of .63. I am on custom ROM trickdroid. I have no idea whats wrong... but those speeds suck.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Shane_pcs:
Different handsets show bars different ways. The HTC one is very simple and underestimates the link quality. It is being worked on to get the handset vendors to move to a more standardized system for LTE signal display. Signal Strength in dBm is what you want to focus on, not bars.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
LTE speeds on HTC one are great, better than nexus. Problem is with it keeping LTE though, I can get 10mbps more in upload and Download at times, however it always switched between hspa and LTE when my nexus 4 would very rarely lose LTE. At my house, my gym, etc... Nexus would xispaly full LTE bars where HTC one displays 2 or 3 max. This is my second HTC One, same story on the first one. I tried new radio, different roms.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] lojak29:
Lets just get the facts straight!

For one the s4 is a Samsung ,being a Samsung right off the bat means it has a nice screen "l.e.d", a sleek design , and maybe a superior cam "so they say".

But since it's a Samsung it automaticaly has the worst and weakest radio of all phones besides iPhone .

Samsung doesn t get the greatest reception by far, they are known for poor radios ,HTC is far superior in there actual radio hardware!

From the epic to the vibrant to the s2 all were pathetic ,the s3 showed some life at least but Samsung has never addressed or admitted to having weak radios .When I say weak I mean where it's a weak area it's like 1 bar if that always on Samsung ....whereas htc pulls more bars than the s4 always .

Secondly to the Op it's not your phone man , it's the lte signal that's actually hit and miss ,everywhere in every state.. Tmobile lte hasn't really been out long ans it's not like there the best with throwing up extra towers for better coverage ,

When you I and others get lte data when we do it's good when it's there when it's gone it's gone, it's not the phones it's the coverage in my opinion.

I had both Devices twice over and id choose HTC all day long.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
I disagree to an extent. Yes, Samsung has deeply radios but s4 jeeps LTE almost as good as nexus does where htc one drops it in same areas. There us about 12dbm difference in same locations, at the same time. For example, my apartment I can get 2-4 bars of lte on nexus and about same on s4 with signal never dropping, HTC one has one bar and always switches to hspa. Gym I go to, LTE all over as well, nexus never drops it, same with s4. HTC one... Always on hspa, doesn't even connect. And no, not hardware issue, I have two of them. I love the phone, I love everything about it, but LTE thing kills me. Yes, speeds on htc one are superior on LTE, but when I have other phones that I can take all over Atlanta and never ever switch to hspa while HTC one always switching, it becomes an issue. I'm hoping it is a driver issue like it wad with previous HTC phones and gets addressed
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] MEGABYTEPR:
I agree with you 100% I have the same situation. My GS4 gets 2-3 bars on the same location HTC ONE goes 1-2 and iPhone 2-3 same as the GS4. In the exact same location the iPhone 5 can hit 18- 23 down, HTC 14- 10, and GS4 8-11. This is on the exact same place on the same spot on the desk. But like air said iPhone 5 & GS4 hold a longer LTE reception the One will drop to HSPA+ alot!. The same thing happens with the Sprint One, the only one that does not have that issue is my AT&T one. The AT&T HTC One has the same exact bars as my AT&T iPhone 5.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
Have you noticed how long it takes to get back on the LTE connection? It is as if they do not want you to use LTE on it at all lol. Even if I am in good LTE coverage area, if I was to get on the phone, once I am off, I am still stuck on HSPA+ for quite some time, every other phone I tried switches instant. And in most indoor places where I get 3-4 bars with LTE on Nexus and S4, I get one on HTC One with drops. When it does drop, it rarely ever acquires LTE unless you toggle mobile network.

Amazing device, I love just about everything. Display, Sense, build, speed.... but this whole LTE thing pretty much means that it has to go. HSPA+ is fast, but it isn't LTE. And knowing that every other device will connect places it can't, is a killer. Besides, when it bounces like that, if you are doing anything data related such as Youtube or Music streaming, you often need to restart the app or skip to the next song.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] lojak29:
I take back my statement about htc my first 1 wasn't too bad this time I am on inn in unlocked a_t_&_t model running t mobile firmware I do drop coverage a lot a goes from no bars to 2 g

It seems to take forever to get back to LTE but I am also in an area with one tower 4 square miles.

This is why it leaves me to believe it also has a lot to do with the number of tmobile cell towers .

T mobile lacks with the number of cell towers compared to sprint or at&t.

I still believe when coverage is good it's good and h_t_c is a superior phone

There is a problem with the device because I unlocked mine and used it with my AT&T sim and I get the same low LTE RF, my AT&T One does not have that issue. Hopefully the update that rolled out today will fix the problem.

HTC Stability and LTE update T-Mob

Well....

Couldn't be more unimpressed . Ran the update , used to get 1 bar of LTE now I can only get 4g, I'm about 2 blocks away from the tower, I have never seen speeds over 8-10 mbps down when on lte with 1 bar, this is in south Kansas City and within the ' excellent ' reception footprint on T-Mos coverage map. 4G reception used to be 4 bars, since the update I average 2 with a 4-6 mbps down speed.

Don't get me started on the One, I'm a big HTC fan but this is already my second phone, warranty replacement due to defective camera hardware, the ole half the image is out of focus issue, not to mention the original had a bulged case and didn't seal properly, top of the phone next to the headphone jack.

Moving on, the plastic antenna inserts stain incredibly easy, both phones suffer from the stock browser crashing to desktop occasionally, the ultra pixel camera is a rude joke on a phone this advanced, my 2 year old sensation shoots better pictures, this camera is so awful, it would be like buying a new BMW only they left out the windshield.

Pretty unhappy overall, I will wait for 4.2.2, but if the lte keeps sucking I'm gonna root and try to flash some other radios.

Sorry HTC, awesome phone, want to love it but just cant , nor can I recommend it.

You guys should try the 4.3 gpe edition radio that was just released.

I'm getting much better lte reception.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] FayezZ:
I clean installed 4.3 GPe on my One with the latest T-Mobile radio (and previously running 4.2.2 GPe) and I'm actually seeing far less reliable signal - which is weird, because I flashed the 4.3 version that did not include any radio updates. Anyone else seeing reduced LTE reception after 4.3?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] wwjdd44:
I flashed the radio, but did not see any real upgrade until I flashed the whole firmware package. I now get LTE inside my house, which never happened before, even with my Nexus 4.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] hd2joel:
I understand that you want good LTE who wouldn't. I personally get 37Mbps down & 20mbps up with good LTE Which is rare. But the good thing with T-Mobile is your fall back is HSPA+42 & as you said your speeds are plenty fast enough to do anything you would need to do on a phone. Besides just wanting what the phone is capable of, or wanting to claim aubsurd numbers like i just did, what is your NEED for more speed. Do you teather multiple devices or something? Or is it just principle based?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] daniel2744:
hello,

I converted my tmobile htc one into a google play edition a few days ago and for the most part i have no complaints. however, a few days ago i noticed that i wasnt able to pick up an lte signal. I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm on the southern california area(riverside) is the lte down or something. it was working perfectly a few days after i converted my one to the GPe so i don't think this could be a problem. I was thinking of running an RUU back to stock to try and see but i dont know what to do. Any ideas??
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ka1iban:
That's the same issue I'm having (though I've never really had good LTE on 4.3). Was thinking about RUU back to current T-Mobile stock to see if that changed anything
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] daniel2744:
i guess the issue i had resolved itself. it must of been the tower by my house or something because in parts of where i live i was able to get lte but it was my house and the surrounding area that wasn't working until a few days ago.

Denver here. LTE reception is pretty spotty all over the city. Also, despite my bars telling me otherwise, my reception has been good.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ka1iban:
Well, I'm stumped. I've updated by ZIP, RUU, flashed the stock recovery and flashed the OTA, used every radio I can find and I still get significantly worse LTE on 4.3. Currently reverted back to 4.2 'cause I can't handle the network disconnects and band switching

Strange case :|
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Dr. Hax:
On my One, I notice that T-Mobile LTE reception is drastically poorer than their HSPA network. This was also the case for my Note II, can anyone shed some light on this? Even on towers that I KNOW are LTE+HSPA, LTE reception drops much faster as I move away than HSPA. I almost always have a full HSPA signal. LTE... Not so much. I've googled this to hell and I seem to be the only one who's noticed? I didn't even find anything on this on howardforums.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] IAmSixNine:
Engineering could have the power turned down while they work out some bugs.

If the tower is one of the newer ones to get LTE they are likely setting it at lower power to make sure it doesnt interfere with adjacent sites / carrires.

If its an older tower its possible its an equipment malfunction if its an issue that was not there before.

Also remember HSPA and LTE are onthe same tower but use different equipment..

Just got the HTC One 3 days ago and so far very happy even the camera is not as bad as they all say.

Anyway got to work today with a UK EE 4g LTE SIM and I have 1 bar of 4g and the mast is on the factory lift shaft tower.

All other makes of phones have full bars. I have contacted HTC and they say upgrade to kitkat and try again at work

Tomorrow. If the same they said take back to the store where I purchased it and swap it for another.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oriongi:
Great kitkat given me 2 more bars which is a lot better, shame its not all 5 like all other phones, eg IPhone 5s Nokia Lumias and Samsung

Galaxy 4 g phones. Also forgot to mention speed was only 3mb download compared to other 4 g phones getting 16mb speeds on the

4g mast on the works roof. Will test that tomorrow again in case kitkat improved spped as well

Hi All,

I'm not sure where to ask this question. I'd like to create a script or app that runs in the background, i.e when something occurs I'd like to have certain tasks to be executed.

What I want to accomplish is

1. When my home wifi network connection is completed, I'd like to execute the following.

- Launch and App (Fongo)

- Dial the call forwarding number.

2. When I disconnect from my home wifi

- Cancel the call forwarding number

- Exit App(Fongo)

Does something like this exist? Or would this be too involved just to save a few call minutes a month. This would be useful for people when the get to work and want to forward their number to their work phone or set the ringer to silent when their work wifi is detected. I hate it when the phone rings and you have to dash across the office to turn it off.

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have been seeing this issue with my phone for 3 days. I will connect to my home wifi and it will have a strong signal in my room. But then randomly it will disconnect and then reconnect and it disrupts me if I'm using my wifi. It does this often. I'm going to go stream some music in another part of my house and see if it cuts out there or of it only does it in my room I'm not sure right now. But does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do so it stops doing this.

So I think I got this figured out. I recently changed the security on my router to WPA/PSK and this is when my dna started acting up. I temporarily removed the security key and now it's not doing it. I guess I will throw a WEP key on and see if it disconnects and reconnects.
