From my experience the HTC One drops LTE around -115dbm.. My wife's S3 and my Note II does not drop LTE until around -130dbm..Ive learned to live with it and run with CDMA only until my area gets more LTE coverage.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigblueshock:
Interesting...

While I do think there are multiple reasons behind HTC's LTE connectivity woes. Next time my phone is in a spot which has 4G and is only connected to 3G for whatever reason, I will cycle airplane mode, and if it goes into 4G, observe the signal strength.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fceeviper:
Damn and I thought HTC would have fix this issue by now, and I was thinking on moving to the HTC One from my beat up old EVOLTE. :(
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Super Tommy:
As someone who moved from an EVO LTE to an HTC One, LTE reception is about as poor. I'm tempted to say it is ever so marginally better but that just might be placebo from a snazzy new device. Theoretically, the One should be better but it isn't. Like the EVO LTE, it will give up LTE where other phones will hold on. Anybody who tells you otherwise is wrong.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] subhumanderelict:
Different people have different observations. They're not wrong, but the circumstances that they're in are different. Your sample size of one is not enough to conclusively state that this phone is as bad as the EVO LTE. In fact, people at S4GRU are of a very different opinion.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Androidaholic:
Sorry but the fact is the HTC One has the same LTE capabilities as the HTC EVO 4g LTE. I ran multiple test with the Galaxy S 3 , Note 2 , HTC One and the Evo LTE as well as the I-Phone five compared to the GS3 on a different occasion. The results I always got through many test with signal strength, variations and speeds were always the same results which were that the HTC One and the Evo 4g LTE were always very close to the same as we're the two Samsung phones the Note 2 and the GS3. Then when comparing either Samsung phone with either HTC the Samsung phones were always considerably better with signal strength holding a signal and speed. As an HTC fan I am very disappointed by them and was expecting the HTC One to be much better due to it having higher RF capabilities the the Evo LTE. Building a metal phone and getting the antennas right is no easy feat apparently and HTC has more work to do with there design here. The I-Phone 5 is better than the HTC phones but still got out performed by the plastic Samsung phone every time. I would never by an Apple product but they do a little better with reception even when compared to the Evo which both have plastic areas for the antenna. I hope they HTC can get it right but they really could not afford to Bork this one and it is beyond me as to why they could not do better knowing what was on the line with the HTC One. If it was not for this issue I would have bought the phone instead of a Note 2.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
I don't know about the Evo, but I can say that the One refuses to acquire or hold on to 4G in many areas where the S4 has no problem, at least in my region.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigblueshock:
Well, I just bit the bullet and purchased a One, and should be arriving sometime this week. I hope I made a good decision to upgrade from my EVO LTE. I figure the phone can't be any worse. Many reviewers give it such a positive rating, and even prefer it over the S4.

Comparing my OG Evo with the Evo LTE's radio strength, my OG Evo was better. This was not a placebo effect as I had different results sending text messages at my old job (heavily indoors). My OG Evo would send a text with little to no problem where my Evo LTE would have a very hard time.

After skimming some forums, I'm hoping to be optimistic about a couple of things if someone with experience would chime in.

1) Does the HTC One have better reception than the Evo LTE? Some people say it's a possibility

2) Androidaholic or someone else that has been able to test. Does the HTC One have better LTE speeds? After skimming some forums, I read this is possible as well.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigblueshock:
Is your area "officially lit up" by LTE yet?

Mine is not (NYC area) which is a possibility of where the LTE issues stem from. I did notice when LTE ended up dropping out, I was not able to access the internet beforehand through a web browser. At the same time I would also retry connecting to LTE in "LTE Only" mode, and would have no luck.

Could also be because of how many towers there are, NYC probably having one of the highest tower population in the country. If some towers have LTE and some do not, I could see the phone getting heavily confused. Maybe once more LTE towers light up and it goes official, there would be less problems. Sounds like a good theory, and this statement would probably hold true for many towns with a vast tower density.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
yes (kingsport, tenn)

even if it wasn't it does not explain the One being consistently outperformed by the S4 in the same areas in terms of picking up LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Skyymiles:
I feel like the technology is there for the HTC One just as it was in the Evo LTE for 4G, this is just a matter of the device picking the 3G connection over the 4G due to the radio threshold for HTC being set higher than Samsung in their Galaxy series for instance. Now as to why they set the bar so high for the phone to connect to a 4G tower I have no idea, but side by side comparison would lead one to believe reception is better in other devices for 4G which isn't necessarily true. Keep in mind a phone is a voice device as well as a data device so it is understandably looking for the, and here's the key word, strongest signal. While 4G may be faster, typically, this does not mean its always the most reliable connection. If there is a way to alter that threshold then you would experience much more frequently the 4G indicator in the status bar.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fceeviper:
Question, does the HTC One have a better overall antenna then the EVOLTE?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] srqt:
I haven't seen an issue with switching from 3g t o LTE and I pretty frequently travel in and out of LTE coverage areas.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Super Tommy:
was jrakete

Technically, yes.

Amazingly the phone does not struggle with any death grip in 4G mode. In the 3G mode though, the death grip is prominent. I think this is because the active antennas aren't triggered for EVDO.

s4gru.com did an analysis of it. From my observations which are echoed by most of the community, you will not hold 4G as well as a GS4 or Note 2 will. It's pretty similar to the Evo LTE (I had 3 of them).

Here is the article: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-342-updated-all-for-htc-one-htc-one-for-all/

The GS4 one is worth a read also: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-343-updated-a-short-time-from-now-in-a-galaxy-not-far-away/

I need to choose GSM/WCDA auto, to make calls....

Strange case :|
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] budde2:
I have better lte than my wife's S4 I f not the same
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
You must have really strong LTE in your area.

Here's what I've noticed with the One. I can be in a good to average reception area and get 3G. If I toggle data off and on, I will get 4G right away. While I am using the 4G it works great, maybe only 5-6mbps but that is normal in my area even with great signal. When it eventually drops down to 3G (0-200kbps in my area even with great signal, mostly unusable) it will never go back to 4G unless you toggle data off and on again... even though 4G was working much, much better than 3G.

The threshold at which the phone decides that the better reception of the 3G signal outweighs the benefits of 4G is set way too high. This is something Sprint/HTC will have to fix to bring the phone's 4G experience to the level of the Galaxy S4, which never loses 4G in the same areas that the HTC One struggles with. Due to tower spacing in my area, this problem is extremely annoying. We have three Sprint HTC Ones in our household (one of each color) and they all have the same behavior.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigblueshock:
That's odd... From what I've gathered, the LTE scanner is set to 5 minutes(300 seconds). So technically within 5 minutes, your phone should be rescanning, and if the signal is stronger than -130db, it will switch to LTE.

I'm just not sure if that pertains when switching from cell tower to cell tower (which might or might not have LTE). I drive all day for work around the 5 boroughs in NYC mostly. For instance, One day driving over Bridge A, It'll pick up LTE as I'm driving over it. The next day over Bridge A, it will not pick it up unless I airplane cycle the phone.

Only reason I can think of is the 5 minute LTE scanner factor. The first day driving over it, I was probably close to the rescan period. The second day, not so close.

I don't understand how Samsung gets away with it constantly scanning for LTE, and I don't understand how the Samsungs are set to grab the LTE signal as soon as it comes in contact with one.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
I've changed that interval to 5 seconds and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I think the phone knows LTE is there, it is just not wanting to switch to it because the 3G signal is strong enough to where the phone wants to use that instead of 4G. I am hoping our 4.3 update comes with a radio update that improves the experience.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] generalu:
I know that advertising, CPC, CPI platforms, and in-app purchasing are the typical monetization tactics, but these seem like several steps off from where many developers (including myself) are. I know that networking and meeting the right people may land you an opportunity to pitch an app for potential VC/angel funding, but other than that, would love to hear people's experiences and lessons learned with these types of opportunities.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] asmocon:
I am in the same boat here...I would love to hear some resources or ideas for funding that people have actually used, that doesn't involve things like kickstarter/etc. I have 10 App ideas sitting on a back burner now. I don't think all of them are money makers, but after testing the ideas on a sample audience, I firmly believe 2-3 of them are. All of the layouts, planning, theory, and even some artwork is done for multiple of them, but just need more resources to full get going.

Again, would love to hear what real people have done to get going.

You should submit to this competition: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2355446&highlight=samsung+s+smart+app

I was reading up on the details, and the Venture Capital potential is intriguing to me - the grand prize wouldn't be so bad either. Are you working on these ideas by yourself or with a team? I'm lacking a lot of the programming end of the spectrum.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] tom.mleko:
VC might be difficult

I'd say, looking at the current climate in the industry, it would be very difficult to land even a seed round (less than $500k) without a significant previous experience and a good team. Most of the investors perceive mobile gaming as a hit-driven business and I think they are right, it's high-risk and requires skills, cash and the right team to deliver any kind of decent results. I've seen teams raising seed / A rounds and just burning money.

As for personal experience - last year we've raised a seed round, it was quite difficult and I'm quite sure it would be even more difficult now.

Anyway, I'd love to hear more from others.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] JeffM123:
Honestly, if cash is a commodity for you (and to who is it not), crowdfunding is your best bet. If you can come up with a good trailer and and effective pitch, the money will start rolling in, to which you can THEN start attracting the VCs. That's what happened when I started my business.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] tom.mleko:
Yes, crowdfunding is a very important, and potentially the quickest, source of cash. Thing is not each and every product is suitable for crowdfunding. Just to give you an example - my project is a B2B type of thing and its main clients are F2P mobile game devs. I guess it would be hard for us to crowdsource enough money to start the project. Crowdfunding is great for B2C, not so sure about B2B.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] JeffM123:
Be sure to get your apps in all of the app stores including Amazon (the name), GiveMeApps (no developer fees, get to keep 100% of your profits), GetJar (large network) and all of the others.

Investment share

I have some investors for my app and we're at the stage of drawing up contracts. Not sure how to figure out percentage of profits (if we're lucky enough to get any) for myself and investors.

Any thoughts.

Thank you.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] tom.mleko:
Tough question. Are they funding the whole development, marketing, etc.?
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] Mondo33:
Yes they are.

My idea and sweat equity by providing content.
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] tom.mleko:
In fact they are investing on a seed stage, right? If so, I would expect to give them up to 20% of the equity. We got lucky and got away with single digits :)
[Buying, Selling, & Funding] ParkerCoastalComm:
Couldn't help but see this thread and try to help out some fellow app developers. I understand monetizing an app can be extremely difficult if you can't find the right person to pitch your product too. I'm an app developer myself and I attended the funding, discovery, and monetization conference hosted by The AppShow and CONNECT in San Diego, CA and learned a lot about monetizing my product there. I'm now going to be attending The AppShow in San Diego early January, 2014 where I can talk to investors face-to-face and hopefully get my app funded, I'm so excited!!

I rooted my galaxy tab 2 7.0 yesterday and flashed cm10.1. Everything was working great until I tried changing my boot animation. When I tried rebooting it rebooted but there was no boot animation and then once it rebooted half of the screen displayed black(it isn't broken because the backlight is on and it works fine when it is in recovery) I boote into recovery and tried restoring it from a backup I made of the stock rom but it keeps saying E:signature verification failed. What am I doing wrong?!? Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?!? Please help, I need my tablet and it is very important to me!

I haven't seen any recent Google Play shipping threads, and certainly nothing on this, so hopefully we as a community can track this.

Ordered: 6/30

Shipped: pending by the 9th

Given the price and market (selling unlocked and full price in practically the only market that is nearly-exclusive to subsidies), I'm not expecting heavy sales volume.
[Android General] Chahk:
Same here with my S4 order. On Wallet site under order status it says "Your purchase is processing." I have not checked if my credit card has been charged yet, but it probably hasn't.

I hope this isn't another Nexus 4 launch day fiasco. If anyone would have their sales channels and inventory sorted out, it's Samsung.
[Android General] jaykresge:
Doesn't seem like a fiasco. It's just that June 26th was the pre-order date and July 9th seems to be the availability date. There were a few people that claimed to get them, but outside of some media outlets, every user I've seen that claimed to have one ultimately ended up just flashing the GPE ROM on their existing phone. They were lying.
[Android General] jaykresge:
While mine hasn't shipped yet, it seems like they are filtering out now. The real GPEs are hitting users who are posting unboxing videos left and right. This should reduce the number of "reviews" being posted by users claiming to have them, but actually just running a ROM.

Original orders were supposed to ship by this upcoming Tuesday, so it's mostly irrelevant now. Ours should ship tomorrow or Tuesday.

Got my shipping notice last night. Delivery ETA is Friday the 12th.
