Yes futile means "not useful".

Could anyone try and look if catlog app is actually showing something? Would be awesome :thumbup:

Hmmm...... But why did my phone brick and loose cwm after flashing? After flashing the zip, cwm spammed me with some kind of error with a directory to a file called 'recovery.log'. It happened directly after the flash message said 'remember to smash the thanks button'
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
Yes on locked bl you need tonre install cwm again and ok strange but you can boot up the phone normally [MENTION=5322548]AndroidNoob69[/MENTION] ?

Had an entire section of town go down yesterday. Showed full signal but everytime anyone attempted to make a call it showed "network failure". Even attempting to call sprint's customer service numbers.

Finally got ahold of sprint via a land line and they claimed the towers show no problems and the network wasn't congested...

It is really bad since I rely on my phone for emergency response. Anyone else notice instability like this lately?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] vader860:
Are you in an area where LTE is being deployed? Sometimes that happens. You dont get LTE and the 3G gets worse.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Well we were on the "list" (Tallahassee, FL) but haven't seen much LTE (or any) in Tallahassee... It wasn't just 3g, the entire 1xRTT network dropped (no phone calls, no texts). I am on business so I get to use business tech (instead of consumer tech) and they viewed all the work orders for the towers in teh area. Said there was nothing currently happening that would have caused the entire network to go down and that we aren't even close to 800 SMR deployment (which pisses me off because Sprint coverage inside my office is horrible, while verizon I can get a strong 1x, 3g and LTE (my work phone and air card are all verizon)).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] alberto122509:
Same thing happened to me a while back, nothing worked, but I was roaming. It lasted for a few days, then when it started working again, I got LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 53fireman:
Same thing going on around Philly suburbs. Calls dropping like crazy and horribly slow 3g. When lte is turned on for good, does 3g go back to normal, or stay slower than the 1x speeds I get in some places?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thlinx:
prob tower issues it happens.. has nothing to do with sprint
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flex360:
if its sprint's tower issue, then it has everything to do with sprint

since its their towers
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thlinx:
no its not sprints fault its the vendors fault
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Lolololol

So do we go ask the vendor to fix their towers?

It's Sprint's responsibility to make sure it deals with good vendors and that they maintain the towers well.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
How so when Sprint's internal diagnostic tools show the tower is functioning properly (in respect to the Sprint network)?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
Its possible that your area is getting 1900 network vision upgrades, which knock you out for about a week.you don't really notice the lte install because you don't have the service, but you are dependent on 1900 for voice so its not pretty. Our area just got the upgrade and we had a lot of unhappy customers, I couldnt call or text for about 6 days. I'm off for a few weeks or I would check it out for you.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pbedard:
No issues
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
So if I am scheduled to get LTE in my area soon, what kind of behavior would the network show?

I get crappy 3G almost everywhere, where every time I try to do anything, the 3G indicator goes dark and I get a network error. Whenever I get an LTE signal, it's usually a namesake, and I get knocked down to 3G. In select spots at select times, I get super duper slow 3G: around 90kbps. Sometimes 200. VERY few times, I get around 2 megs on LTE. That only lasts a little while.

I'm scheduled to get LTE this month. When should I expect decent coverage? All the threads in the International forum about gigs of data have me PUMPED!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Felnarion:
Towers go down. Power goes out, internet goes down.

These things happen. You call Sprint, you let them know. Even if they tell you everything looks good on their end, if they get 5 calls about the same tower, they'll send out an engineer.

Expecting 100% uptime is absurd.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
Normally you will just start to see 4g more often. You may some some minor odd behavior because they are up on the tower fooling around but it won't be a big outage. They do one site at a time, and once it's on it has to be tuned for optimal performance which takes a while too.

Sadly your 3g speeds are normal anymore, smart phones now days have completely overwhelmed the marginal capacity that evodo offers. Only thing they can do is to throw more RF carriers up but that can cause interface issues between cell sites and it can actually hinder performance. Areas that have complete lte toll outs do end up with much better 3g since the data hogs are now on lte, I can get about 1.5 down on 3g here where we have both lte and 1900mghz 3g network vision complete.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StEVO_M:
Same issues in Washington, DC for the Past 3 days. I sure hope its because they are upgrading the towers
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] intrlude:
Same thing happened in Houston a couple of days ago. One of the three towers in the area I work has been Network Vision upgraded, other two still in the works. Anywho, all of a sudden, no calls/texts for a span of about 20-30 minutes (longer/more in other areas). Sprint: "no issues reported in your area", I was: "yeah, I'm reporting one/some". Everything back to normal, for the time being, super-slow 3G (less than 100kbps). Thank goodness for Xfinity at home/work. I work for a preferred retailer and all we have been advised is that the upgrades are coming and will resolve and greatly improve our (Sprint's) network. Hopefully, the influx of money from the new owners will make it so. Nextel bandwidth/spectrum to be used for LTE, yes you'll need a new phone with correct radio.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
I havent read much of what's going on here just skimmed through but I would like to add what I've heard.

Lately we've been having a lot of iPhones come in with data issues. Not just the 5 but 4 and 4s as well. This week alone I've seen 6 myself. Before that... Maybe 1 or 2 everyone 6 months. It's rare. And today these people plus more have come back with a worse issue. They aren't getting reception anywhere. (I'm in Washington btw). So I called my nss support team and they said as of the 17th of July sprint has been getting way more aggressive with the network vision and the iPhone's are more sensitive to this update but other device will start experience these problems and it's going to get worse all over the state till about October. The eta is October.

Sprint wants to have this network vision finished by this year so it just makes sense it would be happening in other states also.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
You should have access to glance, it will tell you which sites are being upgraded and ETA's for lte and 3g nv. You have to be a lead or SM to access it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Would be awesome to get this info for Tallahassee fl
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
I would look it up for you but I'm off on medical for another two weeks. I can check when I go back.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
It is okay... Network is still horribly unstable (been like this for a few weeks now) and still no LTE to be found... Went to all the "LTE" areas that sensorly shows and getting 1xRTT in those areas (not even EVDO anymore).

Why is it Verizon and AT&T can do a fast (and seamless) transition to broadcast LTE on 700 mhz, while sprint can barely do garbage with the PCS bands?

I had friends both on AT&T and Verizon when they started LTE in Tallahassee.. Phones worked perfect and then one day LTE just "showed up". Sprint.. entire network gets wonky and is pretty much useless for a couple weeks.

I honestly don't care about 4.2.2 or 4.3 ... I just want a friggen stable network that can get a signal inside a building. May have to switch to a 700 mhz carrier soon enough.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
If they are just doing lte you wouldn't notice until it's turned on. Sounds like you area is getting the 3g portion of network vision, which since it's to the 1x and evdo hardware it's much more painful. Your seeing 1x because the evdo carrier is down, they are replacing the base stations and antennas so it takes a bit. Around here it lasted right around a week. The installs are done separately, just because they do one doesn't mean the other will follow, we got 4g in February, and are just now getting the 3g enhancements, so you might no see 4g for a bit.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Well that sucks... We were on one of the initial lists for getting LTE.. Since that list, LTE has been implemented in cities that were listed AFTER (or not at all) while we are the state capital and still have Jack... The same thing happened with WiMAX, they swore it was coming to Tally (had the original EVO 4g and then the Epic 4g Touch) and got to use WiMax maybe once or twice in all the years I had a WiMAX device (btw it never came to Tallahassee, FL... They cut the expansion before they could implement it).

I called business support (I am on a business line, not a consumer line) and they said 800 SMR isn't even planned (let alone an ETA) for Tallahassee... Seems we get the lowest priority out of everyone (which is why the state switch the contract from Sprint to Verizon... My work aircard gets LTE everywhere (even in the middle of nowhere it seems).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
800 is a ways off, I know they haven't striped any of the sites around here yet. Honestly bigger markets seem to be getting done last. I live in SE mi about 60 miles north of Detroit, we had 1 site of wimax and are about 70% done with lte and network vision, granted the thumb of mi could desperately use the 3g enhancements because coverage is a joke. My guess is that when they do a big market they want all hands on deck to attack it and finish it quickly. Hopefully they get the work done around you soon so it's at least back to normal.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
It is just sad that I am sitting in my office.. With my HTC One, a work Verizon Moto flip phone, and my Verizon LTE air card...

LTE Aircard - 4 out of 5 bars LTE

Verizon Flip phone - 3 out of 5 bars EVDO, 3 out of 5 bars 1xRTT

Sprint HTC One - Roaming between 3 out of 5 bars 1xRTT (sometimes I am lucky and get 0 - 2 bars EVDO roaming)

I am on a business line so don't understand why I am not roaming EVDO at the same strength as the other devices (unless the EVDO is mostly on the 850 mhz freq). Also my battery gets eaten alive in my office when I am on roaming. The fact that sprint isn't going to deploy EVDO on 800 mhz SMR (although many techs have told me they are going to... no idea who to believe anymore) makes it sucks that even when they do deploy LTE on 800 mhz SMR, the Sprint HTC One won't be able to use it and I will have to upgrade AGAIN to actually get decent data inside buildings.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
Sprint has made some impressive improvements this year and now that nextel is done with and the deal with clearwire and Softbank have cleared it's only going to get better and deployed faster. They have already showed that commitment these past several months. Once "network vision" is done sprint will start building new towers. I know people are impatient when it comes to reception but if people really want that extra reliabily they could switch to Verizon for double the price on a monthly bill for the next 2 years then come back after that contract is up. With this pace sprint will finally be a real competing carrier against Verizon in less than 2 years. At this time when you come back or your contract ends with your HTC one on sprint you will have an upgrade available to a phone that supports the 800mhz lte. At this time sprint will be done with their 1900mhz lte and have already quite a bit of 800mhz lte deployed (which is scheduled to begin 2014. A year before your upgrade is available. It makes sense if you think about it. This Softbank merger has other carriers concerned. Just look at the extremes other carriers are taking after it cleared. The one year upgrades and such. Softbank is one of the world's largest carriers and to be a part of sprint is a huge deal
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
The problem is, this is textbook Sprint. They don't do preplanning and sell you a phone with the technology they are actually going to deploy, just a phone with the technology they currently are implementing.. They have known for atleast a year that they were going to implement LTE on the 800 mhz and are currently implementing it on 2500 mhz, your choices are a WiMax phone (technology that is no longer supported and/or expanding) which is a 800/1900 CDMA and 2500 mhz WiMax or a LTE phone with 800/1900 CDMA and 1900 LTE... Why exactly doesn't the Sprint HTC One have 2500 mhz LTE in it? Why does every other carrier have a 3g tech on a low frequency (for pentation into buildings) while sprint is only rolling out a 1x advanced voice in the 800 mhz channels? They have plenty of room to stick a 1x Advanced and EVDO Rev A in the 800 mhz and still have room for 1 LTE channel too, but they are just going to continue to plan a roll out on a technology in the 800 mhz band that NO PHONE CURRENTLY can use. They will force you to buy YET ANOTHER phone and lock you into another 2 years just to actually get data inside buildings.

Honestly it would be worth it to pay twice with Verizon and actually get to use my phone inside my office (dropped 2 calls this morning sitting at my desk) since they have already confirmed the 800 mhz 1x Advanced isn't even started in Tallahassee, FL (or planned for that matter). They seem to be sitting on their ass with NV and LTE as well (we were told we would have LTE back in April)... They did the same exact thing with WiMAX, I owned 2 wimax phones with Sprint constantly telling me "Wimax will be in Tallahassee soon".

I would take Sprints "2014" statement with a grain of salt.. They have never been close to ontime with any roll out (ClearWire and LightSquared anyone?)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Lol it's funny how you say Sprint will be able to compete with Verizon in 2 years.

That's pathetic.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
What is really funny is how much net income Sprint is getting right now.... -4.326 billion last year. At this rate, they will be lucky to finish network vision and if it doesn't net them more subscribers, they will be selling off their spectrum next.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 00mred00:
Not considering it technically isn't Sprint anymore. Granted 2 years may be a bit unrealistic, Softbank plans to be a worthy competitor and global leader in the wireless industry.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
They aren't going to do that with a CDMA network...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 00mred00:
1. I never said anything about CDMA

2. Remind me again...what is Verizon's network? It sure isn't gsm
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
thats why the softbank merger was so important, they need the money. a big chunk of that is to account for the loss of all the iden assests, which is a big chunk of change, that also accounts for a big part of the net subscriber loss is everyone that didnt migrate to cdma or ported out of iden. the next two quarters will be telling of what is to come, there will still be sub loss i bet because of the headaches network vision is causing but we will see.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Quick question:

What does it mean if I get a lot of name sake 4G? It drops as soon as I try anything. Sometimes I get speeds of 0.5 to 1.5 megs on LTE. Does that mean official release is imminent?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
download the app network signal strength, it will tell you what network you are connected to and the acutally signal strength for each network so you can see if you are dropping lte due to low signal or something else.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
2... Sprint is going with.. Oh wait... 1x Advanced as it voice carrier... Verizon has announced what again? Oh wait... VoLTE as its future voice carrier?!?

So let me get this straight.. Sprint's new voice network is CDMA while Verizon's new voice network is going to be... CDMA? Wait, VoLTE isn't CDMA now is it.

I doubt that... The loss after the iDen shutdown was only 1.6 billion, and that includes more things than lost iDen subscribers. Sprint wont have a profitable year until well after 2014 at this rate. After the entire NV upgrade headache they will have to start constructing more towers to plug the holes in the network that 1x migration to 800 mhz will cause (since 1x is being unappropriated from the PCS bands to make way for more LTE and EVDO has to stay on the 1900 PCS bands). This will mean to maintain Voice communications (which will primarily be on the 800 mhz SMR bands) they will have to start plugging holes that will start to form due to the shorter distance 800 mhz can travel before SNR takes a major hit.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
whats so bad with a 1x voice carrier? volte has yet to be accepted by all manufacturs yet, so while they start to roll out volte the newer phones will support it, but your basic flip phones wont, they will have to phase it out just like sprint did with iden, just on a much larger scale. 1x advance should be done with network vision, and will be seemless. i dont see the big deal with changing voice carriers yet, i get that it will stream line everything to one carrier, but its a big change thats not going to happen over night.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

lower frequency propagate better, thats why wimax coverage was crap, and why iden had much better over all foot print. look at vzw lte on 700, coverage is great. snr can be managed to an extent to limit the effects of rf noise on lower frequecny bands. 1900 isnt any better when you consider how over saturated the bandwidth is.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
You wouldn't see a big deal, until you realize that Sprint (and maybe some of the smaller PCS carriers) are going to be the only ones using the technology (doesn't this remind you a little of WiMAX)... What is going to happen to Sprint 1x roaming on Verizon when Verizon switches to VoLTE? How is Sprint going to plug the holes in the network that will form when they lose the ability to have their customers roam on another network like Verizons?

If you think 1900 is over saturated wait til you take a look at 800 (public safety specifically). You are correct in the propigation factors. It came across how I didn't mean it to. With the SMR bands, they will lose spacing due to the guard band requirements and will have power limitations due to the important of public safety broadcasts. This isn't a factor in 1900 PCS bands at this time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
verizon isnt going to be killing off cdma any time soon unless they really want to piss off alot of people by forcing them to get a new phone, i had that head ache with iden, people dont like to be forced to do anything, by time they actually flip the switch sprint SHOULD be working towards a cdma alternative. the 1x advance upgrade isnt a big deal, it will bring some small improvements, but its just a side effect of network vision, not really a upgrade per say.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
IDK Sprint is claiming it will be their HD voice carrier and that they wont be using VoLTE... 1x Advanced is still a huge money investment even if it isn't a huge tech advancement.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
right, but they had to replace everything anyways for NV so might as well go with whats the best currently and widely avaliable that wont fudge anything up worse. once lte is 100% they will probably start considering other voice options, i would guess lte advance and Volte will be done together with sprint they way the new hardware set up is.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Ya, but just like the race for "4g" technology, Sprint will start out from behind (and probably stay behind).

Amazing that Verizon could implement LTE (and probably LTE Advanced) WITHOUT a modular system (that Sprint is taking all this time and money to install) faster than Sprint can just implement a modular system that will maintain the same technology that they currently already have.

It isn't a problem of "ease to install", it is a problem with Sprint always making the wrong choices in technology... They wanted to be first out with 4G and obviously we see what happened with WiMAX. Now they want to prolong 1X as the primary voice carrier (without any statements of a possible switch in the future to VoLTE) by implementing 1X Advanced (and replacing 1xRTT systems with 1X Advanced which costs money). 3 of the main carriers are getting inline with their technologies, while Sprint seems to be way out in left field and doesn't want to play ball with anyone (which causes their consumers to have worse and worse experiences).

NV seemed necessary since it will allow "faster upgrades" in the future. But look how long it is taking to even get HALF the stations converted (Verizon implemented almost an entire LTE infrastructure in less time).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] duck9191:
if sprint was just adding lte, it would probably be done already, as its the easy install, the 3g/1x part was a rip and replace which is a nightmare, look at the mess chicago was. my guess is since the 1x hardware was being replaced anyways i highy doubt the cost between the two is little to none if the older 1x cards are even made for the newer system. as long as they pick a frequency carrier and stay with it the future upgrades should be cake. im a bit worried about the multiband lte, sprint and clear need to get there crap on the same page!

from the install crews that came to our store, the lte hardware is a 1-2 day install, then erickson has to get the backhaul up and the carrier online. the 3g/1x install they have to shut down the site, rip the old antenna and hardware down then rebuild, they said its 3-4 days to install then the network portion depends on what was there before on how hard it is to make the switch. the other thing is vzw has a ton more money to throw at it to make it happen faster.

only time will tell what will happen for sure, i just really hope that NV gets wrapped up soon, i dont like po'ed customers lol.
