[Sprint HTC One (M7)] trcurren:
I have a one and my wife has an s4. Her s4 definitely will grab an LTE signal faster and hold it longer than my one. She almost always will have a stronger signal when connected side by side as well. Her s4 will usually pump out a faster speed test side by side as well.

I'm not bashing the one by any means. As far as signal goes, I think her s4 has my one beat.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] \m/:
If I had the opportunity to trade straight up, I would if signal strength/durability is a big deal to you. My the radio on my wife's Note2 runs circles around my One's radio. I can barely hold a 3G signal in my house, while she's cruising on LTE. Not a big deal to me because I use Wifi anyway.

There's multiple reasons why I would, and multiple reasons why I wouldn't. It all depends on what is important to you. But to answer your question, the Samsung seems to do better picking up signal and holding on to it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Robisgnarly:
OP before switching to a tri-band device i would do some research and verify the sprint LTE towers your surrounded by support Circuit Switched Fallback technology. If the towers do not support it you wont be getting any better LTE than the ONE, it will actually be worse.

great link that explains what this is in case you were unaware

I'm in the same situation and exact same results.

Great read. I was excited for Sprint to finally get simultaneous voice + data. I don't really talk while browsing web on phone, but I do like apps that while you're getting a call, it searches the # for business / white pages info and displays it in real time, or downloads not being interrupted.

Losing this feature is bogus.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ctiger:
My HTC One, at the area where Sprint's coverage map shows best for LTE, gets almost nothing, at best, and will drop even when I stand still. Even the 3G signal can wave from 4 bars to no bar, dropped data when I stand there not moving, I think it got worse after the 4.3 upgrade. Are you guys having the same? Now that my WiFi are also waving in and out.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] \m/:
Completely identical. Doesn't matter where I am at or what I am doing, the signal is bouncing back and forth, switching between 3G/LTE, wifi constantly dropping and picking back up, etc.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tyler.durden:
I've had the same problem on my One for as long as I can remember. I switched to the Nexus 5 a couple of weeks ago and I get MUCH better signal as well as constant connection. My One would always drop signal, have weak/no signal, etc... I think it's just an HTC thing. Even my EVO LTE would have terrible radios/signal.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ctiger:
Wow, thought it was just my phone. But when I contacted them on Wed afternoon, their CS told me to do this and do that and blah blah blah... at the time I knew it was not my phone, but a wide spread problem they can't simply tell me to send it back for repair or exchange. It is a very sad thing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jskup:
For myself, in my area where we have no LTE and weak 3G signal is a concern, the HTC One has done noticeably better than the SG4. The local repair center will actively tell people to switch their devices away from Samsung to HTC.

I cannot speak to LTE signal and I cannot speak of the difference between a Note 3 and the HTC One, but in my corner of Virginia, the HTC One has had the better signal strength.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] RayTrue04:
Yeah that only applies to 3G, except in my area both Galaxy's and HTC's do well on 3G. Wait till you guys get 4G in your area and see if you get any of the LTE action lol. It's an HTC thing, the EVO LTE and One suffer the same issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jskup:
I assure you I am more than ready for LTE here. It's been a long time coming.

Still, wasn't sure what the OP's specific scenario was so I wanted to alert them to the possibility that their HTC One could be the better device in this situation, rare in larger cities but more out in the fringes.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] RayTrue04:
Well keep your eye out on a galaxy phone so you can see it pick up LTE while your HTC is on 3G. You'll see what we all experience soon lol.

And to OP, Galaxy phones do better at LTE so the S4 would be ideal if you want to swap your One. Personally I would just future proof my phone and get a tri band device if I were you..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] A_Flying_Fox:
My uncles gs4 gets a weak lte signal in certain areas of my house where i get absolutely none until i step outside

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Wouldnt trade for it at all though. Not much of a signal difference and dat touchwiz is so.... no. I upgraded from the OG Epic 4g and am happy i went for the One.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Also it feels so cheap lol my epic looks better than the gs4 ugh bro i advise you dont do it, ESPDCIALLY if signal is your only concern. Not enough of a difference to justify that. The only thing id say do it for, is if you need the sd slot (and even then, theres a little thing for $10 that lets you use sd cards on the One)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ED2O9:
After reading several posts regarding the superior reception of the GS4, I made the trade. Immediately, I picked up solid 4G signals were I never had them before. I'll miss the forward facing speakers and the awesome design, but the LTE reception and higher resolution camera are a higher priority for me. One thing I didn't think I would miss is Blinkfeed, but it really grew on me and there's nothing quite as slick on the Android Market. The One is a sweet phone, but I bought it primarily because of an unreal deal from Dell Mobile, and based on my type of usage it's shortcomings were too apparent.

Let the hating begin!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] A_Flying_Fox:
Hahah to each his own, so happy you made an informed decision, even if i disagree ;) much better than saying "well everyone else has it so why not"
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] trcurren:
I always say to each their own. Not every device is suited for everyone's needs. I'm glad you found a device that works for you! :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] stark1159:
I read somewhere that the aluminium build of the HTC ONE interferes with the signal??? I have no idea if this is true but it wouldn't make sense cause if you put aluminium foil on an antenna you get better reception

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Psycho_Crusher:
Coming from s3 to s4 to one... S4 seems to have had better radios in my area. I still get LTE, but it isn't as strong as when I had s4
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
Sprint is pushing an update today.

Not sure if it has new radios or not yet.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] RayTrue04:
Sounds like just an excuse to blame on to me. The EVO LTE isn't aluminum and it has the same reception as the One.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rootlinux:
I get good LTE on the ONE.

18 mps when I checked it last night. Slightly better than my EVO LTE.

However I have gotten 31 mps on the LTE.

Just not in my house. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] RayTrue04:
I'm talking about reception though, not speeds. HTC's are not good at picking up low signals. I have experience with this issue. My Note 2 n S3 both pick up signals as low as -120 dBm albeit not being able to do anything with it and hold a usable signal of about -116 dBm no issues. The HTC's won't pick up the signal till at least -110 dBm and even then it would lose it. Only way HTC phones become usable under LTE is if ur city is saturated in LTE towers, otherwise if its not so widespread yet in ur area you will hardly pick up a signal unless you're under a tower.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AarSyl:
Just to chime in on this one....there is an app on the Play Store called SignalCheck Lite, and it measures the reception of the different radios of your phone (Voice, 3G, LTE, & Wi-Fi). If any of you have access to both devices in the same location, can you please post the screen shots? This should answer the question that everyone wants to know.

I had to go into the middle of my house, climb into the shower, close the curtain and point my device into the corner, blocked by body to get this. Lol

It was still connected to LTE and working but dropped when it fell below that point.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jac1599:
My wife has the S4 and I have the One...And we experience this problem too. She will have a GREAT LTE signal in our house and I will have a poor EVDO signal with our phones sitting right next to each other.

That's my biggest complaint about the One. Looking at GSAM, my radio uses approximately 60% of my battery every day, and I routinely only get about 12 hours of moderate use.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AarSyl:
If possible, can you please download the app that I mentioned to your phones and take screenshots? Thanks. I've tested this with my EVO LTE and my wife's GS3, and the differences in the signal wasn't as big as expected, but the performance with data is like night and day. My EVO can't hold onto a weak signal very well.

I'll do this for you once GF is back home with the GS4.

A weird thing i've noticed, if I hold my phone on its back, or lay it on the table, it will grab the real weak LTE signal I have here, but once I lift it up right, it drops lte and goes back to 3G.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AarSyl:
It could be your hand. What if you prop it upright with something plastic?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] t3ch7:
First off, I'm in the USA, but interested in the international version of the Mega 6.3 (mainly due to no locked bootloader and generally faster updates than carrier models in the US). I'm currently using T-mobile prepaid so I know both versions won't get me hspa (unless I'm in a refarmed area, which I am) or LTE.

I noticed a couple of threads that talk about signal problems on cell connectivity for the Galaxy Mega 6.3 international version. I can get a good price (not sure if its the gt-i9200 or gt-i9205 version) on the Mega 6.3 from a local store, but does the latest firmware (or one of the newer firmwares at least) fix any signal issues? Or is it just random with some people getting bad phones that still have signal problems even after loading newer firmware. I'll most likely ask for the gt-i9200 since the lte bands on the 9205 are worthless for me.

I could always ask the store how much they get the MetroPCS version for since that'll work out of the box with T-mobile service.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
T-Mobile just sucks ...I have a i9205 here in north Carolina and have no problems what so ever running straight talk .. I pull way better service with them then when I ran tmo... I'm done with T-Mobile... No signal issues at all

2SHAYNEZ
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] t3ch7:
Well good to know on your i9205 using Straight Talk on AT&T towers you have no problems. Judging from your harsh words, did you previously use T-mobile on your Galaxy Mega 6.3 and ran into signal issues? Do you live in one of their refarmed areas?

Which firmware revision are you running? Thanks! =)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Yeah T-Mobile sucks in my region.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kid_Ding:
I just got the i9200 the other day! I live in socal, tmobile reception is great so far!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] t3ch7:
What firmware and baseband is your i9200 running?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kid_Ding:
Just got into vegas, pulling 10 down 2 up
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] t3ch7:
Thanks!!

A local shop near my home can't get any i9200, but can get the i9205. So, I requested that even though the LTE bands are useless here in the US (I'll just disable the LTE portion of the radio anyways). It should be fun to use the phone once I get it.

maybe someone here would be kind enough to help me out. i'm not advanced with this stuff.

i have a nexus 7 2012. using wug's tool, i was able to root and have twrp installed. on my tablet's sd card is now a folder entitled "ready to flash" with 3 zip files inside: a. busybox b. permrecovery c. update superuser.

am i supposed to do something with these....my uninformed self thinks these were the root files that the toolkit pushed to the device to in fact root it and install the custom recovery, and that i don't have to do anything at all with them.

any help appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenNexus7:
I don't think you do anything with them (newb) well I do believe though that those zip files are already installed in your device during the rooting process. Check if you have busy box, supersu installed as apps on your device, most likely those were the files installed and those zips are just backup files.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wroder84:
Depends on what you want a soft case or a hard case. Personally with my experience this phone is so big that the smaller the better. I prefer the .3 mm cases on Ebay. But the Spigen Neo Hybrid is a sexy case but can get uncomfortable in the hand after a while. The Caseologic cases are nice and not too terribly bulky and feel like a leather material. Spigen also make a simple TPU case that is decent. The S View cover or knockoff comparable is also decent but basically like not having a case all together if dropped.

Be more specific to what you want and I can throw some more out.

Clicking on the SIP button in the bottom right should disable the soft keyboard, and according to some, it should retain that setting. I don't have a Wiz so I can't confirm, but one way or the other, it might help you to install a dummy SIP. PHM Tools installs one.
