LTE

Followed what they did in the video.. LTE turns on sure, we have done this when the phone came out 2 weeks ago... but you still cannot make a call or send SMS until LTE turns off it is very strange but the video does not solve the problem. If anyone has other results please let me know!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TechSoft:
new video showing call mms and text working

In response to some who said the video didn't show it working. TK on Twitter stated he is going to upload a video showing it working on sms mms and calls.

And it works for me

Once in awhile I have to toggle lte wcdma and GSM wcdma lte but it works as described.

Supposedly doing a video on flashing a T-Mobile Rom as well.

how did you get international to work I keep getting build.prop errors

Super Cid
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blacknet101:
So once we do the super CID everything should work without flashing the international Rom?

Edit: nvm I'll flash the international Rom once I have SUPERCID
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d1ez3:
I thought those variants had different partitions and you won't be able to flash until the devs fix their ROMs for verizon specifically.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sgtmedeiros:
Yeah I tried to flash gpe Rom and it changed nothing

Thread cleaned.

Let's not get into flaming each other about videos and other phones etc.

No problem discussing the validity of a method, or even having a heated debate about it, but let's not get personal or drag insults into this...

Thanks.

No matter what mode I choose on my phone, I can't pick up LTE in Australia, I've confirmed my SIM has LTE and the phone supposedly has the right band according to HTC.com any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sgtmedeiros:
Has anyone found a fix for lte lockup?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schwartz.matthew.e:
There are some bands that are disabled in a default.xml file. I'm not sure if that is all that is required to make the bands enabled, though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] levilib:
How do I access the default.xml file? Can someone check if band 3 1800mhz is disabled?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schwartz.matthew.e:
I just read the entire thread and wow, I can feel everyone's frustration here. I'm not sure that what I posted with the xml file will help, but I'll send a screenshot of where I've found some stuff disabled. Also, the xml file is in system/customization/acc/default.xml..I believe that is right haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] levilib:
I'm not rooted yet, I assume you have to be to access that file?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schwartz.matthew.e:
Yupp. Root is SUPER easy. Definitely should do it soon. :)

I am about to go to bed, but I saw some settings that could explain everyone's problems with sms etc. This screenshot is about a third way down from the top of the file. The entire area close it, above and below this highlight is full of apn settings etc. Take a look and let me know if this fixes the issue!!

---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] levilib:
I'd rather not root just yet if I don't have to, can you check if LTE band 3 (1800mhz) is blocked and see if it's possible to unblock? if yes, then i'll root but not yet if not
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schwartz.matthew.e:
I don't see anything specifically referring to band 3. That doesn't mean its not there...but I will say that I have gone thru this file at least five times from top to bottom..so I doubt it is there ;).

As for it being disabled, though, I highly doubt that there would be a disabled band. If the phone is capable of it, it's useable for the end user. Now roaming being disabled could stop it, but that is an easy workaround and doesn't require root. You should be able to plug and play, but as of now, you may not have everything able to be used, as is being discussed in this thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] levilib:
I can't get even LTE only (without Calling/SMS), like most people are able to in this thread (on T-Mobile).

When the Galaxy S4 was released it came with the AWS band, yet it couldn't be used until Verizon pushed an update enabling it, I'm thinking the same thing here, they've disabled 1800 until they decide to push an update to enable it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schwartz.matthew.e:
It's got to be somewhere in the settings, just like volte then.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sgtmedeiros:
I can get lte and calls/texts . It just locks up frequently and I have to throw it in airplane mode.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pcsfguy:
I have the same issue, LTE stalls/locks up and can no longer recieive data/calls but i'm still showing 2-3 bars. Have to manually toggle airplane mode to restore data/service. I'm on Viper 1.5 rom if that makes a difference. any idea if this is a software, hardware, or network issue and if there is a fix?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sgtmedeiros:
I'm on the same Rom. No idea.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pcsfguy:
I also uodated the firmware/radio from the other thread and there wasn't a noticebale difference. I wonder if an update to 1.55 would make a difference but Viper is still on 1.54 and I really like their ROM. I hope there is an eventual fix as toggling airplane mode and worring about missed calls is not ideal. It would be a shame for a phone tbis nice to not have its full functionalty
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nashwing:
Just to add to the list: I too have the problem with loss of cell/data everyday. Toggling airplane mode restores. This sucks as I don't know when it happens, and I miss texts/calls/etc. until I toggle.

Other than that, everything works great. My LTE speeds are consistently 30/20 in the Baltimore metro area.

SMS/MMS work fine, no issues. Calls are fine, no issues. VVM works, wallet works, etc.

Hopefully a fix soon?

Edit: I'm on the Tmob branded Viper 1.50 version rom...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nashwing:
What radio did you update to? What is the version? I tried flashing some newer tmob and att radios (1.14...) but no signal afterwards, had to go back to vzw's 0.89....

This 'lockup/freeze' of the radio is bumming me out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pcsfguy:
updated radio from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723159

version 0.89.20.0321

I agree with you. total bummer that LTE is spotty. Worse part is not even know when I have to toggle so that I dont miss calls/texts. Hope there is a fix soon. As much as I like this phone, I dont know if its worth toggling my phone all day
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Napoleones:
For all LTE phones on Verizon are not locked anymore.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pcsfguy:
Yes we know the Verizon variant is unlocked. LTE when it actually works is pretty fast on tmobile. The issue is th at it doesn't hold lte or has trouble switching between lte

and hspa. All service is lost while bars are still present. Only war to restore service is to toggle airplane mode. Frustrating as it's hard to tell if it's the phone Rom or network. Anyone else using another Rom besides viper?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zounduser:
I'm using my Verizon variant on straight talk. I don't have AT&T LTE here yet, but I followed the thread to convert this into gsm phone. Worked like a charm. I downloaded the international ARHD Rom, and chose international version in aroma, it took like 5 minutes to boot after so I was pretty scared. Nevertheless, it worked. I then flashed the elemental kernel to fix WiFi. I'm golden! Like I said I havent tested LTE, because I don't have it here yet, but hspa+ works flawless. I now have full signal bars, and now my mms pic messages work!!!! U guys may want to try that route. It worked great for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dadmi:
I have the LTE lockup issue in both Viper and ARHD ROMs.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nashwing:
Has anyone tried any of the 1.12 or 1.14 radios for t-mob or at&t successfully?

I've tried every one of them, and they all result in no signal and no version listed in baseband from the ROM.... however, on hboot (bootloader) they do show the correct version.

Only the verizon 0.89 radio seems to work - I'm guessing the might be because of the missing LTE/AWS band(s)?

I'm wondering if that's why it's locking up as it tries to switch between tower offerings.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

I also think that call waiting isn't functioning. Going to have to test...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] russellvone:
just a suggestion...

has anyone tried flashing a GSM kernel along with the radio?

they work together....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] liongood9:
Verizon crippled it just like the Droid series

I believe it is firmware issue. I have the same problem with my Droid mini. Calls and outgoing sms have problems over lte. Verizon did it on purpose. I am using tmobile on my droid mini. Under network mode I have LTE/GSM/UMTS selected. Despite that when lte signal is active it automatically enables cdma concurrently instead of gsm. When I check network type and strength it says 1x and 4g.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nashwing:
I can't take it anymore. If anyone wants to buy a brand new VZW M8 that is rooted and S-Off'd, let me know your offer and we'll make arrangements.

A trade for a TMob branded M8 would be considered as well.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

I did try flashing this VZW kernel - still no better. (Also lost Ext-SD)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LatrommiSumac:
Last try!!!

I was browsing around trying to sell my HTC when I found this: Errrr I can't post links yet because I've never posted.. bollocks. Instead youtube: Convert HTC One M8 Verizon to T-Mobile (HOW TO) <---- It should be dated April 8th from TK Tech News.

They claim everything works smoothly including calls, sms, mms, everything but wifi+calls. So I will give this one final go. TK Tech news is pretty solid from what I've seen/experienced in the past so hopefully this will do the trick.

Wondering if anyone tried this yet? I'm going to spend my lunch attempting to do this since I'm kind of vain and want to keep my Gunmetal HTC =X. Will post results soon as I get them.

Edit: Finished and it works like a charm (wifi aside). Hopefully it'll stay working!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brandogg:
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the main issue is that you're using T-Mobile. Not because it's a Verizon M8, or an M8, or a Verizon phone on T-Mobile, but T-Mobile is the issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LatrommiSumac:
confused

Not sure if you're trolling... You're saying T-mobile just doesn't give their customers LTE/Call/sms/wifi at the same time?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brandogg:
Well I don't know about all of that, but the lost signal and all of that...from my experience that's par for the course with T-Mo.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nashwing:
Well, I've tried everything and every rom/radio/firmware I can come across - LTE keeps locking up. It appears that it's doomed for use on T-Mobile for the time being. I think when it 'loses' signal, it can't 'link' back up to the towers.

The phone is not worth it to me without the LTE working reliably.

Like I said, if anyone is interested in buying (or trading a TMOB M8) this 'mint' (5 days used) VZW branded M8 that is unlocked, rooted, and s-off'd already - returned to stock, let me know via PM.

If I'll get verizon Htc One M8 can I use with tmobile sim card on 2G/3G (H+) with out any issues ? Or I still will get some problem with MMS/SMS and reception lockups ?

(PS I don't care about 4G LTE speed)

My experience with the verizon m8

I installed textra app and correct apn settings to get mms/sms to work with my tmobile sim

I installed phoneinfo app to get LTE locked in

but Like everybody else lte locks up and needs airplane mode to reboot and work

so I went down to hspa+/4g/3g and now all sms/mms/data work on textra and native sms app with no airplane mode to keep it working

So for time being to have a good working solution use 3g/4g mode
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] avetny:
Guys I was playing around with that app HTC Thunderbolt app...now I can't set it up my bands back to 2/3G. I tried every option.

Tasker

I wonder if using Tasker to enable/disable airplane mode on a timer is a viable solution.....

Found this post that looks like it might do the trick:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...er/n-kzhjEwrJA

basically Tasker will enable Airplane mode if it detects that there is no cell service, then disable it after a set period of time.

Can someone give it a shot and let us know the results? I have a VZN M8 but I have T-Mobile service, still debating if I should keep it or sell it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] avetny:
So just want to confirm to everyone.

I got HTC ONE M8 Verizon. Using Clean rom. (stock kernel) on T-Mobile.

You will get alwayse without any problems 2G/3G. Everything is working SMS/MMS. Just remember stock Message app not working with MMS. So download some custom one from PlayStore.

Also don't switch to 4G. (3G is fast enough)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hpham033:
Quick question in regards to using the verizon m8 on t-mobile. My phone didn't start having this problem until I updated to 4.4.3. But whenever I set the phone's preferred network to anything BUT UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ mode (meaning be in global or LTE etc.) the phone's reception will drop in and our every 1-2 seconds constantly and it will not stop. Before the update I would be able to set the phone to LTE mode and use the data. But after the update if i leave it on anything else other than umts the reception constantly drops in and out over and over again until I switch it back. My phone is unrooted and s-on. Trying to figure out some work around before I resort to sunshine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zhgzh122:
I have the same issue. Did you solve yours?

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

I tested the speed, and it's about 1.1M when downloading. That's a hell faster than my carrier in China, and my old carrier has the fasted 3G network in China, faster than the CDMA one.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

Took me a loooong time to read all the replies in this thread.

I tried what the other user said, downloaded phoneinfo and set the phone on global mode. It mostly works fine now, except that I still can't get MMS working. It's a pain 'cause I have to do a lot of group work and I have to ask the person who sends me MMS what did they send every time I get one...

But it's a lot better than before.

I'm not planning on flash radio or use other ROMs as there's no ROM that's as stable as the one in stock.

Just wanted to let the others know if you're like me, you can do this to fix it a little bit, even if the problem is not fully solved.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
I have sort of been following this topic, but I just want to say that I got things working totally 100% for me. LTE, T-mobile, Verizon model, newest software, etc.

I have been S-Off/Bootloader unlocked since this hone first came out.

went to stock by means of my original nandroid backup, then factory reset

applied the 4.4.3 firmware here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723159)

Reflashed TWRP

Applied newest VenomROM

went into settings > Mobile Data > Preferred Network > LTE/legacy 3GPP mode > LTE/legacy 3GPP multi-mode

Went into GSM/UMTS Options > Access Point Names, let the phone think for a few minutes, then it showed Tmobile with a star, and AT&T and Verizon. Statusbar said 4GLTE, so I clicked Tmobile. 4G went away so I went back into Access Point names. When the phone was on 4GLTE with the carrier options, I just hit the back arrow.

A Word of caution, At some point during the first 3 steps, my internal storage (media, etc.) was wiped out. It was probably human error, but I'm not sure entirely. Make sure to always have a cloud backup running on your phone.

My phone had the signal issue (airplane mode fix) every few hours for the first day or so, iirc, but over the past week I have only had to go into airplane mode once.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CGeyser:
This method does work but it will drop your calls from time-to-time. I also noticed that the signal will drop from 4 bars to 2 when this method is used.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CGeyser:
Are you sure about this? Have any proof that sms and LTE works at the same time? Most Roms will only allow for LTE data and no sms...that is unless you use 3G (GSM/UMTS mode or Global mode).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] srt4b:
Yes. Not sure how to show you proof. I have been making calls, texting and using LTE last 2 days. I don't talk on the phone a lot but it works fine. I attached a screenshot of my usage.

Where you took the rom

Hi,

I bought an htc one M8 from Verizon, I could never get the LTE to work, or the MMS on Fide network(Owned by Rogers in Canada). I tryied to use Android_revolution HD, but I didnt want to boot after, so I restored, but the phone would reboot after 5min.

I guess I did something wrong. I might try it once more, but maybe I just want to try something else. So, I'm thinking of trying the GPE instead. I have some question though

I'm on 4.4.2, can I just download and install GPE 5.0? Or do I need to update the firmware and then install the ROM using TWRP?

If yes, can I just go and take the latest firmware?

So Here's my phone spec

S-off

bootloader unlocked

superCID

twrp Installed

Android 4.4.2

htc sense 6.0

software number 1.55.605.2

htc sdk api level 6.17

pri version 1.46_002

BOOTLOADER

version 3.16.0.00

baseband 0.89.20.032

if any of you could clarify that, It would help me soo much. I havent been able to get those answer (Yess, I looked and searched, I just can't seem to get the answer)

THank you very much
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] russellvone:
if you want to use GPE 5.0 yes update the firmware,

try this

flash firmware

reboot into recovery

wipe everything EXCEPT external sd [make sure you have your chosen rom on the external sd ;)

flash the ROM

reboot recovery

wipe cache and dalvick

reboot

hope this helps....

that's it. Data will show from 4G LTE to H+ depends on the location. I even tried with wifi on/off and it's been working so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] russellvone:
whatever the firmware for the GPE ROM suggest,

the red text/without red text is that little disclaimer that pops up on your device after you've flashed an unsigned(custom) boot.img and/or custom recovery

lte and gsm

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JohnnyConatus:
This worked partially for me. If I turn on SMS over IMS I can send and receive texts. However, MMS still does not work.

When I try to switch the network to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto it switches for a second then the app switches it to "CDMA + LTE / EvDo Auto". This doesn't seem like it will work so I switch it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto.

Is this an issue with the app? And if so, is there another app I should try?

Hey guys....I have an original Verizon M8 currently using Tmobile service with viperonem8 3.2.1. It works perfectly 90% of the time, with 4glte, calls, sms,mms all working. But I too am getting the frozen service issue where I lose complete connection from tmobile service (unable to send/receive messages /calls). This is fixed with a toggle of airplane mode.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JohnnyConatus:
I got my Verizon HTC One M8 working on T-Mobile. It required replacing the ROM.

Here's my basic flow how:

Root device using Weaksauce

Installed SuperSU from App store to keep root

Set it to S-Off using Sunshine ($25, but worth it)

Installed Cyanogen following instructions. I can't post outside links yet so google for "cyanogenmod install m8"

Once I did had Cyanogen installed I was able to put in the T-Mobile SIM and all worked fine. If for some reason SMS / MMS does not work, installed "Advanced Signal Status", go to "Additional Info", "Phone Info", and turn on SMS OVER IMS.
