I don't know why you find it it funny? I am not as smart as you, I can only tell you my experience. We got screwed. No one is willing to help. Why my contributions are a mockery for you guys is astounding. "Lol" doesn't help anything. I know what I know from my experience. I'm getting a brand new U11 to try again, if it fails I am getting my money back. You don't see the people having success with this phone. They are. But it's ok, I can afford to be the fall guy for this mess.

And, besides what you think is funny, I have proven those of us who are stuck with Verizon and have this permanent signal loss issue, they can get a full refund if they push hard enough. I don't think that is anything to laugh at. Not trying to be rude but I feel like people are getting satisfaction over our HTC U11 issues. Seems like people enjoy failure. I prefer success.

Does this issue really still bother you guys? Or do you get satisfaction that you made the right choice? There are people who do not care to take a chance and figure this **** out.

I would love to hear what your diagnosis is, after all the modemst2 thing never worked. Please, instead of laughing at us help us. I get mocked and criticized enough but I never see any other "theories" or opinions as to what is going on?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] QD2DC:
Yes I do have a u11 still but stopped using it as my daily due to HTCs failure to make a fully compatible Verizon device. Been using my my essential phone with no issues. Funny how a new company with no previous cell phones to show for themselves can make a fully functional unlocked phone that works on Verizon. Must be another conspiracy against HTC too.

And I gain absolutely no satisfaction from your posts lol. I find you quoting yourself to be extremely annoying, gives me false hope that someone knowledgeable is bumping the thread when I get a notification, but only to find its just you talking to yourself.

And poor [MENTION=4870157]sdamark[/MENTION] getting dragged into this lol

You have nothing to offer but insults. Just stop following the thread.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DirtydAmbrose:
At least your trying to do something, and I have seen you trying to help others even though the same fixes may not work for them. I have seen a lot of people complain when you have had good intensions. My advice is just ignore the haters and dont let them drag you down to their level. If they keep putting you or your posts down just flag them as the moderators will post that flaming others is not allowed on xda.

Everyone has their own opinion but its everyones responsibility to act their age and not put someone else down. All that is needed is for everyone to respect other peoples opinions and not try to make fun of them or their post or posts as this is not a third grader forum so acting childish this is not the place for it.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Exactly. Just move on if it does not concern you or if you have nothing to offer. It's been easy to make fun of me but they have nothing to offer.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sdamark:
This is an interesting topic for me. Frankly it's none of your business what threads I follow, or whose comments I like. Just chill out and leave me out of your rants. Thank you.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] beaups:
I'm not sure how you managed to read so much in to a 3 letter post. Where did I "put you down" or "make fun" of you?

In fact, I simply got a laugh out of how poor HTC's service is. And after all the runaround you got, even after they "meticulously tested" your device, it doesn't work. Hence the "lol".

But I hope you feel better now after getting everything off your chest (whatever it was).

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] secone00:
Quite frankly, this thread lost any merit when you let one button on a post send you into a blind rage of " EVERYONE IS AGAINST ME!!!"

The only purpose this thread has left is to warn any potential buyers on Verizon before they make the switch. It's clear nothing is going to change the situation that the device is currently in.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
You might be right about that. I spoke to two customer service people with HTC recently and got nowhere so they "elevated" my ticket and said I'd get a call within 48 to 72 hours. When that call came I was asked what the problem was and what I've already tried to fix it. I was also asked if I'd talked to Verizon customer service.

After I told him everything I'd done and that VZW blamed HTC and that I was very aware that this isn't an isolated problem he finally stopped acting stupid. The rep acknowledged the issue but said all he could recommend for now is to wait for the next update. He felt confident that it will reestablish connection on Verizon and said that update is expected within 30 days. He assured me that if the update doesn't work I can get the phone replaced under warranty. We'll see.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] jdrch:
Sorry to interrupt the fighting on this thread, but I received the Oct 1 patch (v. 1.28.617.30) this morning. Anyone else? Does this help with the Verizon issues at all?

---------- Post added at 10:50 ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 ----------

Also: I heard on last week's Droid Life Show that Verizon will be requiring certification for LTE-only devices too, which - assuming the status quo continues - severely limits the number unlocked devices that will work on their network. Read: HTC on Verizon will become an oxymoron.

For those of you jumping ship to T-Mobile, etc: Verizon flagships have been keeping up with Android patching while (many) unlocked and T-Mo devices haven't. So basically you're either locked down on Verizon or you can go elsewhere and kiss timely patching goodbye. The Android ecosystem continues to be a total CF.

I got the August AND October updates two days after i first booted up my phone. Signal has been solid 4G LTE this whole time, even when i had zero bars while traveling thru a known sketchy area. Have now traveled about 250 miles away from home. Very pleased so far. On day 4 and the only quirk i have had thus far is trying to bluetooth connect to my car, although i only spent about 5 minutes trying to do so. Still have a few things to test out before i am confident it's a keeper. Definately not going to root as i don't want to/need to upset the apple cart. Spectacular phone. I cannot stand the keyboard layout though - AT ALL.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
I had the same issues with their keyboard and HTC Messages.

Went to Play Store and got Google Messages and GBoard keyboard.

Simple to switch from stock keyboard to GBoard in Settings - Languages and Input - Virtual Keyboard.

Both are SOOOO much better.

If you go through HTC chat you can get a replacement no doubt but you can also get a full refund. I got chat transcript to prove it. Why it bothers people that we talk about this is ridiculous. This is not a development thread.

More like people get a kick out of any failure we have on Verizon when a lot of people are having success. My failure was flashing an incompatible ROM. But as soon as someone has a known failure some here get a kick out of it to reassure themselves they made the right decision.

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------

How long did you have the phone? And actually how far back have you read? It was not one button.

And of course [MENTION=4870157]sdamark[/MENTION] clicks thanks on your worthless post. Just cause a few people in this thread couldn't figure out how to make this phone work doesn't make it a failure.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sghlense:
New quirk discovered. I am not able to receive MMS. I can send them, and they come out fine for those on the other end, but when i receive them it just says “download”. A search brings up a few hits but no solutions. Cant find the APN settings on this phone. Not sure how to proceed but unfortunately i’ll have to send it back if there is no solution. :/
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] henslo:
Still haven't had any problems with being on Verizon. Sends and receives mms just fine, have tried a couple different roms. Only one that gave problems, was the Slim rom(but expected it)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
Some carriers need activate mms. Have you checked that mms are allowed to download over data?. There should be an option somewhere.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
A different sd card fixed that for me. I had that problem when I first got the phone.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Some stock users reported this problem, the only thing that fixed it was a factory reset. I never had issues with mms except when I had Wi-Fi on, I turned Wi-Fi off and they sent. But that was only once. If nothing else works, supposedly a factory reset works. That's the biggest issue I have seen with stock users. There is another thread with stock users on Verizon that talk about this issue, I forget what it's called.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

The only time I really had this issue is when I sent my U11 back for warranty repair, when I swapped my SIM back into my HTC 10 I couldn't received text messages at all. I got a new SIM and it was fixed. But as I said, other stock users reported this issue and factory reset fixed it. Hopefully you get it straightened out and no one who doesn't care about the U11 on Verizon anymore takes joy in your issues.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sghlense:
Narrowed it down to 3rd party SMS apps being the culprit. When I switched back to stock messaging everything works just fine, even on WiFi. When using handcent or textra i am unable to receive MMS. Now i just have to figure out why. Never had a problem with those on my M8.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I always use Verizon messages + I like that app for some reason.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Any more feedback? Hopefully you figured it out.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sghlense:
Nope - getting ready to do a factory reset, although i doubt that will solve the problem. Gotta exhaust my options though.

HTC U 11 Unlocked 128 Help on verixon

HI,

I have read most of this thread there is some great info in here.

I am hopping you can help me. I have been using an HTC M One 8 for 3+ years.

I recently purchased the HTC U11 Unlocked 128 from HTC Directly.

Unfortunately, I can not get the HTC U11 to successfully make a call, nor can I send a text message.

I get a response from the text message with the Red triangle and an ! in the middle that says the test did not send successfully.

However the person I sent the text to did get at lease one of my text messages and responded.

I have gone to the Verizon wireless store three times now and they still can not get the U11 working fully.

I have tried three brand new Nano SIM cards. I verified that my account has VoLTE enabled.

Since my third trip yesterday, The phone was no longer even connecting to the LTE network.

I had to go to the phone and enter that *#*# whatever it was.. to get to the advances setting screen where I could select turn off radio then select LTE only. Then Turn on the radio. This allows the phone to connect successfully, but I can not make calls or text. No other setting will allow the phone to connect to the network. I have checked all menus on the phone I can find an I can not find anywhere to enable VoLTE, which if i understand correctly is required for the U11 to make calls. I am a novice at this stuff. I have not loaded any custom roms or anything like that. I only install the droid updates that were available. Am I missing something, a configuration setting or is my account not properly configured at Verizon? The Sim works in my HTC one M8, and the new Pixil II which I also just upgraded to which I want to return as I can't stand it.

Please any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

thanks.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sghlense:
Didn't work. Only other option is to get another SIM card from Verizon and find someone with a Pixel/H10 etc to activate it on. I tried telling them in the store but they insisted they had no phone in house to activate it on. They did i'm sure, but didn't want to be bothered to do so. :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Mine wouldn't connect with new SIM until i had them go into my account, replace my M8 with the U11, manually enter my IMEI/MEID number and activate HD Voice. After they did that and rebooted, 4G LTE popped up. After a couple of minutes i was able to make phone calls and send & receive text messages. So i would suggest your account isn't set up correctly for the U11.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] notsoswift:

So far my call to Verizon has not helped, everything appears to be setup correctly., eg IMEI/MEID etc...

HD voice is enabled.

We just did a software update check and droid 8.? a 1.2+GB download was available so it is installing now. Perhaps this will help.

I will keep you posted. Thanks for the assistance so far!

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

it is working!!!

When I first got my phone. I upgraded the Droid os to version 7.??

Now that droid 8.0.0 is installed everything is working. software number 2.31.317.2

Thanks everyone for the assistance, Hopefully if you are having similar issues the OS upgrade to 8.0.0 will solve you issues like mine.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] dodendemise:
Interesting.. I'm going to try a Verizon sim card tomorrow and see if it works for me.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yes, calls to Verizon or HTC will not help. So far only things that help is you have to activate advanced calling in a phone that is from the HTC One M9 year and up, any phone that has VoLTE, or if you've already done that then running a stock RUU or as in your case it seems a full o.s. Upgrade fixed it. The main starter is having your SIM activated in a different phone that has VoLTE since this phone does not have Verizon software on it with Verizon's advanced calling settings. And I don't care who thinks it's funny, if you plan on unlocking and rooting, always pull your SIM card out first before flashing anything. That includes installing adaway, cause it will want you to reboot after installing. Pull your SIM first, boot up and then install it and reboot.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Ok so I finally got my replacement and I popped my SIM in and for the first time I experienced what most users coming from older phones like the M8 have been experiencing. I had the same issues as you guys. I tried making calls and the call ended immediately. I was able to send texts and an MMS but not receive MMS. I was showing 4GLTE with almost full bars but couldn't make any calls. So I popped my SIM back into my HTC 10 and went into settings and into Advanced Calling and noticed my Advanced Calling was deactivated. At some point, I guess when I made a plan change they deactivated it. They also deactivated my insurance without my doing. So I took my HTC 10 and U11 to Verizon and requested a new SIM activated into my HTC 10 with Advanced Calling reactivated. Then made the switch to my U11 and all is working, already upgraded to Oreo. This was not the same issue as I was having before with the slash mark through my signal bars. So now I'm just gonna run stock for a bit, as long as I can hold out and see what happens. So far so good.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] dodendemise:
Did you update to Oreo before going to Verizon?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I think I found what is causing the text messaging issue, and other crazy issues, this is a screenshot of my Verizon HTC 10 after taking out my SIM card from my U11 and putting it back into my Verizon HTC 10. It is showing as a Sprint PCS device. This is after I drove to Verizon to get a new Verizon SIM. What a mess. HTC claims my new U11 is an unlocked device, it does not seem to be the case. Verizon is sending me a new SIM next day shipping. The lady I was speaking with from Verizon was very nice and very helpful but they had an alarm system going off and had to get off the phone, she is supposed to be calling me back. The Verizon lady called HTC for me but I got disconnected from the 3-way conversation but the Verizon lady went ahead and finished the conversation with HTC and got me a ticket number and had it escalated. It's probably going to turn into a complete refund. What's weird is I can make calls and texts are working.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
The screenshot isn't posting from my pc, just tried it from my phone I don't know why. Anyways, in network settings it is showing as Sprint PCS under operator names.

***Edit My HTC U11 showed as Verizon, then when I switched the SIM back to my Verizon HTC 10 it is showing Sprint PCS. Will know more later but this seems very screwey.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sdamark:
Very interesting. Curious to see where this goes. Glad your U11 is back up ?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Thanks Buddy. I got a very smart lady from Verizon helping me figure this sh%t out. We are going to continue tomorrow. I am running an RUU on my Verizon HTC 10 to see if I can fix this Sprint PCS BS. But it seems I have a half Verizon/half Sprint HTC 10 so that to me seems could be causing the issues on the U11. I didn't notice that my advanced calling was deactivated til after I popped my SIM in the U11 and then back into the HTC 10. I just assumed it was activated cause it has always been activated. So now that Sprint is in the mix I can't get the Advanced calling activated properly, Verizon say's it is activated on their end but in my settings it shows it's not. And WiFi calling is greyed out to where I can't even turn it on. (Verizon HTC 10) So hopefully the RUU fixes it and another new SIM. Here is the screenshot, can't upload for some reason
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
OK, after flashing the Verizon ruu to my HTC 10 it was fixed. I was able to successfully activate advanced calling and figured out that not having advanced calling activated fully or properly is what causes the problems with texts and mms. So far all seems good on my U11. I used stock messages, Verizon messages+ and Textra with no issues. Before, when Verizon had my account activated with advanced calling was not enough. It has to be activated on a phone as well. We all knew that but this was my first experience with it.

One thing I do notice that is different with Oreo is during setup, it does not ask if you want to set up carrier settings like it did on Nougat.

First speed test in my home.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kurtschmeichel:
Speeds will depend on network quality and reception. You should get outside and make another test, to see if the walls block 4G/LTE.

Not on Verizon, but these are the speeds I get over here.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I've made many tests in this thread comparing them to my HTC 10 so I got a general idea of what to expect. But yeah I will do that, I have been laid up with a broken foot so haven't been able to do much. I'm very happy with my battery life already this time around compared to my last U11. I would have lost at least 10% already compared to this screenshot. I had horrible battery drain with practically everything disabled.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
So it seems to me that the U11 is screwing with SIM cards if it turned my HTC10 into a sprint device. That's why I would advise pulling the SIM when updating or flashing anything. I will pop my sim back into my HTC10 today to make sure it is still OK but what happened this last time was from not having advanced calling activated properly.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sghlense:
Just checked to make sure my phone is carrier unlocked before going to AT&T to try a one month prepay - phone says LOCKED! Ordered the Verizon version because everyone said it is the same as the others (unlocked) but might be white listed by HTC so as to be quirk free for verizon users.

Those people were wrong - It's LOCKED! I'm fooked!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I have gotten speeds that high but it requires rooting and running Network Signal Guru to unlock the other Verizon bands. Verizon is limiting us to band 13 only without root and Network Signal Guru.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Are you sure it isn't just the bootloader that is locked It should be carrier unlocked. They are 2 different things. There isn't a Verizon specific version. How did you find this out? So is it the Sprint version? Have you contacted HTC? Also, your text messaging issue is due to not having advanced calling activated fully and properly, on both ends. From a phone where you physically activate the SIM and from Verizons end. They can wipe it and redo it.
