[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] CXTKRS1:
This thread should be left open IMO because it helps to serve as a warning to people that they may not be in for a good time if they purchase a U11 to use on the VZW network. While Liberty has tried to help the fact that he keeps shifting blame over to the consumer rather than HTC is puzzling. The thread has slowed because I believe some people have been flat out told this is not an issue that either company cares about. This device is suppose to be VZW certified yet it flat just doesn't work as intended on the network. It will probably be quite a while (if ever) until we find out why this problem even exist but a lot of theories point to Google and VZW doing this to protect the Pixel. I find it a bit ironic too that the U11+ which was suppose to be the Pixel XL is not sold in the NA market. On my end I just lost the ability to send text messages and after apps crashing constantly the phone performed an abnormal reset. Now my phone will not login into my Google account and even with a wipe and a reset these issues have not been resolved.

I'm on Verizon and I find my phone consistently connecting to band 66 as well

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

Sorry I've been out of touch. I can confirm that the phone at the very least switches between 2,4,13, and 66 and that all of the others are enabled I previously mentioned in Network Signal Guru. I apologize if that was misleading but when I saw 66 worked I assumed the others would work depending on my geographic location. I find the best performance on bands 2 and 66, and the worst on 13. So I generally leave 13 disabled and I've had a better overall experience thus far.

Post your responses from HTC and Verizon. I still have mine and will repost them.

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

What's puzzling is why you all care and get so bent out of shape. Of course it's HTC's fault. That has been a no brainer since the beginning.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Why you all get so mad is ridiculous. If they can't get their phones working within the thirty days they should return them. And even beyond. The only other issue that can exist is location if they are not rooted with all the bands opened.

Actually the U11 flat does work as intended on Verizon, it works better than my Verizon HTC 10. As long as I'm not flashing stuff or messing with system stuff. I have not had to use my HTC 10 at all since I got my third U11. I only traded my first in to get the 6gb version and I had to send my second back cause I was stupid and flashed Maximus ROM. Other than that I have had well over 95% success with this great phone on Verizon.

Do you have a U11?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] secone00:
Yikes. One big swing and a miss, far, far away from the point that is being attempted to be explained to you.

Did you really just spend the post saying what's going wrong with the U11 then say it works as intended? Oof.

Furthermore, he's been in this thread from the get go, but you can't even remember or take the time to check if he owns a U11?

Please, you're only presenting yourself worse and worse when you do these "mass quote everyone" posts.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DirtydAmbrose:
OMG cant you just let it go ? You keep trying to beat a dead horse. You posted the same over and over with what seems to be a personal attack. If you could just let it go and stop with the bashing all would be done and over with. I"am about to hit the report option myself so the moderator himself or herself for that matter will put an end to this type of off topic talk that does not but clutter up this thread and disappoint many members that are checking out new posts on this thread looking for an update or fix to these issue when they just check the thread to see off topic posts like this that have absolutely nothing to add to this topic or that could help anyone with these issues. This kind of posts are just getting old and are like beating a dead horse, its time to move on and leave this thread get back to on topic PLEASE.

For what's it's worth I finally upgraded to Oreo (waited until Sunshine worked) and I have a working signal on Verizon again. Still on T-Mobile until my plan runs out but I have verified that I do have a working signal with one of my VZW sims installed.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sghlense:
I had one blip where i lost service for about five minutes since i was last having issues (a couple months ago?), otherwise this phone has been a pleasure. Great battery life - Great signal strength - Great speaker - Great camera and video. Great phone!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yep. My Verizon U11 is still working great. :laugh:

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

It might be fun to jump on me but it has been a much better pleasure to keep this phone and actually experience how great it is. I know it is easy to attack something that doesn't work for you but that's ok. I'm glad I didn't listen.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] KOAO:
Are you still on Verizon? What hoops did you go through or what did you do to get SMS Working on Verizon? Because I am on Oreo and having this issue
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] bryguy80:
Still following this thread and appreciate the posts although things might have been on edge with a few. Nonetheless I was messing around with the "Set Preferred Network Type" under the testing option and got interesting results. LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) is default so I found another 'network type' that would connect in my area and here's some stats:

LTE/TD-SCDMA -

1. cut my reception bars in half without affecting call quality.

2. data speed was much more stable - no drop off or initial lag.

3. unable to retrieve voicemails by holding "#1".

4. mms do not work.

I've done limited research on the different network types in the past, but for some reason this protocol has been my current go to if I need to browse or stream without hangups. Not sure what makes this option more stable when it comes to 4g compatibility with this phone, but in my experience in my home area it works. In conclusion... still stock here, no root, not updating to the latest HTC release, and the service has been MUCH better. I might be lucky or maybe enough of us got on the horn with Verizon to keep HTC relevant. Who knows.

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

KOAO, if you purchased the phone before it shipped with Oreo, then your best option is to hard reset the ***** and I'm certain your SMS will be up and working. If it was shipped with Oreo then I'm not sure.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] KOAO:
The U11 I have is running Oreo, but came with Android 7.1.1. So would running the Oreo RUU work then?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] bryguy80:
If you can backup your personal data, all personal data you don't want to lose, and just do a system swipe (bootloader?) then you'll be set. Sorry I can't be much help with the steps, but after I reset my current OS was still on the phone and things have worked since. Unfortunately the people who bought our phone early were dragged into yagotpunkedland until Oreo released.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] KOAO:
I did a factory reset and everything. And texting and everything was working until I flashed iYTBP in Magisk and my phone rebooted. After it booted the next time, I lost signal and forced me to reboot again. And after that I tried texting and it stopped working.

So I RUU'd again, and this time didn't install iYTBP, and it seems to be working for the time being. I don't know what the hell that was about, but hopefully Texts continue to work

your apn details are the same as mine. Mcc and mnc should be different on mine according to what I had read. Thanks all the same though.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] WA_Bob:
Do those APN settings give you LTE band 4 or CDMA radios?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ieatabiscuit:
No, the phone doesn't have CDMA radios at all, and the LTE bands should be there already. After seeing that HTC just wants me to sit with a $700 calculator until they get around to it, I decided to return it. After a week with it, it's an amazing calculator, but an absolutely worthless phone. Also, the APN settings will not chnage, they reset back to default as per the SIM card's settings.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] WA_Bob:
I thought it did have CDMA because it's working on Sprint? Or do I really know nothing about their network
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] OMJ:
yes is does, ieatabiscuit is incorrect....CDMA is disabled in software/firmware for Verizon

and those hating on HTC over the VZW issues....it's Verizon not HTC that wanted LTE only (& band 13 only)....HTC added Verizon support based on what Verizon wanted....so blame your lame carrier
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
you dont think verizon will ever allow it to use band 4?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] co.ag.2005:
FWIW, that's the same one I have on my Galaxy S8 that's unlocked (U1 phone). So seems like it's the correct one for VZW.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ieatabiscuit:
My carrier IS lame... My carrier also provided amazing customer support with this issue to the degree of calling HTC themselves to help fix the issue on a non-carrier phone. The phone was amazing so long as you don't want to contact anyone in any way at all ever. HTC's customer service was on par with Comcast though. Given that reality, I'll ditch their nonfunctional phone before ditching the functional phone service.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] OMJ:
I don't know their future plans...I'm sure it's possible, the device does support it...all I've heard is band 13 only

lol, I wouldn't doubt that vzw cs is superior to htc's....but there was clearly a failure with both companies.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ieatabiscuit:
Agreed! And now I have to look for a comparable phone that can be rooted.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] OMJ:
Pixel 2?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ieatabiscuit:
Depends on the manufacturer. I'm putting HTC on the same shelf as Apple now. My old M8 is the last of them I will shell out money for. I even gave them one last chance to make me feel that the phone was not a wasted investment. The return is already processed, it'll be shipped back tomorrow. If LG makes the Pixel 2, maybe, if HTC, then I'd rather pidgeon-hole myself with a Samsung device. Speaking of, is the Verizon S8 rooted yet? Having issues finding anything solid.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] pumah350:
Was replacing the device an option? My VZW sim is still in the U11 and it's works flne. I sent a pic of the speeds it got on Band 13, like 50 down and 20 up. Made some calls, been messaging, all fine. Is yours absolutely non functional? (besides the calculator ;) like no messaging and no calls? Sorry if you already mentioned it. I even noticed in one place it was on Band 2. I went to VPN settings and it said 'No VPNs added'? I'll test more areas to see how it works but so far it works great on VZW.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ieatabiscuit:
I had the option of replacing it, or a refund. After the disaster that is HTC's customer service got done pointing fingers at everyone from the carrier to me, and would not help, I opted for the refund. The otehr reason is because the phone issue I have is so common, I didn't want to run the high odds of a repeat performance. That being said; to all the people that have working U11s: I am jealous, as it seems like it would be an amazing phone if mine would only function. As for functionality, I only got mobile data. It did absolutely no calls, and no texts. I'll miss that sound quality it had when I used V4A with it.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sdamark:
Mine was 100% perfect for two days. Super fast loved it. Then I got a strike through the signal bars, and completely lost mobile data. Wi-Fi still works. No calls, no mobile data. Got approved to return for refund, but I have 30 days to send it back. So I'm kinda hoping they find a fix in the meantime. Fingers crossed. I really love this device, but it has to work on network. Verizon is the only carrier that has good signal in my area, otherwise I'd just change to T-Mobile or AT&T.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ieatabiscuit:
I'm going to hold out for a bit longer myself. After browsing what phone offerings are out there, what can be rooted, has external SD, and what works with The Red Menace; I don't really have any options.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
HTC chat agent claims the issues they are having with Verizon is because Verizon hadn't entered the imei numbers into their database and are working hard to get it resolved. I'm really wanting to order this awesome device. Could never bring myself to order a Samsung.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sdamark:
That's BS. My Verizon tech manually entered the imei last week. Still no service. Still have a strike through the signal bars. They're just saying stuff.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] jsaxon2:
I'm still curious if anyone has had this issue that is completely stock? I've only seen people that have flashed stuff have the issue, but maybe I've missed someone that is stock. You take a risk anytime you customize and blaming HTC and/or Verizon for something not working when you modified the phone is not exactly fair. Also, when troubleshooting with Verizon and HTC, has anyone fessed up and admitted that they flashed stuff so they can better troubleshoot the issue or has everyone just ruu'd to stock and hide the fact that the phone had previously been modified?

If this happens on completely untouched stock software, then 100% bash away.

I'm using this device on Verizon as my daily driver. I've set the Note 8 as my secondary tether device and pulled the Sim from my LG V30. I've returned the Essential Phone as well as the iPhone 8+. I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to the U12.

This seems to be a verizon issue.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

I would go for it personally, it's just that I am having issues with the Device. YMMV though. Just make sure your Verizon sim is in a Verizon Branded phone first before doing anything, and if you need to get a replacement sim have them activate it on a Verizon Branded Phone.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ckupsco:
I am having the same issue with MMS, it just stopped working using any other app than the HTC message app. I had been using google messages, but I tried Textra and Verizon message+, but only can receive MMS through the HTC app. It started about a week ago. There has to be more than just the two of us with this issue.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] CXTKRS1:
LibertyMonger you make post calling out members and then go back to edit said post which doesn't help since the original text was in the notification email from XDA. Later you come back with these weird multi quotes and attack members in ways that sometimes does not even make sense. Earlier in this thread you did mention after one of you rants something about having to much to drink the previous night which I guess explains the erratic behavior. You are fine until your alcoholism takes over and that leads to this persecution complex you develop while you also lash out at members. This might also explain why you were such an abrasive prick at the start of this thread when everyone started to figure this phone can have issues on the VZW network.

This, I have had to factory reset the phone twice. Once when I lost the ability to send but still received text messages and another is when I experienced an abnormal restart which locked me out of my Google account. Other then the occasional restart for signal lost the phone has been working fine. I backup everything so as long as I know the phone is experiencing an issue I'm ok with the situation. If I ever lose the ability to send texts and have no notification of some kind the messages are not getting through or if I lose voice out of the blue then I'll send the phone off for repair. Judging by the HTC repair thread my phone would be gone for a while and I'm not sticking with my backup V10 for two months so I'll get a replacement from whatever brand and chalk up the whole experience as a lesson learned.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Bravo! Still running strong! I can hardly believe I'm the only one smart enough to make this phone work. If not they can take care of themselves, I would hope.

Hanger-ons who returned their phones hung out applauding the failure of this phone. It's not my fault they couldn't move on.

All has been great for me, this thread is dead. There shouldn't be any more Verizon issues. If there is, no one here is going to help you. So move on. It's over. Hopefully the HTC U12 works with Verizon.

I'm done with this thread. My U11 is freakin awesome. I appreciate your input, I was already aware I may have upset people. But it's kinda hard when you have the success I have had and you see people making this phone out to be a dud on Verizon. It just wasn't true.

Can't wait for the U12, hopefully they have no issues with Verizon so I can give this beautiful beast to my momma.

So, are you a successful HTC U11 owner on Verizon or are you a spiteful hanger-on? I don't need an answer cause I won't respond. Everyone claimed to be smarter but had no solutions. My honesty was my contribution.

Not only that, but just for fun here's the fact I have WiFi calling.

Don't confuse being smart with just being drunk and having nothing better to do than to spend weeks of your life fighting for simple features that should have not involved that effort to begin with.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DirtydAmbrose:
I finally got my Sprint version U11 that I have converted to the US unlocked model to work on verizon. I got my data to work with the stock 8.0 rom which I did the RUU on sd card thing and I set it up with no sim in then installed the sim and used the pop up guide to set it up for my total wireless ( verizon MVNO ) sim. It worked fine so I created a backup in twrp then I flashed the new Leedroid updated rom zip and set it up with no sim in then did the same but no data working it just keeps showing the data connection as disconnected. So I tried to restore my stock 8.0 back up and it kept failing tried power off then back to recovery and mount system again and try to restore again and fail after fail.

So I tried to reboot the phone to os and listed my pin was wrong so had to go back to recovery and do the fix for that then booted os and its back on stock 8.0 with the data working again ? So the restore must have worked.

So how do I get the Leedroid rom to run with the data working like on the stock 8.0 rom ? I did chose to run the cleanslate kernel over stock kernel IDK maybe try again and stick to stock kernel ?

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Anyone have any clue on my previous post right above ? What to do ?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
For kicks have you tried flashing the rom over stock and not wiping system?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DirtydAmbrose:
No I have not, but it sounds worth a try. I will give it a try maybe tomorrow afternoon after I have had at least my data working for 24 hours lol. Once I get all my apps on and all my email addresses and all that good stuff, once all that done will do another stock back up before trying.

I have not read weather anyone was able to restore a stock back up and have their data working again, so this could be something new, as most just list their data stopped after flashing a custom rom then they RUU again to get data back working where I got mine working again by restoring a stock 8.0 backup.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
I did exactly that a few times before updating to Oreo. I would lose signal, backup my current configuration, flash a stock backup and then flash the backup I had just made and I would have a signal again. I would wipe everything except system before flashing back to the custom rom.

Hopefully it will work for you too.

It did work for me. Thank you for the heads up. Was working great now I have the cant send text messages now problem and I have tried pretty much most text apps. I was using verizon messages and worked fine until recently. The only way I can text now is to use my google voice number through hangouts which uses wifi or Lte but I cant text with my regular cell number. Have you or anyone else had this problem and come up with a fix ?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ckupsco:
Anyone having dialer issues? I make a call and then it dials a minute later.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DirtydAmbrose:
I figured out I can receive texts just cant send like others have posted, but some posted they can send with the Htc messages app, which I cannot send with my Htc messages unless others have a different version of Htc messages than I do as I got my download off the net as I removed it when flashing Leedroid. I guess I will uninstall my Htc messages and dirty flash Leedroid and let it install the app that way and see if I can send texts after.

If anyone has any fix on this they would like to share ?

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

I still cant send texts with the Htc messages app that comes with Leedroid. Not sure what to do since I cant activate the sim in a verizon branded phone since I"am on total wireless which is a verizon MVNO. Most times with them if you activate the sim in one phone and put it in another the data either wont work at all or you might only 3g data. Hopefully someone knows how to get out going texts to work and what app will work.
