Just wondering it's been awhile since I've done any hackery and I seem to have a weaker signal running the GPE ROM?

It's probably not weaker. Just more accurate.

Possibly but I didn't drop LTE before now it's always switching to HSPA+

It could be that the threshold is set and since it is more accurate it switches. So if it's set at 110 and the phone reads 115 it'll switch to the most reliable signal.

Indeed maybe I can find a way to tweak that.

I found that when I was using the GPe conversion, I was getting a much weaker signal compared to stock while at home and a few places I would go to. I remember reading something about AWS and T-Mobile upgrades and stuff (I'm not a reception expert) on that being the reason why there could be a difference in reception. I may do the conversion again and just put the T-Mobile radio in and see how that works.
Wish I could do the conversion but no dice in getting S-OFF on my device.

Feel like going back to stock. I actually like blinkfeed after switching to GPE. Wish a ruu would leak...

I love stock Android but I couldn't stand Sense even though I was quite impressed how far they've come along

Not unless HTC releases a CDMA version of the HOX.

Will that change any of the specs, unlocking it? Since it's not intended for verizon's network

Thinking of unlocking a Verizon Wireless LTE phone for use on AT&T's network, or vice versa? Think again. Verizon Wireless confirmed today that its LTE phones will not "be compatible on other LTE networks in the U.S." because "the phones will be on different frequencies," according to Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney.

Can you guys get to the Phone Info screen with the radio menu's? I heard they were taking that out of Sense 4.0, but if not this might be worth looking into. Rezound dev's have it working on GSM now with S-Off running MIUI, If this phone has "hidden" CDMA radios we could have a lot of cross platform dev's without them all having the same phones.

It doesn't. Nor does it have LTE. thus phone will never work on Verizon save someone opening it themselves and transplanting some CDMA radios into it using sorcery.

The AT&T model won't work on Verizon either. The Rezound is a world phone that's why it works on GSM.
Nice insult though.

Since my JavaCard should be here in the next few days, I was wondering. Since the GPE One supports most of the bands the VZW One uzes , would flashing the GPE RUU (radios and all) keep me from using cellular data etc?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
It would cool if it worked. If it was mine, I would be worried that if it didn't work, there is no stock RUU to flash. You would basically be forced to get a replacement. I would hold off until there is a stock RUU available.

NO this will not work. It is GSM, bands dont exactly matter here.
The GPE HTC One supports the GSM versions of those particular frequency bands, NOT the CDMA ones. I know it sounds absurd, considering they're the same frequency but when you're dealing with different protocols between GSM & CDMA you don't want to potentially ruin your phone or put yourself in a place where your phone will be hard to recover.
Can someone help me ? I am on Tmo I have a verizon htc one m8 and have arhd 8.1 and everything works great. The only thing I am having an issue with is is take 15-25 seconds before it starts ringing. I have it on GSM/WCDMA/LTE. I think it's having trouble from switching to LTE to H.
Could be Rom related but most likely it's due to being a vz phone. The pure tmo one rings within a second

I doubt that I have used vz factory unlocked phones on tmobile with no problem. The only difference between the tmo and vz is the 1700 band. Where I live 90% of the area is re-farmed.
Back to stock and check it out
Does anyone know if flashing super cid then flashing att firmware will enable band 2 for us m8 users in Cincinnati? Band 2 is enabled on the att variant m8. If not us T-Mobile users in Cincinnati are screwed. Thanks to anyone who may reply and possibly help.

I don't think that would work, as the hardware isn't there. However, I don't know why you think that we are screwed. T-Mobile isn't going to deploy LTE on a band that their phones don't support.

Easy tiger. I actually live in Cincinnati and did some reading up on it, and it does seem they are using a mix of band 2 and 4, and for whatever reason t-mobile decided not to have that band in their version of the One. Poor choice on their part, and a shame for us that have one. That said, I still don't think it's as simple as enabling it in software (though I wish it were).

I didn't want to come across rude. I'm near cincy also. But I speak to an engineer daily for our area. He stated that lte in Cincinnati is on band 2.

I've gotten most of my information from howardforums, but the consensus there seemed to be that a lot of the city was, but that some of the outlying areas used band 4 as well. I live in NKY and go over to Eastgate regularly, and I would love some LTE, but I may just have to wait for the m9 for it to happen. That said, I don't know that LTE is even rolled out very wide so far, but I'm not sure.
Yes, this is an issue
Yes, this is an issue for those of us with a T-Mobile branded One M8. I have recently witnessed my M8 on Edge signals in Charlottesville, VA (where band 2 LTE is being rolled out) while my wife's OG Moto G LTE gets band 2 LTE. I'm trying to do the research to figure out hardware configurations of the phone, etc. There is a thread here with an M8 radio collection, but nobody seems to have posted yet that they have successfully enabled LTE band 2 on a T-Mobile or GPE One M8.
Does the T Mobile HTC One m8 have voice over LTE Colleen after the lollipop update?

No. The TMO HTC One M8 does not have VoLTE enabled yet.
Wow HTC said it would be enabled with the lollipop update. Only flagship that doesn't have it enabled on T-Mobile

My guess is they want to sell more M9 units. So maybe a few months after the M9 is launched and the updated sense is released for the M8 VoLTE will probably be in it.. just my guess though.
It's total bs they stated on Google plus that they'd enable it with lollipop update. I've moved away from HTC as the only for thing keeping me was the front speakers. Also a problem is that the m8 does not play well with t mobiles network and doesn't have 1900 LTE. I've spoken to HTC and they said that it was an advertisement mistake in the spec list that it only has hspa 1900 MHz. So t mobile called and spoke to same person as me who was HTC tier 3 support. Tmobile offered us free new phones and to take the m8s back but my children said they'd just keep their m8s. I said to my children they should accept the offer but of course they wouldn't listen. My n6 stays on LTE while there m8s rarely have it. The m8 is suppose to be capable of T-Mobile 700 MHz but that's going to be so sparse. The next day after myself going through all the steps with t mobile and then HTC after Tmobile calling HTC to verify what I was telling them T-Mobile immediately posted a bulletin telling subscribers to make sure that phones are capable of working properly with the area they live. And that its not corporate store employees that need to know what works correctly with their network in order to cover their @$$. My own thoughts are the m9 will not sell as well as the m8 because the phones look so much alike. We'll see. I've always used HTC phones and made the move away because of this mistake of what MHz the phone was compatible with. The children are happy. So be it. The n6 just works well as it supports any band for connectivity and the development is great. The battery life hasn't been bad as reports have stated for me. I've gotten 6 to 8 hours screen on just as with the m8 so long as I'm on WiFi. Average is 5 to 6.5 on network etc with brightness on auto with n6. And I can actually take pictures and print them which will be one huge improvement with the m9 so hats off to HTC for the new camera module.
