bummed that sprint is not provisioning wifi calling (according to what I'm reading on XDA) on the M7

my understanding is that sprint disabled it on the M7 even though they left the app. I run custom rom so it's not in there.

So, two years in on this phone, just a few thoughts:

 

Lollipop is great. I love the new notifications handling and the unlocking.

 

I am still happy with the stereo speakers and I have no complaints about the display. Well, just my original complaint about the polarization not being diagonal. Or whatever.

 

It's always been a little laggy for me and it still is. It gets worse as the storage fills up and better when I make some space.

 

I still love the design. It hasn't gotten old for me.

 

The real reason I'm posting is the reception. My city is fully implemented with LTE (maybe they all are, I don't know), but I am rarely connected to LTE. 3G has gotten a lot better but there are significant coverage gaps in places there shouldn't be. Does my experience agree with the general consensus on this phone or is it likely Sprint just middling in my area?

 

I was always able to live with the camera, and thought the enhanced low light functioning was a reasonable tradeoff. But recently the photos almost always have a weird pink cast/visible matrix to them. I attribute this to dropping the phone in some water some time ago but the timing doesn't necessarily match up.

 

With some interesting new phones coming out I'm trying to figure out whether to try for a TEP replacement on this one or buy an M9 or S6 or something else, and whether to switch carriers.

When my sister takes a call on her m7, it sounds garbled and like static. If she switches it to speaker, it works like normal and the call is clear. Anyone have anything like this happen?

Just my personal opinion is that since you should be eligible for an upgrade, I'd recommend that you get the M9 when it official goes on sale at Sprint.

 

Last year, I upgraded from the M7 to the M8, and there was a big difference. Larger screen, and better performance.

 

Personally, I'm not going to be upgrading this year, because the M9 is very similar to the M8. But, I was still on the M7, I would certainly upgrade to the M9.

Does anyone know what the receiver sensitivity range is for an HTC One (M7)? It seems to work OK with signals as weak as -100dBm (1xRTT). Also wondering if it is possible to overdrive the receiver with a strong signal. The best signal I've had was -49dBM (1xRTT) and -35dBM (for EVDO) and the call quality was excellent.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
