I still haven't experienced any of the issues that have been mentioned by everyone else.

 

You can send and receive MMS via Wi-Fi Calling?  Just wondering if it's a nationwide or otherwise localized issue.  Wondering if/how I should tell Sprint about it.

Well, I finally purchased the M8 HK edition. My previous M7 took a swim and did not make it. So far, I love the M8!!!!

Sounds like it's picking up Band 41 where the N5 can't because it hasn't had it's Spark update, and probably doesn't know about enabling bands manually.

I have this issue with hangouts. Haven't tried to see if messages app also has mms problems with Wi-Fi calling enabled.

I had the same problem, did a whole reactivation (##SCRTN# I think is the code I used) and then it worked.

Seems like a few people have complained about MMS issues when using wifi calling.

 

For those of you who are having those problems, can you confirm the SMS/MMS app you use?  I use Hangouts and that's where I'm seeing the issue.

 

Just trying to track down if it's a Hangouts issue or a Sprint issue.

So after some magic code MMS starting working for you over wifi calling?  Do you use Hangouts or some other SMS/MMS client?

That code reruns self activation, refreshes your profile and PRL. Basically completely refreshes your device on the network.

 

I use Textra.

Wait, we can enable/disable bands and change priorities now? Is that new with 4.4.3?

 

Yes... Didn't see the option till then...

Do you need to be rooted?

Anyone else starting to have a somewhat horrible experience with their M8? I've got the HK model, though probably doesn't make a difference. Very laggy, jumpy, in all apps and the OS itself. Can't even use the calculator without a major delay between pressing a number and having it appear on the screen. Reminds me of why I hate Android so much. Have hard reset twice - same issue. Is this just HTC and Android remaining a poor combination (I remember these kinds of issues on my og. Evo 4G's) or do you think mine is faulty?

Come on now, if this was the case then everyone(or at least most) would be complaining about the same thing.  As of right now the nexus 5 and the one m8 are by far the two most responsive android devices hands down so its more than likely you are having an isolated issue somewhere.  Maybe its a rogue app wrecking havoc or maybe its hardware but its definitely not an "htc and android" thing.   Also please don't mention an android device from 2010, android has come a very long way since then.

 

In the mean time, is your current m8 rooted? If it is, can you tell me what rom you are using?  If you are 100% stock then I would suggest hard resetting your device using the ##786#code on your dialer(I think you might need your msl to complete the process) and when the phone comes back up do not restore any data just install everything from scratch.  If that still doesn't work then maybe you just got a faulty device and if thats the case then just take it in to sprint.

Thanks for your input. I have owned many phones over the past several years (literally 20 or more different models per year, on average), and that includes a huge number of HTC models - almost everything they've ever produced. I have had issues with them from the start. 

 

Anyway, we'll see if Sprint gives me a replacement....I do have their ultra-expensive protection plan.

Sounds like you have a bad case of OCD if you're going through that many devices per year.  It would seem like you have issues with every single device you own regardless of OEM.

 

Anyway I asked you a few questions in an attempt to assist you with your problems and you didn't answer any of them, it would save you a lot of time when at the sprint store.

That's almost 2 phones per month. No offense, but I doubt this is likely. They dont even release 20 different phones a year for sale.

Nope. I test and review phones and networks...so quite normal. ;)

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
