HTC Advantage!

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.

5 hours after update, GPS hasnt broken once! We might be in business here!

I didn't experience any issues at all with GPS during this morning's commute. I was looking forward to this part of the update more than the new camera features.

Odd the update puts band priority as the below:

25>26>41

 

 

Would of expected it to ideally need to be 41>25>26

It's only an initial scan. It means nothing. You'll always end up wherever the network deems necessary.

GPS still hasnt flopped once.

 

My big gripe now is that they still havent fixed the Bluetooth connections.  My S3 would connect to my truck instantly, all the time, the M8 connects instantly 1 in 10 times, the rest require bluetooth to be toggled, sometimes rebooting the phone, and sometimes it still doesnt work and takes 10-15 minutes after the reboot.

 

Get on that HTC will ya?

I just got the latest Firmware update yesterday, and I tested out Google Maps with the WiFi Calling feature still on and Google Maps finally worked properly...it seems that the problem was finally resolved

Have your tried to send and receive MMS?

Sending and receiving of MMS never worked on the original WiFi Calling release and seems like it still isn't fixed.

 

The feature is a non starter if I can't get messages.

 

That's incorrect. I send and receive MMS non stop on WiFi Calling. I'm currently in a group message where I receive hundreds of texts a day though MMS. There have been 0 problems so far. In fact, I think my phone connects to WiFi calling much faster and better after the update.

Are you using hangouts or the old app?

Anyone else ever experience this with their M8:

 

I placed a call on my hands free system and instead of "Sprint" appearing on the car's display, it displayed the PLMN "311 490".

 

Now, it gets more bizarre.  Instead of my phone showing it being connected to 1x, it still showed LTE.  I swiped open SCP and it also displayed LTE during this call.

 

Is it even remotely possible this was a VoLTE call?  Or was it just some anomaly with the phone's OS?

 

It has only happened once.

It'll likely require a software update.

That's what I thought... Not to mention everything that would have to happen on the network side.

 

I'm prepared to call what happened an "undocumented feature."

I realize probably no one reads the E8 thread, so I'll post this in here.

 

I bought a 3rd party Doc View case on Amazon and I'm not sure if it works.  When I open and close it, the screen turns on and off, but the "dot view" never comes up.  I tried updating the app, but that didn't do anything.  Anyone else have this problem?

I've noticed with the new version of SCP that it'll still show the LTE signal in the notification bar but it says "Suspended" when you swipe it down if you are on the phone.

Did you double tap the screen with the dot view case closed? Additionally, does the E8 support DotView cases in general?

I've noticed that too. In this case it didn't happen. The default LTE and Spark symbols remained as well. The call audio was very choppy. Something low level in the phone probably wasn't functioning properly.

      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.
