I just restored it. I'm still not sure if it's working ... still says 1X instead of 800.

 

Before I restored it though I backed everything up on HTC Sync and then restored from that - maybe that was a mistake.

Is there a different way to do a factory reset aside from the "Backup and Reset" option in settings?? Would it do anything different? I'm afraid I broke the tri-band ness of my phone!! ????????????

Looks like a good device, but today's gadget spam has gotten out of control. Thanks Samsung.

That is a Sprint video on YouTube featuring the E8. So yes, it is coming to the states.       Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk

It's pretty much the same as the M8, only plastic and has a higher Mp camera. Only thing I can think of as far as the adoption of this phone is that everyone had already( who wants htc phones) has bou

Download the RUU for the phone and flash it.

Will that fix this problem?

Without knowing exactly what you did I can't say for sure. But if its software related that's the best you can do as far as reverting back to stock. Its like flashing the factory image on a nexus device.

I messed around with the band select menu in the 4636 hidden testing menu... Now I don't seem to get 1x800 and my LTE priority space is blank.

When I try to launch the band selection on my nexus it crashes so I can't see exactly what that was. I vaguely remember using that on my evo LTE to force the phone on secondary 800 but I do remember being able to change the setting back to stock with no issue. I would try the RUU if I were in your shoes, just keep in mind it will wipe everything including data on the phone.

I already did an HTC Backup so I'm fine with that. Although if that is backed up that is part of the problem. But I can live with that if it's fixed!

Its been a while since I've used the back up utility in HTC sync but I doubt it backs that up. Glancing through HTCs website I couldn't find where they have the updates listed but it looks like it has been changed a lot since I last used a HTC phone. You may want to try contacting their customer service to download it, or grab it from XDA if you are comfortable with that.

Reset your phone using ##786# code, you will also need your msl to complete the process.

I did that. I still thought all hope was lost because I wasn't connecting to 1x800 where I normally have been, but I just walked around the building at work and it switched from B25 to B26 seamlessly back and forth. So I guess it's not bricked!

 

I wonder if a recent PRL update changed the 1x800 status? I figured we were done with stuff like that. that's the only thing I can think of, because my EVO LTE still picks up 1x800 at home where this wasn't.

The only place online I could find the RUU didn't unzip once I downloaded it. Is there really no other way to fix this problem?! It only seems to affect voice.

You could try going to a Sprint service and repair store and ask them to re load the software on your phone.

The band selection in that menu is probably only for CDMA, which would make sense why you aren't able to connect to pcs and smr at the same time.

...now all of a sudden I just went into the regular settings page and changed from LTE/CDMA to CDMA Only and back again and now it's working fine .... Who knows what I did but glad!!!

So my Sister and Brother in law just switched to Sprint to from AT&T, he got a Nexus 6 and she got a HTC One E8. His phone is perfect everything works as it should but she came home and she is getting a "4g services are unavailable as the sim/uicc is invalid". When that happens the LTE turns off and she is stuck on 3G, popping the sim out and back in works temporarily but it's not a solution. She called Sprint and they did their thing and still nothing they said go back to the store. Is this a common problem with HTC phones? Any help would be appreciated in this manner.

I haven't ever had an issue with my HTC devices. Has Sprint tried giving a new Sim card or tried giving a new phone if the issue continued. Has she did a profile update as that may help because when I first got my One Max it wanted me to do a PRL and Profile update before it could be used on 4g.

Have you tried dialing ##72786#? I think that code should work for the E8, it resets the connection settings and reruns the activation in case something went wrong during the initial setup.

Yeah did that and pretty much everything else sadly.

I've had SIM card issues before on Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. You have to swap the SIM card and usually the problem goes away.

Yeah that's what I figured, I'll report back with an update.

Finally got Lollipop today! Really posses me off that it was more than 3 months after the M8, especially since it is the same phone inside.

 

So far I'm loving it, but testing notifications are weird. using stock messenger app. I thought the text would appear at the top of the screen, but it doesn't. Just the icon in the status bar. Setting I can change somewhere?

      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.
