HTC EVO lte connection issues

[digiblur]

 

it's that C64 he uses. Sometimes it hiccups and posts multiple times. When you use vintage hardware you have to expect things like that sometimes.

 

64k of ram buddy! Much faster than my Sprint Evdo speeds downtown that makes you hit submit about 10 times on Tapatalk

If it isn't a threshold issue, then what would need to be adjusted? From what I've seen the EVO LTE will only hold signal up to a certain point to which then it will switch back to 3G. Even though the LTE signal was weaker, it still could have performed better than the 3G it just switched to.

 

If that threshold of preferring a stronger 3G signal over a weaker (but better performing LTE signal vs 3G performance) isn't the problem... what is?

 

I would say just set the 4g threshold - db higher I.e

130 ish before it disconnects from 4g.. And at the same time set the 4g scanner timer to a faster rate.

You could do this with the og evo. Which made connecting to 4g wimax a lot faster and it held on the the 4g signal much longer in weaker conditions. Only thing was the battery life took a hit

Only problem is nobody has been able to find the threshold values. And if there is other issues besides the threshold adjustment, HTC/Sprint will need to fix them.

I'm petty sure I read I am this thread? That some here could at least manupilate the search/seek time

When searching for a lte signal?

Yeah the LTE scan timer can be adjusted, but once you get to a certain point the phone will give up LTE and default back to 3G.

[digiblur]

I believe some code will need to be adjusted... More than just settings.

 

Someone needs to drag the programmer out in the field instead of just guessing on this thing from across the pond.

I'd say since the e4glte has the same radio chips as as the GS3 as some have stated here

[HawaiiD]

Continue from above... Borrow some of the settings or parameters from the GS3 radio chips and then use them as baseline parameters to adjust/test on the e4glte?

Is this threshold issue specific to sense roms? When I connect to 4g on a aosp rom it holds 4g much longer usually to around -125 db instead of -115 db in sense roms. Has anyone else watched their signal strengths to see when it tries to reconnect to 3G on sense roms?

My EVO running stock Sense holds the signal until -125dBm.

It's an issue with the radio firmware. Not the OS.

Saturday morning I was going to work at 10am. I left my house and started driving down the street towards the tower that broadcast LTE and I connect to LTE daily. I am about 1 mile from the tower. After turning right to get on the highway, which is just past the tower, I proceeded down the highway. Not once did my phone switch to LTE!!! I have been connected to LTE from this tower many times.and posted great speedtest from it.

 

Unless they were doing maintenance on the tower, I should have been connected LTE the whole time.

[kckid]

So today, Sunday, coming the other way getting off the highway and turning left, I was connect 4G all the way to my house..

 

 

Go Figure!!!!

I am writing articles on it.

By no means am I saying that you’re slow or that you don’t have other things going on (like, I don’t know, your actual job), but is there any update on the article chronicling the testing that you did?

 

Oddly enough, I’m not so much looking forward to a fix as I am to seeing what the reaction from the tech world would be. Ideally, I'd like to see a nicely-summarized Engadget or BGR article on your data with “We have contacted HTC with questions” written somewhere in there.

 

Hell, I’d even be fine with Gizmodo writing another highly-opinionated article if it gets HTC’s attention. You know, the kind where author completely misses the point of your data and proclaims that this will end Sprint and puppy-killing HTC’s relationship for good while said author ignores the backlash of comments correcting the article? Yeah, I could totally go for one of those.

I have no idea. I'm drowning. Administrating the site is taking every spare minute I have.

I really have to applaud you for your efforts and then your wife/kids for allowing the time to be spent doing this. Bravo! I don't see how you do it, keeping up with the site, updates, etc and then on top of that replying to what seems like every thread on the board with nice long thought out well spoken posts. We all thank you! This might sounds like a dorky PSA but whatever...Just remember to place the family first as it's very easy to lose sight of things.

Perfectly stated.

I went to the HTC website and there are no complaints about LTE connection on their forum. So I tried to make one. The software kept erasing my text and said I needed to provide text in order to post a message.

[stitch1007]

What would it take to get the big tech blogs to pick this up? Sprint is being no help and without some negative press I don't see them doing anything about it.

[Jaggrey]

Most of the tech blogs have a tip email or link on their page. You just need to link them to this thread or a particular post that explains the problem.

I recently (12 days ago) upgraded to the Evo, and it's great.

 

BUT, now I've discovered this and dozens of other threads in forums all over the web about how the Evo has a lame radio, especially not connecting/finding LTE.

 

I don't have LTE in LA yet ... supposed to arrive by end of year ... so I have no way of testing.

 

These complaints have scared me; should I exchange it for a Galaxy S3 while I still can?

 

Would Sprint replace it later if my LTE connectivity sucks?

 

Dang!

[gr8nuguy]

i would exchange for the S3, but thats just me...

[zeevg]

Can anyone confirm that the Evo and the SG3 have the same hardware (radio/chipset/whatever) with regards to LTE?

 

Because if so, from reading this thread, it sounds like eventually someone will be able to fix it -- whether HTC, Sprint, or the devs at xda (who I hold in high esteem!).

 

The only reason I want to keep the Evo is for the f2.0 camera aperture ... but LTE is way more important.

They both have the same qualcomm s4 SoC so more than likely its a software issue with the device itself. If lte is that important to you though then just exchange it if you are still within your return window.

[digiblur]

I would trade this EVO LTE in a heartbeat for an S3 if I could. Even if the S3 was pink with fake diamonds encrusted around the edges.
