I am so pissed, I am currently at the sprint store and they won't sell me one off contract. Waiting to speak to the manager.

No proper wireless nerd wears skinny jeans. With all of our devices, we need cargo pants with lots of pockets. Otherwise you would have to use a fanny pack, and that is not complimentary to the image

I got Dana Wollman from Engadget (review: http://www.engadget....-sprint-review/) to confirm the Sprint HTC One does have the engineering screens.     Edit- I do hope they had a final build unit

That's incredibly stupid. Do they not make commission off a no contract device?

I don't think they do but I am making progress with the manager.

That's absolutely no reason to not sell you a device that'll work on ONLY Sprint. Hopefully they come to their senses and realize they benefit from the sale, regardless if you're on contract or not. Somebody will use that phone for Sprint services.

Anyway, in the mean time while I wait, I am playing with the display and so far rsrp on the one far exceeds my evo as well as the evo on display and the gs3 sitting next to it. I know this isn't scientific by any means but it looks like we might have a winner when it comes to lte performance.

Thanks. Looking forward to some real world experience though.

Conspiracy Theory - They have display model access-only to LTE repeaters in the building so us geeks are fooled into thinking RF performance is better. :o

Can you compare it to the Note 2?

Got mine. will post up pics in a bit

 

So the "print" issue is fixed and debug still there. Now to do some RF testing.

 

So this is probably a super n00b question but how did you get the rf numbers to show up in the pull down menu?

 

Edit: Or up in the left hand corner too for that matter :)

That is part of the SignalCheck Pro app

Finally made it back home with two brand new htc one's. These phones are really nice and so far lte seems to be connecting just fine. There is a Publix grocery store next to my sprint store and every time I go to the back of that store my gnex will continuously stay connected to lte while my evo will drop down to 3g 100% of the time. I made sure I was able to duplicate the same thing this morning before I went to sprint. After I left sprint I went back to Publix and my One stayed connected to lte just fine no matter where I was in the store just like my gnex. Again, nothing scientific here at all just real world experiences. Anyway, I am about to put my evo on my gnex line and retire my gnex for good. If anyone has any questions then let me know.

FYI, jegillis was kind enough to start the HTC One user thread, so most discussion should shift over there now. This thread will remain open for the time being, but we may decide to close it in the near future.

Okay, this thread has had a good run, but it looks like time to close up shop...

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
