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.

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...

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
