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.

No idea, a couple of days ago I pulled it out of my pocket and felt something tacky in the middle of the phone. Flipped it over, and the T was stuck to my finger. Same thing happened with the H a day later. Now I'm left with a lonely C.

 

What my phone looks like now:

Mine did that about two months ago so I just pulled the last one off. My phone does go through a lot of torture so I tossed it up to that.

It's there a way to get the phone msl number?

 

Send from my HTC ONE M8 H/K y que!!!!

By asking Sprint tech support nicely. The only thing you can change on the m8 is the LTE scan timer. Band scan priority can't be changed on this phone.

So there's no LTE only option?

If you are rooted download an app called "msl reader".  It may give you an error saying that your device is not recognised as an htc device but if you continue anyway it will give it to you.

if you have an old sprint phone you can simply switch to the old phone then back again, sprint will give you the msl on both the activate phone page and email it to you

I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the activation , when I connect to band 25 it's when I get problems on data , I was connected to band 41 and no problems at all

You got a lemon. My first HTC One M8 was exactly like that. My replacement device is perfect though.

Are you having issues every where you go or only in certain locations?

No issues at all with g2

Do a hardreset by doing ##786# on the dialer pad, hit menu in the upper right hand corner then hit reset. It will do a complete wipe and when it resets.  I think it may ask for your msl as well.  Anyway once it comes back up if you are still having issues then maybe you want to consider exchanging it.

Have them refresh your profile on their end, even force a re-activation. If that fails, take in and get it checked out. Make sure it's a store with LTE coverage.

I went to a corporate store and they didn't want a help out because I don't have insurance with them, well unless I pay for them to service the phone... But I was right there standing next to the same phone and they saw that the display phone was connecting fine while mine was doing g nothing. I just finished talking to best buy and they're going to send me another one, it should be here Monday. So for the time being back to my LG g2

So the coverage map was correct... I'm in a non-Sprint area right now and only get voice roaming on Verizon, no data. I was only able to get data (evdo) from Cellcom towers which are pretty limited here.

Wow, thanks for the update. I haven't been able to figure out my problem either so maybe it's the network. But... I also cannot transfer data from sprint when I switch to CDMA only, which I wouldn't think would be a problem with sprint but rather the phone. I dunno. Others having issues with sprint 3g only?

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      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.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
