HTC Advantage!

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.

5 hours after update, GPS hasnt broken once! We might be in business here!

I didn't experience any issues at all with GPS during this morning's commute. I was looking forward to this part of the update more than the new camera features.

Odd the update puts band priority as the below:

25>26>41

 

 

Would of expected it to ideally need to be 41>25>26

It's only an initial scan. It means nothing. You'll always end up wherever the network deems necessary.

GPS still hasnt flopped once.

 

My big gripe now is that they still havent fixed the Bluetooth connections.  My S3 would connect to my truck instantly, all the time, the M8 connects instantly 1 in 10 times, the rest require bluetooth to be toggled, sometimes rebooting the phone, and sometimes it still doesnt work and takes 10-15 minutes after the reboot.

 

Get on that HTC will ya?

I just got the latest Firmware update yesterday, and I tested out Google Maps with the WiFi Calling feature still on and Google Maps finally worked properly...it seems that the problem was finally resolved

Have your tried to send and receive MMS?

Sending and receiving of MMS never worked on the original WiFi Calling release and seems like it still isn't fixed.

 

The feature is a non starter if I can't get messages.

 

That's incorrect. I send and receive MMS non stop on WiFi Calling. I'm currently in a group message where I receive hundreds of texts a day though MMS. There have been 0 problems so far. In fact, I think my phone connects to WiFi calling much faster and better after the update.

Are you using hangouts or the old app?

Anyone else ever experience this with their M8:

 

I placed a call on my hands free system and instead of "Sprint" appearing on the car's display, it displayed the PLMN "311 490".

 

Now, it gets more bizarre.  Instead of my phone showing it being connected to 1x, it still showed LTE.  I swiped open SCP and it also displayed LTE during this call.

 

Is it even remotely possible this was a VoLTE call?  Or was it just some anomaly with the phone's OS?

 

It has only happened once.

It'll likely require a software update.

That's what I thought... Not to mention everything that would have to happen on the network side.

 

I'm prepared to call what happened an "undocumented feature."

I realize probably no one reads the E8 thread, so I'll post this in here.

 

I bought a 3rd party Doc View case on Amazon and I'm not sure if it works.  When I open and close it, the screen turns on and off, but the "dot view" never comes up.  I tried updating the app, but that didn't do anything.  Anyone else have this problem?

I've noticed with the new version of SCP that it'll still show the LTE signal in the notification bar but it says "Suspended" when you swipe it down if you are on the phone.

Did you double tap the screen with the dot view case closed? Additionally, does the E8 support DotView cases in general?

I've noticed that too. In this case it didn't happen. The default LTE and Spark symbols remained as well. The call audio was very choppy. Something low level in the phone probably wasn't functioning properly.

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
