HTC One M9 Rumor Thread


Ascertion

Recommended Posts

This is what I do.  I find it to be more reliable that Sprint's voice network.

 

Two main downsides of google voice:

no call waiting

no 3-way calling

 

Overall, it has been a great solution for me.  I couldn't be happier.

For me, the big downside of GV is no HD Voice.

Usually I find myself having a hangouts voice call if it isn't a landline, so it ends up being HD-ish (definitely as good as Sprint's HD).  When calling landlines, I find the google voice to be superior to sprint non-HD voice.

 

I can't wait for VoLTE to take over.

I used to do the same thing. It works very well, but in my area LTE coverage outside the city is nonexistent for the most part.

The lack of HD voice is disappointing for me being integrated, but the advantages far outweigh that IMO. Hopefully Google will be able to support HD voice at some point.

Just ordered by gunmetal gray from Sprint (thru HTC's web site, which re-directed me to sprint.com).  Unfortunately, the usual mail-in rebate crap for $50, but will eventually be $199.99 as contract upgrade.

Best of luck to you brave souls! I can't wait to hear of your experiences.

My line is eligible for annual upgrade through Easy Pay on April 1st, so depending on what I see and here between now and then, I could either make a decision or keep waiting. 

 

Also, should this thread still be called the "M9 Rumor Thread" if the phone is announced? Not really a rumor at this point anymore. Bring on the HTC One M9 User Thread!  :tu:

In due time.  An HTC One M9 in the hand is worth two on order.

As soon as you guys get your phones please post some picture samples if you don't mind.

And signal strength......please

If you do anything else first, you are not worthy.

Personally I feel pretty confident about the signal strength so I am not too worried about that but a comparison definitely be helpful.

My signal strength info will suck, 'cause I'm in nTelos-land. Yeah, I know, it's almost a waste to have such a nice phone here.

Yes, I downgraded. :-D

I guess the silence in this thread a day before launch is somewhat representative of many folks reaction to the device as a whole...

Yeah, even though the overall reaction may not be as good as previous devices I really believe that htc will at least sell more m9's than m8's so that should count for something.  Gonna wait a few weeks and see what kind deal I can find on one since I already used my upgrade on the edge.

I think I found an undocumented feature. Both were updating at the same time.

 

Simultaneous reception is not the same thing as simultaneous transmission.

Hmmm.... But no GCI reported? Bummer.

Typically it works fine. From what I've seen it appears to show both only after switching technology on its own. If I airplane mode it to switch then it only displays Lte like it should. I was seeing the same thing in the engineering screens so Mike might have fun trying to figure out how to display the one it's actually connected to.

It happens on the 2014 Moto X, too.  It is a glitch.

I am not trying to be gruff with you.  But too many wishful thinkers will take your screenshot to mean that SVLTE is making a comeback.

It would be nice if SVLTE came back but I knew that wasn't the case. I only lurk the threads that pertain to me and don't recall seeing that in the Signal Check thread so I thought it was new.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
