HTC One reception

[jaahcc]

I have had the HTC One for about a week. I love the phone, but I am having reception issues. Took the phone to Sprint-- they said nothing is wrong with it. My wife has an LG and gets much better reception. Is anyone else having these issues with their HTC one?

Are you basing the reception on the signal bars you see or how the phone sounds when you make and receive calls? Signal bars don't mean as much as we think they do (see the Apple fiasco with AT&T for reference). For example under about the phone you can tap on network and see the actual signal strength your phone is getting. There I would compare what you HTC One is getting to your wife's LG.

For example at my home where I "should" be getting 4G (HSDPA) I am getting 2 bars of Edge (--99 dBm 3asu) but I was getting next to nothing to 1 bar (signal indicator) on my previous GS4. It was to the point I questioned if the phone was broken. My H1 is a Developer Edition and just rooted no custom ROM's or Radio updates . . . yet but I will be flashing something soon and likely the Radio update as well.

I know the TMO version of the HTC One seems to report low singnal on LTE but many speed tests have shown that im getting excellent thru put. No missed calls or texts either.
The Sprint EVO LTE when it first launched also had many problems with LTE and conectivity. It took Sprint / HTC months to figure it out and after many updates it ended up outperforming my GS3. Back when i was on Sprint that is.
Im confident that HTC will release updates that will address LTE issues and do some radio, modem and firmware fine tuning.

I'm on Sprint and I have LTE in my area , but my One gets better service than my Note 2, S3 or iPhone 5 have ever gotten!

As much as I loved my One X, it used to have a ton of reception problems. I haven't experienced any of them since I picked up my One.

I also seem to have trouble holding on to a 4g signal in a known strong 4g area. No problems with dropped calls or call quality.

Maybe the next firmware update (4.2 hopefully soon) will address the reception issue.

Maybe the next firmware update (4.2 hopefully soon) will address the reception issue.

To fix something there has to be a identified problem. Upon getting my one and coming from the evo lte I noticed my signal was stronger and held the signal very well. My wife has a s4 and my one seems to have better strength then hers around various areas in town
