Greetings all!
At the moment I have the option of purchasing a white S3 for $450 (used) or a white E4GLTE (newish) at $400. I'm ok with either phone. I'm mainly concerned with signal quality. I'm in an LTE area and I get good 3g/4G signal just about every where I go around my area. There are some indoor stops that turn to roamin, not too many though.
Are there still signal issues on the Evo? I hear some folks have signal issues with the S3 as well. I'm leaning more towards the Evo because it's cheaper and has a few extras that I like. Those extras aren't worth ****ty signal issues though.
I'm stuck on which phone. Are these LTE/signal issues minority that are fixable without having to get a replacement phone?
thanks for your time
Since upgrading the radios I get better 4g.in fact I get 4g where a friend that has an s3 doesn't

haha I know better than to ask for an ETA. I am a long time Captivate user and have been running CM since I got it, I believe I started at CM7. I have gotten so use to it (well running CM10) that I am lost with Sense 4 on this phone and really started to like all of the included things in CM10.
Good to hear that it is a possibility though.

I've seen a few people saying they've done it on here, and am curious.
Are there any special steps, or does it "just work", flash and go?
If not, do you have to flash radios? settings tweaks?
any things not work?
LTE functioning?
Any info would be helpful.

I flashed it as they did on the international version. Lte works without having to even touch apn settings.
I did flashed the boot image manually though. Did it as a precaution
So far the rom runs well without any issues son far. I'm on ARHD 5.1

after flashing, you go through the typical new phone setup. It asks who your carrier is and ATT is one of the options. I'm assuming that's how it knows what APN to use.
There's a thread around here somewhere someone created ATT looking status bar icons to flash for the WWE version..
Anyone not flash the boot.img through fastboot. And was successful.

Running ARHD 6.1 right now, works great no issues. Also updated the radio to the latest, notice no performance change before and after the radio upgrade but I'm sure it's improved some aspects, better to have it match the ROM I guess.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I've tested that Rom as well. I wouldn't suggest updating the radio. Also like the picture above shows there is an issue with 1 bar for LTE, but the dev of that Rom is working on a fix.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Surprisingly I'm now occasionally seeing 2 bars on LTE while at home, last night before the radio upgrade it was consistently one bar. Even with one bar though my LTE performance has been comparable to what I saw on my iPhone, is the bar issue only cosmetic?

Hello, I havent been active here for a while.
I am running the latest Mean BEAN Rom on my Sprint HTC EVO LTE.
Havnt had any problems, so i havent moved to a new rom yet.
Recently though i feel like I am having connectivity issues. For i.e. at my work I only get data signal If i choose "ONLY CDMA" and not "CDMA or LTE".
So somehing seems to be up with LTE. I should have a LTE signal there...
Right know i can only get DATA if i leave it on CDMA only... I want LTE
I also just did factory reset and put Mean BEAN Rom back on ...
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

Nothing went wrong. You're on the latest firmware. Firmware won't change the software version, just like flashing a ROM won't change the firmware version. One has nothing to do with the other.

I sure wish I knew. I'm running a CM 10.2 nightly and haven't had GPS navigation or LTE for a few weeks now. I'm a total noob at all of this, so I really don't know where to turn. I'm s-on for some stupid reason. I saw somewhere that you need to be s-off in order to fix this stuff, but I don't know how to go s-off...and believe me, I've tried. I also noticed that there have been no nightlies released since the 11th and my updater hasn't been able to download and install the newest nightly. I just keep getting install errors. Perhaps someone can direct me to a decent nightly build I can use as a daily driver until a RC or Stable build is released?
Is there a difference between Sense and AOSP as far as Wifi? Sense will connect to my home Wifi immediately. On AOSP roms, Wifi is intermittent at home. When trying to connect, it shows the Wifi signal goes to one bar, and won't connect. Then later (when it wants) it will connect. Then when it wants, Wifi disconnects. It only does this at home. Work Wifi both AOSP and Sense connect just fine.

Aosp ROMs have had issues since day one on this device, especially with AT&T 2wire routers. The problem is HTC does not provide complete source for its WiFi drivers, which in the device are actually a module specific to the kernel.
On the latest cm11 some have had success using WPS setup to establish an initial connection. Depending on the AOSP ROM you are running you may try flashing haunted Kernel. NIN did an excellent job with it and it is known to help with some devices that have especially stubborn WiFi connectivity issues.
Hope that helps.

CM 10.3.1? There is no such thing. There is however a CM 10.2 which is Android 4.3.1. Is that what you mean? If so, try Haunted 2.3.7. Or are you talking about 10.1.3? The Cyanogenmod ring should be blue or cyan, not yellow. For what it's worth, I have tried 2.3.6 on CM 10.2 nightly, and when booting up the colors were all messed up. For example the blue or cyan was yellow.
