Do you have any signal issues with the Inspire? i am thinking of coming back..

thinking of coming back to the inspire but i want to make sure there are no cell signal issues with the inspire. have you all had any probs? how was it fixed?
Thank you

Why would u ask that? Did you?
I've never had any signal problem... I hardly have 5 notches out of 5 though even with 2 I m able to speak with no loss of quality...

gees...

Yeah, the signal strength with the stock radio for me is sub par as compared to the slew of other phones I have laying around here. Its always way down as compared to every other phone I have, even my iphone, which was the reigning king of crap signal. Maybe its possible to get a better signal with a different radio, I dont know? Its mainly just affected in building call performance, and definitely data performance. BUT I love this phone and am going to live with it. I have even thought about trying to rig up an antenna of some sort to experiment. I might try to solder a coil of wire onto the lower antenna/cover, probably wont work but I its an easy experiment.
btw I have tried different roms and reflashed the stocker a bunch of times experimenting with little to no change minus my gps randomly going away after some flashes.

Are we back in high school? What's with all these back and forth comments? Why not help the OP instead of going off topic?
And to reply to the OP, I personally haven't had any (cell) signal problems. The area you are in and how congested it is also a major factor.

I have had issues with the AT&T Microcell dropping calls using an unrooted, carrier unlocked, stock HTC Inspire. I have no resolution at this time.

Terrible signal issues

I'm running the radio 1.6 something and I have 1 bar help?

Your's was a pointless statement. You didn't even ask a question. Are you having problems making calls, or getting data, or does it just bother you that only 1 bar is showing? How do other phones behave in the same location? Did it work with the factory firmware?
The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Then don't do that!"

You need to give a lot more info than "1.6 something" for anyone to help. Just FYI, every radio on the Thunderbolt right now is "1.6 something." Also, you have one bar, but has it been better on the other radio? Does it drop in and out? Do you have data, or only affecting voice calls? What is your actual signal reading (in dbm)? Did you flash anything recently?
Kinda weird that you would give no info and get upset when no info is given back.

My radio is 1.1600_W1
The other radios are
1.12
And the leaked is 1.13
I flashed adrynalnye kernal test A.zip
Got 6-5 bars now.

My mistake. Glad you got it working. For reference, do you remember what kernel you were on when you had signal issues?

I'm not sure which kernel it was sorry.

Wifi or LTE troubles

so i happen to be in the wrong section for the HTC One X (International Verision) and i was reading a thread where alot of people were having wifi connectivity issues. So i tried to do what they were doing to replicate the problem (even though nothing happend, Pressing the back of the phone, checking for a faulty connection) Now that i tried doing it and they told me it has the LTE radio there instead of the wifi one, will my LTE suffer now that i tried it? i fear that i actually bent the connection pins.

Are you in an LTE area?
Didn't you mama ever tell you don't mess with things that aren't broke?

i will be back home tomorrow so yes, i will be. and yes my mama did. but like i said i was in the international section, and i thought my phone would be affect too.

The at&t one X only has one radio its built into the chip so I would say that if you have signal at all you didn't hurt anything.

If you get good LTE signal and speed when you're back in the LTE area, I wouldn't worry about it.
Makes me think of the old joke:
Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Then don't do that

The radio itself is built into the snapdragon S4 chip. It's the antennas you need to worry about
take a look at this http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/cr...rnal-design-that-isnt-diy-repair-friendly/594

Check out this thread. It has links to all of the radio firmware for our phone. Vincom has some really great guides for beginners. Hope that helps.

If the network in some place around you sucks , you don't really have too much to do about it ! try a different radio like the posts above suggested but don't expect miracles .... Reflash your current ROM might solve something ...

GPS not working HTC Sensation

Hi there,
I've made a search about the issue, and there are a few loose threads about this subject, but without convincing answers and definite solutions.
With that in mind, my problem is that the GPS in my HTC Sensation has not been working properly for some time now. It can be switched on, and it may remain searching for a signal for endless periods without success...
As anyone experience the same problem? And if yes, how have you sorted out the issue?
Also, it's important to say that I want the GPS to work in the absence of any data transfer from the network provider, for those occasions where I am "out in the wild" and want to check where I am on maps... and yes, it can be infuriating to be walking and waiting for a signal and nothing....
So, to all those who have the sensation, have you experience the same problem? And how have you managed to fix it?
Thanks
(also, I am using the CM v10-20130526 , the 4.1.2, with kernel version 3.0.53)

Oh boy, that is because all and none of those work. Depends on the individual phone, location, rom, etc. Try a few and check.
Best bet for me was to change roms

I have to admit, I was skeptical... However, it really did work, and I am now able to enjoy my GPS without data transfer from the network provider.

What change was made to make GPS work?
Hello, I hope someone is still subscribed to this conversation.
I have an HTC Sensation XE with an non-functional GPS.
My phone is a UK phone that I am using in California. The phone function works fine and other apps but cannot lock on any GPS satellite.
The US uses Eris GPS, not the same in Europe. Has anyone changed the software to make this work?
