Title: Mobile phones... HTC One - can anyone explain possible issue??
Post by: GE90 on June 23, 2013, 09:31:03 pm: Hi All

Would appreciate the thoughts of anyone who can help!!

After years of Blackberry's, I decided to make the switch to Android, and bought an HTC One. Great phone, but the internet reception did not seem as good as my 9900 Blackberry. A SIM card swap, then a new replacement phone later, and it still doesn't seem quite as good. My wife has a Galaxy S2, and that browsed the same Google searches that failed on mine today. Both O2.

Any ideas? What I don't understand is that sometimes I have G or H showing, with all/some bars, but it still struggles to browse simple pages/run simple apps, such as ebay.

Please help before I throw this in for a Q10! Just to add, at home, not on WiFi, I ran a speed test on mine, and got better results on mine. I also opened the same pages at the same time, and mine was faster. It just seems that out and about mine struggles, when my wife's phone just about seems to work!

Thanks

Swap you for my xperia z :happy2:

I can sit in my living room both me and mrs on giffgaff ill get full hsdpa she gets gprs. My s3 picks up signal better than the 4s.

Samsung S4 or Note 2 worth considering?

Iphone or s3/s4/note2 I would recommend.
