hey everyone,
i switched to at&t from t-mobile about 3 months ago. i had the motorola q9h and for the first month my service was literally INCREDIBLE. i would get full 3g service everywhere, even elevators.
then all of a sudden it dropped off after a month. and i got full 3g only when outside and one or two bars in any building at best. at&t said it was my phone, and i was looking to upgrade so i bought the fuze (had tilt before) and its a great phone but my reception is still awful.
ive called tech support many times and they havent told me anything conclusive. i first activated my at&t account in chicago, then had tmobile for a bit, and this time signed up for at&t in philadelphia. i have the same issue in both areas.
anyone have an idea of what might be going on or things to try to fix this (other than a new radio) ?
Hey guys,
I'm new here, but not new to modding phones and all that. But, I have a problem that maybe someone can help me with.
I got this unlocked captivate off of craigslist a day or two ago, and I have been getting terrible reception on it. Now, I have t-mobile, but where I live there are hardly any t-mobile towerrs, and I ususally get about 1 bar at my house.
Anyway! I look at my phone settings, and I see it is only connecting to T-Mobile towers, which I don't want. Every single one of my other phones I have ever had has been connecting to ATT towers, since I have that roaming option.
I went to settings, and searched, and ATT and T-mobile show up, but when I choose ATT, it says my sim cannot register on that network.
I tried calling T-Mobile but they said that I should have fine t-mobile service in my area, and there was really nothing I can do since I have an att phone on their network.
well today I went over to my friends house up on the mountain, where I can only use ATT towers. Ususally on my other phones I get about half bars from that tower. Today I couldn't even connect to it, so I was left with a useless signaless phone all new years.
Basically, I am wondering if there is something wrong with the unlock, or if there is something I can do to stop it from saying "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" when I chose ATT.
Thanks for listening to my long ass post,
Brandon

its been 2 days
Bump again!
I would like to be able to force my wife's Skyrocket to Roam on T-Mobile.
Coming from Sprint my wife now gets really crappy reception at her work and is none to happy with me switching us to AT&T. I thought maybe something was wrong with her phone as it always showed 1 bar + 4G but her phone would never load a web page in her office. I tested my Galaxy Note and got the same results.
Her coworkers get 4+ bars on T-Mobile so I would love to give her the option to Roam at least when she is at work.
On Sprint we could load PRLs to do this but searching I was not able to find anything for force roaming on the Skyrocket.
Thanks
First, you would need to find out if at&t has a roaming agreement with tmo in your area-- and if at&t has coverage at all then probably not.
I have had T-Mobile for about 2 years now. 5 months ago I upgraded my service from prepaid and got the Samsung Galaxy S3. I have been having problems with my phone's data signal for the past several months. My phone will say that I have a very good signal and even say that data is being transferred but I can't get webpages to load or connect to email. While this has been frustrating enough for about the past month or so, my phone has now been having problems receiving texts and calls sometimes as well. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I know T-Mobile only has a few towers and they're in the process of upgrading them but this is ridiculous. Speaking to T-Mobile hasn't accomplished anything besides them saying they don't understand why I have problems are their systems show everything is fine with the cell towers and such. Is there anything that can be done about this? Or am I just stuck with not being able to use my phone downtown until T-Mobile either builds more cell towers or my when my contract expires in 1 1/2 years and I can take my number elsewhere? According to T-Mobile only a few people have experienced problems like me, I was just wondering how widespread it is since several of my friends who have T-Mobile have had the same problem as well.
I am considering switching to sprint from vzw, and obviously my biggest concern is coverage. I have a couple of old phones, a droid X and razr, and would like to flash one of them to sprint radios, not to actually activate and use on the network, but just to test coverage at home and work. Is this at all possible? Any ideas of where else to find information on this? I have searched xda as well as google but am not finding anything. TIA
