hey does anyone who owns a Samsung Galaxy S G4 experience a number of web or data drop?? You be on the internet for not even 5 minutes and suddenly the web drops and you have to turn the mobile data off and on so you can get it back and running? This is so annoying, is anyone experiencing the same??
Seen this on multiple forums with multiple devices. Think its a t mobile issue.

Anyone else having a problem with the NxS jumping between 2G/3G network all the time?
I tried 2G-only and it seems the it does interrupt connection less often, but it still does. I'll exchange the sim card tomorrow to rule out the last option (I can think of) I got before returning the NxS and asking for a replacement.
(i9023, stock rom/kernel/radio, tried 3 stock roms with diff radios (KA3, KB3, KD1))
Maybe anyone got an idea or a hint.
Sounds like ur in a weak 3g area so it keeps goin back to 2g

Granted I'm not in the best 3G area, but I usually get 3 (of 5) bars in 3G and then it just pops back to 2G.
Might be network pumping (or w/e it's exactly called), gonna exchange the sim anyway to track down the problem further.
Are u on orange in the uk

I have this problem aswell. Thing is 2 3g bars are way faster than 4 g bars. I cant change it to use only cdma in the service menu. Anyone know why.

So does change of simcard help?
I got it fixed for me. I tried n3 and n5 sim cards, no changes. Problems were caused by faulty antennas, after being fixed by the carrier problem was reduced to a minimum. Now to get rid of the so called network breathing, which is a problem of the used communication method itself aka can't be fixed. University ftl!! Simply too many smartphones

Hi,
I have been using channel 13 on my wifi and winphone for almost a year i just updated to os 7740 bootloader 5.1 on my htc pro 7 and noticed after about 2hours of trial and error that it no longer picks up channels 12 or 13.. is this normal behaviour as it use to pick it up previously. infact it was picking it up after the update untill i enabled internet sharing after i disable it and the wifi restored my network disappeared..
thanks
Hey,
I think I've the same issue like you with my HTC HD7. If I wanna connect to my WLAN (channel 13) my phone wont connect. After change to "1-11" everything is fine.
I've no idea why... :-(
I've done abit of research on other devices and im seems these channels are illegal in the USA so I think that is why we can't use them what I dont understand is why it worked fine on everything below the 7740 update and why it dosnt realise where not in the USA. I've ended up switching to channel 1..

Anyone using a nexus 5 on T-Mobile in the NY city area getting very bad reception I'm not sure if there's an issue with the device or tmobiles service coming from an HTC one that had excellent reception I think there might be something wrong with my device

Are you getting excellent HSPA+ reception, but the phone isn't switching to LTE or connects to LTE, but jumps back to HSPA+?
Go to a T-Mobile store and tell them about your situation (don't chat with them online because that did not fix my situation). The rep that I spoke with called tech support and they did some sort of reset on my account. I also asked for a new SIM and was given that new ISIS SIM. As soon as my phone booted, it was on LTE and stayed on LTE. I was like you, thinking that my device was messed up, but T-Mobile fixed it.
No if you check the discharge chart I posted the phone is just completely loosing service but I haven't tried getting a new Sim yet I'll try that and see if it helps

I'm having connectivity problems as well in Dallas. Very spotty connection, especially inside buildings.

I'm in NYC (East Village area) - I'm generally on LTE but it does switch to H from time to time. How can I check connection on my phone like you have in your screenshots?

If every other phone you had before this one had much better service I would suggest getting it replaced with mine if I walked inside just about any building even single story stores and homes it would loose signal

The problems you describe were while using T-Mobile on a Nexus 5? I've only had T-Mobile service about a week now, before that I always used AT&T on samsung android phones (S4, Note II, etc). And service was always very strong on AT&T.

Anecdotally, I'm having terrible reception in NYC as well. At home and in the office, barely one bar, frequently none.
Over the past 2 years on an HTC Sensation 4G, have typically had no reception problems in these same areas - 2-3 bars at all times.

I've had T-Mobile for years and never had connection issues as bad as this so im hoping it was just a faulty device and not the device in general just getting poor reception

sounds like the same issue im having ill update when ever i get my replacement to see if anythings changed
We have the same issue with Nexus 5 with Tmobile in greater NYC metro area. When i tried with my old Samsung mobile there is no issue and it works fine. The problem, I can't make and receive any calls. Most of the callers told me, it goes to voice message after couple of rings. I didn't get even single ring and voice mail message. Frustrating Nexus 5.
My friend and I have the same problem too.
Both 16gb White
What colour of nexus 5 you guys have?
I see some have white, maybe white causes this issue??
Having the same issue as well. I have a 32gb white model and I randomly lose all bars when my friend calls me. It is very random and only happens a few times. Going to go and switch out the SIM from T-Mobile and have them reset my line and see if that fixes the problem.

32GB black with miserable cell reception here, so not a color issue.
Maybe an LTE issue? Might explain why our old devices got better reception, if they were using older gen signals/antennas? Not that we'd want to in the long term, can we disable the LTE services and live off the previous gen, at least to test?

I get lots of complete dead drop outs too, even on Wifi. One moment cruising along, the next I'm disconnected, the next I'm back on. Something is not right with this device.
Hmm I need to also find some time to visit a t-mobile store and check out why my reception just drops and gets spotty all of the sudden sometimes.
I have the 32gb white model. I never get LTE while two of my friends with Nexus 5 that were next to me both got LTE.
I also had my signal drop to 0 in a starbucks before, and I never had that happen with my previous Nexus 4, was frustrating since I couldn't get the promo code for my starbucks reward drink x.x
Ok guys Google is definitely on its game with replacing your your nexus 5 placed my RMA Sunday night got it today and I can report my new phone is working as it should I wouldn't say it gets as good a signal as my one did but a minimal difference that you would expect between two different devices so if your having an issue call up Google tell them you already spoke to T-Mobile about your service issues and they couldn't help you and that your certain its a device issue as a side note their RMA process has you basically buy a new device and send them the old one
Also I had a black 32gb so I don't think the color matters

After my research, When we switch back to 2G (GSM Only) option there is no issue with voice calls but the data speed is very slow as expected. It seems that there is an issue with T-mobile towers LTE/3G/4G for voice calls. Below is the problem with Sprint network, looks like same thing happening for Tmobile.
s4grudotcom - sprint lte connectivity issues due to circuit switched fallback technology.
If you need voice calls high priority like me, give a try to switch GSM only.it shows E network on signal bar.
Hii all,
I am facing some weird problem with my one plus one,
1)First i am not able to get 3g connectivity..Every time the phone latch on edge network even in 3g circle....Anyone with same issue? any solution?
2) And also I not able to connect the phone to pc, Is there any driver require for phone?
if you're using the Chinese OPO then you need to see this post:

The Chinese version still doesn't have the hardware for T-Mobile 3g, just some of ATT 3g.
