My OnePlus One is on latest cyanogen 12.1, completely stock and unrooted. I am noticing high battery drain on cell stand by (42%)
and of that 52% of the time there is no connection to carrier.
Is there a fix for this issue? My wife's Note Edge (SM-N915G on stock KitKat) has no signal issues with T-Mobile. but my OnePlus One show no connection most of the time. Is this a CM12.1 issue or is this a known issue with OPO and T-Mobile combination?
Appreciate the help.
Which baseband?
This could just be because of where you're located. The OPO only supports one of T-Mobile's LTE bands, band 4, while the Galaxy Note Edge supports all three, including band 12, which has much greater range and building penetration.
All of the recent T-Mobile commercials touting improved coverage area and better building penetration are based off of using band 12 on their newer devices which support VOLTE (voice over LTE). All of their new towers incorporate this band in areas that previously had little or no coverage (especially rural and suburban).
If you're in an outlying area with poor band 4 coverage your handset will be constantly trying to lock in on the weak signal and shifting from 3G, 4G, and LTE. Doing this also greatly reduces data transmission speed and reduces battery life.
If you're in an urban area with strong signal acquisition, then forget what I just said, you have another issue.
Hope this helps.
i used OPO on tmobile and it worked fine, depends on many factors including location, time of day and of course the bands used by the device.

I see from your profile that you reside in the UK. The OP doesn't list his, so I'm operating under the assumption that he's here in the states. My observations and comments in the post above yours, are strictly based on what I know about this device and with T-Mobile USA, as I'm unfamiliar with its operations in other countries.

Apologies, should have included location detail. This OPO is in Austin, tx so its metro area.
Baseband: DI.3.0c6-00241-m8974aaaaanazm-1
Cynogen version: 12.1.1-YOG7DAS2K1
Kernel version: 3.4.67-cyanogenmod-g9220ae3
Build: LMY48Y
Will I get better luck on AT&T with OPO?

You might, but I can't say for sure. The OPO supports 2 of the 3 bands AT&T utilizes, band 4 (like T-Mobile) and band 17. So you have more of a chance. Bear in mind, that AT&T is considerably more expensive than T-Mobile and that they have roaming agreements with each other, where if you can't get any signal for telephony you'll roam off the other's network.
Generally speaking AT&T has more coverage, because it's an older more mature company with a more established infrastructure. T-Mobile is more of an upstart, but is rapidly expanding with a newer technology. Like I said in the previous post, explaining why your wife's Note got so much better reception, newer T-Mobile devices which support all 3 LTE bands (2,4, & 12) get better reception and probably twice the coverage than what is possible with the OPO.
I hope this helps explains things.

Since stock 12.1 update, I've noticed mobile network keeps dropping and in return draining the battery quickly.
Thinking it's the update, I've installed custom 12.1 ROM, but the problem persisted.
With further searching, I've found fix here.

Goto APN settings, take note of current APN's.
Reset to defaults.
Copy previous APN values to currently selected APN.
Save then reboot phone.
If above doesn't work, try here.

Scroll down to LTE issues and try the method described. Just note that it suggest deleting other APN, but I recommend against it because it can interfere with roaming.

Thanks, so I am not the only one experiencing network connectivity issues. I do suspect this software related to some extent. Will try the fix and report back.

All phones can now get WiFi calling. Just download digits and sync it. Download it on your main driver and sync it. You can use the DIGITS to call using WiFi from any device using your number.

Hey guys,
I have been noticing, ever since the MM update came out earlier this year, development has slowed to a crawl for this phone. There are a few roms that look really nice, but are not really good as a daily driver, as some have missing functions such as Phone and Contacts, and other stuff is glitchy. But over on the international G900F forums they are overloaded with different great roms with tons of support and updates and all that good stuff. And looking at the difference between the Sprint G900P Galaxy S5 and the Unlocked variant (The G900F in particular) they have 95% of the same internal components, with the only difference being the Modem to communicate with the CDMA (Sprint) and GSM (every other carrier basically) Towers. This is the reason why the roms will boot, and everything will work perfectly hardware and driver wise other than picking up a signal for the Sprint Users.
So what I am asking is if there is a Developer out there who can compile a flash-able zip or something alike that includes the drivers for the Modem and sprint Libs. Or even if there is someone who has a background in this that could point me into a good place to start, I would be glad to do it. What does everyone think about this?
my question for you is why do you want this? I only ask because i was running MOAR 7.0 for my trip to Romania and Bulgaria this summer. I spent 2 weeks in a town 5 hours northwest of Bucharest and tons of town around Transylvania and a week down by the black sea in Bulgaria and my S5 was working perfectly on vodafone, never had an issue at all. Im domestically sim unlocked, but that shouldnt matter as the SSU apk should get you internationally unlocked and ready for use abroad. That being said, none of the international ROMs would give you an unlock for international or domestic use.

I think you read the question wrong (perfectly fine, i didnt really word it very well on my part). What i was asking is if there could be a universal patch to make the Sprint LTE and Messaging and all that good stuff work on an international rom. I think it is possible as there is currently something that is exactly that, except for Verizon (the G900V variant).

Oh, my bad. Well, sprint lte isn't going to work overseas. To get lte, you'll need to do quite a bit of finagling with an nv calculator, qpst and qxdm. You'll first need to fine out what bands the carrier you'll be using utilizes, get the nv figures that they run on and make some changes to the modem you have installed on your phone. That involves getting into the diagnostic port of the device and, well, there's a whole thread devoted to exactly that. Anyways, hspa+ will work without too much effort, and hspa+ is pretty dang snappy. Messaging will work right out of the box after registering on the GSM network(+1 to gsm ) MMS and data will work also once you've entered the correct APN settings. If you REALLY need lte, then you're relegated to some tweaking, but if you can live with 5 to 7 Mbps(which is all a phone really needs, unless you're tethering for a laptop or several tablets or something like that), then just do the hspa+ thing. I was happily able to tool along quite well on that streaming YouTube, Netflix, Google map navigating, etc etc without issue. The reason there isn't a universal fix is because it would take quite some doing to maintain an app to have all those apns and so forth, but that being said, the idoneapps apk does do that for the available gsm carriers in the states. I didn't use it abroad, but might be worthwhile to ask in their forums. The admin of that site "nodial" is an Android genius! Their app costs $35, and it won't add the lte bands, but if the lack of hassle is worth it to you, it couldn't hurt to ask him. He's on XDA also with the same nick. @Nodial, does your app do the APN fix abroad too?

Sorry, I'm not too much in the know, but I heard there is some sort of new update coming in the near future that will improve various aspects of the S7 like better in building reception etc.
So what do I need to be on the look out for? This deal from Target is pretty fair on top of my 5% Red Card bonus. Would this phone work with whatever update Tmo pushes out to receive the full benefits vs a tmobile puchased S7?

Nope, your link is for the international version, which won't get VoLTE, wifi calling, or updates. You want either the 930T or 930u. Anything else won't work properly.
Edit for clarification - The upcoming changes for the S7 are for more advanced LTE functionality. The extended range/building penetration are already in place, it's Band 12 LTE. The international version you linked will receive data on this band, but you CANNOT call/sms on it, as it's a data only band. The only calling/SMS that can be done on it would be on VoLTE, which you will not have.
So yeah, you'd be getting a crippled phone with none of the advantages you want.
In the last week, the rom maker below got a Note 7 port working on a 930f with T-mobile VOLTE + wifi calling + video calling. Assuming you root and want custom roms, there is an viable option in the international model.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-n7-rom-port-romcontrol-t3430358
That being said for the OP:
Why target, swappa is $200 less on either model.
The international model has no US warranty.
The international model is faster with a better battery life but is slighltly weaker playing games: having both for now, completely stock, the 930f is slightly faster feeling. On the other hand, it is like night and day to compare a custom/tweaked rom/kernel of a 930F to a engineering bootloader based 930t's stock rooted rom (the custom roms seem to remove video calls)
The US model (if root matters) has a root solution that can be negated in future builds.
The international model's root trips knox, unlike the US version, reducing the resale value.

Hello,
I'm getting a 7 Pro on Friday, and it will be an unlocked model. I would like a ROM that has the TMobile specific features intact (RCS, Wi-Fi calling, HD voice, etc)
Is there such a ROM??
Nope.

What a bummer. So you either go with T-Mobile features, or the unlocked variant??

What TMO features I wonder?
RCS that is compatible with other T-Mo users. If I use the stock messenger, I can use the "chat" features with any other T-Mo user with Android. If I use the international version, it doesn't seem that I do. Which is a bummer. I know I can use Google Messenger, but no one I know uses it. I do however, know a few people who DO use the T-Mobile one, mostly because they don't know about it, and just use stock.
I have had my T-Mobile version with a custom ROM for a long time now. I used the all-in-one tweak tool. For some reason the newer ones wouldn't flash I had to flash the old version 9.5.8 AA something. And then let T-Mobile do the updates. That brought me to 10.0 .02? then I was able to install ice Smurf kernel and no limits.. but no limits has been kind of spotty for me I just found out today that you have to hide the I'd? For no limits to get it to work correctly I hope. But the phone's been Rock solid I did at twrp back up as soon as I finish the updates. V o l t e & v o Wi-Fi has been working great. I have all the T-Mobile goodness without any of the bloatware. I highly recommend Smurf kernel. And high brightness mode when comparing to other people's phones. Lol no matter what I do the camera still kind of sucks but the video is really good.

You can use RCS anyways. Google released it for all skipping carriers because carriers were taking too long to implement into their own software. I'm using chat features RCS on my T-Mobile 7 pro running havoc OS
Yes, but it's only compatible with other Messages users, since Google uses UP 1.0, and T-Mo does not. So I lose the ability to chat with T-Mo Android users when I use Google Messages.
I am running open beta 12 on my t-mo variant and I have all the features working(rcs,wifi calling, VoLTE/VoWiFi ,etc). I flashed to international version the minute I opened the phone. Didn't even insert sim card until after I unlocked bootloader. This was day one about a month ago. No Issues at all
Note: i do use google messages app. I just like it over stock messaging app.
Well, people need to smell the coffee, Google messaging is the best Android messaging app.
I have found the latest version of crDroid to have working VoLTE and VoWiFi on T-Mobile. Can't speak to RCS.
I haven't been able to get WiFi calling to work on any custom Pie ROM yet. Haven't tested other Android 10 ROMs yet, but if I do, I'll report back.
In regard to my three v20 h910's i got, and the looming february 2022 3g deactivation from att, and the fact that no custom rom supports volte (i tested lineageos, it says lte until dropping to umts when you answer or make a call).
I've got no problem working on making stock more like lineageos, i at least have that option; and that's pretty great since now i'm rocking a debloated, signature spoofing, microg oreo stock firmware (and i'm also doing the same thing with MM 6.0 on my parent's g3's because same thing).
The point is going back to stock, does carrier iq have no more lingering apk's? Is it now renamed since att purchased that company? What's up with it?

Looks like i was good. Already got the att_iqi package removed.
I also added in a lot of extra data to your thread you quoted here that you'll most definitely want to go over.
EDIT: Looks like i was right, att acquired carrier iq in order to have carrier iq under att ownership. Many articles make it sound like att acquired and dismantled them. Yet it makes absolutely no sense why a company would purchase another in order to not use their new to them intellectual propery and new to them arm of business.
