replaced my TYTN with...

Samsung SGH-I600!
Amazing device:
Fast CPU
WIFI (reception is finally comparable to my laptop...)
BT
3G UMTS Video Call
Goodlink compatibility
Qwerty keyboard
Much smaller and lighter!
So far (1 weeks), it rocks! never had a freeze or crash, much more stable than my poor tytn

traitor!
looks like a downgrade to me. 200mhz processor, uglier phone with a smaller screen, only tri band instead of quad band.

I have to say the display remind me when I got my first sony vaio laptop:
it's amazing clear and colour brillant, the screen itself look alot more defined as problably have the same resolution but slightly smaller size (2.3").
The CPU is supposed to pretty slower but beleive me: you have to use it... it's damn fast!
I think you are wrong about the quad band: it support GSM 900/1800 + 1900 + WCDMA (3G + hsdpa).
Only lackness could be the touchscreen but I'm not really suffering... you know how much is confortable to use a real keyboard to dial your numbers? with the tytn you have slide the keyboard... resulting in trying to dial most of the time with the touchscreen dialpad: ergo you cannot dial without looking the screen..
I'm really satisfied so far.... except for one thing: i600 have not a forum on XDA ((((

By definition, Quad Band = 900/1800 + 850/1900, i.e. refers to the 2G and 2.5G specs. All of the tower spacing in North America (especially in non-urban areas) was designed around the original 800 MHz analog systems. When digital service (PCS) arrived, it was originally supposed to use 1900 MHz, but didn't work very well because the towers were too far apart, so the FCC (US) and DoC (Canada) opened up the 850 MHz spectrum for GSM.

But no thousands of games and applications and more released every day. No customising, no wow factor, a less powerful contact and calendar database. I'll never go back to a normal phone after using a Pocket PC.

you got to be kidding me
You replace the 'all singing all dancing' Herme phone for this
ah well small things for small people
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5545.html

Alright people, calm down, calm down.
I own a hermes, trinity, wizard, blueangel, universal, mpx200, c500, c600 and a sgh-i320
The trinity and hermes are definately very good at what they do but the i320 was an allround great phone.
With this, and i assume the blackjack and i600 they have deffinately crossed the boundry between normal phones and windows phones. With every other windows mobile i owned you always sacrifice something for having the windows on it. Whether that be speed or reliability or whatever.
These new samsungs are great phones though. And i would def recommend them to anyone over things like the hermes and stuff if they dont need the touchscreen.

I have to put in a plug for the Blackjack here as well. I used one for a few weeks before I got my 8525 (upgrading from an 8125), and I must say, it's a great phone. If you need a phone with PDA capabilities and can live w/o the touchscreen, it's probably the best choice out there. The form factor is nice and thin, the screen is amazing, and the 3g is nice. Having said that, after using one for a couple of weeks, I realized how much I missed the PDA functions of my 8125, so I decided to go with the 8525. I'll take a little extra bulk for the advanced features. It's pretty tough to knock the Blackjack, though. Great phone... just not enough for me.

with that great phone I could not use a wifi connection if AP wasn't in the same room of my *great* phone (is it wifi??? few meters (2/3) of max distance from the access point?)
with that great phone I could never make BT work with my car kit (audi Q7). Bluetooth keep disconnecting, and what you can find around are just workaround to make it work a little bit better
with that great phone I've experiend the worst stable a slow ppc device I ever had
I do not even want to discuss htc support in general and specially in italy compared to samsung one....

DUDE that thing is HUGE! tiny screen too! Feels like we're back to the 1990's! hermes is big, true, but packs a huge punch - in fact i call it the world's smallest laptop PC, not the largest phone out there. the samsung is just the world's largest mobile phone, look at that thing!

Errm.. you're forgetting: The UNIVERSAL is the biggest mobie around

[email protected] has officially launched

T-Mobile's [email protected] service has launched nationwide. The service enables users to make calls on Wi-Fi networks and to transition calls to and from T-Mobile's GSM network. There is NO additional monthly cost to enjoy improved coverage. All you need is a [email protected] (UMA) handset, a broadband internet connection and a Wi-Fi router. All [email protected] phones are support B and G. The T-Mobile branded Linksys/D-link routers offer 4 benefits over using your personal router.
Improved handset battery life when making Wi-Fi calls.
Voice Priority for voice data over other network traffic.
Tech Support can access your router for troubleshooting.
Get Security Key button allows for simple sharing of the password.
You can also add on an extra feature for $19.99 (single line) or $29.99 (shared plan) for UNLIMITED domestic calling for all calls initiated on Wi-Fi - even T-Mobile US HotSpot locations. These features are currently offered on a temporary promotion for $9.99 and $19.99 respectively.
This product should prove to be HUGE for anyone with in-home coverage issues or for people who make a lot of calls from home.

would the IP feature in the new 06 roms be able to be used with this new feature

WHY....I'll tell ya...!
It's a plot to get you to pay more for poor service.
PROs
1. "crickets in the background"
CONs
1. Most people work so they're not home between 8 & 6which leaves you 3 hours to use it.
2. To use it, you have to buy a piece of $#!+ phone.
3. How much will you talk in 3 hours...use your home phone.
Solution....switch carriers...!
I won't disclose my experience with T-Mobile but I was with them for over 5 years.
I switched to AT&T; the same device works totally different...better that is!

to each his own. I have the complete opposite experience. I love t-mobile. they are by far the cheapest. I have never dropped a call with them. the calls are loud and clear. I have signal everywhere I want to go. customer service has been great and my bill is always correct.
with at&t, the max a phone call would make it would be 5 minutes before it dropped. within that 5 minutes it would cut in and out bad. i had full signal. I tried about 40 different phone models so it was definitely the service of at&t. not once did they get my bill right in the time I had them. customer service and tech support was awful.
this @home service is a great service. for those that don't get good signal or no signal at a certain location, they can get this. you can use your existing wi-fi router. it costs nothing to use it if you just want it to deduct your minutes. or you pay a whopping $10 per line ($20 per family plan) to have UNLIMITED calls while using it. it will seamlessly move back and forth between wi-fi and GSM without dropping the call or anything. Sure there are only two phones out now with it but it just came out. give it some time and a lot of phones will be compatible with it. your argument about use your home phone is dumb because a lot of people don't have a home phone and/or they would prefer to just use one number for people to contact them with.

I also have no plans of leaving T-mo. ...................... best customer service ever and I have no problems with service, besides a few months back when I moved to a different local and I had no service at my new house ............... I called and complained so the nice rep. gave me 300 bonus min. and within a week I was getting full bars ever since at my new house, so why should I switch ............................. all they need now is some damn better phones
Now back to the question, would this new option in 06 work with T-mo. new service or is there too llittle info known about both features to give a definate answer

I liked T-Mobile and the pricing.
I had 4 phones, 2 in Florida and 2 in NY.
For the last 2 years in Florida....my service sucked!
I worked with T-Mo this whole time because of pricing.
T-Mo told me ... "They do not have to provide service" ... this came from retention. If T-Mo works for you, cool ... because at one time it worked for me. Now it doesn't work so I had to move.
As far as billing & CS...so far so good. I get 20% off everything except equipment and they paid my cancellation fees.
I still have my NY phones with T-Mo
As I stated earlier ... same phone, different network .... my cellular life is good again.
Until you're in a situation where your service continually doesn't work...you can't talk. I go to work and everyone could use their phones but me...even Metro PCS and it only works in a handfull of Florida zip codes.
The question still goes unanswered...why create a WiFi Home network if you have coverage....?
It's a shame that my cousin...a T-Mo manager hates to come to my home because his phone doesn't work.....

Look...I've got bars

one con that i think this has "no smartphone compatible"

I would probably go with it. where i live is on the bottom of a hill (a bit lower in elevation than the surrounding areas), so my signal is weak (too much interference). i ended up getting a phone landline through my cable company ($30 on promotion) along with internet and cable tv service. if I can switch my t-mobile to go to to ip (which is the same thing that my cable company uses anyway, except packaged in a nice box), then it just makes sense to cut the $30 a month and use one phone to do either.
plus with the cable phone, i have it set to forward to my cell phone when i'm at work, so a majority of my calls go straight to my cell phone anyway.
anyway, nowadays, most people don't really use a home phone and a cell phone. all my information and phone usage is done with the cell. this service would just improve my connectivity from home.

oh i agree that if you didn't have coverage someplace then you would have to switch. that is a given. but your other arguments were invalid.
plus now, you can use this [email protected] service in areas that you might not have signal. you obviously didn't read what I said about the service if you still asked why people would get this if they have signal at their home. well, if you don't have great signal, than this will help that. plus you can pay $10 a month ($20 per family plan) to have UNLIMITED calls while connected to hotspots. that alone will entice some people to the service.
if at&t works for you, that's great. my experiences with at&t is that the service was completely unusable. sure they had signal everywhere but what good does it do when you can't use that service. obviously it works better where you are so more power to you.

does gsm /umts have a weaker building penetration than cdma?

I have used 2 different cdma carriers, last one was sprint their in building was ok, i guess good enough to always have a signal... with tmobile the inbuilding has been a nightmare I just cant understand... i have full bars outside but no service inside of certain buildings.... is this due to the technology or is it just tmo?

It must be a perfect storm of bad circumstances where you are at that's all I could think of.

Well, if your CDMA carrier uses freqs lower than 1700 MHz, then they will have better building penetration.

the lower the frequency the better it can penetrate a building... since Tmobile 3/4g uses a high frequency, tough luck... AM/FM radio waves are the same way, granted you would never notice it but AM "travels much farther" because of the same theory, less resistance in the air...

It's not about air resitance but the relative wavelength to the speficied frequency. It's inversely proportional to each other.

If your having troubles with signal you might need one of these; after all, with an antenna like that you could probably get a signal on the Internal Space Station right?

"Air resistance" was a very loose and prolly bad term... you are correct though the longer wave lengths that higher frequencies require make it much harder to "penetrate" objects such as walls... a typical router or wireless home phone uses some band of the 2.4ghz frequency which is why you cannot stray much farther than maybe 100-200 feet from your house before it loses signal... same applies to bluetooth... keep in mind you do have to consider the strength of the actual signal that is being put out as well so its not like you can compare a cell tower covering a vast area at 2000mhz vs a small hand held device that outputs a 2000mhz...

Most mobile companies invest on higher frequency towers in cities and metropolitan areas while lower frequency in rural areas.

i switched my wife's phone to 2g only to use a different frequency and she still cant get a signal... but she was able to with sprint. i am still within my 14 days so I might have to return them.

T-Mobile probably has the worst coverage footprint in the U.S.A. Verizon has the best ("Can you hear me now?") Wherever the closest TMO tower is it cannot penetrate through whatever structure she works in. She could always use the Wifi calling feature and connect through her employer's wifi (if they have and will allow her to do that). Otherwise returning them is probably the best option for you; but you'll be missing out on a great device. Verizon and AT&T run primarily on 850, which has the best signal penetration due to electromagnetic wave propagation. TMO operates on 1700/2100 (3G) and 1900 (2G) so their signal will not penetrate structures as well as Verizon and AT&T. Sprint is operating on 1900, which is also subject to penetration issues due to the smaller wavelength of their signal, so if she gets that then they must have a tower closer or installed micro cells in the building she works in.

Nice, thanks for the reply, yeah it sucks to leave such an awesome device and such a great deal on 4 lines... but if I cant get a signal inside it will be pointless to pay for cell service... I will try to setup a router , i hope it works

As the G2x is my first T-Mobile phone I am not sure if it has better worse or equal reception phone vs other phone....I have read various reports on both sides, and it seems to be a toss up on what is the real story.
The Wifi calling I use quite a lot in house. Its a nice free feature.
I have found that energy efficient double glazed windows with their hi-tech coatings block the signal significantly. These are nice solar windows, if you are outside they will reflect heat at you yards away.
If I open the window I can get full 4G connection, close the window and I am lucky to get a single bar of voice only.
What others are saying about the frequency makes tons of sense now for how I see signal strength changes.
If you can not call out on a phone, its just a micro tablet, and you still need a phone. Switch carriers.

It has better 3G reception on 2100Mhz than other devices I have tried. Where I live is right on the edge of my carrier's 3G signal and it is going through a complex of condo buildings to get to me. The G2X gets a stronger signal than other phones I have tried here.

Cellular strength and throughput

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the OnePlus 8T's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.

I am interested in buying the T-Mobile version of this phone, but the only thing holding me back are multiple reviews of poor cellular signal strength. First reported on Android Police, but also lots of 1 star reviews on the T-Mobile site for the OnePlus 8 5G, which I understand has similar design and antenna hardware. Can anyone comment on cell strength, especially when compared to prior phones? I would be coming from the Pixel 3xl

The 8T has a vastly different design and way better reception. Check notebookcheck review.

Woah so I have the Oneplus 8T 5G TMO and so far I am indeed experiencing issues with 5G.
No calls can be made in a seemingly normal 5G connection at certain times.
dropping to 4gLTE manually may solve the issue however, this isn't always done automatically.
5G is buggy in my area with this phone currently.

I am having some wired network issue with OnePlus 8T. Here are my observations,
1. The issue is happening with my Jio 4G (Indian mobile service operator network)
2. This problem mainly happens with VoWiFi is active. Outgoing calls are fine, connects without any issue and no call quality issue either. However, 9/10 times when phone (Jio 4G SIM) is on a WiFi network & VoWiFi is active, any incoming call fails to come, caller gets to hear out of network message.
I have a second SIM Card, AirTel (India) and it too supports VoWiFi. It works absolutely fine, no issue.
3. Call Forwarding / Call Waiting service details fails with network error with Jio SIM, but working fine with AirTel.
On the surface, it seems like issue is with Jio SIM card / network but surprisingly it works fine when I insert the same SIM on another device.
I have logged a complain with Jio (service provider) regarding this. I am bit confused as is it the device or the SIM Card (network) to blame as same SIM card works fine in other device and other network (My Airtel) sim card is working fine on this device
Thanks.

The 5G connection has been cleaned up for me latest updates feel smooth and am excited to still unlock the bootloader and break free from T-Mobile's rendition of the rom.

Network performance under 4G is good, out of the box 8T supports fastest 4G standard & carrier aggregation. Internet speeds are excellent if or when network is upto the mark to offer it.

Lossing signal at random times without any visible explanation.
happens at least ten times a day.
OnePlus support was no help on the case
would strongly advise you not to buy this model.
hopefully will be fixed on newer models.

I know the question has nothing to do with this topic, however, I think this does not interfere in this topic.
Question: why would anyone want to voluntarily buy a T-Mobile version of a OnePlus device? Are there any positive aspects to this?
In my opinion, only disadvantages?
Is it cheaper?

T-Mobile have the OnePlus 8T+ for the same price, it is dust and water resistant. Being the only phone advantage. Also you can finance your phone, and trade in deals specific to T-Mobile. Also, out of warranty insurance coverage is you are up for that.

Been using this for a few days now and this is my favorite ROM out of the lot I've tried. Great battery, performance, and the customizations are fantastic. Appreciate it!
Tell The Bell

I get no cellular signal on my new 8T. Has anyone else had this problem? I am on Puretalk network and calls and messages work fine.

Question T'Eyes CC3 2K - Slow 4G Internet / Antenna Placement

Hi guys,
Quick question: what is the best antenna placement for the T'Eyes CC3 2K for best signal reception ?
My installer placed the 4G & Wifi 5G antennas sticked on the left pillar (driver side, under the factory cover, next to each other - like 2 cm apart) and the GPS on the same side a little lower towards the dash.
4G reception was pretty slow compared to the test I did on my phone in the same location (same carrier, using speedtest app)
Then I had my installer move the GPS antenna on the opposite side (passenger pillar), leaving the 4G and 5G/Wifi in place, next to each other on the left pillar.
Didn't see a big improvement ...
I am using a SIM card installed in the external adapter located in my glove box.
Do you think the 4G mounted next to the 5G / Wifi is causing the slow speeds ?
Or is it just the carrier / GPS & LTE bands available on the T'Eyes CC3 2K for my location ?
In the same locations, my iPhone is fast on 4g
Thanks again !

You're going to get a better signal and better speed on most mobile phones.
The modems are just better designed and usually support more frequency bands.
The same goes for 4g/5g routers. The throughput is often much lower than a mobile phone.
I get faster speeds tethering from my mobile to the head unit than I get by putting the SIM directly in the head unit.

Yes i was thinking maybe the smartphone has much better hardware for 4G/5G.
I will try to use the mobile hotspot for a few days and see how i like it.
Thanks for replying !

I was facing same problem and was wondering what i did wrong. In the beginning was thinking that the GPS antenna interfere (i put Cellular and GPS antenna in between 30 cm) but looks like i should get used with it

I am using a SIM card installed in the external adapter located in my glove box.
Do you think the 4G mounted next to the 5G / Wifi is causing the slow speeds ?
Or is it just the carrier / GPS & LTE bands available on the T'Eyes CC3 2K for my location ?
In the same locations, my iPhone is fast on 4g
Thanks again !

What did the seller suggest when contacted for support?

I didn’t contacted the seller. I went back to their recommended installer and ask them to move the GPS antenna on the other side.
Still same behavior afterwards.
I think it’s just the hardware and the limited GPS/LTE bands supported by it
If we think about it, our smartphones have all antennas crammed into a small case without any issues. It’s just better hardware.

Hi guys,
Quick question: what is the best antenna placement for the T'Eyes CC3 2K for best signal reception ?
My installer placed the 4G & Wifi 5G antennas sticked on the left pillar (driver side, under the factory cover, next to each other - like 2 cm apart) and the GPS on the same side a little lower towards the dash.
4G reception was pretty slow compared to the test I did on my phone in the same location (same carrier, using speedtest app)

This must be hardware issue, funny enough crappy YT57B very slow, fake parameters head unit had much better reception than my new Teyes CC3 6G, what a shame.
