here is the start of the convo...
T mobile seems have blocked data for my S7 for no reason.....
Ok 1st off I want to say this just might have been a fluke but I wanted to post it regardless.
for the last month I have been using the s7 daily and using alot of net including creating a hotspot with it for my laptop at work to do our credit card transactions via paypal. It has been working flawlessly this whole time. Well come today I kept getting redirected to a T mobile page for log in. ( the mytmobile page)
So I started trouble shooting the problem, including changing sim cards, ( that got the s7 getting data ) I also did a factory reset and that did nothing but delete my stuff. The weird thing about changing the sim cards is I took mine and put it in my girlfriends phone ( HD2) and it worked just fine there and her sim card got my data on the S7. After this I put the sim cards back where they go and lost data on the s7 again.
I called t mobile and I swear they have a clan of the "missing link" working for them ( apes ) 1st I got nothing but people who could barely speak English. ( btw I know my spellings sucks but I can talk correctly and you can understand me ) So trying to work thou a communication problem was frustrating enough and 2nd they kept telling me everything was fine on there end and it was my phone. Of course I had to argue with them and tell them the trouble shooting I did. Finally I got someone who checked my imei number. and then did something but said it could take up to 2 hours before I get my data back. This is very frustrating because it effects our business as we use our data on our phones for running credit cards and doing our business facebook and twitter updates for specials ect...
Personally I think they just blocked my data for one reason or another ( maybe because I was using a lot of data and not on one of there phones ) dont know...
Have any of you had any data problems with t mobile? Any sujestions as to what this might be would be great thanks...
this is a post from the other forums about this...

I knew it was too good to be true. Read the thread.
Sorry guys!
Mods: you may want to unsticky this as it is now causing problems.
I think everyone who has t mobile and this device should send an email to Robert Dotson (CEO of T Mobile)
[email protected] & [email protected]
I sent to both since I dont know if one is being used and one not ect.
anyways I think people should at least send emails to him and ask for support on this issue...
Got the 6p and saw in the settings tap and pay and got excited . However I tried to find Android pay and couldn't so then checked on the playstore and it not there for me (UK). Found a link to it off a YouTube video and it says that it is not available for my country
Anybody know when it will come out or possible way to work around the issue.
Google have released absolutely nothing on it, and I cant find any alternative method either except bPay for barclays users.
I think this is partly because nearly everybody has a contactless card in the UK, it's not going to be a pressing issue for most users, and I don't think too many people use Apple Pay over here either
I have both the Moto E4/E4 Plus on Sprint. Both phones do not stream many music stations in TuneIn and XiiaLive apps, it kept saying network unreachable(not all stations but many), also I use an app called Webcam Viewer Pro to monitor my webcams from home, this does not work at all, same network unreachable error when I open up the app, The weird thing is if I connect my phone to wifi network, all would work fine. I also tried to put in my FreedomPop ATT LTE sim in, that works fine as well. So it does look like I have this problem only when I put in the Sprint sim in these phones(e4/e4 +). Does anyone have seen this problem if you have this phone? Or if someone has this phone, would you mind to go to the Play store to install these apps and try to see if you can duplicate this issues? I have contacted Sprint to no avail. They kept telling me to contact the app developer for this, since other stuff just working fine, they refused to go any further troubleshooting for me, even though I i told them i dont have this issues if i switch to wifi or another carrier's sim.
I am going to be blunt...some friends of mine are having some issues in their marriage due to one of them having a porn addiction and also just using their phone too much so they came up with 5-10 apps they want to be able to use and don't want anything else to be usable including browsing the internet. Being their most tech savvy friend they turned to me for help.
He had an iPhone 6S Plus and it was very easy to set it up to lock down apps and even prevent web browsing even if he did manage to get a browser installed via Restrictions.
Unfortunately his phone recently died out of warranty and his wife had an old Galaxy S4 anyway so was due for a replacement. Their carrier (T-Mobile) had a special on Galaxy S8's for a buy one get one free so they ordered two of those to replace his non-working phone and her old one. (not relevant to the question, but I also have T-Mobile and took advantage of that deal too)
I have tried and tried to find a way to do those things they want on Android but am not having any luck. Most of the stuff I see for Restrictions on Android are for people wanting to put THEIR phone in like kid mode prior to handing it to their child. Other apps like Norton App Lock work for some apps but not all apps are listed and for example doesn't allow restricting the built in internet browser.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would download applock from the Google play store. Let's you lock apps and then a pin is needed to unlock. I use this one

I never needed this function, but see what Secure Folder can do for you.

Anyone facing this problem? My google pay is inconsistent when on public transport and in retail stores.
Could it be software issue?
Can you type Oxygen version, root or no? And can you find in Google play settings certification of you device?

Also having problem with my NFC with public transport.
Never work for public transport before, but ok with retail payment
my is Oxygen OS 10.5.10.IN11AA, no root.
not sure if this is the Google Play Cert
Version 20.6.19-all [0] [PR] 316598174
OOS 10.5.10.IN11AA
Google Play Services Version 20.21.17
Google Pay Version 2.111.306
I tried toggling on the '' non standard NFC tag support '' in developers option. Doesnt work as well.
Many op8p users also faced the same problem in my country.
Tried re-adding my cards several times, cleared cache of google pay,google play services,google framework.
Downgrading app versions.
On public transport, my phone just vibrates and will prompt " does not work " or " move closer ". Never worked, receiver receive nothing.
In retail payment, it worked about 90% of the time with 10% requiring to tap twice.
I have similar issue.
- I use polish banking application that uses NFC for contactless payment.
- In retail payment, 90% of the time is successful, 10% requires to tap again.
- In vending machine almost every payment is rejected (I got 1 successful payment but I can't reproduce it again). I used same banking application on my xiaomi mi8 with same vending machine and worked good.
- I tried google pay and it doesn't work too (at least it shows some error on screen)
- no root, oxygenos 10.5.9.IN11BA
In conclusion it's not a problem with google pay but with nfc as other payment apps have same problem.
IIRC on the teardown video, the NFC chip is in behind the camera. It's maybe in too deep inside the phone for it to work correctly everytime.

Came looking to see if I was the only one with an NFC issue
Mine has been working perfectly since I got the phone, then yesterday I went to use it at a POS in a shop and it wouldn't work......move closer/slower etc. so I used my bank card itself.
I got the train and said I had low balance when I got off so went to top up my leap card (Irish transport card) and it fails the second it tried to read the card.
FYI I have sucessfully topped up my leap card dozens of times on the phone.
Next I went to get something to eat. I tried using it at the restaurant POS and worked first time, no problem.
Then this morning I just tried using it in shop POS and everytime it pinged and gave me a tick mark and showed the card as if it completed OK but the shop unit did not register anything (I also know the transaction did not go through as revolut did not show the transaction). I used my bank card and it worked.
I have just tried my leap card again and it is still not working.
This is very frustrating as I use NFC payment everywhere.
Anyone know if I can see logs for the NFC chip?
Why did it suddenly just stop working, I haven't had any updates.
Running Oxygen OS 10.5.12.IN11BA
Play services Version 20.33.14(120400-327249014)
Google Pay Version 2.116.328438545
Not had this problem before, could your case be the cause? Or anything else in your hand?
The range has impressed me with mine.
Currently rooted and using xXx and Gpay is still good.
It looks the oneplus 8 pro nfc chip is very weak. For me the strongest signal is under oneplus logo on the back. I found out the nfc chip is under the keypad at vending machine (not under display). Now to make it work I must keep my phone very closely to the terminal.
I need to get close on a number of NFC readers...no biggie.
