I flew from Austin to Los Angeles two days ago and have been unable to get a 3G signal since. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of to get 3G working again. I have a G1 literally sitting next to my Streak and only the G1 has 3D.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also, in case you were wondering, it's one of the beta phones that is unlocked for T-Mo.

Is that not one of the Streaks that was Blocked
I thought only AT&T beta phones lost their connectivity.
I have on of the unlocked versions that works with T-Mobile. The only thing that isn't working is 3G.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
In Austin Same issue. I don't know if I have ever had tmo 3g but I do no im on an unlocked beta unit.
Currently only edge with tmo sim
Have you tried forcing WCDMA only under the settings / wireless conrtols / mobile networks / network type ? It works for me in the UK - US may be different.
That didn't work for me. I also have one of the beta phones that works with T-Mobile, but I am not getting 3G.
Do you guys think T-Mobile killed the 3G connectivity now that the beta is over?
So I called T-mobile last night and got through to the technical support people. Sure enough, they "blocked the ports for the beat units". Sucks to be me.
BE WARNED: if you buy a beta Streak so that you can use it on T-mobile, you WILL NOT GET 3G.
So I got my new N7 LTE just before vacation. And like most which carrier to take. I saw a ad for T-Mobile international data plans. So here is a break down. Simple choice mobile Internet plan from. T-Mobile.
You get US data service based on how much data you want per month and price. The benefit you get is, T-Mobile provides free 2G service to a hundred countries. So I have been using it for the past week in st martin. And it has been working pretty well. While we know its not going to break any speed records, the internet still works. Skype also does work, I used it many times over the week, while the picture is not the greatest, it works. Guy Adams SMS mod also works, I have been SMS and MMS all week. The MMS and SMS is free on T-Mobile service as part of the plan. GPS is accurate and maps works as well. I didn't have voice directions but the dot moved and got me from place to place. You can buy 500mb 3g speed (last for 7 days) as well, which I did from here to try. It was faster and skype video improved as well.
I did have to activate roaming to work on the digicel network here. I am nervous about that, but I was told by a rep before buying that it will work. I hope im not going to see price shock in a month. Right now, my T-Mobile bill shows nothing out of the ordinary.
So if you are on a budget and travel, the T-Mobile service works well so far. Besides, if not we can buy a local gsm Sim.

For those with the lte version in the US straight talks tablet plan works great and cheaper if your only looking for light data usage. Im using their att prepaid sim and get good lte signal just fine. For $15 for a sim card and 1 gb data pretty good. Also do a 4 gb 60 day plan. Just an fyi for you. Merry christmas

I currently have their phone service, i have my unlocked HTC one M8, the service is great, only complaints i have is #1. 3gb of data goes fast if im using pandora and/or playing games while im off wifi, and #2, and this is the worst, their customer service is TERRIBLEEEE worst customer service i have ever dealt with, BUT!!! heres the awesome positive, since their customer service is so awful, they made a mistake i was trying to add another phone on my account for my cousin, and i was porting her number from MetroPCS, and they messed up, took my phone number off of my account, and for some reason, i havent had to pay for 3 months now and my phone has been active lol!!! the only downside is, i WAS using a ATT sim, however i switched to a T-Mobile sim, and the reception i get at my shop is pretty bad, if i have the Garage bay doors shut, i only get Edge for Data, however when theyre open i get LTE, also the Tmobile sim has much faster LTE speed than the AT&T sim, i was getting great reception with the AT&T sim, however my LTE was really unstable from 5mb/s to 30mb/s but rarely the latter, with the Tmobile sim i get 40+mb/s anytime i have LTE reception!
Other than that, the service is awesome, you cant go wrong with it, you can use Straight Talk with tablets, AT&T, Tmobile, and Even sprint phones!
im very happy with it, but i dont think ill ever have to pay a phone bill again! lol hopefully my sim card never fails
With all the chatter about the different issues in and around cell service, I'm curious if anyone has been using the Essential Phone with MintSim. I'm on Verizon now in New York City and have my own set of issues with the phone so was thinking about trying MintSim because it's cheaper and because maybe wifi calling would work which would come in handy for me.
Anyone using MintSim care to share where they are geographically, how service has been, if wifi calling works and if tethering works?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Just got it today. my first boot was to my mintsim sim (haven't even had the sprint sim in it). It picked up a signal right away
Yep, Mint works fine, wifi calling works fine.
Thanks for the info. I may give mintsim a shot soon. Do you recommend it? I currently have a pretty good deal as I'm part of a multi-line Verizon account paying roughly $40 a month for unlimited but don't need unlimited.

Love them. My first year is up in 3 months. I bought a year with an additional 20% off, so 5gb has been costing me only $22/mo.
Hey guys I need a new phone, currently I'm on an HTC 10, I can't switch my service provider right now. But I'm thinking about getting a oneplus 6t. From what I've read it will work on Verizons LTE network. Can anyone that is using this on Verizon right now let me know what you think/what your experience has been so far please???
don't know the bands in your area but it I can use apn just started playing with these I can use Sprint and T-Mobile with dual SIM thanks to conversion

Here is my situation, and perhaps its useful info for you. I came from Axon 7 to One Plus 6t. The Axon 7, while it worked on Verizon never was certified, and outside of custom roms, would have network issues. Day one on One Plus 6t, i had verizon service in rooms and places where i never did before. When you get a One Plus 6t activated on Verizon, they convert your sim card (digitally, so perhaps account would be more accurate) to what is dubbed CDMA-less. I have had worlds better reception and net speeds on the OP6T than i ever did on my Axon 7. (sd 820, similar experience to the 10). I say go for it man. You wont be disappointed. OP6t is a verizon certified device. The only places i have issues are BFE places that only have 3g. Hope that helps.
My experience with the 6T on Verizon has been really good. Solid reception in New York's capital district (upstate, but not rural), and activation was painless when I got the phone about a month ago.
Some worries about getting service in rural areas when we travel this summer, as in the past I'd only get 3G sometimes, but I'm going to throw my old phone in the bag just in case.
With Verizon's revised 3G sunset coming at the end of the year, I'd imagine they'll need to do something about the fringe areas that are 3G only, or risk disenfranchising the people who live there.

I'm in the NY tristate area and we have a cabin upstate in the Catskills all of the carrier's other then VZW have no service. My Samsung $10+ has only 3G while my OP 6T has 4G. Very happy with reception on (VZW) my 6T.
if I use T-Mobile in slot one and Sprint in slot 2 I get lte on both Sims but been playing with prl and apns to double the Mbps you have to fastboot erase modemst1 and 2 there's thread on it same way I've done every phone to sim unlock it motoz make sure you use right apn and slot you'll be good
I've had my 6T for about a month now, on Verizon, and it's been great so far. I work in Boston and live just outside the city and have not had any issues at all.
@kend0g whats good man, yea cmon over, the water is fine here. no CDMA, no problem.

I've had mine since release. No issues.
It's certified compatible. Just make sure you call support and have CDMA_Less added as a feature.
The phone will only do LTE, which I have not found to be an issue.

Wrong thread. This is use on Verizon.
6T on Verizon around Tampa Bay, FL and other areas in FL have been pretty good. NO worse than any other phone I've had with them on the network. Really think their service is overhyped.
My wife/daugters have iPhones, our reception is identical always no matter where we are if that helps. If their service sucks, so does mine, and when good, so is mine.

Question:
Does Volte work on the OnePlus 6T on Verizon?
I really like the specs on the phone but I would need to have simultaneous voice and data in order for me to consider purchasing it to use it on Verizon.
Thanks

Okay great.
Glad to know.
Thanks.
Now did you purchase your 6T from T-Mobile and had it when you switched to Verizon?
I plan to buy mine directly from OnePlus unless the T-Mobile version is unlocked to work on any carrier including Verizon, then I might consider getting it from T-Mobile.

I see your first question was answered already. The theory is that the T-Mobile versions are fully unlockable/convertible to the unlocked version. I say theory BC while I've known people who have done such (feel free to chime in @Harry44 ) and say it is fully converted, there is no guarantee that will remain the case forever. But AFAIK at present that is possible. I bought mine unlocked for fear of tmob versions having something to block Verizon.

I bought mine from OnePlus as well. I only purchase unlocked phones with no carrier tag attached.
I just switched to Verizon from TMobile. I was surprised when I saw that it can only use LTE. The prepaid plans are only on LTE anyways so it works out. The service is great! I had issues setting up an account due to their system saying that my phone isn't eligible for receiving SMS messages. The chat agents have created a ticket for it. I had to put my sim in my wife's iPhone in order to create an account. I am traveling this summer and no 3g is a little scary but honestly, an area where there is no Verizon service is just as fast as TMobile full bars of LTE. Overall 5stars from me (Dallas area).
