Recent Problems w/ TMobile 9900 Radio.

**charlielefaux** · 12-07-2012, 01:15 PM

For the past two or three days the radio on my TMobile 9900 has had very poor reception. I can no longer connect to the cellular network when I'm home (no 4G, no BIS connection, often in SOS mode) and when I'm out elsewhere in NYC the browser loads pages incredibly slowly as does email.
I recently updated BlackBerry Application Resource Monitor but have no made any other changes.
I'm thinking this might be a TMobile issue, I certainly hope my 9900 radio is not at fault.
WiFi connects w/o any issues.

Any insight would be very much appreciated.
Long live BB.

If you have already rebooted to no avail it is either corrupted OS or a hardware failure. I would start by reinstalling the OS. Good luck!

I've been having the same issues out in NYC. . .a battery pull usually dose the trick. . .only to have to do again in an hour or so. . .T-Mobile is most Likely to blame. . .

I just did a clean re-install (loaded .714 again). I'll report back soon with my findings.

So far everything has returned to normal leading me to believe for whatever reason the OS is to blame. This is disappointing on many levels.

Not 'real' 4G, as in LTE... the 9900 is only HSPA+ capable, sort of 3.75G

More like 3.5G. Also the TMo signal is very irratic.

I agree the TMo signal is VERY erratic. I have also experienced the same flakiness over the past month or so. Reboots are required at least once a week.
