Getting poorer reception than usual in my office! SOS 75% of the time!!!

bmwmpower · Thread Author #1 07-23-2009, 12:50 PM

Anyone else experiencing problems with T-Mobile reception lately? This has been like this for 3 days. Usually I'll get SOS only a few times a day in my office. For the past 3 days I rarely get a signal. I honestly am getting really frustrated. I'm on .282 OS and it's been fine before the last 3 days of horrible reception. T-Mobile you need a tower in Agoura Hills!!

Do you have wifi in your office?

Usually a neighborhood with lots of trees has bad signals, I get bad signal at one of my friends house. He only lives half a mile from me, and I live in an open area.

I have noticed this since Wed. morning. Data has been slow and sometimes no signal at all. Also i called my phone today from my desk, while looking at my phone with three bars, it never rang and went to voice mail. Tried again about a min. later and it rang fine.

If you do, use UMA but it won't work with a 9000. Do you have a Tmo device?

Ditto on that. Service has been a little spotty in parts and I've been stuck at edge / gprs near my work. Something is def going on...

Same here!

Havent had a signal problem since I got my Storm 2 months ago...all of a sudden this week..no constant EDGE...gets stuck on GSM or edge for a while.

did resets...on/off connections..and nothing...

Yeah T-Mobile is having issues I'm sure. and xrev13x, your problem is totally unrelated to T-Mobile. It's a common issue with unlocked storms. Do a search on how to upgrade to the 5.0/.151 OS hybrid. It's in the storm section. When I had a storm a couple weeks ago, I switched over to that OS and EDGE 24/7.

Yeah service has been spotty for me and I have an 8900. The UMA is a godsend but it's still annoying.

I used to have 'sos' 95 % of the time till last August in my office and at home. I work in Woodland Hills and so I switched over to ATT. Now I get 3 full bars in my office and even in the restrooms

)

Switch over to ATT and see the difference it makes. I was a T-Mo customer for well over 4 years.

How many cross posts on this same topic are you going to post?

Have you called T-Mobile and talked to them about your bootlegged Canadian phone and asked if they could do you a favor and troubleshoot with you?

Tell me you don't use regular gas in your M too.

bmwmpower · Thread Author #12 07-29-2009, 06:10 PM

As many as you'll reply to. And no, I haven't called T-Mobile to troubleshoot my phone. I'm not an ***** unlike some people

At the very most I would call to inquire about known network problems. If you don't like what I post, GTFO

That's a very good idea. I just might have to do that. I even downgraded OSs and still no dice. I will try my friend's AT&T sim in my own phone in my office and see if it makes a difference.

ok, I thought it was just me, I've only been having 1 bar sometimes 2 in my house.... The internet from my BlackBerry is super slow & I've been droping calls.... & I made sure I had good reception b4 I moved in here which was less than a month ago... I can't even call & complain unless I go outside because my calls keep dropping.
