What's your dbm?
As a Canadian, I don't understand the issue. The KeyONE uses all the same parts of any other Android phone, no? I get great reception in Canada on Virgin (Bell).
In other words, and I'm just asking, is it possible that carriers can interfere with phones? IE Is it possible for a carrier to give preference to one manufacturer over another based on IMEI, or some other metric?
I wouldn't know. As far as signal strength I wouldn't think so but seems access to some features from the signal they can.
Well, we already know that unscrupulous carriers can interfere with consumer internet access, so I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't interfere with mobile traffic as well.
I think we can all agree that carriers have an undeserved monopoly and should be disbanded into a million pieces. ;)
Agreed. Sure they would love to sell you the phone too but the money comes from the service so why limit one phone over another if everything is the same except the name on it.
Absolutely not the case for a UK version KEYone on the Rogers Network in Canada so making blanket statements for all KEYone owners is irresponsible.
Show proof beyond anonymous statements on this forum.
While no Phone network would black list any phone. That would in the US bring on the wrath of the FCC. The fact is non supported phones while registered don't get the network updates as fast or at all. These little most no more than a few Kbs updates keep the connection up to date.
No blacklist but not all features (soup) for you.
wow, knowing all the VZ issues: (1) thx god I have ATT stock not VZ (2) TCL look very smart for selling unlocked via carrier rather than Amazon or Best Buy in Canada. (3) based on all the info on this board, US user, fair large population, want just pop up a sim and get it working without calling carrier to get proper set up, (that is why iphone got an edge). sell via Amazon/Best Buy may not be the best way to go.. (4) possibly that is why CDMA delay... carrier is not ready (VZ). So far not heard anything from Sprint... at least they come out said they would support keyone, hopefully that means less trouble for the user... (5) may be its time to forget CDMA - on its way out anyhow... stay with GSM if the coverage is not an issue for you. (6) I sort of understand why BB not get along with VZ and why ATT got the 1st iphone... just back in my mind... IMHO.
You must look trustworthy. I recall the time my bank processed a check that I had not signed!!! It was written out, with name and money amounts but I had neglected to sign it. I called them on the carpet. Since it was only for about $15 and was to the Seattle Times newspaper, they decided it would be okay to process it. I told them NO - it should have been rejected and I'd pay penalty or whatever but not to process checks I did not sign!
I look forward to pleasantly discussing with Verizon how to enable all things on my once and future Keyone. It should be, ahem, interesting.
Bought 2 of them today (CDMA) from Best Buy and will report back on reception. I will know at my office seeing as on my PRIV I get full 4G LTE.
Unless you take it your local Verizon store for help, and eliminate them as the cause, your really not being fair to keyone at all.
OP, you might missing proper APN setting, like Rogers in Canada posted on line...you need to get it from VZ. https://apn-canada.gishan.net/settin...rry_keyone.php
best luck.
is US only got two carrier using CDMA? VZ and Sprint? if it is so, TCL better pre-reconfig it send to those users as default (if they ID which carrier they are going to use, 3 setting, default APN, VZ and Sprint, since TCL already got US office, set up a config local location and send all the IMEI number along as white list after config... ). IMHO. There are many user - come from iphone possibly, don't want to go extra step, even it is half step.. they want like imac, two wires, one plug to the wall (electrical) and the other connect to the internet...reset to default, if anything massed up (or last known working condition).
You seem to be responding to the negatives, but not the positive comments. Some of the negative postings look like user error to me, but you'll need to decide for yourself. I don't perceive the disaster that you seem to.
Posted with my trusty Z10
received my last CDMA unit yesterday and today working on Verizon without a hitch only drawback is no advanced calling :(
There's a trick for that posted in another thread
Us cellular also uses CDMA. I don't think they have had a blackberry since the tour.
according VZ not needed
normally 110 to 114 phone will loose service at 118 or lower usually
well I did and also called vz tech support the phone is fully supported as far as calling and properly activated. they do not support advanced calling features wifi calling or hd calling and visual voicemail is not supported. In fact the native phone app on the phone has no voicemail box like the iPhone you need to manually call to retrieve your voice mail which in 2017 seems like an oversight. IMO
I guess I'm close to dropping in my house. Outside of get in the - 80
Agree completely. I see in many many instances, the gripes are based on user error and DIY.
It seems the phone does get less reception than my Priv or iPhone 7. I'm in the "trial" phase of the KeyOne. So far, I love the form factor and the keyboard.
Do you have a case on it?
No, sir.
