t-mobile - no service

[Guest andy-andy]

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? It has only just started happening on both my Pulse. But as soon as I put the sim card onto my nokia phone, there is full reception. What is happening??

yep ive noticed this too, i rarely hav signal at college yet my friends on t mobile cud b stood at the spot as me n theyll have full signal! also ive noticed it jumps alot from full to 1 bar to 3 bars to 2 etc even when stood still. i can only imagine its the phone, maybe 2.1 will fix it?

I've not had this problem before. It has only happened this evening. I have totally no service. Not a single bar. But intermittently, I will have full bar for a few seconds, and no service for most of the time. Really weird. Is t-mobile trying to update the pulse or something? I'm still on the original t-mobile roms but rooted.

have you selected prefer 3g? if you have untick it.

[Guest h3dshot]

mine does this regardless of being on 3g or 2g, i used to be on 2g all the time and signal used to be slightly better than that of 3g but then i realised 3g was alot faster at loading web pages etc so ive been living on 3g since then.

[Guest Azurren]

You can't compare 3g reception to 2g reception :rolleyes:

Chances are your pulse is on 3g and when you put the sim in your old phone it gets 2g

You can choose between 3 settings. Only use 2g (best signal, saves battery and slow internet) or prefer 3g (fast internet, more battery and generally lower signal) or leave both options off and it will connect to 3g when possible otherwise it will use 2g..

Hope this helps :D

thanks all. I wasn't refering to 3G or 2G data service. I wasn't even getting network reception at home for calls. But for some reason, it started working again this morning....

I've had the pulse since december last year, and the second one since march, and never had this problem before. It is really bizarre since nobody else was experiencing this problem, my 2 pulses must have both had a fault at the same time, and also started to work again at the same time too!!?

Maybe the problem was with T-Mobile and with the phone. :rolleyes:

I kinda confirmed the 2g/3g thing last night.

I was at a friends house and had practically 0 signal on 3g, switched to use 2g networks and got 5 bars.
