Tilt2 3g on TMo ? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

So I went to TMobile today and switched from ATT, and I'm wondering can I get 3g still? I know you cant with the European TP2, but dont know if it would work with the Tilt2 since theyre both US carriers. Not a big deal if I cant, still worth it for the $$ Im saving, but nice to know

No you can't get 3G with the Tilt2. If you're happy w/ EDGE I don't see a reason to upgrade unless you find someone willing to swap with you. Are you in a confirmed good 3G coverage area? I believe Toledo just got 3G not too long ago so your city might not have full 3G coverage yet.

Yeah, Toledo's got 3g, when with ATT I could get it just about anytime, in Toledo or Indy. Like I said though, not a big deal. I hardly ever used it when I had it so Im not really losing anything. Thanks

You went to the Google I/O?! I wanted to go so bad man. Ugh. xD Btw, why don't you have Qik, you can set it up from the phone itself. Its very very easy. If you need any help let me know.
Where do you buy I/O tickets? I want to go next year.
Im FROM Puerto Rico, not living there though.
I'm from PR, living there atm, just switched over to Sprint... Any of you guys been w/them for long?
To be honest, I haven't even opened Quik yet! I got my phone on Monday (ordered online to take advantage of a StudentRate discount) and I really haven't had much time to play with it. Will post back when I've messed around w/Quik, might try rooting it as well tonight or tomorrow... New to Android, been trying to read up on stuff here and there and catch up.
EVO in bayamon. The phone is very good but the Sprint network not so much. With a 3G usb modem from AT&T I get close to 2Mbps in most places but with Sprint it stays around 200-300Kbps. Only in some places I have hit what seems to be a cap of 1Mbps. During the 4th weekend I saw the phone roaming a couple times while in the south-west area and DATA was almost unusable.
Hows the network behaving for the rest of you?
Evo from Bayamon! Too!
my Qik is NeoDark
It's behaved fine for me, I haven't had any signal issues around the metro area 'cept at home and AT&T had weak reception here as well. I live close to Bayamon, behind Buchanan, in Tintillo... At the front end of the house reception's fine, at the back end (in my room) it's borderline (data's unusable, but I can just use WiFi so it don't bother me).
I've seen it roam (I'm guessing on Claro's network?) ocasionally, when at home or at Plaza Las Americas (where everyone gets spotty reception) but it's been solid otherwise.
I haven't really bothered testing my 3G speeds... I wouldn't be surprised at all if AT&T had better peak speeds tho, that's usually the case in the US, and I'm guessing that just like over there, they have a better built-out network here as well... I've heard over in the US they can be more inconsistent tho, or have more blacked out areas compared to VZW/Sprint (and then there's all the issues they've had in dense places like NYC and SF).
I'm happy with the service overall, and I haven't even accepted the OTA patch w/the new radio updates... I wanted to root and get it via an updated ROM but I haven't had the time to do it. Looking forward to vising a friend in Aguadilla to see how the EVO and Sprint behaves elsewhere around the island.
Oh and btw, if you're comparing the AT&T modem speeds to tests done on the EVO itself, that's kind of a skewed comparison... The modem's always gonna win out. Try tethering the EVO and see what you get, you don't need to root it to do so, you can use PDANet.
I think Sprint might do some mayor upgrades in the next year in PR. Maybe even roll out wimax/4g. As far as I understand they dont have that good coverage right now and depend on other CDMA providers for roaming. They can use claro or centennial for roaming but that can change in the near future.
Claro is already running on GSM and I dont see much benefit on keeping the old CDMA network up. Running both CDMA and GSM must have costs and Sprint must consider that claro might decide to shutdown their CDMA network in the future.
Centenial runs on CDMA but now that they were sold to AT&T its not clear whats going to happen with their network. One of the conditions imposed by the FCC/JuntaReglamentadora is that AT&T must keep the CDMA network for at least 26 months before merging or shutting it down.
With all this happening I would expect Sprint to play it safe and upgrade their network all around.
anyone knows more about this?
I have no clue, but it's possible Sprint could end up buying some of Claro/Centennial's CDMA towers and equipment if they're gonna transition to GSM 100%... Would only make sense. Doesn't matter much to me, it's not like I've got many other national carrier options besides AT&T and Sprint, 'least not until T-Mobile finally decides to deploy 3G down here (it's taking them waayyy too long). So I'm alright w/Sprint as long as the service doesn't start outright sucking... I switched to Sprint from AT&T mostly for the EVO, got tired of waiting for AT&T to release a decent Android phone, and after they capped their data plans at 2GB there's no way I'd go back to them and start paying more for less minutes and less flexibility.
I used up 1GB of data on my first month with Sprint and I wasn't even doing anything particularly fancy, no video chat, no big downloads, no music streaming at all, no tethering, nada; just web browsing and viewing maybe half a dozen YouTube clips a week. I've also been using WiFi religiously while I'm at home (to preserve battery life). I could easily see myself blasting right past 2GB of usage once I start doing any (or all) of those things
exact same situation here. got tired of AT&T and their half-assed attempts at offering good phones and their customer service leaves you feeling they do the minimum required to get by. I switched for Sprint for the EVO and many references from people saying Sprint's customer service is good. So far I have no complaints besides the "$10 premium data charge" scam:
explainthefee.com
I was just told by a sprint rep today that we will not be getting 4G for sprint it will be a while before we receive 4G so people start complaining

[Q] Thinking about switching carriers (T-Mobile to Sprint)

Alright. So I've searched the forum with no luck, so I'm asking (if I've missed something, please point me to the right thread and quickly close this one).
I currently have the Galaxy S 4G (t-mobile) and am having second thoughts about my carrier. I found out that I had a discount with Verizon through my job, but even still the plans are ridiculously priced (in a bad way). Since I was exploring an alternative I figured I would check out Sprint. Not only was I impressed by the plan prices, I was very impressed by the Epic 4G Touch (and the Nexus S 4g also). This has me thinking about switching to Sprint.
Now, I live in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. My biggest concern is that I may lose a tremendous amount in coverage and quality of signal. Has anyone here switched from t-mobile to Sprint? And if so, how was your experience? (All of you please chime in, but especially if you live in Norf Cack).
I live in Virginia and I frequently travel to Atlanta and New Orleans. Sprint is ok, but I want to switch to a GSM carrier. My main issue with Sprint is the already installed 3G network. It's the worst of all of the 3G networks and they claim to improve the network in the near future(network.sprint.com). I have been waiting since the EVO for an improvement and everything is the same. The best Sprint phone radio wise is the Photon. The E4GT and the Nexus S 4G has bad radios and I have tested all three. I currently own the E4GT and it's the best looking phone by far, but I recommend sticking with Tmo or jumping to big blue and getting a phone from Craigslist if you want a new one.

One thing everyone must keep in mind is Sprint-Verizon and Att-Tmobile have roaming agreements with each others; if you have a Sprint phone make sure you place it on Automatic and update the PRL, this will resolve your issue, if you can get excellent Verizon signal, your Sprint phone will work; this is something each carrier do not promote to us.
Most carriers (except for verizon) have slow data (Sprint) or spotty coverage (AT&T/T-Mobile). Sprints phones are great if youre in a WiFi area you can make calls and get internet with good speeds.
I recently switch from T-Mobile to Sprint. I used to have the Samsung Vibrant and own the Epic 4G Touch now. So as a previous T-mobile customer and current Sprint customer, I will give you my .02 cents.
I've had Sprint for about a week now, and to be honest, I love it. I wasn't too sure about making the switch, mainly because my friends had sprint phones and my T-mobile Vibrant on 3g averaged around 3mbps download speeds while my friends Epic 4G averages 1.5mbps download speeds on 4G. So thats twice the speed on T-Mobiles 3G, but after playing the the Epic 4G touch, you really can't tell much of a difference. 3G, even though slow than t-mo's 3G, seemed to load up just as quickly, and 4G, even though slow too, actually seemed to load up pages faster. Even when streaming music on Google Music, the 4G connection on my Epic 4G touch loaded up the music faster. Another thing I enjoy about Sprint is that they don't throttle your speed. Last month I went over 5GB on data on T-Mobile and got throttled. First time ever i got throttled. You read about it all the time, but actually experiencing it is a different story. It sucked. One thing i did notice, 4G for Sprint is spotty. I do get it in my house and at my job, but while driving around I seem to lose connection randomly. Another thing is you can't talk and use data at the same time, but I don't really do that.
Another major influence on my switching to Sprint, is T-mobiles murky future. The At&t acquisition wasn't my favorite thing to happen, but it doesn't seem like it'll go through. DT didn't really have a plan B for T-Mobile USA, in fact they aren't really interested in a US market anymore. One possibility for T-mobile was partnering up with cable companies but Verizon's deal with comcast, time warner and brighthouse basically blocked T-mobile from going that route, so T-mobile will probably not have much of a future left in the states.
Like you I was also looking to switch to Verizon, but as you said, prices are ridiculous. It would've been fine for me for one line, but I have a family plan and that just adds up more costs.
So far i'm happy with Sprint. Plus they have 4G LTE planned for the future, so might as well lock yourself in on their unlimited plan before they start follow Verizon and At&t and tier their data.

I have the roaming setting on automatic and I have talked to Sprint about updating the PRL, but i don't have call issues like I have data issues. I don't talk on the phone that much, but I can make calls. The data is what I was referring too, which happens to be subpar.
I also switched to Sprint from T-Mobile. I'm in southern Texas (Corpus Christi) and I've had zero problems with Sprint. My loaner Evo 4G was great, good 4G coverage around here although the Evo's battery couldn't really handle that; my minimal contact with customer service has been mostly positive. There's nothing fantastic about it (except my amazing phone), but I can't think of any real negatives so far, either. I'm about three or four months in.
I also switched from T-MO to Sprint. I'm in Nashville, Tn. Got the Epic Touch 4G. No complaints so far. Speeds seem pretty decent. My bill is even cheaper with 2 phones than it was on T-Mo.... So far, everything has been flawless.
I just went over 5Gb for the first time. Received the message earlier today. Speed dropped from 7Mb to 56kb.
So I'm looking to switch to sprint too now. Are they still offering any incentives?
very tempted to make switch as well, using a nexus s on a local carrier only paying $56 month to month. Nice thing & bad thing is I can switch phones at anytime. Unlimited data/texting only $14.99, speeds vary anywhere from 1.2mbps to 6 or so. Becoming tired of switching phones every other month, really havent found something that I like.
Sprint receive a discount of 25%, leaning towards the iphone 4s. Android and rooting is just getting old to me. Sprint bill comes out to roughly $62 plus tax. Sprint in the area is pretty solid as well, but there 3g speeds could be a deal breaker.

Damn, that is a major drop after going over the cap. Check out how Sprint service is before changing though. Many people get no 4g at all. I do and its great but many have never even had a chance to use it

I'm one of those Sprint users that's never used 4G. But with the E4GT and Sprint's low prices & unlimited data, the supposed slower data speeds are totally worth it.

E4GT'n & lovin' it
I've been with T-Mobile, at&t, and now I'm with Sprint. I didn't have a data plan on T-Mobile so I won't compare that to Sprints. As far as phone signals and dropped calls I say they're pretty much the same depending on where you live. I just happen to live in a city that's good with T-Mobile and Sprint so I've never had a drop call yet. I get more lost of signal on my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint) but I know that's a popular bug with the Epic Touch so I can't really say how much of the LOS is the fault of Sprints network.
If you want unlimited data go to Sprint. That's true unlimited. No slowing down after 2GB like T-Mobile. But take into consideration you may not get 4G Wi-Max where you live or work. I'm lucky to happen to get it at home and my job.
The only thing I like about T-Mobile over other carriers is they have month to month option. On a major carrier I think that's big. I have no interest going to a carrier made for month to month like boost mobile or virgin mobile. Why? I don't know how good the networks will be. How signal will be. How fast or slow their data speeds are. And they don't have any phones I like.

I hear all the time that people have issues with Sprints 3G data speed being super duper slow. The 3G is pretty good on my Epic 4G Touch. It's not slow by any means at all. But 4G & Wi-Fi definitely blows 3G out the water.
It definitely depends where you live. I started with Sprint about 15 months ago on launch day of OG Epic. I had 4g since day 1. I have never had a dropped call and I have full bar service with 8-13Mbps download speeds

What phone do you have right now?
I've used them all and I say sprint... But I'm a cheap date...
I had sprint for a few years in college and never had an issue, I'll probably test out my friends iphone 4s to see how it is with sprint. The extra $10 a month for an iphone maybe worth it to me. Although I've been android for the last 3 years, will wait a few months (hopefully) to see what sprints rolls out with the LTE phones, and how the ICS shapes up on nexus s.
I live in LA before coming to sprint I was on tmobile 3g was always fast on my Nexus One every where I was i never worry about coverage. I decided switch carriers for numbers of reasons 1 being that At&t might buy them another was didn't like being throttled after 2gb. sprints plans look better in my opinion but after getting the nexus s 4g wow there is no comparison whatsoever with the epic touch. on the nexus s 4g reception was so bad even wifi wouldn't connect even while standing in front of my router. now when I switched to the Epic touch 4g wifi was good even at the lowest connection 3g is like dial up in my house and 4g is non existing but everywhere else 4g is good 8-13mbps at home is not a bigger deal for me since I have broadband anyway I'm sticking with sprint hoping LTE upgrade is better than wimax.

Come to JC meeting

Okay everyone, I feel like this a time for those of us that have to decide to renew our contract with Sprint...to make a real informed decision. I'm going to try and keep this short.
Read this first- here
I've been with every carrier EXCEPT Verizon and twice with Sprint. I always knew that Sprint's data network wasn't that great, but I found it usable (barely and often times frustrating). With my contract date ending on 5/3, I started looking at other carriers. I have friends on Verizon, TMo, and ATT. In a very non-scientific way, I decided to test the 3G & 4G speeds on those networks...later comparing them to Sprint. I always found my Sprint speeds to be the slowest...on both. Let me mention that I live in Kansas City...which is in Sprint's backyard...didn't even matter.
With the direction mobile technology is going...LTE is definitely here to stay. However, the battery powering the device is not improving (except for the Razr Maxx). And we all know that 4G...albeit LTE or WiMax, sucks the life out of the standard mAh battery in the device. Which is why, I use 3G most of the time...again, which is not that good on Sprint's network.
Even with the sexy Evo 4G LTE dropping soon, I am starting to reconsider my tenure with Sprint. Even with a good LTE network, 3G still plays a role...at least for me. Paired with my tests and the above article, it proves that Sprint needs to get their sh*t together. A great device means nothing on a sub par network.
I guess I'm angry right now and I don't plan to sit on the curb either. I really want to give Sprint a chance...have been for nearly 2 years. But, I don't want to be optimistic, only to be let down 2 more years later. So my question to my comrades is simple. Are you all going to stay with Sprint or look elsewhere?
Don't worry, I'm a big boy and I can take straight up responses. Sorry for the dissertation.
Regards,
sag
***Mods, feel free to move this to general discussion. I think it may belong there.***
You go to another carrier and get less data for more money, better speeds less quality. Sprints LTE roll out is bringing network vision with it which is enhanced 1x and 3g networks as well as LTE everywhere there is now 3g coverage within 2 years. I'll be sticking with sprint as I have been with every carrier and sprint has the best customer service and actually works with their customers. Vzw doesn't give a rats ass how badly they screw you and will even directly lie to your face to get you to change your plan, device, contract etc. ATT lte is spotty at best TMO is just a joke in alot of areas, and sprints network vision will far surpass all the other carriers by the end of 2014.

I'm sticking with Sprint. The price plans for Verizon are so much more expensive than what I'm currently paying, and I'm not sure the benefits warrant the cost. Also, I'm optimistic that Sprint is at least trying to get better. Their venture into WiMAX set them back, but they've been moving to correct that. Lastly, I'll be spending the next four years in college where I'll have WiFi available nearly constantly.
See there are so many things I am weighing right now...in no particular order
Devices offered...to include future device offerings
Data Speeds
Customer service
Coverage
Rate Plans
Tethering (the XDA way ;-))
Time to upgrade
I have been following the development of Sprint's network and it really DOES look promising. However, I do not want to wait for nothing. I'm trying not to let impulse or frustration get the best of me right now...really difficult. I love my Evo and I am hoping the love will continue with the Evo LTE. I just want to love the network as well.
Thanks for responding and I hope this continues to create dialog.

By the time network vision is fully deployed sprint is targeted to have the best network in the country. HD voice, consistent 1.8-3mb 3g speeds and LTE with coverage everywhere they currently have 3g with the same signal quality and building penetration as the current 3g network means they will have LTE in a bigger market than any other carrier while having the same or better 3g as well and far superior voice quality, with the customer service they currently have sprint will be poised to be the top dog once again.

here are a few things floating in my mind on why to switching carriers ( other than having NO COVERAGE aka im runnin in airplane mode just to save battery cuz there is no point on leaving radio on unless i like looking at the x over my signal bars lol)
-boy do i miss sim cards it was WAYYY easier to switch phones imo (yea yea you can even switch sprint phones by talking to them online but still swap a sim and wait sounds like fun)
-i mean the faster speeds would be nice and the limits on amount of data might be hassle but... i really dont find myself downloading roms over the 3g/4g radio (well ok maybe 4g but i dont have that in my particular area either but i get that could be nice) and tethering could be an issue (and i mean by other means not the manufacturers app) since there are caps butttt yeah there is wifi so many places and at the rates the size of phones are coming who needs to tether a lappy lol
-i guess im so over customer service where unless it is really really really really really need im just gonna try to fix it myself just cuz.
andddd to be honest i know this sounds like a stupid thing or maybe just dumb but att has this 50 unlimited plan for the go phone (annnd a sim only costs like 4 bucks or something like that which means no need to hack away with cdma workshop to get my phone on boost or something). downside is yesss you have to buy a phone off plan and yes you still will get throttled (right ? wasnt that what they are doin to unlimited plans?) but id rather shell out for a phone i want that im not stuck with due to contract annnd have my 50 dollar plan throttled than a $100+ plan throttled lol anyways those are some of my thoughts just thought i'd share

[Q]How's T-Mobile Service & their Wifi-Calling?

Hi Guys, I posted similar post on N7100 asking about T-Mobile Service but since this is actual T-Mobile forum, I thought I could get better feedbacks.
I'm currently with AT&T and service isn't that bad other than extremely expensive plans and slow data speed on my Galaxy i9300. Most of the time on H+ I barely get 1 mbps so I'm thinking of jumping on carrier branded Note 2 with LTE/4G.
I would like to know how are your service with T-Mobile? I know it really depends on locations but generally is it good or bad? Also how is their Wifi-Calling? I absolutely need this since I won't be getting service at home. (AT&T is same, so I have MicroCell setup) Wifi-Calling seems lot more convenient since Wifi is every where now days. I know I could go to T-Mobile store and do 14 days trial but I rather skip that hassle and ask this awesome community
Hopefully I didn't take too much of your time! Thank you~
That is up to your coverage map but I would say that if your having issues with AT&T's hspa+ then T-mobile might not be a great choice but it all depends where you travel... The wifi-calling is an added bonus that I like to have! Definitely look up your address and see what "color" you live in and talk in and that will tell ya... I get fine service even when I only have one bar of signal strength but I'm sure that it varies by location and phone. Where I live AT&T has a much faster hspa+ network than T-mobile does but this is kind of a "dummy" line for me to play with... LOL I just have the $30 Walmart prepaid plan..

Both carrier supposedly have good coverages where I live but I don't get any reception inside of home, which is pretty lame and drives me nuts!
I keep hearing wifi-calling being buggy on note 2? How's your experience with that?
I'm getting 15mb/s where i live (NYC and Long Island). Better than At&t and Verizon overall, especially for the price and free mobile hotspot. I have better service then other providers here too. WiFi Calling is also great

What...!? O_O someone stole your phone? Omfg I'm so sorry to hear that man... I hope you had insurance on it, or hopefully gps tracking will help find your phone
wifi calling has worked great on my Note2 and was part of the reason I switched to T-Mobile... Verizon has 4G LTE where I am at currently; however, if they are having issues with their 4G network it is a huge PITA.... sending texts/calling over wifi is a huge bonus and definitely comes in handy

Wifi Calling is awesome if you can get a good wifi signal. At my home I get the speeds in my signature (11Mb/s down 4Mb/s up) and live in a full 4G coverage area. Where I used to live I barely got 2 bars of edge, which in that case I would use wifi calling exclusively. You do need a pretty strong signal with wifi calling (at least 2 bars) and a decent upload rate. Other that that it's great. I'd also recommend setting the preferred call method to cell (above wifi). That way you'll use cell always unless you have no coverage, then wifi calling will kick in, and it's very nice to see wifi calling when no one else can get a signal! Like others have said, check the coverage map! Where I live in Michigan AT&T stinks, my parents have them and can't get a signal anywhere. They are very jealous at my house when they have no signal and I have full 4G goodness! :good:

Att network

I have a question i pretty mich know the answer but i want to ask neway.
I live in a area that only gets 2g 3g is in all the small crappy towns around have 3g tho. I mean small towns like 150 people. Neway. Att just last night in my area went from edge to 3g and in spots 4g. It was a giant jump on there end.
Ok i know when i went to NC i was able to use att towers where tmo did not have anything. In the city anyway. Is there a mod or something so i can use there network? I am sick of 2g and its bs all the crap towns out in the middle of nowhere have 3g.
So ya after all that i just want to know if there is a mod or something i can do to trick there tower to letting me roam on it or something. I tried to connect to it but it wouldnt let me. Any help will be appreciated. Thanx

See thats what im talking about. I wish there was a mod to trick it so i can roam. You probably get 3g in the country. I was down by fort brag and was on att the whole time h+. Im tired of this 2g crap i live on the interstate and sh*t towns that arent on the way to anywhere 30 miles off the interstate are rockin 3g. They frikin give lte to KC and god forbid an hr north they give use flippin edge. I wud think atleast edge wud be a start.
I read somewhere i think tmonews that all tmo towers by summer will have 3g i really hope this is true....
Get an AT&T sim card?
Im a tmo customer its fine thanx tho. Nor much i can do but wait. I did call tmo yesterday and i know he was just a rep but he said they hsve to upgrade everything to lte soon for the new htc phone so im hoping
