The service in my phone has been going off & on lately like my bars would be all gone. so ive tried pretty much everything to do to fix it & now I just dont have service now. Is this because of the ATT & T-mobile merger? I live in Roswell GA if that helps.

1) no its not the merger
2) What rom/radio? Have you tried another? ("Tried everything" doesn't help us diagnose)
3) Did you simply call T-mobile and ask about a service outage in your area? Those do happen.

My service is randomly back on now. & the funny thing is my other friend who has a G2 he is having the problem. Might just be something around the area. Have no clue what rom I'm on right now.

It is more than likely just the area. Call T-mobile and ask about outages. And how do you not know what ROM is on your phone?? /headscratch

Seriously lol. ridiculous.
I've been having that same issue on and off in The Bay area. Happens more often in San Francisco than East Bay. Sometimes I'll have to reboot my phone to get service again. Or the bars will turn white and sit there.
I'm running CM7 Nightly 153.

EDiT: And just 10m ago service cut out... I tried cycling the data connection, but it didn't come back. I had to reboot to get it to come back.

It does sound strange. Have tried switching between 2g and 3g to see if it makes any difference?

2g makes no diff, ill have to wait for a phone to use and call them, and then most likely get a new phone, then unroot mine yaya and so on lol.

If you are both T-Mob, then of course you are the same network. They don't build a new set of cell towers just for pre-paid. They just change the way they bill you.
ya need to get a new phone, went back to stock rom and still is messed up
called tmobile and it turned out to be my sim card was a older version and had switched networks too many times and couldnt connect anymore. took the one that came with the phone and got it setup and its all good again.

Well, if the memory on the SIM card is akin to flash memory, I guess it's possible.

Really? Totally believe you just dont see the logic behind it. Why would they make a sim card only be able to switch networks so many times? Makes no sense. The person you talked to probably just had no idea what they were talking about!
Pretty much every rewritabe non volatile memory technology out there has a limiter number of writes that can be performed on it before it fails. Maybe a SIM card will last for > 10 years. I don't know, I haven't been with a single provider long enough to find out. I can see where this was a logical hypothesis on the part of the rep, and since replacing the sim worked, where is the problem?

I have been having some problems with getting service in areas around my school. It never used to be a problem with my old Mytouch Slide.
Could it be that I need to update the radio? Which radio should I choose?
I know I should be getting service, because other phones are getting service in the same locations.
Don't know anything about radios but I do know that some schools(or maybe just teachers) are putting in these devices that cuts the signal on phones. In my school I believe there was one teacher who had it and ppl told me that he would tell them he's turning the device on and as soon as he does their signal drops. So I guess I tell you this as its a possibility that's what may be going on.

Well it could be a dead spot for your carrier. What carrier do you use? And other people in your school could be using other carriers

Other people are using the same carrier as me. AT&T. I have ran T-mobile phones on AT&T's network to avoid data charges for the longest time, and the phones so far have given me great service (Motorola Cliq, Mytouch Slide). But with the G2, I'm finding a lot of dead spots. Nothing has changed apart from the phone I'm using...
I talked to Sprint on their live chat about this, and of course they don't know anything.
I am only having bad service in one zip code, my home zip code. I get a notification saying the text failed to send, when it didn't - the other person got the message. My 4G speed is UNDER 1mbit. How do I address this issue with Sprint so the issue is resolved? According to the idiot on the live chat thing, he said there aren't any network issues.
Bump...
They probably are doing some tower improvement or network improvement in your area and the person you spoke with just didn't know. Heck, when I called in about the OTA update, they told me 2.3.4 is the newest version available

Haha wow...maybe visiting a store in the area would help? Does the store have to be in my zip code?
I don't even know if it's a service issue because the messages send, I just get a notification saying the message failed to send...it's really weird.

I know that I have had trouble for a whole day in SoCal before. I thought it was my setup so I Odin flashed back to stock, re-rooted, reflashed ROM only to find out it was a network issue. If you can go the day without it, I would see if its fixed tomorrow morning. If not, start totally fresh. If you Odin back to full stock and still have the problem, its pretty safe to say its the network

It's been almost constant for a while, but again..only one location. Not sure how that could be ROM based.

The one location leads me to believe it wouldn't be ROM based. That's why I suggested waiting it out for the day. I know that can be tough though

It's been a week.
It definitely sounds as though they're working in your area. Not that this will help get you better coverage but type in your zip on the map and perhaps see what they did or plan to do.

Just a side thought. Call CS & explain the issue & they may send you an airave. Got mine last week as I was having horrible service at my home, but it was just fine at my neighbors. Needless to say, no more dropped calls or missed texts.

Not so sure. I don't see anything current going on. And would they really leave their service in a degraded state for weeks on end for network upgrades?
i can barely pick up one signal bar as of late and its getting really annoyng because i ant even receive texts since i text alot so its a big issue now, but im on wifi so i cant tell unless my phone is being quiet lol. what can it be?
Network Vision is occuring in LA, you'll have 4G LTE soon. Just hang in there, it's tower maintenance.
Wow just earlier this month I searched for 4g lte in LA and I couldn't find anything. I searched Network Vision and see that we will probably have it going this September. Awesome. Thanks for letting us know.

I'm in Sherman Oaks.
My signal has been spotty as well all up and down the 605.
So my mom has this phone, and me and my sister have HTC ones. Our phones work fine at home, and we just got Lte coverage a few days ago, so that's been nice. However, my mom's phone recently has been dropping basically every call no matter where she is or how much service it says she has. The signal bars show a red x, and usually given time the service will come back, but sometimes it takes a restart. I've tried updating profile and prl, and the best the people at the sprint store could do was tell me that there is supposed to be a software update coming to fix it. The phone is completely stock. It doesn't seem like the network cause the other phones work fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on what we could try?

You must have weak LTE signal. Go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks and tick it to CDMA. If she wants LTE she'll have to do this manually.
Sorry but it's just the way this phone is.

You can try to flash the ZVC radio from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230106 but you'd have to root/unlock.
Other option is to LGNPST in the same thread under "Additional info". That's about all I got.
