Can I use my Tmobile SIM in a TMobile network affiliated phone (ie SImple Mobile etc.)?

Needing a new phone, but not looking to spend an arm and a leg. I have found some phones that I like that are through providers that use the TMobile network. Can I use these phones with my TMobile SIM card, or do I have to specifically look for unlocked phones?

Worst update ever

I've always been a huge fan of OnePlus. The battery life has always been great and the OS being very simple to use as well. A few days ago I woke up and I received the new Android 12 update to my OnePlus 9. Everything looked completely different. My favorites in my contacts were rearranged. I almost didn't recognize my own phone. Being a business owner and running my business from my phone this has been a huge adjustment and inconvenience. On top of that the battery life has been sucked from this device. I don't know if the update has turned on applications that run constantly in the background but it is killing my battery. There needs to be a new solution to this update! Extremely frustrated and unable to stand by the brand OnePlus any longer.

Disaster with my online phone order

I ordered a phone online (with rep assistance) almost 2 weeks ago and received confirmation.  When I never got an email with a tracking number, I checked online and my status says “delayed”.  I called and got bounced around to 3 different people with a variety of comments but no real answer.  I was told  by one rep I’d receive an email within 24 hours.  Nothing. I called back 2 more times and spoke to people in the order support dept.  I still get no definite answer what the issue is and to wait and call back in a few days.  Has anyone else had issues like this? Any suggestions?  I’m about ready to cancel my order and also my home internet.  I’m so disappointed and frustrated with their customer service. It seems like they bend over backwards to make a sale and then don’t care about anything else.

T-Mobile SIM Card

I was a Sprint user and decided to install the T-Mobile SIM card to see if my coverage would get better in my area. Instead it wiped my home and app screens and the widget I used for displaying the time on my home screen. I tried recovering my settings but that was wiped also.Any help would be appreciated!

it's always the last thing that fixes that stubborn mystery behavior #short text #bank verification #samsung galaxy #android

#short text #bank verification #samsung galaxy #androidafter what seemed like a race to the bottom to resolve a persistent issue I was having with a newly ported Samsung Galaxy A10e to T-Mobile, I found the mystery lied in hidden permission settings. I had T-mobile support working with me as well to resolve this and it was also escalated to a higher team.Onto the actual issue. Setting up this A10e with my apps went fine until my us bank app. I never received the verification codes when I first logged in to the app despite multiple resends. tried many, many things that it could be but never fixed. two days go by with no luck. finally late last night I found that an area in the android permissions called “Special access” contained the elusive fix:From Home screen, navigate: Settings > Apps tap the options ellipsis in upper right corner Tap Special access Tap Use Premium text message services Tap the app icon of the messaging app your phone is using by default: Choose Ask or Always all

Mobile Phone Hotspot not letting me play multiplayer games

Hello, so I just started using my Mobile Phone Hotspot to play video games on my laptop(League of Legends, Apex Legends, Battlefield) and initially I had no issues. It was working, but now that I got more speed so I won’t lag, my multiplayer games won’t connect. My  hotspot works, but it’s not communicating with video game servers. I looked into it and apparently it deals with porting but that was a few months ago. My games were working just a few weeks ago and now wont connect just recently. Is there a fix or a setting I can do?

Legitimate software update from t-mobile?

My wife’s Samsung Galaxy Star J3 just got a notice for a software update, referencing …https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-J337T/TMB/doc.html… which showsBuild Number : J337TUVSAAUB2Release Date : 2022-04-09However, https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/android/samsung-galaxy-j3-star/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-j3-star shows the most recent update with a release in 2021, instead of 2022:Version: Android 8.0 Baseband version: J337TUVSAAUB2Release Date: March 9, 2021The doc.html page above is a little strange, as it includes only the word “SAMSUNG” as a header, and is missing the usual banners. But ‘whois samsungmobile.com’ shows a registrant email within samsung.com (sedomain@samsung.com)‘wget https://samsungmobile.com’ reports ‘key too small’, and ‘wget http://samsungmobile.com’ redirects to https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy. This all seems very hack-ish. I’ve deferred the download for now. Is this upgrade legitimate?

oneplus 9 series android 12

T-Mobile has patiently tested and failed Oneplus's rushed updates.  Wisely they prevented buggy deviation being released on their subscribers.  They just pushed a update a few ago with the new security updates.  They are testing the later 12 updates and have found a dozen new bugs that are unacceptable.  So we are still on 11.  I hope OnePlus quickly resolves T-Mobile's detected flaws and releases an update for T-Mobile to retest.  I appreciate not being saddled with bugs just to have the latest software.  T-Mobile takes better care of their customers then most.  I also appreciate the continually improving network conditions.  The Sprint tower reworks and band adjustments have been improving service here but by bit.  Keep it up and soon there will be more of us in Pink.
