I'll Chime in.  I literally joined T-Mobile about 2 days ago.  Being on Project FI from Google, I noticed that T-mobile was the best data coverage when swapping from Sprint to TMO and I basically was forcing myself on Tmobile network when I could.  After about 6 months of trying FI, I just decided to go all in on my Nexus 6, flashed the official supported TMO Rom, and be a magenta Convert.  So far so good!

Brian, I'd be interested in hearing your observations on Project Fi. I'm considering getting a Nexus 5X and switching one of our lines over to Project Fi for at least a few months, mostly because the phone supports Fi. My other options for this phone would be either PagePlus or Cricket. I mean, I like T-Mobile and all that but this line needs better coverage. Fi's coverage map looks pretty good and all that. I'm just not sure how it will work in practice.

To be honest the concept is great...but Sprint is really lacking in performance.  I'm much happier w/ TMO only, and it's only been a couple days.

I think the issue is that Sprint has a very decent/strong voice signal in my area but crappy data...but google defaulted to the strongest signal making internet horrible but voice good.  Problem is I'm on internet most of the time or wifi calling so it didn't matter.

Hello tmo community!  New here, my first post actually!!

I recently dumped "big red" for the "magenta uncarrier" and couldn't have been happier.  Previous device was an LG G4 on Verizon; was getting annoyed that this phone had features that were unavailable on Verizon (smart settings, fm radio, user accounts etc...) and their customer service was actually rude to me on several occasions.  Went into a T-Mobile store last week, and about 35 min later; I walked out with a new Galaxy Note 5 and the 6gb plan.  One of the best decisions I've ever made.  Got home, phone was activated, speed test showed almost 70mbps down and 20 up.  Crazy! Faster than my WiFi at home.  And loads faster than Big Red!!!

Anyway...

Hi everyone!

Let's answer these!  😊

1.)Note 5 SM-N920T

2.)Hagerstown (area), MD (western MD)

3.)Hmmmm...my fav word? Lol i can't put that here!  😉

4.)My least then? I'll have to go with: Stupid <- it's just the word, i dislike it smh

5.)Me happy? The mother of my child (and my child once he or she gets here 😊 ), fast cars, aviation, android development and networking in general- I'm only BS/CompSc-NetEnginnering but i learn fast and this stuff is a passion of mine! It's the coolest! To transmit over a large area and penetrate structures with a broadband capable signal that can communicate as fast as LTE is COOOOOL!!! And i love IT, everything about it, making it faster, smarter, better- it's an awesome awesome hobby! 😊

6.)Sad? Not having extra money to buy new toys when they're released smh lol

7.)I think i would've loved to have been a doctor. In a constantly evolving discipline, i think I'd thoroughly enjoy it.

8.)what would i NOT want to do? Septic repairman. I will PASS on septic repair job offerings. Nothing else do i consider myself to be too good for.

So, that's my answers everybody! I just ask everyone keep an open mind about me, and don't worry I'll eventual irritate all of you with my lack of carriage return use and in-general strong opinions on certain subjects 😉 . But i also offer all the technical assistance my experiences (I've flashed thousands of devices) will allow, and I'm generally pretty happy to do so 😊 i don't really like flaming noobies, i know folks get irritated and sometimes reading the same question over and over gets old, but i feel like flaming isn't helping anything (your cause included), if you're not going to help then just don't reply...i can only envision my 70 year old mom reading "screw off you effing blah blah" somewhere when she asks in the wrong forum about her screen going off by itself all the time smh lol...and i figure we're all here to help one another, I'm more than happy to contribute to everyone having the best experience possible!

If anyone ever wants help or assistance with anything, feel free to pm me, I'll get it eventual in my email 😊
