1 year old Galaxy S6 stuck in "searching"

Just did a complete factory reset...same thing....at one point it did say "t-mobile" on the left, but no bars on the right.  wi-fi works but lte/3g/2g does not. 

HELP!!

nothing changed.  in fact I did a factory rest, so if i changed anything it should be overridden.  how do i verify all bands?

If you tried a master reset and sim works in another phone, it does pretty much indicate that your phone is sadly dying and has some sort of hardware failure. 

Sadly with the phone being over 1 year old and no covered under warranty, that would be the case is that you would need to upgrade.  This would be no diferent no mater which carrier you are with. The manufacturer warranty is 1 year from start of use and isn't covered past that point with no exceptions unless you have insurance.

The other thing you can do would be to reach out to Samsung directly to see what options they have for repairing the phone and that might be cheaper than purchasing a new device.

The band selection I owuld have checked if you haven't done the master reset. A reset would revert those all to be back on anyway.

Hmm, that is kinda strange it would connect to Verizon. I'm curious, have you tested the service in any other location to see if it connects to T-Mobile? I'm wondering if it could just be a specific are that's giving you grief.

Hey there!  We just wanted to touch base with you again and see if there were any updates on your S6.  How is everything going for you?  Have you been able to solve this connection riddle?

So I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out why my s20 won't connect to the tmobile network. A couple nights ago I was talking to Samsung about a game appearing incorrectly on my screen and he had me do a reset all settings. After that was done my phone has been disconnected from tmobile network and I have tried literally everything under the sun except a factory reset to get my stupid phone working! My phone does everything perfectly fine except I can't send or receive texts or calls. That's literally all it won't do. My phone still can function without Wi-Fi which is weird. I've tried manually connecting to tmobile but it doesn't take, I have put my Sim card into another tmobile phone and it works just fine. Text call everything. So I'm wondering if I did a factory reset on my phone would that make my phone functional completely again or is it pointless? I am eligible for a temporary unlock. Would unlocking my phone help? I need help fast because I doordash for work and while I can dash just fine I need the ability to contact my customers. HELP!
