chamb Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Trip said: I have still been unable to figure out why I can't seem to get this deal, even though your phones were older than mine. Yesterday the Sprint site popped up a big warning when I logged in telling me to upgrade, and when I went to the phone page, it said $0/mo, right up until I got to checkout, at which point the number increased back to the $16.67/mo I had seen previously. Chat was clueless--first person suddenly disconnected when I asked after they initially ignored my question and went into a spiel, and the second basically talked in circles. - Trip I do not know why I got this deal and you can not get it. My phones were older S-9's but were working good on 4G & VOLTE. The only thing I did was refuse to install a TM Sim many times. The one notification I got was kind of stupid as it said my phone was going to stop working. Well, it might of been correct if I held on for a long enough time. I returned a text to TM and told them I was not going to ever swap sims until they had a network in my area that was capable of beating the old Shentel network. If they could not do that, I would eventually move to another carrier. I will never know where my reply went or if it caused the great offer to appear on my account. Maybe that fact that my trade-ins were Samsung may have given me some extra points. I am not sure what phone you are trying to trade in.

Hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware on my end. I'm on the direct from Samsung unlocked version particularly here. There obviously had to have been a software bug in the mix somehow with this....after the 2nd May update, suddenly the Flashlight on my unlocked S22+ is working again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PythonFanPA Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Yep, I get it didn't affect others/other models, but software update is the only logical explanation for the observed behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I only qualified for the 600 dollar trade in allowance. Note, I now have the new S22. The reception I am getting seems to better than my old S20 FE 5G. At home I was averaging about 200 Mbps and now I am getting over 300 Mbps. At my local library, I had to use WiFi since my signal was too weak. The S22 gave me a usable signal inside the library. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that I got my S20 heavily subsidized and got the S21 for $150 with trade-in, I'll take it. Slightly shorter phone will be nice, as will n77 and eventual 71+41+41 NR CA. Just curious what everyone does with their old cell phone cases when they trade in the old phone. Does T mobile take them? I am not trying to sell anything on here, just looking for ideas because I don't know what to do with the UB Pro case from my old S20 fe 5g I am trading in. Ebay? Craigslist? Donate to thrift store?

IrwinshereAgain Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Samsung band selector app does not work. *#2263# brings up the menu and lists the bands but I did not actually select any bands to see if that works or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdob07 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The 2263 menu is still working post update thankfully. I noticed T-Mobile still hasn't added either n2 or n25, so the S22 they used for that 3gbps test must have been using custom firmware. Currently my S22 Ultra has n1 NSA, n3 NSA, n5 NSA, n7 NSA, n8 NSA, n20 NSA, n28 NSA, n38 NSA, n41 SA and NSA, n66 SA and NSA, n71 SA and NSA, n260 NSA, & n261 NSA on the NR5G Band preference menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So annoying, they also didn't add n258 either which they have been slowly rolling out. Also, they didn't fix the issue where the *#0011# menu doesn't show the second n41 carrier. At this point, it seems like the S21U is their chosen phone and they are intent on ignoring the S22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its weird how they aren't standardized on at least the same brand of phone with what they have enabled. On my s20+ they didn't even have n66 enabled on it as of end of February when I traded it in even though there were n66 hits on cellmapper, so it was live in at least some parts of the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
