    Poor T-Mobile Signal

    I got it from the T-Mobile store. I'm gonna try to get a new one, but that's the only thing I can really do now. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna try to return it.

    Poor T-Mobile Signal

    No, Wi-Fi calling doesn't even show as an option. T-Mobile people said phones have to be proprietary to T-Mobile. I can't even get my Voicemail setup. I think there's a problem with the phone not completely registering on T-Mobile's network or something.

    How do you get band 12 from T-Mobile on a Lumia 950 XL?

    I have a Lumia 950 XL that gets really poor signal in places that I used to get fantastic signal with my old phone, an Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL. After doing a lot of research and tech support, the whole shebang, I used the Field Test app and singled out band 12 as the culprit. It's supposed...

    Poor T-Mobile Signal

    Could you check with your XL and see if Band 12 works after all other bands are disabled?

    Poor T-Mobile Signal

    The Alcatel had a MicroSIM, I believe. I needed a NanoSIM for the 950 XL.

    Poor T-Mobile Signal

    I recently purchased a Lumia 950 XL Dual Sim for the T-Mobile network. Before that, I had the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL. It was pretty great for a budget phone, but the most surprising thing was the quality of the T-Mobile network! I had 4 bars with LTE almost everywhere! It was even better...

    Surface Pro 3 i5/i7 vs Pro 4 m3/i5

    I know this is really late, but you're probably gonna get a lot more bang for your buck with the SP4 i5. Even the SP4 m3 would be good. The Skylake processors in the SP4 have some pretty great performance improvements over their predecessors.

    How's the Lumia 735 with Windows 10 Mobile?

    Can anybody let me know how well the Lumia 735 runs the current Windows 10 Mobile version? I'm on Verizon, and therefore can't get the new flagships, but I'm looking to upgrade really soon and might go with the 735 if it performs well with W10. My current phone is the Lumia 928. It does okay...

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I'd go for the Lumia 950XL (white preferably). While the 950 can still pull off Continuum, I'd want the phone that can probably pull it off a tad better. Plus, I could say that I've a liquid-cooled phone! Nobody else can really say that. I also just want a phablet and my 928 is dying D:

    Surface Pro 4 fan noise vs. Surface Pro 3?

    Surface Pro 4 fan noise vs. Surface Pro 3 Can anyone give their opinions on the fan noise for the Surface Pro 4 i5/256/8gb model? I'm thinking about trading in my current Surface, but was wondering about this mainly. Can you provide a comparison between the two when gaming (preferably League of...

    Anybody used the Simple banking app?

    I've some friends who use the Simple banking app, and they say it's a great service! Unfortunately, like others, the bank doesn't have an app available for Windows. Does anybody use Simple that has used it in the Edge browser? Does it work as well, or better, than the app on the other OSs? What...

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    I don't have my texts either. Other people are having this issue as well. I was very sad when I found that out. ):

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    I talked to a representative today over the phone. She said that the 950XL should work on their network. Since the phone isn't available yet, she couldn't say for sure, but after looking at the bands that were available to the phone, she said it should work fine. Since Band 13 is not supported...
