Those With 1520 Using WP 8.1 on T-Mobile

[Dinky89484]

How's the LTE signal strength and speed for you guys on T-Mobile with the 8.1 update? Presumably, you are using the "unicorn" 1520 (or the RM-938 1520.3). Mine doesn't seem to be as strong indoors after the 8.1 update (was fine prior to the 8.1 update) but seems to be great and fine outdoors. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've found that both my 938 and 940 consistently show fewer bars on LTE than my 925 used to, but it hasn't really changed any with the 8.1 update.

Interesting. I thought my RM-938 and my unlocked Lumia 920 were pretty on par with each other, but this was before the 8.1 update. I guess we'll see if T-Mobile ever pushes out firmware for 8.1.

Plenty have reported weaker LTE and even WiFi after the update in other threads, so I guess this is in line. Hopefully it'll be fixed with polished firmware. I'm personally gonna wait before updating to 8.1.

RM-938 on T-Mo here. No difference in LTE strength after 8.1 update.

The RM-938 and 920 aren't T-mobile phones, so you will never get an update from them.

Understood. I should have clarified better. What I meant to say was that I hope T-Mobile pushed out firmware updates for Windows Phone 8.1 (not the actual phone itself)...but then I realized that that doesn't really make any sense. My bad.
