Good afternoon all,
I recently got a Cubot X9, and honestly have not been too impressed thus far. The screen came with buggy as I'd have phantom keys. That has died down a bit, but as it turns out, this phone will NOT connect 3G onto my MetroPCS network. I have tried everything, including activating it at a Dealer.
Has anyone encountered this issue and is there a work around? I understand the phone is not 4G capable, but I would assume if it is advertised as 3G that it would do so.
Thanks in advanced!

hi
i have bought a jiayu g3 from china. from pandawill.
i am having really bad problems getting the internet or gps to work properly using network. wifi is perfect and very fast.
i have tried so many different apn settings but nothing is working as it should.
gps only ever worked once after i left it going for about half an hour but then i moved and it gave up again.
i changed from giff gaff( o2 ) and am now using virgin (t-mobile and orange). no better.
while i was at work i turned 3g off and the internet worked on face book but not accu weather or ebay or mail. i have turned it off and on again but nothing at all now.
as a phone and while using wifi its a lovely phone and would be over the moon if i could get it working as it should before i give up and put a hammer to it. ive had it for about 6 weeks now and this is driving me potty searching and trying new things to no avail.
i was thinking of sending it to someone on ebay to root it but i dont know if that is the answer.
it is running android 4.0.4
its dual sim and i am using the "w" slot.
getting despondent now.....
any ideas will be gratefully received.
thanks
also, how do i get a signature on here so i can put my phone details on?
i had a desire s previously and the internet and gps was fantastic so i know its not an area thing.
I recently bought a new HTC One M8 (AT&T) off of eBay. When it came i set it up and it was still on KitKat 4.4.2. The WiFi had some weird problems on that, but i just chalked it up to it being an old OS. I manually updated to 6.0 using the AT&T RUU tool from HTCs website, and everything looked to be fine, until i got to the setup. When it asked me to select a WiFi network, i selected the one that is the router in my room. Come to find out that unless the phone is pointed directly at the router and less then a foot away from it, i get 1-2 bars, or nothing at all. It barely connects (or even shows) any of the access points in my house either, and when it does they all say 1-2 bars. I still have my old HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) and the wifi works perfect on there, full/strong connection anywhere in the house, and it shows all the access points in my house. I have no idea whats going on, i already tried wiping the cache partition, and factory resetting.
P.S. I don't have a plan for mobile, so mobile data is turned off already (on both phones). Help?
I don't think there is much else you can do. If you did RUU, and still having WiFi problems, the device may have a hardware issue.

Good afternoon,
I have a galaxy s6 925i,
I'm having problems on the network,
Performing some tests and realized that the problem is with the cell phone.
Before my phone took the 4G network normally, after I switched to the NN4 ROM I realized that my 4G signal did not work anymore. I thought it was cell phone coverage issues.
I changed operator and continued with the same problem.
I changed the ROM, did the wipes and nothing.
I put the original ROM, I installed the MODEM file and CSC and it did not work.
My wife owns a Galaxy S7 and I use my chip normally in 4G.
At the moment I am with the ZTO ROM my signal is very intermittent and I do not know what to do.
If anyone can help me.
I thank you all.
Hi all, I just bought a new Samsung S9 plus 256gb US version unlocked from Samsung's website and I have TMobiles unlimited one plan. The Sim card I got was in my old ZTE Blade V8 Pro unlocked (you can probably guess why I bought a new phone). After putting the SIM card in the new phone for about a few hours it was a night and day difference where places I tested my LTE speed was 30mbs verses 6-8 on the old phone and the internet loaded quicker.
However, later in the day I started getting no connection or slow speeds and sometimes got edge+ connections in places where even my crappy V8 Pro would get connections. I called TMobile and gave them my phone's emei number and the Sim number that I used. At first it worked better but I still get less bars of reception and there are times when it takes a while for a LTE connection when there is no wifi. I even get LTE+ and it will still load some things like twitch streaming slow.
Someone suggested flashing TMobile firmware to the phone to try help connecting to their network like their branded phone's, but I have no idea what file to download for TMobile firmware for Odin to flash. Also, would it help to get updates from TMobile faster? People who have a TMobile sold S9+ are getting the new delayed update but my unlocked phone isn't. Thanks for your time.
I can say with a great deal of confidence that flipping firmware will not resolve this problem. It sounds like a hardware issue to me.
So the phone itself, as stated is a MetroPCS branded Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL, and according to metro it is in fact UNLOCKED. It is on the latest update of the stock rom from metro I believe (Android Lollipop 5.1.1 ). so that, as far as i can tell is not the complete issue however I'm wondering if it being from metro is contributing to the issue at hand. I am using Mint Sim/Mint Mobile, they have amazing coverage in my area that I myself experienced for a week, so I'm almost positive it is not a coverage issue. Now down to the bare bones of the problem:
I got this phone about two weeks ago now, bought it in "unlocked" "New, Other" Condition on eBay from the seller Cellfeee. Had to use the unlock app when I got it but it went through fine, with no issues. Fast forward I activate my new sim, put it in the phone and experience great coverage for about a week and a half. Phone was lovely. Fast forward more, around 8:30 pm on August 29 2018 I lost service completely. Start journey into google. I have done the following:
Taken out the sim
restarted the phone
tried the sim in other devices
factory reset the phone
rooted the phone, removed metro apps and apn
done *#4636# I don't know how many times
messed with every mobile and wifi setting possible
the only time I have gotten service back was last night around 10, the phone had no wifi connection and it seemed to pick up a very strong signal that faded while i watched.
I have determined that It is NOT the sim card, I have determined it is most likely not the hardware, the only thing left that I can think of is either the ROM or the modem firmware itself. My question is, do any of you think that flashing a custom rom onto the phone could cure this? is there a way to find the most recent stable firmware for the modem and update/downgrade it to that? I've already cut my losses and bought a new phone through alcatel on their amazon link so it's not like i'm completely screwed but honestly I'm so irritated with this phone and I just want concrete answers/results at this point. any suggestions welcome. thank you for your time.
Edit: The service provider in the top corner was mint while the phone was working. after it began to fail it switched to either no service OR metropcs, now it often says metropcs even when no service don't know if this makes a difference
