So I came from the Samsung Skyrocket which was one of At&ts first LTE phones. So this phone being more current hardware you would expect for it to be able to attain better signal strength. And in my experience it does, places I only got 1 bar of lte I am now seeing two or three bars and also the connection is much more stable. So, I should be a happy camper right? Not quite.
Where I live in Los Angeles some places have great LTE speeds but others the HSPA+ network yields better network speeds. For Instance, at work I ussually get about 2 mbps down on LTE but 10 mbps down on HSPa+. I am preety much on the border of the LTE network and on the Skyrocket my phone would quickly fall back to the HSPa+ network. But with the Note Its signal is much more strongly connected to the LTE network and trying to watch youtube on a 1 to 2 mbps connection is a pain( the reason I left Sprint).
I hope in a future update we will have the option to toggle LTE on and off. But I doubt this since the skyrocket has been out for months and it still does not have a toggle swith.
Otherwise I love this phone
My main concern is the lack of data frequencies for u.s. i will be using the phone for t-mobile. Anybody here that uses this phone for t-mobile how is data connection holding up for you?
wasn't that only about the LTE bands? 3G should work fine then I guess?

I'm in California and so far lte is fine for me, it's similar to the g3 when it comes to getting lte or not so far I get it everywhere
There's a thread on the oneplus forum that goes through this. Seems all major metro areas get LTE. Which, I'm fine with too. Mine is on order so cannot verify. We shall see.

You will still get LTE speeds as long as you are in an area where bands 2 and 4 are available. My previous phone didn't have band 12, but I still have LTE coverage in my area, so I knew I would be okay with the OPX.
Band 12 is new. Most phones that came out last year didn't even have it. I think just the newest set of flagships did. I get LTE everywhere. I've only seen H+ maybe a hand full of times while on a phone call or in a building.
I get 100mbps in a lot of places. Even indoors.

The iPhone 6, at $749.00 retail, does not include band 12.
I've been reading these reviews and the things that get mentioned is just beyond me. The camera does have me concerned though.

I also have oneplus x with tmobile, and so far it seems like i get lte almost everywhere here in jacksonville fl. Also when i traveled across states over the christmas break. so you should be fine with getting lte coverage on tmoble.
I use the OnePlus X with Ting (T-Mobile)
Hi, I bought the OnePlus X without realizing that it wouldn't work on what was then my current network: Sprint. But I had already decided that I wanted to switch over to Ting. Ting uses other networks to power their service and charges you directly per use; it is very clear on exactly what you are paying for.
Anyway, it allowed me to connect my OnePlus X and set me up with the T-Mobile service (it shows up on the top-left notification bar on my phone).
I always get LTE coverage in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) and I've never had a problem with the bands missing.
So yes, the OnePlus X works with T-Mobile. However, I have been trying to see how much they would charge me to switch over from Ting to T-Mobile and it seems that I can't? So for now, I'm sticking with Ting
I had a nexus 5 before (no band 12) and the oneplus X had the same bands avail actually it sounds like most unlocked phones don't have band 12 anyways but signal is actually better with my oneplus x over my old nexus 5 in a lot of places which makes me really happy!
I'm constantly having to "reset network connections" on my new tmo s21. When I dial a # it rings 1-2x then silence while the call counter shows connected. Only way to fix the issue to reset the network.
Any solutions?
Been happening for the past month or so on T-Mobile for me, plus the network speed is ridiculously low, but ONLY on the S21. Moving my SIM to my Pixel 4a 5G, iPhone 12 Pro or Oneplus 9 Pro get normal speeds. Seeing about 300mb/s on those, and MAYBE 75mb/s on the S21. It's also not a fault model, because I have a T-Mobile branded S21 and an unlocked one as well. Both S21s have awful speeds.
Why wont my pixel 6 choose a better Band with a better signal. All my other phones choose band 3 with signal around -92dbm while the pixel only stays on band 1 with the signal around -104dbm.
I dont know if it is the dec update or the beta carrier services or what else there is but it used to use band 3 which had the best signal.
If you installed the December update, that is likely the cause.
Got sent this phone from the US so its snapdragon one. The 4G speed is so terrible rarely exceeds 10mbps and the connection is not stable it loses connection every few seconds. my old phone used to get about 60mbps and a more stable conection (i live in a not so well developed country, this is the standard speed) also on my s22+ on the mobile data it always says "LTE" meanwhile my old poco f2 pro used to have "4G+" 90% of the time. Are all snapdragon samsung phones like this outside the US? And if theres anyway to fix please recommend.

See what channels European countries use and choose the operator of the country you are in and then compare that with the supported channels on your SM-S906U1.
it is supported yes. im not from europe im from ethiopia, but i checked my friends phone band and it says band 3 whilst on my phone it says band 7 while we are both on the same network
