iOS 10 / T-mobile Carrier update 25.1 = horrible signal?

[MelCali82]

Pretty sure it was that last carrier update to Tmo.

My reception/signal has been really bad. From no signal at all to having my SE showing 4G/lte but still no actual data coming through.

Anybody else on tmobile having this issue?

edit: apparently this issue is pretty widespread. happening across multiple ios devices https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/52tj82/carrier_settings_251_issue_with_ios_10/

iOS 10.0.1... was doing fine until that 25.1 carrier update.

Yup. Same here. I also notice in weaker areas, I am not getting No Service where, say, Verizon on my other iPhone has no issues

 

[Bob Garon]

Yes I am having the same experience too on both of my iPhone SE's.

Same here

TMo HELP tweeted after 1PM/EST, that a PERMANENT fix from Apple is coming within 24-48 hrs!
In the meantime, restart the IPhone if you lose the signal; temp. fix

 

[beachhoppr]

Yeah rebooting works. Glad there is a fix because this sucks

I got 25.2 update and it seems to be stable now.

 

[beachhoppr]

Same here. Received 25.2 this morning and the problem appears to be resolved.

 

[CPR]

RESOLVED! yay

I like how fast Apple fixed this.

25.2 was pushed to my phone this morning. Fortunately, my phone wasn't affected. Regardless, it's been a rocky week for Apple (and/or T-Mobile) on the software-update front!

Ok so the connection issue is fixed however the connection strength is horrible. In weaker areas My galaxy still has lte while the iPhone now either has 4g or e

I'm on Verizon and having this issue with 25.1 signal was amazing everywhere now it's horrible

I also noticed the weaker signal.

 

[beachhoppr]

This is still an issue for me.

The carrier update fixed the No Service issues I was experiencing after iOS 10 officially launched. My Galaxy Note 5 has *always* had better service than my iPhone for some reason. Makes little sense but it always has.

I also noticed the weaker signal.

This is still an issue for me.

Do both of you still have this issue on 10.0.2? Or anyone really?

Work doesn't seem to be any different, but it seems to be different at home.

Well, prior to ios 10, I used to have cell reception in the restroom but now it won't connect anymore and most place that used to give me 3 bar now gives me 2 bars. Not sure why.

That's so weird. I am having a similar issue with reception too. I just had to ask, thank you for responding.

Edit: So I decided to downgrade, for a few reasons but one of them being this all by itself. I will upgrade when I feel like it is mature enough.
