Anyone on T-Mobile that has done the carrier update to 25.1, have you been getting no service? I cant get service at all. I can get it, if i reset network settings. Then if i lose service i cant get it back

I just got the update but haven't installed yet because of your post. Have you tried a hard reset?

Good luck with Metro. They are terrible with keeping up with supporting the newest iPhones. It took them months to support the 6s, 6s+ and the SE.

I bit the bullet and updated. I'm experiencing no issues whatsoever.

Edit: I am experiencing speed test issues, though. I've read that Ookla doesn't support IPv6 yet.

In your settings, does it say "MetroPCS 25.1" or "T-Mobile 25.1?"

If it says T-Mobile, I don't think it should. When I had Metro, it said MetroPCS.

It's says MetroPCS. Before the carrier update. I didn't have the option to Enable Wifi calling on other devices. I do now

Yes, I'm having a ton of issues iPhone 6 with T-Mobile 25.1 config, both with the macro network as well as the LTE Cellspot. Basically once service is lost, it's very difficult to get it to reconnect. I have to hard restart in order to get data connectivity back again.

I just tested my LTE and it was great. Opened setting to double check my carrier was listed as as 25.0. 2 seconds later I got the carrier update box pop up. Installed and it's destroyed my speeds. I'll give it till morning my time(about 12 hours), and I'm going to call and complain. It's definitely the carrier update.

Yep I'm only getting 36 Mbps now vs receiving 55-60 before. It's 8:38 PM here so it's not even peak time anymore. Then again, the speeds on the tower next to my house are usually the same throughout the day.

I don't get cell coverage. But when I'm in town I eat 100MBps. Today after the carrier update. It took 3 hours to download Pokémon go

I'm on T-Mobile in LA with the 25.1 carrier update and my download is 40Mbps. Seems ok to me.

Well my phone is officially ****ed. If it loses the connection, the only way to resolve is to restart the device.

Oddly enough - I'm on Sprint and went to "About" on the phone and got a carrier update as well to 25.1 - no issues to report here.
