Metropcs signal

[Thatdad]

How bad is this?

And if it's low how canbi increase it?

Check with Metro to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your phone. There are several that need to be upgraded to handle the changes being done

That's not terrible. It's obvious you're not right next to a tower but that's an acceptable signal. I believe that's CDMA correct?
Has your signal decreased or has it always been like that?

 

[Thatdad]

Yes it's the last CDMA metro is selling. How do I find out what firmware version my phone is?

It's a huawei Premia btw.

Your phone is not on that list. If it was affected you would probably have lost data connectivity some time ago.
You can find the firmware version in Settings/About phone. There should also be an option to check for updates.
So what makes you think you have a problem?

That's the new phone I believe. It maybe gsm.

 

[BigKeenan]

Never mind the new phone is the valiant

I just payed my bill. I'm on the $40 plan, so I have limited 4g lte.

When I payed my speed was exactly the same after my 4g got throttled last month.

It seems like it should be alot faster, especially since I'm in a 'Metropcs home location'

So your issue is with data speed not signal strength.
Even though you just paid your bill, are you sure you're past the end of your billing cycle? That date is what determines when your throttling resets, not when you pay the bill.

My billing cycle is the 3rd.

And I only get 2 bars out here. I should be getting full almost everywhere. My dad has the lg motion or whatever it's called and he has mostly full signal.
