Anyone else having problem activating galaxy watch 4 as standalone?
So I just got two LTE galaxy watch 4's to use when I don't want to carry my phone with me (while exercising). After spending two hours at a T-Mobile store and another hour on the phone with a technician, they escalate and another tech comes on and advises me that the galaxy watch 4 cannot be used as a standalone on t mobile. It can only be used when connected and near the phone its paired with! WHY would T-Mobile sell an LTE watch that can only be used when connected to the phone? That is called a Bluetooth watch! Very frustrated with them wasting 3 hours of my time, when this could have been mentioned when the watches were ordered. And even then, why sell LTE watches instead of Bluetooth watches? Has anyone one had this issue?
Watch4 LTE - no texts
Phone: Galaxy A51 5G Watch: Samsung Watch4 LTE version - received 4 days ago I purchased a Watch4 to be able to go running/biking & still receive calls/textswithout having to take my phone with me. I received my watch on Thursday & started setting it up. I noticed that the ability to receive calls/texts on my watch when on LTE wasn't working properly. On Saturday, I stopped in to my local retail location. The folks there were so great & super helpful. After some troubleshooting, they reset my network on their side to see if that may help whatever is going on. After doing this,my watch started receiving phone calls on LTE. However, it was still not receiving testing text messages. The poor guy helping me tried everything he could think of to get this working but was ultimately not successful. At one point, we did see a message on the watch (which is no longer there) that said there's a setting on the phone which was making it unable to receive texts. The message didn't say what setting it was, though, so we went through every setting we could possibly thinkof, short of resetting the entire phone. Does anyone know of what else I can do to get texts successfully going to my watch while on LTE? This is the entire reason I bought the watch at all so not having that functionality is very disappointing.
H+ not LTE with Pixel 4XL
All of a sudden my Pixel 4XL started connecting to E or H+ and will no longer connect to LTE. I've restarted my phone and removed the SIM and had the phone re-register with the T-MOBILE network; all to no avail. Suggestions on what it might be? T-MOBILE folks --- any help??? Thx, guzzel
