will tmobile users ever get to use the newer Os's?

I have the 9530, and i LOVE how fast the newer OS's are. i cant use the storm on the slower choppy OS's. i have tried alot of the hybrids and i am just no where near as happy with them as the newer ones, but i get the dreaded "no circuit no channel" error. Will this ever be fixed you think?

also, does anyone use there storms on tmoible even with the no circuit error? i was thinking of doing it. all i would not have is the "phone" part, which i dont use alot any way. just wondering....

THanks in advance

I have not heard anyone saying that they have tried. I have to tell you I doubt that will every be purposely fixed. Because of the fact the phone is not made for T-mobile so they dont test it on that network. They test it on the networks that sell the phone.

but do you think it will be "fixed" by a hybrid? i wish it was just as easy as swapping radio files :)

I dont think it can be. Because the radio file is what is causing it, and none of the working radio files are not compatible with the newer os java. I know not what you wanted to hear.. they call me the dream crusher lmao

I cant 100% confirm or deny as I havent heard. I would assume it would be the same problem.

I had that no circuit problem with both my 9500 and my 9520 on TMO when running OS 5.0. Finally the .402 leaked versions for these phones fixed my voice problems on TMO.

I guess you will have to wait until a 9530 version leaks. YouMail also works on both phones.

I just got the Storm 2 4 days ago and switched to Verizon from T-Mobile----I never had any issues with the 9530 and the no circuit/channel error. I ran every OS and BBC Hybrid available and never once had that issue. My conclusion is simply bad luck! I dunno, I'll never understand that error message. My Storm never had any issues on T-Mobile with that error. Sorry for your bad luck there.

Whatever the TMO problem is was, it was geographic

All I can say is now it works for me

5.0.0.419 Fixed that problem i think.. cause i "haven't" had the problem appear on my phone for a while after the upgrade
