My Wing: No Signal!! but GF's Wing: SIGNAL, wtf?

[ryansofresh]

Hey fellow XDA member's... I have a problem.

I recently bought a T-Mobile Wing from some guy off an internet forum. Everything working fine.

When I first got it, I've been having poor signal in some places, and normal signal in other places. I didn't really think much of it..

So yeah, I flashed to Ttran's Open Touch 4.0, also flashed the 3.19.90 radio rom, installed some cabs, you know the usual, and my phone is perfect.

So me and my girlfriend were at a party, and I was looking at her phone, she has like 3 bars of signal, and my phone has NO signal (searching). By the way, her phone is T-Mobile stock, never flashed any ROMS, etc. BONE STOCK.

So, I switch sim cards from hers to mine and vice versa, and my sim card works great in her phone (good signal), and her sim card in mine has no signal, so I guess it's my phone and not the sim card.

This happened a couple times like at the mall, friend's houses, etc. where she has signal, and I have NO signal.

So, anyone know what the problem is with my signal?
What can I do? Why is this happening?
Should I call 611 (T-Mobile Customer Service) and tell them my problem?
Go to the T-Mobile Store and ask? (& Flash my ROM back to stock, or it doesn't matter)

Sorry for the long read, but this signal thing is pissing me off, haha :mad:

So, please respond and help me out, thanks! :D

I recently had the same problem. My phone just all of a sudden would not find a signal. It sounds like you have a bad sim card. If you call corporate, and tell them about your problem, they should give you a credit on your account, and send you to an authorized tmobile store and get a new sim card for free.

Wait, just reread what you posted. Your sim card worked fine in hers, and her sim got little reception on yours? You could try flashing to a different radio version.

does your GF's wing have the same radio rom?
If not, then its the radio rom
i've read that 3.19.90 totally kills GSM reception
