Almost full LTE bar+LTE signal booster and some calls not going through?

I've been stock, Dynamic Kat, Fire Kat you name it.
So long story short, I have little to no signal in my room (2/10 calls will go through) the rest will go to voicemail and won't even give me a notification someone called. I also don't get any data or extremely slow when I'm lucky
So I tried the T mobile LTE signal booster and I can finally get data on my phone at slow speeds of 3mbps or even goes to 1 sometimes (I get 8mbps in the living room)
So now I still get random voicemails from my job or friends, I don't know how often this happens but it does happen....I always see a random voicemail without my phone ringing Wierd thing is I get FULL LTE or 4G bars
I tried using wifi preferred for wifi calling and cell data preferred and still happens, I even reseted my APN by deleting it, turning it off and taking the battery out so the APN would reset (I also added 80 to one of the apn settings, seen a thread this would help with texting and receiving mms) Do you guys use ipv4 or ipv6?
. I never had a problem like this with AT&T do you guys have any idea what could be wrong?
I kept having this problem.. Long story short.. I swapped note 4s thru tmobile and no longer have that issue.. All I was getting was voice-mails and text messages sometimes from people that called letting me know they called

Cell connection issues

Me and my girlfriend have been having a bit of trouble with our T-Mobile Note 4s. Sometimes I have full 4G and can't make calls or send text but I have fast data connection, sometimes I have full 4G and then the 4G drops and I can just call and text and not have data and it last until I restart my phone. This will randomly happen 10+ times a day and it is not a fun process.

Bump
It would help if your were to tell us where you are, I.e. location, city, state. Did you have this problem previously with tmobile using a different phone? Do your have this problem everywhere you go?
Is the issue only at your home? Bad sim ?

Data Speed issue...AT&T or hardware?

After losing radio streams several times on my Note 8 (and never recovering the stream) I called AT&T about the issue. They said my phone was not provisioned correctly (old sim card from 8+, wrong imei version??). Said this would fix data speeds.
Instead phoned stopped working, no calls. I called on another phone and they got voice and text working, but data speeds we still slow, either no data or a max of 4 mbps on fast.com (versus 30 mbps on iphone 6 at same location).
They want to replace phone. Is this a common issue? I searched here and saw some setting tips, but they were already enabled.
Thanks
I did have issues with speed and signal strength. https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-note-8/help/factory-unlocked-note-8-slow-lte-speeds-t3680090 I performed the steps in this post and it got me faster speeds and a bit better signal. Not sure if you tried it yet but I would suggest doing as it won't hurt anything. I too have an old sim card that was first in my iPhone 7+, then my S8+ and now in my Note8.
Thanks I did that and was already set-up as indicated and it did not help.

Dual SIM: network drop when switching data sim

Hello,
I own a P20 Pro Dual Sim and I noticed that when I switch data from a SIM to the other one, both SIMs go offline for a few seconds before completing the procedure (screenshot attached).
It's a very annoying thing, because I often use the phone in difficult areas where I need a fast commutation. Is it working as intended?
I'm asking since I also have a Oneplus 6 where data switch is instantaneous with no network drop at all, so I wonder if there's something wrong with my device.
Thank you!

Yep, I was surprised myself when I saw it but probably it changes radios when switching between sims.
Another thing that I have noticed is that although I have data by default in second Sim, when I am in a call the data instantly switches to first sim.

Yes, if you call using SIM1, then SIM2 goes temporarily offline (so no data too) and to avoid being off the internet it switches data to SIM1 that it's the only one available at that moment.
At least.. This is how I understood.
Never mind, wrong forum

S10 loosing network connection on both sims

I have S10 bought in UK dual sim. I have two sim inserted slot one UK and slot two foreign sim. They both were working fine until recently.
For the last two weeks both have started loosing connection to network. It is for few seconds 5-10 times a day. Initialy this was with foreign sim and this morning the same happened with the UK sim.
I have tried all options in sim card manager, mobile networks and to restart the phone. Still the same.
I have dropped phone twice but this was some time ago so I do not think this is related.
Anyone have experienced something similar on any suggestions how to fix it?
Many thanks

Yes, I keep losing data connection. I have bars but no data, I have a U.S. sim and a UK sim. Sometimes turning on/off airplane mode helps, other times I have to restart the phone only to get yet another annoying notification telling me I have no network connection. I just installed the latest update, we'll have to see if it stops.
I was decided to do factory reset as a last resort but I thought that maybe I will start with other options and I did the Reset network settings.
So far all good. For the last two days no single issue with loosing network connection.
