Of course they make up for it by being really cool, and cheap to boot.  |
Oh yeah, I'm well aware of the T-Mobile coverage issues, especially from the back of my house... But this isn't so much of a coverage issue, looks like they systematically changed their timeout settings on their APN servers, basically not holding connections open for us for nearly as long. Seems to have just happened a few days ago.
Of course it could be something we're doing in the app, but radio usage generally drains a lot more than some simple graphics, it's not as if we added full motion video...
Anyway, we hope to work around this problem with some smarter retry logic. We haven't seen any changes from other carriers.
