Cellular Data problem

[gtt1]

At the beach and was getting 3g to 4g showing on my phone (stock not rooted). Mail, chrome, maps and other programs were not getting data. I set up my tether to my tablet and it was able to use the data to connect with things just fine. Normally I have no problem with cell data. I assume the signal was not as strong as usual at the beach but it did show 4g and 3g and I would have thought if my tablet was able to receive the tether and load data fine the phone should have.

Under apn I have T-mobile US LTE-fast t-mobile.com

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Do you mean under "T-Mobile US LTE" APN you have that? Ensure it has the dot --- fast.t-mobile.com

data roaming intervened because when the signal is under roaming is activated and therefore becomes more tmobile. contact tmobile and they will explain better

Don't understand where data roaming comes in. I am pretty sure I am using T-Mobile tower. I get no roaming with my plan so I would get no data on my phone to use or tether.
