  Hey there!

   

  As an avid Pokemon go player, and as someone who has read a ton on forums, it's really going to be a location thing. If you are in an area that has low signal that other carriers have higher signal, you will have more or a problem because it needs to connect to server. However, for the most part, I have seen everyone struggle equally because most of the freezing is on the side of Niantic.

   

  I've seen a theory for iPhone users that disabling LTE helps on all carriers, but I'm not an iPhone user so I can't say for sure either way!

   

  Expect the game to be a lot smoother once the game servers are more stable.

    What do you mean that t-mobile doesn't support it well? What is happening for you?

     

    I only notice lag or problems when near a gym. But that is the same problem that was previously referred to here by Lauren and is an issue with niantic servers not being able to handle the load.

      I imagine OP is referring to the freezing when you catch a Pokemon, and then it taunts you as the Pokeball sits there and stares at you while not letting you know if you caught that 540 Venemoth...
