What is Carrier Hub App?

An Android app, Carrier hub is well known for having amazing features such as Voice over WiFi which is supported on Sprint or T-mobile network. Aside from that, Carrier also provides assistance to Sprint/T-mobile’s network engineering for customer-reported service concerns. 

In Google Play, you will find Carrier Hub by Sprint and Carrier Hub Magenta by T-Mobile USA. Do not worry, you do not have to be confused as both of them have the same features as Sprint and T-Mobile have merged in 2020. 

This app is pre-installed in some phones. However, if yours is not pre-installed, you might be getting constant notifications for you to download the app. Once you get a notification, we suggest that you tap on it and follow on-screen instructions on how to download and install it. If you keep getting notifications, this means that the app has failed to download.

Issues Caused by Carrier Hub App 

• Drains battery faster – there have been several reports of battery draining issues after updating and installing Carrier hub app. 
• High Data Consumption – the app usually keeps on running in the background which could consume more data compared to other apps. 
• Negative Performance – the most common negative performance is usually phone freezing and lagging. 

MCM Client Requests Are Processing Meaning 

Mobile Content Management (MCM) processing is usually an issue for those who have this app. This means that you will receive notifications after restarting your device. The reason behind this is because your device would try to connect to the cell towers but once your phone has connected to the cell towers, the notifications would disappear. Though that is the case, keep in mind that if you are in an area where the connection keeps dropping, you will get a constant notification. 

Moreover, if T-mobile is under maintenance, unfortunately, you would still get a connection request. You will also not be able to use call, text and data service. If that is the case, we highly recommend that you reach to T-mobile.

One solution could be clearing cache from the settings. To do this, all you have to do is go to settings. Then, select apps and tap on carrier hub. Go to Storage and clear cache. If this does not solve the issue, force stop the app or if you wish you could also factory reset your phone.
