Hi. Im in uk and have f2 pro 5g. I have in settings set prefer network to 5g. 5g is not available where i am at all. My problem is my mobile data (working fine with lots of other phones so not signal related) sometimes just stops working.
I have set to prefer to 4g and still the same. I have updated my apn settings ( not much to change) and done factory reset. I have looked on the dial *#*#4636#*#* and i have phone info 1 and phone info 2. I go to set network type and have a list. Whenever i chose one after reboot it changes back to unknown. (Please see pics)
Any ideas???
Thanks guys.
Hello mate, phenomenally I've just received the phone yesterday. Beautiful phone. However I've come to notice the same issue. Changing over prefer lte or 5g does nothing. The only real fix is switching off data and switching it back on. Never had this issue with all my previous phones, including realme, oneplus and Huawei. It's most probably a software fault. But it's making me want to return it.
Im noticing the following, switching WiFi off when outside doesn't cause the issue but need further testing to confirm.
I read about that bug but I can not confirm it. If you turn on 5G you can only use 1 sim card but 5G is anyways almost useles on this device (only N77/N78)
3 uk is on N78

Agree, I live in Puerto Rico and it doesn't even have T-Mobiles band 66 LTE. Incredible that a phone powered by a SD 865 lack of all of these. Software updates are super bad, I haven't got 1 single update and 5G on this phone is useless.
Is anyone else getting freezing using chrome browser? If so what browser do you recommend? I've tried Firefox to and Opera for some reason this phone hates. I don't get why this phone is so slow. Mine takes a minute to process anything. Really hope they fix these software hickups. I guess FR but that would be a big job. The battery consumption seems to be the only best feature on this phone.
Yes, seems like it's a OnePlus problem. No one has a solution that I've seen yet.
I just minimize Chrome and reopen it and it works again.

It's not just on this phone. I just came from the Essential phone and Chrome's been doing that for months. It's Chrome, not the phone. I don't think the built in webview is playing nice with the os. Maybe try Chrome beta?
Question: are you using a custom DNS or VPN?

It's also happening to me, I don't use any VPNs nor DNS. I think this is a OnePlus Problem, maybe they'll address it in the next update. Let's report this problem guys
Edit : I'm not on a Verizon version, mine is IN2010
Funny thing is whenever chrome freezes, going to the home screen and returning back to the app fixes the issue ??*

It's not OnePlus, it's Chrome. Acts the same way on the Essential PH-1. Try Safari or Microsoft Edge browser, or any one that uses Android web view.

The fix is to install another web browser, then go to apps in the settings and inactivate Chrome. Haven't had single hickup since I did this.

Nice. Glad I came across this noticed it instantly when I first got this phone back in April course I couldn't find anything about it then. And oddly it seems like it is way worse and 90htz. Was about to return too vzw. Honestly was thinking it may be a device issue Till I read posts Any suggestions? Gonna try brave
Not really sure where to ask this question but Verizon OnePlus 8 UW. No root or anything outta the norm. Constantly having intermittent data loss, intermittent hotspot loss, calls and texts as well I'm sure since they pushed an update couple weeks back. Message I get from there network troubleshooter says( Your phone can't auto switch too a faster network if it's available. Your better off too use Cdma/Lte or global mode for better signal strength). Far as I know Cdma had been reserved for EMT/Fire etc. Problem seems too arise only when the silly 5g icon comes up. So thinking when it tries too switch too 5g its having that intermittent loss going back to global mode an getting hung up somehow as a simple restart fixes it temporarily. If I was rooted I believe a prl or apn change would fix it maybe. So tired of dealing with Verizon techs, Any help it fix would be great

Sorry ta hear I've done a lot of searching and can't seem to resolve it. Dealing with Verizon it's just getting so old I believe I'm going to just try an root, flash, etc. That or go T-Mobile. If I may ask are you in the States? I'm in Florida btw. Very populated city Clearwater is a big fact and it's a problem all around
I've had Verizon family plan for 20 years now. So I have to deal with it. I remember buying old Galaxy s3 and moding the hell out of it. But I'm older and don't have time like I did when I was younger so I'm stuck. The problems on my OP8 5G UW just accelerated. I'm pretty sure it's software related. Last system update was a "network improvements" haha- yeah right! Since after I've been in hours and hours in Verizon chats, calls, I've spoke to OnePlus techs, I've done replacements, sim swaps, clean resets. Nothing is working to resolve my 1mbps download speed network is slow as hell, 17 Meg's 20 min. Tomorrow I'm talking Verizon tech to get my 4th replacement turned in and hopefully get a Galaxy S10 FE. I always wanted ONEPLUS but not this way. I'm done

I'm in Frederic Michigan, near Grayling. Rural area, but Verizon is king up here. And, with a low population density, I've had really great service for years. Up until recently. Wife has a Galaxy Note 9 and doesn't have half the issues.
So update. I wasn't allowed to move on to another phone with old big red. I exhausted my replacements with Verizon my only option now is to pay this off and move on. I did get some slight improvements turning the automatic to manual in Network Mode. It seems like I don't have the constant 5g/4g fight. As for original topic, I use the Samsung browser and I don't have any hanging or freezing.
Yea I'm kinda and the same boat got a phone didn't work good paid it off early got the OnePlus and now this I did switch to manual too and it helped a little bit. But not a lot we can do I definitely won't be buying any more Vzw phones. I can't even maintain consistent hotspot for over 30 40 minutes ever since past update. I have the 5G icon now that's not really 5G speed at all. I've gotten true 5G on this phone a couple times and it's amazingly fast. The 5G icon fades an drops too 4g when it does it kicks me off discos hotspot an network sometimes. I just don't have the will to deal with tier 3 tech anymore lol. I had prepaid for seven years with Verizon and it worked flawless many different phones over the years soon as I got postpaid went to hell

I'm in New Orleans and delt with all Network connection problems too. I'm on my 3 rd replacement and spent hours, days, and weeks ping-ponging through Verizon finest bull**** techs, Verizon sent me to OnePlus tech where the tech there referred me CDMA LESS and after a long work about found out that I was already on CDMA LESS. The only thing that helped other than bazilion factory resets and it's not the solution by any means is turn the automatic best Network set it to manual Verizon 4g. You still get the stupid 5g emblem but I've noticed an improvement as in connectivity. Not stable, I get interference and dropped calls all the time. Also i read something on how Verizon used cheaper antennas for their fake 5g push. Also could this be a conflict with Oxygen? I'm reading a lot of similar Network issues after updates.
Right on thanks, Not sure if manual mode actually sticks. Does it just switch back? But yes I too figured it'd help out. When I do let's say Run a diagnostic from Verizon's app one of the first things it says is this phone cannot auto connect to use lte/cdma for better signal. And that's wild it's connected and automatic mode. So it's obvious it's a hardware issue or software issue on their end. If they would allow you to control the phone we could fix it. Just got my first replacement today. Fixing the boot it up soon and see what the deal is software wise etc etc. The connectivity issue were both having is just 1 issue lol. I've got six or eight more easy. Mine seems like it's good data connection wise either with the fake 5g icon or without it. Bars will start fluctuating pretty rapidly (It's searching) I'll lose the 5G icon in turn lose hotspot lose date connection etc. Then it will come back with no 5G icon, connect, Be gr8 for about 10min or I reset prl & net setting. Someone tell me there 5g for most parts like here & there is basically just a glorified 4G LTE. There 5g coverage map clearly says or did there's no 5g here. I believe this to be true as I have connected to real vzw 5g in Tampa an you can tell big time!! This 5g even with there signal booster they sent me is not any if all better than 4g. Could kinda care less about the 5g it's the consistent intermittent network issues. Pls lmk what you find out either by p.m. or what have ya. I'll do the same. I'm gonna try this new vzw root I believe an switch too global or whatever I need too do weather it voids certain things or not lol. Sorry 4 the long read but wanted give ya what I knew. Here's a shot of there diagnostic mess. From vzw. An a shot of real 5g speed test before the updated deal that displays the 5g icon
Hi everyone. I purchased a OnePlus 8 5G directly from OnePlus, running on the T-Mobile network. After trying to figure out why I didn't receive the T-Mobile 5G SA update (10.5.17.IN55CB), I realized my phone is running the international version of the software. I guess this is because it's factory unlocked but I didn't realize this would limit my access to T-Mobile 5G updates! I never travel internationally and don't really care about an unlocked bootloader, etc. as long as the SIM is unlocked.
Can I manually download and install the T-Mobile software so I will get the 5G SA update (and future T-Mobile OTA updates)?
i was also wondering if that would make a difference. maybe someone could provide the modem.img from that update, if it changed. flashing the euro modem on the international rom definitely made a difference for me. not really with speed but overall coverage and stability.

Guys I'm on TMO but switched over to global voluntarily. Honestly check out TMO 5G info and you'll find it's not as great as you think. It's the beginning of a software change. Veteran modders know the beginning of updates have a lot of bugs.
If you really want it then get the MSM Tool, downgrade to 10.5.7 and let it upgrade you manually to 10.5.17. then you can get back to global if you'd like with the modem. Happy modding!
Thanks, it sounds like it was premature. I live in a rural area and my main concerns are 1) better (not reliant on LTE) 600Mhz coverage and 2) lower latency.
Do you think the global software line will get an SA update down the road? Are there any other difference between the global and T-Mobile line of software that would affect my coverage performance with LTE or 5G?

Great question, This is my first OnePlus phone so I can't tell you if and when gonna will get the update. What I have heard of that TMO is rolling out 5G in several layers. This first one is pretty low key but it had some books already. Second and third would be better. I guess check around here to see more about it. If you are absolutely sure you want this update then you can use MSM took to downgrade then just let the TMO servers do the work for you. Happy modding!

I would be surprised if the global version got an update for SA 5g. That's TMO specific and OnePlus would have zero care about a specific carrier of all the world's carriers .
There are differences in modems according to TMobile. I can't remember specifics but I think it was carrier aggregation on band 66 ( I don't remember much so I may be way off)

Yeah, I figured that was unlikely with the global version, although I'm sure carriers across the world will begin deploying SA 5G at some point.
I was going to start a new thread but after you notes about the modem differences, this might relate to another issue I've noticed: When connected to Band 2 (1900 Mhz) with LTE or 5G, I was getting really good speeds (~30Mbps Down/5Mbps Up). Now, when I test using 5G or LTE (by turning off 5G) my speed tests are horrible: ~1Mbps Down/0.7Mbps Up. I have tested with "Smart 5G" on and off, and also removed and reinstalled the SIM card. If I pop the SIM card out and put it back into my Pixel 2, I get 30Mpbs Down/5Mpbs Up with LTE on Band 2. My Pixel 2 was purchased directly from Google and is factory unlocked/direct Google updates.
Do you think this is because of the carrier agg issue you mentioned? In my area Band 4/Band 66 is only used for T-Mobile 2G/3G, to my knowledge. LTE is offered on Bands 2, 12, and 71. 5G NR seems to only be on Band 71 here at present.

Josh, not often this happens, but I disagree with what you say here. Normally I agree with everything you post. However, this time I have to disagree.
5G SA is not at all T-Mo specific and is a standardized implementation for carriers should they choose to go that route.
However, OnePlus caring about it is up in the air, lulz!
See here: https://ibasis.com/what-is-5g-sa-nsa/
5G SA means stand alone. This means that the device will only ride on 5G and not aggregate with 4G.
If I am wrong please correct me. Thanks!

I and many others posted that they cannot get the update. Those that did said they had connectivity issues. I suspect that T-Mo pulled the update. I don't know this for fact, however I cannot get the update. T-Mo site says check back after 8/31. That's crazy weird. Others also complain. I think the update is borked hence the lack of wide roll out. . Again, dont know this for fact but just speculating...

For sure. I do stand corrected here on SA. I was referring to the specific bands that TMobile uses for SA 5g vs world bands SA 5g but who knows if that's impossible but I, like you, think that OP will not care about it or would screw it up.
As for the modem differences, I was referring to an older post from TMobile on their forums during the 6t launch days so I can't really remember exactly what it was. I think if you searched my posts from way you could find it
Speaking of, I am incredibly disappointed in tmos 5g. I'm lucky to get 20 dl. Are you having any better luck

Yeah I think you are right. As soon as it was available it became unavailable. They will roll it out when those bugs are fixed. This is one of the reasons I don't like TMO stock. They are buggy and slow to update. Not to mention all the bloatware.

History of my observations...
When I first switched to T-Mobile with the 6T the speeds were great. Well, decent. But around the time the S20 series came out I noticed extreme sluggishness with the 6T. Compared it to the people in the store and there's wer the same. A massive down turn in speed. I suspect it had something to do with the implementation of 5G in the area. It was my guess... Anways, moved back to T-Mobile two months ago and got this phone. The speeds are even worse. So this phone on 5G is just as bad as LTE. I disabled 5G and tested. Same results.
Long story short, T-mobile did something and slowed my connection down.
Your lucky. Very luck. I routinely get 2 to 5 mbs when I am home. In town I dont think I got over 25Mbs. AT&T has the best network in Fargo. 200MBS down on S20U all day!
Hi guys,
recently I upgraded my Poco F1 to F2 Pro and I'm loving the hell out of it. But there's one problem. I've attached my bank cards to my Google Pay account to pay with them via NFC. However, my Poco after connecting with the terminal pops up an alert in Google Pay "It isn't working" with a pic of my card and red circle with exclamation mark inside. I've changed my NFC setting to mobile HCE wallet, reset my NFC functionality and nothing works. I'm currently on MIUI 12.0.3.0 Stable. It doesn't work on either of my cards. Could you please help me sort this out? I'd be grateful
Can't help you, but I also have a problem with NFC... my Bluetooth speaker which supports NFC doesn't work with this phone via NFC. It works however with all other phones in the house.
I will really consider not buying another Xiaomi phone, since they have many features advertised, but some don't really work (like 5G, which only supports 2 bands).

5G works, just not with your provider which doesn't support those bands. That's not Xiaomi's fault.
Yes , I know it supports exactly 2 bands. If you're from a country in the middle of EU, that will not likely have those 2 bands, you're f****. I mentioned this, because I also have a RN5, that was advertised as having AI which it never had/got to this day.
I like the phone, but it has many bugs. But this is already off topic.

These are the 5g bands allocated for France, Italy, Spain, Germany etc.
So europa, no problems
So what about NFC problem? I do have the same problem with banking app, it even does not finds NFC.

Hi there,
Got a transparent M10 Ultra from Wanda Mobile a few weeks ago. It come with a screen protector already applied (not sure if this comes in the box as standard?) and had Google Play preinstalled (though if I had realised I would have asked for a sealed box...). Anyway, after the week of waiting, unlocked and flashed stable Xiaomi.eu ROM and updated to latest (12.0.14) at the weekend. When I was out and about though I noticed that I rarely had 4G on GiffGaff (02) and dug into the settings.
My SIM is in slot 2 and the 'Phone information 2' showed 'unknown' for 'Set Preferred Network Type'. Popping the SIM back into my trusty Poco F1 it showed it as 'LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS', and I have now changed the Ultras settings to this. However, when I went back into this earlier it had gone back to 'Unknown'.....
If anyone could help with their settings it would be much appreciated. Any comments on Wanda Mobile also welcome...
Cheers,
Mark
The phone has no band 20. O2 and carriers that use O2 like sky and gifgaf use band 20 for 4G, so sorry any mast that uses band 20, you're on 3G or 5G. Some local area masts for O2 do use other bands for 4G but most are on it. Three, Voda and EE are fine.
I've had my ultra since launch and to be honest as everyone is using 4G and not 3G, the 3G data throughput I get is superb, so not really missing it. My second sim is EE for work, 4G is not an issue.
My advice, put it in SIM 1 use default settings.
Ahhh. Many thanks that, and for many of the other posts you have made here which have helped me out no end. So now I need to look for an alternative to GiffGaff (which has been great as I work offshore, so only need data every other month....).
Seems I must be super unlucky to have picked the Ultra then (and my previous Poco F1 does has band 20...)! But so far finding it a great phone. I thought I saw you post somewhere about loading up the Chinese camera version, but cannot seem to find that post now....
No, not me with the China camera I'm afraid. The EU ROM uses the same camera app as stock, a different app would just not be practical to make when the EU ROMs are all based on the stock released versions. So if there are any changes in the stock app, it will be the same in the EU app. You can download the Gcam downloader from playstore and it links to a Xiaomi friendly gcam version.
I know EE works fine for sure on the Ultra as I've got it in SIM 2, no problems with 4G as it doesn't use band 20 for its 4G, if it helps. I'm sure there must a a cheap offer for someone using EEs infrastructure.
Not sure where I got that info then, but what you say makes sense. That said, I'm still bemused why there is the 108MP option in the stock app (and what does it do if you click it...). I installed the Nikita GCam and XML, but unusually am not seeing any great uplift from what I am taking. However, I would like to totally disable any beautify in the stock app, but not found a way to do that yet...
I found EE Flex which has the ability to pause the plan, but nothing else so far that compares to GiffGaff as in only paying for a single months bundle....
I did see 1pmobile on EE, but think that could get expensive on data...

Although 1pmobile uses the EE network, 4G speed is capped at 20 mb/s so you should bear this in mind. The other option on PAYG is Asda mobile which also piggy backs off EE network.
A cost effective option is to use an EE preloaded 24gb data sim which lasts for a year as a second sim for the times you can't get a decent signal with your other sim.
I use Three network and have had no issues in my area (NE UK) getting 4G+ (50 mb/s) and occasionally can get 5G (180 mb/s download speed)
It doesn't look like you can get the EE preloaded 24gb data now... when I search and click, it takes me to a page where they now offer 30 & 90 day data sims... Asda Mobile looks promising though as an alternative to GiffGaff. Certainly looks like it is a true 30 day bundle (and not a reoccurring one)...
