Well it's only been half a day and I haven't restarted my phone since, for fear of messing it up, but somehow just putting a new networks SIM into my phone alongside my old one has gotten it to work (on 4g with a constant signal). Even though the other SIM is switched off. Part of me wants to...

I'm going to try the different carrier SIM first. And I might even push my luck and take my phone in to an o2 store and see if I can pique their curiosity enough to take a look and maybe chat with tech support. Giff gaff runs off of o2's British network after all. I'm still very open to trying...

Ah yes I did try the reset that way yesterday. I just forgot to list it. I remember because I had to re-pair my Bluetooth speaker. For some reason when I change my network settings they just go back to the faulty one. But even if I could make it stay on GMS it's less than ideal. Lol every...

I know. It's really bizarre isn't it. I haven't tried a factory reset yet because it really seems like such a shame- I don't have anywhere to back up my data so will literally lose almost everything... Once I've exhausted all options and lost all hope rather than just my sanity, I'll try a...

But the default configuration has worked for the previous six months before this started happening. It's not like it isn't finding a strong useable 4g signal with it, just won't keep loading it until the use of flight mode to wake it up. Also- the config I changed it to can only receive 3g...

Giffgaff doesn't have a store they are online only. Doesn't this strike you as a handset issue then? I'm confused ??????

This setting has the same problem for me, it drops and I can only use it again once I've used airplane mode. Also- does your phone default back to its original preferred network when you close the testing menu or reset? I can't find a way to make my choice 'stick'

I thought that whilst you're away I'd share the list of things I tried whilst using LTE/UMTS before I found the half fix- I checked for planned works or disturbances in my area with my network carrier. I should be getting full service. I checked and then for the hell of it reset and manually...

That's totally fine. Thanks so much for your time so far :)

Yes. I've reset and manually entered the correct APN details

I'm in the UK trying to use it here

Hi! I'm using Giffgaff. There's no works locally, and my SIM works fine in my other phone

When my phone is using LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) as it's preferred network type, data keeps becoming unavailable and stops loading Every 30secs-2mins. Won't start again until I switch airplane mode on and off. Curiously, switching my data on and off has no effect. However, GSM Auto (PRL) will...

OK. Progress.... Ish. So, when I'm on that ping test page and set my preferred network type to GSM Auto (PRL) I seem to only get 3g but, more importantly, it holds signal like it should However, whenever I restart my phone or even just close the testing tab in the background it defaults...
