Internet issues on unlocked phone

[Beth Hahn]

Okay so the past two phones that I have bought I decided to get it unlocked model to work on Verizon. So far everything has been okay so I thought but I do delivery apps like GrubHub and stuff like that. and a lot of times when I go to sign on those apps it'll tell me that I do not have a stable internet connection and I spoke with GrubHub today and they did confirm that my internet will keep shutting off and on like every minute or so. I have reset the phone numerous times I've reset my network settings factory reset the phone and still having the issue I also did get a new SIM card for Verizon as well. So I'm curious if there's a way to potentially fix this. I also thought about flashing Verizon's from where on here just to see if that makes a difference.

Do you have a week signal when this happens?

I barely ever have full signal even though I'm in a bigger city a lot of times it's only one or two bars. It bounces around a lot. Now if I do flash Verizon firmware on here since it's unlocked will I be able to flash the regular firmware back onto it?

Are you asking if you can flash back to unlocked firmware? If so, yes

You can flash to carrier firmware and back to stock , let me know!

Did anyone else catch this? Exactly how can GH confirm that? That sounds really odd to me.

I drive for GrubHub so they can see when I'm online and not when I'm on a shift

Forgive me it's been so long since I've done any flashing of firmware from the good old days of different roms. I know it erases the phone but does it erase the sd card in the phone? Eh I'll take it out just in case.

I can give you a guide and tools where to download the firmware , it's straight forward and yes anytime you go to Carrier version to unlock version or vise versa it will factory reset so back up everything, and I would take the sd card out

Can't recall if people with carrier versions from. AT&T or Verizon bug had better connection if they disabled the 5G option... so flashing might be worth try.

Sorry brain is slow lol. So if I'm going to flash Verizon's firmware then I would download the latest Verizon one correct? Bc if I search by model number won't it give me the unlocked version I'm on?

Your phone shouldn't need any software and should work fine if you have a good internet connection. Have you tested your speeds?

Correct look for Verizon carrier model number not the unlocked usual U at the end not U1 which is unlocked
