5G mobile network. I live in an area where 5G is not yet available, but it is available on nearby transmitters about 3-4 km away. My old phone sometimes picked up a very weak signal from it, but it couldn't hold out and the phone switched to LTE+. The OnePlus 13 is paradoxically sometimes more sensitive, that is, than ever.. and it probably picks up a 5G signal, in my case the well-spreading 700Mhz band aka Band n28. But it is still so weak that it cannot use it, as if it only detected this band in the air and immediately wildly indicated 5G on the signal icon. I check which network the phone is actually connected to without any fabrications via NetMonster, thanks to which I know that the OnePlus13 simply distorts or incorrectly evaluates the signal situation.
Is there any way to prevent the phone from falling into the old 2G? For other brands, e.g. Samsung, the 2G data option can be turned off and the network preference is now only either LTE preference or 5G preference.
and that's the difference between different brands, everyone can install the latest HW but debugging the SW obviously takes a lot of effort... and time. But the user would like a ready-made solution right the first time.
Is there a way to provide feedback so that the manufacturer can address this ?
This shouldn't happen with a phone that costs almost 1000 Euros...
