Re: T-Mobile 5G Connection Issues causing missed Texts, Calls, and Voicemail - NO DATA!

I have disabled 5g n71 (SA/NSA) as it typically has performance issues in urban areas. 4G LTE will typically give me 150-400Mbps, and 5G UC will give 500-1400Mbps. As far as Apple goes, i can't speak much for it, but have heard of some issues. If you disable n71 (easy on Samsung), you'll at least get LTE 600 in weak areas. What are these mystical speeds of which you speak? Going through my entire speedtest history on my S21, highest I've ever seen on mobile is 232 Mbps and that was on 5G (my home wifi is routinely 450+). And that test was made somewhere in downtown Austin, which tends to get early roll out of every new Cellular technology. Even that speed though doesn't bother me, I have no heavy demands on data, mostly just streaming Spotify and using Google maps driving around. What is getting me is when I have 5G signal but no data AT ALL. I'd wouldn't notice if it was over 10 Mbps, really I wouldn't 99% of the time, but ZERO is unacceptable when it says I should have data (and the S21 can't figure this situation out). I will look up disabling n71, see if maybe that helps.6Visto1like0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile 5G Connection Issues causing missed Texts, Calls, and Voicemail - NO DATA!
Glad to know it is not just me. Between my family we have Galaxy S21s, S20s, and the A32 5G, and all exhibit this horrible "silent no connection" issue on 5G (Slightly over from the previous poster in Austin, TX). I'll have 5 BARS at 5G UC, but can't get an SMS out, and Speedtest can't even find a server to start. I switch it to force LTE and I get 4 bars but 140 Mbps data. Seriously WTF. It's really annoying though is that some of the 5G bands do better in dense areas or inside a building (walking aroundan outdoor outlet mall,perfect example of this), LTE in that environment is bad to non-existent, yet 5G will work albeit poorly. I wish I could change the connection priority around to LTE at the top and NR (5G) below it, so when LTE isn't working it will fall back to 5G which MIGHT actually work.10Visto1like0Comentarios
