Question C47/C48 Tmobile volte issues - OnePlus 9 Pro

Ever since updating to c47 my op9 pro (non tmobile version) has been consistently dropping. Toggling volte on/off seems to restore connectivity but sometimes only lasts for a few min then drops again (drops from 5g to GPRS or edge sometimes but isnt working right..).
I've already reset network settings.
Support obviously wants me to wipe the phone but before doing so I wanted to see if others were having similar issues with these 2 latest builds. C44 was working just fine.

Connection issues with 4G/LTE

Hey!
I've had my Oneplus 3 for a couple of weeks now, and I am having major connection issues while using mobile data. Most of the time I am unable to get any connection so I can't even make a phone call. I have read about similar issues and how they have been resolved, but none of the tricks have done it for me. If I enable airplane mode and then disable it, I get a weak connection for a while (maybe 10 minutes). I have two IMEI-codes on my phone, like I should. WiFi connection works well. I am on OOS 3.2.4 at the moment.
Here's a list of all the things that I have tried:
Another SIM-card
Another service provider
Manual APN settings
Different OS versions
Turning radio off and on from the "secret menu" (*#*#4636#*#*). This has the same effect as the airplane mode, which means that I get a weak connection for a moment.
Every bit of help is greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem with 6 ROM (all based on CM). After a day or so i lost connection.
Now i'm on Official CM13 and its all working for 4 days (fingers crossed).
The only thing that i've done different is that i didn't use Titanium Backup and also CMThemer.
I don't know how helpful this is, but that's my experience with the matter.
Cheers !
I am having same issue from the day 1 of my usage. Upgraded OxygenOS, tried different SIMs, changed APN, toggled preferred connection LTE to 3G etc and even on Official Cm13, the issue persists. Even when I am outdoors, the connection is poor and unstable. The same SIM works very well on Oneplus 1 without any issues. I am really fed up and regretting my choice to buy Oneplus 3. Is there any way to solve this issue? I stay in Dubai and there are no Oneplus service centers here and neither I can return the device, as the return period has expired.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 not reconnecting automatically from EDGE (E) to 3G or 4G after a call

I started this thread as a bug report in the Xiaomi forum, but no solution has been forthcoming.
http://en.miui.com/thread-2390770-1-1.html
I have also sent official complaints emails to Xiaomi at
[email protected]
Device: Mi MIX 2; MIUI Version V9.5.6.0.ODEMIFA; Reproduce rate: 100%; ROM version: Global Stable ROM; Country/Region: Nigeria
Description: Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 not reconnecting automatically from E to 3G or 4G after a call. It stays permanently on EDGE (E) unlike other Android phones that reconnect automatically to 3G or 4G after termination of phone calls.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Put Mi Mix 2 on 4g
2. Initiate or receive a call
3. Notice networks drops to E when receiving call.
4. End call.
5. Notice network remains on E after the call, and does not automatically reconnect to 3G or 4G as other Android phones do.
My post might be long, but it is due to the fact that I am feeling disappointed that I have not seen a solution in the MIUI and other forums.
1. My Mi Mix 2 does not reconnect automatically back to 3G or 4G after a call (when I initiate or receive the call). It stays permanently on EDGE (E) even with full 3G and 4G signals.
2. Before and after this update, I still have the issues of the Mi Mix 2 switching to EDGE (E) during a call and not automatically switching to the available 3G or 4G networks after the call; it stays on EDGE (E), which means that I have to manually restart the phone or go to the phone info (using the Internal memory steps to take change it to LTE or UMTS or WCDMA).
3. After manually changing to LTE, UMTS, or WCDMA, it still changes back to EDGE (E) during and after a call, and I have to go through the annoying steps once again.
4. From the forum posts, including the MIUI forums, I now know that this problem has been with the Xiaomi phone models right from the onset. I want to point out here that I never experience such issues with all the other Android phones that I have been using – none. They all reconnect automatically to 3G or 4G immediately the calls are terminated; I don't have to reboot the other Android phones to achieve this. That this issue has been with Xiaomi for a long time is beyond my comprehension. Why have the Xiaomi Engineers not fixed it?
5. The upgrade to the new MIUI Official V9.5.6.0.ODEMIFA (MIUI9) Stable version did not resolve this issue of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 not reconnecting automatically from EDGE (E) to 3G or 4G after a call.
I would like to find out if Xiaomi has come out with a permanent solution to this problem, and where I can find it? This does not happen with other Android phones/manufacturers. What is the permanent fix?
I have the same issue with my Mix 2. I have to go through all kinds of configuration settings such as testing>phone info (*#*#4636#*#*), APN, pulling SIM, inserting different SIMs, turning off VoLTE, etc, after voice call just to get LTE back. Newest MIUI 9.6.1.0 still hasn't fixed problem. Will never buy another Xiaomi phone until fix is released.
It's just disheartening to note that the latest ROM update has not resolved this issue. I am in constant communication with the Xiaomi Global Support team via emails, and will continue to be until they fix the issues.
Try LTE/CDMA/UMTS AUTO PRL
Works perfectly for me.

Thanks!
I started going through the list but didn't get to that one yet.
Switched the setting, made a couple of calls then rebooted, LTE & VoLTE both reconnected.
Will continue to monitor.
I had a problem with the signal too and i switched to this setting and it works like a charm.
The settings you had were for China so thats why it didnt work well.
PS. you have to manualy change the settings on every reboot. Remember!

Slow 4G Speeds, connectivity issues. Modem, Baseband

Basically the Redmi note 5 Pro and Ai are really slow for internet speeds, unstable I compared it to Samsung S7. This post talks about the same problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/low-signal-poor-4g-speeds-t3777925
It was so slow i was going to sell this.
When using a custom roms, the LTE connection would turn off even tho it was turned on, you click it and it says turn off LTE connection even tho it's already stopped working, no LTE icon present. Then after turning it off and turning it back on it works again, till it randomly disconnects itself again. Restarting the phone while LTE was working would normally mean it had the same problem when phone started up, LTE icon missing internet not working you click on it and it says turn it off, it's on but not working.
MIUI didn't seem to disconnect those issues above still hopelessly slow speeds however.
I found someone else who suggested flashing a modem to fix it, however this didn't work for me as there's a massive list modems i tried and didn't fix it below. Had to use aeroplane mode after each modem flash and turn it off and wait a bit before turning on LTE to get a connection.
What did fix it was this post i came across from another person.
As far as I see it's issue with MIUI9. What is my conclusion so far is, with MIUI9, there is an issue with network switching like from 4g to 2g or 3g and the phone gets briefly disconnected from network . This is more often when you use data than voice.
I use two sim cards so I've currently got my data sim set to LTE only and my calling sim is just on WCDMA as soon as i did that my download speeds match my S7 just as fast which wasn't even close to been possible before i did this. So i'm convinced that the persons post is correct and it keeps disconnecting from 4G to try and connect to 3G and results in an unstable connection. That and i ran speedtests against all those modems listed and couldn't get these speeds.
It might be possible to set my calling sim to WCDMA/LTE and data to only LTE not tested so far, so its working but if i lose LTE connection it would normally drop to WCDMA so with LTE only that could be problematic. Doesn't seem to disconnect anymore and maintains the LTE during phone restarting.
This is a list of all the modem, baseband files i tried.
These where from China rom.

I just got the Mi 8 Lite yesterday. The speeds showing for mobile data on the phone are really slow... and downloads from the Play Store take forever (a few seconds for each MB). Trying to download the Android 9.0 update was painfully slow. Eventually I resorted to putting the SIM back into my old device and using that as a hotspot to update my phone via "wi-fi".
I have now placed the SIM back into the Mi 8 Lite and the mobile speeds are still slow. I'm really confused, however, because when I use the Mi 8 Lite as a hotspot to share the data with my old device, the downloads on that phone are quick.
So it seems that the Mi 8 Lite is just struggling to make internal use of the data speed that it is actually receiving from my network... it still transfers the full speed to other devices via the hotspot.
Any suggestions?

Please post radio issues (and fixes) here

**EDIT**
Forgot the random outgoing call issue.
Since getting my OP8P, it doesn't seem like any of the radio issues have really been satisfactorily addressed. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done on our end to fix them, but I figured I'd create a thread to track them, and fix them if possible.
Please include your carrier, or any other differentiating factors:
MMS issues (T-Mobile): MMS messages do not come in reliably or at all with wifi enabled. SMS and RCS messages are not affected.
Fix: (Workaround) Disable VoWifi, which doesn't seem to work on as many APs as the OP7P and prior did. If that doesn't work, turn off wifi altogether to allow messages to send/receive.
--------------------------------------------------------
Wifi calling issues (T-Mobile): Wifi calling will not stay activated. Icon appears for about 30 seconds after turning on wifi. Also seems to be affecting MMS messages not sending/receiving when connected to WiFi, and potentially outgoing calls not going through reliably.
Fix: (Workaround) Possibly affected by APs that allow TKIP encryption method. Reports of only allowing AES/CMAK helping. TKIP has known vulnerabilities, but older devices may still require it be enabled.
--------------------------------------------------------
Wifi connection issues: Wifi seems to go dead 1-3 times a day. Wireless still shows a strong connection, but no data actually passes (SMS still works).
Fix: (Workaround) toggle wifi
--------------------------------------------------------
Poor 5G performance (T-Mobile): While this could be a T-Mobile issue, as they seem to have turned on 5G over most of our area using UHF bands (300mhz to 3ghz), performance is pretty choppy. Uploads seem to be more negatively affected, with speeds less than 1mbps at times. Download speeds can be up to LTE speeds, but often are not, and are almost always jumpy and not smooth during speed tests.
Potential fix: Disable 5G under: SIM & network settings > Preferred network type
--------------------------------------------------------
Occasion outbound call issue: Sometimes making an outgoing call takes 2 or 3 tries. I can't remember the error, off the top of my head, but it's something like "service not available".
--------------------------------------------------------
Can ONLY receive MMS on WiFi calling not on mobile data, SMS not affected. (details here)
Fix: use 3rd party SMS app, revoke all permissions from stock app, disable stock app

You can disable 5G in the SIM and Network settings ??*
With my old phone if I disable wifi it connects to Lte instantly and I can start surfing. With my 1+ now if I disable wifi it takes about 10sec until there's Lte but I can't start surfing. I have to switch from Lte to 2g and back to get it working. Same Sim in both phones

Good grief. I have no idea how I missed that. Thanks! I'll test and update the thread if LTE performance seems better than 5G. This very well could be a T-Mobile thing, since they just recently turned it on in my area.

I have noticed the exact same thing. I'm not sure why it takes so long... especially with dual-channel network acceleration enabled (and the fact that VoLTE is established before I shut wifi off).

My wife and I have similar problems with mobile data and wifi both occasionally showing strong signals but requiring a toggle off and back on before data passage resumes. Both OP8P and OP8. Verizon for carrier.
Well, I guess it's good to know it's happening on Verizon too?
Seriously, this needs to be fixed. If it was just one carrier, I could see it getting out the door. But more than one (very different kinds) of carriers is pretty ridiculous.
Issue: can ONLY receive MMS on WiFi calling not on mobile data, SMS not effected.
More details in my thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/receive-mms-wifi-calling-tmobile-t4088673
Fix: use 3rd party SMS app, revoke all permissions from stock app, disable stock app
Updated OP.
I've found that disabling Voice over Wifi altogether seems to help with the MMS while on wifi issues. I still get a few that don't go through and have to shut off wifi altogether, but it's much... much better.
I'm wondering if this is also connected to my outgoing call issues. I'll be testing that also.
**EDIT**
While I still think disabling VoWiFi helps, it is still very much a crapshoot whether or not an MMS message will send or receive. Between this and the dual sim issues, I may need to see if OP will let me return this.
No idea if it's related but in comparison to EE, three is absolutely crap. Truly a horrific network, 50% of the coverage and 59% of the speed.
Have noticed that the phone aggressively tries to hand over to WiFi even when I'm not connected.
Removing 5G from the equation helps a lot, least in my instance.

Curious, how are you seeing it's trying to hand over to wifi?
I'm so upset over this stuff. It would be more tolerable if OP had some sort of official status on some of these issues. Ignoring them won't make them go away.

Are you talking about the "Scanning always available" setting? I already have that disabled. I seem to be ok with 5G lately. Pretty sure the bad upload speeds are just due to T-Mobile working out the bugs.

Then you're fine. Don't worry about it.
I thought I'd chime in a bit with T-Mobile 5G. Minus specialized cities featuring higher frequency 5G, T-Mobile nationwide works off of the 600Mhz band, AND REQUIRES the 1900Mhz or 2100Mhz 4G LTE band to properly function at this time. So if you experience poor 4G 1900 and 2100 frequency in your area, but strong 5G, it won't work well for you, and you are better off doing 4G LTE 600mhz instead.
Call your local rep and confirm the strength for those two frequencies for you. Just thought I'd chime in about the poor 5G performance nationwide for T-Mobile for some. Nothing to do with the phone exactly.
My OnePlus 8Pro sometimes disconnects several times a day the radio conection. It's hapend with LTE on Telekom. 5G is not available yet. It's happend also in places where I have very good LTE network coverage.
Restart the cell phone is the only option to reconnect.
Switching OFF/ON the Airplane-Mode, reset network settings or a Full Wipe bring no improvement.
I have already replaced the SIM card against a new one by my network provider (Telekom) to rule out a defect.
I also have no problems with my previous device.
So I'm currently using my old device in parallel with a Multi-Sim.
A network fault therefore can be ruled out 100%.
The latest software version has also been installed.
The crash normally occurs while surfing the LTE network and is noticeable that the Internet is unexpectedly no longer working. The Radio display on the phone show me a few minutes more that i have still connection to LTE and than it jump to "no network" as already described, "ONLY" restarting the device allows to log in to the network again.
It was also tried with intelligent network connection or two-channel download acceleration on and off.
With WiFi the internet works continuously.
The Device runs with Stock-Rom.
I also have contacted the OnePlus Support, but maybe someone here has a solution for me.
Many Thanks

That is crazy. I think they may have fixed the wifi disconnects for me with the latest OTA, but when I did get them, toggling wifi worked for me. I never had to reboot over it. Your case definitely seems worse. Hopefully you don't have a hardware issue.

I have exactly the same issue with the same carrier (Telekom Germany) with 2 SIM cards tested. Gotten worse with the 10.5.9 so I rolled back to 10.5.8 where the issue isn't happening that often. I haven't got this issue when enabling data on my secondary SIM (O2 Germany). I have also tested the new Android 11 beta where I got shortly disconnected from the mobile network and then the LTE+ logo changed to "g" and everything was fine again. The phone was still connected to LTE with full DL speed (did the whole initialisation with mobile data + 20gb music download). However the beta is not usable at this stage. Since I have an unlimited data plan on that Telekom Sim I cloud test the **** out of it and it seems that the disconnect happens when the phone tries to change or adds the cell connection while using data. I have sent OP the required logs and after that they ignored me.. hope they going to fix this as it seems to be a software/compatibility issue with that certain carrier. Also 10.5.9 isn't really coming to German devices with ota so they might know about that issues.

Thanks for the feedback.
That the Problem with 10.5.9 got worse i can confirm. I loaded this Version in Germany by using the Oxygen Updater. But that gives hope to me that it is really just a software issue and no defekt on the device. So I will not send the device to OP for an unnecessary repair in the hope that there will be fixd with an update soon.
On the Facebook Oneplus page I have already heard from some people they have exactly the same problem, all of them use the German Telekom network.
Hopefully you get right, with that presumption, that 10.5.9 isn't really coming on German devices because they know the problem. So the fix will come very fast.

You guys haven't heard any buzz about 10.5.10 yet? I'm on 10.5.10 in the US, which I feel has been a lot more stable than the previous two versions (which had alternating issues for me).
The biggest issue affecting me remains the issues sending MMS while on wifi.

Question WiFi problems - Do others see them too?

Hello Folks,
In summary, the WiFi stack on OnePlus 11 is quite unstable compared to other smartphones (that are also based on Qualcomm SoC with built-in modems).
First off, I've two 802.11 AC (WiFi 5) routers. Compared to my Asus (ROG 5) and Motorola (Moto G 5G Plus) phones, I've noticed that my new OnePlus has better reception for both mobile and WiFi networks. E.g., at the same location where ASUS has say -30db signal, OnePlus 11 shows -27 or -28db. So performance wise, it's fantastic, however, stability of WiFi connectivity is subpar. Between performance and stability, obviously I always prefer stability. I've up-to-date OnePlus 11 CPH2449 device (CPH2449_11_A.08).
I've been using the phone for about 5 days & these are the three distinctive WiFi problems with OnePlus 11 that I've observed in that duration:
1. WiFi dieing silently:
I've seen many times that all of a sudden the WiFi symbol will disappear. Then checking the status of the connectivity will show that it had silently dropped/died. Sometimes, it'll reconnect on its own within 10 odd seconds. When it doesn't, then toggling WiFi off and then on may help. When even that doesn't help, then toggling airplane mode on and then off becomes necessary/only-way to re-establish the connection. During these episodes, the phone is barely 2 metres away from the routers with a clear/unobstructed line of sight with them. Needless to say, neither ASUS nor Moto exhibit this problem while these episodes are playing out with OnePlus 11.
2. VoWiFi dieing silently:
While operating the phone (non-phone-call situations), a number of times I've seen that the VoWiFi logo would drop and VoLTE logo would appear. Interestingly enough, within a matter of 10+ odd seconds, it'd re-establish the VoWiFi connectivity on its own.
3. WiFi not roaming efficiently:
When moving faraway from one router and close to another, it doesn't roam to the closest one, instead holding onto the furthest one. But putting the phone down for say a minute with the screen off, triggers the roaming to the closest router! WiFi assistant neither helps nor hinders this behaviour.
In short, it'd seem the whole WiFi stack is riddled with stability issues. I've done "Reset Network settings", which didn't help with those issues.
Am I the only one facing these issues?
Thanks for any help/guidance.

Anyone have wifi dropping off and reconnecting after flashing to oxygen os? I seem to keep experiencing this. Anyone have any fix?

No issues with Wifi.
Just downloaded over 130GB over Wifi and ftp server on the phone without a single interruption. Took over 3 hours and no problem.
I have similar issues. My wifi will randomly drop out and then pick up again in that time sometimes it will say internet offline. I've been noticing it the last week or so when that happens.
I've escalated my problems to OnePlus support. After a number of discussions, I think we got the winner: Disabling ipv6 in my WiFi network seems to stabilise it!
I've been trying this only for the past few hours, but it's proving positive so far. Still I'd prefer to test this over at least a day or two.
I've had WiFi just stop working finds no networks. Even turning the toggle off and back on again doesn't work. But after a reboot works fine again. Mines a euro model on fw09

I've seen similar behaviour. Turning flight mode on and then off helped me on those circumstances. Mine too EU version CPH2449.
Now, if the root cause is identified and addressed, then it ought not to even regularly disconnect from WiFi in the first place, so subsequent problems like reconnection issues can be avoided then.
Disabling ipv6 has proven to be a good workaround for vastly improving my phone's WiFi stability. Of course, they need to identify and resolve the problem that's making WiFi & ipv6 incompatible though.
