Over the last month+, I've had to turn airplane mode on and off to get data working pretty consistently on my OnePlus 6. {Mod edit}
I was hoping to get another 1/2 year out of my phone since I'm having no other issues.
Does anyone have any experience with the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G?
Also, how is RP 5G working for those using it?

I've had no data issues with my A52 5G in the four months I've had it.
My carrier doesn't support 5G yet so I can't comment there.
For your phone, do you have access to another one you can try your SIM card in to see if it's a phone issue or a carrier/network issue?

I really enjoy using Galaxy S9 Plus G965F
but, every day I have about 2-3 SMS saying I have missed a call. Despite the fact I never turned of my phone and never went underground or other places where the network is unreachable.
My friends keep telling me that my phone is out of network, but I have all the bars or almost all bars all the time.
Can anyone help me to identify what can be the problem?
I am in Japan NTT Docomo, and my Galaxy s9 support many more Bands than my old Galaxy s6 phone - that never had this problem. Can this be something with modem? Can i reinstall modem without getting root or disabling knox?
Thank you
Bump
Make sure you're on the latest update. Here in Europe we've had call related issues but the latest update fixed that at least for my S9+
UPDATE: I live in Brooklyn New York and it seems I'm not the only one to have this issue. As a result I've returned my Pocophone and ordered the Mi Mix 2S. I only had this phone for a few days but my experience was so positive, especially with the battery life, that I've decided to stick with Xiaomi.
But IF YOU LIVE IN NEW YORK AND USE T-MOBILE DO NOT BUY THE POCOPHONE F1 AS IT WILL NOT ESTABLISH ANY TYPE OF CONNECTION
I'm not looking for 4G LTE like everyone wants right now... I just want to make a damn phone call or something with this thing.
I'll keep it short and sweet, I've had this thing now for a couple days and I love it. I need to make it my daily driver because my POS V20 is on it's last leg.
I pop in my T-Mobile sim card and it recognizes it as T-Mobile but I don't have a data connection. I go to their IMEI check and as expected it is not recognized, I spend nearly half an hour on the phone with customer service to manually have my IMEI number recognized, I've done this in the past and it was pretty painless. They help me do this as the lady tells me at the end "rest assured, your new phone should now work with your sim card".
Awesome! I think, pop it in, still nothing, go back to the IMEI check and absolutely nothing has changed. I'm going call again and see what's up but my question is
*Has ANYONE successfully gotten any type of connection with T-Mobile on the Pocophone F1?*
I too had a V20 and moved to the F1. I'm on TMo in Chicago. Getting HSPA+, about 10 Mbps down. Good enough for me. My connection is pretty damn good, albeit, not LTE.

How did you manage this? Did you just pop in your sim and everthing went fine? Or did you have to call T-Mobile? I just want some sort of connection.
Just popped in the sim.
There is another thread where I discussed what does and does not work for US T-Moible users. Right now, you can make/take calls but you can only get 3G data. If someone finds a simple method for unlocking the missing bands, we should be fine. If this is to be your primary phone, and you use data, pass for now.

I understand that but that's not what I'm looking for. My phone will not connect AT ALL. I would love a simple 3G connection because that's all I need I mostly would use this on WiFi. But I can't get it to connect to T-Mobile at all, even calling and asking to put the IMEI manually didn't work because their IMEI status check will not recognize my IMEI even after they put it in (or so they say)
My question is simple what can I do to remedy this problem? Because I see other able to connect to T-Mobile with ease, it's the completely opposite story for me.

If you had read the other thread you would see there are others with the same problem as you. There are no known fixes as no one knows why some cannot connect at all.
I'm an the F1 on AT&T and i get 4G periodically in certain areas.
Phonecalls and SMS work just fine.
I don't have the poco but on a different xiaomi phone, I tested a tmo sim with it and it was getting fast speeds but would sometimes not receive calls. The dialer also took forever to ring about 20 seconds for outgoing calls. It's a redmi note 4 global version and the bands are similar to poco.
Phone works great on att/cricket though which is what I'm on now. Probably going to be using the poco with this as well if it isn't good with tmo around my area again. Nobody would definitely want to miss calls without realizing it. Has this been a problem for anyone else?

I'm on the same boat. I'm planning on buying a pocophone since I've been using the Xiaomi Mi A1 for 6 months on T-Mobile. It's a great speedy budget phone but I would miss calls and texts a lot of times. That''s a deal breaker to me since I can't miss calls for my job. That's the only reason I'm holding back on getting the Pocophone.

I'm also located in Chicago on T-mobile as well. I was wondering if you ever miss calls or text using the Pocophone? Planning on buying one since I've been using a Xiaomi Mi A1 and it works great but I would miss calls and texts a lot for some reason.
Has everyone tried changing their preferred network settings to 3g only?
I get HSPA+ in Phoenix and get between 300mbps and 1.4gbps

I am getting only EDGE connectivity with F1 in DFW area. I have flashed Unofficial LineageOS based on Android pie on this phone. I have tried all kinds of things to get this phone to connect atleast on 3G, but unable to do so far. Any ideas?

Change your preferred network type
As we get our new devices, we will have many conversations and opinions about 5G vs LTE, battery life on both protocols, previous speeds, etc.
It's my hope to gather data about these topics.
I propose we keep the following data sets available:
Location: ( Ex: Vcitoria,Tx 77901)
4GLTE Speeds on Current device: ( Ex: One Plus 7T 30 Mbps down / 5 Mbps down) Screenshots ?)
5G Speeds on OP7TP5GME:... Ridiculous acronym....( Ex: One Plus 7T 300 Mbps down / 50 Mbps down) We wish! ( Screenshots ?)
App or website used: ( Speedtest by Ookla.apk or Fast.com)
Battery Life stats after Full Charge on 5G and normal use: ( Not necessary, but would add insight to data set)(Screenshots ?)
I will follow this protocol on 12/11 or 12/12 once device is received
I will unlock my bootloader, if possible I will root and convert to international and also re-eport my findings after conversion.
Can you still use 5g after converting to international?
Mine is coming Tuesday. No 5G in McAllen yet but can report 4G speeds.
Interested if 5G still works after converting to international.

100% DO NOT quote me on this, I'm just assuming. It should still work since 5G is a hardware thing and not a software thing. BUT I could see it not working after messing around with the software to convert to international. This is a really good question, because I have had a 6T and now a 7 Pro with T-Mobile and have converted both over to international. I just messaged T-Mobile to see about getting the 7T Pro McLaren, but if I can't convert it to international and still have 5G then it's a no go for that phone.
I bought the T-Mobile McLaren 5G today. I'm really impressed with it so far. I will post some speed tests from Boise Idaho tomorrow when I'm in a better coverage area.

You might want to edit that do it isn't showing your number unless you liked getting spammed by spammers/scammers that saw your number on here. You might want to do the same with the IMEI since that is tied to your account.
There is also a Day 1 patch that upgrades security patch to November 1.
I'd actually really like to know if 5G works after conversion if possible as well. I hate the TMO splash screens and would like the faster updates.
As long as it's reversible, I'll try it when I get mine.
Has anyone managed to get the 5G bootloader unlocked? I got TMO to sim unlock the phone, which allows it to be unlocked, but i cant find info on the normal BIN unlock for this phone.

Nope. You have to get the bootloader unlock token from OnePlus before you can do anything. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. LOL. I learned my lesson to never buy carrier phones. Miss the good ol days. Ok, venting done. So yeah, you have to submit for a token after getting your SIM unlocked here...https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token. Oh, and it will take at least 7 days! LMAO.
EDIT: To add, once the token is received and the bootloader is unlocked, it should be very simple to root via magisk method. Any guide for the 7t pro model should suffice.
Couple screen shots. I was testing my phone against my wife's S10 plus and hers was faster than mine. Mine said 5G but I don't think that's here yet.
The two screen shots are both my phone, one with 5G on and one off. With it off mine is decently faster than the S10.
This is the same results i have gotten, nearly receive as fast on many test

You know it odd cause I'm getting the exact opposite results as you my 5G speeds are anywhere between 80 and 180 megabits per second. But when I'm on 4G I'm tapping out at like 30 to 40 on speed tests. another weird thing that I've noticed and I'm not sure if it's the apps or the phone or what but when I try to use apps like Spotify YouTube or any app that loads something from the web and I'm on 5G the apps load considerably slower then they used to with 4G
My speeds on 5G actually went down (and quite a bit). I've switched to LTE only.
5g Tacoma,WA
Faster 5g speeds
I had a thought, the current 5G uses band 4 just for connecting and 71 for service. So, since I don't actually have 5G the phone thinks it has a 5G connection so isn't concerned with a fast connection on band 4 since it think the real connection is on 71. I turn off the non existent 5G and the phone negotiates a full connection on 4.
Or I could be completely wrong.

I actually applied for the Bin Token on the 11th, so I should have it in a couple days.

My "7 days" are tomorrow. So hopefully, tomorrow night. I'll report back if it comes.

How's your experience with the phone so far? I feel like the battery life isn't as great as expected, sometimes it drains very fast. Also, the fingerprint sensor seems a bit buggy to me.
Has anyone used this with the s20 phones as of yet? I have read the watch will not operate as a standalone from the phone and that it needs to be within range of the phone? Can't see how that would be true but would like to hear if anyone is currently using and their experience(s). Cheers!
I've been using my Active 2 (LTE version) without any problem since I received my S20 last week. I've only tried it without my phone a few times during that time, but so far so good!
Hi there,
In UK with o2, i have spoken to o2 Business and now got a 5G sim, they have enabled 5G service. However, i still dont get 5G, when i went over to France, i got 5G no problem.
Anyone know why this may not be working, any settings i can try, i have checked Preferred networks and im on 5G/4G/3G/2G.
Ive noticed as soon as I restart the phone, OR finish on a phone call it says very briefly im on 5G then changes to 4G.
Very annoying, i know i should be getting 5G as someone else in the house is getting it, but different phone.
Cheers
