I have a pixel 6 on Google Fi. The cell coverage at my new home is not great. If I have my preferred network type set to 5G I have no Internet connectivity. If I manually change it to LTE I get connectivity (albeit slow).
Shouldn’t the phone try this on its own? If not, is there a legitimate app that will do this for me transparently and effectively?
I wonder if it’s the same issue I have with Mint Mobile? I’ve had to set preferred to LTE on my Pixel 6a with them.
Something is broken with Pixel phones with Mint. It’ll drop from 5G to no signal, and refuse to reconnect unless you cycle airplane mode. And when you do that, it oftens shows a full-bar cell signal that the phone refused to connect to for some mysterious reason.
Hmmm maybe. Google Fi and Mint both use T-Mobile towers.
