[Google Pixel 7] terry274:
This Pixel 7 is the first 5G capable phone I have owned. The 5G is so slow as to be unusable. I am in middle Tennessee and RedPocket is my provider, using the AT&T network. I have disabled 5G and my speed/connection is very good.

When 5G is enabled I do have a strong signal according to the signal meter icon. But pages load in "spurts". The browser will take several seconds to make the initial connection and then as the page loads it will pause while more data is downloaded. Using 4G pages load very quickly.

Is this because I'm using a MVNO (RedPocket) or is something else going on?
[Google Pixel 7] rczrider:
It could be either or both. MVNOs are de-prioritized which, depending on the network traffic where you are, could mean terrible speeds or speeds just as good as the provider's tier one post-pay accounts.

I, too, am new to 5G and using Boost (an AT&T MVNO) until the trial period runs out and I move to Mint (TMO). My 5G performance is fine; it's not faster or slower than the exact same 4G service from my Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 7] terry274:
I'm going to give Tello Mobile a try. They use the Tmobile network. I will report back.
[Google Pixel 7] terry274:
I got activated with Tello using an esim. I've only used them a few minutes but everything looks good so far.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
The issue with AT&T is that they don't use all of their brands for 5G so LTE can be much faster than 5G. T-Mobile has crazy good 5G speeds if you live where they have midband. I have Tello as well as SafeLink on AT&T and I have found that AT&T has better latency, T-Mobile has much better speeds, and AT&T tends to have the stronger signal in the Denver area as well.

I use my SafeLink pSIM for data and the Tello eSIM for everything else usually.

This was on my drive home over the weekend, going through Joplin, MO. Not too bad in a larger city. My P6 didn't hit 100 down just 2 weeks ago at the same spot.

No problems here, with Cosmote carrier in Greece.

I would raise the issue of low speeds with my carrier
[Google Pixel 7] terry274:
Apparently there was an update needed, my speed on the AT&T network is now as expected. I did not change anything (that I know of). I'm going to stick with RedPocket rather than Tello due to better coverage in my area with AT&T.
[Google Pixel 7] Elijah256:
This is a very low speed for a 5G network!
[Google Pixel 7] phoinix_gr:
Indeed. But 1Gbit in the air, is fine for me.
[Google Pixel 7] wendellc:
Just got the pixel 7 and my 5G is all over the place. I get 1 bar 5G UC, indicating poor signal but will go to full bars from time to time. Whats weird is that if i make a call or receive a call it will jump to full bars. If i switch from wifi to mobile or restart the phone it will give me full bars and drop to 1 bar soon after.

I've called tmobile and they had me upgrade to a new 5G sim but it didnt fix anything. My previous phone was OnePlus 8t 5G and had no issues with 5G. All other 5g phones at home get full bars, the tmobile tower is about 50 yards from my home.

Thinking about returning the phone and keeping the One Plus until Pixel 8 or until Pixel 7 issues are sorted out. I might try to get another Pixel 7 sent to me try out. This P7 has a August build date, maybe a more recent build will not have this issue.
[Google Pixel 7] terry274:
After my Tello experiment my AT&T started working reliably. I would say give it a day and see if it gets sorted out.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
Is your service usable? Are your speeds acceptable? Bars mean nothing. We really should get rid of them in favor of something that just shows whether you have a network connection or not because these days with multiple carrier aggregation, bars are never correct.
[Google Pixel 7] rmergist:
Boost was Sprint, which has been swallowed up by T-Mobile and that CDMA network shut down. At this point Boost is T-Mobile, not ATT. If the phone you purchased was factory unlocked then you have been using 5G since day one, unless it defaults to 4G. If the phone is ATT phone then you would be better served by Cricket which uses the ATT network. Since you have a Google device why not go with Google Fi their plans are nominally priced. Although when they first started offering service they were trying to be something for everyone by using all gsm services. Most coverage is by T-MOBILE today.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
Boost offers AT&T as well...

If you order from www.boostmobile.com it is T-Mobile. If you order from my.boostmobile.com or deals.boostmobile.com, it is AT&T. You can also tell by your SIM card - if it's orange or white, it's T-Mobile. If it's black, it's AT&T.

Boost's AT&T SIM even has one of the best deals around right now - 30GB for $25 a month with no need to buy multiple months and unlimited at 512kbps after that (which is actually usable). They even have an app that lets you watch ads and spin the prize wheel each day towards free service plus third party offers like installing and playing games. I've already racked up $38 worth of bill credits since I signed up on the 27th.
[Google Pixel 7] wendellc:
service us usable but I've had a few drop signals.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
It's weird that so many have reported this while so many of us have reported we don't have that problem. I have tried the phone on three different networks and have been pleased with the modem. I have the Pro though, maybe there's something different with the reception although I've seen complaints about it too.
[Google Pixel 7] radekmazur:
I'm pulling almost 1200 mbps on TMobile by my house on p7.
[Google Pixel 7] SE7EN-:
I turned off 5G altogether and just use LTE because I was having intermittent data connection issues. I haven't had any connection issues since turning 5G off. Sucks but it is what it is, I guess. I'm on T-Mobile in a high 5G area as well.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
AT&T may throttle your provider speed during peak time...test the area at different time of the day and see...why own this phone and use 4G or LTE...it almost a sin
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
AT&T only has 5MHz n5 in a lot of areas so leaving 5G on just adds extra battery drain for very little gain. Where I live, I've seen AT&T LTE over 400Mbps, that 5MHz of n5 doesn't do much.

Now when AT&T gets C-band, which won't happen here until 2024, it will be worth using 5G, but not likely before then.
[Google Pixel 7] neelchauhan:
I don't have AT&T, only T-Mobile (primary) and a Verizon MVNO (fallback), but AT&T is generally the weakest of the Big 3 in terms of 5G. Like @EtherealRemnant said, AT&T has very little 5G spectrum versus a lot of LTE spectrum.

T-Mobile has the fastest 5G mainly since T-Mobile got the good mid-band spectrum when buying Sprint, while AT&T and Verizon had to get it in a FCC auction more recently to get something equivalent.

On a Pixel 6 and 7, T-Mobile 5G UC is great in Seattle. Unlocked OnePlus 8/9 5G phones support T-Mobile's 5G bands and while in theory should be "faster" due to Qualcomm having better chips versus Google/Samsung (Tensor ~= Exynos), aren't really faster in reality.

Probably unlocked OP phones while work with VoLTE/5G aren't whitelisted for carrier features like carrier aggregation (this is also the case with the Pixel 5).

Samsung isn't an option due to locked bootloaders, unless I want to use a S5 forever.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
Huh? I have never heard of whitelisting for carrier aggregation as it's a direct function of the modem and it makes no sense to maintain a whitelist as it helps load balance the network as a whole. Do you have proof of this?
[Google Pixel 7] neelchauhan:
I know AT&T does this: https://www.lightreading.com/the-co...-of-t-mobile-atandt-and-verizon/a/d-id/780466

I don't know about T-Mobile, maybe the unlocked OnePlus phones I had (and Pixel 5 that I never owned) didn't have the correct profiles. I don't know for sure, sorry.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
I'm not seeing anything about AT&T limiting modem features by whitelist in that article. They whitelist for things like 5G and VoLTE but I don't think there is a mechanism that enables them to decide to not use carrier aggregation. I will say that my OnePlus 9 doesn't have a 5G E icon (AT&T's preferred way to designate LTE-A) but that's a function of them not being a carrier partner for AT&T. I've gotten speeds in excess of 100Mbps on my OnePlus 9 which can't happen without carrier aggregation, even with a 20MHz carrier and 4x4 MIMO.

I do know that the OnePlus 9 isn't whitelisted for 5G but it works fine for everything else and is quite comparable to my Pixel 7 Pro. I was using an AT&T SIM card in my OnePlus 9 and the LTE performance is very similar between the two, I've been very pleased with my 7 Pro overall.

The modem in the Pixel 7 Pro is largely an unknown as Samsung launched it with the Pixel 7 series and hasn't released anything specific about its capabilities. It's very well possible that they have caught up to the X60 in the OnePlus 9 seeing how the modem was almost 3 years old (released February, 2020) and that's not even including the development time before that.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
4G LTE is more about congestion rather than speed...you can have fast speed and still lag...I could not go back to 4G LTE in the Baltimore area...lag all the time on the highway, now with 5G I never lag...
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
5G's spectral efficiency isn't much better than LTE's so the same spectrum will perform similarly between the two. Your experience with LTE was the product of a garbage network. I have directly compared 5G and LTE on AT&T's network here and there's little point to using 5G as the speeds and latency of both networks are comparable but with much worse power consumption than LTE.

AT&T just has ample capacity and a well-built network in a lot of the country. Their FirstNet contractor forced them to shore up weaknesses in their network.

5G, when it comes to AT&T, won't matter until they can use their C-band holdings in the market. I live in Denver, we won't see it until 2024. That's why I said
[Google Pixel 7] neelchauhan:
For the two hours I tried a OnePlus 10 Pro, I only got LTE in my backyard on T-Mobile, when OnePlus 8/9 and Pixel 6/7 all had 5G.

Although I may go back to OP if LOS comes back to new models, OP hardware is so much better than Pixel if it weren't for no ROMs on the OP10. Maybe next time I should buy a Xiaomi model even without a US warranty, who knows?
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
Xiaomi can't really be used on any of the three carriers. Their phones are missing Band 71, a key band for T-Mobile, in addition to lacking proper carrier aggregation combos for proper T-Mobile 5G and 4G performance plus they aren't whitelisted for Verizon or AT&T (although you can SIM swap an active SIM on Verizon, missing bands are another poor experience).

It really comes down to OnePlus and Pixel if you want a phone you can tinker with (although currently only the Pixel or a OP9 or earlier if you want a custom ROM) and as you have mentioned, OnePlus's current direction isn't all that friendly anymore.

10 Pro definitely should have gotten 5G. T-Mobile doesn't whitelist which devices can and can't access 5G, it comes down to the device's capabilities, and T-Mobile is OnePlus' only US carrier partner since the 8 series so the unlocked model should have worked as well as the T-Mobile one.

For my part, I got fed up with OnePlus's software, buggy bootloader, and anti-consumer stances so I won't go back. Pixel has been great for me other than the battery and charging and neither are a dealbreaker.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
but you are not using really using AT&T, your using a middle man, therefore your speed is cap. I been with Tmobile for over 15 years, never had any trouble other than what I stated for data usage but that problem is resolve with the upgrade to 5G

LTE congestion is a thing, its not a network or service provider fault, what you probably experiencing is people migrate from LTE to 5G therefore leaving LTE less congested then when it first came out.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
You really shouldn't speak of things you clearly know nothing about.

MVNOs pay the carriers wholesale rates for access to their network. The service can be deprioritized (as my AT&T plan is) or can be at the same priority as one of the carrier's own customers (at an additional cost).

My AT&T plan isn't congested on LTE *OR* 5G so again, you don't know what you're talking about, as being deprioritized (I intentionally chose a deprioritized plan as it was cheaper and I had full knowledge of the capabilites of AT&T's network here) would mean if the network was congested, I would have poor performance.

Your issue with T-Mobile was one of congestion. Plain and simple. I'm sorry that you don't understand how networks work or that you have drank the Kool-Aid of T-Mobile's advertising but if an LTE network lacks congestion in a given area, there is no need for 5G. It is absolutely possible to build a network, like AT&T has here, that has sufficient capacity without 5G.

Also, please note, I never said 5G has no benefits, I said that on AT&T specifically, there is no point to having 5G without C-band availability. T-Mobile and AT&T are not comparable here as T-Mobile had few restrictions put on their midband while AT&T and Verizon have had to contend with everything from the DoD still using the airwaves to satellite interference (which is why Hawaii will never have C-band) to the airlines throwing a fit because they're too cheap to update their altimeters and want the carriers to foot the bill. Until AT&T gets C-band, the 5G icon in most areas is nothing more than 5MHz of band n5 spectrum, not something that's going to make or break LTE that already works fine.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
clearly you dont comprehend what you read...so this conversation is useless...there is no such thing as Tmobile LTE or AT&T LTE. What I am talking about is LTE technology itself. but ok...good luck with your LTE
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] FRQD75:
First thanks for the great work here, great thing!

I have an S5 Neo 903F for my daughter and successfully flashed

* TWRP 3.6.2

* Danys latest version (lineage-18.1-20220819-UNOFFICIAL-s5neolte.zip)

* latest GAPPS pico

Basically it works, but I have no NFC and neither GPS any more? The symbols are simply missing in the system icon drop down at the top?

..tested some more:

LOS 17.1: Same prob, neither GPS, nor NFC

GApps Mini: Same

Stock ROM (6.0.1): All fine, GPS and NFC working.

In TWRP I just did wipe -> factory reset after I re-installed the stock ROM and booted it.

I spent now ~16h in flashing different combinations and the stock ROM in between, had a big learning curve, regarding this.

So far I am quite sure, that I cannot be the only one with this prob?

-------

So do you all really have working GPS with the latest software here?

If yes, what could be my fault?

Best regards

QD

I'm using the TF3D Audio tab to play music. Works pretty well, but a load of my albums have track ordering screwed: track 1 and track 5/6/7 are reversed. Tried deleting the library and resetting, retagging my songs - no help. Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas how to fix song order?
[Touch HD General] rickgillyon:
No-one else has this problem? :confused:
[Touch HD General] jimmy-fix-it:
Hi Rick,

I also have this problem. It's always track 1 that is swapped with track 5, 6 or 7 as you describe.

I've checked all throught the tags on the WMA files for the albums i've installed and they are perfect. Looking at the other details there seems no reason why the tracks have swapped around in the order.

Anybody got any ideas, cus I'm at a loss to see why?

I don't really want to get into having to create a playlist for every album just so the tracks are in the right order!

Any help much appreciated

cheers, Jimmy

[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
Had this too with 2 of my albums, then it hit me: they were the only two albums with wma files, so I converted to mp3 and now it's all ok.
[Touch HD General] Ouzo:
I have this problem with tracks from iTunes (m4a). For me it's usually track one and seven that are swapped around, but sometimes things are even more muddled. I can't actually work out how the order is derived. It's not by file size, file name or date created. Really weird.

As mentioned above, if you load MP3 files then files are listed in track order. This has been driving me bonkers. I wonder if newer versions of the TouchFlo Audio manager still have this problem. Anyone able to confirm? (I'm making the assumption that it is the HTC audiomanager that is playing the music files behind the scenes, but I don't even know if this is the case. Must put Task Manager on my phone and see what's running!) .
[Touch HD General] ONLawson:
Me too...

Same issue here... any bright spark out there capable of working out a fix (prefer not to use MP3 due to file size issues...)

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 1gavinr:
Hi all,

I'm new to Google phones, I got my Pixel 7 Pro on release day after having a Huawei Mate 20 Pro for the last 4/5 Years. Is there anyway to have individual Apps locked that require you to give your fingerprint to open them without the use of a 3rd Party App from the Play Store?

I used to be able to do this on my Huawei in the settings and lock any apps individually but I can't seem to find that option on my Pixel 7 Pro. I've seen the "Pin Required" option on Whatsapp but even that doesn't work great as you can see everything when the app is opened behind the pin screen.

Thanks for reading.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
You'll find, as I have, that a lot of that creature comfort stuff are not in pure android. Unless I'm wrong, you'll need an app to do it for you.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Correct. As @xgerryx said, there are apps in the Play Store to make that feature available, although I don't use them so I don't keep up with what's best, or what works.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 1gavinr:
Thanks for the replies. I was hoping it could be done within the settings of the phone without the need for another 3rd party app being installed. Shame small things like this aren't available within stock Android on Google phones yet this was available years ago on other Android handsets.
