Like this can’t be just me, right? Phone constantly disconnecting, being at 80°C, and battery draining is fucking annoying. Also the option to disable 5G is gone, wtf, big tech?!?

    5g has very short range. like, half a km tops for mid-high speed. so when you move it makes sense than it would disconnect. it’s also built on top of the 4g stack, so switching should be completely seamless. when did you last reboot?

      5G […] built on top of 4G

      So that’s how the 9G technology works!

      I reboot almost every day. Doesnt matter.

      I’m probably in the edge of the 5G zone, so it very annoying.

      on top of the 4g stack

      Those are Non-Standalone towers, I think there is a Standalone 5G-only tower that my phone keeps connecting to occasionally.

        yeah the antennas for higher frequencies are different. the signal is the same but the antennas need to be a different size.

        most likely there’s one 4g tower and multiple 5g base stations around you. if you’re on the edge of a city that’s most likely it.
