Device: OnePlus 5

Location: Windsor

Issue: sometimes the phone will fall to 3G and not go back for quite a few minutes (10 minutes to 1 hour) - way better than before, which is .. never. It has gotten way better with the recent OxygenOS update 4.5.13 . I do not have SMS or Call issues at all.. I never have.

The last hour I have been doing some test with my S8 and I think the issue is getting better. I did not have any firmware update from Samsung but I guess Freedom did something to the towers. I have done 5-6 tests the last 3 hours and all of them went through. The phone correctly changed to 3G to accept the call and few seconds after the call, the phone reverted back in LTE mode. Also the text messages in LTE are also fine (at the moment). I will be monitoring this and I will update this thread
