Make sure your cell phone provider connects to the same network bands as what the phone supports. This is important because every carrier may support 3g/4g/LTE but connect with different bands. You have to do some research on your end and when you do find the right carrier, the phone will not have these issues unless it is defective device itself.

I guess I'll be sticking with /e/ os...

I found a quick troubleshoot. Is your userdata ext4? If not you need to format it. fastboot format:ext4 userdata https://github.com/droidian-images/droidian Someone in the past had an issue with partitions as well and confirmed reflashing them in fastboot had fixed it. You will lose your data.

Have you tried to extend partition?

If you can get at least data to work, i strongly recommend using VoIP with this device. In Canada, we still have 3g available and that appears to work flawless on this device. But anything other is a write off for cellular capabilities but data will work.

I use /e/ os for about a year as daily driver and haven't had an issue. The only thing is my device only works on one particular network type to send/receive phone calls (wcdma).

Lol to the above post. There is a fix. In the sim settings, change your mobile network to another. Wcdma only appears to work great on my device. Otherwise you can consider using VoIP and can keep the default LTE setting.

Gport from BSG works pretty good. I haven't found any other ones that work as good but I will definitely try the one you recommended. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

There is already a thread posted previously in the past about this. You can locate it below:

How is Sailfish os on this phone? Does everything work OK? Camera/video recording work? Can you run waydroid on it?

Hey a new distro is out for this phone. Looks like a fork of lineage with desktop convergence and Linux os options coming forked from Droidian. https://lmo.framer.website/

There's an app called Droidvnc found on fdroid that allows you to create a server from your device. droidVNC-NG https://f-droid.org/packages/net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng I have not tried it yet but it looks promising.

How usable is this os?

Hi how is this os today?

Is there a way to pick specific radio network bands? Wcdma work perfectly and I realised NR works good as well. LTE does not work and the only option available is NR/LTE/wdcma
