Hello.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I have very slow Internet speed when using 3G, but works great on 4G. The pages load very very slow. I'm having this problem since I bought the phone, but never bothered me till recently, when I moved in an area where I do not have 4G signal. I made a speed test with my phone next to a S7 edge, I got around 3.5 Mbps download/0.02 Mbps upload, the other phone got 10 Mbps/download with 5 Mbps upload. I tried switching the sim cards and also got the same speeds with my friend's sim card.

What ROM are you using ? Some of the non OOS ROMs have different settings for data.
Also different phones are going to yield different results, my HTC 10 was a lot better than the one plus 5 by some way.
Let us know your set up, see if something stands out.

OOS 4.5.10 with default kernel.
I also changed my Sim card today, but same result. Facebook photos load very slow, YouTube videos keep buffering.
I tried to eliminate all the variables, testing multiple friends' sim cards of the same provider, but I always have the same slow speed. Before OP5 I had a Meizu Pro 5, never had this kind of problem. I can't think of any other motive except the phone is faulty.

Ah ok, that's odd.
Might be worth checking your access point, make sure it's spot on, there are usually alternative APN's for networks, sometimes the phone will choose one which is not great.
I'm currently not on OOS i'm using an AOSP Rom so haven't got the exact settings you have, but i'd say make sure that network is set to automatic, check the APN (you can google their preferred one) make sure LTE is on and that it's not the only thing that's selected.
Set it to that and give it a reboot.
OOS 4.5.10 with default kernel, is that rooted? Custom rom or stock?

Forgot to mention that 3G is only up to 20mb so it'll never be amazing and of recent times it's got a lot worse, if 4G drops then it's usually quite crap, definitely what it used to be like, my old phones on orange uk were 3G and they always had great speeds, 3G / H from then seemed to be a lot quicker.
Already tried the apn thing. Different apns, network to automatic and things like that. Same speeds.
I know that 3g speeds are not as high as 4g ones, but I repeat, I never had this problem with the old phone.
I have a similar problem: On some places in my small village, the mobile data gets disconnected. I did not have that problem with my old Galaxy S5.
It is quite annoying, I think about switching to a Galaxy S8+, if I cannot solve that problem.
I had LineageOs on S5, now I have OxygenOs. Is it maybe possible, that the problems get solved, when I switch to LineageOs on my Oneplus 5?
I can confirm that there definitely is some sort of problem when it comes to using 3G on this device.
I also experience slow 3G and the internet even cuts out for a few seconds sometimes.
4G works fine on this device and 3G also works fine on my old S4 with the same SIM card. So it's definitely the OnePlus that has an issue.
Let's see if the new 4.5.11 OTA is gonna fix it.
4.5.11 did not fix the problem for me.
Today I installed LineageOS and fortunately, this fixed my problem.
So it seems to be a problem of OxygenOS, not a hardware problem.
I think I will stay in LineageOs for a while until this problem will be fixed. Those many internet disconnects were extremely annoying.

Actually having the same problem, both custom ROMs and stock with locked bootloader. The only custom rom I've had luck with (and it's probably just placebo) is purefusion rom. Rock solid rom in general but 3g seems to be working for me. FYI I'm on 3 in the UK, getting about 12 down on H+ (forced, I get 4G here) and 3/4 signal bars.
Edit: and like 70-90 on LTE ?

I don't think you read the part where I said I was using a custom rom lol. The rom I'm using is an AOSP based rom, not LineageOS based but same effect, it works, where stock would not
Edit: new lineageos builds seem to work, just flashed one on multirom , older ones previously did not.
Yesterday I tried to use 2 sim card in my op5, guess what H+ runs smoothly without any problem. It's been running for 24 hours without any problems, maybe you can try on your op5?
Seems stupid to be forced to use a custom rom just because I get around 3 Mbps download with 0.02 Mbps upload. I should get around 14 with 7 Mbps

There is also another weird bug with the stock OOS. I use Tidal (for lossless music quality) and OOS can't stream it for ****. All the custom roms i have play streaming lossless tracks straight away, but on OOS (maybe because of signal issues?) it can take anything from 10 seconds, to 3-4 minutes to start playing a track.. and i have unlimited data so i don't see why i should download my tracks when i have unlimited data that never gets capped (up to 2TB)
So, yes, its silly to install a custom rom just for that, but until OOS fixes their issues, its what i've done. The PureFusion rom i'm using is a super fast and stable rom, with OOS camera (not sure about quality, but i dont care) - entire OOS camera works, RAW photos, portrait mode etc and my signal issues are gone on this!
There's already a topic about this. Looks like more people have this issue. (Including me).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-issue-h-network-t3658071
I live in Portugal, and i and my girlfriend have this annoying problem on OP5 Midnight Black and Soft Gold. This is very stupid and make me very very unhappy :crying:
I already change operator and still have same issue. Before, i think that is operator problem, so i change from (NOS) to (MEO) and still the same. Very slow internet on H or H+ and keep freezing with signal max. I will cross fingers and wait for the Oreo Update... If the OnePlus can't fix this problem, i will sell the phone, and will be the last phone i buy to OnePlus. I'm very very mad with this situation!!
Anyone sent the phone to repair for this problem? I tried installing xxx ROM today, but the issue persists.

Send to RMA is not the solution. Because this issue affects all of OP5 arround of the world.

Recently i have been getting download speeds of about 13-70kb/s. My upload is fine averaging 800kb/s. This all is really odd since i live in a city and usually get around 1500kb down. I have the 60668 prl and the most recent radio. Im running baked snacks with his 2nd fps fix kernel. I dont see where the problem could be. Please help me out thanks
my old Touch Pro brick would average 120KB/s on 3G (STABLE), and now my Evo is barely doing 5KB/s to 10KB/s (VERY UNSTABLE). those 5 to 10 were what I was getting with 1x with Touch Pro. conslusion = Evo has no EVDO? lol, i know it does but the numbers do make you think. i mean, 5KB/s is friggin 1990's DIAL-UP!
There is something jacked with the Evo radios...
I had Sprint reactivate my Touch Pro 2 and using the exact same Home Agent I got 1600kbps last night on the exact same tower that my Evo got 700 off of.
I have never seen my Evo pass 1Mbps... it hits 950 tops. My Touch Pro 2 will pull up to 2.4 - I've seen it myself.
Oh and the upload on the TP2 was 380 compared to 190 on my Evo.
Something is definitely up...
At first I used to get good speeds... and now ive tried 2 dif radios and like you said, its ****ing dialup!! i tried to look in my dialer codes to change some stuff around but they wouldnt even work. this suuucks. I'm in the middle of the sf bay area which needs to get 4g soon and 3g should be fixed... I don't understand haha
when doing wired tethering on Touch Pro, i used the HTC USB Modem driver and simply set up a dialup connection in windows through that modem to #777. one trick i found that maximized the speeds was setting maximum bps to 921600bps (900Kbps) in modem configuration. this way i was pulling very stable 110KB/s downloads with very small latencies...
is there such thing for Android that would allow me to use HTC as a modem? not internet sharing, usb nic, but usb MODEM?
I did some tething tests last night, and started out with real downloads at 60k a second. Over time going up to near 300 and stabalizing around 150 when i stopped.

From what I've heard/read, it's not the radio itself, but it seems to have to do with the PRI (note: not PRL)... most fully rooted phones end up with 1.34 instead of 1.40 and as of yet no one seems to know how to get it back to 1.40 (other than flashing w/ an official RUU, which un-roots you, and from what I've seen even that doesn't always work)... I personally have not seen any difference in my 3G speeds in my area... my guess is, that just like a PRL, your performance will differ based on your coverage area...

ANYONE that went to the engineering build (read: NAND unlocked) is stuck on the 1.34 PRI until it gets updated or someone patches it somehow.
I'm still in the "it doesn't make a difference and this is all placebo" camp though.
I'm consistently getting between 1.5-2.2mb download speeds with 3g and I'm fully rooted.

Can anyone confirm if they have a rock solid 3G/HSDPA data connection with HKCSL 1010 with any android builds? Please post APNs and radio/wm ROM/combinations if possible. It is nowhere near the speeds from my WM ROM from before but I just love the Android OS so much more as it's smoother and faster than any custom WM ROM's available. It runs great if it's on WI-FI, i just can't pay for my data connection and settle for a nice OS and almost 500Kbps data connection for now it's very frustrating and dissapointing since i'm in HKCSL 1010 NEXT G data plan..

with latest builds, i have problem with bad signal reception... a have edge connection most of time.. i didn`t have this problem before... now in 4 builds i`ve tryied.. maybe it is because ppp?
Thanks for the replies guys but what do u mean true hsdpa? We are on a 3.5G network and also I see some other fellow users having 3g speeds of 3-5mbps which is super fast already. I have tried almost every rom out there and different barebone WM ROM as well but made no difference. Speeds are like GPRS slow! Tried PPP and RMNET but can't even tell a difference...sad as I can't use it with full potential.

Those numbers aren't exactly true as the browsing is slow as hell. I don't know how speedtest.net do it but it sure hell ain't that fast as it seems like it's constipated.
Most I get on every build I've tried is rough 0.33mbs connection, I've hit nothing over 45kb/s yet seem to be able to upload at over 70, that's on T-MOB UK, pain in the arse but I just try and stick to wifi, nothing I can figure out after swapping so many roms/radios/builds/modules etc etc etc!!!!
try out bangsters 1.4 (the latest i think) and edit the startup to PPP, used chuckyrom and 2.12 radio and seems like it's working pretty good. Not much constipation at all. Try it out and let me know. I only had wifi so couldn't check 3G speeds before (here in HK for trip now).
i am using darkstones desire hd build on o2 in the uk and currently get roughly 2meg down when connected to hsdpa

Lei ho..
Please try my setup via my tag, I'm getting 2.3Mbit for download and 700kb for upstream..

Since moving to Android on HD2 from the myTouch Slide, my data speeds have oddly evened out.
Meaning, data speeds have increased in places I used to only get EDGE coverage at and decreased to about 2mbps where I used to get 4-5.
I just hopped on to this part of XDA but I've gathered that Android development has only been happening for about three months. That's nothing! Look at all the cool stuff people have done! I think it's only a matter of time before the radios and builds start jiving a bit better. I'm ultra happy with what I've got so far.

My speedtest results are good (~450-500 kB/sec down, 150 kB up) on 3g, but when I use the market, the speeds are much slower. Same with wifi: speedtest reports excellent results, but using market is slow.
Hi I just flashed back to a dutty's WM rom and the browsing speed is much more faster and consistant. The rom is fast but opera just isn't smooth at scrolling and the windows limitation of colors isn't as smooth either. There are always some good and bad for the 2. I miss android already...but until there is a fix for consistent 3G and hsdpa connection, it is not ready for primetime yet...just my personal opinion.

I'd have to agree unfortunately. Android's biggest weakness in my eyes is it's reliance on online connectivity. Nearly every app on Android needs to go online. So when the online connection is intermittent and unstable it makes Android virtually defunct.
for all the fellas having Data being slow....read on!
GUYS!!! been fiddling with this $hit long enough! Today, just found out why my provider and 3G speeds are so damn slow. I read up on other forums (not xda) and played with APN settings. Don't know if they were case sensitive or not, or whatever..but i simply put in my provider name "CSL", and APN as "internet" and leave EVERYTHING ELSE blank, i get a screaming fast connection. NO HICCUPS NO CONSTIPATION. TRY IT!!! Don't input all those garbage numbers as it just confuses you! ONE thing though, you will not be able to access WAP I believe but i don't use it anyways. I have a LIMITED data plan and all this testing been taking up my 500MB quota already so I won't even bother with the speedtest process anymore. GOOD LUCK and please report back guys!

This is perhaps the biggest issue plaguing my phone.
I'm getting intermittent periods of the above mentioned, when my signal strength indictor is good and it's showing that I'm either on 3G or H+, but whatever I'm on doesn't seem to load. Browser, Reddit is Fun, XDA app or even Whatsapp. In the same areas my Galaxy S2 consistently loads data while my Nexus 4 seems to just sit there doing nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what's the cause of this?
PS: I tried looking for some sort of email to contact Google and possibly send it back, but strangely I can't find anything!
Not sure what your issue is but its easy to contact Google.
Go to the play store on a PC ( could do it on a browser from your phone as well ) and go down to the bottom of the page and find my orders and settings. From there all your apps and devices show up. Go the the nexus 4 and help. From there you should find all the ways to contact Google.

Do you have the same issues while on wifi? If you do then I would think it was an issue with the phone, if not then there's something wrong with your service plan apn settings. Are you sure you set your service plan up correctly in the phone's settings?

My device doesn't even show up on that list I think I'm gonna try to use a VPN to spoof my location and see if I can get the contact email. I suspect contact emails aren't showing up because my country is not one of the official countries where the device is launched in.

The phone works perfectly fine on Wi-Fi. As for the APN settings, that has occured to me but as I understand it they are loaded on my SIM card by my provider and I'm pretty sure they are correct.
Looks like I'm gonna have to send it back somehow. I'm hoping it's a software issue that can get fixed relatively easily.

Are you with TMobile? I had a similar issue and I called up TMobile tech support and they reprovisioned/reprogrammed my data and while I've still had some data dropouts, they're not nearly as frequent as before.
Are you sure it's not your APN? I had a similar issue and assumed the APNs would be right from my provider. I looked them up online and entered a new APN. That fixed it for me.

I will check it again, but then if my APN was wrongly configured I think my mobile data won't work 100% of the time right?
I'm having this exact same problem but only in one specific location.
My signal on Tmo is good everywhere. The bars show medium to full strength and that is backed up by the reported metrics in Phone Info and Settings. However data is next to unusable at my office near Times Square. I only get "bursts" of data and if I try to use the browser, refresh mail, open Twitter, check FB, etc, the connection times out. At home, around Manhattan, and around the country Tmo gives me great HSPA+ speeds. I have checked my APN settings and they are corect.
Any thoughts?

Sounds pretty much like what I was experiencing. I see that the latest few CM10.1 nightlies have several HSPA commits. I'm gonna give the latest nightly a go and see if it helps. Was on CodeFireX BR10.1 during all these.
Edit: Observing the behavior of my signal icon, it seems that it idles at 3G. If I touch a link or initiate any action that loads data, it stays on 3G for a while before switching to H or H+. I'm wondering if the problem lies during this "transition" period.
Edit2: 5 minutes into the 13122012 nightly, I'm noticing that the phone stays on H+ much longer and the transition from 3G to H+ is much faster now. Will monitor and report back!
Just an update: After one day of usage I can safely say the problem is gone. Flashing to the 13122012 nightly of CM10.1 fixed it. I'm not sure what particular commit fixed it though.
Anyway, the configuration of my phone when the problem occured was CodeFireX BR10.1 and franco r13. I'm currently on CM10.1 13122012 and franco r14.

Same thing here. I have a rma unit coming in a few minutes or so, and I'll test it out. This happens to me around Midtown as well. The data speeds in Manhattan are at a crawl though around peak but that doesn't explain why it stops downloading data when there is full service and a stable data connection.

OK so I have the RMA unit in hand and it looks like its been used before but I can't really tell. The reason is because the screen protectors are off and there's no little part to grab and remove it. And the screen had looked like it had been wiped before.
Other than that, its running 4.2 and the data seems stable for now. Still need to test with something else.

Glad I am not alone. I'm very curious to hear how your new unit works out. Thanks for updating and I'll be waiting for more!

Just an update: After one day of usage I can safely say the problem is gone. Flashing to the 13122012 nightly of CM10.1 fixed it. I'm not sure what particular commit fixed it though.
Anyway, the configuration of my phone when the problem occured was CodeFireX BR10.1 and franco r13. I'm currently on CM10.1 13122012 and franco r14.

Well that is sure curious. I'll try CM10.1 again over the weekend and pick up franco as well. Please let us know if it resurfaces!
I'm having the same issue on Solavei (Tmobile) in NY im getting horrendous data speeds lik ping around 70ms-800ms Download speeds at .09mbps - .14mbps and even worse upload speeds... Im all stock and called them up they said long island and Manhattan are having network issues and it may not be fixed until the beginning of the new year... Im going to try cyanogen 10.1 and a new kernel. I know my friend who doesnt live so far from me isnt having this issue but then again he never messed with carrier settings apns and system info settings like i did X_X
OK it's not the phone at least, that's what I think. I'm on edge right now because of spotty service, where my HTC sensation used to pull full bars with hspa, I'm having edge and 2 bars here.
I think its something with the stock ROM on here, is everyone that's having the problem running stock?

The problem still isn't happening, or at least it isn't happening enough to make me notice. When it occurred I will be fuming throughput the 45 minutes of my daily commute. Now I'm happily using Whatsapp and Reddit is Fun

I want to think the radio is bad and Google Has to update it but my carrier says the cause of this was from hurricane sandy and it won't be fixed until the news year....I went into NYC from long island and I updated to cm 10.1 but still nothing
Hi, so today I have installed CM12.1 unofficial on my S5. I loved the rom, everything was perfect but I couldn't get LTE working. My Note 4 (N910c) gets 2 bars of indication in the same room, speed is 20mbs+. When I launch mobile data on S5, it takes long to estabilish connection, then only gets H+, and after several seconds it drops to 3G What can I do? CM is blazing fast compared to stock ROMs, but I can't imagine myself using 3G to YT/web etc... Help please! I have the newest modem/bl (BOC7).
I'm sure you've already checked your APN settings to be what your carrier advises. If not that is something to start with.
If you're on att,
Also look into your build.prop to add in/modify the following accordingly:
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
ro.product.name=klteuc
ro.product.device=klteatt

I am not ATT, i'm from Poland so Soo.. weird situation today. I've been in city centre where LTE signal is pretty good. For like 3-4h it was constantly switching between 3G/H/H+, and suddenly it caught LTE. Now I am at home and it still connects to LTE, 2 bars just like in Note 4. I am pretty confused now. It seems that modem/kernel/APN are all right, maybe a kind of system trigger that "stabilizes" the signal? 3G/H+ has 5 bars here, LTE only 2. I have already put a tick to "LTE (preffered) in network options. How about this?
EDIT
Rebooted the phone, again, no LTE
Wow that is cool! I remember my CM12 used to constantly wobble between H/H+ and once I finally gave up messing with it and screen turned off for 15-20 minutes, I'd turn the screen back on and find myself on a 4G LTE signal (feeling great). Once I made a call it drops to 3G, which is normal, but after I'd hang up it wouldn't necessarily switch back to 4G any time soon.
So I gave edgarf28's XtreStoLite a shot and haven't looked back since! It is touchwiz based, but it is light, debloated, lighting fast, and it just works. I'm on XtreStoLite 2.1, and I have no complains at all.
I have the same problem on a SM-G900T running on AT&T. After every reboot can only get H/H+ leave it alone and will grab LTE 10 to 40 mins after the screen is off. Leave the screen on and won't grab LTE. And of course make a phone call you lose LTE connection. And how long it takes to get back is very random. I can't find a solution to this and got a G900T so I can run AOSP. I was tired of touchwiz and trying to get themed apps and dialers. now I am screwed I wish I could find a solution to this.
No 3g but have lte
I know this is probably in the wrong spot so I'm sorry.
I just clean flashed my sm-g900r4 to cm12.1 cyan ROM 20150428
I have working lte data but no 3g, so when I move out of lte area the signal icon just shows an exclamation point, any help would be greatly appreciated.
The way I fixed mine was by removing all apn entries I didn't need. This caused the search for LTE to speed up no issues since

I removed all but the first APN and still no 3g, just signal indicator with exclamation mark.
Thank you for your time and reply

Why not upgrade to the latest CM12.1? I am on the October one and all the network issues are resolved.

I really don't know why the development stopped for klteusc, but if I were to guess, I'd guess it is probably covered under another variant.
For example, since klteusc is a cdma phone I won't be surprised to see US cellular CM getting absorbed into kltespr development. But this is just a hypothetical scenario because I couldn't find any proof. But it is worth looking into if anyone is talking about it online.
Hi all,
Do you think the 6P will work without battery drain or connectivity problems in Mainland China? Anyone using the 6P as their daily in mainland China. I don't want to move on from my Note 4 N9108v, if I'm going to find that the Huawei is bogged down with problems due to Google issues. I can use a VPN to get apps etc when I wnat, but if it is essentially compromised at a hardware level, than I cannot go there. Would love to get into a nexus now that the camera is near high standard. Anyone?
Also, Should be fine getting the HK version rather than the US version, right?
Ok - Not much of a response here. However, I was able to get a few PM responses and used another HK thread. Have decided to have a friend pick one up from HK for me and will know very soon whether or not it was a big mistake to Nexufy in Beijing China.
ive been using a 6p international version (HK) the phone works in china mobile as well as Unicom, 4g speeds are awesome... as for the battery,, ive noticed my 6p draining quite fast... perhaps has something to do with the google apps trying to connect to the google services that are unavailable in mainland.. out of that.. the phone works amazingly

Ty for the response...
I now have one. Weird that with my WiFi (China mobile) on, the phone keeps telling me that the network is connected, but no internet... When clearly there is. I haven't really tried the 4g speeds much, but they were dead slow on my note 4.. Yet amazingly fast on my note 4 when abroad, so I figure that it's just a China speed thing. Battery ends awesome enough compared to note 4 too.

That a problem caused by our network censorship that blocks Google. You need to disable "Captive Portal" scanning or set the server to a different one to avoid it.
Try the command "settings put global captive_portal_server g.cn" in Terminal with Superuser privilege.
Been using mine as a daily driver for 3 days, but flashed CM on it, so battery life does not impress. Wonder how good it is on stock, though, because all these Google apps will drain battery if you don't disable them or hook up to a VPN.

Yes, I am not ready to root yet and I am resisting the almost overwhelming temptation to root and rom right now, as I want to see and feel the natural stock experience for a good couple of weeks so that I can compare.
I am finding the battery is excellent for my situation so far. I have no regrets in terms of moving toward this rather than LG's V10, Huawei's 8 mate, Xiaomi's future offerings, or the Samsung Note 5... So far.
The wifi no internet notification, doesn't seem to affect any access to the internet. So ... I'm not going to worry about it - just looks weird with the little exclamation mark next to the wifi symbol. My work's wifi is VPN connected and I have two ready and set up on my phone for use. Although I don't really use them much when I travel to and fro and rely on the LTE network - (although at least one will work if I need it). I found that the native messaging service on the phone didn't send or receive a couple of texts yesterday, so I installed a new messaging app (SMS messaging (ASOP) Sylvain Galand) so far it seems to have worked 100%, but I haven't fully tested it yet. PLenty of time for that.
Yep, I'll stay on stock till after Xmas and see how it goes.
ok - Intersting thin is - was playing around with the old 6P putting 8.1 on it. couldn't get rid of the cross and connectivity problem.
Used to get fixed by:
settings put global captive_portal_server g.cn
But for ANdroid 8.1 it seems it is this:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_fallback_url http://g.cn/generate_204
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_http_url http://www.google.cn/generate_204
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_https_url https://www.google.cn/generate_204
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_other_fallback_urls http://www.qualcomm.cn/generate_204

Thank you sir.
Doubtful anyone else will have the same difficulty as I would imagine no one is using the 6P in china these days. But he solve is here if it helps.
