This literally just popped up in my news feed, it’s exactly what I experienced yesterday.
So likelihood is 3 network didn’t go down in my area and it was the actual phone playing up. I did reboot several times which didn’t solve the problem straight away like mentioned in the article.
The weirdness I’m seeing is my physical SIM is disabled in settings and it will randomly turn itself on maybe once in 2 weeks on average, when trying to turn it back off the slider just jumps back to on and I have to reboot for it to them off.
eSIM all downloaded, ended up going with Vodafone on a 24 month plan. I remembered we get 15% off orders through a work scheme, so got a decent deal to start with and then also worked out cheaper once the discount was applied.
Think I’ll ditch Three altogether when my contact with them was the SIM is at an end.
Voda is giving me faster speeds and better coverage.
Edit - forgot to add it was one of the entertainment package SIM cards an all, so I’ve gone with YouTube premium. Not a big fan of Spotify so skipped on that one, I didn’t need Prime or cheaper Netflix. So that’s an extra bonus.
sorry to reserect an old thread but with the android 12 issues samsung are having rather than throwing my s21 ultra against a wall , im looking at changing it soon to the pixel 6 pro i see some of you have had it for a long time now is it any good ?
No particular issues in the four months I have had it
The fingerprint scanner was already wildly better than I had on the Moto G6 Plus and the Pixel 5 and it has improved further with recent patches, but it would be a lie to say that it is fine and happy 100% of the time
The camera is great, but absolutely loves some lens flare at night. Personal taste
Battery life is not especially good or bad. It generally lasts me all day right now, but I can still hammer it with heavy use
It is way too large for using with one hand and I sometimes feel I might drop it. It had a tendency to be a big slippery mess when placed on any surface, but the official case has mostly sorted that (but not before a slip out of my pocket added a small scratch to the screen…
It just feel in beta, randomly get no data despite full signal. Bluetooth headphones will just drop on a few different headphones I have for no reason.
Charging isn’t good for me I have the wireless charger and USB C chargers (30w,96w) and the way it charges doesn’t work for me. It goes to full pelt up to 50 then drops off a cliff. Prime example is last night I was out during the day and had about 25% battery. Was only in for maybe 30-45 mins and the battery got to about 60% which isn’t enough depending on the activity like a concert or a photo heavy evening. It needs an option to override and just let it fast charge until 80%
The screen is also too big for me as well but that is subjective. With Samsung now offering longer Android updates than Google I’m switching to an S22+.
Although if you want a P6 Pro in black with a Gen 2 wireless stand let me know
good luck with the s22 hopefully they fix the andriod 12 / google play issues that me and many others are having , i have to factory re set after every update so close to throwing the s21 ultra against the wall and seeing if it bounces lol
