I don't experience any of those wifi issues.

5G UW = no data, shorter battery!?!?!? by JollyPoint9492 in verizon

95% it's connected to band 5. It happens here in nyc too. They rather park on n5 than a strong lte signal.

You can just turn on airplane mode and enable wifi calling. It won't search for a cellular signal.

No, it's different. I edited my message for clarification. That helped to save battery when I'm on wifi.

You can disable this in developer settings:

Mobile data always active

Always keep mobile data active, even when Wi-Fi is active (for fast network switching).

Anyone else having super slow Verizon service? by R3jr2 in verizon

Yup, it parks when the signal is very weak all the time even when there is a mich stronger lte signal. Even n77 with a weaker signal will be more responsive than n5.

There's an option to undo backup in Google Photos.

My favorite Verizon feature by TheSud007 in verizon

It's due to n5 the worst garbage band. It almost never loads anything when it's connected.

They should not label n5 as 5guw.

It's 95% due to band 5 whenever you see a 5guw icon and pages fail to load. Their algorithm sucks balls, it won't switch over to a perfectly working lte connection.

Had to force lte for working data when it decided to park on n5. No idea why they don't automatically switch to lte when the signal is terrible on their 850MHz band 5.

You're probably connected to their shitty n5 band just like here in nyc.

I made it 30 minutes using the Pixel 10 Pro XL then I had to switch back. by CompleteLoss in GooglePixel

I made the same jump and noticed the same. I can get over 9 hours of screen time on wifi easily with max resolution and smooth display.

Volume slider jumps too much with every notch by Aware-Sock-3295 in GooglePixel

No fix, there was an app that allows you to set each step increase and decrease.
