NP(1)5G Not Auto-Connecting – Stuck on 4G!

ta_RUN

📱 Nothing Phone (1)

📡 Android 15 | Airtel 5G | Security Patch: April 1

Since 16 April 2025, my phone shows full 5G signal in the status bar, but apps like NetMonster say 5G is disconnected. It stays on 4G unless I manually reset network or toggle airplane mode — only then 5G connects. Even though there is 5G connection and it should connect to 5G automatically.

Meanwhile, daily data gets used up due to fallback to 4G.

Because it’s showing me 5G but actually its 4G.

Please fix this bug 🙏

I posted a similar complaint 7days ago. Got no response, no feedback. I tried everything.

*Update, I factory Reset the phone, Still facing the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

ta_RUN As a suggestion, try turning off 5G Standalone if you have that enabled, and see if that helps.

Depends on network frequency. I had the same issue with jio, i raised complaint several times later network team did something to my nearest tower and now its working fine.

Smart 5G and standalone both are off. Called Airtel coustomer care, I tried resetting my APN, Network. Tried everything a normal Person can do. It’s been 13 days now, I raised several complaints to Airtel, called their coustomer Exicutive, they all say it will be resolved, Re-start your phone, and update your phone.

At first I thought it was network side issue, but after seeing that my friend is getting full 5g in the same spot not me. I think it is my phone’s bug or something

ta_RUN if you are comfortable do a factory reset it might help
