Hi,
Anyone else experiencing poor mobile reception on their OP5? Running stock, rooted, but reception always seems to be poor and whoever is on the call says i keep breaking up.

Reception bars are nearly always 3 or more, but I'm wondering if these are showing a false reading.

I've done *#*#4636#*#* and selected LTE/UMTS auto PRL and European band, but nothing improves.

I've tried a few network providers, but same issues.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have the same issue. The oneplus 5 has a very weak modem. Theres nothing u can do. I suggest downgrading the plan you have. I myself went with Mintsim. They're very cheap. The signal itself has to be strong in your area because the phone wont pick up the slack. The bars are just telling you that you have a good connection to the tower in your area.
