| I researched the 5G battery problem, and apparently it's an artefact of the way some 5G base stations are set up. That might explain why yours (Wendi) didn't have the same issue.

Anyway, I've fixed it by setting the phone to 'preferred network type 4G'.

Picked up this yesterday as I needed an upgrade. Sturdy, heavy, great battery life and ideal. |

| It looks like you could fight Terminators with it.  _________________  |

| The (Fangirl) 3 network is completely down! Which means New Phone, the one with the Smarty SIM, had to be rotated out halfway through my working day, and replaced by Old Phone which is on EE.
I knew I'd be glad I travelled with two phones on two different networks one day.

| I thought I was going to have to use my 1p Mobile sim instead. _________________ |

| 1pmobile? You kept that very quiet. That is the EE-based provider that Old Phone uses.
I'm jolly glad that when 1pmobile went dead last Easter (with no explanation then or now btw) I resolved thenceforth to always have with me not just two mobile phones, but two mobile phones each on a different network.

| Ever since I decided to have my landline disconnected, three years ago, I've had Smarty as my main sim, and kept a 1p Mobile sim as backup.  _________________ |

| I'm thinking of getting a third phone, with a SIM that uses the Vodafone network.
And who knows, maybe a fourth, on O2.
