There was a post a while back that described a bug in iOS 26.4 that breaks midband 5G on Dark Star if running in dual sim and I personally experienced this as I had no 5G+ on my 17PM once I updated.

I updated today to 26.5 and it seems the bug has been fixed and I now receive 5G+ again. Just a heads up if anyone else is having these issues, updating to 26.5 with the new carrier bundles may or may not help.

EDIT: This may or may not rectify the bug, it’s hit or miss.

I posted a couple of weeks back about 5GUW seemingly being out not only at my residence but the surrounding area and after checking the network status portal online, it confirmed there was an outage and a week later, it said it was fixed.

It hasn’t.

There is still no UW at my residence whereas before this ‘outage’ service was absolutely stellar, fantastic speeds and coverage but now it’s lacking and things time out. It’s the same thing at the places I frequent, there’s no UW apart from one CVS and a Target about ten minutes in either direction.

I’m not too familiar with what’s happening corporate wise but is this the new norm? I’m old enough to remember the ‘can you hear me now?’ commercials and I understand that may or may not hold forever but to say service was ‘fixed’ when it just plainly wasn’t is laughable.

FWIW, I have a 17PM.
