OnePlus 3T on the Public Mobile Network

yo — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 18:13:00 GMT

Just wanted to make a quick post to show that the OnePlus 3T should have no issues connecting to the Public Mobile Network

Public Mobile

For 3G use (UMTS/HSPA): 850MHz/1900MHz bands

For 4G/LTE use: 1700MHz/2100MHz bands

For 4G/LTE use: 700 MHz band

Anyone getting this phone for use on Public Mobile will want the North American variant.

The Global variant lacks LTE Band 2, LTE Band 4, and LTE Band 17, all of which are used in Canada, and thus, The LTE experience wouldn't be very good.

Hi
my Oneplus 3T seems to be locked to LTE band 2.

Is this normal?
Is it supposed to swtich bands around for optimal performance?

I'm in Toronto, and while I don't have a OnePlus 3T, I've found that my phone is almost always on Band 2 for LTE. Rarely am I ever on Band 4, at least in my home area. I do sometimes connect to some LTE towers that the an app called LTE Discovery that are of a band that the program can't identify, but those are likely Bands 7 and 17. I wouldn't worry about it. I have a feeling that where you are, Band 2 might be the most used or has the strongest signal

@ruvion where abouts are you located in the country? Also, are you usually in a downtown core?

My last post got eaten up. 🙂

Im in North York and almost never in the downtown core.

@ruvion interesting. You're probably on Bell towers, so maybe it just happens that band 2 is more prevalent in North York. I wouldn't worry about it though, as long as you're getting a consistent signal and sufficient speed.

I took a stroll in downtown the other day and found that i am always on band 2.
I cant get past 20-25 mbps download speed. Is this normal for you guys as well?

Re: OnePlus 3T on the Public Mobile Network

I rather keep it at 20-25, you don't want it too fast cuz it eats up ur data!

@ruvion I'm in Calgary (where Telus deploys and maintains cell equipment) but those speeds sound about right to me as well. I find that I am also on band 2 quite a bit but sometimes I'll be on either band 4 or 7. When I'm in a weak signal area I can be on band 5 as well.

Re: OnePlus 3T on the Public Mobile Network

Rockdaddy22 — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 04:16:51 GMT

What kind of speeds are you getting?

Re: OnePlus 3T on the Public Mobile Network

srlawren — Sun, 01 Jan 2017 02:37:51 GMT

@moomoocow Go to settings, Cellular Networks, Preferred Network Type. Is it set to "3G" instead of "LTE (recommended)"?

@Geoff, this happened to me too when I updated to Nougat on my Oneplus 3T. For some reason the update deleted the APN. You just have to add the Public Mobile APN with the information as shown below by going to Settings>SIM & network>SIM 1>Access point names. Becareful with autocorrect. If autocorrect added a space somewhere, it may not work. You can't just edit the APN if you saved it with a space, at least it didn't work for me. You would need to delete the APN and start again.

One of my friends uses a OnePlus 3T on Public Mobile. No issues with the network, calling, texting, or data. It runs OxygenOS, a variant of Android 7.x "Nougat", which is semi-proprietary - all the software bundled on this phone is optimized for this phone's hardware and runs most excellently, but it doesn't always play nice with generic Android-N apps. The open Android market tends to place more emphasis on multi-device compatibility than on specific-device optimization, so don't expect to find any more truly awesome software for this phone unless it comes from OnePlus.
