I have a pixel 6 on Google Fi. The cell coverage at my new home is not great. If I have my preferred network type set to 5G I have no Internet connectivity. If I manually change it to LTE I get connectivity (albeit slow).

Shouldn’t the phone try this on its own? If not, is there a legitimate app that will do this for me transparently and effectively?

    If the “preferred network type” setting is “5g/4g/3g/2g” then yeah, the phone should try all of them in that order.

      Well, I wish it would. It just stays on the non-working 5G unless I change the preference setting.
