Your 5G isn't a luxury, it's your new standard speed.

Swipe to discover how to improve your connection, resolve unexpected issues, and unleash the full potential of the 5G network.

Settings to maximize the 5G signal

To ensure the best 5G coverage on your mobile, go to Settings → Networks and Internet (Android) or Mobile data (iOS) and check the following:

• Frequency band: On advanced mobile devices, you can choose Sub-6 GHz bands for broad coverage or mmWave bands for peak speeds in urban areas. Activate it in Advanced Options mobile network.
• Network mode: Select “5G Preferred” instead of “4G/5G Auto” if your carrier offers a strong, consistent 5G signal; this prevents unnecessary jumps to 4G.
• Reset radio: on Android, mark ##4636## in the dialer and go to “Phone information” → “Turn off radio”/“Turn on radio” to force reconnection.
• Correct APN: in Settings → Mobile network → Access Point Names, check that your carrier's APN is configured correctly; some older profiles block 5G.

With these settings, your smartphone will search for and maintain a more stable and powerful 5G signal.

Troubleshooting common problems

Even with the ideal setup, obstacles may arise:

• No 5G signal: Confirm coverage on your carrier's map and move a few meters; sometimes, just going up a floor or near a window is enough.
• 5G does not appear in settings: Restart your phone and remove the SIM for 10 seconds. If the problem persists, try the new 5G SIM card provided by your operator.
• Intermittent falls: Enable hybrid mode (“Auto 5G/4G”) so that the device returns to 4G in gaps without 5G and thus avoid continuous interruptions.
• Mobile data errors: Clear the network app cache: Settings → Apps → Show system → Mobile network services → Storage → Clear cache and data.
• Indicator stuck on 4G: restores networks in Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile, and Bluetooth.

These steps typically resolve most issues and restore your 5G connection quickly.

Security and data saving tips

5G boosts high-speed data, but without control, it can skyrocket your usage:

• Data limits: in Settings → Mobile network → Use of dataSet a monthly limit and receive an alert when you reach it; this way, you can avoid surprises on your bill.
• Smart downloads: Download only critical content with 5G; enable “Download over Wi-Fi only” on your video or music player to avoid draining your plan.
• Assisted Wi‑Fi: Enables the function that combines Wi‑Fi and 5G according to network quality (on some Androids you find it as “Wi‑Fi + 5G”), balancing speed and savings.
• Low power mode: On iOS, select “5G Light” to maintain basic 5G connections without draining battery; on Android, reduce the background data refresh rate.
• VPN and securityUse public 5G networks with caution; install a reliable VPN and avoid exposing your credentials to open hotspots.

By following these recommendations, you'll control your billing and keep your information protected.

The future of 5G and emerging use cases

5G is just beginning its revolution. We'll soon see:

• Connected vehicles: cars and drones exchanging data in real time to avoid accidents and optimize routes.
• Smart cities: surveillance cameras, traffic lights and coordinated street lighting to improve traffic and energy efficiency.
• Remote Health: Remotely guided surgical operations thanks to low latency and massive bandwidth.
• Extended reality: augmented and virtual reality applications in sporting or tourism events, overlaying live information.
• Internet of Things (IoT): from household appliances that communicate to save energy, to industrial sensors that report faults instantly.

Keep your 5G phone up to date to take advantage of these innovations as they roll out.
