Sailfish X (single sim)

After upgrade to 3.0.2.8 the phone rebooted and there was no network. Going to mobile network and trying "Prefer 3G" made the phone register to the operators network.

Was there some change around this from last release? I tried to find something in the release notes, but couldn't.

Is it good to stay with prefer 3G?

Have you tried just switching the setting back to "Prefer 4G"?

On my XA2 (dual sim), mobile networking fails to start on boot-up quite often. Dis- and re-enabling the sim card in the settings fixes the issue. Switching the network mode may have done the same for you, so there is a chance it will keep working when switched back...

Yes I tried switching back to Prefer 4G, but it is the same ... the network disappears. Prefer 3G seems to be the right thing for now

You must specify which device you are talking about. This is definitely a driver-related issue, so this information is vital.

Are you sure, there is 4G at your location currently? Maybe the infrastructure for 4G broke recently? Only low chance, but maybe ....

@Giacomo Di Giacomo: thanks added device information

@Holger: It is possible but I do not know about it - when saying prefer, it means prefer, not enforce, so it should switch back to 3G. What I think is, that here 4G might be pretty week, but anyway, this was not visible before the upgrade.
