          @Lakotaubp I had to put back my extra sim to it and yeah, it has 5G 😄

          @Keneda I'm just saying that since the FP5 has it then the FP4 might get it too since from what I gathered from previous discussions about this is that 5G is much simpler to implement compared to VoLTE. I don't know the technicalities so I may be wrong too 😅

                I've just installed, no 5G option. I'm also waiting for it as I don't have the old cell types available near me, only 5G.

                  I missed the date, was the question asked? I have skimmed through the YT recording, but I believe it was ignored.

                  What is the way to submit a bug against the device documentation as it falsely advertise that data is working on FP4? I can't use Telegram (mainly because I really don't want to, if you have to ask).

                    @fair The question has been answered by Marius yesterday night during Q&A 159.

                    5G on FP4 should land on Noble first release.

                        woohoo, that's a really great news

                        by the way, they said porting code to openssl 3.x holds them down. Interestingly there's a nice feature to use new openssl lib with old client code by specifying the api level

                        https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/ba90c491254fd3cee8a2f791fc191dcff27036c1/Configure#L70-L74

                        but obviously updating the old apps is a better choice long term.

                          @fair That's interesting. 5G is very new and usually, only 3G/2G is shutdown. Even 4G is gone in your place?

                            It depends on the operator. Sure there is one having solid coverage of any signal anywhere around, but it costs 4 times more. I don't miss the slow pre-5G access anyway.
