      I have had this issue on 2 different devices (both FP5) with any iteration of stock 13 images, 24.x daily/stable/rc.
      When the connection happens, it works fine but it NEVER switches automatically.

      What happens:

      Leave Home

      • phone does not automatically switch to cellular connection when Wifi is out of range
      • "Network Issue" error and anything requiring data of any kind fails to connect
      • Turn Flight mode ON then OFF
      • Connects to cell and gets data

      Go home

      • Phone does not reconnect to Wifi when its in range
      • Manually enable wifi
      • Connects and wifi works as expected

      Without toggling flight mode on/off there is no cell data no matter what I try (APN settings ect - no change)

      Is there a fix or work around that does not involve flight mode and me constantly forgetting to switch network types back and forth, and thus missing important messages etc from my family.

        @Futura Mobile network -> previous networks: Remove (forget) all networks and reconnect to your home network.
        This solved a few network issues for me.

          @Linus67 Thanks, I will give this a shot! Does your device connect and disconnects from cell/wifi after doing that?
