I'm on e/OS and it works pretty great. Except phone calls usually won't hear me unless the mic is enabled before the call rings.

Also it won't takeT-Mobileas MMS if cell signal is zero.

Sounds like it works like shit

That's an issue of the particular device, not of /e/OS itself.

First one yes, drivers could be better. The second one I'm blaming on T-Mobile.

Ater an update a few months ago, I've had Issues with my FP5 and T-Mobile (Germany) as well, but it was definitely the drivers, as it worked before. The chipset suddenly didn't like the frequencies used by T-Mobile for 5G and lost connection after a few seconds. Fortunately, it was fixed by the next update.

I have not had issues with t-mobile mms, even when i have no cell signal and am on WIFI calling.

T-Mobile US
fast.t-mobile.com
proxy not set
port not set
user not set
password not set
server not set
MMSC http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy not set
MMS port not set
MCC 310
MNC 260
Auth type not set
APN protocol IPv6
APN type default,supl,is,mms,xcap

Basically the same as the T-Mobile site except they have MMS protocol as WAP 2.0 and I don’t seem to have that setting.

Edit: changed the last statement as MMS protocol is not in my APN settings
