Solutions I’ve tried (all found in other topics):

  • Firmware downgrade to RUTM_R_00.07.13.4_WEBUI.bin (no success)
  • Prefered network type: 5G/4G/3G → 4G only (no success)
  • VoLTE: Auto → Off (no success)
  • Reset over bootloader (no success)

It seems that the modem firmware is buggy.
There are a lot off topics pointing in the same direction.

Need help before sending back the device.

Best regards

Does your data connection come back? Or what steps do you take to get everything working again?

Sometimes. But not always.
In some cases a reboot is necessaire.

Hello,

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused. Our development team has already contacted the module manufacturer to seek a solution, but it may take some time to receive a response.
