Help 5G strangeness

[groston]

I have a new, rooted Pixel 7 and Google Fi is my service provider. The reason the phone is rooted is to run AdAway - everything else is normal.

I noticed that when the phone indicated a 5G connection, Google Maps stopped working - no update on zoom in, no ability to give directions, etc. I did some searching and it was suggested to clear the cache and the data. I did this and Google Maps again seems to function properly when 5G is indicated.

However, I noticed the same issue with Enjoy Sudoku. When 5G is indicated, it cannot download a new puzzle and will not create one locally. While I could, again, clear the cache and the data, I would prefer to not do this because (I suspect) that my history would be lost.

So, the questions are this: Why on earth is the phone behaving strangely when there is a 5G connection? Are there any changes I can make to make this issue go away? Is there anything I can do, other than clear the cache and the data, so that Enjoy Sudoku works? Thanks.

I have a Pixel 7 with Google Fi and I use Google maps a lot but I have never had any problem with 5G stopping Google maps, nor have I ever cleared the cache or data from Google maps. The only thing different is my phone isn't rooted, nor do I have AdAway. Nothing else I can think of.

I've never noticed any different behaviour when on 5G vs LTE or WiFi on any app. I don't have Enjoy Sudoku installed, but Maps has always worked normally for me.

Have you tried pausing AdAway, just in case that's involved in some obscure way?

Also since your phone is rooted have you manually upodated it?
