Mobile Data is one of those things that only becomes a life necessity once you acquire your first smartphone. It’s only when you lose connectivity that you realize you don’t know how to get anywhere without Google Maps, don’t have anything to scroll without Facebook, and don’t know how to communicate with people through any medium other than WhatsApp. In this article, we are going to discuss a few options to fic when Mobile Data keeps disconnecting on OnePlus 8 Pro.

It happens due to different features that can control the Mobile Data connection on your Android phone. These features or apps are provided by phone manufacturers. It can differ from device to device. Sometimes firmware updates also cause the problem in Wi-Fi due to some bugs.

Fix, Mobile Data keeps disconnecting on OnePlus 8 Pro

Verify signal strength

In a lot of network issues, poor or weak signal is to blame. If your OnePlus 8 Pro is showing No Service all the time recently, be sure to check how the signal bars are showing on your device. Anything lower than 3 bars is not good and can indicate a network issue.

If you are inside a building, try to go out and see if No Service goes away. If you are traveling by car, it’s possible that you may be transiting a dead spot. What you want to do is to move a known well-covered area. If No service remains, there may be an issue with your OnePlus 8 Pro. Continue troubleshooting it by following the steps below.

Verify connection speed

If there are no signal drops at all, it’s possible that the problem may be caused by a slow internet connection. If the internet is slow, it can sometimes manifest as being regularly disconnected. If the internet connection speed is way too low for your subscribed speed, you should consider getting help from your carrier about it.

Disconnect VPN

This only applies when you are using a VPN. VPN sometimes slowdowns the speed, resulting in no mobile data connectivity. Try to disconnect it and see how mobile works without it. If there’s no disconnection at all, the VPN service you’re using may be having some problems.

Forced reboot

Well, I think you already know how to restart your phone. So just restart the device and see whether it solves the issue or not. Restarting a device is always an ultimate solution for any issue.

Well if you still need to know how to restart then, here is it: Press your phone’s power button. On the screen, tap Restart.

The other way of the reboot is as follows:

  • Press and hold down the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time.
  • Hold the Power button down for 10-15 seconds, or until the phone vibrates and restarts.
  • If the phone turns off let go then press power again for 1-2 seconds to restart the phone.

If this doesn’t work then head to the next method.

  • Your phone will be forced to return with an error because it won’t be able to register successfully.
  • Afterward, select your network again and see if your device will now be able to re-register and fix the bug.

Troubleshoot apps in Safe Mode

In case you don’t know what is safe mode, in safe mode, the system temporarily disable all third-party applications you installed on your device. By doing this we can figure out which app is occurring the problem. Follow the below step to turn Safe Mode on:

Clear Cache from Recovery Mode

In case you don’t know what is recovery, the first thing the bootloader rings up is the recovery. Recovery Mode refers to a special bootable partition, which contains a recovery application installed in it. And you can fix some problems with your phone. Follow the steps to clear cache from recovery mode:
