Since updating I'm not getting notification of new emails till I open Gmail, a problem I've had in the last but everything seems set correctly.

Check the adaptive battery setting is turned off (different from adaptive charging).
Adaptive battery increases battery life by pausing some apps checking for new data (like Gmail) when the phone is put down and idle but will then check once phone is picked up and active again.

Not too bad if it's brand new.
Although with various offers, I managed to get one for the Mrs for £320
Carried out the upgrade to Android 13 last night and now find that my network connection is back to showing as 5g. Would be alright if my ping wasn't around 200 and my download speed about 2mbps.
Problem is, the option to go into settings and select 4g as your preferred signal is no longer there. It has been removed in Android 13. Stuck with really poor mobile download speeds now. Not happy.

You can dial *#*#4636#*#* to open the advanced menu, select phone information and force 5G off there.
Thanks for this. I had looked but way too many options to select from. At least in the old network setting the option was 5g or 4g. There is about 20 different permutations of signal to choose from, none of which are as straightforward as 5g or 4g.
Did a bit more digging and i think that in amongst all of the combinations, NR is 5g and LTE 4g. Just need to try a few of them. Thanks again.

Easy solution is to opt into the Android 13 beta, which now installs the stable version, but make sure you opt out again once installed.

Currently using LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA since it covers all the ones used in the UK. GSM is 2G, WCDMA is 3G, LTE is 4G and NR is 5G. The others are different mobile technologies used in other parts of the world.

Lol at 4g being faster than 5g... What a joke. I'm with Smarty and 5g is excellent so far.
I knew what LTE stood for.... Long term evolution or something like that.
Had to look up NR. Apparently stands for New Radio. Talk about being creative
Think the issue is that i get a very weak 5g signal at home and at work and the phone doesn't switch to 4g which is a stronger signal. I am with iD mobile using 3 network.

I've updated my P6 to 13 and still have the option to set the preferred network type on O2. Settings/Network & Internet/Sims/Preferred Network Type (3G, 4G & 5G)

That's weird I'm on Three and it's definitely disappeared for me as well since upgrading to 13

Likewise - 6 pro on iD.

Ah, I got £160 store credit from buying my pro and also another promotion at the time. They cocked up my pro order, sent the wrong phone. So I managed to get great deals on both phones and some freebies thrown in
