last week I got the update to Android 11 for my Fairphone 3. Since completing the update, I can’t get to the internet without Wifi. I tried to find new APN-setting (vor YESSS (Austria)). But it still doesn’t work.
Any suggestions what to do? Thanks in advance!

Just to be sure – did you check whether the SIM card you want to use for mobile data is still selected?
And here’s a suggestion from OldRoutard, concerning earlier update of FP2 but worth a try – that is, if you didn’t try it already:
Could you clarify what you exactly did ,when you say resetting? Did you create a new APN, did you correct then existing APN, did you deleted the existing APN before you created a new one? Did you save whatever you entered (there have been misunderstandings before, therefore I’m asking).
I went to Settings ⟩ Network and Internet ⟩ Mobile network ⟩ Access Point Names. Then I pressed the ⋮ (three dots) in the top right corner and selected Reset to default.
I don’t know if that’s what made it work again, it’s just one of the things I did before it started working again. I also re-enabled mobile data several times, rebooted the phone once, and waited for several hours.
I also have the feeling that the 4G connection is very unstable & sometimes disappears since the update to Android 11. In fact that’s what I came looking for on the forum just now.
I assume that this is without using a VPN and that’s my problem: I also tried this with the VPN enabled and it didn’t help. I guess that for the time being I can’t use the VPN on my mobile internet connection on the FP3+…
Interesting, I had the same problem at home. I cycled to another area of Cambridge yesterday and it worked there. Also worked at home when I got back. Can’t be 100% sure it was the update after which it wouldn’t connect to the EE network as there are times when it is dodgy in the area anyway.
Same problem here. Seems to have been resolved by resetting the APNs to default and then doing a full power cycle (not just reboot, power off and power up again).
