Could switching to GrapheneOS fix the carrier data issues on a 10-series Pixel?

Hello!

I've recently bought a Pixel 10 Pro XL and am loving it except for one thing. For quite some time I thought it was my operator's problem that my internet didn't feels as good after switching, but after doing some tests by running a simple ping with my SIM, another operator's SIM, and doing the same on one of my old phones it's obvious that my Pixel is the problem: the packet loss could reach up to 80% sometimes with me being unable to do anything internet-related on the cellular data for without waiting a few minutes or sometimes even without rebooting.

I've read that this issue became pretty common after some software update to stock. Did anyone have the same problem and could it be fixed by switching to Graphene, or is RMA the way to go here?

Neither GrapheneOS, nor downgrading stock did fix the issue :|

Interesting. This would be an enormous bug in a Google phone.
Sort of a high severity high impact issue.
What tools are you using to show packet loss. I'm assuming this is using your mobile network.

I'd like to try to reproduce this.

Dougga Hi! Sorry, the notification got lost in the inbox

I'm pretty certain this was a hardware issue. I've returned my phone and got a replacement and it worked perfectly.

I measured packet loss by simply pinging different IPs (mostly 8.8.8.8), I know it's a bad diagnostic tool, but the phone was objectively just extremely unstable and borderline unusable over cellular data.

The phone I got as a replacement has worked flawlessly ever since I got it after returning my original purchase back in February or early March (I don't remember exactly)

gregthemadmonk Thanks for reporting back! It's great that replacing the device fixed the problem.
