Use the apps outside of the Wi-Fi

[Alain1]

Hello,
I can’t use the apps outside of the Wi-Fi connection. However, “Access mobile data via the mobile network” is checked.

I did a “QR” search in settings and didn’t find it. Maybe it’s under different text?

I can make phone calls. Pair this with no WiFi on my router and I’ve been brought back to the early 2000’s!

Settings to force use of mobile data

I’m trying to force the Brax3 to the mobile data. When I shut off the WiFi Internet disapears. Tried switching from 5G to LTE but no joy. Suggestions on what I’m missing welcome.

This phone has become the most frustrating one I ever owned. I have been unable to access the data network from the very beginning. Mobile data is selected. Automatically select network is selected.
