I'm using an S23 Ultra, and I've noticed that whenever there's heavy data usage (like downloading large files via a hotspot), the phone automatically switches from 5G to LTE.

I tried forcing 5G using a 5G app, but when I do, the phone loses signal entirely, and the SIM gets disabled until I restart the device. This is frustrating because I rely on 5G for faster speeds, especially when tethering.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any solutions or settings I can tweak to fix this?

Brother, I have used all brands of phones including Samsung phones and it has been proven that only Samsung phones automatically switch from 5G mode to 4G mode more frequently than other brands of phones. Other brands have 5G+ network but Samsung phones do not have 5G+ network which is causing problems in using some.

Yes, Bro In know that because
I have been using my first samsung m20 since 2019 and sometimes I wish I would not use samsung but I like the Samsung Wallet feature and some other features of samsung and most of all samsung updates very quickly than other brand phones
