I run GrapheneOS on a 4A with TMobile and the frequent reports of people trying to call me telling me my line is out of service and days where calls won't initiate from my phone at all makes me want to run back to my iPhone.

The tethering seems to be pretty flakey as well with me often having to reboot the phone.

I've been using GrapheneOS on a 4A with TMobile as my daily driver for over a year and have had none of these issues. Never had an out-of-service notice from someone calling me, never had a call not initiate, and tethering works great.

Maybe it's something to do with OpenGapps? I never installed it or microG, I'm perfectly happy with just Fdroid.
