Understood: default, you did not change apn settings.
Not saying this is it but nevertheless it might be worth checking.
Update to v1.0 produced a somewhat similar sounding issue (not exactly though) in my phone that I could fix by adapting the apn settings.
Maybe it is worth checking out the Access Point Name (APN) used by your carrier. They are usually published openly, or usually you can ask the carrier to send the APN to your device.
Personal view, the carrier may expect the APN to be delivered dynamically, but /e/ may interfere with this process. There are a few posts in the #apn category.
The APN already existing on your device should be found in
Settings > Network and Internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Access Point Names
I’ve tried all available options under [Settings > Network and Internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Access Point Names]. Nothing works.
Besides, changing those APN setting would make sense to me if LTE would not work at all. The web browser works fine. The issue is that everything else can’t connect for some reason. Before the upgrade (with Android 7) everything was fine. I think the hardware is ok.
I’ve tried all currently available ROMs for my device. None of them solved the issue. I don’t see a way to downgrade to my previous version (Android 7) again.
It’s a Samsung Galaxy S7. I had /e/ OS on it before. I don’t know which exact version, but it was an Android 7 ROM from (I think) 2021. I upgraded directly to /e/ OS 1.4 and got myself into this mess
EDIT: I should add, that after the upgrade I did several factory resets, meaning. sideloading clean images directly on the device with adb, just in case the upgrade broke something. As I mentioned before: that didn’t help.
I think at this point you can ignore the fact that I once upgraded the phone. I only mentioned it to point out that these things (app store, system upgrade, other apps, …) worked a couple days ago. Right now it’s a clean /e/ OS 1.4 after a factory reset (several actually), using default settings across the board. Also, right now I don’t even have any additional apps installed. I only rushed through the initial initialization using all defaults and for now I avoid any kind of configuration/customization. My test case is the App Lounge and the system upgrade feature. I don’t do anything else until I manage to get them to work.
Immediately after a reset, I enabled adb debug mode and let “adb logcat” running. Here are some interesting logs:

Based on these logs I would normally assume a general network/connection issue. The app store is not working, same for the system upgrade feature, not even time synchronization (NTP). That raises the question: Why is the webbrowser the only thing that works? I can successfully load websites!
Is there some security feature in the way or something?
