Android cellular mobile not seeing network Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G SM-F926u

Hi, I have a Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G SM-F926u that sees the zerotier network when on wifi (not sure if it’s using zerotier), and definitely not seeing anything when on mobile/cellular.

I have enabled cellular data and checked Disable ipv6.
I am unable to ping anything on my home network.

I have a cable router from the cable company, with a asus merlin router handing out DHCP and a pihole with a static ip connected to the cable router. The asus merlin router is getting DNS from the pihole.
The pihole is doing dns over https.

I have been able to get a drone on 4g to connect to the home zerotier network wihtout a problem. The drong is on googlefi sim card.

The android is on tmobile.

whew.

UPDATE:
So I can ping via ip address from my phone on cellular to a device on my local network. Is it possible for local DNS resolution? Or is that asking to much?

I am unable to stream video from a device on the network to my mobile using cellular.

Unfortunately some cell providers are just extraordinarily hostile to peer-to-peer communication. Sometimes it even differs between regions on the same provider, and we don’t have a lot of information to go by on how or why. I have T-Mobile myself and everything works fine in my area on both my Android and iOS handsets. Meanwhile, others on T-Mobile in other parts of the country have issues. Wish there was more I could offer for help, but there really isn’t at this time.

I’m friends with the tmobile corporate rep in my area. Anything (buzzwords) I should bust his balls on? p2p? Anything else? I think I heard the word ‘punching’ once.

I should be able to ping it’s local zt ip address from local, right?
I had reformatted to a 32bit os, added zt apt, deleted the old record in the webpanel and then readded, it says it’s there, but when I ping itself, it’s not pinging…

how are you installing via APT on Android? Never heard of that before. All we support on Android is the Android package.

#6

The drone is apt on RPI4B+ raspbian, running on a 4g dongle. I think i installed it with apt…either way, the zt-cli is on the pi.

EDIT: Just realized I never mentioned the drone on 4g; the 4g dongle is on google fi.

Ive got a couple issues going on here; let me get back to you on this. Thank you.

Ahh I see. I was confused as the topic at hand is about Android.

At any rate, if you’re pinging the managed IP address of the local machine, it should indeed respond:
