Google Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro

Thanks for sharing. No joy here.😭

Nearly 1 week now with no phone coverage, Google are supposedly one of the biggest companies in the world this should have been a same day fix.

I missed several calls (the person could not contact me at all) as I was indoors in work on Friday, about a job opportunity for a family member. Luckily I met the person face to face today and they asked why my phone was off all day Friday. I did not have these reception issues with my previous phone (Huawei Mate 20 Pro)

This is really really poor form from Google, there are simply no excuses for not pushing out an emergency fix. I really like the device, excellent hardware but Android 12 is actually getting buggier for some reason and zero communication from Google.

I have been an Android user for many years now but this would really make you reconsider moving to the relative stability of iOS.

Oh and still no bloody headphones either 😂

Come on man. That's just not true. Samsung used to have the biggest bloated mess of a ROM up on top of Android, and it took forever for them to implement everything. Nothing at all to do with waiting for Android bugs to be ironed out.

On top of this OEM's have no problem whatsoever introducing their own bugs without the help of Google. Every single phone I've used has had software bugs of some sort. Some of them don't affect your day-to-day usage, but some do.

That said, this connectivity bug is a major issue for some users. At the very least, Google should guide these people on how to roll back to the previous software version, if they can't figure it out for themselves.

Sending out an update that messes up phone signal is a fatal flaw, the fact that it still hasn't been fixed in simply not good enough.

Google don't do enough in house testing and are happy to release products and then make changes afterwards. I've missed important calls from family friends and the hospital.

The email Google sent me was awful, basically wanting me to do all the work to document that I've no signal when thousands of people are affected by the same issue. Just not good enough. If they'd bothered to get WiFi calling setup it would have helped but again it's an afterthought.

I got my €75 voucher issued today. No sign of the headphones yet but maybe a sign of progress.

Yeah tried that, thought I saw a slight improvement but that soon disappeared.

Great news, when did you get your order in ?

Still no signal 85% of time, wife on same network is fine.

Sent in the developer mode info per request from tech support, will report back.

Carrier services beta didn't work also.

Claim for headphones was approved 4th Nov, no status change yet but I didn't really expect this side of Christmas and not too fussed personally, just don't tell people 60 days if not realistic as others will expect it.

It's all been a shambles really.

I tried that as well but doesn't seem to have made any difference. At my desk the phone used to have LTE coverage but now it's H+. Don't really mind that as I can leave it on wifi but very annoying when I'm listening to streaming services jogging as it keeps dropping out & then reconnecting.

Are people suggesting a factory reset will fix this issue? I'd be surprised if it does. Surely the way to fix it for sure is to flash the previous factory image from November.

Looking at last year, I had 2 pairs shipped on December 3rd, and they arrived on the 14th and 17th of December. I think they did come through the UK. I'd say there's very little chance of seeing them before the New Year. My 60 days is something like Jan 4th anyway. I'd say the earliest applications were November 1st, which would be December 31st for their 60 days if they were approved straight away.

Switching to carrier services beta program seems to have fixed the issue for me. So far so good.

It seems this may only be a temporary fix from what I've been reading elsewhere, others report it having no effect or quickly reverting to as before. The same for the adaptive connectivity setting, either no effect or reverts quickly. Worth trying obviously, but doesn't look good.

I saw a post on reddit saying google are mailing bug submitters a fix to test. I'm in software myself and this seems beyond bananas for a company like Google. Surely they have a boat load of Pixel 6 devices for their own testing. Sending end users fixes to test, that are not guaranteed to work is insanity.

I'd have to assume at this point that the fix will be with the January update. I'll wait for a good while before installing any updates again, which is the exact opposite of what I was expecting with a Pixel device.

This has worked for some people and not for others. I tried it last week and it did nothing for me and I ended up rolling back to the November build. It's possible there's a newer version of Carrier Services this week but if not it's not really a fix as it only works for some people and even then isn't always permanent. Worth a try but don't expect too much.

Good evening all. Looking at the thread has put me off buying one of these in the New Year.

Should I be put off or would you still recommend?

It's actually 60 days after approval if you check the confirmation email. So that's the 17th of Jan for me.

I called Google yesterday to complain and ask if I can return the phone for a refund. I am waiting on a response
