I don’t have anything with me to back up the phone while I’m away. I didn’t expect complete loss of signal when I came home for Christmas. It was patchy before I left Dublin. I’m not going to mess with it until I am back. In any case, there is no excuse for google not having fixed this by now. I’ll never buy a pixel again.

I'll give you €100 for it? ;)

Can you back it up to your Google drive over WiFi?

roarlad · 26-12-2021 6:19pm

FYI, for those looking, the Pixel 6 Pro is back in stock on Google Store.

Same here, it's actually gotten worse, driving around my local town today and no reception anywhere, couldn't even text all call my wife to ask about something she needed from the shops. Toggled adaptive connectivity and airplane mode on and off, no difference.

What if there was an emergency??

Its a bloody sham at this stage.

Have you tried flashing the old software that you had no issues with? At least one person has reported this solved all their issues.

jvrk · 26-12-2021 7:42pm

Is it possible to return phone to Vodafone even if I'm on bill pay as it's completely unusable since update.

Should be. But most likely they'll want it to be sent for repair. They might be aware of the issue and offer an alternative

Not yet, was hoping they would push an update out in a reasonable time but they are offering next to zero communication over this issue.

I had some reception issues with the last software version too, but nothing like this sh*tshow.

I'll probably do it in the next few days if no updates.

Charlie19 · 26-12-2021 10:36pm

Spent about an hour on live chat with a Vodafone rep and the guy assured me that he would solve the issue. First thing he asked "did you try turning it off and back on again?"

Then he went on to say try taking the sim card out and put it back in and restart your phone, he guaranteed this would resolve the issue.

Next rep I spoke to said bring it to a Vodafone store.

I've had multiple emails from Google support telling me they're working on a fix Yada Yada Yada, what you figure out from dealing with them is almost none of them are using pixels as they haven't a clue.

It sounds like the worst kind of bug, which only affects a small percentage of users. I'd say they're struggling to replicate it themselves as well.

Bluefoam · 27-12-2021 12:11am

What's the battery life like on the 6? I'm on a Pixel 4a, which I like, but lately I'm not getting even close to a days battery life... I do some calls, plenty of browsing, loads of casting YouTube and about 2 hrs of streaming music to Bluetooth headphones and need a full day from my battery.

I find the battery reasonably good but my usage pattern differs to yours so it's hard to compare. I'd be surprised if you didn't get a full day with some to spare out of what you're outlining there though.

Mecrab · 27-12-2021 9:40am

I would love to get the 6 but I don't think battery life would be up to snuff with my p40 Pro. I also don't think the camera would be a significant upgrade. I really want a phone with Google services again though!

SleetAndSnow · 27-12-2021 10:45am

Just received a DHL tracking number from a company called shipcloud, assuming it is the Bose 700's!

My claim was accepted on 4th November!

Same, except mine was Nov 3rd. I'm slightly disappointed, was hoping to get the QC45s.

I'm routinely getting over 7 hours screen time between charges. Bettery life seems very good to me.

And I also just got my tracking number for the headphones. Presuming 700s, oh well, I'd have preferred the qc45 I think.

Aokay · 27-12-2021 11:42am

anyone know if it's possible to exchange the Bose 700s for the QC45s with the Google store credit? I've also received the email about the tracking but I'm not against sending them back if necessary. I've contacted Google support previously and apparently the promotion is being handled by another company.

Same here

Mantis Toboggan · 27-12-2021 11:52am

Got delivery notice but no mention of which version of the headphones. Happy enough with either.

Fireblade77 · 27-12-2021 12:20pm

Received DHL tracking num. this morning at 07.00 , Claim accepted on the 02 Nov.

positron · 27-12-2021 2:26pm

Also got the email, thought it was a scam at first but good to hear it's legit. No email communication otherwise, so are we not getting store QC45s and store credit?

swai · 27-12-2021 2:58pm

I'm getting around 10% battery drain for an hour of usage. Mostly browsing and YouTube etc. If on 4G it doesn't last long as long as WiFi.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118377244#Comment_118377244

Severely doubt that's possible. The QC45s were only being offered as an interim solution when the 700s weren't available. They've confirmed they have the 700s back available. They aren't giving people the option.

J_R · 27-12-2021 7:00pm

HI,

After weeks of mayhem searching for a signal, calls going straight to mailbox etc. decided to roll back to November update. Took some time as never worked on a smartphone before.

However refused to install got message "SPL DOWNGRADE"

How have people by-passed this ????

Thanks

John

27-12-2021 7:11pm

So I take it those of us that got the store credit are also getting the QC 45's? Although I got the store credit a few days ago I've had no notification of an item being shipped.

Did you unlock your bootloader?

Just to add to this, are you trying to flash the old update over the current? You'll need to make sure you're flashing the full image from November, which will be well over 1GB. I'd say you can't flash an old OTA update over a new one.

dulpit · 27-12-2021 10:49pm

I moved from a galaxy s10 that I had for nearly 2 years to the pixel 6. I like the phone but the screen seems to pick up scratches at a ridiculous rate compared to the Samsung. Anyone else find this?
