Google Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro

Where are you based? What / when did your tracking update. Delivered via an post?

An Post have mine in Dublin, but I'm Limerick, so it'll probably go out for delivery tomorrow.

Picked one up from Vodafone today. It's unlocked. Thanks!

Hopefully be shorter for you as mine was over the xmas break, there isn't as much down time over the new year break :)

I had a parcel sent from Germany last year that according to tracking sat in the sorting centre in Dublin for over a week. Contacted them to find it was really in Little Island in Cork but wasn't moving from there either, eventually they said I could go collect it myself which I did so three weeks after it was sent I got hold of it. They never explained why it hadn't been delivered. The experience made my friends in Germany never use DHL again to send parcels as they hand stuff over to An Post & wash their hands of it, UPS is preferred carrier now.

No fix for the signal issue until late Jan I read & the Dec update is no more.

It's just so so bad. There are enough impacted that they pull the update and yet no urgency to help those who are.

Not having a go at you, but unfortunately we live in a society where nobody is proactive in solving their own issues, even with everyone having the internet at their fingertips. People would prefer to moan on the internet when that time could be spent fixing the issue.

It's crazy to me that people are living with this issue for weeks, when they could have reverted to a fully functioning phone almost immediately.

Almost everyone knows someone who is comfortable doing it. Knowing there is someone here that already reverted over a week ago, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to help.

I rolled back to the November firmware after a few days off trying every "solution" to the December problems. The main hassle was logging in to all my various accounts after.

I'm of the same mind as you. Super pissed at Google about this, the very VERY minimum expectation of any phone is that it can make and receive calls. It's absolutely indefensible.

Update only at end of January? Farcical.

Yeah it's back to pre update performance for me but I had no phone signal at home and I can put up with the fingerprint issue for now.

Mine is the standard 6.

I would've thought that you just do a factory reset.

No you need to flash the November build, factory reset would still be on December. When I did factory reset it did nothing for my connection issues, only complete roll back solved it.

Yeah, this is what I did, walks you through step by step

It took me about 5 seconds to find this - they do provide instructions here:

https://developers.google.com/android/images

I'm sure with some further use of a search engine of your choice, you could find a guide that further breaks this down. There are probably video guides on YouTube too.

The process naturally cannot be made super simple or frankly you'd probably just have many more posts here of people who'd messed up their phones trying this simply because they could!

If anyone who's affected cannot follow these instructions then the odds are you know a nerd/techy/whatever that can and will do it for you.

Going by reports above, there will be no fix from Google in the short term and so if you find yourself badly affected by these issues and have no spare device to fall back on then you really should try to flash back to November image. You will need to wipe the phone in the process so back up first.

If you don't want to flash and you don't want to wipe then, I'm sorry, but you are stuck. I doubt that anyone here would disagree that Google are not handling this well at all and I am surprised at their lack of response. I can live with the issue as I'm not badly affected but obviously there are those that are. There may be avenues open to such people to return their phones to whatever vendor that they were purchased from under the grounds that they are not fit for purpose but I've seen no posts here related to that so I'm not sure how that will go but it's worth exploring if someone has become that exasperated. Anyone who got the phone as part of a contract may be able to enlist the help of ComReg but will have to engage with their mobile operator and jump through their hoops first.

Perhaps anyone who has pursued above could report how they got on? Although I imagine many will not have done so as it might jeopardise their free headphones but maybe there are some...?

There are Citizen information and Consumer Rights groups to try as well. They may have some advice or approach that can be taken with this in regards to dealing with Google customer services.

While I recognise the frustration, there's no one here who can fix the issue for any of you beyond recommending flashing back to November and that involves following the flashing process. Alas there's no magic button other than waiting for next update in a few weeks time!

Anyone know anywhere I can walk in to and get a decent Pixel 6 Pro case in Dublin, Wicklow tomorrow. Ordered online and between phantom "In Stock" from online reseller, I want to get something before I use my phone which arrived 4 days ago.

My headphones arrived this morning wit An Post.
