Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

My wife had the issue on her Pixel, but my Pixel XL has been working fine. She tried enabling WiFi calling and that has seemed to work.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

I've now had 2 people say they have tried to call me and the calls aren't going through. I hope it is a fluke because I can't have that owning a business

Sounds like she had a bad signal that couldn't hold on. WiFi calling to the rescue! :).

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

I had the same problem and unfortunately just returned mine. I dropped calls where I never dropped them on my note 7, had a number of times where it wouldn't connect to the network and had issues with the phone freezing while answering call waiting. The phone signal was consistently lower than my wife's and co-workers phones on Verizon (about 5 dbm). I loved the form factor, speed and camera but the signal strength was a deal breaker for me.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

So I am currently in the testing stage on my ticket with Verizon. I have had dropped calls, or only one side can hear the other, then they hang up. DBMS are terrible. I downloaded signal check lite and even with the signal unchanged i have issues so I am not sure what's up. This time tomorrow I will see where it's at.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

See this is why I never buy any phone the second it comes out. I'm interested to see if anyone else is dropping calls. I've been with Verizon for years and never have any dropped calls.

Keeping an eye in this before I pull the trigger. Never drop calls on my Note5.

Being safe isn't a bad thing but remember -- you possibly don't live where they do. Your area may be great hence no dropped calls whereas others may get weaker signal in areas. That is why I wondered why Verizon scoffed at WiFi calling in the past but knew they would implement it since sometimes you just can't get a cell signal some places and WiFi may be available.

Reset your network settings and restart your phone.

When I first got mine calls wouldn't go through our connect either, but after doing the above everything works flawlessly

No dropped calls, Verizon. Wifi calling ok sometmes but not all the time so mostly don't use wifi calling.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

How did you get wifi calling to work and how do you know it's working? I can't get mine to work. Thanks.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?
