Pixel - Signal dropping (Update: Google Knows)

Re: Signal dropping

Same here, it's really a problem. I don't want to return it but might just have to. Then what?

For real. Sigh

Re: Signal dropping

Did you guys migrate your sim from another device? Do you have Play store pixels or Verizon Pixels?

I have had no issues with dropped calls or LTE giving out on my Verizon pixel. I did not swap sims, i activated the one that came in the phone. I'm obviously not dismissing that theres an issue since there seems to be quite a few people with a problem, but maybe there's a pattern?

FYI.. I have a Verizon variant with sprint service. I have not had calls dropping.... I just changed my setting to LTE only because I need to drive to a few questionable areas today before deciding if I'm keeping this phone. (BB return window ends Monday)

I have an old SIM from previous devices. I'll try that I guess.

Where is this setting? #n00b

Settings... More... Cellular networks

I've noticed about twice today and a few times yesterday, my signal just completely drops out. An empty signal triangle. Then it will find a signal... I'm on Verizon. Has anyone else seen or had this issue?

It's happening on my S7 edge on Verizon. My pixel is on project fi, no issues.

I am on Verizon and tried the same thing. It does not fix the issue of dropping cellular connection on calls.

I just fail to believe this would not be a Verizon issue . I have three days left to make up my mind about keeping it or getting something else if someone doesn't address this pretty quickly

That's a tough decision. I'll be keeping mine, I'll try and stick it out. Plus I bought mine from someone on Craigslist

When anyone as well as myself need to use it as a "phone" yes it requires a signal.

I need my LTE! Fortunately I haven't run into this issue that some are reporting.

I have experienced dropped calls, I'm on my second Pixel XL. Second phone is know better than original Pixel XL, I think HTC has crappy antennas. Wish Google would have choose a better cell phone manufacturer.

Verizon installed the sim before sending it to me, brand new. Though I have seen that notificiation No Sim installed. It is installed. And it even occasionally works.

Just got a replacement from my local Verizon tonight and did not see the sim card error at all in the two hours I have had it. Maybe this is something positive. Test for me will be on my way to work tomorrow as I know the areas where I would go down to about 1 bar but on my way home from Verizon tonight the signal was pretty strong and constant so we will see. I'd really hate to dump this phone for something else because I am sure once the problem finally gets resolved it is going to be a kick !@# phone.

All the working Pixels in Verizon had full bars, but they were all on wi-fi I noticed

My pixel's been dropping calls more and more. I got a new sim yesterday and decided to factory reset it after i got the new sim put in. Unfortunately, this morning...dropped call. I called back into verizon and they said that I did all the troubleshooting. My replacement should arrive on Monday. Before I got the new SIM, i also reset the network settings.

Just read a number of entries on XDA and reddit Pixel forums and this is an issue on any number of phones across a lot of carriers. It is not a carrier issue. Someone who contacted Google said they are aware and said they were investigating and working on a fix.

 

[Jace18]

Hmm...should I cancel my replacment phone? The thing is there are some people who are having no issues..

 

[supreme8124]

I got a replacement phone three days ago, no difference at all. Still drop calls.

 

[DJM626]

That is because there is still an issue so what you have is probably a pixel from the early batches as it's been reported Google is still working on this issue so nothing has been done

I got a new one last night too. My sim card error is not present in this one but signal and 4g lite still no different at least this one recognized my sim card
