    I noticed sudden signal drop/lost issue. It's present from beginning. Im in area with full signal and when I start making a call it takes very long time for 'nothing to happen' and when I check what's on display I see no signal and marked with !. Switching phone to airplane mode and back doesnt help. Only solution is to restart, enter pin and i'm back to full signal.

    It happened last monday. Googling solution lead me to switch preferred network mode to 4G. Everything was ok till yesterday when it happened again. Today I also had this problem.

    Any ideas what to do?

    Have you tried resetting network?

    Can you describe exactly what you mean by that.
    At the moment of signal drop, manual network search is not possible: it finds no networks. After reset, there is no problem with manual network search. More than 6 networks are found then.

    If you go to settings>system>network reset this reset mobile network but also wifi passwords and connected Bluetooth devices

    I'll do that next time when problem appears, but I doubt that this is actual solution to my problem.

    Does anyone else living in your house or area have similar issues with signal?

    No, it never happened at home. It always happens when im in area with good signal. It starts with full signal and me trying to make a call. Im waiting to get connection, but since nothing is happening except phone trying to connect, I hang up. At this moment signal drops to !. In this status going into flight mode and back doesnt help. Im stuck at no connection. If I disable automatic network search and try manual search it finds no networks. Problem is fixed by restarting phone or resetting all network connections (this also means I lose all stored bluetooth devices and wifi networks so I need to set them back up). It happens few times a week and is getting really anoyoing.

    At the start I didnt touch any settings so it was set to 5G (recommended), but since Slovenia isn't supported by Google it only connects to 4G. After initial connection issues I just locked it to 4G in settings.

    Turning adaptive connectivity didnt solve my problem. Today it repeated in exactly same scenario as before: I started calling someone, when no ringing signal appeared on phone I check screen what was happening. It still showed full signal but nothing went trough, so I hang up. After that signal dropped to 0 bars and instead of signal bar sign ! appeared. It makes me sad to say that I start to miss my old Galaxy S20+.

    It's always tricky if you use a phone that's not officially supported in your country, which is the case for the Pixel 7: https://support.google.com/store/answer/2462844?hl=en

    It may be worth asking your carrier for a replacement SIM, just in case that's the issue.

    Hey all of you who tried to help me out. I've been searching for solution to my problem and I noticed someone replying to users with same problem on youtube, to turn off power saver mode. After a week of absolutely no problems I can say, that this solved my problem. Since you're actively helping other users, please spread the word. Have a great week.


    Regards,

    It was late last night when I posted about solution to my problem. Here is setting that was causing signal loss when starting a call. After turning Adaptive Battery off it never happened again.

    Was it battery-saver mode or Adaptive Battery mode or both?

    It was adaptive battery!
    I was already thinking of returning phone, but while searching for solution or some other people with same problem, I ran into video on youtube and started reading commments about connectivity issue. One guy was quite persistently answering others to try turning off adaptive battery. Luckily it worked for me.

    I have a Pixel 7 Pro in Canada which is fully supported by carriers. There is a residential area 5 mins away from my house where my barber is located.

    For the last few weeks, every time I go to that area... My phone drops connectivity and nothing works. I also get a ! Sign after a little while.

    I took my work iPad with me, which is on the same network as my personal phone and it was working absolutely fine at the same time as the Pixel 7 Pro was not working at all.

    That clearly rules out the network issue which I thought all along was the issue. It's weird that Pixel 6 Pro never had this issue. But Pixel 6 Pro dropped connectivity in other parts of the city where the 7 Pro seems to be working just fine.

    I will try to turn off the adaptive battery and see if that resolves the issue.

    Needless to say, this will be the last Pixel phone I will ever buy. I'm so done with this company. I've been a loyal customer since the Pixel 2. I bought every single Pixel every year, except Pixel 5. But they've truly lost a loyal customer in me. As much as I loved the camera and design of the Pixel 6 Pro and now the Pixel 7 Pro...there are just too many little nuisances which shouldn't be happening to a company like Google.
