Pixel - Signal dropping (Update: Google Knows)

[matty032]

I really hope that when we finally get this update that the 4G lite connectivity issue is resolved. Otherwise I will be left with a raise to wake feature notifying me of a missed call that I will never be able to return

Amen.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

Just an update. I was on probably 6-7 calls at home this evening. None dropped with Advanced Calling turned off.

Thank you for the update ? This theory might prove this is definitely a software issue

Sorry for the ? In the above post

I would think so. If it was a crappy antenna or poorly designed SOC, it wouldn't hold a call with CDMA either.

I may have to take it back about the update released in Canada not fixing the LTE issue. For the one guy who said it didn't fix it, there are a few now saying the new version DID fix the LTE problems for them. But, that's Canada, well have to see if it helps here.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

Hey guys,

Please don't hammer me for this. As some of you may have known, since I have been posting here, that I have been trying to get the Pixel. Do to the reported LTE issues here in Argentina, I decided not to wait for a fix. I started looking fro an alternate flagship, that was around the same size. I did find a couple that I liked, however, when I researched to see if they would work on MOVISTAR AR, I found that they did not. So I decided to try the iPhone 7. I ordered it yesterday, and it is being delivered today to a friend, who is going to fly it down here. This will be my 3rd iPhone that I have owned, having owned the 4, the 5 and now the 7. Never owned an S. Anyhow, I have owned way more Android phones. I really, really wanted the Pixel, but with the reported problems from several users down here, not having LTE, I just could not make the purchase. Anyhow, I will continue to be on the forums, on and off.

It's personal choice Fernando! You had to do and go with what is best for you in the long run. Being fully aware of your situation I know I probably would have made the same decision. It's too risky to take a gamble and spend all of that money on something that may or may not work our for you and on something that may not have a permanent solution

Good luck with your new purchase

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

That would be awesome. Maybe part of the reason for us not having it here is because it might be carrier specific or their might be different builds of it and Google has to work this out with different carriers.

I know I was reading a forum yesterday with people in South America who had side loaded it and sadly complained that it did not work for them and how disappointed they were . A few people stated this theory about various builds for different networks . Just sucks as it looks like we have to wait a few more weeks for this, if this is the case

Exactly, I also was not willing to chance buying the phone, with no official fix from Google. I know, that users have been talking about fixes, however, that's too risky for me down here. Lets just hope the issue can be fixed through software, and the phone does not have to be recalled.

$360.00

For the Big one? XL? If so everyone who already has one got screwed

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

That's probably the contract price.

That's probably the contract price.

Device payment plan. To get the full discount you have to stay for 24 months though. If you leave you won't get the full amount back to discount it down. Basically the same thing all carriers now do. The "new" contract.

So to get out I cannot just pay $360 must pay $800?

I only paid $319 for mine. Two year contract price.

But then you pay an extra 20 a month for service right? I do not want to be stuck with any phone for 2 years.

The $400 is given to you over 24 months via bill credits.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

So I still have to pay 780 up front? I'm totally confused. Rep just said 15 a month no strings.

I don't pay anything, work does.

Is this irregardless of carrier? One have more issues than another?
