Thanks. With my original Pixel, signal strength and speed reduce as distance or barriers increase roughly like I would expect. My 4a signal acts about the same, albeit around 10dbm less in the same spot. But the speed is more erratic, sometimes starting as good or even double up close, before...

Yes, good to hear. Mine's still not as good as my original no matter how i test or what I try and that might just be the way it is. Support had me turn on Wifi Verbose Logging and still suggests I do a factory reset which I'm hesitant to do.

I see your point. I'd love if someone else who has the same phones could compare theirs so I could conclude whether it's normal.

That makes perfect sense. Like I said, I don't really know that my reception is bad, just that it's worse than the original.

Download speeds are similar when I'm close to the router but differentiate more as I move away.

Yes, same Spigen Rugged Armor on both. Took them off, no change.

Upgraded my trusty OG Pixel to 4a. Mostly thrilled with improvements... except signal strength. I can confidently say that my Wifi strength and speed do not compare to my original Pixel. Google support suggests factory reset but I'm not quite ready after all the tweaking I did to get it the way...

Visual Voicemail fixed. It was Verizon programming but I had to reach top tier support to remedy. I neglected to mention that I am Verizon prepaid. I was told by the Verizon store and the first two support reps that it didn't matter as visual voicemail is provided to iphone and Pixel phones on...

I also found couple older messages on other forums that described this exact thing on Pixel with possible solutions but no fix. Thanks for help, I'll keep looking into some way to clear vm.

Yes, in the app drawer, the 3 dots bring up search option. No voicemail or visual, only link to a Google search. I'm thinking there's no access to it on this thing. Tech support was looking too.

That's searching in both settings and apps & notifications where i can choose an app and check for updates

Yup, but no results for voicemail or visual voicemail

Not finding any separate settings for voicemail and neither was support. When i open phone i have search at top but that is for contacts and locations. Voicemail does not return anything. In the phone menu I select settings and i get a list..."display options, sounds, quick responses, calls...

Meant "uninstalled updates"

There's no search bar in phone settings, only a list to choose what settings to change. The voicemail setting only has turn on or off. I just installed all updates to phone app but no change.
