Pixel - Signal dropping (Update: Google Knows)

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

Apparently it's 20 a month not 15.

Beware of carrier trade-in offers. The trade-in value will be assessed by the carrier, and it's almost always substantially lower than the phone's value if you sold it yourself. Also, watch out for carriers quoting the cost for the phone on a monthly basis, while "forgetting" to quote what you will pay for the line access fee, and/or your data plan. You need all three figures to come up with the total monthly cost, and this will not include the monthly taxes and fees, which they will not be able to quote.

My signal is still dropping, just FYI.

Are you in Canada? Did you get the update? Or are you trying to get the thread back on track?

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.

You have to do what's good for you. I traded out for an LG V20 and I'm happier with it than I was with the Pixel XL. I couldn't stay with the connectivity issues and I forgot how boring stock Android is.

I care a great deal. I wish the issue were solved. I don't own a Pixel XL but I would like it to at least be an option. I'm also disturbed that some say signal strength is lower than other phones even when signal is present and not dropping.

Yeah the dropping signal is what's putting me off as well. But if I was forced to stay on stock Android I'd not be using Android at all. Lol. Stock Android keeps me interested for all of ten minutes, if that long maybe, before I'm customizing the hell out of it.

USA . . . and, yes, trying to go back to Pixel signal drop . . . .

I like stock android. The more stuff you add to it, more chances of issues occurring. Just me personally. If I didn't like stock Android I would probably be using another phone

$360.00

Online it says $20 a months for 24 months. Is it cheaper in the store?

If you are going with Verizon, I posted the breakdown and stipulations in another posting on the forums. It breaks everything down for Verizon

Ok I just got the Pixel. Took it out all over and signal and lte service was terrific. Call quality was superb as well. I'm with Selectel which uses Verizon's network. I don't have the recent update yet either. So perhaps it has more to do with your location. As my Pixel performed excellently in my tests today.

 

[DJM626]

You are probably one of the lucky ones that are not going to encounter any issues with yours as some of us as you know. My last phone that I retired in favor of a pixel was a 4 yr old Blackberry Z10 which gave me 4 bars of LTE and zero dropped calls on Verizon.

I'd find it pretty hard to comprehend that something with 4 yr old technology is going to perform way better then something with brand new technology and specs and have zero issues staying connected to lite at twice the price I payed for my pixel none the less

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

No dropped calls on my Pixel on Verizon during first week of use. Have an iPhone 6s work issued on Verizon and dropped calls for about 2 weeks. Were told by our MDMs that the issue was resolved by Verizon. Never had it with my Pixel that I've noticed.

Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls?

The last few days, I have been able to leave advanced calling turned on. And have had only one dropped call. I test call the Plantronics phone number with the recording, 30 times a day. Few days ago it would drop every other call if advanced calling was turned on. Now, in three days, out of 90 calls total, only one has dropped. My signal is more stable with the signal bar, and the LTE Discovery app. I don't know if it's just the leaves are off the trees, or Verizon has changed something. Anyone else noticed a change?

All systems go I on my Pixel

4G LTE still dropping pretty normally or as its been since I got it. No real change here on this end. If I pick up the phone I get it sometimes, setting it down produces different results such as zero bars. Come on Monday!!!

Have you tried an Factory reset. Sometimes that fixes LTE issues. I had to do an Factory reset with my old Galaxy Nexus. It fixed my issue also if you have Verizon apps on your phone remove the Verizon caller ID.

That's funny you said that. I did do a factory reset just before it semi stabilized. I did do one early on that didn't help.
