Verizon Pixel 6 Ultra Wideband indicator?

[Eric The Duke]

Does the Verizon Pixel 6/6 pro have a coverage indicator specifically for ultra wideband?

No Pixels currently support UW 5G. Regular 5G - yes. But not the new Ultra Wide Band.

Actually, I was getting VZW Ultrawide Band at the Orange County Airport last month. There was a "UW" next to the signal bars.

I think he's referring to the C-band part of UW band as it has been said that an update is needed to access those bands.

From what I have read, if a Verizon phone C-Band and the mmWave will display the same UW as the indicator.

Yes, they will show a U over the W after the 5G. It is true that they haven't rolled out the update for us Pixel users to get the C-band version yet, but the mmWave does work great as I was by the Arizona Cardinals stadium recently and the 5GUW showed on my status bar and speedtest was over 2,800 mb/sec. Absolutely ridiculous Verizon hasn't figured out how to "certify" the Pixel 6's for the C-band yet. They've have almost 5 months since release to get it done.

Nothing seems to work as well as it used to pre-pandemic... it seems like work doesn't seem to matter to a lot of folks anymore I guess they're focusing more on prepping for the end of times lol.

That reminds me I need to get that ammo order in tomorrow

I decided to start a conversation with Verizon on Facebook about the lack of C-band on the Pixel 6 and Pro. It was like talking to a wall. All they did was keep resounding that there was no problem and the 6 was compatible and I should be getting C-band and I must not be near a tower. At least 5 times I responded that I know it is compatible but you haven't certified it yet. They then repeated the same thing about it being compatible and working as designed and was there anything else I needed. Just sad that we know more than they do.

That has been my experience with Verizon for a long time (a lot of other tech support folks also). I always try to escalate to Tier 2 support if I can because I will have already tried all the basic fixes.
