WTF. Going to flash previous factory image. Not impressed !!!
There is a bug opened here https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/210484323
I getting the same also it goes dead for like a few minutes every so often
3 times in like 45 minutes for me .. so is the best to roll back glad they have that website flash andriod web
Just spoke to Google chat agent and literally she had no clue. Asked if I contacted my sim provider to check if that's not them. Then suggested sending it under warranty oh dear.
Of course she has no clue.. she's the lowest person on the totem pole, trained to answer questions like "where does my SIM card go in?"
If people want to get Google's attention go to the link @pemz82 provided https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/210484323 and star the issue.
Has anyone figured out a common denominator? Build version, carrier, etc? Or is it just the luck of the draw?
iomma try flash back the old radio
Yeah something is major wrong here.. They need to fix this really fast.
For me this issue started 10 days before the update. all of a sudden I had drops and my screen off drain jumped from 0.4 to 1.5. this leads me to believe that the problem isn't on the update but rather on a play store package. I think this only happens to people with dual sim or maybe users that only use esim.
This issue is definately caused by the December update (or a part of it).
I received the update and instantly noticed that I no longer had signal while indoors at my home. My wife also had a Pixel 6 (on the same network both using a physical SIM) and has remained on the November build. Her signal has remained fine.
for me the same thing after the renovation in the buildings every now and then exclamation mark and no possibility of a phone call
For me it's noticeable better today. Had no signal at all at home and today is much better. At the moment in have 3/4bar

I just saw a potential fix posted on reddit (Credit: MissAnneThrowpe)

I'm not surprised. There is no reason for that to work seeing it's a Google network/radio issue not a sim manager app issue. I'm always leery trying those homemade fixes that someone tried out on a friends phone. Also I don't believe it's the December update since it was happening on the November update as well, at least for me. The Verizon update page doesn't even have the Dec patch listed. I wonder if any carrier has jumped on the bandwagon or they held off, which is why no one is getting an OTA on Vzw or Att from what I can tell.

It's definitely the December update. I'm the OP of the https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/210484323
Both me and my wife have Pixel 6, same operator. I stupidly sideloaded the A1 OTA (well you know, I have the flashing fever ), and after reboot I don't have network connectivity in the house (or I have low signal near the window). Even outside, sometimes I have no signal, while my wife's P6 on November patch has full signal most of the time.
No to be full of sh##, I decided to took a picture of both phones, side by side. Left one is mine, on dec update.

Any ideas? I have a Plain Jane rooted TB that has been stuck in 1X despite (in order):
- rebooting
- pulling battery
- restoring a known good saved ROM from ROM Manager
- toggling enable on RevA
- installing jcase's rooted 1.70.605 OTA and MR2 radio
- factory reset
I am in midtown Manhattan. I should have stellar 3G/4G. Is there anything left to do but return the phone to VZ?

You should check your settings and see if your mobile network is on(obvious answer and I feel like you have probably done that). Make sure you dont have any apps that are turning it off i.e. juicedefender or any other apps that control your mobile network. It could be the ROM you are using so try and use your stock ROM and see if you get 3G/4G in that. Make sure your SIM card is in properly. I do not know if that will be an issue but it could help. Also along with ROMs make sure the ROM you are using is friendly with the radio you are using. I can not think of much else. Google it too and search this forum or others that might help too! Good luck.
The simplest and most obvious possibility that still has to be asked: Do you have the back cover on the phone?

I had the same problem you did. I used Bamf 3.0 and flash the newest leak radio. My phone all of the sudden the next day dropped 3G. I went into the VZ store today and told them my sim card died and they gave me a new one. It working now, so I said unroot your phone like I did and get a new sim card. Make sure you update to their newest software before going into the store.
Seem like alot of people on the forum are saying they are not getting 3G/4G lately after the new radio that was out. I got my radio the day it was leak.

Thanks. But I had my problem before I flashed the new radio. I've been using the original plain jane root from back in March. It worked two nights ago, was stuck in 1X the next morning.
Since I now have the new OTA stock is there an easy way to get it out of root or should I just follow the sticky instructions and go all the way back to original ROM?
Instead of taking it in you could also just give them(verizon) a call. I know they can see if your phone is rooted from there and many verizon workers have theirs rooted and might be able to help you!
Yeah mine worked 2 days ago too but yesterday it died I was using bamf for a while now. I flashed the radio before that too, all of the sudden it just dropped. The guy at VZ store told me that never happened before that a sim card just die like that.

Thanks, but I spoke to VZ last night. The rep was nice and all but said the factory reset should fix the problem (it didn't) He said the next step would be to replace the phone. I might call again tonight to see if I can bump up the tech support ladder to someone more knowledgeable. Still hoping someone here could help me out.
Like I said, I had the original plain jane root that everyone did back in March when the phone came out. No reason for it to suddenly get stuck in 1X the other day.
Ive had that problem twice now. The first time my 4g antenna stopped working for whatever reason. I replaced the battery cover and it worked again for a few days. When it stopped again I called verizon and they sent me a new phone which is probably what youre gonna have to do.
So... VZ is next-day mailing me a new phone. I wanted to exchange it in the city but they said once you have the phone for more than 14 days exchanges have to be done by mail. Still, I'd love to know why the phone died.
I got imported Verizon Droid Pro and I live in Turkey. Also I bought the phone second hand (probably unlocked with some kind of software). I did some things on the day I bought it, even installed Gingerbread manually and rooted it. Most of the time I was unable to receive calls. So I decided to do a factory reset. After reset phone began to ask for activation number that may be taken from Verizon. I don't know if first owner did this. I some kind of "by-passed" activation screen by touching the corners etc. After that I put in my own AVEA sim card. Phone found 2 OTA updates and I installed them effortlessly.
Here is my question:
Its told that Gingerbread update is being sent to Droid Pros officially as OTA. The date 31 May seems to be the day it started. Although my phone got 2 updates at the beginning, none of them is for Gingerbread.
Its 28 September and my phone is still 2.2.1 (Froyo).
Am I wrong about expected updates, is my phone wrong about saying its up-to-date when system update is controlled or is it Verizon ?
I'm confused, please help me on this not found official Gingerbread update
Go here: http://www.androidtotal.com/manually-download-install-android-2.3.3-update-motorola-droid-pro/ . This should solve your problem.
I already did the exact same thing with same steps but I had severe in-call problems. Its been told around the web that Droid Pro is getting OTA Gingerbread update officially but why I don't have that since than ? Should every Droid Pro user do this manually, I guess no ?
This manual update is the EXACT update which would have come automatically. So this should work just as well as the automatic one since it's the same thing.
I just wonder why my Droid Pro does not find any updates since months although its available to some owners. I did that so-called update manually and it almost ruined my phone. I guess Verizon is editing a new update just for me

My sim card was not in while I did factory reset.
After it is completed I put in the SIM card and powered on the phone (I don't remember exactly if sim card was in or not), it asked me for the Verizon activation code.
I bypassed the screen with touching - upper left - upper right - down right - down left (some kind of witchcraft you see).
Just entered my SIM password and got full control of the phone. Its not rooted or so. Successfully received 2 OTA updates for Froyo.
After that moment Verizon got afraid of my skills and never bothered me
I think I will not manually install the update. Challange accepted, I will wait for it

Bump a little
Has anyone else said any trouble with the GPS? It seems that I have to restart my phone in order for it to work a lot of times. It will not pick up any satellites (GPS Status, for example, will show 0 out of 0,) and then once I restart the phone, it will work like normal. What can I do to make this work right without restarting? I have yet to root the phone. I am on the Sprint version.

You could probably try safemode / factory reset and see how the phone works.
I would suggest to go to Sprint and exchange the phone if it persists.

Also you want to calibrate your Compass. Or you will spin around and around if it does work after a reset. I tried using maps prior and the locks were roaming because of the missed calibration.

I finally made it to a tech store. I hate dealing with Sprint Customer Service. Before I went there, I did a hard reset, waited it out a week, used it without my case for a few days, did GPSCLRX, used GPS Status, all the combinations of location and sprint/qualcomm "optimizations" and still had the issue.
When I took it to the store, the guy was trying to do everything in his power to give the phone back. He was checking stuff that had no bearing on anything, like adding the gps button to quicksettings, and adding my city to the world clock list. "Well it's working now, so you should be good." Of course it's working. I told you five times that GPS is ok when the phone is restarted, but gets 0/0 sats a few hours later. "It's the magnet on the case" I tried it for a couple of days without the case, next. "What is that program you showed me with the satellites, it's probably intefering." Take it off. Hard reset the phone again, just don't erase my SD card (with that level of incompetence, I should have brought it to them freshly reset without the card.) After a few more guesses, he finally gave it to the repair person. I had brought my other phone so they could activate it so I could take care of other business and come back, but the guy kept on doing other stuff. I was ready to go full retard on him, but the repair person came out, took me outside with the phone, told me he concluded that even the gps radio at that point in time was not behaving correctly, and that his htc one max had the same issue before he traded it in for a note 3. I get to pick up a new max on Wednesday. Hopefully this one will be ok.
Cool, can't you guys contact htc service directly? But I would love a new proper phone instead of repaired one, which might develop other problems later.

HTC usually only does that if you buy it directly from them. As long as the phone is in the same or better condition than what I brought in (with the problems fixed, and rootable,) I'm good.
The new phone gets a nice GPS lock in my apartment. That hardly happened with any phone. If only it would pick up the LTE better, but I have to fault Sprint and my apartment, not HTC on that one.

Good to hear rock on!
Another twist
I have the Verizon flavor HTC One Max. Since day one, I have not been able to get decent GPS signal. Verizon has replaced my phone twice in less than a month. First one replaced the first day because the 3G radio didn't work. Second replaced because the GPS took forever to connect regardless of location or conditions. The third phone has the same GPS issue as the first two. No matter where I am, no matter how clear the skies with direct line of site, the phone cannot find a satellite to lock on. After a lot of research, I used the GPS Status app and used the Manage A-GPS State in tools to reset and then download GPS assistance data from the Internet. Nice try, but it did not make any difference. So on to the second set - I uninstalled Google Maps updates and then disabled it. (My phone is stock so I cannot uninstall it.) Suddenly, I CAN get GPS signal. In a couple minutes of turning on GPS, my phone finds satellites and knows where it is in the world. So for me, Google Maps had a conflict with HTC One Max's GPS ability. I don't know why, but this resolved the issue for me. Now if I could only have both Google Maps AND GPS. Suggestions welcome!
Update: Removing Google Maps worked for about 4 days, then I could no longer get GPS signal anywhere, anytime. Not sure what to do next. HTC is willing to attempt a repair, but they won't give me a loaner while they work on my phone. Not sure what I am going to do, but suggestions or advice are certainly welcome.
Update 2: April 7th I got the Android 4.4.2 update, and now the GPS works like it should. I can use Google maps with no problem - it also got an update that evening, which may or may not have helped resolve the issue/conflict. But now the phone GPS works and I no longer have a problem.
Hey everyone,
I've been delaying action on this but the OTA update got me into gear.
For the past few months i've been having an issue where my phone will drop from 4G to 3g, and a SIM icon with a ? will show up. Toggling airplane mode or restarting the phone fixes it. Because I wanted to dodge today's OTA, I went ahead and rooted via STUMP, but the issue is hard to reproduce (i have a screenshot). I always ensure that my network is set to LTE/CDMA instead of Global, but it almost feels like its auto-switching at some point (maybe when the signal drops)
Im thinking next step is to get a replacement SIM from VZW. My fear is that the SIM wont fix it, i'll need a hardware replacement, and the one they give me will have shipped with ioRoot/stump/bump patched.
Anyone have this issue and resolve it completely without a full replacement? If so, how? Ive tried a battery pull but that didnt help, ive never removed the SIM on this phone
Thanks!:laugh:
Happened to me before and I ended up getting a new SIM from VZW and then activating it and it didn't have an issue after that.

Just so you know, I was recently having some strange 4g to 3g drops (you can read by thread in this same Q&A section). They were under very different circumstances, but one thing that remained constant was not amount of resetting or reflashing other roms fixed them. After exhausting all other options and thinking I may have to try and get a new sim to see if that fixed things, I took a last ditch effort and used the .tot file and lg flash tool to fully wipe the device back to 100% out of box stock. After doing this my issues have vanished. I'm thinking something got seriously hosed in the radio somehow, and granted I never got any "?" notifications so it's a long shot at best, but something you may consider if all else fails!
If you have never pulled your SIM before, you might want to pull it and reseat it a few times, just to make it self-clean. Save a trip to Verizon, maybe.

So January update is here!
The wait is over! You might have heard about all the controversy that Google Pixel`s December update sparked, dropped phone calls, bad reception, tons of issues fixed and another tons of new issues introduced.
Well, the wait is over - Google promised to deliver a fix to the fix and here it is the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro January update!
Let`s see how well they did!
Mod edit: YT link removed
How does it work for you? Telephony fixed, i.e. call reception, call handover and etc?
Sadly I live in a "none Pixel supported" country, so no support from the operators resulting into no 5G, no Carrier Aggregation, even no LTE+ (only LTE) and sadly no VoLTE and VoWiFi.
Glad this update smoothed things out, coming from the s20 it definitely felt a lot less smooth but 90hz on the pixel 4 felt very close to s20 in terms of smoothness.
Now with January we're back to on par with pixel 4 in smoothness.
I never had any signal issues so can't speak on that.
Me neither but I did not travel that much since I got it... else the January update is really really really smooth it just makes me crazy that my S21 Ultra ... is so far behind - it`s buttery smooth as well but occasional stutters just ruin the experience.
I really like the Pixel 6 and hope that Google can fix it - some of my friends that travel complained from phone calls dropping, seems that it can not handover from cell to cell when you are driving on a highway and etc...
I live in a none pixel supported country, so no support from operators, no VoLTE, no VoWiFi, no 5g and even 4G+ its kinda of sad.

Fingerprint reader works better after update.
Right now my only complaint with my P6 is the fingerprint reader. Indoors it works great, outdoors (especially in cold weather) it's pretty hit and miss.

Same, it's drastically better than the December "update".
I don't know if it's due to the Jan update or me disabling 2G on my phone. I have 5G at my home with mid to full signal. I've never had that before, not even a 5G signal to begin with. Only when I drove away from home, I'd get some 5G.
also, my fingerprint reader stayed the same. It might have gotten worse since it's getting really cold/dry here. So bad that I just took off my screen protector and going naked for now.
cheers
Have 2 carriers on my P6 - "FREE MOBILE" works 4/5g with hard SIM card & "SFR France" works 4/5g and VoWifi with eSIM.
Before Jan. updt, had almost generic issues with FREE Mobile on receipt and sometime on call, no issues noticed on SFR on both ways.
After Jan. updt looks OK !!!! So far so good
@derausgewanderte I have also disabled 2G but didn't noticed effect
Funny, while everybody talked about the December update issues i didn't have any issues with it.
Now with the January update I'm having random reboots..
My phone is stock without any modifications, i think I'm going to do a factory reset this weekend and hopefully it will be fixed.
I'm with you. Have had zero issues until the January update. Freezes. Battery has been bad. YouTube is killing my battery. I don't use it. Have background data off. Battery to restricted. Force stop. Cleared cache/data and it is always the top of the battery consumption.
Looking at this thread in the community forums it looks like for some people there are problems even after january update.
Very poor or no signal - Google Pixel Community
It is interesting that there are people who had the problem and january update did not fix these, people which started having problems after january update and people whose problems were fixed after january update. Go figure what exactly google are doing with the modem but obviously it needs more work. I personally never got the december update and did not have any problems with november one. Now after january update i am also ok but on LTE only as 5G is locked in my country. I also have turned off adaptive connectivity and do not have volte or vowifi enabled (again locked in my country).
My Pixel 6 is fresh off the truck and the January update was job one, so I can't compare to earlier problems. 4G and 5G seem fine. The fingerprint reader is definitely half-baked. I managed to get one thumb enrolled after many tries. It's letting me in though, and that's what matters. Battery life seems good, not 5a good but good enough.
Still have occasional random spontanious reboots occasionaly ;(

In my experience it only lets me make a purchase under $100 without unlocking the phone. Otherwise it asks for the pin on the payment terminal. If the phone is unlocked, I can spent as much as I want without a pin on the card terminal. And this is how it's been for me the entire time I've used google pay, for about 2 years
