Hi Guys,
I`ve started to observe odd connectivity behavior with my Pixel 6 after March 2023 update.
The issue is that at some point (I don`t know if anything or what triggers it) my WIFI status bar icon gets an exclamaition mark (!) next to it and is dropping internet connectivity to 4G mobile data only (WIFI icon dissapears completely). Then, seconds after that, my 4G status bar icon gets an exclamation mark too and WIFI icon shows up again and the cycle continues.
Only solution I`ve found so far is that the phone reboot fixes it for some time. It appears that this latest update messed my phone modem module.
Does anyone of you noticed something similar?

I had the same experience, i thought maybe the signals have become spotty in my area. I mainly use data so i experienced that on 4g only. It is usually fixed after i switch on & off airplane mode.
There seems to be a few things that this update is messing with and it's weird because not everyone is experiencing the same thing. I have the 6 pro and adaptive charging seems to be broken along with wireless charging well at least from my pixel stand. And my battery life is noticably much worse. But my wife's pixel 6 does not seem to have any of these issues at all. Including the one you just mentioned. It looks like they had a problem with some of the features in the feature drop. If that's the case I would much rather have battery stability and reception stability than get these new features that are not crucial to the everyday experience. But Google does what Google wants and each and every. Pixel user is basically a beta tester even if not. In the beta program. They just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks
Same experience. The exclamation marks where there before the march update, but have gotten way more frequent since ..
Are you guys using Blokada 4 by any chance?

Hi all,
I'm experciencing a weird problem since my Samsung Note 4 received the october security update. The wifi picto keeps blinking, going from grey to light green to full green and back to grey (all the time). in the wifi-settings, the wifi toggle keeps going left-right and looking for networks when turning to the right (on). This causes battery usage... I sent my phone in for repair, they replaced it with a new motherboard, but no luck. If I do a factory reset, no problems, but after restoring apps and accounts and installing the security update, the problem reoccurs... Someone experiencing the same problem ? It's a coincidence or not, my mothers Samsung S5 is having the same problem since the update, but even worse, she can't even connect trough wifi sometimes...
problem solved. Google activated "scan wifi even when location is off" with the update. That gives apps permission to scan for wifi-networks even with location turned off... All the info from users they can get, they'll get it !
Hello
Each time when I back from custom rom to MIUI Global Version I have two problems:
1. Line defect on the bottom of screen. It appears randomly, not each time.
2. Usually I have set that data connection turn off after 5 minuts of screen off. Later when screen is on data connection should return. Problem is that often it is not turn on again fast. Sometimes it takes one minute, or I should press data button to activate it.
Both problems are on all type of MIUI (dev, stable, even xiaomi.eu). So I thought it is some problem with hardware, but on custom roms everything is ok. Does anyone have idea what could happen and how to fix it ?
Here's the picure of line defect:

That bottom line thing in the status bar has been there for a long time. It appears after a reboot and disappears after some time, so not much of an issue.
But yeah, mobile data seems to be seriously messed up in MIUI now. Sometimes it just doesn't turn on, and I've toggle airplane mode a few times to get it work. Internet browsing speeds that I'm getting are terrible, more so when using WiFi. When downloading some large file or so, the speed picks up and seems to be ok, but browsing is terribly slow. Also, even though 4G signal strength is very good in my area, it sometimes unnecessarily jumps back to 3G in MIUI.
Custom ROMs don't seem to have these problems and data is fine. So, it's not related to firmware I guess.
Hi guys!
I experience some problems with the GPS on my Nokia phone with Oreo 8.1. This is how it looks like in the GPS Test app:
https://img1.picload.org/image/dlori...803-201912.png
I tried the following
- turned off the 4G
- also turned on/off the WiFi
- tried changing the location mode from high accuracy to device only
- cleared the AGPS - again no signal, then updated the AGPS, same thing
- restarted the phone
- turned off the phone, waited for a while, turned it on again
- removed the SIM card, waited for a while, put it in again
Google maps finds my location, also Runtastic but it says that GPS signal is weak and tracking will not work. So something is obviously wrong here. This happened before as well, then the GPS worked perfectly for about a week, now I have the problem again.
Can anybody please help? Thanks!
Hi again,
So the GPS started working again yesterday for a while. It behaved perfectly with no issues and accuracy of 1 meter. Then when I started the app later, it could not get a fix again... Today it is working (for now). I even tested it home in a room and it has 21 satellites in view, 11 in use, with 3 meters accuracy. For comparison my other phone can only see 17 and uses 5.
So when the GPS decides to turn on, it works perfectly. But it also often happens that it cannot fix. Would you guys say that this is a hardware or software error? If it is the software I would be willing to wait for an update. If it is a hardware problem I still have 4 days left to return the phone, so please let me know. Thanks!
Did you ever find a fix?
All three of my stinking Androids are having this issue since updating to Oreo and Pie. I drive hours a day and NEVER had this issue until I updated and it started occurring right after the update. I even bought a brand new Pixel XL an it's doing the same thing.
Hi All I have the Mate 20 Pro and absolutely loving it apart from the below problem.
WiFi keeps dropping out. It's definitely nothing to do with the wireless router as all other devices working perfectly and my previous SAMSUNG S7 never had any issues they only started when I got this new phone.
Unfortunately its causing serious issues for me as I can't get data connection downstairs and rely on WiFi.
I've read others have problems and apparently Hawai cut corners with the WiFi and put a poor quality device inside?
Is there anything that can be done or is this definitely a hardware problem and something I just have to live with I. E. Not being able to use it on WiFi?
It shows full bars on the WiFi status symbol top left but will connect one minute and the next minute can't even load a new page, Facebook comments, or will just pause and start spinning on a video.
Bump!! Same problems! My Galaxy S7 and S8 always worked flawless with notifications and internet connection switching between wifi and 4G. Mate 20 pro drops out. Now also remembering my old Ascend Mate 7 did the same. Huawei problem, but is there a solution?
I have tried various settings in the wireless and developer settings no luck. I cant seem to find the usual android settings to keep wifi on always...
Did you guys check under Settings/Battery/More battery Settings if "Stay connected when device sleeps" is ON?
Pretty stupid to hide it there (Samsung had it in the right place under WiFi settings) but whatever.
My Wifi NEVER disconnects at home or work and I DO get emails even if the app is set to pull every 30 min (so it wakes up properly and pulls data). Plus unlike my old S7Edge, WiFi reported power drain is always below 1%...so negligible.
I've noticed Youtube keeps losing connection when using Chromecast

That setting is on yes. Thanks for your reply
I'm having random connection drops on the latest EU build. I tried reflashing the ROM, installing akhilnarang's vendor, changing kernels buy still no solution.
The phone will work well but suddenly lose mobile data (4G) connection for a few seconds and then come back. I noticed the VoLTE icon also disappears with it and then comes back but the network signal lines (on the status bar) show full signal the whole time.
Also, I'll suddenly drop a call sometimes and this is accompanied by the network signal lines disappearing (implying loss of network signal) and then coming back in a few seconds.
I have a very good signal from my carrier so that's not the problem. Also, the phone seems to work well for sometime (few hours) after a restart and then this "bug" comes back and I can't find any kind of solution to this.
This problem started to arise after I flashed the latest EU android Q build.
This bug is annoying and frustrating especially while playing online games.
Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Many problems after Android 10 update
I have the same problem after updating my smartphone to Android 10, with no solution !
While i'm using data connection, i don't receive all the notifications in time.
I'm facing another weird problem which is the phone does a fast reboot after that it freezes for some seconds.
Same Ish
