HIGHLIGHTS
- Wi-Fi difficulties have been reported by some Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users.
- Google has recognised the issue and is working on a remedy.
- According to the corporation, just a few consumers were impacted by the Wi-Fi problem.
Google recently reacted to a Reddit user who reported the continual shutting off of Wi-Fi on their Pixel 6 device on February 8. The user had noticed that the disconnection appeared to happen when the smartphone was asleep, and that it would have to be manually reconnected. The user then updated the article to report that they had not encountered the issue despite using Android 12L Beta 3 for more than ten days.
"After some study, we discovered the underlying cause and discovered that it affects a relatively tiny number of devices." Of course, we recognise this is a negative experience and have developed a software remedy that will be available in the next Google Pixel Update, which will be released in March," the firm noted. Users who are afflicted by the bug will, however, have to wait until next month to obtain a remedy.
The Wi-Fi flaw, discovered earlier in February, now affects select Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro owners, where the Wi-Fi is immediately switched off when the screen is turned off, and some users are unable to re-enable Wi-Fi access. Users had turned to the community forums to complain about the malfunctioning Wi-Fi capabilities, and they had tried remedies such as removing adaptive connections, resetting network settings, and even resetting their cellphones.
In late December, the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were also reportedly plagued by camera and navigation errors, as well as a fault that caused the smartphone to lose mobile network connections. After complaints of call dropouts surfaced, the December 2021 upgrade for the smartphone was halted, and the firm issued a statement recognising the issue and alerting consumers that a software update in January would address the issue and offer new capabilities to the business's cellphones.
