The Pixel 6 series devices from Google are the most popular phones from the search giant yet however, the devices have pretty been plagued with bugs pretty much from launch. And now, Pixel users are facing a new bug.
New reports have surfaced across Reddit and Google support forums with Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users complaining of issues faced with Wi-Fi. According to the reports, the Wi-Fi of the device is automatically being shut off while the phone is locked. In some cases, the users are not able to turn on the Wi-Fi altogether. Google support directed one user to reset the device which initially worked, however, the issue later returned.
The issues have reportedly arisen after the latest February update and do not affect every user, however, there are enough cases reported that make it clear that it isn’t a rare issue either.
Users have found temporary workarounds which include resetting network settings, disabling “Adaptive connections,” and removing a Wi-Fi network. These workarounds can buy you some time with your Wi-Fi which could range from a few minutes to a few hours, however, it is not a permanent fix.
Google has yet to officially acknowledge the issue, and it is now certain how long it will take the search giant to fix the problem. However, Google’s recent track record in fixing the recent Magic Eraser bug gives users hope for a quick fix.
