The next update will arrive in January 2022, with a fix to catch up with the mistakes of the December 2021 update.
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are great phones. The latest update, on the other hand, is not at all up to date. In fact, it is so badly ruined that Google had to make an exceptional decision. In a message published on December 30, the American company indicates that it has stopped the deployment of the December 2021 update.
Interruption and backtracking
The Mountain View firm even had to report the existence of a tool allowing those who have already received it to backtrack. ” If you received the December software update on the Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro and you are still having issues with mobile connectivity, you can roll back to the previous software version using the Android Flash tool. “
The tool should be handled with care: it restores the smartphone to its state when it left the factory, i.e. devoid of all data and with all basic settings, without any settings. If you have to go through this, you must make a prior backup so as not to lose anything. It all depends on whether the inconvenience is blocking or not.
The nature of the concerns lay in the quality and stability of the access to the telephone network: the calls could not be completed or be interrupted abruptly. Google does not count the number of people affected, but cases have been reported in Europe and France. For a smartphone, the inability to use its basic functionality is very annoying.
If you received the December update, but you do not notice a particular problem, it is still better not to try anything and to be patient: indeed, the problem at the origin of Google’s woes has been identified. and corrected. The patch will ship with the January 2022 update, which will arrive at the end of next month. The update will also include the December 2021 update.
