Google Pixel owners claim that their mobile has had a very debilitating problem since the Android update of March 2024. Several models are affected, regardless of the telephone operator.
The comparison is very cliché, but it remains accurate: a smartphone is like a mini-computer. And like PCs, it regularly receives updates improving its system, correcting security vulnerabilities or adding features. Some are invisible to users, except that we still end up noticing them when they create bugs easily identifiable, them.
This is what is happening right now for many car owners. Pixel smartphones recent. More and more topics are opening on social networks to report a very annoying problem on a daily basis. It is all the more painful because it touches on two very basic, but essential functionsmobiles.
Since the March 2024 Android update, Pixel owners have a particularly annoying problem
Among the topics present on Reddit for example, that of Internet user ShadoutMapes87 perfectly sums up the situation: “my phone and my wife’s (both Pixel 7 Pro) send calls directly to voicemail and do not forward text messagesexcept once […]. I suddenly get a notification for four voicemails, meaning my phone didn’t ring, and text replies from more than 10 people/groups after a two to three hour period of I didn’t receive any text messages“. It therefore seems thatThese devices no longer receive the mobile network continuouslywhich makes it impossible to receiving calls or messages.
Other people are reporting the same problem, whether on Reddit or the official Google forums, and we can already identify some common points. The concern is present in several countries around the world and affects owners of Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro, regardless of their operator. THE calls, SMS where the RCS messages are affected. Finally, Linstallation of the Android update deployed in March 2024 seems to be the starting point for the findings.
At this stage, we do not know how it could have caused such a malfunction. There doesn’t seem to be any way to fix it for sure, so we hope that Google will react quickly, especially since the recent April update didn’t change anything.
