Over the last 24 hours or so, several users have taken to Reddit to say their phones are failing to connect in the internet in various ways.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear how or if these issues are actually related. We\u2019ve clocked three separate posts about connectivity problems from the past day: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1ujzhfg\/pixel_wifi_disconnecting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pixel 10 user<\/a> who says their phone keeps flip-flopping between Wi-Fi and mobile data; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/pixel_phones\/comments\/1ujsbpy\/pixel_10_internet_issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">another<\/a> who says they keep losing mobile data; and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1ujzhfg\/pixel_wifi_disconnecting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">7a owner<\/a> who was able to resolve their issue by resetting connectivity settings.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s responded, suggesting that affected users might be able to fix their connectivity problems by resetting their network settings. If you\u2019re having similar trouble, you can try that by going to Settings -&gt; System -&gt; Reset options -&gt; Reset Bluetooth &amp; Wi-Fi. That\u2019s what user Any_Day_1270 did, and it evidently solved their problems on Pixel 7a.<\/p>\n<p>Connectivity problems are hardly new for Pixel phones; it seems like something breaks for a significant portion of the user base every couple of months. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-update-broken-3635213\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">An update this past January<\/a> seemed especially gnarly, with more than half of 795 readers who responded to our survey about the update indicating it messed something up on their Pixels.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, a repair shop in Vancouver was able to get a Pixel 8\u2019s broken Bluetooth and Wi-Fi working again by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-8-resolder-wi-fi-3660283\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">swapping out the wireless module inside the phone<\/a>. It\u2019s interesting that, in at least one user\u2019s case, flaky wireless connectivity was down to faulty hardware \u2014 but that\u2019s probably not the issue for most people.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that online reports don\u2019t necessarily reflect the average user experience \u2014 anecdotally, I\u2019ve never had any connectivity issues on Pixel phones, and I\u2019ve used a bunch of them. Still, something is happening to all the users making these posts. Here\u2019s hoping Google ironed it out in time for the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-11-performance-rumors-3664645\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pixel 11 series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
