Pixel 4 XL wifi frequent disconnects - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

Are there settings which make wifi switch off and force cell? I continually have to turn off wifi and back on.

Same here. Tried rebooting the router, still have wifi issues.

Anyone else having major issues with wi-fi connectivity?

Just purchased the Atrix HD yesterday and when standing only 10 feet away from my router it constantly connects and disconnects. So far this has been the only issue for me. Any hacks yet for better wi-fi strength?

i dont know if its called att wifi app or att hotspot app but i disabled att hotspot app and after that i never had any problem with wifi!! there is a Starbucks real close to my house and they have att hotspot so when ever i drive around it would connect to att hotspot and i would have hard time connecting to my home wifi!! just go to your apps option inside settings find att hotspot and disable it since you cannot uninstall this app!! it might help!!:good:

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.
Try doing factory reset....

Factory reset performed.. issue still exists. Maybe my 2nd AHD will be better.

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.

Hmm. Switching wifi frequency from auto to 2.4 only seems to have fixed it.

I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.

I wasn't having any issues last night after switching to 2.4 only. But when I woke up it was disconnected and wouldn't connect again til I was right by the router. Hopefully a software update fixes this issue.

I had this problem with the Atrix 2. Resetting my router solved the problem.

Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.
Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.
I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.

I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.

Connectivity issues like the gs4

Anyone having issues keeping LTE or a wifi signal? I had this on my gs4 and it infuriated me. Happening Again On The note. I didn't have the issue with the HTC one or note 2.
Using wifi analyzer the wifi signal looks good. Idk why it's being so slow and unstable. Newer linksys n router.

yeah i think im having same issues where my wifi tends to disconnect then reconnect.

Yup. I turned off the setting where it turns off wifi completely if the signal is unstable. Kept doing it while using my chromecast so it disconnected from it. None of my other devices have an issue

I turned off the wifi scanning and I got a message about my wifi signal being bad even though I'm 10 feet in a direct line to my router. I also cannot keep an LTE signal around my house, but my S4 manages to without issues. Turning on airplane mode will lock an LTE signal for about 2 minutes and it reverts back to 4G.

I turned that off as well. Having it off or on hasn't affected much it seems. I'm also very close to my router with nothing blocking. I don't get it, thought the plastic was supposed to improve connectivity?
Like I said, I've only had issues on this and the gs4. Girlfriend has a gs3 which doesn't have issues.

Maybe you just keep getting a lemon device? Mine seems to work fine and my S4 did too

Possibly. I read about others having these issues on the gs4. Obviously not everyone it would be my luck to keep getting lemons.

LTE
Yep, got mine yesterday (10.5) and it wont hold onto LTE. I can turn on and off Airplane mode and it will lock onto LTE immediately, but after about a minute, it drops back to 4G. NONE of my other phones did this (S3, S4, HTC 1, Optimus G Pro, Skyrocket, etc...)

7.0 wifi issues??

After official update to 7.0 from dp5 my n6 hates connecting to my router. My firestick, 2 HTC phones and Samsung galaxy tab connect just fine. Anyone having similar issues or is it a bug? It's driving me crazy, wait all this time for Google to get it ready and 2 days in it goes to s**t..

If it was the OTA from the preview, then you need a factory reset. All clean updates work nicely.

Mine works. Worked at once for setup, and since my work wifi worked too, and two more. Did you restart your rooter too?
Restarted router more times than I can count. Keep in mind the n6 is the only device in my house thats doing this. Worked yesterday, I am lost on this. I just got damn thing set back up and trying to avoid a factory reset again if possible.

I had trouble connecting to my router after an update quite a while ago. Forgetting the connection and reconnecting fixed it for me.

One of the first things I did. I had Xfinity out here today to check and it's all good, even upgraded modem. New connection and new modem didn't help.. it's not a major issue being it will pick up my neighbors open signal. Kinda glad I held off on Fi for now, screwed wifi wouldn't be good with that service

Is it on 5Ghz or 2Ghz? IIRC N6 can't connect to some certain channels on routers over 5Ghz unless you force your router to a N6 friendly channel.

It puts out in 2.4 and 5. I can choose which one I want and have tried both

I've also had luck by changing the password for the phone's connection on the router. If I remember right, I changed it, saved, changed it right back to what it was, and I could connect again.

You're welcome, and I'm glad it worked for you! Someone suggested that to me when I was having the same problem years ago. I don't remember specifically, but I think it was something to do with the phone's BT profile or ID changing enough that the router's security wouldn't recognize it as the same device. Changing the password and changing it back somehow reset everything and allowed it to connect as a new device.
can confirm, changing the "wireless network key" in the router was the only thing that worked, my device just refused to connect to wifi after I upgraded to 7.0, this shouldn't happen, there is a good number of people reporting this issue with the 5x and 6p it seems there's a problem with the drivers and returning to MM doesn't solve it

Data issues

Looking for some help. I have a 4xl from Google running on Sprint. If I leave a area that I was connected to WiFi in, I get stuck in 3g until I toggle airplane mode on and off. I've played with turning volte off, setting preferred data to LTE. Also went into developer options and enabled data to run while on WiFi.
I can't figure it out. I had this problem with my pixel 3 and ended up just switching back to my s9 because it was so annoying.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I'm on Sprint as well with my Pixel 4 XL and I've noticed this happen maybe once so far after 9 days of owning it. Not a deal breaker for me right now.

Yeah it's literally Everytime I leave WiFi. I called Google and they said it's because I don't have LTE coverage where I am but if I cycle airplane mode it kicks LTE in

I just walked outside my house to lose WiFi and got LTE immediately. Did you do the eSIM setup or have a physical SIM in your 4 XL? Don't know if it makes a difference but I have the eSIM in my unlocked 4 XL.

Yeah I've checked and I'm up to date. I am going to try to call Sprint later and see if they have any ideas. But it didn't get me anywhere when I had the pixel 3, so I don't they'll have a idea.

Yeah my pixel 2 was awesome, went about 2 months in the 3 and gave up. It wouldn't connect to my truck radio for some reason also.
I'm having issues with the 4 not auto playing on my radio and it's a head unit but I can deal with that

Google Assistant

Is anyone having issues after switching to the Pixel 4/XL Google Assistant doesn't talk to me when I ask her questions? Everything is turned on in settings but still nothing. Any ideas?
Okay it's when you're not holding the phone it talks. Anyway to force it to talk no matter what?
