I have an odd wifi issue. My verizon pixel xl with BL unlocked and rooted, running ElementalX has so odd wifi issues. My pixel xl's wifi will work fine at home or at my girlfriends place on her wifi but trying to use any free open wifi network such as at retail businesses it will connect but has no connection and lists connected with no internet. At these same places my unlocked Htc 10 works just fine off the same wifi with no issues at all.
Is anyone having problems using your pixel xl on open wifi networks that require no login or code ? Everything else on my phone works great just this wifi issue. It has done this at 3 different retail businesses which is all I have tried but my Htc 10 worked fine on all of them, all three.

I've been running a LeeDroid ROM on a rooted A8181 from Telus for a few months now. Sometime in the last week the WiFi hotspot stopped working. All devices can still connect, but they're not given IP addresses. Laptops (Win/Mac), iPods etc.. Same thing on another very similarly configured Desire... no Internet access thru the hopspot. This worked as recently as Jan 8.
Can anyone with a Desire on Telus confirm that their phone can still be used as a WiFi Hotspot? I'm in eastern Canada...
Thanks
HI,
Just unlocked, rooted and flashed latest LeeDriod today on my Telus Desire. Turned on wifi hotspot and used WPA. My macbook was able to connect to the wifi hotspot and able to go out on the internet.

Thanks. Just wiped everything and flashed the lastest ROM and it's working again. Weird... I installed just a few apps between the time it was working to when it wasn't. Some of those same apps were installed on the other phone too, so one of those were most likely the culprit. I don't want to guess here which one tho.
My Pixel XL lately has had issues connecting to some wifi networks. On a few networks, it connects perfectly fine, but on many, it saves the network instead of connecting. I have tried connecting on other phones, computers, etc, and they all do so just fine. I have also tried resetting the networks, changing the passwords, and moving extremely close to the router but to no avail.
This is frustrating as even my home's wifi network is one of the ones having issues. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I have spoken to Google and they wanted to submit it as a warranty claim, but cannot since my back glass is cracked.
I just had a similar issue, my phone took at lest 10 minutes before it got past obtaining IP, my wife's android phone connected straight in, it was very frustrating because I was travelling and had run out of data on my roaming.
Another issue I have found it is common that it doesn't connect to my home and work wifi networks straight away and it's not until I unlock my phone that it does connect or in some instances I have to manually connect to it again.

What version of Android are you on?
What band are you trying to connect to?
have you tried statically assigning an IP?

7.1.2 (Have tried stock and multiple different roms)
I have tried 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Routers which automatically choose the band, and also manually setting the band (I tried 153)
I have tried assigning static IP with same result.
EDIT: I have also attempted connecting in safe mode, same result.
What do the logs on your router say about the connection?
Hi verizon pixel xl owners
Why the heck did verizon pixel xl December 5th update mess up my WiFi , now my WiFi on phone won't stay connected to the WiFi router and anybody else wifi, and is there any patch coming or any fixes for this, I even reset my network settings and no luck with this problem but 4G works fine but WiFi is f#*d up. My other Android devices or pc have no problem.
Please confirm if you have the same problem.
Thank you
Fixed the problem by hard reset. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Mine did that as well when I upgraded to 8.1
I fixed it by giving a static IP.
So I just updated my phone to the last (March 5th, 2018) update of Andriod 8.1 and now the wifi hotspot is no longer working. I can enable the hotspot, and devices can connect to the hotspot, but there's no internet access. My phone is unlocked but unrooted and I am absolutely sure that my plan supports tethering (double checked). This seems to be a bug in the new 8.1 update that came out about 5 months ago. Has anyone found a workaround or a fix to this problem?
Thanks for reading, I know a lot of people are having this problem and I'm hoping we can find a solution.
Had same exact issue on the Google Pixel XL (unlocked). Had just recently changed carriers to VZW. Long story short the last thing I tried was to delete the VZW APN, reboot phone, try hotspot once again an poof my hotspot connected devices had internet connection. Only real APN change I noticed was additional "bearers". It still working fine.
Is wifi calling working for anyone on pro or regular P6? For myself, and quite a few others in some reddit threads it is not.
I've checked all my settings, and they all appear to be correct. But when I try to make a wifi call, I keep getting told that the network is not available. I'm able to browse the net over wifi on the phone w/out any problems. I'm also able to use google voice to make a call over wifi, but not the regular phone app.
I'm on GoogleFI with the FI variant of the phone -- have contacted support and was told the issue has been escalated. Has anyone run into a similar issue on the P6/P and found any fixes?
I got an unlocked pro and wifi calling is working for me on AT&T
WiFi calling working on Verizon with unlocked Pro for me.
Guess I should make this more specific -- I have the FI variant, on GoogleFI. It appears that everyone else who is also having this issue is also on FI
Wifi calling works great on TMobile with unlocked Google variant.
I'm on Google Fi, bought mine unlocked from Google Store. I have one spam call answered by Call Screen on WiFi.
EDIT: Just placed a call to a movie theater and it used WiFi.
Guess I'll pickup a normal unlocked one from BB and see if that works any better. Have basically 0 reception at home, so wifi calling is a must.
6 & 6 Pro both working with Wi-Fi Calling here (UK BT Mobile)
Sounds like an issue with Google fi.
Working flawlessly here on ee-gb
6 & 6p WiFi calling fully functional (UK EE)
Unlocked 6P on Verizon Wifi calling 100% fine.
No issues with WiFi calling for me on the Google Fi on P6P.
It works for me but not on every wifi network. When I'm at home I never see the wifi calling in the top left but when I'm at work I see wifi calling in the top left.
