I recently bought a Pixel 6 Pro; after getting it all set up, I noticed that it frequently dropped the carrier signal even in strong signal-strength areas, sometimes requiring a reboot to get it back. Apparently the problem has been reported multiple times. Installing this package:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...211206_01_rc00-android-apk-download/download/
has apparently fixed the issue on my phone. This is a BETA version of the Dec. 2021 version of the Carrier Services app. Interestingly, this one fixes the issue, but updating to the Jan 2022 release version breaks it again.
Hope this helps anyone else with this problem!

Thanks for your input! I am also one of the users with frequent data connection drops EVEN AFTER January update.
Unfortunately for me, updating to this latest Carrier Services Beta (and clearing its cache etc.) doesn't fix anything for me.
In case someone is interested and can have a look, I have managed to capture modem logs at the exact time (hh:mm) when the network drop is happening - see more info here.

Make sure you properly forward those to Google as a bug report too.
Addendum:
After several days, I have found another issue. With the beta version of the Carrier Services app, the phone does NOT ever drop the provider's carrier if Wi-FI is not turned on. If I do turn it on, after some random time period, the phone drops the carrier signal again, and I am NOT able to make Wi-Fi calls. If anyone has a fix for this it would be appreciated. For now, I'm just not using my wireless network... :-(
'Apparently' is more precise than sometimes a fix works and sometimes it doesn't. Please retitle to maybe.

Both my data and WiFi have been acting very strange the past week. Both services will show me as connected but I will only get the upload arrow showing on each indicator and then sometimes the icons just go gray. It has been happening very often and I have changed both my ROM and kernel on clean installs and I still have the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Bump. Still have the problem.
Flashing back to stock should work

I started a thread here on a topic where my wifi and signal bars turn gray and the phone doesn't have data connectivity any more. sometimes this happens a dozen or more times a day and sometimes once or twice.
one response in that thread indicated that 4.2.2 made a positive impact on the problem.
I've been searching for a definite fix for this data/WiFi issue to no avail. I'm not entirely sure of when this issue began to occur but my phone (Toroplus) constantly loses WiFi signal. By losing signal I mean WiFi will turn off and on all by itself. And yes, WiFi sleep policy is set to stay on always. This issue alone made me go back to stock only to find the WiFi issue is present there too. I've also ruled out my router as the culprit. Im suspecting this is a Google issue. By the way, I talked to a sprint store employee who owned a galaxy nexus and after a few minutes of playing with his phone, which was completely stock and never rooted, I noticed his WiFi connection would turn off and on all by itself too. Any insight from anyone with knowledge to this would be appreciated.
Wi-Fi optimization off. If that does not fix it, I dunno.

Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't fix it. Are you not having this issue? What's your setup? What ROM do you use? I've basically used all of them and it never goes away. I'm thinking of going to the HTC One when it's released just in case it's a Samsung issue.
I have also experienced this problem, especially at work where the network uses some WPA Enterprise variant. I've digged through logcats and can't find the problem either. A few Google Code forum posts talk about a possible bug introduced by network adapter manufacturers, or wpa_supplicant configuration issues. Haven't found a workaround yet, so I had to go back to 4.1.2, which seems to be stable.

The more I read on this subject the more I come to realize this is not specific to a certain device. The only common denominator that jumps out at me is jellybean. Seems like the issue is with Google, not hardware. Sucks that such a basic feature is not reliable out of the box. At least now I can understand why my buddy calls Android "buggy". Hopefully this is fixed sometime in the near future.
Alright so this seems to be random. Some days its not an issue. Others its an every ten minute occurrence. Since I flashed to Us Unlocked, which keep in mind I had just received the phone so I had no real drive time prior to..., but My phone will appear fine. I see full 4G and full signal strength, but nothing will work. no calls, SMS fail immediately..... Once I reboot the phone, it will work fine and I will receive all the messages and such that I hadn't been getting. This may work for days, this may fail in 5 minutes. I have rebooted 5 times today and I have only been using it since 7:00am. I also have not seen or received ANY update at all after the initial update once I flashed.
Anyone else having these issues or similar?

It's a radio problem, I have the exact same problem on a US Unlocked HTC 10. In the mornings when leaving for work, as soon as wifi disconnets, I can't do anything because even though it shows signal, i won't be able to send/receive texts or anything until after I turn on/off airplane mode. It is really annoying and hopefully a firmware update will fix it, I'm still on the 1.80 one and I am not sure when the 1.90 will be available. Super annoying annoying because i can be on wifi not knowing my signal is lost, so sometimes I disconnect wifi on purpose to be sure I can receive texts/calls.
I suggest flashing back the TmoUS firmware. You can get a no-wipe version from here that includes TWRP 3.0.2-5
The fix will be released for HTC 10 US unlocked phones on August 15th ... That will include the August security patch as well.

Mine doesn't show that there is no service, the service just doesn't work. I hope the fix comes real soon and the last post was right about the 15th. In dire need now. LOL
Same issue here on T-Mobile. Leaving house on wifi it does it and doesn't when I leave my office on wifi. Definitely radio and looking forward to the 1.90 update.
Unlocked HTC 10 Update 8/15
Just an update and reminder... the latest update (including the August security patches) was approved and will be available tomorrow 8/15 (as we hoped for). Thanks for your patience.
Since I installed the first N OOS build i have issues withmy GPS,
every few seconds it lost the lock and needed a few seconds to reacquire it.
Also sometimes it does not acquire ay lock at all and need a reboot to work again.
As far as I can tell the issue happens with every android N based OxygenOS.
And also with Lineage OS 14.1
I tryed clean flashing booth and it did not change anything.
Now I flashed back to the last MM based community build and it works no lost of GPS signal, reasomably quick fix.
Does any other users also have GPS issues with N based roms on the OP3?
How can I solve the issue or at least find out whaty causing the issues?
Funny you mention this. I use my op3 for my topo maps when I hike and I have found N based roms to cause the gps to require a relocking. Also, the gps is noticeably less accurate.
Anyone got an explanation/solution?
good to herar that I'm not the only one with GPS issues.
Now the question is how to fix those?
I am also facing GPS issues since Oxygen OS 4.x.x, before that I never experienced any.
Sometimes it take 5 to 10 minutes until it finally fetches a GPS Signal but it is still very inaccurate then.
Hopefully the new OOS 4.0.3 update helps, but I doubt it since there is no mention of GPS in the release notes.
I also have this issue, the only resolution I had is to switch on WiFi scanning. After turning it on GPS has been a bit better and locks to the correct location quickly.

Ok I found out something new when I set mobile data to 2G GPS works great also on the 4.0.3 OOS ROM.
And since people complained since the start that some have issues with GPS and 4G I guess the issue really is that if some particular frequencies are used GPS suffers. Apparently something changes in N ROMs that makes the issues appear for more users.
Interestingly is that flashing Modem Firmware has no affect so the issue is in a part that is in the android kernel itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/gps-issues-t3416544
Every time I turn location on, I get the "improve location accuracy?" prompt. Every single time.
How can I stop this? Never had this before, usually goes away after one enable.
Another strange thing sometimes the GPS cant get a lock and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone.
the bew Open Beta 12 based on Android 7.1.1 seams to have resolved my GPS issue really strange
Hi - I also do have heavy problems with losses of GPS- signal at the OP3 since months. Especially while using LTE the GPS gets often lost. Since 5 weeks I am working/struggeling with the OP-support a lot - but no changes till now. @David: "Open Beta 12" has solved your problems?? what is this concrete?
i do have the problem...... from 4.0.2 updated to 4.1.1 and now Beta13, the problem still there~!!
On my phone gps signal gets lost always at the same location and when lte is active. On any other location gps works perfect. When i disable lte everything works perfect. This has happend on any rom. I think this is a hardware problem and can not be resolved. The only solution is disabling lte or using a different provider. I am using o2 in Germany, the problem does not happen with other Providers. Different Providers have different frequencies, this might be the difference between o2 and the other providers.
I do have O2-LTE too and it is "under suspicion" in Germany. But in February I was for 4 weeks in Florida and travelled a lot using navigation. The provider was AT&T - and I had very often losses of GPS-signal too.
I can confirm, that the problem happens with different ROM, but not at only one location - it happens everywhere.
But what can we do? OnePlus is working at this problem since months without a solution - and the customer with this bug really have to accept it "for zero"??
Hello @OPFan , did you get help from the support? Or could you resolve the problem?
3 months of contact - lots of bubbles - no solution
try downloading the "Gps Test "app then enable GPS and open the app and click on the 3 dots > AGPS > Clear and update

this was one of the thousands of tryings - but also with zero effect
I'm having a lot of GPS issues since I've been using OPO or OP3.
I sold my OPO because of the bad GPS. Now I have the OP3.
On both phones I used custom ROM Cyanogenmod.
I sometimes had bad GPS reception, but this was fixed under Cyanogenmod doing this: Disable GPS, Disable Data, Enable Airplane mode, Disable Airplane mode, Enable Data, Enable GPS, then wait for GPS reception and start navi app.
Last week I flashed my OP3 with another ROM (AOSP) but this only made it worse!
I use my phone as car navigation daily, and while navigating, it finds GPS and it loses GPS every 5 seconds (using WAZE app). It's incredibly annoying. Using AGPS or any other "fix" found online doesn't fix the problem.
When using another navigation app, like Google nav, it's works better (because Google also uses LTE). Clearing cache or unistalling and reinstalling the WAZE app doesn't fix the problem.
Conclusion:
It is totally not related to your provider because they are working on fixed standard frequencies and I've been using the same provider on both phones.
It's also not related to the hardware only, because it was working on my OP3 under Cyanogenmod. So it should be related to the hardware driver included in the ROM.
Maybe this gives anyone an idea?

I have also GPS issues. It works well in gmaps, but it is unusable in Waze.
I thought AOSPA was causing it so I cleanflashed latest OB, but GPS issues are present there too
I Just received the LS993ZV8 update , not sure where to look for a changelog. 775MB size (or thereabouts)

I received it as well. I noticed that we now have "Calling Plus" in the settings, which allows calling and data usage at the same time. I haven't had the chance to try it out, but I enabled it along with WiFi calling and I noticed my calls do seem clearer on both ends compared to before, and I would like to mention those calls were to other Sprint phone, like my wife. I was not able to find much else for changes. But I on the previous update "V7", we have face unlock which I don't remember seeing before. I may be wrong, but I do make an effort to attempt to find any changes after updates. I never found anything online about what the updates included since "V5" update. It would be nice to know what is in the updates other than "Enhancements". Kind of annoying. I also noticed my battery life is better, and it's not in my head...I would normally get around 4hrs of screen on time, but I'm currently at 5hr34m with 36% left, and that's with my typical day off usage.. So there's definitely more to the update then Calling Plus.
Wow, here's my Speedtest results after the update:

I can see and connect to 5ghz bands without any issues after the update.
Some one can zippet this update?
Anyone else have this update override your settings? I have my phone to only download updates via wifi and on charger. It killed my data with the download when hiking the woods near my house.
I had the beta option on for calls, i could hear my phone calls, but no one could hear me talk. I turned it off and everything was ok. Anyone notice this either?
Hi folks,
I just got my brand new Pixel 2 XL and have two issues and wanted to know if they were fixed in the official 8.1 OTA (not beta). I have touch issues on the screen at the margins of the screen in the left corner. I am also plagued by some Wifi connectivity issues where no data is flowing even though the reception is great. I am on 8.1 with January security patch. I am just not sure if those problems were already addressed in past updates or if they will be fixed in future updates. Need this information for potential RMA.
Thanks,
Marco
Touch issues have been fixed in 8.1 per many...

I'm also having some wifi issues if I'm using whatsapp.web and my phone is connected to my wifi and then locks itself, I sometimes get "phone is not connected to wifi" or sometimes I have to open my phone to get messages from other apps, like snapchat, kik, whatsapp.
Very strange.
