Question Pixel 7 pro is good in phone reception?

[failax]

Hello, I have pixel 7 pro and I'm experiencing difficulties in cell change, often when i put my phone in my pocket, and then I take it off i'm without signal for many seconds.
Anyone with the same problem?

Thanks

Same for me. After the march update is even worse. It take so long to gain back the signal and sometimes I need to reboot the phone or reset the network. Also after the latest update after the boot sometimes it takes 3-5 minutes to get the sim signal..

Now I'm using Vodafone IT. Yesterday I switched to the esim. I will keep the thread updated to see if the esim is better.

In addition to the above, in my case I also hear some strange noises at the beginning of the calls, a kind of "Crack" and sometimes the voice on the other end is choppy, but it is slight and allows me to speak well most of the time.

This does not happen all the time. I am tolerating it for the moment.

I'm experiencing worse reception since the March update. On Verizon.

Yesterday I had to reboot the phone to go from the exclamation mark to LTE.

I'm thinking about doing a wipe/fresh install, hoping that might help.

I ran into this issue with mine while talking with somebody, the phone connection would randomly drop the call... shocking Google hasn't released an update to resolve this issue - it helped forcing me back to a OnePlus 11 device.

Guys, I had this exact issue on my P7P. It was driving me crazy, constantly dropping coverage and taking ages to reconnect, I had both esim and physical sim. I messaged Google support and they said it was a software issue and to wait for a fix. But like most of you I bought this phone months ago so that's not good enough. I eventually got them to do a full replace of my phone under warranty and now I have no more issues. Get them replaced!

What do you mean for "costantly dropping converage", i have this issue sometimes when i put off the phone from my pocket, but i noticed that if i disable wifi when i'm outside, this happens no more.However I have to do more attempts ..

I mean I would take my phone out of my pocket and have two exclamation marks. Or I'd be driving and my music would stop and id have the two exclamation marks. I tried absolutely everything and even moved networks and it never improved. Replaced my phone and haven't had an issue since.

What is the best way to contact Google and get a warranty replacement?

I bought mine new from Amazon but I contacted Google directly. I think warranty is from Google so I would message them and see

Have you news?

Same here in Germany and Vodafone , since March update worse then before.

Since a full wipe and fresh install of the March update, my cell reception on Verizon has been better. Before that I was updating without wiping and my cell reception often gave me the !

I thought I'd add a comment. I'm on TMobile in Louisiana, USA. I believe reception is the best I've seen personally on pixel 7 pro. One of the things that surprised me most is in building where I work, usually no phone signal, but on this one I can surf the Internet,etc. One other thing to note is, I have a friend with a messed up cell phone, for the longest when you talk to him you can hear an echo. On this phone there is no echo when talking to him which is surprising. I thought he had got another phone but one time after disconnecting from my pixel buds or something similar I heard the echo, and asked him; did he get a new phone because I haven't heard the echo in a while. Come to find out he has the same phone and all I could think is that possibly this phone aka clear calling(which I could be mistaken) had literally cleared up the echo.

I live in the country and have never had any issues. 5G is disabled. It's not even available anywhere near where I live. I've never had 5G coverage as far as I know. So again, personally reception has been good. If you look here, on telegram, and on Reddit there are a lot of weird complaints about reception with this phone. My only complaint about it is battery life. Ever since the November update it's sucked. I get through a day easy, but I should be getting through 2 days without charging and still have 30% no problem.

A month ago I charged my phone while working in my shed. I unplugged the phone and left it in a metal enclosure shelf (bad reception). 18 hrs later I came out and the phone had 100% charge still. It is my work iphone XR that is 2 or 3 years old. I couldn't believe it. 0% idle drain in awful reception over 18hrs. The phone may have been connected to wifi, but still. Had I done that with the p7p the battery would have been at 70% due to Google's crappy software in Google plays eevices and/or hardware searching for signal and never stopping. If they wanna use crap hardware they need better software to control the frequency of signal searching to increase battery life. The balance they've chosen between maintaining good connection signal and maintaining battery life is way too far off balance in favor of maintaining good signal. It's ridiculous and is obvious

I don't have a source or poll to refer to, but I would have to guess that device battery life is a top 3 concern of anyone buying a new device.

My first p7p had really bad connectivity. Returned it under warranty and the new one has been perfect ever since
