The user claims that the device tends to disconnect when they are away from their phone. Additionally, the user is having problems with sending and receiving text messages. Sometimes it will work and other times it will claim that the smartwatch is \u201cdisconnected from phone,\u201d despite the phone being on and charged.<\/p>\n<p>This user isn\u2019t the only one experiencing this bug. There are several users in the comments who claim they are also experiencing the same issues. The original poster says they can reconnect to LTE by restarting their Pixel Watch 4, but having to do that repeatedly is inconvenient. Meanwhile, another Pixel Watch 4 owner says they can reconnect to LTE by toggling airplane on and off.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear how widespread this bug is.
