It appears to have affected a number of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 8a and Pixel 6a.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of this particular bug, at least, there appears to be a fairly simple solution. One Pixel user claims to have fixed the problem by going into repair mode (Settings  System  Repair mode) and restarting their phone.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned at the outset, this followed on from reports of an issue that seems to cut Wi-Fi connectivity within certain apps \u2013\u00a0including Google\u2019s own.<\/p>\n<p>Google is expected to roll out its first major Android 17 update in September, which will supply the first quarterly Pixel Drop.
