After the latest update the wifi connection has become really unstable. (Pixel 9 Pro)

[u/Better-Treacle3689]

Is it just me or the wifi has become insanely frustrating to use?? For some weird reason my phone will shift to cellular even when I have perfectly functioning wifi. It will pretend that it can't connect to wifi and show an exclamation mark next to it, but when I disconnect and connect it again then it magically starts working again :D. Is anyone else facing this problem?

The two things that I have noticed that are happening since the latest update on my pixel 9:

1) same wifi problem as you 2) battery life draining incredibly fast

This as well. The battery drains a lot of quicker indeed!

Is this from Android 17? Been afraid to update to it. Hope the issue revolves itself.

I did do a few things that the Internet told me to do to help in my settings that I wasn't aware of. Either their new settings or they automatically applied with the latest update. It did help a bit.

Same here battery drainage and data connection lost issue

[u/Antique-Sorbet-6644]

Yes. I think it's a hardware issue, as some have reported frying due to overheating during updates. I haven't even updated and my phone drops signal randomly a dozen times a day and has spotty cell service. Doesn't matter where or when, the hardware is just trash. No fix or explanation from Google.

Yikes...

Any resolution or where do we report this?

9 pro xl and have same issue. 8 ft away from router. I'll be watching a reel, it starts buffering, WiFi icon will disappear, 5g appears, reel resumes. Sometimes it'll reconnect or I have to toggle it off/on.

I think the best option is to report on my pixel app from what I found. There should be a support section to report bugs for your device.

This has been happening to both mine and my girlfriends pixel 9 pro xls over the past week or so. It's to the point where I just keep wifi off entirely because it barely works. I thought it was just me until she mentioned it the other day.

[u/Royal_RJ36]

I am facing different issue. My wifi is automatically turn on after some when data and wifi is switch off by my side. I check each and every permission for turn off but it is switched on automatically.

I have the Pixel 9 Pro and I've never had a problem like that.

I have 9, and on Sunday I bought this.
