I finally decided I should complain about the almost weekly, and getting worse, networking issues (a reboot fixes it, though nothing else will). After talking to Google, they suggested I send the device in for repairs. “Uh… ok. How many spare phones do YOU have?” “Let me see if there’s an alternative”.
So they sent me a replacement, putting a hold on my card so I send back mine. Sure. I can live with that.
New (refurbished, I’m pretty sure) phone arrived today. Spent the day reinstalling everything. The bank apps are the worst…
A little while ago, while watching a movie at home, I noticed the phone was constantly (like every few minutes) rebooting. Sigh.
Guess I’ll be calling Google again tomorrow. What a pain.
I have had a pixel 8 for a year and I never had any of the issues you describe. Hopefully you just had a lemon and the new one will work fine for you.
Several reboots on the first day is what I see too because the phone is updating itself to the latest version and patches.
Soon it will be stable.
It’s not updates. I took care of those myself. It’s fully up to date in all ways, just sitting there restarting.
