Google releases April update for Pixel devices to fix LTE call and data issues
LTE call/data and network performance improvements provided in new software patch
Update addresses inconsistent mobile network connections since March
Google has released a second April update for several Pixel models to address network and connectivity issues. The update is aimed at fixing LTE call and data problems that have affected some users, leading to missed calls and text messages. The rollout began on Verizon's network but will expand to other regions and carriers in the coming weeks.
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro users have reported inconsistent mobile network connections since the March update. Google acknowledged these issues and released a revised April update to address them.
The new software patch provides performance improvements for LTE call/data and network issues. Affected users are encouraged to check for updates on their devices or manually sideload the OTA package if they haven't received it yet.
Google has not provided an official statement regarding the cause of these network issues, but some users suspect that they may be related to software bugs in the March update. The company is expected to release more information about the issue and its resolution as more details become available.
Pixel owners who have been experiencing network connectivity problems since the March update should install this new April update as soon as it becomes available on their devices. This will help ensure that they can receive calls and messages without interruption.
