#News #Pixel6
Pixel 6 owners reporting Wi-Fi is broken on February update
Android Authority

Yesterday, Google has just released February 2022 update to all supported devices including the Pixel 6 at the same time. Welp, things aren't going well for the Pixel 6 series once again.

Earlier in last December, Google has borked Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro carrier network service and lastly reverted the December builds for the devices altogether. Now this time, they broke the devices' Wi-Fi connectivity. There are various reports from Reddit, Twitter and Pixel community, mentioning about the issue.

Users that faced the issue have tried all of the possible troubleshoot ways to fix the issue like toggling airplane mode, mobile hotspot, resetting network settings, restarting into safe mode, and even doing a factory reset doesn't help at all. Good news is that the issue isn't affecting every user out there, as mentioned by a few Redditors in the comment section.

Anyway, if you own a Pixel 6 and want to be on the safe side, it's better that you stayed on the January update for now.

▪️XDA
▪️Companion: Free | Premium
▪️Configuration: Free | Premium

Changelog:
• Update to latest google sources
• adblock hosts file updated

Notes:
• Read XDA thread for proper installation guide
• On latest update I was unable to patch the boot image manually with Magisk and boot it, got a reboot with that on Verity enabled device, ended up using a kernel manager to install with the installer zip instead.

#Pixel6 #A12L
Pixel 6 owners can now opt in for the Android 12L Beta program
Android Police

After months of waiting, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro owners can finally join the Android 12L Beta program.

Last month, Google has already released Beta 2, so it make sense for them to release Beta 3 this month, which will also be the last Android 12L beta build, as Google planned to release stable Android 12L build by Q1 2022.

If you own a Pixel 6 and would like to try out Android 12L early, you can head to Google's Android beta site and join the program, your device will soon receive the OTA update once it is available. By the way, it could be possibly released by today.

#Android #A12L

So, there were 166 voters after a day.

The majority of y'all use a Spigen phone case with over 31% votes and no screen protector (44 percent), although the plastic and hydrogel screen protectors were popular as well - no surprise here as they protect your device from scratches while not making the under display fingerprint scanner perform worse like the glass ones do.
A lot of people also use the official Pixel and generic cases which is nice to know.

Anyways, thanks for participating in the poll. Cool to see everyone's preferences, we might make more polls in the near future
