Had similar problems with my P6P. There are multiple areas in my town where I show full / nearly full bars, but my service is terrible or non-existent (!). If I toggle Airplane Mode, I’ll get great speeds until it drops out again. Sometimes this is 30 seconds, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes hours/days. But at some point it will drop out again. Ugh…

Honestly, i turned off 5g and have been very happy with the results
4G
5g
The screenshot cut off my top bar, but i have almost no “bars” on 5g almost ever. And very unreliable connection
Same I turned 5G off, it’s a marginal speed boost but my actual signal strength is shit.
Saves Battery too
Yeah unfortunately this is the Pixel life lol. But you don’t really notice a difference
That’d be your carrier being bad, not the Pixel. You could be right next to the tower, but depending on congestion and your plan you could be limited. You’re driving a car that can go fast, but getting stuck in traffic.
Yeah, no.
My wife has a Pixel 8, I have a Pixel 6 Pro, and my daughter has a Motorola Moto G 5G, all on Google Fi and I am the only one having this issue. We can all be in the same place and suddenly my phone gets a ‘!’ by the signal. This never happens to their phones.
I think the pixel 6 pro had a shitty 5g modem. I’m using one on a verizon mvno and it works fine but definitely has a shitty signal compared to my iPhone.
If you’re not paying for T-Mobile magenta you’re not getting full T-Mobile priority speeds.
I’ve had that problem too. And way too much congestion in an industrial area during lunch and breaks.
So I went to another carrier.
Try resetting your network settings, it fixed connectivity issues I was having with my Pixel 6 Pro.
Settings -> System -> Reset options -> Reset Mobile Network Settings
Google has been using a bad modem ever since the Pixel 6, resulting in poor cellular connectivity. Although given how strong the connection looks, this is likely at least partially due to congestion on T-Mobile’s network as well.
