January Pixel Update Linked to Widespread Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth Failures

User reports across forums describe broken connectivity following the latest patch, with no public remedy from Google.

Overview

  • Owners of Pixel 8, 9 and 10 series devices report Wi‑Fi that won’t turn on or find networks and Bluetooth that refuses to toggle after installing the January update.
  • Troubleshooting such as rebooting, resetting networks, safe mode and even factory resets rarely resolves the problem according to user accounts.
  • A few users say reinstalling or sideloading the current public build restored connectivity, though the process requires technical steps and is not a general solution.
  • Outlets compiling Reddit, X and Google support forum posts describe the issue as widespread but not universal across supported Pixel models.
  • Google has not issued a confirmed fix, and support responses reported by users direct affected owners to contact assistance as the mid‑January phased rollout continues.
