Problem detected. Random dropping of network quite frequently for me to notice it.

Google it and found quite a number of reported cases in USA ,Australia as well. So don't think it's a local telecom or starhub issue

Hope they resolve it soon with update.....any fellow user encounter this ?

Face unlock may be coming to the Google Pixel 6​

Face unlock may be available on the Google Pixel 6 in a future software update.

XDA developer Freak07 discovered hints of the feature in the Pixel 6's PowerHAL config file on 9 July. The face unlock feature is known internally as "Tuscany" and Google was believed to be fixing some issues related to its CPU resource utilisation.

While it remains unclear why Google decided to drop the feature at the last moment, the fact that it is still in the code indicates that face unlock may arrive in a future software update.

Nope. Mine is quite stable. Singtel gomo. The data was giving problem at first. Intermittent network loss. Then found out the apn should be hicard not e-ideas.
Unlike my xperia 1 iii which didn't make a difference. Since then everything has been fine.

The finger print sensor is very temperamental

Using some apps in particular Carousell seems to warm up the device pretty quickly.

Yup intermittent loss with a triangle! Than come back.

My finger print sensor ok .

Tried. Same....than switch back to 5G recommend.

I'm wondering if it's the starhub APN setting

[halocast]

hopefully by the time it comes to SG, the issues are solved

 

[kryptonit3]

It's like it is still lacking another stability update or 2.

With regards to the current reported issues,

The folks here who have gotten or are waiting for theirs are most likely prepared for it, why so?
-Pixel's historically since the nexus legacy era are always plagued with inflated month 1 and 2 issues
-more so than other brands
-as expectations are always higher vs any other android brand since

Apple is the maker of IOS, everything should be better integrated (& do take note that while fruity has been lacking creativity for the longest time, they are the perfectionist of the tech world)
So naturally,
Google is the maker of Android, everything should be better integrated! (users are much less forgiving)
Google has always been the explorer and tinkerer, not the perfectionist and
Most importantly and unfortunately, in comparison to Apple (which iPhones are arguably their top bread and butter),
pixel to Google is just a 'potential' revenue generating project and worst case, a pet project to collect more data
to train their machine learning

-most of the pixel owners are pretty much aware and can live with the above
-and yes, the potential is there for pixel to be the 'iphones' of tomorrow (this is the exciting unknown that all technologist or gadgeteers looks forward to)
-provided that Google is willing to burn $ to innovate and entice until they can make it
-Google is still money pitching (unfortunately) but at least
-generation 6 is a huge step forward since pixel is really offering (mostly) premium grade hardware (to compliment the supposedly better software) by now

Personally, I owned a lot of flagship phones (since galaxy s2 era which Android finally speeds up) and
am itching to own but never hop onto the pixel bandwagon because previous gens' pixels
are so expensive with arguably mid range specs while the challenger (at that point), Huawei, was so creative and price competitive making past pixels so arrogant and 'off the mark'.
Just look at the likes of Mi11ultra and Vivo X70 Pro+ (these phones are quite the threat if you truly uses them without the old-timer-mental-block of china brands = lesser brands. Vivo X70Pro+ is very impressive on the camera side of things).
Now, Pixel's generation 6 stands a chance to compete and build confidence!

btw, I switched mine to black with BAB and am expecting it on Monday (fingers crossed once again)

I

It looks like an iphone lol

 

[mrchowking]

For me it is pretty ok the overall quality and performance of the phone.

Just to clarify

You can order from google USA store DIRECT and send to CGW or any other forwarder successfully if you keep trying?

And it was mentioned the go around is to use a VPN, and there are free ones there and to use a debit card instead of a credit card? Or use the youtrip card?

Thank you.
