Google Pixel and Pixel XL Users Reporting Automatic Bluetooth Disconnection Issue

 By Unknown on February 23, 2017       

Google had a promising start to their own smartphones, Pixel and Pixel XL impressing everyone right from day one. However, it was from software side where several users of both the phones complained to have issues. 

That said, here comes another issue. From the last week or more than, 100's of Pixel and Pixel XL users are complaining about the issue of Reddit. 



Nevertheless, we believe that the security update of February might have broke something related to Bluetooth files, which is apparently causing this issue. The actual issue is the Bluetooth is turning off automatically without any signs, however, it can be turned on manually again, but that's annoying. 

An employee of Google on Reddit responded related to this issue and said that the company is on the fix. So, hope the gets fixed at the earliest.
