I just got my G6 and started getting this notification saying voice services and data services are blocked (see screenshot). Not sure if it's from WiFi calling or something else, but data and phone seem to work fine. Anyone know what may be causing this?
Try a different wifi network. It could be a firewall issue.

Reviving an older thread here....
I started getting these notifications a couple weeks ago on my AT&T H871, after about 10 months with the phone. They would sometimes pop up when I'm home where cell service is spotty. When I saw the notifications, I'd notice the "AT&T" label was not being shown and I had 1 bar of network, so I assume my phone had latched onto some non-AT&T tower at the time.
Those notifications were silent, so their biggest impact was just that the big triangle with exclamation mark would take a little attention. But then came Oreo, and they are no longer silent. Yesterday I was working in my yard and they were going off every few minutes.
I would be very happy if someone had some way to avoid this! I'm going to try disabling 2G to see if that makes any difference, but since these notifications can't be blocked, I am kind of stuck with them if I can't keep whatever is causing them from happening.
Edit: I just realized that the Oreo update must have changed my default notification sound away from "Silent", so by changing that back I can at least not hear the notifications.

Well as the title says, I've been having issues receiving texts messages on the $30 prepaid plan.
What happens:
-I will randomly not receive a text message, or I will receive it days later(if I turn my phone on after being off all night), or I will receive a message that is one half the current message and one half an old message from days/weeks ago(the are intertwined).
-It happens complete sporadically, no rhyme or reason. It happens at my apartment, while I'm sitting at work, or at the gym. At my lowest signal level I will have 2 bar remaining of "3g" but it's usually around 3 (I'm in Pittsburgh).
What I've tried so far to fix it:
-I had T-mobile swap out for a new sim card.
-I've contacted T-mobile customer service twice. They've "refreshed" my connection to their network, reset my sim, played with my account, etc.
-I'm using Chomp SMS as my messaging app. The issues also occurred when using the stock messaging app.
-I've cleared the cache for both apps.
What I haven't tried and what you may need to know:
-I haven't played with the APN settings all. As far as I know all of those settings are set straight from/by T-mobile.
-I'm not rooted
-I've had this problem intermittently since buying the nexus4 from google in Nov.
-My original nexus 4(which I RMA'ed) also had the problem- looking back I just thought it was the other persons phone. Which makes me believe it's on T-mobiles end, or at least a tweak in an APN setting?
-Zero issues with call clarity, data speeds. All have been perfectly fine.
-It doesn't seem to matter which carrier the person who is sending me the message is on.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone else experienced similar issues? I'd like to hope that there's a simple fix that doesn't require me changing to ST and using AT&T but I guess if I have to... I have too. I'm at a complete loss as to what else I could try in order to fix this.
All help, tips, suggestions are welcome. Thank guys!

I have had this issue on and off with SMS messages and "Waiting Voice Mail" messages over the years (mostly on pre-smartphones and G1). All you can really do is reboot the phone often (at least once a day). I think it's related to messages sent while your phone has no service, but not 100% sure.
For 3 yrs with a half dozen smartphones I had texting issues with tmo and now on straight talk tmo it is the same thing.
It hasn't been as bad as you seem to have it but there do sometimes seem to be heavy delays.
Since I updated to B29 I have noticed some serious cellular connectivity issues. While browsing the web I simply get no response. I have to toggle on/off the data switch in order to fix the connection, despite the phone showing 4G LTE and 3 or more bars on T-Mobile. Even accessing the Google Play Store I get a message the following message: "No Internet connection. Make sure Wi-Fi or cellular data is turned on, then try again", despite showing 4G LTE and 3 bars on my phone. Is anyone else experiencing the same bug? If so, has anyone found legit a fix? Or perhaps there is another bug you are experiencing. Please share with us in the forums.
Thank you for your time.
I haven't experienced any network issues since I updated. Granted, I didn't have problems with internet on B27 either. Which provider do you have? Did you fully wipe data when updating?
The only bug I've experienced is that sometimes apps don't stay in memory and have to be restarted everytime I switch back. A restart fixes the issue though
No issues on B29 with Verizon here.
No issues here on AT&T stock B29
Same here on att no issues.
I am on AT&T and wonder if others are having issue with going inside a building where the signal is weak and getting a "no signal" message? On the ZTE USA web site it has been pretty much nailed down to the radio hanging on to a weak LTE signal and dropping it instead of automatically switching over to 4G or 3G like it's supposed to do. I have had this issue from the day one, before B27 and B29. Hopefully ZTE will get the bug worked out soon.
My suggestion , before you blame the update is to call t-mobile and ask. They often have problems with towers, being hacked,etc and will not say anything unless asked.
I'm having issues with audio level dropping randomly. Happens when watching YouTube or listening to Apple music.
Some apps that could do background audio playback won't do it anymore in b29 for me, and the Facebook app closes when the screen goes off. Signal and all else seems to be the same for me.

I solved this issue with me a LONG time ago by turning off VoLTE. Did you try that?
I don't want to 'blame'the update, but ever since, whenever I minimize an app and then re-open it, it loads all over again. Webpage login again, games reload from beginning. I'm probably just missing something,...and it has nothing to do with update. Maybe I toggled something by accident,... Any ideas?
I got my new 2017u yesterday (iam german) and the first iam really impressed about the LTE/4G receiving but the 4G indicator seems to be buggy because it shows me allways 4G but in real i have only 3G/H. When i have real 4G/LTE it shows 4G and under that LTE.
I have my rooted so is it possible to change that, that it shows the real receiving instead of allways 4G?

HSPA+ in US is marked as 4G. I don't know how to change it with root, if you find a way post it!
thanx for clearing, dont know the difference. Hope that someone find a way to change that, but iam not the person, have not enough know how for that
Horizontal notifications are still unusable. How does something this simple still not fixed? Granted I hardly ever hold my phone horizontal but when I do and pull down the notification bar, I'm reminded how shoddy this software can be.

This is because ZTE chose a very high DPI setting for the phone making everything huge. I changed mine to 480 a while ago and everything is much smaller and landscape mode is a lot better. Granted there are still some graphical glitches here and there because of that change, but overall I'll take them. Hopefully when Nougat comes out they will ditch their in house quick toggles for stock ones and keep the new DPI slider so people can change it properly.
Hello! Please, can you give me some advice! When I come home my phone can't be connected to my home Wi-Fi network, but earlier it was already connected to it. The problem is solved with the help of reset of my phone or by means of switching on/switching off Wi-Fi. What should I do? Thanks.
Ever since most recent update my wi-fi connection has gone to pot. Sitting at home at my desk, literally in front of my router, the phone will drop wi-fi. Same thing happens at work with the not-as-close wi-fi service in the hall outside my door, so it's not my home router.
Result is that battery is depleting more quickly since, if I understand things correctly, the phone searches for wi-fi connection more often throughout the day.
That's saying nothing of Notifications going off the grid. The worst is the elimination of text notification -- no matter what I, or a Verizon rep at a store, try the text notification will not sound, resulting in countless missed text messages -- but most of the other notification settings are blunted as well. No notifications for hours, then all of a sudden I'll get a burst of Bleacher Report, email, Facebook notifications (some, HOURS old; and obviously not a notification that I've received a text).
I have to hope there'll be an update to the update sooner than later.
I'm on Rogers Canada and have their device.
Set up everything correctly by doing the setup and got an SMS notification that the wifi calling is active.
When I turn on wifi calling it says enabling for about 2 minutes and then it says enabled. However it doesn't actually work. I never get a wifi calling icon in status bar.
Called Rogers they said everything is good on their end.
Tired different wifi network and even a factory reset but no luck.
Any other suggestions?

Have you tried to test wifi calling? What kind of statusbar icon are you looking for? Just wondering whether it's really not working, or you are just not seeing it because the indication is subtle.
I was all ready to say "I have AT&T and enough dead spots at my house that I can verify it works well." But now that I am looking, I am seeing some strange behavior I have never noticed before.
First of all some terms / definitions. On the AT&T variant (Rogers might be different) you will get a special icon next to the "AT&T" in the notification bar, which is a little handset with a wifi icon, when you have an active wifi call. When you have wifi calling turned on, the normal wifi meter changes only slightly to one with a little + on it.
I had wifi off and toggled it on in order to see those icons so I could properly describe them here. I just had the normal wifi icon. I made a call, and it did not indicate it was using wifi calling. But after I hung up I had the wifi+ icon and the next call did indicate wifi calling. I repeated this process several times with the same result, even waiting 5-10 minutes to see if it became enabled on its own after some time. Now, since I always normally see the wifi+ icon anytime I happen to notice it, and I rarely make calls but frequently toggle wifi, there must be something else that triggers it. Sending a text seems to do it as well as a call. And a longer wait might do it also.
So, now that I have done some more thorough experimentation, it seems that there might be a little bug there. Or it might just be related to the particular wifi network I'm on right now.
Just tested it on my home wifi for comparison, and wifi calling came on as expected within a couple seconds of enabling wifi, which would probably explain why I never noticed this happening before.

Thank you for your reply.
According to Rogers I am supposed to get that WiFi icon that tells me WiFi calling is enabled but I never do. Sounds like I should have similar experience as you do.
I have a ticket open with them and we will see what they reply with next.
Even though I don't have the icon I tried a few things to make sure if it is working or not. One is turning on Airplane mode and enabling WiFi. Go into settings and it says WiFi calling is being enabled. This always takes about 2 minutes to turn on however calling never actually works. It's like something is blocking the WiFi connection but I've tried 4 different WiFi networks. It seems like you get that WiFi calling enabled right away after connecting to WiFI.
It started suddenly after a week on the January update, but I downgraded to Dec update and still have the same issues, meaning it's a hardware defect. Already reported this to google. Anyone else?
Had similar issue
I had a similar issue since yesterday. Tried booting into the safe mode to check if any third party app is doing it( If you wanna try that hold the power button then touch and hold the power icon on the screen). If it still stays it is a hardware issue you need to get it repaired. I just gave my phone to Ubreakfixit
Yes it is a hardware issue. Safe mode, factory reset, downgrading the software did not work.
This just happened to me this morning.
what is going on? this literally just happened to me too this morning. I can make calls via whatsapp/facebook etc, but if I try to call anyone it just says "calling" but there's no sound, eventually it cuts off. If someone tries to call me, the phone doesn't ring and I just get the sms saying there's a message in my voicemail. It says I'm on the 4g network, I can send sms messages and wifi works fine. If I have to ship the phone anywhere I'm ****ed, I'll have to buy another phone as a spare :crying:

It appears the bottom speaker just burnt out. Hundreds of other people have the same issue across all pixel models.

Looks like I'm one of the lucky ones. I had to go out and soon as I got to the next town a call came in, so I tested making more calls and it worked fine there. Upon returning home the issue returned. I figured it's gotta mean something is up with my provider or the nearby antenna so asked a few friends who live near me and a neighbour. Turns out they all have the same issue. I'll have to wait it out now and see if they fix it. The wierd part is 4g data and sms work fine and I've still got full signal strength or I'd have assumed that right away.

That sounds more plausible than hundreds of Pixels bottom speaker burning out all of a sudden. When the call supposedly comes in does it show on the screen or just go directly to voicemail? That would be the initial test of the speaker. Does it play music, can you hear notifications? Every once in a while that happens to me and then I just try again a mile or so down the road and it connects fine. If you have wifi calling you can try that too.

No, it was the service provider in the end. My whole town had the issue for a couple days. The company (movistar) have fixed it now so I can make calls and recieve them no problem. To say I was relieved is an understatement.
Bottom speaker broke out of nothing
I guess I'm really unlucky, me and my girlfriend got two pixel 4 in black Friday and both of the phones had the same issue, it started having a crackling sound for a few seconds and then the bottom speaker completely died while in a speakerphone call tried a factory reset with no luck, no sounds comes out, my girlfriend had the phone only for a few weeks when that happened, and in my phone happened last week, now we have to figure how to ship the phone back to the US and try to get a refund, since if it breaks again it would be close to impossible for us to ship it back again

Hello everyone
I own a pixel 4 and it has a constant problem.
after operating normally, suddenly for no apparent reason it loses all sounds and vibrations.
also it is not possible to make calls and freezes in various system applications.
sometimes this is solved with a simple restart of the phone, other times a factory reset is necessary and lately it is required to unlock the boot loader to reinstall the factory image and test with which security patch recovers all its functions and returns to function normally.
It started suddenly after a week on the January update
What would be the cause of this failure in the phone?
At first I reported the problem to google and they indicated the same to most of you; restarting the phone or factory reset and how the method worked no longer insisted.
after the February update its operation was normalized, but with the arrival of the May update the same problem returned.
I had to downgrade to the April update, then to the March update and after several attempts it worked again, but a few days later the problem returns and I have to repeat the process.
What arguments should i use to convince google to change the phone or return my money?
I never rooted
Buy the unlocked phone at BHphoto on Black Friday
model G020I
I live in Peru
NOTE: I do not speak English and use the translator.
sorry
I'm on latest Android 11 DP and I noticed that this release removed a lot of bass from the speaker. I think to prevent the clipping and damage of the speaker.

Is your "Do not disturb" mode turned on by chance.
Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion.
