Pixel 8 not looking for wifi networks

Issues
1
  • Device: (Pixel 8)
  • iodéOS Version: (75-20260427-shiba)
  • Affected App(s): (Network connections)

Short Description:

Pixel 8 stopped looking for WiFi networks. Other devices work fine on my home wifi. Tried rebooting both phone (several times) and router. Each time I go back to Internet settings, “Use Wi-Fi” is off. When I turn it on, networks don’t appear. When I leave Internet Settings and go back, “Use Wi-Fi” is off again. 5G Mobile service works fine, but mobile service is lousy in my neighborhood.

New Issue, Regression, or Feature Request?

Speculation is that your dns connectivity check is failing, and then the system thinks you don’t have internet so possibly disables the connection? Can you check on that and report what dns servers are set for your home network devices? (In my case before, cloudflare 1.1.1.1 was causing this issue, but after changing to quad9 9.9.9.9. the check works again and there are no issues)

At one point I decided to put the phone into a safe mode that disables all apps. The next morning I found that it could find the networks again. Not sure what to think about that.

Again there is a difference between the connectivity check reporting you have no internet and it not having internet. So clarification is needed.

If it is truly it not able to detect and use wifi then this is a bigger issue. Has this always been true since first installing iodéOS?

No, it’s an intermittent issue. This time safe mode is not helping.
