Summary
Multiple Pixel owners say Android 17’s stable rollout has wiped out 5G access after installation, with reports spanning the Pixel 9 Pro series, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a and Pixel 6a.
The bug appears to have scrambled cellular radio profiles and carrier band settings for some devices, leaving users stuck on slower connections after rebooting.
Some affected users also report disappearing eSIMs and saved Wi-Fi networks that no longer reconnect automatically, widening the update’s connectivity fallout.
Google’s Pixel Community support account has pointed users to reset mobile network settings as a workaround while the company is expected to ship a fuller fix in a coming monthly patch.
