In this guide, we will show you the detailed steps to fix the A1 Telekom network issue on your Pixel device. Starting with the sixth iteration, Google decided to ditch the Qualcomm chipset in favor of its own in-house Tensor [with a touch of Exynos] and to be fair, things haven’t looked quite great ever since. The likes of battery drainage, overheating, poor modem, and network connectivity have ruined the usage experience for the users.
While Google has finally decided to leave Exynos and be the sole party in the manufacturing process, however, Pixel 10 will be the first device with that chipset, which is still a couple of years down the lane. Until then, it is proving to be quite a challenging time for many, even when it comes to carrying out basic activities such as making a call or using carrier data.
In this regard, numerous A1 Telekom users have voiced their concern that they are unable to carry out any of the just mentioned tasks on their Pixel device due to poor network connection. The issue is only with Pixel devices as they could use the same carrier in the same region on other devices without any issues whatsoever. If you are also facing these issues, then this guide will make you aware of a nifty workaround that should rectify this bug. So without further ado, let’s check it out.
Fix A1 Telekom Network Issue on Pixel
- Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Then download and install the Shizuku app from Play Store.
- Now go to Settings > System > About Phone > tap on Build Number 7 times.
- Then go to System > Developer options > enable USB Debugging.
- Now connect your device to your PC via a USB cable.
- Then open the Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder and execute the below command:
