Latest "bug fixes and stability improvements" neither fixes bugs nor improves stability. Once you have a version that works, don't update because it's a roll of the dice as to what's going to break. Clearly they can't be putting much effort into it because the team is too lazy to even give a description as to what's changed from one version to the next. I just assume that nothing has changed as description is always the same.
Reviews for Carrier Services
← Back to Carrier Servicesthis app recently started hogging more data and then when you try to clear it, it has newly started to log me out of YouTube. Literally wasn't doing that 2 days ago. Getting tired of Google based technology, they make changes that aren't user friendly and take away customer choice. I would like the choice to use apps without logging in. Don't always want data being collected about me. Invasive.
My phone is unreliable since the last update. The phone body is hot, my battery is low after 2 hours. It turns off randomly, I even had to buy a classic alarm, because when I go to bed, my phone turns off during the night despite the battery was fully charged. Please please do something! This app eats up my new phone what haven't had any problems before.
Calls drop after one minute. Alot of the times I cannot receive calls either. When to try to uninstall but that option isn't given on pixel phone. A disaster of an app and no one seems to be able to do anything about it (yes, an emotional response but when you can't make/take calls for weeks, it's to be expected. Also, it's not a network issue).
This update made my phone's connectivity worse, making it unusable at times, as did the next to last update did also. I can be at home and my phone constantly disconnects from my wifi network as well as from my carriers mobile network, so I'm basically left with an MP3 player that can take pictures. I wish I knew how to roll back one version to the last one that worked, and I would then never update this app again. If your phone is working properly, don't mess with it, and skip this update.
This cause mobile network connection to become totally unreliable, and drains your battery in no time, due to constant reconnection attempts. Since I updated I've had to switch my phone to 3g from 4g in order to maintain connectivity. It's ok to say it's the networks fault, and not the apps but if 90% of the reviews on here all say the same thing it's safe to assume there's definitely a problem, and who's fault it is, is not my problem. I've had enough of 'not good enough'.
Look at it's permissions, very intrusive spyware. You have no control over this. You cannot disable it. For me, it constantly tries to connect to a carrier different from the one I have, takes over the phone and freezes it for 6 minutes, during this I can't even use my phone! I'm on day 2 now of it freezing my phone like this every few hours, for 6 minutes, all because I did a reboot. I go through this each time I do a reboot. Google needs to get it's act together.
I've read others reviews and I didn't even know I had this app. My phone keeps turning itself off and back on. Sometimes in the middle of a phone call. I have a hard time getting wifi or even able to use my data. Can't get or send pictures to and from family and friends. It sounds like all the reviews I've read are pretty much saying the same thing. I'm not just thinking about uninstalling this app, Iam uninstalling it as soon as I'm done writing this. I think it's a f*!#ed up thing your doing .
Since last update my phone is very slow on data or wifi. Removing update until it is fixed. Still not working properly since new update. Thanks for nothing. Also, when I receive text I will somehow get double sent text from people. Downloading from my browser or anywhere like with updates on my apps is very slow and will stop running. Never updated properly, my advice is to delete the updates on the app and leave the app as is. This seems to speed up data and wifi.
The newest update has screwed up my phone. My call features, like using speakerphone or just trying to talk in general, don't work. I can't send picture messages or any message with a link in it. Also, the swipe option keyboard no longer works properly and puts random words in. The camera gives me an error code and won't work. Most of the apps malfunction now as well.
Ever since this update, my cell service is been mostly non functional. I can't stream music at all, weather apps and websites don't load, calls drop. Apps say that I don't have internet connection when it shows full LTE bars. Google Pixel 3a. **I just UNinstalled this app and now my cell service works again! For anyone else that wants to do this: go to the app store, find this app, click uninstall, put your phone in airplane mode then turn off airplane mode, restart your phone.
I've always had some of the bad experiences some people here have mentioned. Like the person on the other line not being able to hear me for the first few seconds, and/or me not being able to hear them. Sometimes I have to take the phone away from my ear and hit the mute button and then unmute just so the other person can hear me. Worst is lately though... Sometimes the phone will show 3-5 bars, but will act like I've just dropped the signal. Can't get anything to work at all.
Not receiving all texts. Not sure recipients are receiving my texts also. Spoke to a few people who have texted me and they are nowhere to be found in my messaging app. Problem can be caused by anything, but this app was updated 2 days ago and that's when I started having problems. Many others are complaining of the same problem. Please update/roll back app.
This app did an update on 12/3/20 and ever since then I have been having problems sending and receiving text messages. My text messages won't send and I can't receive messages. Sometimes after restarting my phone I will receive some messages but not always. I finally narrowed it down to what the culprit was and uninstall this app and my text messaging is working great, back to normal!!
I see a lot of reviews critizing that people don't know what this does. The bad reviews are not about what the app is supposed to do, but what the app is doing by accident. For the past two days my texts messages have not been sending like normal. I keep getting errors and I attempt to resend. After looking into the issue the fix seems to be deleting this app. As soon as I uninstalled it my texts started sending again. It doesn't matter if "it works" if it's causing interference with texting.
I just got a new phone which installed this app with it. It made it so I couldn't send any sms messages at all! I could still receive sms (about 10-15 minutes later than they actually sent it) but I could not send. After a few hours of digging I came to the conclusion that this app is what was causing me problems. I uninstalled it and my sms messages IMMEDIATELY started working again so I know for 100% that this app was at fault. I'd give 0 stars if I could! Glad to have it gone.
Apps on my new Pixel 6 Pro keeps crashing randomly. They just stop working. Some of them need uninstalled and reinstalled because once they crash wont start again. Hope you guys at Google are working fast on getting an update to fix all these bugs on a new update that it's available for everybody (connectivity, sound, etc., which I'm also experiencing on my phone). The whole situation is frustrating. Makes me feel I have a beautiful and powerful tool on my hands that it's good for nothing.
Idk what Google did; this nonsense has been going on since mid-May. To everyone who's been having issues, here's a few things that help: Turn OFF Chat. It sucks, but that's the only way people will get your texts. An issue I've been experiencing is the Google verification stuff will not work on cellular data. I have to either connect to Wi-Fi, or go into the app settings, clear the storage/cache from CS app, & restart the phone, don't re-connect Wi-Fi. 500 letter limit. Hope this helps.
So, I understand that many people are undergoing the same issue, but I would REALLY like a fix to this ongoing problem I've had since the last update. Whenever I open my messages app, I keep getting warnings that messages aren't going to work properly unless I update this app. Oddly, when I check there is no clear update available. It's aggravating because it sometimes prevents me from texting for certain periods of time, even when I have excellent Internet. Please resolve this irritating issue.
Clearly there is an issue with this release because those using it claim the beta version "fixes" the connectivity issues. I lost connection a couple times and errantly blamed it on a "no phone zone"...not the case! Imagine your life was on the line and you couldn't call for help because of this bug? With how much importance we place on our cell phones, you'd think this would be a high priority fix. PS - Don't bother emailing the address listed on here. They stopped monitoring it.
