Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Airplane Mode Still On
Reason: Forgetting to turn off Airplane Mode after enabling it to troubleshoot other issues prevents your device from connecting to mobile data.
Solution: Ensure Airplane Mode is toggled off in your device's Quick Settings or Settings menu.
2. Data Saver Enabled
Reason: Activating Data Saver restricts background data usage, potentially preventing some apps from accessing mobile data or severely limiting their functionality.
Solution: Disable Data Saver in your device's Settings under Network & internet > Data usage.
FAQs
My Pixel 6 still has no mobile data after trying all the steps. What else can I do?
If the basic troubleshooting steps haven't worked, consider these options: Check for carrier network outages (contact your provider), ensure your SIM card is correctly inserted and functioning, perform a factory reset (back up your data first!), or contact Google support for further assistance. A hardware issue may be at play if other solutions fail.
Why is my mobile data working sometimes and not others on my Pixel 6?
Intermittent mobile data issues often indicate a problem with your network connection or your phone's software. Check for network congestion in your area, ensure your phone's software is up-to-date, and try restarting your device. A faulty SIM card or network settings could also be the cause. If the problem persists, consider contacting your carrier or Google support.
