So, I skimmed through the recent posts and seemed to find a couple of issues I've been having, but no one seems to be having all of them that I am, and I haven't found help that way yet.
So yesterday morning, I got a notification that there was an update for my phone, and just told it to update. Next thing I know, suddenly I'm on Android Pie and everything looks pretty and new and I'm excited.
Then in the afternoon, I started to notice iw as having connectivity issues. Specifically, my wifi and data will randomly disconnect, but not only disconnect, but fully turn off, and then turn back on. I have had so many failed texts, phone calls dropped, and websites needing to be reloaded. In fact my connection had dropped like three times while typing this. My phone is nearly unusable right now.
And then last night I went to watch something on my phone, and my headphones wouldn't connect! They work with my computer, and before the update they worked with my phone, but suddenly last night they wouldn't. No matter what I did, sound only came through the speaker while my headphones were plugged in.
I don't know if this is a Sony, Google, or somehow joint Verizon and Spectrum problem, but what the heck?
P. S, I heard that yesterday Verizon caused a "leak?" that caused themselves and spectrum to partially go down for a bit. I was thrilled to learn it had been handled, but it's still happening today, so I don't know if it's that or faulty code or what. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have problem with WiFi also, cannot found My home router at all. And very poor signal for other networks
I'm beginning to think it's just my phone's wifi that's being weird. I cometely turned it off and my data stopped turning off on its own. After about a day of consistent data signal, I turned wifi back on and within ten seconds they were both turning off and on. I don't have enough programming knowledge to know exactly what's happening, but it seems like for whatever reason, the wifi is interfering with the data and tripping then both.
Wifi has been off since Wednesday and data has been consistent. This isn't a viable fix for everyone, but I have unlimited data so I can live with that until they fix it.

There is one change in Android Pie you might want to check; the auto network switch (i.e. from mobile data to a known Wi-Fi network) is enabled by default.

As for the headphones, I dont' know, several have mentioned problems with sound only from the speaker.
