I purchased Pixel 7a from AUSTRALIA through a friend of mine. I am living in Sri Lanka.
The Problem is;
When switch on wifi, the icon (ice cream icon) doesn’t show on the top of panel and it can’t find any WiFi router.
Only a person has showed a solution in google. What I have to do it always;
Keep on air plane mode and restart the phone. Then WiFi works well. Each and every time I need to do that when I go to a new WiFi area. That’s a real hassle for me. After office when I went home I need to restart the phone in airplane mode. Then once came to office I need to restart the phone to enable WiFi. Every Steps that are shown in Google Community were followed by myself. But the problem is not yet resolved.
I expect that Google will fix the problem with a new update or patch.
