[It's solved! March Security Patch solved the problem!] 2019-03-09
Hello buddies,
I live in Japan, and I've bought a Pixel 3 about 1 month ago. Everything is fine so far despite I can't access Amazon websites (.com or .co.jp, or .com.br, whatever), both in browsers or Amazon Shopping app. My wife has an iPhone and there is no problem with that. By laptop has no problem too. It's about the Pixel 3, I think.
I've made a quick research, and I found some people with the same problem here in Japan, but not only with Amazon websites, but some others too. For this research I'm using a translator from Japanese language, and I didn't get any tips to solve this.
Does someone have the same problem? Any suggestion to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Might not help, but have you tried using a different browser app?
Very odd, just tried it here in China and it works fine.

Is it the App or the website?
Have you tried using a VPN?

It's both: app and the website, no matter browser.
A VPN? I haven't tried yet, I'll try to find how to setup it in Pixel 3, and then I post the results here.
Thanks!

Hey @Torombolo,
Yes, I've tried VPN Hub, and anothers VPNs app too, and nothing. I'm really believing that the problem is my device. I guess I've tried all the possibilities. Actually, I'm very disappointed with Pixel because of that...

The update version is 2019 February 5th
And I haven't tried a factory reset yet. Maybe it's the last try yeah?
Well, I did the factory reset, nothing!
Then I've found out that I can access all the websites which I'm having trouble using 4G. So, If I change my connection from WiFi to Data, I can access. It's very weird, isn't?

Could be an issue with the router.

No, it's not the router, because on my wife's iPhone it's connecting normally, laptop either. My brother's Note 8 is also connecting. It.seems that there is a lot of people with the same problem on Pixel 3.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9ptp9c/pixel_3_wifi_issue/
Very strange. Could just be a DNS problem. Try using Blockada. It's free and lets you choose different DNS servers.

Yes, I did so.
It support android 1.6 and below, everything above that iv tried it on force closes while its loading contacts.
Yeah, Mine 2.2 FC
Working fine on Desire with cyanogenmod 6.0.2 Froyo2.2 and latest radio... The biggest annoyance though is that it does not work when wireless is enabled... I have Skype from 3 on my nokia and it works on the 3g connection regardless of the state of wifi...
It drains my battery very fast when locating by wireless network is enabled.
Android system disconnects the mobile network as soon as it is connected to the Wifi, so it is not capable of doing that.
So here is the situation. before i use wifi tethering, I can connect to my bome network. After i run the wifi router app, and turn it off, I can no longer connect to my home network. It finds the network fine. tried disabling router password too. It just continues to try to connect but never does. Only fix I can find for this is to perform a hard reset. I hate doing that.
Ok i had the same problem wifi already finds the network but cannot make connection and how much you trying its getting worse. I don't have my own network and hard reset didn't work. I think it happened because in the registry the phone cannot refresh the information that fast. Try to don't use wifi some time, few days that's worked for me and if someone knows what the problem is, help us!

same problem here. I´m using a vodafone-stock-rom. It has never been different.
But you do not need to go through a hard-reset. If you trigger wifi manually, everything will work again without problems (settings, more, connections, wlan). If you don not want to go this way, just start your phone again (soft reset) and everything will be fine too.
Ill try that. but a soft reset does not solve my issue

Well, the app seems to work for me on ART. It should work for you as well, I would suggest back up the TWC app with an app like Rom toolbox lite, (it should do back-ups without root), uninstall twc and restore the back up. It sometimes resolves crashes issues with some apps for me.
You are welcome to root your device and will find more solutions. so far, very safe to root nexus 5.

I tried everything and still no luck. I will leave it alone for now. I don't want to root the phone. I feel that every time I root a phone it goes down to ****. Reliability, GPS, pictures everything sucks. I will change my cable company but not root any more.

Your hesitation is not unwarranted, but it is incredibly easy to root a Nexus 5. I'd check with others in the community for the app and see if anyone else is experiencing issues.

If you do want to root it, that's how you would do it. I never endorsed rooting though, since I think that in this case, if you just provided a bit more info, we could work it out without the potential of wiping all the data.
Have you tried completely uninstalling the app and any others that may conflict with it?

Stumbled upon this earlier today... download the QuickShortcutMaker app from the playstore.
Open it up and do a search for TEST. The last option to come up should be com.test.LTEFunctionality. Expand that, and click on the LTE test underneath of it. Then click TRY in the app. Scroll down to LTE APN Setting. The APNs are fully editable, and survive multiple reboots. I was able to add DUN, as well as proxy settings from adblock. wooo whoo! Apologies if this has been metioned elsewhere, but I haven't seen it.

Would also like to know. Also when I search "TEST" the last option isn't what you posted. Mine is Google Play Games (com.google.android.gms etc etc... )
This works perfectly for me. I searched for LTE and found the right one. Thanks!
Got to this part, what do I edit so that Sprint doesn't know if I'm using phone data or hotspot data? I'm on a 10 gig hotspot plan and need just a little bit more.

On the Note5 try searching for "ROAM" or "APN", I vaguely remember seeing some roaming/APN options on a Sprint version.
Try all the activities... YMMV

10Gigs/month? I go through that in 2 days, sometimes pushing over a 100gigs a month on LTE prepaid for only 50 bucks a month.
In 2017 you can do better than that, not having to dread the friggin' data limits
Just check around, there are plenty of nationwide prepaid offerings, and with a little tweaking you can do it too.
You're the best!

I'm not really sure how to check it, but it seems to be working for me. Reason being, in have a 10g free with my unlimited plan, but I suppose I need to run that out first?

Hello, so I was using the free VPN from Google 1 that comes with the pixel 7 pro just fine until a few days ago I noticed it disconnected by itself. I tried to enable it again but now I'm getting this error attached below. I have no idea how this happened and I haven't changed a thing on my phone. Is anyone able to use it still?

Same for me. I noticed it on Friday.

Glad u posted this. I've been in a telegram for a lsposed module asking if anyone else using the module was having the same issue of that module making the p7p VPN stop. I guess it's not the module and is just the VPN itself.
Anyway, ya, mine isn't working either. Proton VPN is probably better anyway.
Same error here, it used to work last month (I'm on January stable). No big deal though as I don't really use it for now.

Yeah that's the issue. It's supposed to be free for p7/p phones. I believe that was advertised at its release. Google will have to provide it now.

Who like to take that offer even for free...? There is no possibility to change location. "Unfortunately, the VPN by Google One is very barebones, and it’s kind of similar to Apple’s own Private Relay feature in iCloud+. The Google One VPN will reduce online tracking by hiding your IP address, protect you from hackers on unprotected Wi-Fi networks, and give you a secure and private connection when browsing the web." REDUCE? Really? Should be completely blocked. Google is really big business and everything what they do is not fir us. Everything is to get bigger money. How you can trust to VPN Google if they have some internal policy for that service. Is not VPN. VPN can block all tracking. Not just reduced.
Same here. January stable rooted. Anyone who's not rooted the device experiencing it?
